Chapter 4026: Price

The sunlight in Empress City wasn't bright, but at least there was sunlight. Just as Su Xiao stepped out of the Lin Yin Manor, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang appeared.

"Woof."

"Hmm, well done."

"Woof."

"No."

"Woof, woof!"

"..."

Su Xiao stopped walking. Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang immediately cowered. He couldn't help it; if he went back, he would really get hit with a slipper, and it would be Amu, under control, doing the hitting. That was truly painful.

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang had gone out this time to guide the survivors of the Ancient Longcheng from the southwest direction of the Corrupt Lake to Empress City. Lady Scorpion was naturally unwilling to do this; the Ancient Longcheng had fallen into such a state under her schemes.

Su Xiao didn't believe that Lady Scorpion would just turn from evil to good like this. This former Abyssal descendant, now an Abyssal-system powerhouse, must be plotting something in secret. For this, she could sacrifice the Empress City she had operated for so many years, just to buy enough time.

Su Xiao didn't care what the other party was plotting. These risks were within an acceptable range. Now, it was most important to avoid the Priest destroying the Shelter City, which would cause the progress of this world to end immediately. One had to know that until now, the whereabouts of the White Dragon Girl hadn't been found.

When asked about this, Lady Scorpion pushed everything onto Council Chairman: Ergubaya. But Su Xiao felt that this matter wasn't that simple. However, the "Ancient Dragon Camp's strongest freezing ability: Embrace of Winter" that protected the White Dragon Girl could be maintained for a month, so time was ample.

Returning to the Lord Train, Su Xiao steered the train to the 15th District of Empress City. The prosperity here was second only to District 0. Just as the train stopped in the woods in the backyard of the Wutong Manor bought by Baha, a figure wearing a black robe and a hood walked onto the train.

"The situation isn't good."

The person who came spoke directly, stating the situation in Shelter City: Doan.

"They two controlled the Shelter City?"

Su Xiao signaled the black-robed person not to be polite and sit wherever he wanted. The black-robed person, in a heavy mood, shook his head and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"When Doan faces danger, the Ancestral Spirits are our only reliance. For this, we can pay a lot—half of the residents' life force, the source life force of the current Supreme. But now, as the danger from the outside gradually disappears, the Ancestral Spirits have become shackles. They have begun to forbid the residents of the Shelter City from leaving Doan. I came to see you this time using an avatar reserved outside the city."

Having said this, the black-robed person took off his hood. This person was the Dark Bishop of the Shelter City, Charles.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Regarding the Ancestral Spirits of the Shelter City, he had guessed it when he approached the central Torch Tower earlier, because with the three Supremes—Charles, Afiya, and Zdenek—it was impossible to block the Dukain family. Not to mention anything else, the Beast Lord could fight the three of them alone without any problem.

Ultimately, their Supreme status was inherited from the previous generation of Supreme Guardians of the Shelter City. When they faced death, they also needed to pass on this power. This inherited power couldn't have 100% compatibility.

"So, you came to me to?"

Su Xiao was maintaining Checking Zhan Long Shan. He had given the Shelter City what it needed, but the Ancestral Spirits didn't care about these things and chose to cooperate with the Priest and the Soul Master.

"I came to express my apologies to you."

"Oh? Are you prepared to return the 【Flame Core】? If I remember correctly, that seems to be something I gave you."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Dark Bishop Charles swallowed the words he had prepared for a long time. It was true; this Law-Breaker had given them the 【Flame Core】 that could illuminate for two epochs without asking for anything in return as soon as he arrived at the Shelter City, and later created a stable food source for the Shelter City.

To this day, the main food source of the Shelter City was still the half-withered insect nest under the Dark Cathedral. But all of this was exchanged for shameful betrayal.

"Charles."

Su Xiao placed Checking Zhan Long Shan on the blade rack. In this meeting, he looked directly at Dark Bishop Charles for the first time.

"Are you prepared to persuade me to help you take back the Shelter City?"

"Yes."

Dark Bishop Charles didn't dare to look Su Xiao in the eye, but lowered his head and avoided his gaze.

"And then, betray me once again."

"This..."

Dark Bishop Charles wanted to answer firmly that he wouldn't, but he knew that the ones who truly called the shots in Shelter City: Doan were the Ancestral Spirits.

"Charles."

