"The last time you were threatened by the Dongwu City Lord, without his constraints, Charles’s growth was much faster than you imagined."

Han Buna closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the arrogance and indifference in her eyes had disappeared. She was clearly a Tier Four Legendary, clearly much stronger than Pu Sheng.

But at this moment, she showed a trace of vulnerability: "Pu Sheng, you must help me, we were once so close."

Pu Sheng smiled: "Of course, otherwise why would I be here."

He glanced at the sky, a smile appearing on his face: "Let’s go, perhaps you can’t collaborate with the Ancient Gods, but you can help me deliver something to your God, let him... be the last to enter."

"Okay, everything will follow your lead...."

Their figures gradually faded, while in the shadows, Demacia widened his eyes as if he had heard something extraordinary.

The Sun Federation is doomed!

Doesn’t that mean the North American server is going to crash?

Should he inform the players over there?

But those players have been brainwashed by this game, each like a zealot, wouldn’t they just come over here and snatch resources?

Probably not, right? After all, what game could actually lead to one’s own demise?

While thinking, a task popped up on the panel, surprising Demacia a bit.

[Task: Secret.

Attribute: Special Task. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Task Description: You inadvertently learned some secrets about the Gods. Please relay the conversation between the Ancient God’s Favored and the Abyss Lord, word for word, to Mr. Baiyi.

Task Difficulty: Simple.

Task Reward: 30 Gold Coins, skill points +5, attribute points +5.

Introduction: The value of a secret depends mainly on who knows it.]

Demacia’s mood suddenly improved a bit, though somewhat disappointed about the journey of the past few months.

But there was nothing he could do; if he died, he could only resurrect in Dongwu City. He could only mark the point of login by logging off, not the resurrection point.

This is also the main reason restricting players from exploring the map.

He opened a chat with the Guard Brigade, and Demacia began discussing the video he recorded earlier with them.

It contained too much information, and he felt something strange, but couldn’t pinpoint where.

-----------------

Zero: [Player Demacia is calling, saying there is very important news.]

Baiyi: [Let them come to the City Lord’s Mansion.]

Baiyi responded, stood up, and walked out of the Knowledge Hall.

He started browsing the player forum and quickly found something related to Demacia, was it... the Crimson Divine Favored?

At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, Demacia was already waiting there, alone this time.

"Let’s talk inside."

Baiyi led Demacia into the City Lord’s Mansion, into the usual guest room, and had Demacia sit, then Baiyi enveloped the room with his vast Spiritual Power before asking, "What’s the matter?"

Although there’s unlikely to be any danger in Dongwu City, it’s always better to be cautious, especially when it involves the Ancient Gods. The more one understands about the Gods, the more one realizes the terrifying nature of the Ancient Gods.

The Plane Gods need to be recognized by the plane, like the Devil’s Rule of Hell, the Abyssal Consciousness of the Abyss, the Necromancy Law of the Undead.

The New Gods require more things: a Divine Format, Faith, igniting the Divine Fire, establishing a Divine Kingdom and a system of Faith to be called a God.

And the Ancient Gods? At their birth, they were just mortals, but they never had any shackles and achieved becoming Ancient Gods all the way.

Moreover, the term "Ancient God" was a name given to them by the beings of the New God Era; they neither denied nor acknowledged it, instead continuing to refer to themselves as the Lord of so-and-so.

Therefore, Baiyi never relaxed in the face of the Ancient Gods.

"It’s like this, I inadvertently captured some things on video, which need to be handed over to Mr. Baiyi in person." Demacia took out a small chip from his pocket and handed it to Baiyi.

Baiyi took it, and threads of electric arcs appeared at his fingertips, with Zero rapidly absorbing its contents.

The moment everything was translated.

Baiyi’s fingertip exerted a slight force, crushing the chip into powder instantly.

A smile appeared on Baiyi’s face: "Mr. Demacia, sorry for breaking your chip; this information is very important. What reward would you like?"

