Was that the end?
It felt way too short!
Bihua couldn't help but feel a strong sense of loss.
Although the prologue of the Sui and Tang chapter lasted less than half an hour, the density of content was incredible.
It had hype where it needed hype.
It had character development where it needed character development.
Suspense, drama, spectacle, and world-building—everything was there!
The watching Adventurers were completely drawn in. Not to mention Bihua, who had personally played the protagonist and experienced his emotions and memories firsthand. She was desperate to know what would happen next.
---
"After losing his master…"
"Jason Chen will begin his solo journey."
"Can he find his senior, Master Gregory?"
"Can he defeat his enemies and restore his kingdom?"
"This is just the beginning of the adventure. The Central Plains are vast—how many cultures, traditions, and powerful figures will we encounter?"
"My heart is itching like crazy!"
"How can anyone not look forward to this?"
"This is a perfect prologue!"
---
As her thoughts continued, Bihua's consciousness gradually separated from Jason Chen's body.
But strangely—
She didn't immediately return to the Secret Realm Lobby.
"Huh? I didn't exit. Is there more content?"
Her vision darkened.
Then suddenly—
An ancient jade slip appeared before her.
On it were engraved powerful words:
"The Ten Ancient Divine Artifacts."
---
The jade slip slowly unfolded.
Ancient, majestic music began to play.
One by one—
Illustrations of divine artifacts appeared before her eyes.
At the same time, they were displayed in the Secret Realm Crystal for all Adventurers to see.
Each artifact came with:
A mural-like illustration
A four-word title
A detailed description
Every image radiated ancient power and mystery.
---
Pangu Axe – Cleaving the Void
Refining Demon Pot – Refining All Things
Sky Tower – Absorbing Stars and Shifting the Moon
Celestial Bell – Gateway to the Heavens
Kunlun Mirror – Reversing Time
Shennong Cauldron – Creating Immortal Medicine
Nuwa Stone – Resurrection and Rebirth
Kongtong Seal – Eternal Life
Fuxi Zither – Controlling Minds
Xuanyuan Sword – Supreme Power
---
As the scroll fully opened, everyone stared in shock.
"Holy crap!"
"I didn't expect this!"
"An easter egg after the prologue?!"
"This is insane!"
---
Time Traveler muttered:
"These correspond exactly to the ten divine artifacts Master Ethan Chen mentioned earlier."
Moonlight said:
"So this is the legacy of the Central Plains… Every one of these looks insanely powerful!"
Blackstone Hammer King shouted:
"Even if we just hunt for these artifacts, this Secret Realm is worth grinding dozens of times!"
---
The entire crowd erupted.
---
In most Secret Realms, Lords attract players by placing rare loot or powerful enemies.
Even if the content is average—
As long as the rewards are good, people will come.
But here?
The Sui and Tang chapter revealed all ten divine artifacts right at the start.
This wasn't just content.
This was branding.
---
Soon—
The news of the Ten Divine Artifacts would spread across regions.
Adventurers from hundreds or even thousands of miles away would come just to experience this.
Miracle City would explode in popularity.
---
"Perfect… absolutely perfect…"
This was Ran Tianyun's final evaluation.
Any remaining doubt he had about Miracle City—
Was gone.
---
Before arriving, he thought the gap between him and Qi Ji was like:
A small tree vs a big tree.
Now?
It felt like:
A mayfly looking up at the sky.
---
There was no comparison.
No jealousy.
Only awe.
---
"This world…"
"It's too rich."
"Even I want to enter and experience it…"
He paused.
"…Wait. I'm a Lord. Why am I thinking like an Adventurer?"
---
Because—
This Secret Realm was addictive.
---
Ran Tianyun quickly realized something else:
This was a massive opportunity.
---
Miracle City would soon attract millions of players.
But it couldn't hold all of them.
Overflow traffic would go elsewhere.
And the closest major city?
Tianyun City.
---
If handled correctly—
This could be a massive economic boom.
---
"I need to strengthen ties with Qi Ji."
"Immediately."
---
Meanwhile—
Back in the lobby—
Bihua had returned and was discussing with others.
---
"Ashina Country was already amazing," she said.
"But this… this feels completely different."
"Qi Ji didn't just copy success—he evolved it."
"This is going to be something huge."
---
"Magnificent Sui and Tang…"
"Magnificent Central Plains!"
---
Some players hesitated:
"Do you really think all ten artifacts exist?"
"Maybe only one or two are real, and the rest are just hype."
---
Mao Mengmeng laughed:
"You must be new."
---
Nancilia added:
"If Qi Ji mentioned ten, then ten exist."
"Whether you can get them—that's another story."
---
Baihe Jushi nodded:
"Collecting these artifacts is probably the main storyline."
---
Time Traveler added:
"I'm more curious about the 'Tang' in Sui and Tang…"
---
"Maybe another empire?" someone guessed.
"Possible!"
---
Meanwhile—
Ran Tianyun joined their discussion.
For the first time—
He felt the joy of being part of the crowd.
---
Inside the Lord's Mansion—
Qi Ji observed everything quietly.
---
The prologue had been easy to create.
But what came next?
Would be far harder.
---
He wanted to recreate:
Grand cities like Daxing and Yangzhou
Historical side stories
Legendary figures
---
But that required:
Massive resources
Careful refinement
---
Still—
No rush.
---
From the players' reactions, one thing was clear:
The defining word of this chapter was—
Grandeur.
---
Unlike Ashina's tight, intense design—
This world was vast.
Epic.
Civilization-scale.
---
Ashina = precision combat.
Sui & Tang = massive world-building.
---
Both had their strengths.
---
Qi Ji had already decided:
This chapter would use a time-based billing model.
A preparation for future MMO-style Secret Realms.
---
Back in the lobby—
Adventurers continued exploring.
---
Ran Tianyun watched Ashina gameplay.
Even though he had seen clips before—
Watching it live was different.
---
Every clash.
Every movement.
Every mechanic.
---
It felt…
Alive.
---
He finally understood:
Qi Ji's worlds weren't random creations.
They were complete systems.
Fully formed.
---
That's why everything felt natural.
---
Suddenly—
A voice shouted:
"The Guild Leader is farming a Headless and Stone Sentinel soul!"
"What?!"
---
The crowd gathered instantly.
Even Ran Tianyun became interested.
---
After all—
These creatures were among the most terrifying in Ashina.
Tier 3 undead monsters.
Rare.
Powerful.
Deadly.
---
And worth the risk.
