The burly man's expression changed drastically upon seeing the intruder's attire.

As the leader of the Upper Clan and a newly-entered Level 6 professional, he was confident that he could roam freely across the land of Great Xia, as long as his whereabouts were not discovered by the few high-ranking members of the Rangers.

But facing the man in front of him, his heart was pounding.

"Are you the Grim Reaper?"

The woman representing the Heavenly Skill Star, after being reminded by the man, seemed to realize something, her eyes widening instantly as she exclaimed, "There really is a Grim Reaper! The Grim Reaper is still here?"

The rugged man has the physique of a warrior, but his profession is a summoner.

He gestured in the air with his finger, preparing to unleash his strongest summoned creature to strike first and kill with a single blow.

Death simply tapped the base of his scythe lightly on the ground, and a golden ripple spread out, sweeping across the entire space.

The burly man's summoning spell shattered instantly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

The others were even worse off, frozen in place, their eyes unable to move.

Death opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice: "Which one is Earth Mad Star?"

Of course, no one answered.

Ren Chao's physical condition was transparent to death.

He slowly walked to Ren Chao's side, looked down at him, and said, "I heard you're pretty arrogant?"

He slammed the handle of his sickle into Ren Chao's hand, piercing it like a chopstick piercing tofu.

Ren Chao was suppressed and couldn't even cry out loud.

Death shook his head and said in a disappointed tone, "It's nothing special."

He then casually left, even closing the stone door behind him.

The pressure vanished instantly, but no one dared to breathe too heavily.

After a long while, the burly man spoke up: "Issue the order that no one from the Upper Clan shall have any further contact with the Luo Clan."

One of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, curious, asked, "Who is the God of Death that even you must avoid his wrath?"

The rugged man recounted the upheaval of fifty years ago and the legends surrounding death.

Fifty years ago, the Immortal Realm descended and lasted for one day.

Great Xia reacted swiftly, amassing troops in the Immortal Realm: tanks, fighter jets, special forces...

The people of the Immortal Realm called this place the land forsaken by the gods and launched the first invasion.

The battle between the two sides began.

With its superior military strength, the Great Xia Dynasty almost completely annihilated the people of the Immortal Realm.

Until a man wielding a scythe emerged from the Immortal Realm, who single-handedly suppressed high-tech weapons such as airplanes and tanks, preventing them from advancing an inch.

The matter only subsided after the Immortal Realm disappeared.

That man is Death.

Some say that Death disappeared along with the Immortal Realm, while others say that he remained here.

Those in higher positions all knew that he hadn't left; he just hadn't reappeared.

Later, a large number of time-traveling coffins began to appear inexplicably all over the world. Only then did people realize that the so-called Immortal Realm was just another world, a parallel universe, and the people in it were just humans with some extraordinary abilities, not immortals.

Strictly speaking, Death was the first superhuman in this timeline.

The next morning, as soon as it was time for work, Yan Xunzhou reported the situation of the previous night to his superiors.

The appearance of one Earthly Fiend Star was not enough for him to report to his superiors, but the seventy-eight Transcendent Coffins were no small matter.

The old man's voice came through the phone: "Luo Hanshan is a decent person. He wants to cultivate his own power, and we don't need to stop him. You can distribute the thirty-nine transmigration coffins that were promised to us as you see fit."

"Okay," Yan Xunzhou replied.

The old man continued, "Don't be too happy yet. Linhai City won't be peaceful for a while. I heard that the leader of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals hasn't come out since entering Linhai City. I'm afraid he's about to make a big move."

"Furthermore, the presence of death was detected in the capital last night, right in our province."

Yan Xunzhou agreed. Death had appeared and disappeared many times, but had never made any big moves. For him, the most troublesome group was the Upper Clan. This group was extreme in their behavior and did not care about the lives of ordinary people.

The old man praised, "You did a very good job this time."

Taking this opportunity, Yan Xunzhou recommended Han Qianfei, hoping to get him into the spotlight of higher-ups as soon as possible and obtain more resources.

"This time, we owe it all to a newbie ranger..."

The old man listened quietly as Yan Xunzhou finished recounting the story, seemingly suspecting that the other party had made a mistake in conveying certain information and needing to confirm it again.

"You mean he's a three-elemental mage?"

"His innate mental strength is above 49?"

"He's a body temperer capable of absorbing seven Ascension Beads at once?"

Yan Xunzhou was satisfied with the old man's tone.

After receiving all positive answers, the old man said, "I want to see him. Tell him to come to my office tomorrow afternoon."

……

The old man was the head of the Mountain and Sea Province's wandering knights and concurrently the director of the provincial public security department. He was an important figure with no ulterior motives. At this moment, he paced back and forth in his living room, his heart filled with excitement.

His wife criticized him, saying that at his age, he was still so unsteady.

The old man's home is in Huiyue City, the provincial capital. He lives in a house allocated by his work unit. Although it is not spacious or luxurious, everyone knows that the person living there can bankrupt a tycoon with a flick of his wrist.

Huiyue City is more prosperous and affluent than Linhai City. Huiyue City is built around mountains, and the city center is a solitary mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a villa area with large gaps between buildings. It is said that the property management fee can reach more than 100 yuan per square meter.

The Wang family lives in this quiet villa area amidst the hustle and bustle. Wang Xiao is having breakfast with his father, Wang Yu.

Wang Xiao was dressed casually, wearing glasses, and looked very refined and cultured.

He said, "Dad, we've asked Luo Qianhe out three times already, but she just won't come out."

Wang Yu's appearance was very standard, perfectly fitting the image of a successful businessman in people's minds. Hearing Wang Xiao's words, he frowned slightly and said, "When we were little, didn't she love following you around? Why is she acting so distant now?"

Wang Xiao said, "Perhaps she's in a relationship."

Wang Yu said, "You and I both saw it in the other world. That little girl from the Luo family looks exactly like the current saintess of the church. We must win her over no matter what."

If Luo Qianhe were to transmigrate, it would almost certainly become a saintess.

Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses, his eyes flashing with a crazed light: "Why not just take a hard line? I have no interest in flattering and fawning over a girl."

Wang Yu picked up a piece of bread, tore off a bite, and chewed slowly. After a while, he said, "That was a last resort. After all, she is not an ordinary girl. Luo Hanshan may not be strong enough, but he is rich and has good relations with wandering knights."

"Dad, is that old man Ye Qingyang still refusing to meet with us?"

Wang Yu suddenly glared angrily and said coldly, "That old man? From now on, call him Director Ye."

"Dad, we're at home," Wang Xiao said speechlessly. "Do I have to be afraid of him even at home?"

Wang Yu said in a deep voice, "Shut up! Who do you think you are facing? Those ordinary officials in the past, who can be manipulated by you once you find a handle? Elder Ye is not only an official, but also an extraordinary power, a height that you and I, father and son, could never reach in our entire lives."

You've gotten used to being reckless; what will happen if someone with ulterior motives overhears you outside?

Wang Xiao stopped talking, but he was indignant inside.

The Wang family, relying on its wealth, has cultivated a group of extraordinary individuals, the highest of whom has reached level three, making them extremely powerful among the common people.

Wang Yu and his son, however, were of mediocre talent. They had been transmigrators for ten years and had only recently reached the peak of the first level.

Wang Xiao inadvertently discovered that the Holy Maiden of the Qingbai Empire's General Church looked exactly like his childhood playmate. The Holy Maiden's status was even higher than that of a prince, and if he could control her, it would be of immense benefit.

This led to Wang Xiao pursuing Luo Qianhe first, and if that failed, forcibly controlling her and then having her travel to another world to replace the saintess.
