’Secret Keeper’ said expressionlessly: "’Lamp Holder’, although your strength surpasses mine, you shouldn’t bully others like this. After all, this is clearly my ho?"
Yang Qizhou patted his forehead. "You misunderstood. What I ant was... you didn’t co this ti to plea for that mber from the ’Deceit Bureau’? I’ve already agreed, and he’s gone now. Is there sothing else you need?"
The ’Secret Keeper’s’ face softened slightly, his gaze growing more serious as he said, "Pleading for Zhou Xu was secondary. The main reason I sought you out this ti is for sothing important."
"Oh? What’s the matter?"
"The plotline of the ’Land of Prayer Light’ has changed significantly."
Yang Qizhou imdiately perked up. The [Emblem of Justice] was located within the Land of Prayer Light, so the Secret Keeper’s words naturally grabbed his attention.
Yang Qizhou asked, "Has sothing happened?"
The ’Secret Keeper’s’ eyes reflected a hint of seriousness. "Sothing strange, indeed. The leader of the ’Black Mist Sect,’ Corewell, for so unknown reason, has started rushing my ’Ga Character,’ demanding the ’Taboo Treasure’ be found by the end of today, or the teleportation channel to that place will be revoked."
Yang Qizhou followed up, "Was the Black Mist Sect leader’s attitude toward the ’Taboo Treasure’ this urgent before?"
The ’Secret Keeper’ shook his head. "Not at all. We’ve been assigned this task for quite so ti, but the ’Black Mist Sect Leader’ has never rushed us before. He even used to reassure us that there was no ti limit for this commission."
Yang Qizhou continued questioning, "That’s indeed strange. Suddenly, out of nowhere, his attitude takes a 180-degree turn. Do you have any idea why?"
The ’Secret Keeper’ replied, "I don’t know for sure, but it must involve so major, far-reaching event that we’re unaware of, causing ’Corewell’ to suddenly change his mind."
Yang Qizhou began to ponder silently.
’Beauty’s’ fall—it should count as a significant and far-reaching event across the Old Earth, yet players remain unaware of it. However, it seems unlikely to be related to ’Corewell’s’ sudden shift in attitude.
The reasoning is simple: given Corewell’s status as the leader of the Black Mist Sect, he shouldn’t have access to events concerning the ’Cosmic Pillars.’
Could it sohow be linked to the ’Bright City?’
Another speculation surfaced in Yang Qizhou’s mind, one he deed highly probable.
The ’Bright City’ is one of the ancient Evil Gods within the Land of Prayer Light, the ’Mad Creator’s’ true form. Its every move has far-reaching impacts on that land.
This morning, Yang Qizhou’s Ga Character stirred up chaos in the ’Bright City,’ claiming the ’Destiny Replay’ and the ’Old Roots of Profanation of the Lord of Blasphemy.’ This must have driven the ’Mad Creator’ even further into madness. As soone constantly monitoring the Land of Prayer Light, Corewell likely discovered this event and realized its impact on his sches, thus drastically shifting his stance.
"What do you think?" Yang Qizhou raised his eyes to ask.
The ’Secret Keeper’ had already ford his plan and answered decisively: "’Lamp Holder,’ I hope to quickly form another team and push through the Land of Prayer Light’s storyline before the end of today. Otherwise, without the Black Mist Sect’s teleportation channel, finding that forsaken land abandoned by the gods would beco incredibly difficult."
Yang Qizhou agreed with this idea and was about to respond affirmatively, but sothing suddenly crossed his mind. "Alright, but can you wait for —just for one hour?"
"Why? What’s wrong?"
The ’Secret Keeper’ frowned slightly.
Yang Qizhou revealed a peculiar smile. "There’s sothing personal I need to deal with. Don’t worry, it won’t take too much ti."
...
...
After settling the ’Secret Keeper’ comfortably in the living room, Yang Qizhou wandered around his room, eventually finding two bottles of ’Happy Comfy Soda’ in Lin Xiyu’s guestroom. Only then did he return to his own bedroom, satisfied.
Turning on his phone, he opened his chat logs and quickly found the conversation with the ’Dark Star.’
Dammit, still so infuriating...
Yang Qizhou certainly wouldn’t consider himself petty, but the thought of that individual with wives and mistresses aplenty, basking in others’ beauty, yet audaciously seeking his help, always gave him a distinct sense of being flaunted upon.
"Want to save you? Sure, no problem—I’ll ’save’ you good and proper." When saying ’save,’ Yang Qizhou deliberately emphasized the word.
He then activated the Wizard Mark’s power of ’Destiny Revelation’...

...
XX City, autumn café.
"Xiao Zhang, two coconut lattes, no sugar, iced."
"Got it, coming right up."
"Zhang, one cappuccino, and a double passionfruit bomb. The custor wants it rushed."
"No problem, sis."
Behind the workstation, a young figure hustled nervously, sweat dripping down yet always maintaining a cheerful smile—the very image of a sunny young man. Who could have guessed this was the infamous founder of the hidden organization, ’Dark Star Mont,’ and bearer of the ’Beauty God’s Appearance,’ the Dark Star himself?
Finally enduring the peak hours, the Dark Star just sat down to rest when he suddenly felt his facial skin start to itch.
"This silicone mask is on its last leg; I need to find a replacent soon... Ugh, so annoying—damn my devastatingly good looks." The Dark Star sighed deeply.
A cup of milk tea was placed in front of him. "Xiao Wu, here’s your drink."
Flowing smooth hair cascaded downward, followed by a clean and refined face. The girl blinked nervously, seemingly tense.
The Dark Star looked uncertainly and asked:
