The wellness district, a high-end apartment building near the Police Department. On a bed filled with star constellation dolls, Guan Ya sat bolt upright, her remaining drowsiness completely scattered by the sudden disturbance. "Yuan-Shi! Yuan-Shi!" she shouted several times, but received no response. Frowning, she rubbed her head, thinking how unlucky she was—how incredibly unlucky Yuan-Shi had been. For ordinary spiritual travelers, encountering an S-tier might be a lifetime rarity, or perhaps just a once-in-a-lifetime event that would last a lifetime. Yet Yuan-Shi, only recently surviving a trial mission at the Bug tier, had immediately stepped into a multi-player S-tier mission. How could he have been so unlucky? What kind of name is "Yuan-Shi Tianzun"—something most people could barely manage to hold onto? Guan Ya urgently hung up her phone and dialed Li Dongze's number. "You never call me after work, so I'm guessing something's happened," Li Dongze was about to say with his graceful, witty tone, but was abruptly cut off by Guan Ya. "Yuan-Shi has entered the dungeon—Jin-Shui Water Park." "What?!" Li Dongze suddenly raised his voice, losing all elegance. Guan Ya heard the clattering sounds coming from the phone—likely Shi Chang had quickly risen from his seat, bumped into the table, and knocked over several items. "Oh my God, oh my God..." Li Dongze murmured repeatedly, his mind now completely disoriented. Truly, what could have been feared had come to pass. In the extraordinary-stage group dungeon, an S-tier player had unexpectedly emerged. Whether it was Fu Bai, the Commander, or Li Dongze himself, the original intention behind providing Zhang Yuanqing with the older version of the guide had been to secure a solid, reliable position—prepared, safe. Yet, who could have predicted that this young man would actually enter the S-tier dungeon? At this very moment, Li Dongze found himself once again reliving the fear and anxiety he had experienced under the weight of the "Shi Ling Tunnel." Li Dongze took a deep breath, suppressing the rising concerns and restlessness in his heart, as well as the strong urge to deliver an unceremonious tirade, and spoke softly: "I know. I'm just as worried as you are, but no one can help him right now. All we can do is pray—that he isn't someone with a thin fate—and wait for dawn." The ultra-excellent stage dungeons don't take long, since level-appropriate spiritual travelers need to eat, drink, sleep, and attend to daily needs. Under ideal circumstances, they can complete the dungeon within 24 hours. If they don't, it means the travelers have perished within the dungeon. That's precisely why the forum posts claim the official travelers have already sacrificed their lives. "Understood," Guan Ya sighed, and hung up the phone. She pushed herself hard onto the soft bed, spread her legs and arms wide, forming a broad 'd' shape, staring blankly at the ceiling. The purple silk nightgown gently draped over her slender frame, highlighting the gentle, flowing contours of her body. The hem of the gown only reached her thighs, revealing her long, smooth, well-proportioned legs "Ugh, it's driving me crazy..." she murmured softly. Li Dongze hung up the phone, paused silently for a few seconds, then turned on his phone screen and dialed Fu Bai Fu's number. When they first developed the strategy, the young centurion had casually mentioned that if Yuan Shi Tian Zun entered the Spiritual Realm, he should be notified. Fu Qingyang had recently been utterly preoccupied with the Black Immortal's incident, so being able to spare time to pay attention to Yuan Shi was a clear sign of his appreciation. Fu Qingyang held his high-footed wine glass, sipped the deep red liquid, and said calmly, "The Taiyuan Sect has already informed Master Sun of the intelligence gathered from the Mountain God's Temple right away—by now, you should have been well-prepared." Ling Jun shook his head: "For the now-upgraded difficulty level of the spiritual realm, we have no solutions at all. All we can hope for is that the night-wanderers complete their quest as soon as possible and provide us with strategies. The Taiyuan Sect still has many capable talents, and among the wild night-wanderers, there are quite a few skilled ones. As for that Lady from the Three Mountain Sect, it depends on whether my father and the elders will be able to encounter her within the spiritual realm and cut off the source—or whether they can meet her at a level-matched scenario within the realm, using one spiritual realm to counter another." It is rare but not unprecedented for the bosses within the spiritual realm to move between different realms. This phenomenon has been observed by the official authorities many years ago. This is also one of the factors driving changes in the spiritual realm's quest levels. Moreover, since this phenomenon is rare, the official suspects that traversing the spiritual realm entails a considerable cost, though this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed. "After all, I'm just a beast king—night-wandering deities have nothing to do with me," Lin Jun shrugged. "Fu Qingyang coldly glanced