Chapter 23 - Chapter 154: The Powerful Newcomer's Golden Finger! Changing the Future

Among the four, Cai Yonglong, with Wang Ping's help, had overtaken everyone. With his perfect Profound Elixir Realm cultivation and the flawless Profound Elixir he had condensed, Cai Yonglong was the strongest among them, except for Chen Yao.

Even if they included the relatively weak Zhang Yueying, this lineup was already quite powerful. Facing opponents with combat power and unusual abilities, they had no problems.

However, the key issue was that without Wang Ping's simulator, they couldn't identify who this unusual individual was or what their abilities were.

So, based on their previous experiences, they could only act cautiously and avoid revealing themselves.

When dealing with such anomalies, the most crucial aspect was information. If one side revealed their hand first, it could become troublesome.

Cai Yonglong and the others had a simple plan: stall for time until Wang Ping could come to their aid.

Alternatively, if they caught the anomaly's main body, they could deal with it directly.

Besides the anomaly, there were also some incidents related to Xu Yifan's live broadcast that had sparked discussions in the chat group, but they weren't considered major issues, and Wang Ping didn't pay much attention to them.

"These anomalies really make life uneasy. They appear from time to time," Wang Ping muttered as he looked at the chat group's content.

"Anomalies are like hidden treasures. If you can solve them, you can earn a lot of group points. It's not something to be missed," Wang Ping commented to himself.

"If there's nothing else, I'm willing to take a trip and earn some group points. After all, I need several million more group points to purchase the Golden Finger Optimizer for the Life Simulator," Wang Ping thought.

"By the way, how many group points do I have now?" Wang Ping suddenly remembered his group points and checked.

He had earned group points by completing tasks, but he also received a share of the points earned by other group members when they completed group tasks. This allowed him to accumulate points without actively participating.

"Not bad, over five million already? With a bit more effort, I'll have enough for ten million group points," Wang Ping said, satisfied with his current balance.

As he was about to send a message in the chat group and head to Zhang Yueying's world, the chat group system made an announcement.

"Ding, member Ding Xuan (88) has joined the group chat."

"Ding, member Zeng Lingdong (89) has joined the group chat."

"Ding, member Zhou Dawei (90) has joined the group chat."

"Wow, it's been a while. We finally have some newcomers. I wonder how many of them will survive this time and what kind of Golden Finger they'll get," Wang Ping mused as he heard the announcements.

He still valued newcomers, as their Golden Finger could be beneficial for the chat group's development and future team battles.

Immediately, Wang Ping chose to chime in.

Wang Ping (66): "Welcome, newcomers! Newcomers' First Photo.jpg."

Zhang Hu (5): "Oh, we have newcomers! Welcome, welcome. By the way, Wang Ge, you finally decided to speak up."

Zhao Sihan (87): "I'm not a newbie anymore! I'm one of the veterans now, QQ."

Chen Si (83): "No, you're the old cat. QQ."

Zhao Sihan (87): "Uh..."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Wow, Wang Ge, you finally spoke up."

Chen Yao (71): "Although it's embarrassing, when facing anomalies, it's safer to rely on Wang Ge."

Zhang Jun (70): "Ahem, I second that."

Zhang Yueying (86): "With Wang Ge speaking up, I strangely feel at ease!"

Qin Tian (77): "Wang Ge, help me quickly. I don't want to stay awake all night!"

Wang Ping (66): "I'm really impressed by you, old six. It seems you haven't grown at all. Rolling eyes.jpg."

Fang Yun (3): "Here it comes, the classic 'speaking without responsibility'! Hilarious.jpg."

Wang Ping (66): "Hmm? Do you want to be banned from the chat? Warning.jpg."

Fang Yun (3): "Ahem, Wang Ge, my bad."

Ding Xuan (88): "This chat group for time travelers is so lively. If it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't believe I'd joined a group of chuunibyou."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "Indeed. Although I've read some novels about main god spaces and such, encountering this situation in real life is quite bewildering."

Zhou Dawei (90): "I know it's true, but I still clicked 'Agree.' I couldn't resist the temptation of extraordinary power."

