[Welcome to the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath.]

[Would you like to spend 180 Spiritual Points to temporarily acquire the common language of this world, and adjust your appearance and clothing?]

Bai Pu chose yes.

His first venture into the world of Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin was a trial task, and his second entry into the Plane World of Three Kingdoms: Chibi was a college entrance exam subject, where the Spirit Realm Will automatically helped him acquire the language and adjust his appearance and clothing for free.

This time, the Heart Demon: Oath Plane World journey was Bai Pu's first time using a ticket (anchor) to explore the Spirit Realm, so there was no free benefit.

After an invisible ripple, Bai Pu temporarily acquired a language in his mind, and his appearance and clothing changed significantly.

Speaking of appearance, under the condition of not affecting the Hidden Attribute: Charm, it's a different style of elegance, akin to Bai Gu and Yan Zu in the Common Era.

Bai Pu focused on observing his illusionary clothing, which was a coarse cloth garment with diagonal edges, a hemp rope tied around the waist, and straw sandals on his feet.

A bit like the ancient civilian clothing style mixing Huaxia and East Japan, which matched well with Bai Pu's civilian identity corresponding to the ticket.

The information from Spirit Realm Will slowly unfolded, providing Bai Pu with simple data about this world.

[Heart Demon: Oath]

[Time: Yongzheng Period]

[Region: Heart Demon Continent - Black Tortoise Mountain Range]

[Strength: 1.8]

[Background: This is a world where humans and demon ghosts coexist. Martial Artists draw power from demon ghosts as weapons, losing themselves in slaughter. Terrifying demons have emerged, and the Human-Demon War has begun. The Demon Extermination Oath is passed down through generations.]

Bai Pu's landing place was a slightly dark forest.

The first impression the Heart Demon World gave Bai Pu was oppressive.

The sky had lead-gray clouds, as if always shrouded in cold fog. Occasionally, the sun could be seen, but the sun was pale, and mortal eyes could stare at it for a long time.

In Bai Pu's palm, the fragment of the worn saber sheath floated up, turning into fine points of light that merged into Bai Pu's body.

[The anchor you used is of D-level.]

[Your initial identity level in this world is: Civilian.]

[The initial time you can stay freely in this world is: 3 days. Please try to trigger and complete the main task within 3 days; failing to trigger the main task in time will result in your banishment.]

The words 'banishment' were in blood-red font, just like the punishment for failing the main task, which was being banished into the spatial turbulence.

Within 3 days, trigger the first phase of the main task.

This isn't too difficult, as the first phase of the main task is very easy to trigger; usually, one only needs to join a "major faction" in this world and complete the task given by the faction's upper echelon.

The major factions refer to Cao Army, Liu Bei's Army, and Sun Quan's Army in the Chibi scene, forces that have a significant impact on the progression of the plot.

Factions like Wu County Lu Clan and even Four Rivers Gang, small forces, only trigger side tasks, which don't count.

"According to the information, Heart Demon: Oath world has two major camps: the Oath Camp inclined towards justice, protecting humanity, and the entirely evil Demon Camp."

Trying to join the Demon Camp is extremely difficult.

Because in the world background, "demon ghosts" are bloodthirsty spirit bodies that only know slaughter, their desire for human flesh and blood is deeply ingrained, and they are numerous.

"Demons" are demon ghosts that have taken over human bodies and devoured human souls. Because they have consumed human souls, demons possess intelligence but inherit the demon ghost's craving for human flesh, and similarly only slaughter.

In such a situation, unless the Awakened one's initial identity is a demon—which, of course, requires advanced ticket affixes—it's hard to join the Demon Camp with a human body.

The Demon Camp has great advantages in this world, because many of the strong individuals in the Guardian Camp use demon powers to fight, and during slaughter, they are subtly influenced by the demon power.

Once the mind falls, the strong of the Guardian Camp will fall to the demon side, becoming demons.

Each time a strong individual falls into a demon, the damage to the Guardian Camp is far greater than just losing a strong individual!

