Baiyu nodded, neither completely believing nor completely disbelieving his words.
Specific situation.
Would only be clear after seeing it himself.
After Chester’s initial explanation, he didn’t say much more and led Baiyu toward the depths of the mansion.
The two walked through the garden and arrived at an isolated residence.
Chester then unlocked the door and led the way into a dark, deep underground passage.
Baiyu followed behind him, cautiously watching his surroundings.
This underground passage wasn’t short.
Except for the initial darkness, both sides of the walls were lined with kerosene lamps providing bright flas.
In the light.
Baiyu discovered nurous murals on either side of the walls.
Every mural depicted many exotic creatures.
"These are murals depicting ancient exotic beasts, and they are precious information we’ve preserved."
Chester explained as he walked.
Baiyu nodded, listening to him recount the exotic beasts on each mural with familiarity.
Soon.
After proceeding a certain distance, they arrived at a spacious room constructed of giant rocks.
The room had four pillars.
With nurous carvings on them.
Apart from that.
There was a large chandelier filled with candles on the ceiling.
The light dispelled the darkness, with the candle flas quietly burning, occasionally dripping wax.
The floor had accumulated a large area of wax stains.
The entire room was extrely spacious.
Except for the four pillars and the large chandelier, it was empty.
"Lord Bai, follow ."
Chester walked toward the end of the room and gently pressed a stone in the wall, and another secret door appeared.
As the secret door slowly opened.
Baiyu’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Behind the door.
There was unexpectedly a teleportation light gate.
Sothing usually found only in shelters.
Moreover, teleportation light gates generally needed pairing to use for fixed-point transmission.
This involved knowledge in space technology.
In all ancient technologies left behind, space technology is the least cracked and mastered knowledge.
It can even be said.
The East Prosperity Imperial hasn’t even touched this knowledge.
Not even entry-level.
Unexpectedly, here was a teleportation light gate.
If this were spread, who knows what uproar it would cause.
Seeing Baiyu’s gaze.
Chester quickly explained: "Lord Bai, you’re mistaken, this isn’t a teleportation light gate."
Baiyu was stunned and asked, "Then what is this?"
"A Spiritual Transmission Gate."
Chester said: "This gate can condense a spirit body using your spiritual power, allowing you to reach the eting place.
Our Divine Court etings are never held in reality.
One is for safety, the other is for privacy.
Of course.
Building such a gate is also the result of significant investnt by the upper levels of the Divine Court.
We have a base in every major city."
Only then did Baiyu understand.
Chester was rely the head of a base.
Not participating in today’s eting.
"By the way, Lord Bai, rember to wear the mask.
The spirit body matches your real appearance.
The mask the steward gave you earlier is made of special materials that can absorb spiritual power and coalesce on your spirit body."
Chester reminded once more.
Baiyu nodded, wore the mask, and placed his hand on the crystal ball next to the light gate as Chester instructed.
A gentle glow appeared.
Then.
Baiyu felt a slight suction, much like passing through a teleportation light gate.
But this ti, the sensation was different.
Plop...
His vision blurred, and his body felt weightless, descending before a solemn, dark palace.
The change in surroundings was so quick it was surprising.
A mont ago.
He was in the secret room of Chester’s mansion.
The next second, he found himself here.
"Spirit body..."
Baiyu touched himself.
As Chester said, it was indeed a spirit body.
Confirming there were no dangers or traps, he looked up at the black, heavy-styled palace in front of him.
The size.
That was his first impression.
The entire palace was as grand as those seen in fantasy films, extrely magnificent.
Even from afar, it felt suffocating.
The heaviness was almost overwhelming.
Baiyu stepped forward, and the palace’s giant door, suitable for a giant’s passage, opened on its own.
Two figures wearing black and white masks approached from inside.
Their appearance.
Was sowhat like the mythological Black and White Impermanence.
He restrained his shock, maintaining a calm face as he watched them approach, waiting silently.
"Guest, to walk within the Divine Court, an identity is needed."
The man wearing the black mask said as they stood before Baiyu: "Currently, there aren’t many identities for you to choose from."
After speaking.
With a wave of his hand, rows of neatly arranged attire appeared before them.
All were masks, clothes, and accessories.
Baiyu asked, "What is this?"
"The identity for walking in the Divine Court.
Since soone invited you to join the Divine Court, and you’ve made it here, you need a legitimate identity.
In the Divine Court.
No one interacts based on real appearance, na, or identity.
Only recognized by your code na and identity within the Divine Court."
The man in the white mask added.
A different kind of role-playing?
Baiyu awkwardly reached out for the set of clothes on the left, but when he touched it, his hand went straight through.
Baiyu was stunned.
"Sorry, this identity didn’t accept you."
The man in the black mask said.
Baiyu reached for another set, and unsurprisingly, his hand went through again.
This ti.
He stopped, looking at the two: "What if no suit accepts ?"
"Then it proves you have no fate with the Divine Court, and you can’t enter; you’ll go back the way you ca."
The man in the black mask said.
The man in the white mask chuckled, easing the atmosphere: "Though it may seem heartless, this is the Divine Court’s rule, and we’re rely following it, so please understand."
Baiyu said no more and continued to try.
But by the end of it.
None of them suited him.
Baiyu awkwardly said: "Does this an none of them accept ?"
The two were equally speechless.
Typically.
Newcors to the Divine Court always have at least one identity accept them.
They hadn’t faced a situation like this before.
"Do you have any more in stock, can I try another batch?" Baiyu asked.
The two were even more speechless.
Did he really think this was a clothing store where you could just get another set if nothing fit?
However.
This person was invited by a significant figure in the Divine Court, so they couldn’t just block his entry.
Black Impermanence waved again, revealing eight more sets of clothing and masks.
This ti.
Without Baiyu needing to move.
One of the outfits automatically flew towards him, fitting itself onto him, and the mask fell into his hand.
This was a silver-white mask.
On it.
Was the sign of a crescent moon.
Upon contact, the words appeared in Baiyu’s mind: Moon Lord.