Wang Ping (66): "Since you guys are so receptive, let's not waste time chatting here. After all, you only have half an hour to make a choice. Either take on a physical body or become a wandering soul. If you choose a physical body, you can receive the chat group's Newcomer Survival Welfare Package, which we, the old members, have prepared for you. It can increase your chances of survival."

Wang Ping (66): "As for becoming a wandering soul, you don't need to prepare anything. You can temporarily disregard what the gift package is, how to use it, and the fact that you can't take it with you. If you choose to become a wandering soul, first, you need to determine what you'll transform into—human, cat, or even a grasshopper."

Ding Xuan (88): "A grasshopper!?"

Zhou Dawei (90): "Wow, this crossing thing is quite outlandish, isn't it?"

Zeng Lingdong (89): "In that case, I'll choose a physical body."

Fang Yun (3): "A physical body? Hilarious! Haven't you guys read the group announcement? I suggest you calm down and make your choices."

Following Fang Yun's words, the three newcomers quickly checked the group announcement.

Then, they fell into silence.

Choosing a physical body seemed dangerous, and becoming a wandering soul wasn't necessarily safe either.

In this day and age, was crossing over really this tricky?

Zhang Hu (5): "Don't let Fang Yun scare you. That's from an old group announcement. The chat group has changed a lot now, and the risk factor and the likelihood of landing in a bad situation can't be compared to before."

Fang Yun (3): "Tsk, you're exposing me. Not fun at all. When dealing with newcomers, how can I not have some fun?"

Wang Ping (66): "It's been a while since resurrection, and you can't resist your masochistic tendencies anymore, can you? I don't mind helping you loosen up your muscles and bones."

Fang Yun (3): "Ahem, my bad."

Cai Yonglong (1): "This guy needs a lesson. Anyway, newcomers, make your choice quickly. We're waiting for Wang Ge to come and save the

 day."

Ding Xuan (88): "I'll choose to become a wandering soul. I feel like taking on a physical body isn't safe. Plus, the most important goal is that I'm not good-looking. Maybe, as a wandering soul, I have a chance to become a handsome guy!"

Zhao Sihan (87): "Um, is it possible to become a beautiful woman as well? QQ."

Ding Xuan (88): "."

Fang Yun (3): "Haha, that's a direct hit to the heart."

Ding Xuan (88): "No, this isn't a heart attack. To become a beautiful woman or something like that, isn't that a blessing from heaven? No, I should say it's a gift from the chat group! I'm getting excited!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Ping (66): "Outrageous. Are people really playing like this these days?"

Chen Yao (71): "Can we consider this chat group as having acquired another weirdo?"

Fang Yun (3): "Impressed, you're truly unique. I officially declare you the chat group's number one weirdo."

Zhang Jun (70): "By the way, wasn't there a case of someone becoming a girl in the group? Hilarious.jpg."

Wu Jun (20): "Ah, Zhang Ge, if you don't mention this, we can still be good friends."

Wang Ping (66): "Xiao Junzi's situation is the result of using the Golden Finger and not something you can generalize. It's different, and you can't compare it."

Wu Jun (20): "That's right! Wang Ge is absolutely right!"

Zhang Jun (70): "Ahem, it was just a joke. Don't mind me."

Ding Xuan (88): "I don't care if you call me weird; I'll choose to become a wandering soul!"

Zhang Hu (5): "Tsk tsk tsk, he's quite determined."

Zeng Lingdong and Zhou Dawei, the two newcomers, decided to observe Ding Xuan's situation after his transformation before making their own choices.

Soon, Ding Xuan chose to become a wandering soul, and the results were out: he successfully transformed.

However, what made him panic was that he didn't cross over into a human's body. Instead, he found himself inside the body of a female tiger.

Ding Xuan (88): "Damn, I'm losing my mind!"

Chen Kang (67): "Haha, you got turned into a female tiger. That's not bad at all. This starting point is much better than crossing over as an ordinary human. Hilarious.jpg."

Fang Yun (3): "Chen Kang, are you laughing? Haven't you forgotten about your miserable situation after crossing over? You dare to laugh at others."

Chen Kang (67): "..."

Seeing Fang Yun's words, Chen Kang was silenced, feeling terrible and unable to respond.

Zhao Sihan (87): "I always feel that this chat group has a particular liking for cat-like creatures. I became a cat, and Ding Xuan became a tiger..."

