Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"The power of Wind Disaster has been completely absorbed."

"Pangu Primordial Sequence · First Move has been upgraded."

"'Lie Flat' Level Two achieved!"

"When the champion adopts a lying flat posture, activate this Sequence Power immediately."

"Description: The champion can choose themselves or another unit to enter into an undetected state."

"You, lying on the ground, belong to an actualized object of the sequence, immune to all damage."

Wu Xiaode looked at the instructions and fell into contemplation.

——Now, he could choose to make other "units" undetected.

That's great.

After all, Qiong's strength was too weak; if I were not careful and missed a monster, she would be in danger.

So, it's better to let her turn invisible while I deal with the monsters.

Three more lines of small print emerged:

"The power of Human Emperor envelops the 'Pangu Primordial Sequence · First Move,' rendering it undetectable by the nine major sequences."

"——The two-way choice between sequences and sentient beings is about to begin!"

"Please treat it with caution!"

Wu Xiaode stood still, quietly waiting.

Suddenly.

A wispy, ethereal whisper gently sounded:

"You're quite a troublesome fellow…"

"Unwilling to fight hard and kill the enemy, to enhance your skin; you only know how to cling to life desperately every day."

"What kind of sequence would choose an existence like you?"

Wu Xiaode was unexpectedly startled.

Is there a mistake?

Although I carry the title of 'Gatekeeper,' this is Heavenly Realm Skin!

Besides, I've killed not a few enemies!

As he thought this, he saw the Book of the Dead flip directly to the page of the Primordial Sequence.

A speck of black lifted from the page, touched his forehead, then settled back down.

A piece of information surfaced in Wu Xiaode's mind.

——It turns out that since its birth, Pangu has been thinking of ways to deal with the fate of destruction.

It split into two paths.

The first path is to guide the recipients of the sequence to continuously grow stronger and to possess all of Pangu's powerful treasures.

——This path is the mission prompts that appear each time.

The second path is for the holders of the sequence to do anything without being detected by the other sequences that descend from Eternity.

Wu Xiaode subconsciously looked at the Oblivion River Ring on his hand.

Do nothing and receive gifts from Pangu every day.

It seems I have avoided the first path and have always been on the second one!

No wonder the nine major sequences could sense my wealth, yet not know of my battles all this time.

Perhaps what they see is me always lying flat, with no real power.

Interesting.

The Human Emperor ensures the sequence remains undetected, and the sequence ensures my battles are undetected.

A sense of security welled up.

At this moment, the whisper sounded again:

"You have one opportunity to try the following sequences and ultimately make a choice:"

"1. Miracle Series;"

"This is a trade-type sequence;"

"When you summon the sequence, it will make you a shopkeeper to trade with other sequence users; the sequence will take a cut;"

"2. Divine-given Sequence."

"This is a sacrifice-type sequence;"

"By paying enough price for the sacrifice, you can acquire power, followers, wealth, and everything granted by Eternity; each sacrificial offering can be anything from Pangu World."

Sacrifice my ass.

This is clearly the work of an Evil Sect.

Taking into account Little Black's power, if I want to stay hidden, dealing in business is secure.

Let's choose the Miracle Series.

——This sequence needs to be summoned to come; when not summoned, it's not on me.

Safe.

Too safe.

"I want to try the Miracle Series."

Wu Xiaode spoke out.

Suddenly, a silver metallic sphere appeared in the Void.

It spoke:

"This sequence will assist you in setting up a super-spacetime marketplace."

"Currently available marketplace options include:"

"Street stall, shop, auction house, bar."

"The street stall requires the least expense but can only complete basic transactions and is not protected;"

"Shop allows for high-level treasure trades and comes with a hire-help feature;"

"Auction house allows for Miracle trades and comes with an auction feature;"

"Bar allows for any trade and comes with an intelligence feature;"

"Please pay the corresponding wealth to successfully open your marketplace."

Wu Xiaode quickly read through and asked:

"So, what if I don't have enough money?"

The silver metallic sphere immediately responded:

"Please choose a marketplace that belongs to you after acquiring sufficient wealth."

"You may call on the 'Miracle Series' at any time to summon this interface."

With that, the silver metallic sphere "whooshed" and disappeared into the Void.

Wu Xiaode stood stunned.

——For those without enough money to build a marketplace, the change in this sequence's attitude was all too real.

"I want to try the Divine-given Sequence."

The surroundings underwent a transformation.

And he found himself no longer in the Hell Rift, but before a high altar.

"The altar serves all beings with divine gifts. Mortal, bring out what you wish to sacrifice, and you can complete this round of divine gifting."

So that's how it is.

