Giant's Skull

Yellow Turban Decree

Quality: Excellent

Restriction: Eastern Plane; the Yellow Heaven's Tentacle must have touched the world

Effect: Grants the Yellow Turban Warrior class.

Description: Cry out to the Yellow Heaven, and this heavenly mandate shall be bestowed upon you. The Azure Heaven is dead! The Yellow Heaven shall rise! The Year is Jiazi, great auspice under heaven!

Rather than choosing a blind box, Xiao Yang took the Yellow Turban Decree in his hand.

In appearance, the Yellow Turban Decree was just an ordinary iron plaque. Great Auspice Under Heaven was engraved on the front, and The Yellow Heaven Shall Rise on the back.

Just like that, a precious class change opportunity had fallen into Xiao Yang's hands.

He had to admit, this was the value of a colorful talent. It wasn't about how much combat power the Dungeon Delver talent could provide, or how well it could complement certain classes. It was about the greater possibilities it could bring.

Xiao Yang hadn't decided whether to become a Yellow Turban Warrior. After all, he didn't even know what the class was good or bad at. He turned his gaze away. Choosing a class was a serious, important matter, and it was best to consider it carefully. At the very least, he wasn't going to lose his head and rush into it.

Besides, he looked down on Blue Quality classes a little.

He had a unique colorful talent, and he wasn't expecting a unique class, but surely a Golden Legendary class was the bare minimum. For example, one of those prestigious classes like God-Chosen Knight, Arcanist, Artificer, Cultivator, or Great Shaman. He'd settle for an Epic class at the very least. This Blue Quality class just fell a little short.

As he thought this, Xiao Yang held the Yellow Turban Decree in his hand. Suddenly, a prompt from the God Game popped up.

A player is holding a class change item. Would you like to begin the class change process? Class: Yellow Turban Warrior.

Before Xiao Yang could refuse, another prompt appeared.

Class change requirements not met. The Yellow Heaven's Tentacle has not touched this world. If you wish to successfully change classes, please offer a sacrifice to the Yellow Heaven in the presence of the current World Will.

His store of things he didn't understand had grown once again. More strange, incomprehensible knowledge: the Yellow Heaven, sacrifices, the World Will—all that confusing stuff. He was just a level-eight newbie who spent his time crawling through dungeons. He didn't understand any of it.

Whatever. He'd set it aside for now. There were plenty of things he didn't understand, and he still had to wait for his big bro, Redbeard, to come back and ask him about them.

After a brief spell of dejection, Xiao Yang soon accepted the situation. Sitting at the long table in the Safe House, he decided that the most practical thing to do was focus on clearing the Skeleton Dungeon. On the table, he spotted a finely made hat: an Adventurer's Hat.

Well, it looked like he wouldn't be able to make use of Senior Robert's kind gift this time. He set the Dark Dispelling Lantern from his belt on the table, then picked up the letter.

The second floor of the dungeon has become even more dangerous. This isn't just a Small Dungeon. It seems to have been built upon an ancient ruin, and an Underground Current runs through the second floor, bringing all sorts of trouble. Watch out for the Cave Fishmen in the current. But it has also brought some truths to light.

Future adventurer! When you pass by that Underground Current, you must look into the water. You'll see a truly shocking sight! Here's a hint: it's incomparably huge!

By the way, I found a hat on the way. If you can use it, take it.

From your great adventurer, Robert

The description in the letter made Xiao Yang even more curious about the incomparably huge thing Robert had mentioned.

Not long afterward, Xiao Yang left the Safe House and continued deeper into the passage. Soon, he reached the end of the road. Along the way, he hadn't seen the Underground Current Robert had described in his message. All he found was a vast Underground Crevasse.

The sudden Underground Crevasse had torn the road apart. Xiao Yang heard the trickling sound of water. There should have been water flowing here, but he couldn't see clearly. All he could make out before him was profound darkness.

Deep in thought, Xiao Yang gazed at the wide underground fissure. He took the extinguished torch from the passage wall, relit it with the Dark Dispelling Lantern, then hurled it into the abyss before him with all his might.

The tiny flame briefly drove back the darkness, startling the Bloodthirsty Bats clinging to the crevasse and illuminating the tunnel. Then it kept falling, the light growing smaller and smaller until it vanished completely into the dark. The underground fissure was far deeper than Xiao Yang had imagined.

There probably had once been an Underground Current. Xiao Yang saw water trickling down toward the bottom of the crevasse. And yes, he also saw the incomparably huge thing Robert had described in his letter. He was certain he could see it a little more clearly than Robert had.

It was an incomparably huge skull, buried in the earth. The underground fissure had exposed most of its pale visage.

Xiao Yang's mouth fell open.

Just how terrifying must the creature have been to leave behind such enormous bones? A giant? Or a god? But those two weren't mutually exclusive. In many myths, the first gods were incomparably huge giants. They had a widely recognized name: Titans.

And now, it seemed that such an incomparably terrifying being lay buried beneath the dungeon Xiao Yang had been running back and forth through.

Xiao Yang felt he needed to take a closer look at that troublemaking Shovel of Freedom. Because if he wasn't mistaken, this enormous Underground Crevasse had probably been dug out by it.

According to Robert's letter, the underground fissure hadn't appeared yet. The current, where Cave Fishmen roamed, had most likely run right over the top of this Giant's Skull. The broken edge of the underground passage, faintly visible on the other side of the crevasse, seemed to confirm this.

Of course, it could also have been a coincidence. After all, it was hard to determine when Robert had left his letter.

But for no particular reason, Xiao Yang felt that this had all happened because of his own meddling combined with the Shovel of Freedom. He had no concrete evidence. It was probably just a hunch.

"Maybe I shouldn't have been so damn curious."

In any case, he regretted it!

With the road collapsed, the most urgent problem before Xiao Yang was how to reach the area on the other side.

He lowered his head to look at the deep underground crevasse before him, then looked away.

Xiao Yang felt that he had probably created a huge problem for himself.

Meanwhile, in the Real Plane, outside Xiao Yang's home.

While Xiao Yang was charging through the Skeleton Dungeon, a figure appeared at his front door.

But Xiao Yang wasn't home today. And because of his meddling, he probably wouldn't be able to climb back up for a long time.
