The Catastrophe Clan?
Guan Ren was taken aback when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, the first monsters to invade the real world in his previous life were the Army of Catastrophe!
At the same time, the Catastrophe Clan was also the main opponent players faced in the first expansion pack of Heaven's Arrival.
"Sunward Town, actually, was one of the seven ancient towns in times long past, once thriving in its heyday. However, as time passed, it has fallen into decline."
The Heavenly Emperor said with a bitter smile, "The original Sunward Town was a movable town, floating in mid-air, chasing the sun every day without nightfall. That's the origin of its name."
Is that so?
Guan Ren was startled, unaware of such history surrounding Sunward Town.
"However, the Catastrophe Clan suddenly appeared later, destroying all the ancient towns, causing them to lose their respective functions, and Sunward Town was among them."
The Heavenly Emperor said solemnly, "Now, after thousands of years, the ancient towns have gradually become desolate, but their foundations still exist. In fact, beneath Sunward Town, at the core of its energy, there remain three strands of Heavenly Mystery energy. You just need to successfully obtain them, and you can refine the power of a layer of The Heart of Heaven's Punishment, thereby temporarily freeing yourself from the current constraints of The Heart of Heaven's Punishment on your power."
"How do I reach the underground?"
Guan Ren asked, frowning.
"Don't rush, to get close to the energy core underground, you must break the seal left here by the Catastrophe Clan once."
The Heavenly Emperor stated, "Now, after thousands of years, the original seal is not very strong, and next, you just need to head to the monster lairs around Sunward Town, find the monsters infected by the Catastrophe demonic energy, collect five strands of Catastrophe demonic energy from them, and you can use the demonic energy to easily break the seal and reach the deep underground where the energy core is placed."
Hearing this, Guan Ren slowly nodded. It seemed he needed to beat up the strong Bosses around Sunward Town one by one?
But this was exactly what he wanted. Although he was only one step away from reaching level 10, the experience required for upgrading the Ultimate Acceleration System to level 3 was still a distance away. If he could hunt down some Bosses next, he would gain quite a bit of experience. Once the system upgraded, he would gain new ability enhancements, which would significantly boost his strength.

"Thank you."
Guan Ren said sincerely.
"You don't need to thank me. In doing this, I'm also helping myself."
The Heavenly Emperor said with a faint smile, "I have a premonition that in the not-too-distant future, the Gods and Demons Clan will surely make a comeback. At that time, if we can have your assistance, I believe our chances of winning will be much higher."
"Here, take this token. It can help you explore the Heavenly Mystery energy within a hundred miles. With it, I believe your journey will be much more convenient."
The Heavenly Emperor pulled out a token emitting a faint purple glow from within his robe and handed it to Guan Ren.
"Good luck!"
With a slight smile, the Heavenly Emperor tapped his hood, his body becoming a shadow and gradually dissolving into the air.
Whoosh—
As the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, the distorted space around finally returned to normal. The bustling of players in the town made Guan Ren feel somewhat surreal.
【Heavenly Mystery Token (Lv0): A token crafted by the Heavenly Emperor using Heavenly Mystery energy, it can locate Heavenly Mystery energy within a hundred miles. Basic attributes +100, Luck +5, Charm +5. Wearing requirements: The Host of The Heart of Heaven's Punishment, Upgrade condition: For each Heavenly Mystery rune refined, level +1.】
An upgradable token!
Guan Ren focused his gaze, utterly shocked.
These tokens, similar to medals, only require occupying a single backpack space to provide players with the attributes they add. The value of upgradable tokens is evident.
Although the Heavenly Mystery Token is only level 0, it provides significant attribute bonuses. It's hard to imagine what the attributes would be like after it upgrades!
Quickly putting the token into his backpack, Guan Ren's attributes received a substantial boost.

A 100-point base attribute boost caused his attributes to surge suddenly. Apart from the increase in his physique, his speed also got a significant boost!
In Heaven's Arrival, every 20 points of agility increases the player's attack, movement speed, and critical hit chance by 1%.
Now, with a total of 150 points in agility, although the increase isn't massive, combined with the system's acceleration abilities, it's a whole different story.
With the bonuses from his equipment and the system, his maximum attack speed per second could reach 14 hits!
This is a terrifying number!
"Next, it's time to hunt down Bosses!"
Guan Ren's mouth curved into a smirk. The rudeness of monsters outside Sunward Town was fundamentally due to the influence of Catastrophe demonic energy.
Therefore, if he wanted to collect Catastrophe demonic energy, high-level, high-quality Bosses were undoubtedly the first choice.
Considering that Sunward Town is a newcomer's village, logically, the maximum level of monsters here wouldn't exceed level 10, while the maximum level for Bosses wouldn't surpass level 15.
After purchasing a monster distribution map from the general goods store, Guan Ren briefly scanned it and finally locked his gaze on one location—Shadowy Woods.
This area is a level 10 zone, the highest level wild monster area among all surrounding areas of Sunward Town, and also the most severely polluted by Catastrophe demonic energy. Three types of monsters are distributed here: Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flowers, Shadowy Demon Cats, and Venomous Wild Wolves.
This time, Guan Ren was personally heading to this terrifying area to find the five strands of Catastrophe demonic energy needed to open the seal beneath Sunward Town!