at him: "How do you know he can't make it out alive?" Ling Jun laughed heartily: "Why don't we make a bet?" Fu Qingyang remained silent. Ling Jun didn't press further. After a moment's thought, he gave a serious analysis: "He has successfully passed through the Shu Ling tunnel and has experience in tackling S-tier challenges. According to the matching mechanism of the spiritual realm, such a traveler is more likely to be assigned to high-difficulty dungeons. However, as long as he fails a few times in group dungeons, his rating will drop. Unfortunately, Jinshui Theme Park is a death-type dungeon—there's no way out for him." Opposite the Ferris wheel, the undulating steel track rose like a dragon, and the roller coaster, empty of passengers, roared along its rails as though full of people. His gaze slowly swept across the amusement park, catching the carousel playing soft music, the vertical drop tower rising and falling steadily, and the scattered, roofed structures arranged haphazardly. He stood at the center of the plaza, beneath a deep, starry night sky. The park shimmered with radiant lights, weaving dreamlike hues; every attraction hummed with activity, music playing softly—despite being empty, it felt as though people filled every corner. Lonely yet bustling, dreamy yet eerie. "It's so beautiful..." someone murmured beside him. Turning to see, it was a young girl, not yet old, with long, straight black hair flowing down her shoulders, a delicate, oval face, and large, bright eyes reflecting the dazzling lights, like the most precious gem in the world. Though still slender, her figure carried the graceful beauty of early spring willows. In this era when hair styling has become a household affair, this pure, natural black and straight hair is truly precious. Zhang Yuqing was struck by the rare beauty of the young woman, yet didn't linger too long—he turned his attention to the other several spiritual realm travelers. His calm demeanor and confident tone seemed to inspire others, gradually calming the anxiety in everyone's hearts as he spoke gently and steadily. At such moments, a teammate with strong confidence provides a powerful sense of security. Zhang Yuanqing was naturally skilled at interpersonal interactions and knew exactly how to energize the atmosphere and build rapport. He introduced only names, never mentioning their professions, recognizing that such information could be sensitive and might cause people with strong reservations to hesitate or decline matching. As soon as Zhang Yuanqing set the pace, several others immediately joined in: "Anyone who reaches S-tier spiritual realm isn't a rookie—everyone working together will definitely make it. Nothing to worry about. I'm Hemo." The young man, with red hair, appeared slender and somewhat frail, with small, sharp eyes and slanted eyebrows, giving off a sense of impatience and roughness. This must be the Fire Master, the group thought without realizing it. The man in black pants and a black hoodie, his expression gloomy, spoke quietly, "He Bi." "I'm Xie Lingxi." The black, straight-haired young woman spoke softly, with a gentle smile, pure and sweet. The middle-aged man, reserved and quiet, raised his hand slightly, a bit hesitant, and introduced himself: "I'm sorry—I'm not a good father." What? Although the spiritual realm IDs must be all unusual, your name is simply too elegant, Mr. Elder. Zhang Yuanqing had a dozen complaints in mind, and he too looked utterly astonished at the others. "What's your name?" the young socialite, wearing sneakers and slim pants, murmured, then lifted his chin and declared loudly, "I'm Subhān, everyone can just call me Subhān." The group turned to the last companion—a mature woman, aged between thirty and thirty-five, with a full chest, a rounded backside, and a vibrant crimson lipstick paired with a soft, subtle eye makeup—elegant and alluring. Fully matured. The fire demon and Subhān kept glancing at each other, while He Bo, dressed in a black hoodie, remained solemn, quietly listening to the reserved "sorry—I'm not a good father." She smiled gently and said, "I'm Xi Shi." Her gaze, tender and affectionate, swept over Zhang Yuanqing, as if cooing and pleading: "Young sir, would you mind taking care of me?" You're older than my aunt, and you've named yourself Xi Shi—such a grand name—don't you think it might be overwhelming? Zhang Yuanqing mentally rolled his eyes, yet his face radiated confidence: "Rest assured, we're teammates, and everyone's equal." At the same time, he gained a clear impression of her style—she was a woman adept at leveraging her gender advantage. After the initial introductions, the slight awkwardness between them eased. Zhang Yuanqing seized the opportunity to take the lead and said, "Given the severe challenges of the S-tier raid, why don't we discuss our plans before the crisis fully unfolds?" The group nodded in agreement. Xi Shi's gaze lingered warmly, and she added with a delicate voice, "Is there any official team member present? I've heard that the Jinshui Water Park has experienced an anomaly, with the difficulty level upgraded. If only we had the original guidebook!"
