Late-night food stalls.

  Countless young men and women were enjoying barbecue and beer, chatting happily in the lively atmosphere.

  Lu Ming was also there with Qin Churan and Lin Youwei, savoring skewers.

  He gnced casually at Lin Youwei, who was leisurely nibbling on a chicken wing.

  Lu Ming couldn't help but have a sudden thought.

  "Such a petite person, yet she's also an Agent of the Gods!"

  In his previous life, Lu Ming was chosen by the God of Luck, Fortuna, to be an agent because he was the 99,999,999,999th pyer to enter the Sky Abyss, triggering "luck"!

  It was conceivable that Lin Youwei must have triggered some condition to be selected by a god as well.

  He wondered which sequence of god had chosen Lin Youwei and what kind of extraordinary abilities they possessed.

  Lu Ming was filled with anticipation and couldn't help but want to quickly nurture Lin Youwei!

  Just then, Qin Churan suddenly handed his phone to Lu Ming.

  "Hey, look, you're famous again!"

  Lu Ming took the phone and saw a TikTok video pying before him.

  The content of the video was the scene from earlier that evening outside the bck market, where Bde Ghosts were sughtering pyers!

  In just a few dozen seconds, the video, from a bystander's perspective, perfectly showcased the power and cruelty of the Bde Ghosts, as well as the bloodiness of the scene, making countless viewers in the comments shiver.

  "What is this thing? Why isn't it recorded in the Sky Abyss strategy guide?"

  "This monster is too strong! A level 50 pyer got killed instantly??"

  "Damn! They even eat people and drink blood! It's terrifying!"

  "Isn't it said that there are gods in the Sky Abyss world? If there are gods, there must be ghosts. Could these be the ghosts?"

  "Why does this feel like the apocalypse is coming? If these monsters come out in full force, how can we humans resist?"

  "Not bad, this Trickster is quite strong! He can even kill these monsters! If there are ghosts, there must be gods. Could he be a god?"

  ...

  These ghostly creatures had quickly entered the public eye.

  In fact, this wasn't a good thing, because ordinary pyers, even if they knew of the existence of these creatures, had no means to deal with them, which would only increase their panic and internal strife.

  Of course, for Lu Ming, these weren't the most important issues.

  The most important thing was to change the outcome foretold by the bck cloak: that he would die at the hands of Qin Feng and Ye Ling'er in two and a half years!

  The God Syer had already begun secretly colluding with these creatures, and history was unfolding as the bck cloak had said.

  If Lu Ming continued to focus solely on improving his own strength using conventional methods, it would inevitably lead to a repetition of history.

  Because all the strength Lu Ming had gained so far, according to history, would have been obtained on the timeline where the bck cloak traveled back from.

  Yet he still died.

  This meant that the catastrophe that would lead to Lu Ming's death in two and a half years could not be reversed by him alone!

  As the bck cloak had said: in the future, he preferred to act alone, without a single friend or teammate by his side.

  Relying on his own strength alone, he would be unable to fight against the entire Godsyer Squad and the ghostly creatures backing them.

  Therefore, he had to break the mold and respond with unconventional methods!

  "If a mortal body cannot resist the ghostly creatures, only the gods can..."

  "It seems I need to quickly find the Agent of the Goddess Nyx, to gain another ally and more strength!"

  Additionally, he needed to help Lin Youwei quickly lift her account ban and assist her in becoming an Agent of the Gods!

  With one more god in this world, humanity would have a bit more hope for the future.

  And Lu Ming would have one more chance to change the future!

  Because Lu Ming's profession and talents were inclined towards support.

  Agents of the Gods under his command could unleash even greater power!

  So, for the future Agent of the God of Vengeance, Horus, Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

  "In honor of the God of Vengeance, I'll give you a chance."

  "But whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your own fate."

  ...

  The deep night enveloped the earth.

  In a realm of darkness, Dragon Soul Guan Yu stood alone, as if trapped.

  In his ears, the cries and pleas of his daughter, Guan Xiaotong, echoed:

  "Daddy! Save me!"

  "Save me, Daddy, I'm so scared..."

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu gripped his dragon-sying saber, anxiously scanning the surroundings, trying to find his daughter's figure in the darkness.