Su Xiao pulled a bottle of Elemental Fine Wine from a wine rack on the side. Amu set up two wine glasses. After Su Xiao poured himself a glass, he also poured one for Dark Bishop Charles opposite him. This made Charles feel a bit more relaxed. Having wine to drink meant they were still friends, and if they were still friends, there was something to talk about.

"Do you think I can slay Dukain?"

"Yes."

Charles's tone was very firm, not an agreement in negotiation or anything else, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that the Law-Breaker opposite him could defeat Dukain.

"This world has many Abyssal channels, but Abyssal channels can actually be closed. I sealed one on the Blazing Sun Star, and it succeeded."

Hearing this, Charles's gaze changed.

"You say, without the Abyssal descendants, and without the continued encroachment of Abyssal power, will Shelter City: Doan usher in the dawn light you crave?"

Su Xiao's words made Charles's face start to look bad. He wanted to argue something, but couldn't say anything. Finally, he picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, exhaled a breath of wine, and said:

"The Ancestral Spirits have protected us for a long time. Doan has been able to exist to this day because of the protection of the Ancestral Spirits."

"Oh? Then how do you view the Ancestral Spirits?"

"The soul aggregation of our Doan Supreme Guardians."

"Is that so?"

Su Xiao poured a full glass for Charles with a smile and said:

"In your opinion, do I understand the Abyss?"

"Very, very well. Your understanding of the Abyss is not something anyone in the Shelter City can compare to."

After Charles finished speaking, he glanced at Amu standing on the side.

"Maybe it's my shallow knowledge, but in my cognition, aggregated soul power, after being nourished by the Abyss, would actually protect living beings."

As soon as this was said, Charles's face changed slightly. Actually, not only Charles, but Exploration Captain Afiya and Pain Priest Zdenek had also suspected why the Ancestral Spirits had such heavy Abyssal aura. After the three discussed in secret, they concluded it was the Abyssal encroachment environment of this world that caused the Ancestral Spirits to be like this.

Actually, all three had another answer in their hearts: the so-called Ancestral Spirits were the soul power of generations of Supreme Guardians gathered together, and after being continuously nourished and enhanced by Abyssal power, this powerful yet unstable source of power needed a sufficiently stable stabilizer. In the entire Astral Realm, Source Life Force was one of the few high-tier energies that were stable enough.

A fact was placed before them: even if the Abyssal descendants of this world were slain and the encroachment of the Abyss stopped, what Shelter City: Doan had to face was the Ancestral Spirits that had always protected them. Looking at it from another angle, saying that the Ancestral Spirits had always been farming the residents of the Shelter City was also acceptable.

Without the residents of the Shelter City providing Source Life Force generation after generation, the Ancestral Spirits would have long ago twisted into soul monsters. And every few decades, the Supreme power of Shelter City: Doan would undergo inheritance. The Supremes who lost their power would walk into the bottom of the central Torch Tower.

Nominally, it was joining the Ancestral Spirits and becoming one of the many spirits. If one thought about it darkly, these powerful souls were not joining the spirits at all; the consciousness of the Ancestral Spirits was only one, and every time a powerful soul entered the bottom of the tower, it was swallowed by it to strengthen itself.

One might ask, why could the Soul Master easily reach cooperation with the Ancestral Spirits? Because they were of the same kind. The Soul Master obtained power by devouring others' souls, and the Ancestral Spirits did the same.

When Su Xiao came to this world and defeated the Beast Lord, there was one person in the Shelter City who saw the opportunity to turn the tables. That person was the current City Lord of the Shelter City: Vaughn. Unfortunately, Vaughn hadn't come to have a secret talk with Su Xiao before being killed by the Priest and the Soul Master, and the Soul Master replaced him.

"Even if what you say is true, with the current strength of the Ancestral Spirits, I am not an opponent, and perhaps neither are you. And it has carefully cultivated the 'Soul God Tree,' which is about to bear fruit. With that fruit, it will be even more invincible."

"The environment of this world cannot produce a 'Soul God Tree'..."

Just as Su Xiao said this, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "The Shelter City was built on the ruins of the Dawn Empire?"

"This... how did you know?"

Dark Bishop Charles was slightly shocked.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. If the Shelter City was built on the ruins of the Dawn Empire, a "Soul God Tree" was truly possible. After all, the Dawn Empire was one of the legacies established by humans and giants inheriting the Ancient Dragons.

If the current central Torch Tower was the ancestral land of the ancient dragons of the past, and the departed ancient dragons were buried here, then beneath this land, a large amount of complex but huge original soul stones would be formed.

