The post states that recently, there have been large-scale changes in the night-wanderer's spiritual realms, with many previously recorded realm instances undergoing transformations—becoming more challenging, now evolving into entirely new, unexplored instances. Their difficulty has reached A-level or even S-level. Many night-wanderers who are scheduled to enter the realms recently have unfortunately been assigned to these upgraded instances, resulting in their demise. The poster is one of the forum administrators, so this can be considered an official announcement. "Have there been many S-level and A-level night-wanderer-specific spiritual realms?" Zhang Yuanqing was momentarily taken aback. The spiritual realms operate with a balance and matching mechanism—each level has its own corresponding instances: level 1 has level 1 instances, level 2 has level 2 instances, and so on. Occasionally, a level 1 traveler may enter a level 2 instance, but the tasks assigned will be relatively simpler. In short, the tasks given by the realms may be difficult and result in high mortality rates, but it is never the case that a level 1 traveler receives tasks typically assigned to level 3 travelers. Moreover, within the corresponding instance at each player's level, there are five difficulty ratings—S through D. S-tier challenges represent the current benchmark, with exceptionally high mortality rates, yet they offer the most rewarding rewards. Zhang Yuanqing later reflected on the trial mission of Shela Ling Tunnel. Even without the Red Slippers, the success rate for new players was barely one in ten. With so many A-tier and S-tier instances now newly established, how many people must have perished? His first thought was: Wow, I'm almost entering the Spiritual Realm now—does that mean I still have time to switch my career path? His second thought was: Ah, my next entry is likely to be a multi-player Spiritual Realm—then I'm all set. He felt a subtle sense of relief and then scrolled down to read the official Spiritual Realm explorers' perspectives. The post immediately sparked a significant reaction within the official organization, drawing close attention from official explorers across various regional branches. The post quickly gained substantial popularity, with over a thousand comments below. 【The days ahead will be long: "Now I understand, now I understand—my night-wanderer informant has suddenly gone silent today."] 【The days gone are many: "What? You have a night-wanderer informant? Dog, you've been hiding this well."] 【Unruly and unconstrained: "Something's off. Though the temple's quest realms are ever-changing, such changes are usually predictable and acceptable. This time, however, the night-wanderer's exclusive realm has shifted so abruptly and unreasonably."] 【The sovereign is unwell: "Could it be the death of the Magus that's caused this? I heard from the Taimei division that the Magus passed away not long ago."] 【The green vine: "Whom did you hear about the Magus's passing? Was it Yuan Ting?"] 【Call me Queen: "We can't do without the Night-Wanderers when handling cases. Moreover, the Judge of Strange Eyes has just passed away, and communities across the land are on high alert for the possibility of the Fallen going berserk. Songhai is especially tasked with tracking down the Black Unseen. At this critical juncture, if the Night-Wanderer's quest fails, could we face a shortage of personnel?"】 【Qingteng: "Such a situation is indeed likely, but not every Night-Wanderer will be entering the Spirit Realm in the near future."】 The frequency of Spirit Realm missions isn't particularly high, so we don't need to worry about a large-scale loss of Night-Wanderers. 【Call me Queen: "They will eventually enter the Spirit Realm, and with so many unexplored realms suddenly appearing, the number of Night-Wanderers is likely to decline sharply in the coming period."】 Sacrifices are inevitable throughout the journey of exploring the Spirit Realm. The Queen's point is well taken—I will ultimately have to enter solo quests. The S-tier and A-tier missions are daunting, and I'm playing a Mage King character... Zhang Yuanqing found himself growing Exited the forum, opened the chat app, and sent a message to Yuan Ting: "Yuan Captain, I've read the pinned post on the forum. What's going on with the updated difficulty for the Night-Wanderer Spirit Realm dungeon? I can cover the consultation fee." A professional question—still needs to be asked of a professional. Yuan Ting replied promptly: "I don't know yet. The Night-Wanderer Spirit official group chat is completely overwhelmed. Colleagues who are planning to enter the Spirit Realm in the near future, or who will enter soon, are all anxious. After all, it's an S-tier dungeon—not everyone can make it, and even A-tier entries often depend on luck. I'm not entirely clear on what's happening either. The Council is gathering data, and we should have an official announcement by tonight." Yuan Ting wasn't feeling well—this morning, a close colleague had entered the Spirit Realm and had not yet emerged, their fate still uncertain. He himself would face a solo dungeon in about another fifteen days, with the variance unlikely to exceed a week. "Got it," Zhang Yuanqing said, and didn't ask any further questions. … Over the following half-day, Zhang Yuanqing occasionally checked the official forum, keeping an eye on the latest updates, completely losing his earlier enthusiasm for shopping. When the sun set, his aunt took his arm and walked home, while Zhang carried a bundle of shopping bags. "Hm, has your strength increased?" Jiang Yuyi pressed her fingers against the muscles of his arms, remarking, "They're so firm..." If I were Guan Ya, I'd say, "My strength exceeds your expectations" or "I've got even firmer yet," but Zhang merely replied casually, "Physical health is the foundation of any revolution—I've been working out recently." After dinner, Zhang returned to his bedroom, locked the door, and waited for the official announcement from Taiyuan Gate. One could