Who knows if his game character is the first blasphemous sorcerer in the endless expanse of time to step into the 'Land of Truth.'

The game suddenly updated.

Could this have a direct connection to the prophecy?

"'Lamp Bearer' sir, has that extremely important storyline you were involved in reached its conclusion?" The speaker was the 'Hidden Practitioner,' with a hint of tension in her voice. In fact, she really wanted to ask what 'game update' meant, but that would inevitably touch on the secrets of the 'Lamp Bearer.' Worried about creating misunderstandings, she thought for a moment and decided to abandon the question.

"It's over, and it went rather smoothly."

Talking about it brought a smile to Yang Qizhou's face, even though he wanted to maintain his cold and aloof demeanor.

Suddenly, he thought of something. He waved toward the 'Hidden Practitioner' and said, "Madam Group Leader, I have some matters to handle over here, let's talk later."

This young lady from the capital naturally didn't challenge him and gracefully waved in understanding.

Yang Qizhou then turned his gaze to 'Mr. Death.'

"'Lamp Bearer' sir, do you have instructions?" The leader of the 'Death Cult' approached respectfully and greeted him, though deep down he couldn't help but sigh; he had already guessed what fate awaited him.

Sure enough,

Yang Qizhou, devoid of even a flicker of emotion, said calmly, "Go to the 'Deceit Bureau' and turn yourself in. You know the way."

"I heed your voice."

'Mr. Death' responded with a face full of despondency and left Sky Mountain Garden No. 10.

The formidable leader of a hidden organization, its founder, and a top-level player in the Deceit World—just because of one sentence from the 'Lamp Bearer,' he obediently walked himself to the 'Deceit Bureau' to turn in?

This left the 'Hidden Practitioner' feeling utterly incredulous...

The ever-energetic 'Rabbit' couldn't hold back and asked, "'Lamp Bearer' sir, you just told 'Mr. Death' to turn himself in without assigning anyone to keep an eye on him. What if he runs away? What then?"

"He won't dare."

To this question, Yang Qizhou answered with just three calm words.

Why wouldn't he dare? You're not by his side. If he didn't go to the 'Deceit Bureau' and chose to run away instead, you wouldn't be able to find him, leaving him free to roam forever.

Both the 'Hidden Practitioner' and 'Rabbit' thought the same thing in their minds. But when they looked at the confident smile of the 'Lamp Bearer,' radiating an inexplicable brilliance, they couldn't help but believe him.

"Alright, let's not dwell on this. Miss 'Hidden Practitioner,' you're here this time concerning the matter of the 'Ancient Land' merging with the 'real world,' correct?" Yang Qizhou said. His current residence, Sky Mountain Garden No. 10, was part of the 'Hidden Practitioner's' property. Given this connection, his attitude toward her now wasn't too bad.

The 'Hidden Practitioner' didn't hide it and nodded directly, saying, "'Lamp Bearer' sir, to be honest with you, I'm very scared right now."

"Scared?"

"The sky reflects terrifying visions. The 'Ancient Land' is merging with the real world. A new era is unfolding, and various horrifying events are bound to follow. Bad things have already started happening. Although I have a distinguished identity and decent game progress, which should theoretically give me the ability to protect myself, that was in the past. Now the 'Ancient Gods' are interfering extensively in reality. The Deceit Bureau can no longer suppress the dark forces, and anything terrifying could happen. So I feel uneasy about this future shrouded in darkness."

The 'Hidden Practitioner' took a deep breath and said a lot, fully showcasing the fragility of a woman.

And this is only the beginning. 'Shining Fate' is flowing into the 'Ancient Land.' The Ancient Gods have already set their sights on this tiny planet. Once the 'Destiny Ripple' smooths out, there's a chance they will descend en masse, marking the arrival of the apocalypse.

Yang Qizhou thought of the 'Chaos Angel' in the 'Deceit Prison,' a servant of catastrophic forces, remembering her description of the current world. His heart grew slightly heavier.

