Chapter 367: Plague World! Second Profession Transfer!

TL: YYang

The Authority of the Plague—after mastering this great cauldron, Chen Bai felt an intense sense of progression, as though he had gained control over everything.

He even felt confident that he could ascend beyond his current level.

He was certain he could achieve the Emperor stage he had failed to reach in his previous life.

In this life, his achievements and growth had progressed at an astonishing pace, so fast that even he found it hard to comprehend. However, Chen Bai himself knew how much fortune and opportunity had been involved in this journey.

At the very beginning, when he faced the Cooling Incinerator, he would have undoubtedly perished had it not been for the Time Hourglass.

Later, his choices with the Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll and the Abyssal Trial had been harrowing, each one a gamble where death seemed almost certain.

Particularly the Abyssal Trial. It could be said that unlocking the Return to the Past ability of the Time Hourglass had been the sole reason he was still alive today.

As for everything else, Chen Bai had gradually grown accustomed to it all.

After carefully examining the Plague Cauldron, Chen Bai turned his attention to another object.

While neither of these two items could be considered conventional equipment, the thing before him now was even more abstract.

It resembled a teapot, yet it was bald and pitch-black, without a handle or spout. It looked more like a fully sealed bowl, peculiar beyond belief.

Yet, Chen Bai noticed that the bishops of the Cult of the Plague treated this strange black bowl with even greater caution than they had shown for the Plague Cauldron. It seemed that this bizarre object was even more precious than the cauldron.

And judging from Sarulance’s words, this was indeed the case!

“Great True God, the Plague Cauldron is the core authority of the Cult of the Plague, the very source of plague itself! But this… this is the Plague World!”

“Plague World?!”

Chen Bai froze slightly. Was this the world they had sacrificed? But if the world had already been sacrificed, how could it still exist within this bowl?!

It didn’t make any sense.

Still, Chen Bai directed the Eye of Secrets toward it.

What he saw left him stunned again.

[？？？？]
[An object containing infinite space, capable of holding everything within. It seems to harbor a unique spatial power that allows for the birth of new realms and can accommodate all things!]

The Cult of the Plague had once been the ruling force of their previous world.

Otherwise, they would not have had the power to sacrifice an entire world. As such, it was not surprising for such a vast organization to possess treasures of great value, including this SSS-Rank item.

But what was this thing?!

The “??” markers were ambiguous and mysterious. Not to mention, the Face of Taotie Chen Bai had obtained before had also been marked as “??” at first. Even now, he still didn’t fully understand what it was.

The same was true for the Time Hourglass.

However, because the Time Hourglass’s abilities had not been fully unlocked, its detailed functions remained unclear, though its general nature was evident.

Yet now, Chen Bai had come across another item, once again marked with “??.”

In other words, this object was likely something so enigmatic that even the Cosmic Will found it difficult to discern its nature.

But wasn’t its function a little too overpowered?!

Containing infinite space? Accommodating everything? Was it similar to a spatial ring?!

And it could even store an entire world?!

Such a thing—Chen Bai had never even heard of it!

Seeing Chen Bai’s astonishment, Sarulance quickly explained:

“Great True God, this object was discovered by chance in the Plague World. It does not appear to have any specific special abilities beyond its boundless spatial capacity. Other than that, it has no other notable features.

After the world was sacrificed, a small portion of the world and its essence remained, which was then placed inside this World Jar.

Of course, ‘World Jar’ is merely the name we gave it. We do not know its true name.”

Chen Bai placed his hand on the jar, but even with his strength, he found it difficult to move. Compared to the Plague Cauldron, this small jar was far heavier than he had expected.

Shaking his head, Chen Bai finally said,

“Keep this thing safe for now. When we open up the ‘Plague Garden’ in the Abyss, we might find a way to integrate it into that layer of the world!”

This item didn’t seem particularly useful to him, so Chen Bai dismissed it.

However, the Abyss could indeed devour and fuse with worlds—a fact that was absolutely true.

Chen Bai was eager to see what would happen when the Abyss, under his rule, consumed and integrated a new world. Would the Abyss’s source power increase? Would he gain new profession skills?

It had to be said, the legacy and wealth of the Cult of the Plague were unimaginably vast.

In addition to equipment, tools, skill books, and various rare items, there was also an immense amount of knowledge about plague-related powers, along with insights and experiences to further master the Authority of the Plague.

The time that followed was an eye-opening experience for Chen Bai.

As for the tools, equipment, and skills, Chen Bai left them untouched.

They were now his possessions; he could use them whenever he needed. At the moment, he had no need to rely on them for personal improvement.

Instead, leaving these resources to further strengthen the Cult of the Plague and cultivate Plague Creatures was of far greater importance.

More crucial than these items was the influence of his Authority of Scourge of the Living. The number of Plague Creatures he controlled would directly impact the effectiveness of all his plague-related skills!

Finally, Chen Bai learned an important piece of information from the bishops before him.

“Great True God, according to the most humble predictions of your servants, the mastery of your Authority of Scourge of the Living will significantly influence your upcoming Second Profession Transfer!”.
