The eyes of the Plague Doctor, Knight Order of Light, and Demon Hunter all shone brightly.

The always taciturn Demon Hunter hurriedly left, his steps somewhat unsteady—something impossible for someone of the Golden Upper Tier, yet it happened.

"Really? Is it all going to end?"

Plague Doctor Zai also lost his usual calmness. He wanted to step forward and grab Baiyi, but felt it would be impolite, and his gloved hands were somewhat anxious.

Baiyi's tone remained cheerful: "Of course, I have no reason to deceive you. The god is dead, and you'll see the effect in a few days."

Yet unlike his cheerful tone, his face under the bird beak mask remained expressionless.

Moreover, they were not real Plague Doctors; the historical Plague Doctors had long perished, and these were merely intelligent projections.

Bang~

A subtle collision sound rang out, and a black cabinet appeared before Baiyi.

"Here."

The Demon Hunter still seemed aloof, but one could sense his inner turmoil.

Baiyi looked at the sky, stepped forward, and expressionlessly reached into the left side of the showcase, pulling out a gray tentacle, on which he decisively wrote down his request.

As he released it, the figure of the Divine Showcase slowly faded, and at the same time, Baiyi decisively submitted the World Core.

[You have submitted the World Core of Nightmare World, Black Death·Pathogen. The World is about to reboot. In ten seconds, creatures not belonging to this World will be returned to their entry point.]

[10...9...8...]

Baiyi did not ask for the locations of the three major factions' treasure vaults because, although they were official forces, their vaults would contain nothing but ordinary food and dangerous items.

All their resources had been used up in the early struggle against the Black Death Curse, and at this timeline, even a Plague Doctor Set required a system of inheritance.

Once a Plague Doctor died, his set would be patched up and handed to the next Plague Doctor.

This was why some Death God's Clothes on Plague Doctors looked worn and tattered.

[3...2...1...]

Buzz~

The world suddenly began to tremble at this moment, and in Baiyi's peripheral vision, although the Plague Doctor could not be seen, the Demon Hunter and the Knight Order of Light's eyes became hollow, and their bodies began to slowly crumble.

They were about to enter another cycle, to experience the despair of history once again.

As a white light flashed, Baiyi's perspective was stripped away.

Huff...huff...

The summer wind, carrying warmth, blew, creating a soothing feeling. Baiyi felt a sense of reality from beneath his feet and opened his eyes.

A familiar location, a familiar Bone Dragon, and an astonished expression on Eric's face behind him.

The events of these days seemed like a dream, nothing seemed to have happened besides the sky turning from dusk to moonlight.

"What's going on?" Eric's tone unwittingly carried curiosity.

"The god died, the world rebooted, and we came out," Baiyi explained succinctly, without revealing anything about the panel.

He looked down at the empty City of Calamity, and then at the mission panel, which still showed an incomplete status.

Baiyi was puzzled—was it because Pu Sheng wasn't dead?

He examined closely, then somewhat speechlessly realized the task might be taken literally?

He stamped on the Bone Dragon beneath him and said calmly: "Destroy this place."

Bodun let out a weary low growl, descended at a not-so-fast speed.

Baiyi was puzzled about the Bone Dragon's condition, but the Bone Dragon should be in those Cities of Death where there were no living beings, besides things like S-002 that liked to wander, nothing else would be dangerous.

As long as you hide in a basement at night, nothing should go wrong in a short time.

Since this creature wasn't dead, its state didn't need to be cared about.

Bodun's abdomen scales slowly opened, revealing a multitude of cannons.

As the first explosive fell to the ground, a rain of explosives frantically descended, turning everything below into a sea of fire.

The task required at least one Ancient God's kingdom to vanish from the Xiya Continent. Now, the people of the Calamity Kingdom were all dead, and Pu Sheng had run to the Abyss with Embrace of Suffering.

The Calamity Kingdom only had these buildings left, though it seemed almost impossible.

But when the last building collapsed under the roar of Alchemy Explosives, the panel indeed brought news of success.

[Task: Path of the Strong, completed.]

[You receive: Alchemy Transformation Energy×1, attribute points +20, skill points +10.]

[Receive Alchemy Transformation Energy?]

[Received.]

An enigmatic wave circulated around Baiyi, and under Eric's surprised gaze, Baiyi quietly advanced.

There was no earth-shattering aura, not even Bodun felt anything. The breakthrough from Silver to Gold was completed.

This wasn't surprising, as Alchemists are different from other professions.

Mages breaking into Gold experience magical surges; Divine Mages evoke phenomena at their breakthrough; Warriors and Assassins both manifest rules.

But the Alchemist profession is more about the accumulation of knowledge. For example, the Silver Alchemist's magic power has a silvery sheen, while the Golden Alchemist's magic power has a golden sheen. Breakthroughs are about change in quality, not quantity.

Baiyi felt his spirit growing more resilient, clenched his fist, and, after removing his bird beak mask, joyfully said: "Let's go back."

Bodun, holding back exhaustion, activated the thrusters on its wings, shooting forward instantaneously.

However, it didn't reach five Mach speed. These past few days in the Nightmare World were the toughest days of its life as a dragon, a mutated creature had been chasing it since it entered, pursuing until it suddenly left just a moment ago.
