Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

The moment the potion touched the scales, a strong, foul, corrosive odor suddenly appeared. Intense pain combined with itching spread throughout the entire body of the Meteor Wind Dragonborn. The pain felt like it was tearing his flesh and skin off. His severely injured body couldn't even scratch. This agonizing experience...

[Ah! You devil! You will surely be punished by the gods!]

"Hehe, if gods really exist, I think they would be very willing to let me continue to live happily. Besides, this is nothing, you're making such a fuss too early."

She took out another bottle of what looked like a precious recovery potion and sprinkled some on the dragon's head without hesitation. Soon, the deep wound healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【you!】

"I forgot to mention, I became a mage just out of interest. My real job is as an apothecary. I have plenty of these kinds of potions, so don't break down too soon, or that would be too boring." Fei Yan narrowed her eyes and a cruel smile appeared on her lips.

[You devil! You're a devil!! Kill me! Kill me!!]

……

Suddenly, Fei Yan, who was tormenting the dragon descendant, received a system message.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to player *** for defeating a Divine Beast, gaining 100 Divine Realm Points.]

"This...!" The shock made Fei Yan even forget to use the recovery potion, and the Meteor Wind Dragonborn was finally relieved during this time.

"How is this possible? Someone actually managed to erase that thing?! The entire planet must be in an uproar right now, right? No, only a select few are qualified to know about the Divine Taboo. Could it be that they've found a way to deal with it? No, I need to go back and find out who it is right now."

With its azure wings outstretched, Fei Yan transformed into a streak of azure light in the blink of an eye, soaring straight into the sky before breaking through the clouds and disappearing into the vast volcanic crater.

……

Just as Fei Yan had guessed, the world announcement shocked players across the entire planet.

Because world announcements are very rare to see; the last one was decades ago.

Moreover, the term "divine taboo" has now been fully exposed to the public eye.

Social media, press conferences, expert lectures.

For a time, everyone was talking about God's taboo.

The most popular post was...

So, what exactly is divine taboo?

This post gained a billion views in just a few minutes.

The comments below were also plentiful.

"Holy crap, I've looked through the comments section and not a single person knows anything about it. Could this be some new species of monster?"

"If that were all, it might be possible, but don't forget, brother upstairs, this is a world announcement. Events that can be listed on this are extremely important to the entire 'God Realm'."

"You're right. I suspect this so-called Divine Taboo is not only a new monster, but it's also ridiculously strong. I wonder which demigod from our Federation killed it."

"Yes, it's a pity that the name was hidden, otherwise I would definitely go and pay my respects to that big shot."

Meanwhile, the mysterious tycoon they were talking about was fast asleep at home, much to everyone's surprise.

When Chu Ci opened her eyes again, the curtains were automatically drawn open, and the sun was slowly rising from the east.

The voice of the smart home assistant also rang out at that moment.

[Master, your breakfast is ready. Also, Lu Ze, the second owner of this villa, is preparing to visit you today. According to the location, he is already on his way and is expected to arrive in half an hour.]

"What? My son is coming? Why didn't he message me?"

Half an hour later, Chu Ci, having finished washing up and eating, stood at the door looking into the distance.

He could hear the roar of the sports car from a great distance, and a silvery-white light suddenly burst into his field of vision.

"Hey? You unfilial son, why are you waiting for me at the door? I thought you were still asleep." Lu Ze saw Chu Ci the moment he got out of the car.

"Stop talking nonsense and come in first to talk."

"OK."

The two went to the second-floor balcony again, which faced the lake. Chu Ci had already prepared a round table and two chairs there.

As soon as the two sat down, Lu Ze approached them with a mysterious look on his face.

"You know about what happened yesterday, right?"

"Huh? What happened? Did something big happen yesterday?"

Now it was Chu Ci's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Wait, didn't you receive that world announcement? Every player should have received it, right? Did you actually use up all four lives a long time ago, which is why you didn't receive the message?"

World Announcement? Wait, world announcement!

Chu Ci's face instantly froze, and Lu Ze nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"That's right, that's a normal reaction. You were so calm just now that I thought you were the one who made the announcement, hahaha." Lu Ze teased Chu Ci, patting him on the shoulder.

. . .

Could this guy have actually awakened some kind of prophetic ability? How could he guess that?

However, it was clear that the other party was just joking.

"Chu Zi, now that you know about that world announcement, wouldn't you like to know what this so-called divine taboo is?"

Lu Ze's expression suddenly turned very serious, and he even stopped calling him a rebellious son.

Dude, aren't you forcing me to play along? Can I just say I don't want to know?

"Tell me about it." (Serious face)

Lu Ze quickly approached, looking mysterious.

"According to my sources, that thing doesn't seem to be a monster from 'Divine Realm.' It's said to have come from outside the world."

...one second...two seconds...

"Hmm? And then?" Chu Ci couldn't help but remind Lu Ze when he stopped.

"And then? What else? That's all I know. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone. Apparently, this is news that the Federation itself ordered to be blocked. Only you and I dare to tell you."

"Um... really? Then thank you so much."

"Hey, we're brothers, no need to be so polite. By the way, the most important thing I wanted to do this time was to invite you to join me in the next two-player dungeon. I have a breakthrough quest that requires something from there, but the drop rate for that thing is ridiculously low. You can't submit the ones sold on the market; you have to get them yourself."

"Don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger. Just follow behind me and gain experience. Everything else that drops is yours, I only want that one thing."

"By the way, here's the travel expense to Winterfell, a total of 20,000 gold coins. I've transferred it to you. After all, you might have to go back to Dawn City, so it's better to transfer it all at once."

Well, since you've already called me a brother, what else can I say? I have to keep up!

Perfect timing! Abyss Hunter Remodeling also needs to be recharged, and Little Silver's level needs to be increased. Wherever we go is fine, and we can also help our eldest son farm those so-called low-drop-rate items. It's a win-win-win situation!

As for Mina, I've already told her, and it doesn't feel right to go back so early, so I'll just wait a few more days.
