Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Chu Yang's domain, [Causal Alternation], was still there, but he could no longer see the subsequent causal lines.

Because just as he broke free from the influence of "The Word of God," the background music behind him stopped.

"The residual effect of the domain [Words of God] - [Divine Restriction] triggered, the spiritual power behind you is sealed for 30 seconds."

The background music stopped, and the mysterious rhythm within Chu Yang's body ceased.

His life ended along with it.

"God Number One has unleashed [True Divine Power - Death Decree] upon you; you are dead..."

When life ends, the cause and effect chain naturally disappears.

When Chu Yang awoke in the combat pod, he felt utterly exhausted and mentally drained.

It was as if they had been fighting tirelessly for months.

He had originally planned to continue copying sword techniques from Wan Jian, but now he had no choice but to leave and rest for a while.

He lay back in the chair, with the matchmaker, whom Azi had summoned, behind him.

"Master! Let me tell you, the massage technique that the matchmaker learned from the video is amazing! You have to trust Azi, Azi wouldn't lie to you..."

Chu Yang, who originally just wanted to lie down for a while, ended up becoming the second person to experience the matchmaker's massage technique.

The first one, of course, is Little Azi.

Hmm, I must say, it's quite...comfortable...

Although the matchmaker's massage skills were rather clumsy, her soft, boneless hands could make anyone feel relaxed and comfortable with just a few kneads.

Chu Yang closed his eyes, his mind still replaying the battle with God No. 1.

Although he still lost the fight, he only lasted 10 seconds.

However, the gains during that period were exceptionally large.

The most obvious benefit was that his understanding of the "Cause and Effect Heavenly Dao" increased from 20% to 30%.

Through that peculiar line of cause and effect, Chu Yang finally realized that his previous understanding of cause and effect was still one-sided.

At least in terms of time, cause and effect is not simply a relationship between "cause" and "effect".

Cause can determine effect, and effect can also determine cause.

Then, what impressed Chu Yang the most was the sword intent that appeared out of nowhere.

Although this sword move generated by sword intent failed to become Chu Yang's new skill, nor did it generate a sword in his sword domain.

However, it gave Chu Yang some guidance.

It turns out that the combination of [Sword Heart Clarity] and [True Sight] can not only copy the effects of skills and domains, but also simulate divine powers and the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, Chu Yang had a guess.

Perhaps, sword intents can be generated not only by copying, but also by constructing them themselves.

Otherwise, how could Chu Yang, who had not yet come into contact with supernatural powers or the Heavenly Dao that was the opposite of the [Heavenly Dao of Death], have been able to perform that kind of sword move out of thin air?

In short, the red talent [Sword Heart Clarity] is clearly more mysterious than Chu Yang imagined!

Finally, what also caught Chu Yang's attention was that bottle of [Red and White River Water].

Chu Yang took out the bottle from his pocket.

Items consumed in the [Extreme Battle Room] can all be reset.

Money is acceptable, and so is a broken bottle.

Chu Yang recalled his experience in the domain of God No. 1 and speculated that the key to breaking through God No. 1's domain should lie in this bottle of [Red and White River Water].

"It seems the power contained within this river is quite formidable..."

Thinking of this, Chu Yang's eyes once again connected with Wan Tong outside the small world.

Because time in the small world is 10 times that outside, the Doorkeeper and Zhou Jinyan from the Academy in Silent Town have not yet arrived at the safe zone.

Outside the small world, Lu Xiaoyan, Zhou Jinyan, and others were approaching the safe zone.

Suddenly, Chu Yang teleported in front of everyone.

"Chu Yang?!"

"Wow~ that startled me."

"..."

The people pushing open the door assumed that Chu Yang had also come along to submit his mission.

Chu Yang walked straight up to Zhou Jinyan and asked, "Do you have any more containers on you that can hold the water from the Red and White River?"

Zhou Jinyan nodded, somewhat curiously asking, "Yes, there is. But why are you gatekeepers also researching the [Red and White River Water]?"

Chu Yang was too lazy to explain, so he casually replied, "Mm."

Zhou Jinyan was not stingy at all, and gave all five of her remaining empty bottles to Chu Yang.

Firstly, the bottle wasn't anything special, and secondly, he had learned from several doormen along the way that Chu Yang had killed all the ghosts in the town.

Even disciples of the Ninth Academy have to be careful when facing such a killing god.

Then, Chu Yang carried the five empty bottles and teleported to the Red and White Riverbank.

Seeing this, the other people who pushed open the door gathered together and discussed:

"What's he going to do with all that Red and White River water? The mission only requires one bottle, right?"

"I don't know... Could submitting more bottles increase my passing score?"

"When you put it that way, it actually seems quite possible!"

"..."

However, when several people pushed open the door and tried to ask Zhou Jinyan for a bottle, they were told that there were no empty bottles left.

Several people who pushed open the door expressed deep regret, while also remarking:

"As expected of a master! We didn't even think of such a detail!"

"Indeed, what a pity..."

Little did they know that the expert in their eyes had never even considered handing over a few more bottles of [Red and White River Water] to improve his mission score.

Even Chu Yang himself was unsure whether the [Red and White River Water] truly had any value.

He simply habitually doesn't let go of any possibility of improving his strength.

Back in the small world, Chu Yang entrusted the five bottles of [Red and White River Water] to A Zi for safekeeping.

Under the matchmaker's massage, Chu Yang felt much more relaxed.

A few hours later, Chu Yang woke up in the armchair.

He first used the [Tianji Pavilion] to perform a divination of celestial secrets.

This time he obtained information about a new combination of relics.

【Master and Servant United】 = 【Master-Servant Contract (Purple)】 + 【Decree of Law (Pink)】 + 【Resonance Decree (Pink)】

The Master-Servant Contract is a summoning relic.

Therefore, Chu Yang speculated that this set of relics should all be related to summoning.

Although Chu Yang did not intend to build his domain around summoning this time, he did not mind completing this relic combination because he could equip unlimited relics.

Moreover, although Chu Yang is not a summoner, the existence of his contracted spirit means that summoning relics provide him with a significant boost.

After noting down the information about this set of relics, Chu Yang headed back to the [Extreme Battle Room].

He spent more than three hours copying seven new sword skills from Wan Jian.

The reason why Chu Yang only copied half of the skill in the same amount of time was because he spent the same amount of time copying it.

This is because the opponents in the battle room are not controllable.

Their only thought was to kill the challenger.

Therefore, Wan Jian will only use his strongest and most suitable combat skills.

He naturally wouldn't use some of the trashy sword moves he created on the spot.

Of course, this "trash" is just Wan Jian's opinion; in fact, every one of Wan Jian's sword moves is not weak.

About twenty hours later, Chu Yang extracted all the sword techniques he could learn from Wan Jian.

At this point, Chu Yang had mastered seventy-two sword techniques.
