Chapter 221: The End Empire

When Bai Cangshu followed Luo Xi back to the East District Public Space, a massive change had already occurred here.

The sky above the entire East District had turned dim, with a pitch-black sun hanging in the air, replacing the original fake sun; under the dusky light, a large number of Reincarnators were gathered outside the Shanty Town and the four major basic institutions.

The density of Reincarnators was the highest Bai Cangshu had ever seen since becoming a Reincarnator.

Furthermore, he only needed to glance around casually to see quite a few individuals similar to Luo Xi, with various elemental energies dissipating from their bodies; those were likely all Title-level Reincarnators.

At this moment, even those Reincarnators possessing flight or levitation abilities had tacitly landed on the ground, leaving the sky area empty—that was a stage belonging exclusively to the 【Strongest】.

Luo Xi looked up at this magnificent scene and let out a cold laugh.

"A loser, actually going out of their way to do something like this, heh..."

Bai Cangshu guessed that Red Lotus Mage Luo Xi likely belonged to the faction of the other Strongest, 【Destiny of Dead Silence】, who was rumored to be in conflict with the 【End Sun】; because during the previous bidding, the Flame Demon under the 【End Sun】 had clearly wanted to disrupt the 【Rose Tiger】's plan.

These two factions were clearly divided, clashing and competing at every level.

At this moment in the sky, from top to bottom, nine Reincarnators were already standing, with the group arranged in a gradient, headed by the Reincarnator whose figure was shrouded within the pitch-black sun at the very top.

Every single one of them radiated an extremely intense sense of presence.

It was very clear that these were the confidants, or rather, the followers of that Strongest, 【End Sun】.

"Everyone, the era where Reincarnators are restricted by the laws, order, and rules of ordinary people is about to end."

A deep male voice rang out, and the air seemed to carry the scent of ash; Bai Cangshu felt a very familiar smell, and he looked into the sky, where countless pitch-black Cursed Energy and negative energy were entwined above that black sun.

"We are Reincarnators, we are Transcendent Creatures, we are evolutionaries, we are... higher-order existences."

The voice of End Sun was extremely magnetic, and the cadence of his speech carried a special rhythm that made one unable to help but want to agree.

Bai Cangshu saw that with just these two straightforward sentences, quite a few Reincarnators in the Shanty Town were already nodding in agreement.

"We should no longer be labeled with such hypocritical titles as 【Dangerous Grade】, 【Catastrophe Grade】, and 【Disaster Grade】; we... are the rulers!"

End Sun's voice gradually rose; Bai Cangshu didn't feel much about this, but many Second Tier Reincarnators agreed with it very strongly.

They controlled many energy-projection abilities, and once those abilities were witnessed, they would cause considerable trouble; at best, they would need to have a large amount of Dimension Points and Singularities confiscated by the Space to interfere with cognition, and at worst, the Reincarnator would be directly erased.

The Infinite Dimensional Space was, on one hand, intentionally releasing its own existence and influence bit by bit, while on the other hand, it would perform cognitive correction on excessive exposure.

Bai Cangshu guessed that there must be some kind of restriction within this.

End Sun's speech continued, and the surrounding Reincarnators were all spending their time remaining in the Public Space to listen to this 【Strongest】 speak.

"I am tired of the daily life of being looked at and dominated by mortals, I am tired of the suppression of being unable to use my abilities wantonly, so... starting from now, I will establish an empire belonging to us Reincarnators."

"There, there will be no mortals, no government, no surveillance; each of us will be able to fly and burrow, wantonly wielding the power that belongs to us!"

As the word "power" was spoken, the pitch-black sun suddenly brightened, and countless black rays shone down; Bai Cangshu saw the stone floor begin to turn pitch-black.

This was the first time he had seen a Reincarnator's ability cause such an impact on the space, and it was not the manifestation of affecting spatial rules like the Chosen Ones, but rather the tangible use of one's own ability to change the spatial terrain.

The dimension of power involved here was too high, and Bai Cangshu could not yet know it, but seeing that Luo Xi was no longer speaking either, he knew that at the very least, these ordinary Title-level Reincarnators could not do this.

Subsequently, the black sun began to dissipate, the sky above the space returned to normal, and many Information Brokers began to distribute more information regarding the 【End Empire】.

For example, the location was said to be on the Taipingyang, where multiple Title-level Reincarnators had joined forces to raise the crust and fill in soil out of thin air to create a huge island, exceeding 300,000 square kilometers, an island that did not exist on ordinary human nautical charts.

