The elderly man who suddenly appeared was dressed in a robe, with hair as white as a crane''s feathers yet a youthful face.
In his hand, he held an unremarkable staff, resembling nothing more than a branch, devoid of any adornments.
Simply standing there, he exerted immense pressure on Su Mubai.
It felt like an ordinary person facing a vast ocean.
Boundless and unfathomable!
[Situ Ji]
Lord of East Sea City
Elder of the Palace of the Divine Dragon
Level: ???
HP: ???
(The highest-ranking person in East Sea City.)
"Greetings, Lord of the City."
Upon seeing Situ Ji''s information, Su Mubai quickly cupped his hands towards him.
This was the second NPC he encountered whose identity information was visible.
The previous one was Huai Jian.
But why would the dignified Lord of a city suddenly appear before him?
The Empire of the Divine Dragon consists of one Imperial Capital, ten Tier 1 main cities, eighty-one Tier 2 main cities, and one thousand and eighty Tier 3 cities.
Apart from the Imperial Capital, all Chinese players are distributed among these cities.
East Sea City is one of the ten Tier 1 main cities.
Situ Ji, as the Lord of East Sea City, obviously holds an incredibly high status.
Su Mubai was completely unfamiliar with his second identity.
There was no record of what the Palace of the Divine Dragon was in the Game of Myriad Worlds.
But he was certain that Situ Ji was terrifyingly strong!
From his earlier words, it was clear that he had come specifically to find him.
Was he attracted by the unsettling power when he opened the Death Codex?
A series of thoughts flashed through Su Mubai''s mind as he speculated on why the other had come.
Situ Ji said nothing more, merely sizing up Su Mubai, his face expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
After a long while, his gaze fell on the back of Su Mubai''s left hand, looking at the inscription formed by the Death Codex, and he nodded slightly, "Indeed, it is the power of death."
At the same time, Su Mubai felt the pressure on his body vanish, and he immediately felt at ease.
Situ Ji now seemed like an ordinary old man, no longer giving off that unfathomable aura.
"Lord of the City, what is the power of death?"
Su Mubai immediately followed up with a question.
"A force of law. You are too weak now; even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand."
Situ Ji shook his head with a smile, and the staff in his hand dissipated into specks of golden light.
Hearing this, Su Mubai was shocked.
A force of law?
He remembered clearly that before the Death Codex was promoted, the Book of Death was described in this way.
But now the Death Codex was clearly described as a book of rules!
It seemed Situ Ji hadn''t fully discerned all his information.
Thinking of this, Su Mubai was no longer as tense.
Some things brought by [Cataclysm] clearly exceeded the understanding of the Divine Forbidden Land.
"Little one, your appearance has indeed exceeded the expectations of us old folks."
"I don''t know whether to call you lucky or unfortunate."
Situ Ji gave Su Mubai a meaningful look and sighed slightly.
"Why do you say that?"
Su Mubai frowned slightly.
The other had said this when he first appeared, and now he repeated it.
"The fortunate thing is that you have changed jobs to a Lord-class profession, a profession that shouldn''t exist in the Divine Forbidden Land."
At this point, Situ Ji paused, shook his head, and continued, "Unfortunately, it''s the Lord of Death. When you take that step, it will be far more difficult than other Lord professions."
"That step?"
"For you, it''s still far away."
Situ Ji waved his hand, his voice gradually lowering as if talking to himself, "Perhaps there will be a turning point then?"
He then looked up at the sky, his gaze deep, as if the stars of the universe were reflected in his eyes.
Su Mubai looked up in confusion but only saw the setting sun.
"Little one, grow quickly; the time left for you Descendants is running out."
As his words fell, a white light of teleportation appeared, and Situ Ji''s figure vanished from where he stood.
His visit seemed solely to meet Su Mubai, doing nothing but saying a few inexplicable words.
No, after Situ Ji left, a rusty medal slowly floated where he had stood.
"What is this?"
Su Mubai looked at it with curiosity and reached out to grasp the medal.
The next moment, Situ Ji''s voice sounded directly in his ear.
"Little one, consider this my test. Through it, I will give you some information related to the Lord of Death."
[You have obtained the quest item "Medal of the Forgotten."]
[You have accepted the epic quest "Situ Ji''s Test."]
[Quest Content: Pass through the Land of the Forgotten and achieve 100% exploration.]
[Quest Reward: Unknown.]
[Failure Penalty: None.]
"Did I just get an epic quest for free?"
Looking at the rusty medal in his hand, Su Mubai was a bit surprised.
He still hadn''t figured out what Situ Ji wanted.
A profession that shouldn''t exist in the Divine Forbidden Land, does that mean there are other Lord professions in the Myriad Worlds?
The Lord of Death taking that step will be more difficult than other Lords?
"Heh, do other Lords have [Cataclysm]?"
Su Mubai raised an eyebrow, a gleam in his eye.
Though he was the Lord of Death, he had the additional Cataclysm trait.
Moreover, the Death Codex was a tier higher than the Lord of Death''s original exclusive equipment, the Book of Death.
Su Mubai was confident about the future.
He was only level 10, and his attributes were already this monstrous; he would only grow stronger.
Unknowingly, Su Mubai had already left other Blue Star players far behind, beginning to interact with the top experts of the Divine Forbidden Land.
His appearance, like a glitch, was destined to stir up a storm in the Divine Forbidden Land.
But Su Mubai was not yet aware of this.
His current goal was to first enhance his strength, then find that bitch couple and settle the score!
Whenever he thought of Liu Ruyan and Zhao Xu still being alive, Su Mubai felt uneasy.
"Other players entering the city will have to wait until tomorrow at least. If Liu Ruyan and Zhao Xu haven''t awakened advanced talents, it might take two or three days."
Thinking it over, Su Mubai looked at the medal in his hand.
"This time is just right to complete this quest."
[Medal of the Forgotten]
Quest Item
Use to teleport to the Land of the Forgotten.
(One-time use only, will auto-destroy in 4 minutes and 52 seconds.)
The description was simple, and the countdown kept ticking.
"No time to prepare?"
Su Mubai was slightly taken aback; he had planned to embed some gems.
Now it seemed there was no time; East Sea City was too large, and even by carriage, 4 minutes wouldn''t be enough.
With the previous experience of the Treasure Map, Su Mubai chose not to upgrade the [Medal of the Forgotten] for free.
Situ Ji''s test was to pass through the Land of the Forgotten.
Who knew where upgrading this thing would teleport him?
If upgrading caused the quest to fail, it would be a loss.
Su Mubai was quite interested in the information about the Lord of Death that Situ Ji mentioned.
After another glance at his attribute panel, Su Mubai focused his mind and activated the medal in his hand.
A white light of teleportation appeared, taking his figure away from the teleportation plaza of East Sea City.
The first player to arrive in East Sea City hadn''t even had a proper look at this bustling Tier 1 main city before leaving in a hurry.
