In less than an hour, Chen Mo's health was fully restored.

This is much better than slowly recovering your losses over time.

Incidentally, Chen Mo also took Zhang Dequan down to the bottom of the Death Pit to see if those people were still there.

When they went down to investigate, they discovered that once the corrupt cultist died, everyone else had died completely, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Seeing this, Zhang Dequan could only shake his head and sigh.

"Cowards don't die, fools do!"

Chen Mo ignored all of this and walked straight to the corrupting water.

Before heading to the next level, Chen Mo decided to save up some more Corrupted Water. This stuff works on boss monsters, so it might be surprisingly effective against other monsters as well.

Anyway, it's always good to store more, but you need a gold cup to store it; other types don't seem to work.

Fortunately, the Blood Soul Cup filled with water can be put back into the equipment slot, which is good news.

Although Zhang Dequan didn't understand what the water was for, seeing Chen Mo doing it, he also wanted to decorate it.

The result was that the electric kettle was completely corroded by the rotten water, and Zhang Dequan, heartbroken, cursed and swore.

This stuff is really hard to get!

After doing all this, the two left the underground and returned to the place where the Nine-Fire Soul had died.

This place is relatively safe; while you're at it, look for the portal to the next floor.

"Hey boss, are you in a hurry to get to the next floor?"

"What, you want to keep grinding here?"

"Go ahead and farm! I can tell you're strong enough to fill your inventory on this floor. Even if you encounter another full moon, you won't be afraid. Here's what we'll do: you farm with me, I'll give you 70% of the gold and you 30%, you get priority for the cards, and if your inventory is full, give me the rest."

Zhang Dequan spoke with great enthusiasm.

Chen Mo thought that this made sense, so he decided to take a break and figure out that there was no harm in collecting some gold coins and cards.

Zhang Dequan's plan to give Chen Mo the cards after filling his backpack with them would definitely fall through.

Chen Mo needs a massive amount of cards; it would be difficult to fill his inventory.

As the two walked back to the place where the Nine Fire Souls had died, Chen Mo saw a figure kneeling there in the distance, seemingly still sobbing softly. It was the white-haired rat.

"Something's strange!"

When Zhang Dequan saw the white-haired rat, he was about to pull out his card and throw it with all his might when Chen Mo immediately stopped him.

"Don't kill him, I know this monster."

"What? You know monsters? You're really... a big shot!"

Zhang Dequan was extremely surprised; he had never seen any monster that could communicate.

Chen Mo approached the white-haired rat, and the rat immediately got up and distanced itself from him.

"Great card, you have truly done it; you have brought peace to both its body and soul."

The white-haired mouse bowed in greeting.

The more Chen Mo looked at him, the more certain he became that he must have once been human, but he didn't know if he was from Earth.

"Do you know how to get to the next level? Can you go to the next level?"

Chen Mo asked slowly.

The white-haired rat quickly replied, "I know. Go in this direction, there's a cliff face that's a different color. Go straight in, and you'll find the entrance to the next level. I can also go to the next level, but I'll use a different method. However, I will find you, no matter which level you're on."

"You'll also point out the location of the statue, right? Shall we continue our deal?"

Chen Mo continued to ask.

The white-haired rat nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. The deal continues. Great card player, you are the most powerful card player I have ever seen. If possible, I hope you can end all this, kill the corruption, and be crowned king!"

"What did you say?"

Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this.

Zhang Dequan, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and stepped forward to close the distance with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo usually wouldn't let anyone get close to this distance, but Lao Zhang had helped him a few times, so he could still be trusted.

"Hey boss, I think you've received a quest. Is it part of the main storyline? And what's the reward?"

Chen Mo found Zhang Dequan's statement strange, but it also seemed to make some sense.

"What kills corruption and ends it all?"

Chen Mo frowned, looking into the white-haired rat's eyes, waiting for him to explain.

The white-haired rat quickly said, "It means to obtain all authority, liberate all the souls here, end corruption, and bring peace to all living beings and all things."

Do you think I can do it?

"If you can't do it, I really don't know who can."

Chen Mo fell silent again upon hearing this, unable to refute it.

Zhang Dequan, who was standing next to him, had already understood.

"Dude, this seems to be a main quest, but I don't know if it's the real ending."

Chen Mo felt that he had played too many games. He didn't care about the main storyline or anything like that. All he could hear was trouble, a lot of trouble.

"All authority? What do you mean? The boss monsters on each floor? Or some kind of card?"

The white-haired mouse shook its head and said, "It might be, it might not, I don't know."

"Then you've essentially wasted your breath!"

Chen Mo shook his head, preparing to leave.

The white-haired rat suddenly shouted, "But I know that there is a power hidden on the tenth floor, and clues to power on the thirtieth floor, as well as you..."

Chen Mo was startled, sensing that the white-haired rat was about to say something that couldn't be said.

Chen Mo immediately glared at her, and the white-haired rat quickly realized that he had almost misspoke and hurriedly added, "In addition, with your strength, you will surely be able to find other powers."

"Ten floors, thirtieth floor, okay, I've got it."

Chen Mo withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him.

Although his expression remained unchanged, a slight ripple had stirred within Chen Mo's heart.

The white-haired rat must be referring to what he has in his hand.

There are only two possibilities: either the notes or the forbidden upgrade of the black card in his hand.

"May you be crowned king, great cardholder!"

After speaking, the white-haired rat dared not linger. He seemed genuinely afraid that Chen Mo would get angry and kill him. He quickly retreated and then slipped through the wall and disappeared.

Only after the white-haired rat had completely left did Zhang Dequan stroke his chin and say, "Authority, in myths and legends, things that belong to the gods are called authority. For example, the authority of storms, the authority of war, the authority of lightning, and so on. If you get it, you can indeed be crowned king. You're probably close to completing the game, and you'll definitely be able to fulfill your wish."

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"Who wouldn't want that? I thought it would be at least seventy levels later, sometime in the very late game, to get something like this. But now it seems like we have a chance at just ten levels! Boss, we have to give it a try. I think this rat wasn't lying; my eyes are like a ruler!"

Chen Mo didn't speak.

Of course, I can give it a try, but I'll have to wait until the tenth floor.

This kind of thing sounds hard to get. If holding power means you can command the wind and rain, then the people they have to deal with must be those who can command the wind and rain as well.

The authority in mythology is indeed very powerful, but don't forget that authority can only be obtained by killing gods!
