Looking at the information about the Advancement Task, Gu Xi immediately understood that this was the Underworld Master's choice.
As an Underworld Master, there were two paths he could choose.
One was for the Underworld to remain the Underworld, and the Living World to remain the Living World.
The other was for every place swallowed by the Underworld to become part of it.
Choosing the first path meant cutting off the use of the Living World, focusing wholeheartedly on Underworld affairs, specializing in everything related to the Underworld, and taking the specialization route.
Choosing the second path meant abandoning specialization. Everything within sight would become the Underworld. It was a route of unlimited expansion, forsaking specialized enhancement in favor of quantity.
In truth, no matter which path he took, it would define the Underworld Master's duties while preparing him for the level 20 Underworld King.
According to the records in the Mount Tai Prefect's Secret Records, advancing to the level 20 profession of Underworld King required a personal Underworld.
Whether it was an Underworld strengthened through specialization or one expanded without limit, the ultimate goal was to obtain an Underworld belonging exclusively to Gu Xi.
It was just that the choice began the moment one advanced.
Gu Xi believed that once he made his choice, the path ahead would already be locked in.
This path might not have much impact on the Underworld King's future route, but it would definitely affect the skill rewards granted when the Underworld Master leveled up.
It seemed that before taking action, Gu Xi needed to decide which route he wanted to follow.
Before the information in front of him had even finished, new information popped up.
