Chapter 676: Card: Agent of Two Realms
All around was mist.
As Wu Xiaode descended, threads of white mist condensed out of thin air, forming several small words:
"Master of Ning Shen Temple, you have arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Palace."
"Please proceed to the east wing to find the induction card."
"It is inserted on the screen."
After Wu Xiaode read them, these small words quickly dissipated, as if they had never existed.
——It seems that because of my skin and identity, I have such treatment.
Wu Xiaode hurried towards the east wing, taking the time to read the newly evolved prompt rune from the Evil Spirit Book as he ran:
"The current 'Wall of Sighs' has completed its evolution."
"Draw from the depths of your soul for the drive of evolution beyond your style, ultimately discovering that your power source is 'anger'."
"Resonate with the endless malice of the final abyss through 'anger', evolving your 'Wall of Sighs' to gain a new fundamental Death Ability:"
"Wall of Endless Malice."
"Description: All skills and items placed on this wall of magic will possess the dual emergence of 'anger' and 'malice', stepping into the realm of the mysterious."
"Currently transformed skill:"
"Dragon Snake (Fist)."
"This skill has been advanced to a mysterious skill through the dual emergence of 'anger' and 'malice':"
"Mad·Dragon Snake."
"This fist technique is indescribable; you will know once it's used."
"——Don't force me to go mad."
"To further ascend or transform other skills or items, you need to 'integrate' aspiration, Soul Power, Merit or wealth, life, soul, knowledge, skills, and other valuable things."
"Note, it's 'integrate', not 'sacrifice'."
"The qualities of the integrated items will be absorbed by the Wall of Endless Malice, thus changing your Death Skill and all powers."
After reading all the small words.
By this time, Wu Xiaode had entered a place of broken walls and ruins.
It seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, with everything broken to pieces, scattered everywhere.
Only half of the screen remained intact, quietly placed in the center of the wing.
Four figures stood in front of the screen.
Augustine had just pulled that card from the screen and looked back at Wu Xiaode.
"You're late, slave of the sequence," he said.
"I'm not a slave of the sequence, after all, it sent someone to kill me," Wu Xiaode replied.
Augustine quickly put away the card and continued, saying:
"Thanks to the internal strife among you mysterious beings, this powerful card finally fell into the hands of us humans."
"Humans will certainly prevail over you."
Poison Mage Bird stood aside and directly tore open a sealed parchment.
The space fluctuated.
All four were teleported away.
Leaving only Wu Xiaode standing alone.
He waited a while longer.
Suddenly.
A trace of golden light flashed across the damaged screen.
The card quietly reappeared on the screen, gently inserted there without moving.
——Sure enough, it can't be taken without an identity.
Wu Xiaode took a few steps forward, pulled out the card, and held it in his hand to examine it closely.
This card was adorned with floating peach blossoms, very beautiful, but aside from the peach blossom pattern, it had nothing else on the front and back.
However, after holding the card for a while, the front of the card revealed the large flamboyant characters "Kunlun Mountain", quickly followed by several lines of prompt runes below:
"Please choose your identity:"
"1. Master of Ning Shen Temple;"
"2. Become a Two Worlds Official with awakened Death Skill, leaving no trace of how you obtained this card, but you can exercise your divine duties in secret."
"If you have defeated all enemies, select 1; if the situation is dangerous, select 2."
Does this even need asking?
The entire Pangu World is shrouded by the nine sequences, not a single disturbance escapes the notice of the nine sequences——
In a few days, the god pillars summoning the Mysterious World will be established.
Under such circumstances, how can I dare to expose my divine duties?
Wu Xiaode directly chose 2.
The card gently tugged and flipped to the back.
The once blank card gradually revealed a bright red official robe.
Lines of small words appeared beside the official robe:
"Two Worlds People: Netherworld Ritual Officer."
"Description: Possesses the authority to handle Netherworld affairs, and can summon spirits to assist in completing tasks when needed."
"This is a divine position responsible for handling some of the daily consultations and receptions of the Netherworld, and can freely travel between the realm of the living and the underworld."
"——Though it seems unimpressive, it is indeed a card in the Pangu Card Set."
The card gently flashed and appeared directly on the Evil Spirit Book.
Got it!
Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, about to leave this wing, but caught a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye.
He couldn't help but look back at the screen.
Only to see another card gently falling, inserted into the screen.
