Chapter 361: Redo’s Gift! The Arrival of the Cult of the Plague?

TL: YYang

During this period, life was extraordinarily idle and pleasant.

Chen Bai’s time in White Emperor City surpassed that of ancient emperors in every possible way.

After all, ancient emperors, even if they sought indulgence, had to consider the judgments of history and the possibility of national collapse. However, within White Emperor City, Chen Bai had no such concerns. The city’s operations ran without any issues.

Under the suppression of his overwhelming personal strength, there was no need to worry about potential schemers.

In such circumstances, Chen Bai could do anything in White Emperor City without concern.

Besides, Chen Bai was not someone who bullied men or harassed women.

On ordinary days, he enjoyed the service of his beautiful concubines and clever maids. When in the mood, he explored various dungeons or ventured into Mount Shu. If he wanted to experience the thrill of combat, he would enter the Abyss to battle and conquer the Abyssal Lords.

If there were anything that slightly displeased Chen Bai during this time, it was two matters.

First, the daily lottery of the Golden Hand. Over the past few days, the items obtained had been rather ordinary, none as impressive as the branch of the Tree of Life he had drawn on the first day.

Second, even with the powerful drop rate boost from the Golden Hand, when Chen Bai ventured once again into the Plague Sewer—essentially his exclusive secret realm dungeon in this early stage—the rewards still failed to amaze him. Although he found some new items, their actual usefulness was average.

This undoubtedly left Chen Bai rather disappointed.

Fortunately, there had also been some good news during this time. At present, Chen Bai was in the location of that good news.

…

The 10th Layer of the Abyss.

In just over a month, the 10th Layer of the Abyss had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Within this vast world, under the purplish-red sky and upon the black earth, a city wall stretched tens of thousands of li in circumference, enclosing the central region of the 10th Layer.

This created a massive, unique city.

At the heart of this city, aside from a special area that contained the Abyssal Well, there was a massive arena spanning hundreds of thousands of square meters!

The arena boasted ten combat platforms, nine smaller ones, and one massive central platform.

Beside the arena stood a colossal statue of Baphomet, sculpted to cast its gaze over the entire arena.

The towering Minotaur God statue radiated an aura of bloodlust and savagery, perfectly complementing the killing atmosphere of the arena.

This atmosphere of violence and bloodshed harmonized beautifully with the nature of demons.

Apart from the massive arena, several succubi directed numerous demonic slaves to construct various mid-sized demonic buildings throughout the city.

Naturally, their progress was somewhat constrained by resources.

“Great Overlord, please allow us to greet you!”

Chen Bai’s presence during his patrol caught the attention of several figures.

After completing the arena’s construction, Baphomet had departed. The ones speaking now were two demigod-level succubi who were overseeing the construction of the Succubus Lodge.

These two were subordinates and citizens of Mekanshut.

Ignoring the two fawning succubi, Chen Bai focused his gaze on the vast Demon City.

Succubi were inherently alluring creatures. The two before him, as demigod-level succubi, were undoubtedly captivating.

However, with someone as stunning as Mekanshut already by his side, Chen Bai naturally had no interest in ordinary succubi.

After all, the charm of the Lord of Pleasure was the ultimate poison to any male being across the myriad worlds.

A city was not complete with just walls.

However, with the arena, the Succubus Lodge, and the Goblin Merchant Guild—three of the most critical Abyssal structures—now completed, the demonic restrictions imposed by the Abyssal rules could soon be lifted.

Once the Abyssal rules were locked in place, these demons could freely unleash their potential.

In the coming decades, Demon City would enter a period of rapid development.

At that point, the city would house multiple Demon Lords. True demonic civilization would also take root and flourish here.

Moreover, as long as the rules were adhered to and no misunderstandings arose, creatures from the myriad worlds could also visit Demon City.

This place would become the Abyss’s display of civilization to the myriad worlds.

“My dear Chen, you finally found the time to visit!”

Chen Bai arrived before the enormous Goblin Merchant Guild.

The guild not only encompassed an entire goblin commercial street but also included its headquarters and an auction house.

As such, its construction was quite complex. However, since Chen Bai had already promised Redo, there was no hesitation. Faced with Redo’s enthusiastic greeting, Chen Bai could not ignore him.

“It is reassuring to see that Lord Redo remains so full of energy!”

“Demon City will serve as the bridge of our friendship! My dear Chen, I can guarantee it!”

Looking at Redo’s determined demeanor, Chen Bai thought to himself that if the matter of the Face of Taotie ever came to light, he wondered if this Goblin God would remain as enthusiastic.

For now, though, there was no need to bring up such matters. Chen Bai smiled and replied, “The assistance you provided me before, Lord Redo, was invaluable. Offering you this small favor is nothing. In the future, Demon City will represent the Abyss, but other Abyssal planes will also be constructed in its likeness. When that time comes, I hope you won’t find it too troublesome!”

With countless trillions of demons in the Abyss, it was naturally impossible for the Goblin Merchant Guild to only exist on the 10th Layer.

“Hahaha, of course, I trust you, my dear Chen. In a few days, I’ll send a batch of gifts to celebrate the completion of Demon City! Be sure to sign for them!”

Redo had mentioned gifts before, but Chen Bai had paid little attention to them. Now that Redo brought it up again, it seemed he was serious.

However, Chen Bai had no reason to concern himself over such trivial matters. After a few more casual exchanges with Redo’s projection, Chen Bai left the Abyss feeling satisfied.

Yet as soon as he returned to White Emperor City, he received an unusual piece of news.

Five peculiar beings dressed in dark green robes had arrived in White Emperor City early that morning!

Chen Bai’s thoughts stirred. Could the followers of the Cult of the Plague, mentioned in the quest, have arrived?