In such a situation, after the brewing of time, planting a "Soul God Tree" on it, that "Soul God Tree" could truly grow and thrive.

Generally, a "Soul God Tree" would bear fruit once every thousand years. After bearing fruit, it would wither and die. The skin and flesh of this fruit were the main material for the top-tier "Soul Enhancement Secret Medicine," and the core part could be planted again to grow a "Soul God Tree" in a suitable environment.

This harsh continuation method meant that the number of "Soul God Trees" in the Astral Realm might not even be a few dozen.

Su Xiao truly didn't count on being able to obtain a fully mature "Soul God Tree fruit." He didn't have that luck. However, listening to the Dark Bishop, this fruit would mature in a few decades. This kind of "Soul God Tree fruit" could already be used. Although it only compared to 60% of the effect of a fully mature body, it was still a rare treasure.

Su Xiao's plan needed to change. He poured another full glass of wine for Dark Bishop Charles and asked:

"Charles, are you afraid of death?"

"Very afraid."

"Then for the sake of Shelter City: Doan, are you afraid of death?"

"Not very afraid."

"Good. Next question: do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Dark Bishop Charles hesitated. He recalled that a few days ago, the two stood on the roof of the Dark Cathedral, watching the Doan residents who received meat with smiles on their faces in the sunset, as well as the cooking smoke rising from every household, and the children running and playing on the streets after eating their fill.

"I, believe you."

"Then I'll give you a chance."

Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin" and placed it on the table in front of him, flipping to the sixth page, the page where the "Soul Crown" was located.

In terms of bestowing power, the "Sun Mask" and "Scarlet Scepter" were certainly better. The problem was that these two Big Daddy-level Original Sin Objects had particularly bad relationships with Su Xiao, belonging to the two Big Daddy-level Original Sin Objects that most wanted to kill Su Xiao.

The "Nether Bone Ring" was also not bad, but its relationship with Su Xiao could at most be considered "cold," and occasionally it also wanted to kill Su Xiao.

Conversely, the "Soul Crown"—Su Xiao helped this Original Sin Object seal into the Big Daddy level, and his current relationship with Su Xiao was "temporarily neutral," not as good as the "neutral" relationship of the Collector, and not as good as the best relationship, the "Book of the Dead." Of course, this good relationship was just "average," mainly because it wouldn't want to actively kill Su Xiao.

Combined with the fact that the "Soul Crown" would bestow powerful soul power upon the user, dealing with the Ancestral Spirits could be said to be quite professionally matched.

Dark Bishop Charles looked at the "Soul Crown" in front of him. Besides fear, there was also a growing desire in his eyes. He asked with a hesitant tone:

"Do I really have the qualification to use this Original Sin Object?"

"No."

"Then?"

"You don't have the qualification to use it, but before you are swallowed by desire, as long as your will is firm enough, the Ancestral Spirits will definitely die before you."

Su Xiao wouldn't deal with the Ancestral Spirits. The reason was that he also had enemies to deal with, and he didn't have the energy to care about what happened to the Shelter City. But since Dark Bishop Charles had come, he would give the other party a choice. If the other party wasn't afraid of death, it would be easy to handle.

Dark Bishop Charles held the "Soul Crown" with both hands, took a deep breath, and placed it on top of his head. The next second, this avatar of his suddenly vanished.

Almost at the same time, in the prayer room of the Dark Cathedral in Shelter City, Dark Bishop Charles himself opened his eyes, and on his head, he was already wearing the "Soul Crown."

Charles rose from his kneeling position and walked toward the outside of the cathedral. Just as he reached the door of the cathedral, he met two people face-to-face: the Priest and the Soul Master.

"Priest, this guy looks very wrong. Priest, Priest?"

The Soul Master turned his head to look, and saw the Priest who had turned into a humanoid grayish-white shell, which made him push his narrow-framed sunglasses with his black-gloved hand. His only thought was: run fast. This old guy, the Priest, was so decisive; the thing Dark Bishop Charles was wearing on his head must be a very terrifying object.

"You, kneel down to this King!"

Boom!

Surging soul power instantly blasted the Soul Master into pieces. And in the ruins a hundred kilometers outside the Shelter City, the Priest, who had just completed his rebirth, saw the soul container slowly open a few meters away, and the Soul Master, with his bare upper body and covered in transparent liquid, sat up from inside.

"Just now, what was that ghost thing?"

"Original Sin Object."

"Huh? Are Original Sin items really that terrifying? I've had a taste of your Golden Holy Grail, and it's simply not on the same level as that crown."