What!
Could it be——
Wu Xiaode looked towards the Evil Spirit Book, only to see that the "Netherworld Ritual Officer" card was comfortably adhering to the book page.
What's going on?
Perhaps knowing what he was thinking, two lines of small text suddenly appeared on that card:
"Everyone with a Pangu profession is eligible to receive this 'Two Worlds People,' and through it, obtain their profession in the Netherworld."
"It is the starting card of the Pangu Card Set, not unique."
Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as I don't lose my card!
Come to think of it, no wonder the Pangu World wants everyone to strive to improve their skins.
Skin is the profession.
It's the starting point to gain Pangu Power!
Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and then took the "Two Worlds People · Netherworld Ritual Officer" card off the book.
Now, I have to use this card to go to the Netherworld.
Perhaps the second card of the Pangu Card Set is in the Netherworld.
He took a deep breath and was about to activate the card when a sudden change occurred—
A female voice echoed in the void not far away:
"You got that card?"
Wu Xiaode looked towards the voice.
Sarina stood at the entrance of the side hall, with a surprised look on her face, her fiery gaze fixed on the card in Wu Xiaode's hand.
"Yeah, didn't you all get one too?" Wu Xiaode said with a smile.
"For some reason, the card we got disappeared."
Sarina looked at the blank golden card on the screen and then at the "Two Worlds People" card in Wu Xiaode's hand, pondering for a few moments, and said:
"So it's the starting card of the set, but why can't we obtain it?"
She gestured with her hand.
The blank card on the screen flew over and landed in her hand.
But in a short while, the card disappeared again and reappeared on the screen.
Sarina looked at Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode, however, put the card back in the Evil Spirit Book, folded his arms, and tilted his head to look at her.
"You must have some special trick to get this starting card."
Sarina said.
"That's right." Wu Xiaode admitted.
"Reveal that secret." Sarina said.
Wu Xiaode put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "I'm just an ordinary loader under the Jiuyao Sequence, not under your jurisdiction—I remember you always avoiding trouble, afraid of attracting the Jiuyao Sequence."
"So this is my gain, no need to tell you."
Sarina nodded, expressionless, "You're indeed not under my jurisdiction, I'll communicate this with Jiuyao right away."
She pressed her hand against the void, and a multitude of prompt runes suddenly appeared around.
After a few moments.
A line of glowing small text suddenly appeared in the void:
"Current sequence holder, former Holy Demon Lord, this sequence demands you inform Sarina of the Pangu Card Set acquisition."
Wu Xiaode glanced at it, unimpressed, "Who gives you such authority?"
Another line of glowing small text appeared:
"If you do not obey this sequence's command, you will be immediately kicked out of the sequence and will never again obtain sequence power!"
Wu Xiaode clapped his hands and laughed, "I've tolerated you for long, come on, kick me—if you don't, you're a coward."
After a moment, three lines of glowing small text appeared:
"You have been kicked out of the sequence, and no sequence will ever load on you again."
"Moreover, you will face the joint pursuit of the nine sequences."
"You will have nowhere to hide."
Wu Xiaode raised his hand and gave the glowing text the middle finger.
"Nowhere to hide?"
"You'll never get the secret of the Pangu Card Set, and I will freely go to its secret location."
After finishing this sentence, he immediately activated the card.
"Wait!"
Sarina shouted urgently.
But it was too late, Wu Xiaode had already disappeared from the side hall with a swish.
Only the "Hermit" Sarina remained here.
She stood there, her expression changing, finally speaking:
"Is this how you interact with your subordinates? How could you be so foolish?"
"Watch your tone." A line of glowing small text said.
Sarina laughed angrily.
"You took away the task reward that belonged to him multiple times and gave Festos a chance to kill him. If I were him, I wouldn't tell you the secret either."
Finishing, she reached out and continuously summoned in the void.
Momentarily.
The prompt runes of other sequences appeared in succession.
"Jiuyao messed up, causing us to lose an extremely important mysterious life."
Sarina looked around at all the sequences and continued:
"I'm willing to offer rich terms to exchange for his intelligence."
"Which sequence beast is willing to help me accomplish this task?"
Not waiting for feedback from other sequences, another line of glowing small text appeared:
"No need for other sequences to intervene, I will retrieve his soul along with his intelligence together."
"My subordinates have this capability."
