Chapter 494: The White-Faced One Who Seizes Destiny

The next morning, sunlight bathed the golden manor, and Bai Cangshu suddenly opened his eyes; a Recording Pointer appeared in his hand.

The pointer was now completely upright, a sign that it was nearing the point of usability.

With a thought, Bai Cangshu's figure vanished, and upon opening his eyes again, he had returned to his familiar Private Space.

Now that Tao Baibai had returned to the Shanty Town, he was treated like a major celebrity; almost all low-to-mid-tier Reincarnators were observing him.

Previously, an "Intelligence war" had occurred in the Public Space centered almost entirely around Tao Baibai, involving over a dozen well-known Information Brokers.

Information Brokers with growing reputations like Black Butler, Jin Ruohai, and Wumian had all entered the fray; some were concealing information, while others were leaking it.

But without exception, it was all related to Tao Baibai.

At this very moment, even the most obtuse person realized that someone was targeting Tao Baibai, targeting this powerful Reincarnator who had seemed to have such smooth sailing all along.

And the existence of the so-called 【Kill White Alliance】 was also considered real by many, following the spread of various rumors.

It was just that no one could say for sure who the confirmed members were.

Therefore, at this moment, the gazes these Reincarnators cast toward Tao Baibai were quite strange.

When Bai Cangshu arrived at his Stall, a young girl with dark green twin tails was sitting in mid-air above his Stall.

The surrounding Reincarnators were all sizing the other party up, yet none dared to make direct eye contact.

"Yo, Tao Baibai, you actually showed up?"

Kurushi was somewhat surprised, feeling that that guy Guidaozhang really did have some skills.

She looked Bai Cangshu up and down; despite the barrier of the space, even with any kind of ocular technique, she couldn't see anything at all.

But she just kept making tsk-tsk sounds while watching him.

Bai Cangshu had no time to waste; he merely glanced at the girl's white-bottomed, black-edged high-collared uniform and guessed she was likely a member of the 【Throne of Void and Reality】, and not a low-ranking one at that.

While he was thinking, the girl moved, revealing the casually written 【03】 mark on her chest.

03... Bai Cangshu remembered that the last one he encountered was 【98】; he roughly understood that the girl before him was a high-ranking member of the Throne of Void and Reality.

"Tsk tsk, hmm... I feel like you really are a decent guy."

The girl reached this conclusion, then raised her right hand.

An emerald-colored invitation appeared once more.

"How about it? Join our Throne of Void and Reality, Tao Baibai; the 【Emerald Battle Group】 is even more special than you think."

"Besides, having a powerhouse like me invite a newcomer should show enough sincerity, right~"

The girl was very narcissistic, but Tao Baibai didn't take the bait, only saying,

"Where is Guidaozhang? I still have something of mine with him."

Light flashed again in the girl's right hand, and a small dark purple orb appeared in her palm.

"Guidaozhang told me to give this to you."

Bai Cangshu reached out his right hand, but the girl suddenly pulled the modified Void Core back; she blinked her eyes and said crisply,

"If you don't join the Emerald Battle Group, I won't give this to you. How about that?"

Bai Cangshu didn't speak, but his expression turned completely cold; he looked at this woman indifferently, and then a cruel smile appeared.

"Ha~ that's the expression!"

"I really didn't misjudge you!"

The girl suddenly showed a look of pleasant surprise; she watched as Tao Baibai's ugly face unfolded bit by bit, and after the cruel smile appeared, the other party's dull eyes seemed to come alive.

That was the other party's true self.

【Reincarnator cc56799111 has initiated a trade with you】 【You have obtained item: Unsealed Void Core】

【Unsealed Void Core】

【Special Creation, Biological Colonization Armor, Spirit Seed】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless·Extreme】

【Description: A Void Core yet to be born, kneaded into a seed of power by the Great Will; it will have an irreversible effect on the Soul, and the outer core has been cracked.】

【Effect 1: Fused into any item, there is a probability of awakening Fullbring (probability is related to the holder's Spiritual Pressure).】

【Effect 2: Used directly as material at the Goddess to fuse into the soul, allowing one to possess Voidification traits.】

【Effect 3: Extremely low probability of birthing a new Spirit Seed creature.】

【Effect 4: If touched by any Spirit Body, it will devour the Spirit Body and be born as a Ghost.】

Bai Cangshu saw that after Guidaozhang cracked the outer shell of this Void Core, it was indeed more convenient to use.

But in essence, it still couldn't produce immediate results.

He was not a Reincarnator with Soul Reaper enhancements and could not fight directly using a Spirit Body; traits like Voidification could not directly enhance his combat power either.

So now, for him, this thing was either to be used to cultivate a so-called Spirit Seed creature, or... to be fused into some kind of item to pursue a Fullbring.

Bai Cangshu knew that with the soul power he currently possessed, awakening a Fullbring probably wouldn't be a difficult task.

But what kind of item should he fuse it into...

While Bai Cangshu was thinking, a snap sounded before his eyes.

The girl was short in stature, but she stood in mid-air, level with Bai Cangshu, and she spoke with a giggle,

"I advise you to join the Emerald Battle Group; those jackals outside are all staring at you..."

"The enemies aren't just the ones you see; in the places you can't see... they are all enemies, heh..."

The girl smiled and raised her right hand again.

【You have obtained item: Invitation (Special)】

Bai Cangshu took the item, but he didn't care about the girl's warning; from the very beginning, he had considered everyone an enemy, so naturally, he wouldn't care about such things.

He checked the quotes on the Stall, but most of the offers couldn't move him.

He didn't see any powerful materials or items like a 【Bodhi Leaf】, so he kept flipping through the pages.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on an item named 【Aghanim's Scepter】, and the other party wanted to use this thing to trade for the 【Surgery Fruit】 in his Stall.

Bai Cangshu's thoughts stirred, and watching the pointer begin to tremble, he sent a message to contact the other party.

——

Baimian was still sitting in the room, watching the countdown appear, and the smile at the corners of her mouth became increasingly obvious.

She already knew from other channels that Tao Baibai had returned to the Private Space, which meant that the beast would, in all likelihood, truly chase her into the mission world.

"Heh, interesting..."

"Tao Baibai, I hope you won't regret this~"

The next moment, Baimian transformed into a silvery-white stream of information and vanished into the pitch-black space.

Regaining consciousness, she had already appeared in a dark city.

Baimian raised her right hand, and a transparent light emerged from it.

It was as if countless illusory trajectories had appeared in the Heaven, and Baimian searched continuously until she finally found one of them; she leaped and plunged into it.

The next moment, Baimian felt herself become another person, experienced a lifetime, and finally, Baimian took out a set of black priest robes and draped them over herself.
