In the ruins.

“Such a strong style of the Grim Reaper… If discovered by the Black Death Society’s Black Dead Followers, they might consider it a miracle, won’t they?”

Walking through the ruins, Su Lu was far from flustered, instead, there was a hint of casualness to his gait.

After all, he was absolutely familiar with Lady Moon’s scriptures.

Moreover, his abilities had already reached the sixth level, enough to deal with most dangers.

Soon, Su Lu had made a round of the ruins and found no trace of human beings.

If it was so easy to find, the archives of The Eleventh Bureau would not have been labeled ‘missing’ and ‘high-risk.’

“Something is strange…”

Su Lu released his inspiration.

In the next moment, he found himself in a deep underground space.

This area appeared to be the ruins’ underground space, a gigantic maze.

Next to his feet, Su Lu saw a decayed body, still wearing the uniform of The Eleventh Bureau.

Apparently, this was one of the missing detectives from The Eleventh Bureau.

Su Lu took another step.

Flicker!

He bypassed countless forks and traps and directly arrived at the depths of the chamber, which was also the core of the maze.

In front of Su Lu, stood three black Mayan pyramids!

They stood tall and mighty, with platforms at the top, arranged in a character formation of ‘品’.

The thick darkness seemed to have a physical form, transforming into tide, stirring between these three pyramids.

A dangerous aura permeated, causing even Su Lu to take notice.

“This seems to be… a ritual?”

The black color in his pupils became even deeper, his inspiration spread, he looked past the pyramid and saw a vague figure at its core.

In each of the three pyramids, at the center, there was a living humanoid figure!

“This does not seem like a curse or a tomb…it’s somewhat similar to the succession rituals described in the scriptures of the Grim Reaper…”

“So, these ruins, the underground labyrinth, and the three pyramids, are actually to select the successor of the [Emperor of Disaster].”

Surrounding the pyramids, Su Lu found many skeletal remains. Although they seemed like The Eleventh Bureau’s men, they were too decayed.

“Sean…”

He concentrated his spirit, finding familiar aura within a pyramid: “He is one of the three candidates? This kid…how should I describe his luck?”

Su Lu was left somewhat speechless.

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing.

At least, the information about the fifth level [Necromancer King] and the sixth level [Emperor of Disaster] professions was definitely within his grasp.

Only inheriting everything from the other party seemed a bit tricky.

“Never mind, for the sake of roommate… help him for the last time.”

Su Lu lifted his right hand.

His hand was as pure white as the most perfect jade.

At this moment, patterns emerged on it, followed by the breath of the mythic domain!

“Nightmare!”

Said Su Lu softly.

An invisible force field immediately engulfed the three pyramids.

An aura started to visibly wrap around the other two competitors of Sean.

Their faces went from agony to ferociousness, issuing a roar.

Buzzing!

Naturally, this scene sparked the original defense program.

The black fog stirred, and the three pyramids began to slowly descend.

“Now!”

With a cold smile, Su Lu stomped his right foot lightly.

An invisible ripple spread out and covered the bodies of Sean’s two opponents again.

Their aura weakened instantly, they let out a roar that not unlike a human’s.

Regrettably, it was all in vain no matter what they tried.

The disruption of this heritage ritual makes catching up extremely difficult.

“Of course, with my strength and understanding of the ritual, this is the only chance…”

Su Lu remained silent, watching the three pyramids disappear, then let out a sigh: “After several years as roommates, this is all I can do to help. The rest is up to him.”

Considering the inexplicable misfortune on Sean, he still held a bit of confidence in the young man.

…

After all this, Su Lu returned to the surface of the desert island.

“Hmm?”

He looked up to the sky.

A rainbow light was covering the sky, blocking the entire island.

“Is this…a dimensional lock? No… it’s a more advanced Spirit World Lock!”

Corner of Su Lu’s mouth curled into a smile: “The Goddess Church of this world still possesses quite a few treasures…”

The effectiveness of the Spirit World Lock and the Dimensional Lock depends on the target.

For example, with Su Lu’s current flicker level, most ‘Dimensional Locks’ are ineffective against him.

The same applies to the Spirit World Lock.

Even before advancing as a [Spirit Mage], with his LV3 skill of Spirit World Traversal, he might not necessarily be affected.

But Su Lu was curious.

He wanted to know, what kind of measures had the Goddess Church prepared for him.

“Target confirmed!”

“It’s Su Lu Pottery!”

“Begin the strike!”

…

Not far from the deserted island, a group of priests quickly started to act.

A young priest, with devout expression, took out a silver pocket watch and began to adjust its scale.

Along with his movements, his body aged rapidly to the naked eye, quickly transforming into a white-haired old man, and then, death!

Slap!

The silver pocket watch slipped from the fanatic’s hand, caught by another palm, and the adjustment continued.

Finally… after several ‘sacrifices’, the time scale in the pocket watch was reversed a whole round!

“We did it!”

The remaining priests had a look of mad jubilation on their faces: “The X-level marvel… Reversal Pocket Watch! Each activation takes the ‘Youthful Vitality’ of the user, and its effect is horrifying. Although it cannot reverse time, it can summon a scene that has occurred from the long river of history!”

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

At this moment, above the deserted island, Su Lu saw a phantom of a pocket watch.

The minute hand stopped at the 12-hour mark, then began to spin rapidly backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A storm flashes past.

The play of light and shadow, the past and the future, seemed to ‘intersect’ at ‘the present’!

Su Lu saw a professional, dressed in black emperor’s clothes, a black golden crown on his head, stepping on this land when the deserted island was not yet developed!

[Emperor of Disaster]!

“Summoning the phantom from the river of history, and specializing in death and disaster, is this meant to erase me completely?”

Su Lu braced himself.

As expected, the next moment, the [Emperor of Disaster] launched an attack.

“I will bestow upon you misfortune!”

“I will bestow upon you death!”

He stood up straight, declaring as if an emperor.

Splash!

Incredibly, Su Lu could hear the sound of flowing water in his ears.

That’s the River of Underworld!

The most powerful ability of Lady Moon, a slight power of it was borrowed by the [Emperor of Disaster], crashing down thunderously!

Two curse marks appeared on Su Lu, swallowed by the water of the River of Underworld.
