Huh? What do you mean your mother is one of the seven deadly sins?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia nodded subconsciously, still reeling from the shock of the news. Liu Ruyan, seeing Lin Xia, also said softly:

"Xia, rest here for a while. Mom will go and prepare some things for you and will be back soon."

Lin Xia did not refuse.

He definitely needs some space to process these shocking news reports.

Liu Ruyan's figure disappeared silently into the swirling shadows deep within the palace.

Lin Xia was left alone in the vast palace, while outside the window, the light and shadows of the abyss rolled silently.

Lin Xia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Now is not the time to think about this; there are more important things to do—his fellow countrymen who have come to this hell just like him.

With a thought, a semi-transparent blue light screen appeared before Lin Xia's eyes.

My finger hesitated for a moment, but I still clicked on the icon below that looked like a chat application.

Instantly, a noisy, chaotic group chat interface filled with despair and fear popped up.

Countless messages scrolled by frantically, so fast that they were almost invisible.

[Wang Qiang: Help! I'm in a dilapidated temple full of skeletons! They think they've spotted me! They're banging on the door!]

[Li Sisi: Location: Edge of the Rotten Swamp. Anyone nearby? My leg is injured, I can't run! Things are crawling out of the mud!]

[Zhang Wei: I'm doomed! I'm trapped in a dead end by a bunch of dog-headed monsters! They're drooling! Does anyone know what to do?!]

[Zhao Min: I just evaded a patrol of Blood Demons, and almost got caught. This godforsaken place is full of eyes!]

[Fang Chao: Haha, let's all die! Let's all die together! There's no way out anyway!]

[Liu Fang: Don't panic! Stay calm! I've found an abandoned cellar near Graystone Town. It's safe for now. Anyone nearby, please try to get here! DM me for the exact coordinates!]

[Wang Wen: Received! Sister Liu Fang, hang in there! I'm not far away, I'll try to reach you!]

Each message was like a cold knife, cutting into Lin Xia's nerves.

He could imagine the terror and despair on the faces of his peers on the other side of the screen.

This was more direct and brutal than what he had seen with his own eyes in Soto.

There was no numbness, only a desperate struggle.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, edited a message, and sent it out.

[Lin Xia: I have obtained some crucial information about this world. If you still have the item "Letter," please be sure to transmit what I am about to say back to Earth word for word!]

This message acted like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, briefly halting the frenzied scrolling of the screen.

A few seconds later, the information stream exploded again:

[Wang Qiang: What information?! Tell me quickly!]

[Zhang Wei: Boss! Help! Quick!]

[Zhao Min: Are you sure? What news is so important?]

[Liu Fang: Lin Xia, you speak! We're all listening!]

Without hesitation, Lin Xia edited and sent the core information her mother had told her in the most concise language.

Lin Xia:

1. This is not an ordinary secret realm, but a complete world. It may be called differently, but it is essentially the same.

2. The key to success: Survive for a full year, then return to Earth for a day to rest, after which you will be forced to return.

3. How to complete the game: Hunt down a deity, seize his divine status, and take his place!

4. Humanity faces a difficult situation, but not all demons are absolutely evil.

After the message was sent, the group chat fell into an even deeper silence.

It seemed that everyone was stunned by this overwhelming and unbelievable information.

A few seconds later, a tidal wave of doubt and disbelief surged forth:

[Wang Qiang: ...The God of Hunting? Replacing the divine position? Lin Xia, are you...are you sure you're not mistaken? Where did you get this news?!]

[Li Sisi: Surviving for a year only to return for one day? What kind of level is this? This is practically long-term exile! Is this source reliable?]

[Zhao Min: Lin Xia, this information is...too shocking. Where did you get it? This concerns everyone's lives!]

[Liu Fang: Lin Xia, it's not that I don't believe you, but this news... is too shocking. We need to know the reliability of the source!]

Lin Xia pursed her lips as she looked at the constant stream of questions popping up on the screen.

He knew it would be hard for people to believe immediately.

Lin Xia hovered her finger over the screen for a few seconds, then, as if she had made up her mind, quickly sent another message.

[Lin Xia: The source is absolutely reliable. My mother told me herself. She's a transmigrator, and now she's... the Succubus Queen of the seventh level of the Abyss.]

The moment the message was sent, the entire group chat interface seemed to be paused.

The scroll bar has completely stopped moving.

A full ten seconds passed before a lone message, filled with shock and bewilderment, floated up shakily:

[Wang Qiang: ...? ? ? !!! Lin Xia, what did you just say? What do you mean... your mother is a succubus queen?!]

Immediately afterwards, the information stream exploded again with even greater ferocity:

[Li Sisi: Holy crap?!]

[Zhang Wei: Am I hallucinating from blood loss?! A succubus queen?! Your mother?!]

[Zhao Min: ...Lin Xia, are you serious? This...this joke has gone too far!]

[Fang Chao: Boss! I need to latch onto the Queen's coattails!]

[Wang Wen: Brother Lin! Father Lin! Have your mother send a succubus to save us! We can't hold on any longer!]

Looking at the screen's suddenly distorted art style and all sorts of outrageous names, Lin Xia's lips twitched, feeling both amused and exasperated.

[Lin Xia: My mom just left to run some errands. When she gets back, I'll ask her immediately to see if we can get a succubus to meet you. But I can't guarantee it will work; this world has its rules, and she has her limitations.]

Lin Xia paused for a moment, then her tone became serious:

[Lin Xia: Before we receive definitive information, I urge you, especially those who still have a letter, to prioritize sending back the core information I just mentioned! This is the most important thing! Only when the country knows the truth can it make more effective preparations! Survive and bring the message back!]

The group chat was quiet for a moment.

The desperate cries and chaotic pleas for help seemed to be somewhat overshadowed by this heavier mission.

[Wang Qiang: ...Understood. I've noted the information down; I'll send it once it's safer. Lin Xia, I'm counting on you!]

[Li Sisi: Received. I'll try to send the message. Lin Xia, please!]

[Liu Fang: Okay! Message recorded. Lin Xia, thank you! And... thank you, Mom!]

[Zhang Wei: Boss! I...I'll try my best to hold on! Waiting for your news!]

[Zhao Min: Understood. Information is crucial. Lin Xia, take care!]

Seeing the orderly responses and hopeful messages finally appearing on the screen, Lin Xia's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He closed the group chat interface, leaned back on the soft starlight carpet, and wearily rubbed his temples.

Next, it's up to Mom...
