Ye Yun was no longer interested in the others. The system had just pinged a new check-in notification.
He decisively checked in and was not expecting to win the grand prize.
Thinking about the people of the Martial Soul Hall had accidentally triggered a check-in which rewarded him something that would change his views of that world - he had obtained the World Map!
"This is awesome! System, I love you so much!"
Ye Yun couldn't suppress his excitement as he immediately checked the world map! The system's virtual screen also displayed the relevant information.
[Item: World Map. Rank: Super God Item. ]
[Description: The World Map displays the current location of the host in the world. It includes everything from every continent, village, and countless check-in locations. More of the World Map will be displayed with each new check-in location. Once you have explored the entire World Map and completed the ultimate check-in mission, you will receive an unexpected surprise.]
[Current World Map Progress: 0.0001%]
[Places Explored: The willow tree of Stone Village. Please do your best to explore more places.]
[Note: The World Map does not provide navigation services to places, new or explored.]
[Note: The World Map does not have a Shared Location or Teleportation function.]
[Note: The World Map can be upgraded. After upgrading, the host can set up new functions.]
[Note: The World Map will only reveal newly explored locations after check-in.]
Ye Yun stared at the description of the World Map on the virtual screen and was momentarily stunned.
It's a Super God item! So the rewards provided by the system were divided into ranks!
Why didn't it say so from the beginning? Could it be that the rewards he had obtained previously were too low in rank or that he did not read the description carefully?
Ye Yun wanted to look at the World Map first, and then check the rewards he had received.
The World Map appeared in Ye Yun's mind and he immediately saw Perfect Continent right in the middle of it.
There were many other small sub-worlds or continents around it but some of their names had been blotted out.
The closest ones were Martial Soul Continent and Heavenly Flame Continent. Ye Yun could see their names because they were connected to Perfect Continent.
However, compared to Perfect Continent, the size of Martial Soul Continent was like a drop in the ocean. Their total area was less than 30% of Perfect Continent.
In terms of size, Perfect Continent seemed to be the largest of them all.
There were red dotted lines between the three continents - these were the boundary walls.
After looking at the map, he knew that it was possible to cross over to other continents.
Ye Yun decided not to think about the rest of the unknown places on the World Map and focused on the places he could see for now.
He had only covered 0.0001% of the map. That meant that he had to cultivate hard to get a human form or soul avatar so that he could check in at new locations.
Ye Yun had quite an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and looking at the World Map only made him want to conquer all of it.
At a larger scale, the village chief had finally finished his discussion with the bishop and the rest of the Outsiders.
The village chief agreed that the bishop and the others could leave Stone Village, but they had to tell the truth of the situation to the other two villages and get them to apologize.
In addition, the Outsiders had to capture prey for the desolate Stone Village for half a year but could not stay with them.
The bishop did not even bother to consider the request. He simply agreed immediately. He just wanted the village chief to extinguish the anger of the Stone Village's ancestor.
If the people of Stone Village were no longer angry, the ancestor who protected Stone Village would also forgive them.
Since they had no idea how to return to their continent yet, the Outsiders knew that they had to rely on the benevolence of the peak expert ancestor if they were to survive in Perfect Continent.
They were only dealing with 'ordinary' villagers today. But if cultivators from the city appeared in the desolate mountain forests one day, the Outsiders could be killed with a blink of an eye.
To the bishop, survival was more important right now.
"Alright, we agree to your terms. We will serve you for the time being. Please forget about what happened earlier," said the bishop with a fake smile.
"Great. Everything that needed to be said has been said. You can leave now," said the village chief coldly and arrogantly with his hands behind his back. The farce today had finally ended and he was exhausted.
Night had already fallen by the time they were done with their discussions and the children had yet to eat.
The bishop and his men quickly left Stone Village looking extremely miserable. They were just grateful that they were able to leave alive in one piece.
While they rejoiced, they also felt quite a bit of resentment towards Wolf Village.
"If Wolf Village had not lied, we would not have gone through all that trouble and risked our lives!" One of the men finally said what everyone had been thinking once they were already quite a ways from Stone Village.
"You're right. They must have known about the existence of the strong ancestor in Stone Village. That's why they asked us to investigate first," said one of the members.
"F*ck, if we can't even deal with the people of Stone Village, how are we going to deal with those from Wolf Village? Alright, enough talking. It's time we take action!"
"That's right, Bishop. If Wolf Village went through all that trouble lying just to get us to deal with Stone Village for them, that must also mean that they are probably not as strong and confident against Stone Village. I think we should be fine if we deal with Wolf Village," said one of the members.
"Everyone, please calm down and give me some time to think about things." The bishop had indeed received quite some useful feedback from his members but he still needed to organize his thoughts.
Deep down, he was quite furious. He was the bishop of the Hall of Souls and had the pride of one. But he had to humbly bow and kneel to mere villagers today and lost his dignity. How could he not be angry?
At the same time, the incident at Stone Village had also traumatized him and made him slightly wary of the strength of Wolf Village as well.
However, what they said made sense. If there were strong people in Wolf Village, why would they trick the Outsiders into doing what they could have easily done themselves?
He was determined to take revenge on the people of Wolf Village. However, it was better to be cautious. Lest they let history repeat.
"How about we hold off on punishing Wolf Village for now and just focus on getting them to apologize to Stone Village first? That way, we can already appease some of that ancestor's anger. As for what we should do, we will discuss it after we get the truth from Wolf Village."
"F*ck, I hope the strong prevail here. Otherwise, all the humiliation today will be repaid with double!" The bishop gritted his teeth and frowned in anger.
