Su Xiao closed the quest list and headed deeper into the council hall. He could sense a faint spreading presence of the Abyss ahead.
After passing through a corridor, a dark stone wall blocked the way. The wall was uneven, bearing the crest of the Du Cain family. Clearly, a method of opening it was required—this was the content of the first stage of the first ring of the Main Quest's true phase.
Su Xiao took out the Magical Universal Key. The restriction on the dark wall clearly belonged to the category of "locks." He touched the black stone wall with the key, and a strange scene appeared: a phantom keyhole emerged on the wall, and the Magical Universal Key fit into it perfectly.

The Magical Universal Key turned, and the dark wall ahead rose, revealing darkness cascading down like a waterfall. It seemed that jumping into it would lead to the "near-Abyss region."
Su Xiao had not forgotten what Dark Bishop Charles had said before his death: the Du Cain Sacred Land was above the molten fire, while what lay below was a trap.
When the Magical Universal Key finished unlocking the wall, it floated before Su Xiao. The crying and smiling faces at its end spun rapidly, eventually stopping with the crying face aimed at him.
A force of attraction came over, and some of Su Xiao's bad luck was devoured by the Magical Universal Key. Hmm, it did not seem to feel especially intense.
"Facing the Wail: The 'Magical Universal Key' will devour your bad luck. However, if the amount of bad luck you possess does not satisfy the 'Magical Universal Key's' current consumption, it will turn from wailing to anger and begin gnawing at your fate, causing permanent damage to it.