"Of course, that is an Original Sin Object with initial original sin. That crown represents desire."

"Tsk tsk tsk, such an evil thing, how does that Hunter hold it?"

To this question from the Soul Master, the Priest didn't answer. The Priest looked at the dimness outside the building ruins: "Let's begin."

At this moment, Shelter City: Doan, Central Square, beneath the towering central Torch Tower, Dark Bishop Charles stopped here. His pupils were trembling; this was the struggle of consciousness caused by desire being continuously amplified.

Pfft!

Dark Bishop Charles stabbed one hand into his own chest, alive, pulled out his own heart, and threw his heart to Exploration Captain Afiya.

"Afiya, if I succeed, immediately crush my heart, kill me, and immediately go find Bai Ye. Only he can handle the subsequent matters. He promised me that if I paid with my life, he would handle the aftermath."

Charles's gaze was resolute. This was also the reason why he wasn't quickly controlled by the "Soul Crown."

"Zdenek, you come in with me. If I can't hold on, I will commit suicide the moment before I am controlled. You take over, wear this crown. Today, we must deal with this Ancestral Spirit that has swallowed the life force of our Doan for thousands of years, yet has become a new threat to Doan today when Doan is about to be redeemed."

"Good."

The poker-faced Zdenek only answered with one word, but it was equally firm.

"I can also..."

Just as Afiya said this, Charles, who was walking toward the central Torch Tower, stopped and turned his head to smile at her: "Don't die, Afiya."

Leaving this sentence behind, Dark Bishop Charles and Pain Priest Zdenek walked into the central Torch Tower.

Empress City: 15th District, the woods in the backyard of the Wutong Manor, inside the Lord Train.

Su Xiao turned off the projection played by Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang. He rose and came to the bedroom in the rear carriage, first activated the Awakening Monument, refined the 150 points of Law-Breaker skill points in the 【Source Container】 into 30 points, walked into the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse," activated this Tree of the Void facility, and relying on the notarization environment inside, began to upgrade the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability with the refined Law-Breaker skill points.

One hour later, amidst the steam spraying, the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse" opened. The train's smoke sensor activated, discharging the scattered steam. Su Xiao walked out of the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse." He felt that the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body was active to the limit.

Start the Lord Train, target "Absolute Dark Zone."

Two hours later, when the Lord Train stopped, the surrounding light was already exceptionally dim. To ensure that enough Abyssal growths could be lured out, Su Xiao entered the "Absolute Dark Zone" from another entrance.

Entering the "Absolute Dark Zone" this time, Su Xiao didn't have the darkness that had reached the degree of nothingness. With the "Abyssal Vision" brought by the "Intuition" ability, he instead felt that the deeper he went into the "Absolute Dark Zone," the more abundant the light became.

Arriving at the central area of the "Absolute Dark Zone," he took out the high-efficiency atomization device specially made by Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, fixed this metal device, which was the size of a millstone, to the ground, and started it.

Boom~!

The dark impact expanded, and the aura belonging to "Abyssal Source Matter" surged toward the surroundings. But this time, a long time passed, and the surroundings in the darkness were exceptionally quiet.

The Abyssal growths were not stupid. The last time they surrounded Su Xiao, they were killed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Although this time it wasn't the same location, the Abyssal growths in the surrounding darkness had gradually retreated. It looked like they were returning to the Abyssal channel, staying away from this Law-Breaker.

Facing this situation, Su Xiao took out a portion of "Abyssal Source Matter." The container for this "Abyssal Source Matter" was specially made by Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, exceptionally sturdy, and at the same time, one end had been modified. He started the end with a pressure valve, and the "Abyssal Source Matter," which had been granulated by a micro-oscillation device, diffused some.

In the surrounding darkness, it suddenly became exceptionally quiet.

"Roar!!"

A violent roar instantly enveloped Su Xiao. Countless Abyssal growths rushed out from the surrounding darkness.

The next morning, Su Xiao dragged his tired body out of the exit of the "Absolute Dark Zone." With the Green Shadow King bonus, he wasn't afraid of being surrounded. This caused the 【Source Container】 to be full again. Unfortunately, this time no immortal/indestructible Abyssal growths appeared, so there was no "Magic Spirit Source Matter" gain, and the completion degree of the "Abyssal Mission: Gift of Death" didn't increase at all.

