His footsteps were no longer faltering, and he calmly looked at the lake surface, saying: "Half a year later, my blood qi started to weaken, and I could no longer see the Path to Legend."

"Xia's magic power concentration has declined too severely. What used to be a legendary talent is no longer enough to break through to Legendary."

"There are too few legendaries in Dawn. If there's any chance, I want to try, to bet on that one in ten thousand chance...."

His tone was no longer kind, becoming very serious.

"And at the moment when that group of marvels descended, the world's magic power concentration stopped declining and began to warm back up. You know what this represents."

"If you have enough talent, then why shouldn't I attempt a breakthrough? Why shouldn't I give you the position of City Lord? What are you afraid of?"

"I want..." Baiyi paused, then softly said: "To be powerful, with everything under control!"

As a time traveler, he was also paranoid, no exception, and it's been almost three years now.

His paranoia actually had decreased a lot. The Federation's desire for geniuses is completely written into the laws. This year is the Dawn Calendar year 1537, the duration of this Dark Era.

It is also the time of the Dawn Federation's founding, during which many forces and capital have emerged over the long period.

A family with a thousand years of history may not necessarily be a Legislator Clan, but their foundation is strong to an unfathomable degree.

Before obtaining the boss panel, he had no capital but had memory. Even if the players didn't arrive, he could still live well, just without the confidence to ascend to the supreme.

Now, however, he had a ladder to ascend to the supreme. The Border City is a special place, where no hands of Legislators' clans can reach.

This is the stage he wanted, but before stepping onto it, he wants to ensure he won't fall before reaching it.

Gold is the limit of this era. The rise of magic power will allow more geniuses to emerge, making breaking through advancements easier for them.

But this also means the ancient gods are closer to this world, a time of great competition, but also a beginning of danger.

The Old City Lord paused, his gaze becoming increasingly calm: "I can promise you, as long as you show enough talent, in half a year, everything will remain the same. Before I die, here in Dongwu City, no one can touch you!"

He reached out his hand, a powerful battle intent instantly converged, and the sky above the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became dark, and some prying gazes around disappeared in an instant.

Several ominous auras fell, the old lion showing those rats in the gloom its terrifying fangs for the first time.

The Old City Lord pressed down his hand, the powerful Power of Contract suddenly gathered, and the aura of the Abyss faintly appeared.

His cloudy eyes seriously stared at Baiyi, reaching out with a hand on which every clause of the Scarlet Contract was clearly visible: "We can sign the contract to ensure your path is unhindered!"

Baiyi was stunned.

The Federation's desire for genius had reached its extreme, but he didn't expect it could go to this level.

Moreover, this was a City Lord with real power and such strength.

He thought of the auction event, and before it happened, he wasn't held accountable for dragging the Apocalypse Legion into the mud and for secretly swallowing the Scarlet Sect's resources due to his absolute talent in Technology.

And during the auction, the Old City Lord stood on stage and gave him support in front of the entire Federation.

He was silent, bowed his head in thought, and after a long while, he looked up and met a pair of fiery eyes.

He shook his head, and the Old City Lord's gaze gradually dimmed, his once straight back slowly bending.

But in the next moment, 320,000 experience suddenly flooded into his level.

Bang!

A strong aura erupted from Baiyi, his level directly soaring from 42 to 44, Silver Upper Tier!

"There's no need for a contract; I can show you my talent."

Baiyi's eyes were calm, the terrifying spiritual power emanated through his body, distorting the space around.

The Old City Lord paused, a glimmer appeared in his cloudy eyes, murmuring excitedly: "Eighteen-year-old Silver Upper Tier, Golden Middle Tier spiritual power.... Divine-level Talent...."

The aura on Baiyi's body continued to climb, the Power of Contract flickering, and facing the aged old man before him, he decided to trust him for once.

The lifespan of a Human Race warrior at Golden Upper Tier is five hundred; at four hundred, their qi and blood power start declining.

And the City Lord was recorded to be four hundred and fifty, with no hope for a breakthrough. Doing this much was something Baiyi never expected.

In Baiyi's eyes, no person is perfect, and human weaknesses can never be erased, but this City Lord did what many cannot do.

The contract wasn't fake just now, and Baiyi had no reason not to trust him.

Since he wants to see it, Baiyi didn't mind showing him everything he currently had.

A strong malice faintly appeared around him, with scarlet phantoms flickering behind him.

The Old City Lord's shock was undisguised: "Evil Thought..."

He already received information about Baiyi purchasing forbidden knowledge. Young people have to venture, so he didn't intervene.

And now, he saw Baiyi's achievement, having actually tamed this forbidden modification with a 100% mortality rate!

And it had no effect on him, which couldn't be explained by talent alone. The Old City Lord's cloudy eyes were full of excitement, seeing the rise of a young legend.

These old guys are almost at their end; the elder who once held a sword has reached the end of his life; the future of the Federation always belongs to the young.

The few in the capital count, and now, a stronger new star is rising before him.

"Roar~"

A resounding dragon roar echoed, the terrifying Dragon Power pressing down on Dongwu City, with strong auras rising everywhere in an attempt to intercept the approaching giant dragon.

But the next moment, the dragon's speed suddenly increased, flying straight towards the City Lord's Mansion with a speed exceeding the Silver limit of Mach 5.

Buzzing sounds filled the air as shields were urgently activated but still couldn't stop the dragon's approach, instead imprisoning it inside!

Bang!

The dragon landed, dust billowed, and scarlet light shone from within the dust.

The imposing evil dragon, with an enormous oppressive aura, uttered a mechanical voice, humbly bowing its proud head to Baiyi: "Boss!"

Baiyi didn't respond to the dragon's greeting but kept his gaze on the excited eyes of the City Lord.

His voice was very calm, and some of the worry in his eyes began to dissipate:

"This is my current limit. Black Night Rose has Gold keeping an eye on me; I hope you will ensure my safety."