But he didn't show it, instead calmly asking, "So, you're here not just to lament before me, right?"

"I wish to gain your blessing. In exchange, I'll give you ownership of this 'Sky Mountain Garden No. 10.'" The 'Hidden Practitioner' bit her lip, her voice heavy with gravity, as if this decision took immense effort.

"Boss, this is your favorite residence! You're just giving it away for free? Are you sure?"

'Rabbit' widened her eyes and mentally screamed, unable to believe this luxury mansion—worth nearly ten digits—was being given away so easily by her boss.

The 'Hidden Practitioner' ignored her unusually lively subordinate, only looking nervously and uneasily at the figure before her. Her heart was filled with anxiety, worried that the enigmatic 'Lamp Bearer' wouldn't be satisfied with this condition and would demand something even more excessive.

After all, this was the 'Lamp Bearer'...

A figure far beyond current player progress and capable of manipulating high-tier divine events—the strongest player. His blessing isn't something that can be measured by money.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, while this 'Sky Mountain Garden No. 10' mansion is indeed valuable by conventional standards, now that the 'Ancient Land' and the real world are beginning to merge in chaos, the monetary worth of such things is becoming increasingly unreliable. So although some people might agree to the condition, the 'Lamp Bearer's' acceptance was still far from certain.

Yang Qizhou smiled and agreed, saying, "Alright. If you encounter danger, you can chant the full honored name of the 'God of Victory.' You still remember it, don't you? Oh, and by the way, I still owe you a miracle for ascension—rest assured, I'll deliver on that soon."

Yang Qizhou, of course, understood that the mansion's actual value was far less than the worth of his promise of blessing, especially during this unique era of upheaval.

But he had a favorable impression of the 'Hidden Practitioner.' When he first entered the game, she rendered substantial help.

"Really? Did I hear you correctly?" Seeing the 'Lamp Bearer' agree so straightforwardly, the 'Hidden Practitioner' momentarily lost her composure.

Yang Qizhou grinned, revealing a smile full of playful mischief, "What, should I act like I'm unimpressed with the offer, refuse, or add more conditions?"

The 'Hidden Practitioner' was startled and hurriedly shook her head.

"No, no, 'Lamp Bearer' sir, that's not what I meant."

Yang Qizhou waved casually, seeing her nervous expression and decided to stop teasing. His thoughts turned to other matters… The game had been updated for 24 hours, with game character timelines frozen, so there was no need to worry about safety. What would be a good use of this time?

Ah,

It had been a while since he last saw the little bean sprout. Now that the 'Ancient Land' and the real world were merging, he wondered how she and Sister Xin were faring—whether they'd been scared. As for their safety, that wasn't a concern. The little girl knew the full honored name of the 'Iron Blood God.' If danger arose, she'd have already chanted it.

Since there wasn't much to do today, why not go check on them?

Meanwhile,

Things had progressed, and the 'Hidden Practitioner' had obtained what she wanted. She and 'Rabbit' were ready to leave immediately. But at that moment, she recalled the whisper heard on the street and the irresistibly alluring call. After hesitating briefly, she finally decided.

She then described her experience in the alley.

"You're saying the whisper mentioned 'God-forsaken,' 'Beacon,' and 'Truth?'" Initially, Yang Qizhou didn't pay much attention. But after hearing her recount in detail, he couldn't help but connect it to the 'Land of Truth' and the 'Blasphemous Sorcerer,' becoming deeply intrigued.

The 'Hidden Practitioner' nodded, giving an affirmative response. "Yes, 'Lamp Bearer' sir, I'm certain those words appeared."

"Then what are we waiting for? Take me there immediately. It might already be brewing dangers capable of endangering the Capital City and even the entire world." Yang Qizhou spoke rapidly, seemingly more anxious than both the 'Hidden Practitioner' and 'Rabbit.'

The three of them didn't delay any further, leaving Sky Mountain Garden No. 10 and heading toward the unknown alley filled with enigmatic whispers.