Of course, this time wasn't completely without other gains. Besides the 【Hunter Gold Coins】 brought by the "Old Hunter" title, this time coming to the "Absolute Dark Zone," Su Xiao had received a huge amount of camp missions from Caesar in advance.

These missions were all related to cleaning up the Abyssal growths in this world. Su Xiao and Caesar didn't fabricate camp missions out of thin air. These camp missions were all notarized by the Tree of the Void, and because Su Xiao's Tree of the Void reputation was low, these missions underwent a secondary judgment, and the result was that there was no problem at all.

First, one had to know one point: Empress City was one of the core camps of this world, and even, it was the largest core lineup of this world. Combined with the fact that Empress City and the Abyssal camp of this world had no relationship anymore.

Under such a judgment, the encroachment of the Abyss undoubtedly had a huge threat to Empress City. As the camp executive officer of Empress City, Caesar issuing more camp missions to counter the encroachment of the Abyss to avoid Empress City being destroyed by Abyssal growths—this was for public and private, for reason and logic, so there was no problem!

Su Xiao, as the key figure for Empress City becoming the core lineup of this world, accepting these missions to ensure that the Empress City where he currently lived wasn't threatened by Abyssal growths, was even less of a problem.

As for the fact that the camp reputation gains of these missions were too high, Su Xiao killed for a whole night in the "Absolute Dark Zone." By the morning, when he killed until the "Abyssal Source Matter" after using the modified container couldn't lure out Abyssal growths, gaining more camp reputation, wasn't it reasonable?

When the train stopped, Su Xiao had already returned to the Wutong Manor in the 15th District of Empress City. One could only say that having a Lord Train was truly too good, especially in this world encroached by the Abyss, where every teleportation had risks.

Arriving at a relatively safe area, Su Xiao fell asleep on the large bed in the train bedroom. Seeing this, Amu swallowed the food in his mouth, walked out of the train, jumped onto the top of the train, and sat on it. Whoever dared to approach with malicious intent, Amu would immediately slaughter them.

When Su Xiao woke up, it was already noon. The first thing he did when he woke up was to come to the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse." After activating it, he began to upgrade the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability.

More than two hours later, Su Xiao walked out of the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse." Although this Tree of the Void facility still had some usage time, and upgrading the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability didn't put much burden on the body, this was also relative. Upgrading the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability by 60 levels in a short time—the strength of this ability had reached a level that was quite exaggerated even in the Supreme Tier.

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 155 (Active/Passive Skill)】

Usage condition: After opening the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 16,960 points of mana per minute (increase 7,200 points).

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 26,860 points of mana from the enemy and cause true damage equal to mana burned × 1.8 times (base 48,348 points + 400 true damage + Checking Zhan Long Shan increase 50% + Green Shadow King increase 30% + Swift Shadow increase 40% = 106,766 points of true damage). The enemy will suffer intense pain after mana burning.

Defense form: Proud Song (Passive), can generate crystal defense of any form to defend against enemy attacks. Crystal strength is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The single mana consumption upper limit is 31,900 points (increase 9,000 points). Crystal layer defense tier +40 (increase 12).

Notification: After Proud Song transforms into a passive characteristic, crystal composition and spreading speed increase by 76% (increase 26%).

Combat form: Violent Boiling (Active), let Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy "boil," changing from consumption per minute to consumption per second, and mana consumption increases by 1000%, and the final true damage caused by Green Qing Qing Gang Ying × 3 times.

The current Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability has a maximum additional damage of 320,298 points of true damage per slash. Outrageous? That's right, but corresponding to it is the equally outrageous mana consumption, 169,600 points per second.

Su Xiao's 520,000 points of mana were already very high, but the problem was that after opening the "Violent Boiling" of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying now, the mana consumption would be empty in a little over 3 seconds. It seemed he could only open "Violent Boiling" on the slash that decided life and death.

Arriving at the train bathroom and washing up, Su Xiao felt his state reached the best. He came to the front carriage and took out the two existing 【Dukain Family Badges】. His next stop was definitely "Molten City" to deal with Council Chairman: Ergubaya. That old guy had three 【Dukain Family Badges】.

