Song Fei, Shepherded Soul, Offers Loyalty; A Veteran Player's Worldview!

"Where the hell am I?!"

At the Grave Pasture, Song Fei gazed at the vast, endless plains.

His Shepherded Soul form was Blood Spirit Form, and he had been standing before the tombstone for a long time.

Although the Arena is supposed to be off-limits to freebies, Xu Lang still managed to snag one.

This newly erected tombstone is the best proof.

"Are you still not reconciled?" Saladin drifted over, his voice low and menacing. "If you maintain this attitude, the best outcome will be like Azeman's —having your mind worn away—or like your former companions, being used as a sacrificial offering."

Song Fei remained silent for a while before replying, "Have you all accepted yourselves as 'cattle and sheep'?"

"The winner takes all, the loser loses everything, including loyalty," Saladin said calmly. "And you can betray me at any time, as long as you can bear the consequences..."

To die and be brought back to life.

People will cherish life more.

Shepherded Soul are no exception.

If there were a ticket that would allow you to be reborn as an animal after death, even the richest man would go bankrupt to buy it.

A dead emperor is worse than a living rat.

The two stopped talking and simply gazed at the plain, as if waiting for something.

"After the Shepherd was resurrected, I felt stronger. Do you know why?" Saladin suddenly asked.

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Fei's eyes. He looked at Saladin carefully for a moment and said in a low voice:

"The power he possesses should be the Sequence Power; his resurrection allowed him to develop this Sequence Power even more deeply..."

"Despite suffering such a devastating blow as death, the Sequence Power has not weakened but has become even stronger!"

"This shows that his Sequence is very strong, extremely strong! At least a top -C-grade sequence, or B-grade Sequence, and its development level is quite high!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and vaguely grasped something.

"Clap clap clap~ As expected of a veteran player, you figured out the reason so quickly."

Just then, a round of applause came from behind.

Song Fei suddenly turned around and saw Xu Lang walking towards him, then glared angrily at Saladin: "You did this on purpose?!"

Damn it!

That old Deng, he deserves to die!

Now there's no way to keep up the pretense!

"Greetings, Shepherd!"

The Shepherded Soul all appeared and paid homage to Xu Lang, leaving Song Fei standing alone, like a piece of wood.

"Aren't you going to kneel?" Xu Lang asked Song Fei with a smile.

A feeling of suffocation washed over me!

When Song Fei saw Xu Lang, his heart was heavier than that of an ordinary person seeing the emperor; it was as if a mortal were seeing a god.

"Greetings, Shepherd!" Song Fei prostrated himself on the ground.

Xu Lang placed one hand behind his back and the other on the hilt of his knife, smiling as he said, "I have a few questions for you."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Song Fei's tombstone.

[Song Fei's Grave]

[Shepherded Soul: Song Fei]

[Special Ability: Heart Unchanged, enduring countless hardships without regret, never lacking the courage to face death or the will to fight on]

[Introduction: Strange Tale, you tormented me deeply... but in the end, only I can emerge victorious!]

Song Fei's ability to Shepherded Soul is somewhat peculiar.

With this ability, as long as Xu Lang wants to fight, his courage will always be boosted, and no matter how much despair he faces, he can firmly believe that hope will come... Overall, it's not bad.

"I got the Gluttony Table Knife from your Loser Gift Bag. In your opinion, is it necessary for me to subdue the Ghost of Gluttony?" Xu Lang asked.

"No way!" Song Fei rejected the suggestion outright. He lowered his head, only able to see Xu Lang's toes, and explained, "The only way to subdue the Strange Tale is to integrate it into your body. To do that, you need to prepare the necessary items and follow the system prompts."

Xu Lang's brow twitched, his face showing surprise.

So, it turns out I was just indulging in wishful thinking before.

I'm not Strange Tales Building stories, so I can't even be a power outlet.

Song Fei continued, "Your Mad King Building probably can't get the items from the Strange Tales Building, and your Dormitory Building might not even help you seal the Strange Tale."

"Does it have to be Dormitory Building?" Xu Lang asked casually.

"Players of the Strange Tales Building have conducted experiments. While it's possible to subdue Strange Tale without the power of the Strange Tales Building, the difficulty becomes exceptionally high," Song Fei replied.

Xu Lang was surprised again.

These seasoned players are different; they're already figuring out how to get rid of and fight against the Dormitory Building.

"Tell me about the twelve Floor Leader of your Strange Tales Building, and the three games you've recently experienced." Xu Lang leaned back, and Blood Mist gathered, forming a throne.

The Soul Shepherd Wolf was about to come over to use as a cushion when it saw this scene and was slightly disappointed.

Xu Lang's development of the Scarlet Shepherd is going deeper and deeper. This is not his intention, but rather the Scarlet Shepherd itself is evolving.

If a player's growth rate cannot keep up with the Sequence evolution rate, they will be devoured.

Xu Lang wasn't panicked, because he had always developed relatively quickly.

After listening to Song Fei's story, Xu Lang continued, "Tell me about your experience subduing the Ghost of Gluttony... How much do you know about the God-Chosen?"

A group of Shepherded Soul remained kneeling.

We have plenty of time tonight, so everyone can listen to Xu Lang's stories.

"The Ghost of Gluttony is Strange Tale from Purgatory, with a guaranteed potential of at least King-Class Strange Tale and an upper limit of Emperor-Class -Emperor-Class. I only obtained one-seventh of its power..."

"Purgatory is a vast realm, rumored to exist beneath all things, and Purgatory power is also present in many normal worlds..."

"The Blood Mist World is like a garbage can, it eats everything, so of course there will be remnants of Purgatory power..."

"The Blood Mist World isn't actually that dangerous for us veteran players. You, sir, are already qualified to survive in the Blood Mist World..."

"If you have the coordinates of the freshmen Dormitory Building, you can go and 'visit' it, acting as a wild BOSS. It's said that if you kill all the players in a Dormitory Building, you will receive a reward from your Dormitory Building. Of course, the difficulty is also extremely high. The invaded Dormitory Building might just give rise to a God-Rank Player who kills you."

"The God-Chosen are similar to the Sequence Player... an extremely powerful group, but their origin lies in the Demon God at the pinnacle of the world..."

"Demon God, you can just be a background character. Your authenticity is questionable; you only exist in fragments of information, and the descriptions are quite exaggerated..."

Song Fei provided all the information truthfully.

Before seeing Xu Lang, he had many thoughts, but after seeing Xu Lang, all of those thoughts disappeared.

Adam was so terrified when he stole the forbidden fruit that he almost wet himself; how could he possibly raise a sword against God?

The increased authoritarianism is also a manifestation of Xu Lang's in-depth development of the Sequence Power.