  Finally, in front of him, he saw Guan Xiaotong!

  "Xiaotong, don't be afraid, Daddy's here to save you!"

  Just as Dragon Soul Guan Yu rushed towards Guan Xiaotong.

  Squelch!

  Suddenly, a sharp bde pierced through Guan Xiaotong's body from behind.

  Instantly, blood stained her white robe.

  With a look of immense pain and fear, Guan Xiaotong colpsed into a pool of blood right before Dragon Soul Guan Yu's eyes...

  "Xiaotong!"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu jolted awake from his bed.

  With sweat dripping from his forehead, he looked around and realized he was in a hotel room.

  He finally understood it was just a nightmare!

  But this dream left Dragon Soul Guan Yu with an endless sense of dread.

  Just then, the phone rang.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu answered the call, and a stern voice came through: "Guan Yu! You have some nerve! How dare you join forces with the Nether and openly oppose my God Syer!"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu's heart trembled.

  He realized that the incident at the bck market earlier, where he and Lu Ming joined forces to sy the Bde Ghosts, had been discovered by God Syer Tian Ci through a video recorded by a bystander!

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu was about to expin.

  But God Syer Tian Ci's voice continued: "I'll give you one st chance. If you don't want your daughter to die horribly!"

  "I don't care what means you use, tomorrow night at eight, bring the Nether to the northern part of Starlight City, to the Magic Forbidden Zone map."

  "Remember, this is your st chance!"

  With that, the call ended.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu's right hand, holding the phone, trembled uncontrolbly.

  He recalled what the bck cloak had said in front of him and Lu Ming that day.

  He thought of how these traitors of God Syer colluded with ghostly creatures, betrayed Great Xia, and caused the future extinction of all humanity.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu couldn't help but clench his fist, his sharp eyes filled with endless fury.

  But thinking of his daughter Guan Xiaotong still in their hands, Dragon Soul Guan Yu dared not act rashly.

  "I'm sorry, Xiaotong, it's Daddy's fault!"

  "Daddy can't save you..."

  ...

  The morning sun shone warmly over Starlight City.

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

  Three beams of white light descended.

  Lu Ming, Qin Churan, and Lin Youwei logged in simultaneously.

  "The immediate priority is to increase our strength and execute the second-tier ghost general lurking in Starlight City: Blood Moon Warrior, Gu!"

  "Not only can we avert the crisis of Starlight City being massacred in two and a half years, but we can also gain some rewards from this ghost general!"

  The massive experience points and Ghost Core rewards from the first-tier ghost beasts st night had given Lu Ming a taste of the benefits.

  He believed the second-tier ghost general would be even more valuable!

  And for Lu Ming, the fastest way to increase his strength was to level up.

  Every 10 levels would allow his three major talents to upgrade, bringing a qualitative change in overall strength!

  By level 40, when all talents were at Lv5, he should have the strength to execute the ghost general!

  With this in mind, the three of them headed to the Nether Ghost Tower as usual.

  Leveling up and making money, both at the same time!

  They spent the day grinding in the eighth realm.

  Lu Ming's level increased from 31 at 24% to 33 at 51%.

  In addition, the massive soul power collected during the process allowed all 1,320 undead to be promoted to fourth-tier Reapers!

  And through numerous monster kills, he also luckily gained 10 points of divine power!

  Lu Ming then took out a first-tier Ghost Core from his bag, consumed 10 points of divine power, and cracked it.

  [Ding~ Congratutions on activating the Divine Soul: Immortality (Lv1)!]

  Another Divine Soul activated!

  Lu Ming checked and found that this Divine Soul effect increased Health Points by 10%!

  With this Divine Soul's bonus, his Health Points on the status panel increased from 7,944 to 8,738!

  One Divine Soul a day.

  A one percent increase a day.

  Lu Ming couldn't help but marvel: "Gods, truly worthy of being gods!"

  How can a zero-spending pyer compete with a VIP spender?

  Just as Lu Ming was thinking this.

  Suddenly.

  Thud, thud!

  A message came from Dragon Soul Guan Yu:

  "Nether, I've discovered God Syer's people negotiating with the ghostly creatures, come quickly!"

  "[Lv43 Magic Forbidden Zone] (location)"
