After hearing just a little bit, Gu Xi knew that no matter what the reason was, there were probably some ancient gods pushing things behind the scenes.

They especially love to do things like this with those ancient gods who only have a bad name and no potential to rise to the top.

Even if they don't get any benefit from it, they are willing to do so.

I have no idea what they were thinking.

But if that's the case, then this matter seems worth considering.

At this moment, Gu Xi fell silent, gently tapping his thigh with his finger as he pondered.

After a long while, Gu Xi turned to ask Li Yufang.

"Yu Fang, didn't Eve report a 'Death Cornerstone' plan before?"

"Yes."

Li Yufang immediately said that as Gu Xi's secretary, there were some things that Gu Xi might not remember clearly, but Li Yufang remembered them perfectly.

"After hearing about the situation of the cornerstone, Eve applied to have a special underworld cornerstone or death cornerstone made for our underworld."

However, because the adults' plans haven't been finalized yet, and because we've only heard of the Cornerstone and haven't actually encountered it, this matter has been kept under wraps.

"Saya, how long will it take to find out about the Cornerstone matter?"

Gu Xi then turned to ask Shaya.

"I need to establish a new intelligence organization. Judging from the manpower allocation and other aspects, it will take at least five days to complete."

"I'll give you two weeks to find out what's going on here. If we have the chance, we'll also take down a cornerstone to use as experimental material."

At times, Gu Xi is quite responsible in his work.

Once he determines that something is in his best interest, he does it without hesitation, and he makes arrangements immediately.

Gu Xi hadn't considered the matter of the foundation since he hadn't had the opportunity before.

After all, before anyone had ever built a foundation stone, Gu Xi didn't even know what a foundation stone was, let alone how to replicate one.

But now that the cornerstone was right in front of him, Gu Xi made a decision immediately.

At this moment, Li Yufang asked instead, "My lord, Eve's schedule is already full."

Li Yufang was never worried about Gu Xi's arrangements.

As a secretary, Li Yufang was very clear about her position. No matter what Gu Xi said, she would just make the arrangements without having to consider whether Gu Xi's arrangements were reasonable.

Those are things that subordinates do.

Li Yufang only needed to consider whether the people assigned to him had the time and whether they could complete their work on schedule.

If it were anyone else, Li Yufang wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

But it's different for Eve.

Eve is, after all, a contracted undead under Gu Xi's command, and most importantly, Eve has been doing a lot of research lately.

Her time was taken up every day, and these studies were the most pressing issues that Gu Xi needed to address right now, and she wouldn't have much time for them for a long time to come.

"It's alright. The cornerstone is Eve's idea. Once the samples of the cornerstone arrive, she will make time for it herself."

Gu Xi calmly said something.

He then stood up and said, "Is everything alright now? If not, I'll be going now."

As Gu Xi spoke, he kept looking around.

He was observing whether any major unexpected events were about to occur.

If not, then this whole thing is over.

None of these things are big.

Gu Xi looked around for a moment and found that nothing serious had happened.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Gu Xi's face. This is really good.

Now he can finally go to the City of Shadows to relax.

But Gu Xi never expected that something big was about to happen.

Rather, the incident did not occur within Gu Xi's territory.

For more than a year, Gu Xi had been constantly on guard against White Fate causing trouble, so he continuously strengthened his several underworld locations every day.

Gu Xi placed various methods targeting the Fate Line in several important locations in his underworld.

This includes the crucial city of Alydovi.

The Jade Palace, located above the city of Alydovi, is of paramount importance.

Among the 365 celestial pavilions in Baiyujing, there are pavilions that can counteract the influence of fate.

Now it has been strengthened to the point that it is impossible to perform divination or exert psychological influence.

Gu Xi here is mostly influenced by instinct; he either has nothing to do or everything is concentrated in one place.

Normally, no one can outwit Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi, seeing that nothing serious had happened, went to the City of Yin, and that changed the situation somewhat.

In the City of Yin, the thing Gu Xi had been worried about happened.

At this moment, Gu Xi is relaxing at a unique venue in Yin City, enjoying the city's nightlife.

This place is where Gu Xi usually frequents.

Here, guests are considered the most distinguished.

When Gu Xi comes here, he is usually given a private room.

But today's situation seems a little different.

Gu Ximing came as usual, but there was no private room available.

Normally, Gu Xi would have a Plan B in this situation; if all else fails, he could just go somewhere else to have fun.

After all, Gu Xi had a lot of membership cards, not just for one or two places.

However, Gu Xi was stopped by the management personnel here.

This guy called Fei Ge has some connections.

He always made good arrangements for Gu Xi whenever she came to visit.

Today, he stood before Gu Xi with considerable politeness.

"Brother Gu, I'm so sorry, but someone booked the whole place today and reserved all the private rooms. There aren't any rooms left."

"It's alright. It's normal for you to have big business. It's still early. I'll just go check out other places."

Gu Xi didn't mind Fei Ge's politeness; after all, the point was to have fun, so it didn't matter where they went.
"No, Brother Gu, you can't have any fun anywhere now."

Today, most of the people in the surrounding five streets have been booked by this big shot.

Almost all of them were gathered in our area.

Five streets? That's huge! What happened?

"Brother Gu, you don't know?"
Professor Li from the University of the Underworld received the red robes, and his disciples and descendants all arrived, ready to vie for the right of succession.

"Red dress? When did that happen? I've never heard of it."

When Gu Xi heard "red dress," he thought it meant that the red dress nurtured in the Yin Capital had been completed again.

How come he doesn't remember such a thing?

"They're not the ones raised in the Twenty-Eight Scenic Spots; they're said to have been brought out from the game."

Why am I not so lucky?

I heard that Professor Li started out as just a teaching assistant, but as soon as he got his hands on the red dress, before even having a dress-showcase, he was promoted to professor.