So joining the Demon Camp benefits the great trend of this world.

Generally speaking, Awakened ones who join the Demon Camp often have some dark personality traits and can nonchalantly slaughter their kind, even killing for pleasure.

Bai Pu is relatively calm and rational; if necessary, he doesn't mind joining the Demon Camp but won't go out of his way to squeeze in.

What about the world trend? Awakened ones don't necessarily have to join strong camps.

The victory of the camp one is in doesn't equal the victory of the Awakened.

In Bai Pu's view, there are also many good things to be gained in the Guardian Camp. According to intelligence, the Guardian Camp has four heritage families, each guarding the four regions of the Heart Demon Continent.

Each heritage family has been passed down for hundreds of years, with the legendary divine beasts as their totems, deeply rooted.

The heritage family guarding the north Black Tortoise Mountain Range is the Beiming Family, with the divine beast Black Tortoise as their totem. If one can rise to high tier reputation within the Beiming Family, great benefits will certainly follow.

Bai Pu strides forward, feeling a slight softness underfoot.

Among the gloomy trees, a thick layer of humus lay, formed from decayed leaves and animal remains. This served as a constant source of nourishment for this gloomy forest.

Suddenly, Bai Pu halted his steps.

By his side, the bark of a large tree was torn, revealing yellowish-white wood tissue, and on its surface was a black-red dot-like stain.

Ordinary people may not notice this slight anomaly, but Bai Pu's observation skills were as good as those of a high-definition camera, coupled with strong information analysis capabilities, everything he sees remains in his mind, being thoroughly understood.

He stepped forward, gently pinching the tree trunk, quickly making a judgment.

"This black-red stain... should be dried blood. Judging by the elongated, dotted distribution, it seems to be splattered blood, at least from a day ago!"

Bai Pu squinted his eyes, and when he lifted his gaze again, he had already chosen a direction and strode over!

A layer of faint blue ripples visible only to Bai Pu spread out, extending ten meters around.

This was Bai Pu's activation of Mental Scan ability after having Wu County Lu Clan's Identity Jade Token, meeting the Spirit Attribute requirements.

At the end of the path, Bai Pu saw a corpse.

A headless corpse.

Bai Pu's expression remained calm, his heart unfazed, as he knelt down to examine the condition of this corpse.

The clothing on this headless corpse was quite exquisite, with a turtle-bodied, snake-tailed pattern embroidered on the back. It wore a dark green jade ring on its finger, indicating it was a prominent native person.

The neck stump had a smooth and neat cut, as if decapitated by some extremely sharp weapon.

When Bai Pu touched the corpse, the Spirit Realm Will suddenly transmitted a message:

[You encountered an opportunity for faction selection.]

[A: Take the headless corpse to one of the main cities in the Guardian Camp.]

[B: Eat the heart of the headless corpse.]

[Countdown to choose: 10, 9, 8, 7...]

As soon as the countdown started, Bai Pu was already prepared for battle, directly drawing out the sharp long saber!

He chose not to eat the heart of the headless corpse—this was clearly the prerequisite task to join the Demon Camp.

So, from this deduction, what happens after eating the heart to join the Demon Camp?

It's very likely there were demons nearby watching!

The lurking demons, seeing Bai Pu's inhuman act of eating the heart, would approach out of curiosity or approval, interacting with Bai Pu and giving him the real test for entering the Demon Camp!

Conversely, if Bai Pu chose to take the headless corpse back to the main city, choosing to rely on the Guardian Camp.

Then, how would the lurking demons react?

These thoughts revolved in Bai Pu's brain several times in an instant! That's why Bai Pu was immediately ready for battle.

Whoosh! A very faint sound rang out, like the vibration of a crossbow.

Bai Pu suddenly rolled and dodged. A tree behind him was pierced through with a small hole! Imagine if Bai Pu hadn't sidestepped and avoided it, he would have ended up like that tree.

Demons have arrived!