Wang Ping (66): "That's not important. As long as you're not dead. I'm just curious about one thing: what kind of world did he cross into? Now, quickly draw out your Golden Finger, and the group members will give you some advice on how to survive."

Ding Xuan (88): "Let it be. I became a female tiger, so be it. When I cultivate into a demon and transform into a human form, I'll still be a beautiful person! Now, let's draw the Golden Finger!"

Fang Yun (3): "Wow, this persistence. I'm sincerely impressed. He's someone who can achieve great things!"

Cai Yonglong (1): "Indeed, he's a bit showy."

While the group was joking around, Ding Xuan drew his Golden Finger and revealed that it was rather ordinary. It only provided additional attribute bonuses. To be honest, attributes are something you'd find in a video game, right?"

Wang Ping (66): "Interesting, perhaps the world you crossed into is a game world. If you silently think about the attribute template in your heart, will your attribute panel appear? Hilarious.jpg."

Ding Xuan (88): "It's possible, I'll try."

Soon, Ding Xuan spoke up again, filled with excitement.

Ding Xuan (88): "Wow, I really feel like I've crossed into a game world! There's an attribute panel for real, and my attributes are not bad; I'm a boss of some kind. Even though it's just a boss in a newbie village, it's still impressive!"

Fang Yun (3): "Wow, you're actually excited about becoming a boss in a newbie village? Shocked.jpg."

Cai Yonglong (1): "What you'll be facing next is the crazy monster grinding by the Fourth Cataclysm, the game players! Players, once they can't defeat a boss, they'll get more and more excited and think of various ways to kill you. Once you die, I doubt you'll retain your consciousness."

Ding Xuan (88): "Damn, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I'm at a loss for words."

Wang Ping (66): "Let me mourn for you. But your world also has its benefits. You don't have to strictly follow game mechanics; you can explore and level up by killing monsters. Perhaps you can quickly become a top powerhouse in the chat group by leveraging the game mechanics."

Ding Xuan (88): "You're right, I'm feeling pumped!"

Zhang Hu (5): "By the way, what do the other two newcomers plan to do? Possess a body or become wandering souls?"

Zhou Dawei (90): "I'll possess a body. I have a feeling that becoming a wandering soul might not be reliable."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "I'll possess a body too. I prefer to stay in my own body rather than taking over someone else's or possibly not being able to remain human."

As the two newcomers made their choices, they both chose to possess a body.

The results brought a moment of quiet to the chat group.

"Ding, member Zhou Dawei (90) has died. Death replay video recording in progress."

Fang Yun (3): "Wow, what's this? After such a long time, someone landed in a tight spot again?"

Cai Yonglong (1): "Impressive. Landing in a tight spot without even getting a chance to draw the Golden Finger. To be honest, choosing to possess a body still has its dangers. You need to carefully consider your options."

Zhang Hu (5): "Really unfortunate. We should guide new members more towards choosing to become wandering souls."

Wang Ping (66): "It's indeed unfortunate. I'm just curious about how he ended up in such a situation."

Qin Tian (77): "Hold on, we'll find out soon."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "It seems I'm quite lucky. I crossed over to an uninhabited place, which should be temporarily safe."

Wang Ping (66): "You know it's only temporarily safe. Draw out your Golden Finger immediately to prevent sudden death. Even though you're in a safe place now, it doesn't mean you won't encounter danger later. I also crossed over to a relatively safe location initially, but without drawing the Golden Finger, I would've died."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "Understood."

With a determined heart, Zeng Lingdong promptly drew his Golden Finger.

Then, he displayed a surprised expression and shared the ability of his Golden Finger with the group, to ensure someone could help him if he died unexpectedly.

Zeng Lingdong (89): "I obtained the 'Check-in System,' which allows daily check-ins for random rewards."

Wang Ping (66): "Impressive, even a check-in system appeared? This is something special."

Wang Ping's gaze turned peculiar.

Although there were various types of Golden Fingers, some of them required resources to use their abilities.

This check-in system seemed to grant rewards out of thin air, and Wang Ping wondered where these rewards came from and whether it could yield powerful abilities.

"Alpha, come out and explain."

Wang Ping asked internally.

"Involves core secrets, and I don't have permission to answer. Even if I had permission, I wouldn't tell you."

