Golden Legend? No, Bright Red!

Seven options, six starting paths!

Each option shone with light, as though foretelling the consequences each different start would bring.

Wu Yu warily glanced at the others. Thinking that no one could see anyone else's panel, he began carefully reviewing the options.

Six different starts meant six different identities, along with exclusive talents, skills, carried items, and so on.

"If this place really is the Great Ruins, then something must happen when the Bronze Tower sends us in, right?"

"Could it be like the main god spaces in novels from my previous life, where we have to carry out some kind of mission?"

"We'll probably encounter unknown dangers before long."

Wu Yu silently analyzed the situation.

Of the six options, the identities differed, and their talents might not even be of the same color quality!

Judging by Bai Xiaotian, Yu Tiezhu, and the others, the higher the quality, the stronger the talent!

White was the most ordinary. Green and blue should be stronger than white, while purple and gold naturally surpassed them.

As for red and black, perhaps they were even stronger than gold?

"Option one is Poop Superman. Though it has a purple talent, it doesn't suit me. I'll keep it in reserve."

"Option two is quite good. Bajiquan can lay a solid foundation in martial arts. If I can buy a potion like [Nine Dragons' Might], I might have a chance to become a martial artist! But... a white talent is too ordinary!"

"Option three... a King of Soldiers? Everyone who came in is an ordinary person. Firearms have decent killing power, but technology is advanced in this life. The spirit-energy pistol in Inspector Liu's hand is no ordinary assault rifle can compare to, and the talent is mediocre too—far inferior to option one! Discarded!"

"Option four... a cultivator!"

Wu Yu's pupils contracted, and excitement surged through his heart.

After transmigrating into this world eighteen years ago, he had finally scraped together enough money to buy an External Heavenly Spiritual Root and prepare to embark on the path of cultivation. He had never expected to roll one as a starting path too!

"It's even a purple talent! It has skills, a storage pouch, spirit stones..."

Wu Yu suppressed his excitement and decisively ruled out the option he had been considering before.

With this "cultivator" start available, only an idiot would choose Poop Superman!

Then, he looked toward option five.

This option was enveloped in golden light. It was mysterious and unknown, yet it also radiated the oppressive presence of a higher existence.

It seemed that merely existing placed it across an insurmountable chasm from the identities before it.

"A golden talent..."

Anticipation rose in Wu Yu's heart, but after glancing at the detailed information, a chill ran through his entire body. He decisively eliminated this option.

A "Twisted Creature" was the enemy of all humanity—or rather, of the entire world. The moment one appeared, it would inevitably be besieged.

Forget a golden talent. Even if it already possessed the power to devour planets, death would still be certain.

Outside Blue Star alone, densely packed spirit-energy planet-destroying cannons had been deployed!

He forced himself to look away and turned to the final identity.

"Option six, an immortal fallen into the mortal world..."

"A red talent!?"

Wu Yu's pupils shrank, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Red... was very likely an even higher quality, but it bore a mark indicating an accompanying curse!

The panel gave no explanation for the colors, so Wu Yu could only speculate based on what he had seen.

Thick black clouds coiled around this option's panel, giving it a mysterious, ominous feeling.

This made Wu Yu hesitate... should he choose the best available identity, "cultivator," and obtain the Five-Thunder Spirit Body, or gamble on this so-called "Sin Immortal"?

At that moment, a startled cry came from ahead.

"Look! The Bronze Token is glowing! New information has appeared!"

Having appeared here in the blink of an eye, everyone had naturally been talking among themselves. But the fat chef had kept a tight grip on the [Bronze Token] the whole time and was the first to notice the change.

Everyone hurriedly looked over.

Wu Yu was no exception. He took the card out of his inventory.

[Bronze Token]

Status: Used.

Bound World: [Newcomer Secret Realm]

[Map]

"Notice: The first time tower climbers enter a secret realm, they will definitely enter the [Newcomer Secret Realm]."

"Notice: The difficulty of the [Newcomer Secret Realm] has been greatly reduced, while rewards have been greatly increased! Three evacuation points have been added! Fog damage reduced by 80%!"

"Notice: The [Newcomer Secret Realm] is a cooperative secret realm. Everyone will be teleported to the starting point."

"Notice: The [Map] contains sufficient information."

Beside the card, a new panel popped up, displaying scrolling information.

Wu Yu swept his gaze over it and silently willed it in his heart.

Sure enough, a virtual map opened up!

It showed mountain ranges, roads, rivers, and other information, along with labels such as "Evil Tiger Stronghold," "Redfang Village," and "Lostway Cave."

The map information was extremely detailed. Wu Yu immediately grasped the key points.

First were the five locations marked "Evacuation Point." Second was the countdown at the top of the map!

Fogfall: 23 hours 59 minutes 57 seconds.

The countdown ticked down second by second, perfectly in sync with reality.

When Wu Yu focused his thoughts on "Fogfall," he could see gray mist surging across the map, covering more than half of it.

"This is... the outer half of the map! The outer ring?"

He was somewhat surprised. With another thought, the map returned to normal.

"Lord Liu, this map can be opened!"

"Mm, I'm already looking through it! Everyone, pay attention to the evacuation points. Those may be where we can leave safely!"

"That's great! We can go home!"

"This fog... seems like it will cover most of the map in a day."

"If the information on the map is complete and accurate, we should be able to enter the safe zone within a day. There's no need to worry."

Pooling their thoughts, the group immediately began discussing it.

Perhaps because this was the [Newcomer Secret Realm], every condition was extremely friendly, and everyone relaxed.

"We may really have entered a game."

"No, I think it's another world!"

"The term secret realm has referred to other spaces since ancient times. I'm afraid we're no longer on Blue Star."

"Be careful. Just from the name alone, Evil Tiger Stronghold sounds like a den of ancient bandits!"

While everyone discussed the matter, Wu Yu also came to a decision.

Combined with the circumstances of this [Newcomer Secret Realm], he probably was not in much danger of losing his life. He could take a gamble!

"Choose..."

Wu Yu's eyes sharpened. He opened his status panel and looked toward that dark, murky option.

"Sin Immortal!"

"Selection successful!"

"You are human, and you are also a Sin Immortal fallen into the mortal world. You possess the red talent [Mountain-Sea Sigil] (Curse: Violating Heavenly Law), have comprehended your innate sigil, 'Bi Fang Sigil.'