【Announcement (Tree of the Void): Detected that the progress cycle of this world is about to display the reputation leaderboard gains and rewards, totaling as follows:

First place rewards are as follows:

1. 【Random Hegemon Equipment Treasure Chest (Open to obtain, definitely obtain Hegemon equipment of rank 30-50).】

2. 【Supreme Passive Scroll Treasure Chest (★★★).】

Notification: Opening this treasure chest definitely obtains a random body attribute-corresponding Supreme passive, and the grade of this Supreme passive is ★★★ (top-tier).】

3. Soul Source Matter: Unique (This is Supreme Source Matter, currently located in the Tree of the Void inventory).

Only the first place had rewards; the second place went home empty-handed. And whether it was the 【Random Hegemon Equipment Treasure Chest】 or the 【Supreme Passive Scroll Treasure Chest】, they were hard-currency gains that all Supreme contractors particularly wanted.

【Soul Source Matter: Unique】 was the same as 【Hegemon Source Matter】 and 【Supreme Life Source Matter】; it was "Supreme Source Matter" with unique characteristics, which needed the current absorber to die before it would condense and appear again.

Su Xiao estimated that this 【Soul Source Matter: Unique】 would likely increase his own soul strength. He didn't particularly care about other soul characteristic bonuses. To activate the "Exclusive Supreme-level Passive: Origin of Power" possessed upon promoting to the Supreme Tier, he needed a soul strength as high as 1800 points.

This was also why Su Xiao was willing to go into the muddy water of the Shelter City, because there was a "Soul God Tree fruit" there. As a master of pharmacy, he had the confidence to maximize the improvement of that "Soul God Tree fruit."

"Exclusive Supreme-level Passive: Origin of Power" occupied five of Su Xiao's "Supreme Passive Skill Slots," but this skill was in a state of having no bonus at all. He didn't expect to activate this "Exclusive Supreme-level Passive" after returning to the Samsara Paradise this time, but after the next world progress ended, he must activate it. Time waits for no one.

Especially after knowing the strength of the "Supreme Peak," he was even more certain that before he also reached the "Supreme Peak," meeting the Soul Lord would mean death, not to mention that his "Supreme Peak" enemies were not just the Soul Lord.

However, Su Xiao had another idea, which was that even if he won the 【Soul Source Matter: Unique】, he wouldn't use this thing. Ultimately, the soul strength increased by this thing might not be as good as the "Soul God Tree fruit" formulated into a potion. This thing should be more about increasing soul-system basic abilities, or even causing qualitative changes.

Su Xiao estimated that this kind of "Supreme Source Matter" should have an absorption quantity limit. He had already absorbed one portion of 【Supreme Life Source Matter】 and 【Hegemon Source Matter】, wasting one quota on 【Soul Source Matter】 that didn't fit him, just to increase soul strength, wasn't worth it.

However, considering these things now was still too early. If the opponent was someone else, this time it would be a sure thing, but the opponent was the Priest and the Soul Master, so it wasn't that stable.

Opening the mission list, for the first time in a long time, Su Xiao's mission list turned bright red because there were too many completed missions.

【Notification: You have submitted all Empress City camp missions.】

【You have obtained 7,825,930 points of camp reputation.】

The current Empress City camp shop was cleaner than the pockets Caesar had searched. However, with the reputation leaderboard of this world, these camp reputation points had value. He opened the reputation leaderboard.

First place:

Second place: Soul Master (Dawn Paradise), 8.96 million points of Sanctuary reputation.

Third place: Priest (Dawn Paradise), 4.85 million points of Sanctuary reputation.

Fourth place: Aurora (Holy Light Paradise), 1.65 million points of Sanctuary reputation...

Due to the changes in the reputation leaderboard, the World Communication Platform was currently at its liveliest. The content was as follows:

Silo'er (Death Paradise): "To be honest, I just took a screenshot of the reputation leaderboard and sent it to our adventure group channel. As a result, everyone suspected I had photoshopped it. They even pointed out that my editing wasn't rigorous enough; there is only one core faction area here, which is Sanctuary Doan."

Mo'en (Death Paradise): "An increasingly absurd faction reputation ranking."

Celine (Apocalypse Paradise): "The total faction reputation of the top four adds up to 28.88 million points. I've never seen so much faction reputation from the first tier all the way to the Supreme level. Why don't you four just take over the faction shops?"

Aurora (Dawn Paradise): "The Sanctuary faction shop has no meaning anymore. It has lost the notarization of the world's only faction shop, giving some guys an opportunity to take advantage."

Silo'er (Death Paradise): "Why? I was still planning to go exchange for things."

Stone Pig (Apocalypse Paradise): "I don't know which bastard exchanged the Sanctuary faction shop clean, even tearing away the doors and the floor. When I went in yesterday afternoon, good heavens, it was a bare-bones room; I thought I'd gone to the wrong place."
