Settlement Rewards

Ling Chu looked over at Chen Piaopiao and the others again.

"What about them?"

[Public Challenges are independent settlement areas established by Realm Walkers. If players die during a challenge, their souls will temporarily remain in a player death settlement state. Once the challenge ends, the corresponding rule protections will be lifted, and they will then enter the normal Netherworld process.]

No wonder Chen Piaopiao's soul had remained even after she had been dead for so long.

Ling Chu's gaze finally fell on the spot where Smiley's corpse had been.

It was completely empty. There was nothing there.

Right. Mortus had already extracted his soul and condensed it into a soul orb, so naturally it would not remain near the corpse.

At the same time, a brand-new divine office appeared on Ling Chu's Character Panel.

[Special Divine Office: Acting Death God]

[Current Divine Power: 0]

[Soul Extraction: You may bind complete souls that have already died but have not yet entered the Netherworld Domain, condensing them into "soul orbs." No divine power is consumed when used on ordinary departed souls. When forcibly extracting the soul of a living being, divine power is consumed according to the target soul's strength. The lower the target's Health Points, the higher the success rate. Souls protected by higher-level rules cannot be forcibly extracted.]

[Death Pact: With a target's voluntary consent, you may form a Death Pact with them. This pact will not affect the target's lifespan. When the target enters a near-death state, you will sense it. After the target dies, their death settlement will automatically be completed and credited to your death performance, granting corresponding divine power.]

[Death Realm Passage: You possess the qualifications to open a passage to the Death Realm. Your current divine power is insufficient, so it cannot be opened