This one was even more "hands-off" than the Miracle Series.

It didn't care whether you were strong or had the money; it only cared if you were making a sacrifice.

In that case, let's choose this one.

"I choose the Divine-given Sequence."

The voice sounded once more:

"The Divine-given Sequence has been confirmed as your private sequence, and you may come to make sacrifices at any time."

"The summoning spell is, 'Eternal grant the ritual, activate.'

"Please note:"

"In this trial, you did not sacrifice anything, and if you still do not perform a sacrifice at this altar the next time you come, you will be the one to be sacrificed."

Wu Xiaode smiled faintly.

He knew there would be no such simple affair.

No matter what.

For now, just take it one step at a time.

He needed to go back and replenish Qiong's arrows—

She had just upgraded her skin and regained the ability to activate her special bow, needing arrows for it.

With this thought, Wu Xiaode turned to head back.

It wasn't long before.

He arrived at the massive mechanical metal door.

The door was still tightly closed.

—Previously, he was too busy in combat to come back and deal with this matter.

But now it was different.

Wu Xiaode drew out his Desert Sword and waved it casually.

The mechanical metal door was immediately cut open, creating a rectangular gap.

Wu Xiaode walked through the door, making his way back to Qiong's room, only to find it surrounded by many professionals.

"What's going on?"

he asked.

A professional who was there to watch the excitement replied without turning:

"Qiong and her man were sacrificed in the underground rift, and her belongings are being sorted and confiscated."

Wu Xiaode nodded.

The Book of the Dead opened, and Qiong appeared beside him.

"I'm dead? How come I didn't know?"

she said curiously.

The crowd heard her voice and turned to look.

The few professionals who had been moving things around in her room also stopped their actions and stared at her blankly.

Qiong let out a cold laugh, drew her End of the World Bow, and shook it fiercely.

A strange whimpering sound immediately emerged from the bowstring.

The heads of the professionals in the room burst open simultaneously, and their bodies fell to the floor.

"Qiong, how could you kill people!"

A voice came from afar, frantic and indignant.

Everyone looked over.

They saw General Chatham rushing over with a few of his subordinates.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaode, thinking of something, said:

"Eternal grant the ritual, activate."

Before his words had finished.

The Butterfly Soul blade at his waist slid out of its sheath, and he grabbed it in his hand.

As Qiong completed her upgrade, he, too, had completed an upgrade!

At that moment, with his attributes at a high +13, he instantly moved through the crowd and thrust his knife into Chatham's chest, nailing him to the wall.

—But Wu Xiaode did not proceed to kill his opponent.

At this point, Chatham, as the de facto person in charge of the bunker, probably had a sequence of his own.

Wu Xiaode wanted to see how the sequence would handle a clash between two people with sequences.

"This soul is offered to the Divine-given Sequence!"

Wu Xiaode declared.

Before his words were finished, the scenery around disappeared.

Wu Xiaode was once again in front of the altar.

Chatham was still nailed by the knife, but this time to the altar itself.

Only then did he realize what had happened.

Fear welled up from the depths of his heart, and he couldn't help but yell:

"No... I call upon my sequence... please summon help for me, I am willing to offer everything—"

His voice was abruptly cut off.

A beam of light shot down from the dark night sky above the altar, landing on him.

His storage bracelet, his weapons, his flesh, bones, and soul, all soared into the sky with the beam of light, their whereabouts unknown.

However, Wu Xiaode thought he heard the faint sound of chewing.

That chewing sound was coming from—

The altar not far from him.

Had he heard incorrectly?

If it was a mistake, then it was of no consequence.

But if his judgment was correct—

Could it be that the so-called Divine Gift ceremony was just an illusion?

Was Chatham actually eaten directly?

Wu Xiaode was hesitant.

Suddenly.

Little Black sent him a thought:

"Champion, I was born their nemesis, so they can't deceive me."

"Now I will help you pierce through the eternal mist to see the true form of this place."

The next instant.

The night sky disappeared, the altar disappeared, and the dense darkness all around vanished without a trace.

Wu Xiaode found himself standing in an endless world filled with bones.

Not far in front of him, a monster was holding Chatham's body, chewing with big bites.

Halfway through eating, it suddenly spat something out in front of Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode looked down.

He saw a blood-stained dagger embedded in the ground.

With a flash of golden light.

All traces of blood on the dagger disappeared.

The illusory shadows of the dark sky and altar reappeared around him.

But all this could no longer deceive Wu Xiaode.

He heard a voice, full of majesty and solemnity, coming from the mouth of the monster:

"Well done, this is the gift Eternal grants to you."

"Mortal, continue to strive, and offer all of Pangu World to the eternal master!"