Demacia felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head while looking at the task reward, and said: "Um, I’d like to consult about how long it takes for the Demon Swallowing Flower to mature from transformation. My summoned creatures have been dormant for half a year and haven’t woken up."

Baiyi thought for a moment: "Generally around thirty years."

Demacia: ...."Mr. Baiyi help me, I can’t afford to lose him for that long, can that be the reward this time, is that okay?"

Baiyi nodded, it was not difficult for him: "Sure, the most important attribute for plant beings is always life force, so as long as the life force is sufficient, their growth will accelerate."

Baiyi said, taking out a bottle of Source of Life: "What level is your summoned creature?"

Demacia answered without hesitation: "20."

Baiyi thought for a while, took out another bottle, opened the stopper of the Source of Life Potion, and poured in half a bottle of Source of Life.

Then, some transparent materials appeared in his hand, instantly turning into powder in his hand, and he sprinkled them into the bottle.

Gently shaking it.

Baiyi handed the new potion to him: "Drink this, and within five years, your summoned creature will complete its metamorphosis."

Demacia froze, his expression a bit bitter: "Five more years, huh..."

"That’s how the growth of plant beings is, they need more time to undergo metamorphosis, five years is already a safe limit, if less, their transformation will be incomplete, or... become deformed."

Baiyi calmly asked: "If you wish, I can also wake it up now."

Demacia:...

He hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, five years will be fine, goodbye Mr. Baiyi."

Demacia walked out with the potion, his face showing misery, subconsciously scanning it with the panel, then widening his eyes, seeing only question marks on the potion.

He was at the Bronze Upper Tier, which meant this had to be at least Golden Level!

His disappointment suddenly vanished, as he left the City Lord’s Mansion quickly in the strange gaze of onlookers, bouncing as he went.

Yet, Baiyi, still in that room, fell into silence; it was trouble, indeed trouble.

Pu Sheng, that guy seemed to be negotiating cooperation with the Crimson Divine Favored, but was actually there to convey some information to him.

The purpose was probably threefold, or rather, three obvious purposes were highlighted.

First, the growth of Charles is too fast and needs to be limited; otherwise, Pu Sheng might not survive an encounter with him.

Second, the Sun Federation is about to fall, which is detrimental to Pu Sheng’s goals, allowing Baiyi to attempt a rescue.

Third, find an opportunity to eliminate that Tier Four Legendary, thereby at least wounding the Lord of Scarlet.

A bit of a headache, when did Pu Sheng start playing these open conspiracies.

As for the Divine Envoy Era, Baiyi wasn’t very familiar; when he was still a player, version 3.0 hadn’t reached the Divine Envoy Era, and by the reckoning of his past life, perhaps this would be 4.0?

Baiyi pondered, actually, Pu Sheng saying this in front of players was also informing the Sun Federation’s Legendary; after all, it was no secret that players could communicate over distance.

If the Sun Federation was prepared, perhaps they could hold out longer.

As for going to the Sun Federation... that’s impossible.

Even though Dawn, due to Diane and the Official Letter, had already reached 9 top-level potential marks.

But this had nothing to do with the Federation’s safety; in Dongwu City, he possessed all the conditions necessary for an Alchemist’s development, with no reason to sacrifice oneself for others.

As for killing that Tier Four Legendary... just to weaken an Ancient God...

The Ancient Gods are indeed powerful, but not powerful enough.

He needed to wait, wait for the Level 70 advanced missions to be completed, and for the Divine Abomination to emerge.

He believed Pu Sheng, that guy, would provide the reward he wanted, perhaps, after he was ready, through... players informing him...

However.

Zero began contacting the Guard Brigade, Baiyi needed him to get in touch with the Legend of the Sun Federation, as he had some knowledge to share with them.

This was his last mercy toward the Sun Federation.

At the same time, one of his special skill points was directly put into the Sun Salutation.

The upgraded Sun Salutation, hoping Charles would like it.
