Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Upon returning to a safe environment, a surge of intense fatigue washed over Spirit.

The consecutive high-intensity battles and the significant loss of Essence Blood had left Spirit in a poor state, and even leveling up did not dispel the exhaustion.

He needed a thorough rest.

"Thud."

Spirit collapsed onto the bed, and after taking some restorative artifacts, he eased himself into sleep and quickly fell into a deep slumber.

...

He slept for a full two days and nights.

With Spirit’s current level of life evolution, what he called sleep wasn’t a typical deep sleep devoid of perception of the outer world, but a state that maximized the recovery of bodily fatigue.

"Refreshing!"

Spirit stretched lazily after a good sleep, feeling rejuvenated and clear-headed.

Although his Golden Embryo Origin and Essence Blood were far from fully restored, at least his mental fatigue had significantly dissipated.

At this moment, he sensed the information entity within Abyss City frantically sending him reminders.

"I guess the government people were pretty anxious while I slept these two days." Spirit smiled slightly.

Spirit specifically chose the area near the camp when he landed and only left the Corpse Demon World at ease after noticing Qin Xiang’s arrival.

Otherwise, if he had left just before Liang Zhan and others were killed by the local creatures of the Corpse Demon World, he would have been in despair.

He didn’t contact Qin Xiang immediately to give them enough time to report to their superiors and prepare all sorts of plans.

This made it easier for Spirit to ask for benefits.

With a thought, Spirit split a trace of his consciousness, and with the familiar sensation of space-time travel, Spirit’s consciousness quickly entered Abyss City.

"Chen, you’re finally here."

As Spirit opened his eyes, a voice sounded beside his ear.

Spirit looked up to see Qin Xiang and Vengeance standing tall before him.

"Seniors." Spirit saluted them.

Vengeance snorted softly, seemingly displeased with his tardiness, but didn’t say much, directly asking, "Did you bring back people from the Corpse Demon World? Did you pass the Ancient Trials?"

"Yes."

Spirit nodded decisively.

Although they had expected it, Qin Xiang and Vengeance couldn’t help but exchange glances, showing expressions of shock after hearing Spirit’s affirmative response.

"I didn’t expect you to actually pass." Vengeance’s voice was slightly complicated, but he quickly collected himself, nodding approvingly at Spirit. "I’ve already heard about the specifics from the people you brought back. You did very well."

"The rewards and benefits I promised you will not be forgotten."

"Thank you, senior." Spirit clasped his hands in gratitude.

"However, there’s something I’m curious about," Vengeance said.

"Please, go ahead, senior."

"Typically, the number of participants in Fierce Tier Ancient Trials is just a few hundred, with records indicating a maximum of three thousand. Why were there so many in your trial?"

Vengeance voiced his doubts.

To this, Spirit skillfully chose to feign ignorance: "Senior, I’m not sure either. I followed your instructions to select the single-player difficulty, and I was matched with this trial."

After hearing Spirit’s words, Vengeance was silent for a moment. Then, after gazing deeply at Spirit, he decided to drop the subject and instead said, "It might be because Blue Star has been delving deeper into the Abyss these years."

"In any case, you’ve done very well, far exceeding our expectations."

"After rescuing so many people at once, I think there are some things I need to discuss with you."

Seeing Vengeance’s serious expression, Spirit knew he had important matters to discuss and quickly said, "Please go ahead, senior."

"When the number of people you rescue reaches a certain level, these individual sparks will gather into a small flame, and your identity will change accordingly."

"From now on, you are no longer just an ordinary Civilization Envoy, but a——"

"Master of the Small World!"
