…

Notifications from fate buzzed in his head.

Having delved into the Abyss, drained the Underworld dry, Han Dong didn’t immediately return to his physical body… His consciousness entered a very special state and continued to [sink]

Finally, he arrived in front of a [door]—a door leading to the great truth of the world.

“Could this be the ‘Door of Truth’ that demons glimpse upon achieving the ‘Ancestor Body’?”

Due to sensations coming from his left arm, Han Dong’s attention was first drawn to this ‘newly upgraded’ limb.

By absorbing the entire Underworld Netherworld, his left arm—the ‘Arm of the Undying Priest’—underwent a qualitative change.

This arm had initially come from High Priest Imhotep, who had not yet returned to his original form.

Unlike the ‘movie setting,’ Han Dong didn’t follow the route to the “The Mummy” world to restore the arm… Instead, he used alternative methods to infuse death attributes he comprehended into the arm,

Transforming it into an arm of the Undead that was uniquely his own.

After all, what Han Dong aimed to become was not merely a High Priest but a [Pharaoh], one posited on an even higher level.

By absorbing the fictional Underworld and integrating all the corresponding ‘Myth Factors’ into the left arm… The four capital letters [D.U.A.T] emerged on the surface of the arm, representing the Underworld realm.

From that moment, Han Dong’s left arm was utterly transformed.

The ‘Hand of Undying Priest’ was renamed ‘Arm of the Undead.’

Mythical: An arm of the Dead, recognized and blessed by [Egyptian Death God – Anubis].

Quality: ‘Unique+’ → ‘Epic’

Basic Attributes:

‘Strength: E-‘

‘Nervous Reflex: C+→A’

‘Hardness: A-‘

‘Tenacity: D-‘

‘Magic Control: A+→S-‘

[Common Special Traits]:

‘Yellow Sand (Inherent)’ – Bestows the individual with the [Dark Magic System – Yellow Sand]

(Proficiency can be increased through ‘Self-Cultivation,’ or the arm can be completed and perfected through special methods to unlock higher levels of Yellow Sand Magic).

[Unique Special Traits (Mythical Trait)]:

‘Anubis’s Blessing’

(Replacing the original ‘Power of Undying Priest’)

Death Magic used by the individual will carry traits of Anubis.

The higher the magic’s strength, the stronger the Anubis traits that are added.

Motto: Sands-of-the-desert, rise-and-block-off-the-sun (Desert, lift your sands, and obscure the sun’s rays).

…

After examining the changes to his left arm, he temporarily put it to the back of his mind.

The most pressing matter at hand was the ‘Door of Truth’ before him.

Maybe it was instinct, maybe it was the allure of the Door of Truth, or perhaps it was a response from Anubis.

Han Dong involuntarily extended his left arm, touching the door’s surface and slowly pushing it open…

Eyes, stars, cells, paintings… A variety of bizarre images appeared before his eyes.

But.

Unlike all other Ancestor Bodies who would get completely immersed in their first glimpse of the door crack, leading to physical Ancestor Return,

Han Dong was not at all surprised by the scene inside the door, nor was he captivated, as if he had seen it before.

This ‘before’ corresponded to ‘memories’.

But these weren’t Han Dong’s memories, they were those of the Faceless Skull… It seemed that the original owner of this skull had already witnessed what lay beyond the door, and had even fully entered the inside of [The Door].

Just as Han Dong was about to take a closer look at the scene inside the door, leaning slightly forward,

several arm-like black lines spilled out from the crack of the door, attempting to grab Han Dong’s body and drag him inside.

At that critical moment, an external force acted.

It pulled Han Dong’s consciousness away from “Truth’s Domain” and back to his body inside the Osiris Temple in the City of Gods.

Whew!

Han Dong woke up with a start, blood flowing from all seven orifices.

Recalling the ‘hand-like’ black lines that had spilled out from inside the door just a moment ago, Han Dong felt a chill.

Intuition told him that once he was caught, it would all be over.

“Could it be… the ‘Faceless Skull’ wasn’t made separately?

Could it be that the previous owner, the Warden managing the prison, had been taken to the inside of [The Door] for some reason, leaving his head behind?”

Too dangerous.

I can only take a brief glance inside the door crack now. To truly pass through [The Door], I have to wait until I break through to the fifth tier.

Wait… why is this coffin so cramped? And who is this?”

When Han Dong’s thoughts returned to reality, he realized there was another person in the coffin, pressing down on him.

Unfortunately, this person also awakened at the same time.

“High Priest Tutramon? What are you doing here?”

“I damn well shouldn’t be here!”

The High Priest now regretted meddling in affairs that were none of his concern. Not only did he fail to help, but he almost lost his consciousness inside the crumbling Underworld.

Suddenly, Han Dong remembered something, “During the examination period, I always felt like someone was following me. Was it you, High Priest?”

“Your examination was completely different from others, it was obvious you were targeted by the Pharaoh… Since you work for me, I had to intervene in such unjust matters.

But I didn’t expect you to go to such lengths, you destroyed the Underworld Netherworld that Osiris Company has built over a hundred years with endless resources.

This way, you will be completely hostile to the Black Pyramid.”

Hearing the High Priest say this, Han Dong completely let down his guard. The High Priest was on his side, and even if it meant standing against the pyramid, it was all the same.

“Hostility is inevitable, no worries… But, I have a favor to ask of the High Priest!”

“Go ahead.”

“Please take me back to the Black Pyramid.”

“Are you seeking death?”

“I will disguise myself as much as possible so the Black Pyramid won’t be able to identify me for a short time. I just want to visit the Great Tomb Area…”

“For what?”

“To see if the seeds I sowed in advance have grown successfully.”

After experiencing the “Nine Gates Journey,” the High Priest now had a deeper view of Han Dong.

Clearly, Han Dong was targeting the Pharaoh from the start.

“… Okay, but I can only take you as far as the Great Tomb Area.

And if you’re trying to seize the Pharaoh’s position… wait, you’re not planning to use [Dark Power] to help you take his place, are you?”

Just then.

A commotion came from outside the coffin; it seemed someone had arrived.

“I trust the High Priest can handle the trouble outside; I’ll count on you to take me to the Great Tomb Area.”
