"You obtained the Divine Seal of the Asura Path?" Grandmother looked at Xu Lang and suddenly spoke up.

"Mhm, Lord Naraku thinks highly of me, told me not to disgrace the Asura Path outside." Xu Lang raised his arm, and as he willed it, a blood-red insignia slowly became clear.

[Divine Seal: Asura Path]

[Type: Hundred Thousand Vassals Divine Seal]

[Divine Lord: Asura Path]

[Effect: Receives the favor of the Asura Path, significantly increases talent for slaughter and combat, grows rapidly amidst killing, the Asura Path will issue missions, completing them will earn rewards from the Divine Lord]

"Not bad, this Divine Seal is much more useful than the ones from those Yin Marshals." Grandmother nodded in approval.

Seeing that Grandmother was in a talkative mood, Xu Lang's mind stirred, and he immediately asked, "May I ask, Grandmother, what is a Vassal Divine Seal? Are there differences between Divine Seals?"

As he spoke, he stepped closer and offered a box of high-quality rouge.

[Ghost Rouge: Level Fifteen Excellent cosmetic item, deeply loved by female demons, ghosts, and monsters]

This was seized from Madame Eight Chi.

As for Grandmother's hobbies, Xu Lang had actually already probed some information using his Nightmare Eye.

"Don't do such things in the future!" Grandmother's expression turned stern, and with a flick of her sleeve, she took the Ghost Rouge, saying, "So-called Divine Seals are marks given by gods to their vassals, similar to ordination. From now on, besides being a player, you have an additional layer of identity: 'Chosen One'."

"Chosen One?" Hearing these two words, Xu Lang immediately had an impression in his mind.

Rainy Night Blade had said that Chosen Ones are a powerful group distinct from players. As long as they complete missions from their Divine Lord, they can obtain supernatural powers.

Divine Followers walk the Blood Mist World without needing the protection of dormitory buildings because they have gods backing them.

And the Gluttony Demon also seemed to be a Chosen One.

Grandmother nodded and said:

"It seems you've heard the name Divine Follower."

"The divine majesty of gods also varies in strength, which can be seen to some extent from the number of vassals. Divine Lords with a million vassals are all top-tier Divine Lords. A hundred thousand is next, ten thousand is lesser, and so on."

"And there are also differences between Divine Lords themselves. The Asura Path belongs to the most special category, being a collective great consciousness, without a human form or divine image."

"And it's much stronger than the Ten Great Yin Marshals. The divine power of the Ten Great Yin Marshals can at most bless a little over ten thousand vassals."

A million vassals? That's probably enough to arm-wrestle with the Dorm Survival Game itself!

Xu Lang was somewhat curious. "Then is the dormitory building a Divine Lord? Are we vassals of the Dorm Survival Game?"

Grandmother was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "Our Netherworld's assessment of the Dorm Survival Game is 'unknowable'."

So it seems the Building still has some strength, probably stronger than the Netherworld.

Xu Lang felt that understanding so much now was a bit too early. Better to fight the Building Wars first, then consider matters of external warfare...

Wait!

What external warfare? Why is my mind full of aggressive thoughts!

"Peace, peace, peace!!!"

Xu Lang calmed his emotions and suddenly asked, "By the way, Grandmother, do you know about the Yin-Yang Ghost Official Sequence?"

"Yin-Yang Ghost Official?" Grandmother frowned, taking out a manual from her sleeve. "Let me see, it seems there's a record here."

Xu Lang's pupils contracted sharply. "Grandmother, where did you get this manual?"

What Grandmother was holding was precisely a Sequence Encyclopedia, and its completeness was remarkably high.

"Fished out from the Waters of Forgetfulness." Grandmother flipped the manual to a certain page. "It seems to be right here."

Xu Lang leaned his head over to look.

[Yin-Yang Ghost Official——]

[B-100 Sequence, masters the power of life and death, can traverse the realm of the unseen and the material world. Employment condition 'Resurrected' is extremely difficult to achieve, requiring genuine death once, with personality and memory completely severed from the former life. Sequence Object requirement is simple, only one needed]

[Three Sequence Objects have appeared before: 'Yin-Yang Jade Pendant', 'Heavenly Official Bestows Blessing Hat', 'Black Sickle']

[Follows the three ironclad laws of Sequence Power Aggregation, Sequence Power Indestructibility, and Sequence Power Conservation. After the death of the previous Yin-Yang Ghost Official, the Sequence Object is highly likely to re-aggregate in three places with similar characteristics: the Netherworld, the Plains of the Dead, and the Void Soul Sea]

[The Yin-Yang Ghost Official has had three Sequence Holders. The average Sequence Object aggregation time is currently unknown]

[First Sequence Holder: 'Addy Kenmand', owner of an antique shop in the Black Sea World, relied on the Sequence to survive for a millennium, later died unjustly]

[Second Sequence Holder: 'Chen Ke', painter from the Decaying World, after Sequence went out of control, transformed into a Soul Butterfly, died completely]

[Third Sequence Holder: 'Ghostghostghostghostghost', Dorm Survival Game player, ventured deep into the Blood Mist World, interfered with by the aura of 'Taixu', Sequence went out of control, died completely]

[Summary: It is speculated that the Yin-Yang Ghost Official Sequence abilities are 'Soul Transaction', 'Travel through the Underworld/Negative Energy World', 'Judgment, Apprehension, Utilization of Souls'. Currently, no one has developed it to the 'Awakening' stage, upper limit unknown. If members of the Merchant Association encounter a Resurrected, they must bring them back to headquarters. The Yin-Yang Ghost Official is extremely useful for exploring special secret realms, potential assessment is high]

Xu Lang's expression became exceptionally grave. "Grandmother, can you see who the author of this manual is?"

"This should be a very capable person." Grandmother was surprisingly agreeable and flipped to the first page.

Author — Goblin Emperor · Bartholomew.

Xu Lang's mouth twitched. He had actually heard of this author from Kirby.

He was precisely the Grand Commander of the Black Market Merchants, the boss of all Black Market Merchants!

[Nightmare Eye · Sequence Encyclopedia: A magical book that every Black Market Merchant possesses, which changes in real-time with 'Editor-in-Chief' Bartholomew... Bartholomew is the Goblin Emperor...]

The Nightmare Eye stalled here for a long time. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Finally, a line of information emerged.

[Suspected S-rank Sequence 'Divine Thinker']

"S-rank Sequence?!"

Xu Lang's heart shook. The name sounded like a Sequence convenient for obtaining intelligence, no wonder Bartholomew could know such detailed information.

Also, damn that Kirby, she actually dared to sell me shoddy goods!

Clearly, there's a complete version of the Sequence Encyclopedia, yet she deliberately used a tattered handwritten copy to flip through and tempt people!

...

"Lord Kirby has arrived, managers of the Apocalypse Building, come out and welcome me immediately!" In front of the gate of a residential complex, Kirby broke through the Blood Mist and leaped down from her little cart.

She felt her nose was a bit itchy, reached out to rub it, squinted her eyes, and sized up the two players guarding the gate.

The two players were dumbfounded.

Weren't they told that Blood Mist creatures couldn't enter Safe Zones? The two of them were here to collect pioneering fees, so how did a dwarf suddenly charge in?

"What kind of monster are you!" One player raised his rifle, extremely vigilant.

"Hasn't a merchant ever come to this dormitory building of yours?" Kirby's big eyes darted around, and she suddenly chuckled. "I am the benevolent, generous, and wealthy White-Hat Merchant. Hearing that the Apocalypse Building has been unsealed, I specially came to offer congratulations!"