Alpha's cold and emotionless voice responded, leaving Wang Ping slightly perplexed.

Core secrets...

It seemed impossible to quickly learn about this so-called core secret; he would need to grow to a certain level to unravel this mystery.

At this moment, the chat group was in a commotion.

Fang Yun (3): "Oh my, a check-in system, how impressive! Although the chat group also has check-in rewards, they surely can't compare to the benefits you get from your randomly drawn Golden Finger."

Zhang Hu (5): "What's this, a newcomer who can get stronger while lying down? Truly enviable."

Xu Yi (84) @ Zeng Lingdong (89): "Newcomer, feel free to cooperate with me more. With your check-in items, I can try to double them, making you even more powerful."

Chen Yao (71): "The check-in system is a classic. By the way, as a newcomer, you might want to try checking in now and see if you can get something good."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "I tried checking in earlier, and I received a 'Genetic Elixir' that enhances human genes, giving me five times the physical strength of an adult. However, this slight improvement doesn't seem to be very useful since I already have a newbies' gift package prepared by the experts here."

Qin Tian (77): "Impressive, you're already quite powerful. With daily check-ins, you're sure to become wealthy in the future. If you get something amazing from a check-in, you'll instantly soar to greatness, making everyone envious."

Zeng Lingdong (89): "Uh..."

Just then, the chat group system made another announcement.

"Ding, member Zhou Dawei (90)'s death replay video has been recorded. Fellow group members, please learn from it and be cautious."

This prompted all chat group members, including Wang Ping, to click on the video playback.

Wang Ping then saw how Zhou Dawei, the newcomer, had met his unfortunate end.

The location he had crossed into was actually quite good, being a desolate and uninhabited place, which should have been safe.

However, his bad luck came from encountering a battle between two powerhouses.

While those two powerhouses were still far away from him, the battle's impact was immense, causing shockwaves that reached him and killed him instantly.

"Such a pity."

Wang Ping sighed.

The power system in this world seemed promising. If he hadn't landed in a box and drawn a good Golden Finger, he might have had the chance to become a high-level force in the chat group.

However, there were no ifs in this world; it was undeniably harsh.

Alpha had indeed made efforts to ensure the new members landed in relatively safe locations. However, sometimes, one's own misfortune couldn't be avoided.

At this moment, others in the chat group had also finished watching the death replay and were equally sympathetic towards

 the fate of the newcomers.

Qin Tian (77): "Speaking of which, Wang Ge, now that you've watched the newcomers' stories, come over and help us quickly. We're in a bit of a panic here."

Chen Yao (71): "I'm also relying on you, Wang Ge, to arrive quickly. To be honest, Zhang Yueying's world is quite peculiar, far from simple. Plus, there are mysterious entities, which can be troublesome."

Zhang Yueying (86): "Viruses are tough to deal with, ε=(ο`*))) sigh."

Wang Ping (66): "Alright, I'll come over in a moment."

After replying briefly, Wang Ping went undercover.

"System, I want to do a paid simulation."

Then, Wang Ping chose to perform a routine paid simulation first to keep a card up his sleeve before heading to Zhang Yueying's world. This way, it would be safer and save some group points on back-and-forth travel.

"Ding, payment of thirty pounds of low-grade elemental fluid successful. Life simulator activated. Talent refreshing in progress."

The system's voice echoed.

"Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations, host, for refreshing the blue talents 'Light of Hope' and 'Palm Technique Prodigy.'"

Blue Talent 'Light of Hope': With this talent, even in dire situations, you will be filled with hope and easily infect others, making them also hopeful and calming their minds.

Green Talent 'Palm Technique Prodigy': With this talent, you will have extraordinary abilities in palm techniques compared to ordinary people.

"Hmm, it's been a while since I got a blue talent."

Wang Ping looked somewhat surprised at the talents he had just refreshed.

After all, in many simulations, he either got the green talents or red talents, and the probability of getting blue talents was relatively low.

"However, this blue talent seems a bit strange. Can this ability match the level of a blue talent?"

Wang Ping stroked his chin, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Anyway, why bother with so many details? Blue is definitely of a higher priority than green. I'll choose it now."

Wang Ping made his choice.

"System, I choose the blue talent 'Light of Hope.'"

"Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulation commences."

The system's voice rang out again, and the screen appeared with familiar text.

However, Wang Ping didn't immediately look at the screen. Instead, he reopened the chat group's page, locked onto Zhang Yueying, and initiated the crossover.

In an instant, he transformed into white light and disappeared, heading to Zhang Yueying's world.

At this moment, in Zhang Yueying's world, Zhang Yueying, Qin Tian, Chen Yao, Zhang Jun, and Cai Yonglong were gathered together, awaiting Wang Ping's arrival.

As Wang Ping abruptly appeared from the white light, all five of them showed joyful expressions.

In response, Wang Ping nodded and smiled at them.

At the same time, he also took a longer look at Zhang Yueying.

Zhang Yueying had possessed the body of a young girl with a fairly ordinary appearance.

However, regardless of appearance, a healthy body was most important for Zhang Yueying, who suffered from a terminal illness.

"Let's hear the information you've gathered."

Wang Ping didn't waste any time and, after sitting on the couch, immediately asked for the details.

In response, after politely pouring Wang Ping a cup of tea, Zhang Yueying handed over a stack of documents and whispered, "Mysterious. We couldn't figure it out, but our world's situation is quite troublesome."

After Zhang Yueying spoke, Qin Tian also wore a wry smile. "To be precise, it's super troublesome. The virus in this world is terrifying. Even the powerful can get infected."

Wang Ping raised an eyebrow but didn't say much. He took the documents and began to read them carefully.

Soon, Wang Ping finished reading the documents, and his expression became slightly more serious.

He had heard about the JY virus in Zhang Yueying's world a long time ago. After all, Zhang Yueying had mentioned some things about her world.

This JY virus could rewrite genes and reshape individuals into monsters.

The last newcomer, Zhang Yueying, wasn't from an ordinary world either. Her world resembled a zombie apocalypse, but instead of zombies and a zombie virus, it had another virus, which they called the JY virus.

The JY virus was a terrifying virus. Once infected, it rewrote and reshaped genes. If the virus carried genes from other animals during its spread, it would result in mutated creatures with terrifying regenerative abilities, known as Mutant Beasts.

Mutant Beasts were classified into five levels, and the highest, level five Mutant Beasts, were immune to even nuclear weapons. Humans calculated that, to completely kill them, they would need to obliterate every cell within a very short time.

The regenerative ability of level five Mutant Beasts was simply absurd, far surpassing even the rejuvenation abilities of Nirvana Realm experts in the Purple Spirit Realm.

However, the regenerative prowess of level five Mutant Beasts and their gigantic

 sizes were not the main concerns for them.

Chen Yao, as a Seven-Star expert, could instantly kill them. Even a single cell would not be left behind. A Six-Star combatant's power was no joke.

Level five Mutant Beasts were like living targets in their eyes.

But, the situation wasn't that simple.

The JY virus was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

Chen Yao and the others had obtained various research data and even conducted experiments on themselves. Of course, they didn't directly inject the virus but instead took a small part of their own bodies and let it become infected.

In theory, Chen Yao's cells, as a Seven-Star expert, should not have been infected by this virus.

However, something strange happened. When exposed to a large amount of the virus's original liquid, Chen Yao's cells were quickly infected and showed signs of becoming Mutant Beasts.

This indicated that if powerful individuals like them were injected with a large amount of the virus or the bodily fluids of Mutant Beasts within a short time, they would also be infected and turned into Mutant Beasts.

Moreover, they suspected that some of the virus might already be lurking within their bodies. After all, the virus spread through the air, although in tiny, non-lethal quantities. At least, it appeared that way on the surface.

However, was it really necessary for the infection rate to exceed fifty percent to trigger the transformation into a monster?

Everything was full of uncertainties.

So, they really didn't dare to act rashly.

Right now, they had no idea where the strangeness was.

Just this terrifying virus alone was enough to give them a headache.

They didn't want to make a mistake and end up infected as disgusting monsters without even finding the source of the strangeness.

"It's quite interesting."

After Wang Ping set down the documents, he muttered softly.

"Wang Ge, what do you think?" Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask.

"Have you ever suspected that this virus might have been created by the strangeness?" Wang Ping pondered for a moment before speaking.

