He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

After returning to the real world, Xie Bai took a breath of fresh air.

"Hmm~ I've finally come out for a visit."

Since helping Atoris defeat the Zerg, Xie Bai has not returned to the real world for a long time.

Looking at the bustling street, Xie Bai got excited and found a relatively quiet little shop.

To others, Xie Bai was just like any other passerby on the street, and they could hardly detect anything unusual about him.

After settling down, Xie Bai casually ordered a drink and started reading the Imperial Daily, which was placed to the side.

"The Empire's Sword concert has officially begun... The crowd's response is enthusiastic, hmm... Despite just experiencing a crisis, everything is still thriving. But what would happen here without my participation...?"

Under normal circumstances, the crises facing the Audu Empire are by no means easy.

They could even use the threat of near-annihilation of a nation to frighten people.

Outside the Audu Empire are Void Hives, and inside are Emperors and Commanders who have been implanted with Chaos Seeds.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, it's a miracle that the Aodu Empire can even retain its name.

Not to mention that the Audu Empire also occupied a vast territory that covered almost the entire eastern continent.

As soon as the empire shows any signs of weakness, those regions that have not yet fully submitted to it will seize the opportunity to raise the banner of independence and begin their rebellion.

Normally, the purpose of these crises is simply to promote the development of the chosen one.

According to the alchemist's principle of equivalence, Edward, the chosen one of alchemy, will usher in a great opportunity after experiencing a major crisis.

The singularity technology he previously acquired and the important imperial position he now holds offer a clue.

However, Xie Bai nipped these major crises in the bud.

"Speaking of which, now that the Chaos Cult's plan to destroy the Empire has failed, where have Julius and the others gone?"

Thinking of this, Xie Bai took a sip of the drink in his hand.

It's so bitter.

"Tsk...this thing that looks like milk tastes like coffee."

Upon tasting the bitterness of the drink, Xie Bai channeled a wisp of void power to alter its flavor.

"Hmm...this time it tastes a bit like the milk tea from my past life..."

After finishing his meal, Xie Bai quietly left the shop.

Seeing the extra cups on the table, a passing waiter looked puzzled.

"Strange, has anyone ordered anything for this seat?"

After clearing the table, the waiter couldn't recall anyone having been there.

"Never mind, I must have forgotten to tidy up here before. I hope the boss won't see it."

……

Meanwhile, Xie Bai had already arrived at the entrance of the Royal Opera House.

The opera house was packed with people, but the doors were tightly shut.

"Are we late?"

Looking at the noisy crowd around him, Xie Bai thought for a moment.

"It seems that the popularity of Atoris is far beyond my expectations. Even though the venue has been closed, there are still so many people waiting outside who couldn't get in."

Faced with this scene, Xie Bai couldn't help but think of some extremely popular concerts from his previous life.

In comparison, the current situation is even more exaggerated.

As an imperial idol, Atoris is currently the most popular figure in the entire empire, and his popularity cannot be compared to that of ordinary idols.

Even a considerable number of foreigners from within the city came here specifically to see this renowned Imperial Sword.

Thinking of this, Xie Bai looked down from the steps.

The massive crowds had spilled into the plaza and shopping street below.

If the opera house hadn't issued an order prohibiting the construction of shops around the area, Xie Bai felt that it wouldn't be long before a complete and bustling large commercial street was built here.

"That's right, I might be able to use this location to set up a branch of the Wheel of Fortune in the Empire. On the surface, it can be disguised as a related industrial chain operated by a commercial organization, while secretly recruiting players."

Thinking about this, Xie Bai felt it was quite feasible.

Currently, Roland is primarily in charge of the development of the Wheel of Fortune within the Empire.

Roland has just resigned from his position as Royal Alchemist from Orion and is now focusing his main efforts on managing the Wheel of Fortune.

Currently, the Wheel of Fortune's activities within the Empire are mainly focused on Atoris.

Although the Royal Opera House still maintains its status as a public venue on the surface, it has in reality become Artorias's personal private space.

Roland learned about the idol economy that has emerged in the new era very quickly, understanding its operating mechanism in just half a day.

He also single-handedly gathered alchemists and established a manufacturing plant for their related products.

Half of the money went into Roland's hands to continue developing the industry, while the other half went into Atoris's own pocket for temporary safekeeping.

With the empire not levying taxes, Atoris's personal income had reached an unbelievable level.

Strictly speaking, Artoria is a typical example of a political-business collusion, and she herself has an extremely high level of public support.

As for the songs performed by Atoris, they were all written by Xie Bai himself.

She referenced the compositional styles of many classical Chinese composers.

These uniquely styled songs, sung by Artorias, had a powerful impact on the nascent entertainment empire.

"It's a pity I arrived a little late; I was hoping to hear how the singing was."

After a brief sigh, Xie Bai activated his spiritual form and secretly slipped inside.

The people around them did not notice that a girl had disappeared into thin air.

Once inside, the scene was even more lively than Xie Bai had expected.

Even though the concert had just ended, the crowd was still very excited.

Some people even tried to rush onto the stage, but as soon as they made a move, they were forcibly stopped by the imperial guards around them.

After navigating through the bustling crowd, Xie Bai successfully arrived at the backstage dressing room.

At this moment, Atoris was removing some of his ornaments.

After performing, Artorias has become more accustomed to his current body, and his behavior has begun to better reflect his outward appearance.

After donning the battle dress symbolizing the sword of the empire, Atoris began to mutter to himself.

"Just now... I don't think there were any mistakes, right..."

Just as Artoris was reminiscing about the concert she had just attended, a familiar presence suddenly appeared beside her.

"My lord?"

Upon seeing Xie Bai arrive, Atoris felt a little flustered, and immediately lifted her skirt to bow.

"My lord...were you here the whole time?"

Seeing Atoris's uneasy expression, Xie Bai secretly smiled.

"That's right, and you did a great job just now."

Although Xie Bai didn't see Artoris's performance at all, that didn't stop her from teasing Artoris.

Upon hearing Xie Bai's reply, Atoris lowered his head even further.

"Thank you for the praise, My Lord..."
