[New world launching...]

[...]

As the text before him swiftly vanished, Gu Xi found himself transported from the Chaoyang Radiance Guild’s teleportation plaza to a stretch of emptiness.

The blast of heat and dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Gu Xi to discern his surroundings, and the soft feeling underfoot sparked a thought in his mind—it seemed he had arrived in the desert.

It appeared that this world was indeed as the teleportation gate supervisor had described, with a highly targeted nature.

However, Gu Xi now was no longer the clueless newbie from three months ago.

He had undergone a transformative change.

For instance, like now.

Gu Xi tapped the Cold Wind Staff on the ground.

"Death Incarnation!"

From within the black mist, two Death Incarnations rushed forth.

This was precisely what Gu Xi had gained during this time.

The Fox Eye Ring had been in Gu Xi’s possession for quite a while, yet he had never considered what the Power of the Mind could do.

In Gu Xi’s view, Virtual Life was merely a means to buffer himself from being killed instantly when close to death, and Virtual Mana merely a temporary supplement when his Mana was drained.

Perhaps the replenishment effect was not even as convenient as the Magic Potion Bottle hanging on his waistband.

But now things were different; if someone hadn’t pointed it out from a book, Gu Xi might never have considered that Virtual Mana and real Mana were entirely different systems.

Draining Virtual Mana didn’t impact genuine Mana, much like draining real Mana could be supplemented with Virtual Mana.

What Gu Xi was doing now was using Virtual Mana to deploy Death Incarnation.

With 200 points of Mana, Gu Xi could waste it at will.

Most importantly, all of this was conjured by the Power of the Mind.

Even if he used it ten times, twenty times, or a hundred times, Gu Xi wouldn’t feel that drained Mana weakness.

When he first entered the Sleeping Beauty Castle’s Thorn Forest, if Gu Xi had known this method, he wouldn’t have been left exhausted like a dead dog, nearly dying on the spot.

Now it was different; after realizing this, Gu Xi dared to release Death Incarnation as soon as he entered the field.

Moreover, he didn’t need to worry about wasting his Mana for nothing.

After releasing Death Incarnation, Gu Xi tapped the Cold Wind Staff on the ground again.

The Ghost Realm Battlefield fell upon the Death Incarnation.

After completing all of this, Gu Xi stood amidst the black mist raised by the Death Incarnation, looking around.

With the black mist as cover, Gu Xi could finally see the surrounding conditions clearly.

Just as he had speculated, Gu Xi had been transported into a desert.

From whichever direction he looked outwards, it was all a vast emptiness, devoid of any sign of life.

Gu Xi was somewhat surprised by the situation before him.

As he had just stepped into the Teleportation Gate, Gu Xi had still been pondering.

What kind of situation he might encounter.

His initial thought was to treat any enemy he encountered as living beings and handle them directly.

After all, for Gu Xi, killing one was the same as killing another.

But the situation here posed a problem for Gu Xi.

Was Gu Xi’s combat power formidable? Was it that he could sweep away any defiance with his troops?

Yet there was a serious issue: Gu Xi needed to find where the enemies were.

Given the desert scenario before him.

Their plan was to hide from Gu Xi.

As long as they didn’t reveal themselves, they didn’t believe Gu Xi could attack thin air.

However, Gu Xi’s mind was now extraordinarily sharp.

Just by taking one look at the situation before him, he realized the enemy’s plan.

Don’t want to reveal yourselves, huh?

Then force you out.

Gu Xi lightly pressed his right thumb against the ring on his index finger.

Mind Kill!

This wide-range, group psychic attack spell was released.

Don’t mention places far away from here; even above or beneath the ground wouldn’t escape the influence of Mind Kill.

No matter how shameless the people of this world were, they had to deploy those troops, right?

Even if they were buried underground or found a place to hibernate, they still had places to go, right?

They couldn’t simply disappear into thin air.

So, with a range of over tens of kilometers, it was enough for Gu Xi.

As he pressed his finger, Mind Kill activated directly.

Simultaneously, he immediately ordered: "Death God, keep an eye on the surroundings."

The Death Incarnation - Death God understood why Gu Xi would have him keep watch.

As Death Incarnations, they were most sensitive to the fluctuations of death. Even if not dead, as long as there was a hint of disturbance, they could see it clearly.

Now with the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon flying in the sky, the Death Incarnation - Death God was naturally the best choice.

The entity behind this world hadn’t anticipated that Gu Xi would have such a method in hand.

Capable of directly impacting such a large range.

His setup showed flaws immediately.

"I see them."

Looking at the situation before his eyes, Gu Xi smiled decisively.

Plumes of dust were already rising in the distant desert.

It seemed that the enemies affected by Mind Kill had emerged.

Gu Xi also wanted to see what this world had determined about him and what enemies it would dispatch.

With a slight smile, Gu Xi tapped the Cold Wind Staff onto the ground, and the Soul Summoning Tower rose up promptly.

This was what Gu Xi had learned in these three months.

Death City’s greatest feature was deploying things onto the battlefield, indeed.

But it wasn’t just to place city gates, nor to build city walls to block people outside.

To make the battlefield one’s home turf, that was the true meaning of Death City’s existence.

And how to make the field one’s home turf, Gu Xi hadn’t really thought about it initially.

He only considered deploying large amounts of troops or combining three city gates to form a city wall to engage in defensive battles against the enemy.

But some books in the Radiant Library had given Gu Xi different insights.

His perspective broadened a bit.

The position from which he looked became more expansive.

Now Gu Xi had only one thought about deploying city gates: close the door to trap the enemy, preventing them from escaping.