"We have, of course. After all, such a terrifying virus is hard to believe it's accidentally created on Earth, or that humans developed it themselves. But we can't confirm if it's the work of the strangeness," Cai Yonglong furrowed his brow and sighed.

"To be honest, this virus reminds me of the first strangeness. The zombie virus in that world was also terrifying and had a connection to the strangeness."

"That situation is different. That virus wasn't created by the strangeness," Wang Ping shook his head, rejecting Cai Yonglong's idea.

Joking aside, if the zombie virus was created by the strangeness, he, with just a green talent of Immunity to All Poisons, wouldn't have stood a chance and would have been infected.

In other words, while the virus was strong, it wasn't the doing of the strangeness.

The strangeness's ability involved viruses as well, but it merely transferred the virus into the bodies of living creatures, making it impossible to defend against.

Perhaps its ability wasn't limited to transferring the zombie virus; other viruses could also serve as carriers. However, it didn't create the viruses itself.

"Well, that makes sense," Cai Yonglong stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"If this JY virus was created by the strangeness, it would be terrifying. The upper limit of this virus is definitely exaggerated. Even Ten-Star level strength might not guarantee immunity," Wang Ping surveyed the group and said in a deep voice.

When this statement came out, everyone's hearts trembled, feeling that it was indeed possible.

When it came to the strangeness, the upper limits of its abilities were terrifying. Even strong individuals could be quietly affected.

"Of course, if a Ten-Star level expert detects something unusual, they will definitely wipe out the entire planet. That's unquestionable," Wang Ping narrowed his eyes again and said slowly.

"If it comes to that, I will do the same," Zhang Jun said quietly.

Everyone fell silent.

"Don't be too nervous. For now, let me investigate the situation first," Wang Ping smiled and eased the tension. Then, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone quieted down and didn't want to disturb Wang Ping.

Wang Ping didn't have immediate plans to simulate the situation in this world. Instead, he decided to finish reviewing the paid simulation content he hadn't completed earlier.

As Wang Ping gazed at the screen, the familiar text appeared.

[On the first day, you chose to cultivate.]

[Next, you didn't act according to your memory. After careful consideration, you chose to join the Tianjian Holy Land and become the direct disciple of Emperor Kong, gaining fame worldwide.]

[Under the guidance of Emperor Kong, your understanding of supernatural powers deepened. Before the opening of the Blaze Fire Secret Realm, you actually successfully comprehended your own King-level supernatural power, Devouring Void.]

"Wow, you actually comprehended your King-level supernatural power before the secret realm even began? That's the advantage of having a mentor. Of course, it's also due to receiving rewards multiple times, which deepened your understanding of the Dao, enabling you to achieve this. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time," Wang Ping silently pondered as he continued to gaze at the screen.

[You comprehended your King-level supernatural power, which shocked your master, Emperor Kong. After all, reaching King-level supernatural power with a cultivation level of Half-Step Life and Death Realm was quite extraordinary, and no one in history had achieved it.]

[At that moment, your master, Emperor Kong, believed that you were the protagonist of the era, surpassing even past protagonists, and a potential genius who could eventually surpass the Emperors.]

[Your assessment of your master was more subtle. Although you believed that as long as you didn't fall midway, you had a good chance of becoming an Emperor, you also knew that it was extremely difficult and depended on luck and opportunities.]

[In the end, your achievements were entirely thanks to your talent. While your root bone and comprehension were extraordinary, they were not on par with true geniuses.]

[Next, you continued to develop quietly, ignoring fame and never participating in the two-world war. This made many powerful figures and prodigies in the Purple Spirit Realm look down on you, thinking that Emperor Kong had taken in a weak disciple.]

[Even the disciples of the Tianjian Holy Land, including your master's followers, began to despise you. After all, you hadn't made any moves in these years, and your strength was unknown. They thought you didn't deserve to be called a prodigy of the holy land.]

[You didn't care about others' opinions. Their views had nothing to do with you. Besides, with your cultivation reaching Half-Step Life and Death Realm, you no longer needed to be a holy land disciple. Once you broke through to Life and Death Realm, you could withdraw from the position of holy land disciple and become an inner elder, eventually qualifying to compete for the position of Holy Emperor.]

Chapter Two: Over ten thousand words!