There were also rumors that the reason 【End Sun】 broke out in conflict with 【Destiny of Dead Silence】 was because 【End Sun】's original idea was to directly wipe out the entire Aozhou Dao and then build a nation on Aozhou Dao.

But this idea was learned of by the Strongest of the West District, 【Destiny of Dead Silence】, and the two had a long-standing conflict and war, leading to an abnormal rise in the mortality rate of mid-to-high-level Reincarnators.

It was eventually mediated by the leaders of the three major Gatherings: 【Blue Sky】, 【Throne of Void and Reality】, and 【Destiny】, and 【End Sun】 conceded, choosing the current island-building plan.

Correspondingly, 【Destiny of Dead Silence】 would no longer obstruct the establishment of this Reincarnator nation.

Just as these people were still discussing heatedly, Bai Cangshu had already obtained the Reincarnator number Luo Xi had mentioned, but after contacting the other party, there was no response; in all likelihood, they were not in the space at this time.

He then came to the 【Appraisal Office】; this time, the familiar fairy Appraisal Master was not here, and in their place was a tall, slender human male appraiser, who wore a gentle smile.

"Powerful Reincarnator, are there treasures that need to be appraised?"

Bai Cangshu took out the Devil Fruit obtained from the Pirate World and the Gourmet Cell opened from the Flame Demon at the same time.

"Oh my, oh my, this is truly a wonderful treasure containing the peculiar powers of two worlds; Reincarnator, you have astonishing 【Luck】."

Bai Cangshu shrugged his shoulders and did not respond; he was still thinking in his mind whether the establishment of the so-called 【End Empire】 would have any impact on him.

【Appraisal Master Lu is requesting 2 D-grade Singularities and 3000 Dimension Points from you to appraise the selected items; will you pay?】

【Pay】

Under Bai Cangshu's nonchalant gaze, purple radiance emanated from the appraiser's hands; the Devil Fruit and the Gourmet Cell flew up from Bai Cangshu's hands simultaneously, and then, amidst circles of light, countless mysterious symbols began to appear.

This was a special ability unique to the Magic Side; even without the 【Devil Fruit Illustrated Guide】, one could obtain true information through occult means.

"Alright, guest, both items are very valuable props."

This thin human male appraiser seemed to have a temperament that was a bit too gentle, and his speech also carried a warm tone that Bai Cangshu felt slightly unaccustomed to.

【You have obtained Devil Fruit (Rare and Peerless), Gourmet Cell - Blue (Rare and Peerless)】

【Devil Fruit】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless】

【Description: A sea treasure born from the Pirate World and its derivative worlds, containing the power of the Sea Demon】

【Effect: After consumption, gain the ability of the Paramecia-type Heart Fire Fruit】 (Obtained after the first bite; if consumed by multiple people, only the first person gains it)

Bai Cangshu saw the ability of this Devil Fruit and clicked his tongue; abilities linked to fire mostly received the evaluation of "xx Fruit, not even a dog would eat it."

Because the element of fire was simply too common.

This fruit was not the 【Nika Fruit】 Bai Cangshu had envisioned, but a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that had never appeared before; Bai Cangshu focused his gaze and discovered that this was a Devil Fruit related to the human heart and emotions.

The consumer could manipulate the emotions and thoughts of a target they touched and turn those emotions into fire to burn the target's mind, while their own emotions could also trigger the appearance of different fires.

This was a Paramecia-type fruit that, just looking at the description, could not be considered powerful; not to mention comparing it to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and other bug-tier fruits, it could not even compare to those Logia or Mythical Zoan types.

【Gourmet Cell - Blue】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless】

【Description: Special cells born from the Toriko and its derivative worlds, containing powerful strength】

【Effect 1: After use, it will activate the user's cells and strengthen the user's physical fitness】

【Effect 2: Gourmet Cells can increase their cell level by consuming specific ingredients, significantly enhancing cell strength and physical body strength.】

Bai Cangshu looked at the two items in his hands but did not rush to use them; instead, he returned to the Stall and hung both items up on the Stall, as this could attract more people to come to his Stall to sell his other items.

On the other hand, he could also see if he could trade for things more suitable for himself.

Subsequently, after setting a series of restrictions on Li Qingzi, he gave Li Qingzi a contact number, letting the March Conglomerate discuss the matter of investing in Paradise with the owner of the phone, before he exited the space.
