He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

The Odu Empire, Kalos Sri Lanka.

As the bustling crowd gathered, Xie Bai led the two little ones off the car.

Facing the slightly glaring sunlight, Xie Bai couldn't help but squint.

"Hmm...it's been a while since I've been back."

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Xie Bai felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

More than twenty days have passed since the lifting of the war order, and Kalos Sri Lanka has now fully recovered its former prosperity, even surpassing its former glory.

As the capital of the Audu Empire and the center of alchemy exchange in the world, Kalos Sri Lanka was also the most prosperous trading hub on the entire continent.

Although the recent alliance between the Audu Empire and the Northern Territory has made the diplomatic situation somewhat delicate, it has not affected commercial exchanges in the region in the slightest.

On the contrary, there are more speculators and risk-taking businessmen who have sensed the opportunity than ever before.

Compared to before, you can now see more people in various outfits walking through the streets, including many players with nicknames on their heads.

Looking at everything around them, the two little ones felt a bit curious.

Wow! This place is so much more lively than the cities we passed through before!

"On land, in water, in the sky... Hmm, why are there so many cars and boats...?"

Seeing the two little ones looking around, Xie Bai walked over and took their hands.

"Okay, there are too many people here. I'll take you to a less crowded place."

At this moment, Xie Bai had subtly altered some details of her appearance and, with the help of the Imperial Crown, reduced her presence, so none of the players passing by could recognize her.

However, due to her height, she might be mistaken for someone else's child.

After leading the two children away from the crowd, Xie Bai and his group arrived at the central square.

Unlike the solemn and spacious central square adjacent to the palace in the Northern Empire.

On one side of the central square of the Odu Empire stands a magnificent royal opera house.

With its operational mechanisms improved, the Royal Opera House is mostly leased to other outstanding performing groups.

Only on specific days will the true owner of this theater, Artorias, take the time to perform on stage.

"By the way, is Artorias still in the opera house?"

At this time, the theater was in its regular operating hours, and although there were audience members coming and going at the entrance, it was far from the bustling scene of the Atoris special performance.

Even without solo performances, Atoris will most likely be running a branch of the Wheel of Fortune underground in the opera house.

Thinking of this, Xie Bai turned to look at the two little ones.

"Would you like to take a look around the opera house first? Or would you like to see somewhere else first... um?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Bai was already alone.

In the instant she turned her head, the two little ones who had been standing beside her had vanished.

Xie Bai was taken aback at first, then a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"He went out to play by himself...that's good."

Xie Bai wasn't too alarmed by the two kids' unauthorized actions.

Relying on the void power attached to the bracelet, Xie Bai could clearly sense the location and status of the two little ones at this moment, so he didn't need to worry too much about them getting lost.

Besides, no matter what, the two little ones are still the dignified Twin Gods of Time and Space.

Even outside the chaotic land, where they cannot fully exert their power over time and space, they still possess the stats of true gods.

In this era before the gods have fully awakened, their very existence is a near-absolute guarantee of safety.

If it weren't for the two little ones' childlike nature, Xie Bai would probably worry that they might try to conquer the world.

"It's good to let them explore on their own. We can see what interesting things we find along the way and buy them as gifts."

Xie Bai was in a good mood as he made his plans, while trying to pinpoint the location of the two little ones.

"Traveling together is fine... wait a minute, this direction... how did it lead us outside the city?"

……

Outside the city, in a temporarily cleared construction area.

A charred crater, over thirty meters in diameter and several meters deep, was clearly visible. The crater walls still bore traces of intense heat, and a faint smell of burning lingered in the air.

A group of alchemists stood around the pit, their faces solemn.

"Um... Chief, would you like to go back to the workshop and rest for a bit? You've been working continuously for almost a week now, leading the underground magic train project."

"Yes, Chief, your health is the most important thing. If you collapse from exhaustion, the project's progress will be affected."

"If all else fails, remote guidance is just as good; we can handle the on-site investigation and data recording."

Edward, who was in the center, seemed somewhat sullen in the face of the advice from the alchemists around him.

After his teacher, former Chief Alchemist Roland, stepped down, he took over the position at Orion's behest.

As the chosen one on the alchemist's side, his theoretical expertise and innovative thinking in alchemy are beyond doubt.

However, while fate bestowed upon him talent, it also placed a curse upon him according to the rules of alchemy.

Any alchemy process that he personally handles, no matter how well prepared or how precise the steps, has a 50% chance of failing in various unexpected ways.

Therefore, Edward adjusted his work mode when planning the construction of the underground magical train.

He was only responsible for the core design, theory, and overall guidance, while all the specific refining, assembly, and debugging processes were handled by other excellent alchemist teams.

This strategy initially proved highly effective, and the project progressed smoothly.

The underground network of magical trains that connects the empire's major cities at astonishing speeds has gradually moved from blueprints into reality.

In theory, in the future, it will only take a few minutes to travel from Sri Lanka to Northgard in the north.

And then, today.

It was during this final trial operation and acceptance phase that something went wrong.

"Why is it that just because I was conducting a test drive and didn't even touch the control panel, it still caused such a low-probability event as an energy chaos explosion?"

If he were the only one who got into trouble, then it wouldn't matter.

However, he was not the only passenger on this trial run.

Considering the train's operational stability under different loads, he specifically issued a recruitment notice for trial rides within the city, promising a generous reward of two thousand gold coins.

The number of applicants was very high, but he noticed that almost all of them were the "dead people" that Teacher Roland had mentioned to him.

A group of strange humans who are unaffected by fate, can be resurrected after death, and whose behavior and logic often deviate from those of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Edward subconsciously looked at the group of players who had just dispersed.

They were lively and energetic, showing no signs of being stunned by the train explosion.

"I tested it! That push just now felt like my soul was about to leave my body! It was exhilarating!"

"It's way more thrilling than those deadly roller coasters at amusement parks! It was totally worth it!"

"Getting 2,000 gold coins for free, this is amazing! I have to praise them for it!"

"Um...a few of my brothers got blown up and had to go back to the city. Can I collect their money for them?"

Looking at this group of energetic players, Edward's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

"Fortunately... these people without a life are indeed as the teacher said, willing to try almost any task as long as the reward is reasonable. Even after such a serious accident, not a single one of them complained or held anyone accountable..."

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the group of players and landed on two small figures in the middle.

Edward was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"Speaking of which... were there two children among this group of undead test drivers...?"
