Su Yi Turns the Shadow Puppet Sanctum's Power Against It

Firelight painted Su Yi's face red as he stared at the headless corpse before him, but his expression kept shifting.

"A threat to the future... Shit. Did some lunatic look into the future and spot something strange about me?"

A chill ran down Su Yi's spine.

"No. If they'd discovered what's strange about me, they wouldn't have sent these small fry."

"But someone has clearly noticed the disturbance here."

"The Shadow Soul Hunters first appeared in version 1.2 in my previous life."

"And they appeared as a neutral faction!"

Back then, the Shadow Soul Hunters had seemed to be an outside organization newly arrived on Rhode Star.

As the main story hook for the first major update after the public beta, they led the Players to the Labyrinth Temple on Kainan Star.

Then, after version 1.5, large numbers of Players who had made it through the beginner stage headed to Kainan Star and began excavating its ruins.

"And in the end, the Phantom Shadow... What organization was behind the Phantom Shadow?"

Su Yi's eyes widened. "No way!"

His mind raced, then settled on an organization he could scarcely believe was involved: the Shadow Puppet Sanctum!

"Fuck!"

In his previous life, the Shadow Puppet Sanctum had been the most mysterious, most rewarding, and most prestigious faction available to Players.

Its Headquarters lay at the heart of the Dark Universe Storm, inside a fortress called the "Center of the World."

Players knew only that its members followed a great Prophet known as the Dreamwalker.

Through dreams, they could discern the course of fate and guide Players onto the right path at every critical moment.

Under their guidance, the Players had killed Su Yi 140 times—not counting the first.

The Sanctum had issued twenty-two legendary quest chains in all, each offering lavish rewards.