imagine that at this very moment, official night-watchers across the country were just like him, holding their phones or computers, patiently awaiting the organization's announcement. Finally, at 9:30, after continuously refreshing the forum, he came across a highlighted, pinned post: #Recent Changes in the Spirit Realm Announcement and Reward Call-Out# "Recently, the Night-Wanderer Spirit Realm has experienced a sudden disruption. After investigation by the Council of Elders, it has been confirmed that the anomaly is caused by the revival of a high-level boss within the realm. As of now, according to collected intelligence, eight Spirit Realm dungeons have undergone level upgrades. These are: 【Ming Lake Town, No. 0128, Difficulty S (Night-Wanderer Exclusive Realm)] 【Ming Dynasty Cemetery, No. 1180, Difficulty S (Night-Wanderer Exclusive Realm)] 【Xinfeng Reservoir, No. 1910; Difficulty A (Night-Wanderer Exclusive Realm)] 【Yinshan Ghost School, No. 0046, Difficulty A (Night-Wanderer Exclusive Realm)] 【Seal the King's Tomb, No. 0277, Difficulty A (Night-Wanderer Exclusive Realm)] 【Jinshui Theme Park, No. 6203, Difficulty S ( Achieve an A-tier realm and earn a C-tier merit. Achieve a B-tier realm and receive a reward of 500,000. This post was reposted from the official forum of Taimei Gate. Notably, within the official merit system, A-tier merits are typically awarded to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, benefiting their families. B-tier merits are usually granted to those who suffer irreversible injuries. C-tier merits represent the upper limit for ordinary realm practitioners, though still highly challenging—often requiring coordinated efforts from a team. The highest tier, S-tier, has been achieved by only five Grand Masters, with a few outstanding elders receiving at most an A-tier merit. Thus, the value of a B-tier merit is undeniable. When Zhang Yuanqing finished reading the post, over a thousand comments had already accumulated, creating an impact that surpassed even the one posted earlier that noon. Because the official realm practitioners of the Wuxing Alliance have realized this issue has evolved beyond mere observation—Taimei Gate has identified two of the revised realm instances as multi-player types. Multiple-type realms mean that realm explorers from other professions also have a chance of entering. [Long-term prospects: Those two "multi-player realms" seem to involve supernatural elements, right? My goodness, even the multi-player realms are affected! Fortunately, only one—Golden Water Park—is at S-level.] [Queen to be: First, no one knows how long this chaotic transformation will last; what we're seeing is merely the current state. If more multi-player realms with supernatural elements are impacted, we'll be in serious trouble. Second, even if it's not a death event, a single failure deducts experience points, directly causing us to regress in strength—this comes at a significant cost.] [Many days of suffering: Ah, I was just enjoying the sidelines for lunch when all of this happened. What now? I've been planning to enter multi-player realms recently—I thought I'd be lucky enough to avoid this.] [George the Pig: If we don't tackle these realms soon, within six months, the official night-wanderers' numbers will sharply decline, and other professions might also be affected. What's so tough about these bosses? They're pushing so hard that they've actually issued a public reward. [Qingteng: Please pay attention—this reward is being issued to all night-wandering deities nationwide. If you have contacts among the night-wandering deities or know any wild night-wandering deities, please pass this information along.] [Bai Long: Is the person above clueless? The night-wandering deity dungeon guide is entirely their own affair. What we truly need to focus on is the multi-player spiritual realm—this one directly affects our lives.] [Qudi Kuo Du: Exactly! We're seeking high-value information on the "Golden Water Amusement Park," "Screeching Room," and "Apartment 13" dungeons.] Are even the multi-player spiritual realms being affected?! Zhang Yuanqing's expression is now slightly dazed. At that moment, a sharp ringtone from his phone interrupts. It's from Li Dongze. Zhang Yuanqing answers and says, "Shi Chang." Li Dongze speaks with serious tone: "Did you go to the forum today?" "If you're referring to the sudden change in the night-wandering deity realm, then I'm already aware of it," Zhang Yuan "Don't worry too much—when the sky collapses, there are always the tall ones to bear the weight. Maybe by the time your solo realm arrives, the Taiguan Sect has already conquered these challenging dungeons. Trust the official organization," Li Dongze reassured her. With a lively, conversational tone, he added, "Of course, if you're confident in yourself, you can always take on the role of the dungeon explorer yourself." But that's no easy feat. "So, did the Captain call just to comfort me?" Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively. "Two things," Li Dongze said, his voice steady. "You're planning to enter a dungeon soon, and based on past experience, it's likely a team-based one. You're already familiar with the level-matching system. Fu Bai, the Captain, discovered that 'Jinshui Water Park' is a realm-level dungeon. To be safe, he used his authority to pull up the older version of the guide for you—treat it as a reference." He added, "Remember, it's just a reference. Since the realms have changed, if you rely too heavily on the old guide, you might end up dead." How could Fu Bai, who juggles so Zhang Yuanqing was deeply moved. Li Dongze reassured him again: "We're just being cautious. Don't feel too pressured. The number of extraordinary realm cultivators in the multiple spiritual realms is quite diverse, and the likelihood of a perfect match for 'Jinshui Water Park' is very, very low." Hopefully so. You wouldn't believe it, but my character is actually a Mage King. Zhang Yuanqing asked, "What about the second matter?" "The second one concerns Lei Yibing."
