Absolute Death Game-Chapter 496 - 57 GM Scepter_2
```
"You should know that every game goes through version updates, right? This game is no different, but the version update isn't decided by the officials; it occurs automatically based on the players' actions within the game. The first version of this game was called 'Absolute Death Domain: Ancient War.' Logically, we should have moved on to the next version by now, but because of the system, we are actually still on the original version. The second version of the game is called 'Absolute Death Domain: King of Men'."
To trigger this new version, the condition is quite simple: if a nation can unite the entire continent, then its king would be granted the title of King of Men. And once a King of Men appears, the game would automatically progress to the next version, and the system would reset."
Based on the original estimates, a King of Men should have emerged long ago, but because the system aimed to protect its own rule, it constantly interfered and even created a new race named 'Divine Race' to control and maintain the balance of power across the continent. Therefore, there has never been a unified nation on this land—it has always been a divided situation."
"So all you need to do in this game is to establish a nation, create an army, defeat the other guilds or empires, and ultimately unite the continent. This would advance the game to a new version and reset the system. Once the system is reset, we, as GMs, would have a chance to regain control." The old man finished saying all this in one breath, then looked at Xiao Buli, who was staring wide-eyed with his mouth open and suddenly smiled a little awkwardly.
No wonder Xiao Buli was so shocked after hearing the old man's words. Build an empire and unite the continent? Damn, I already leave managing a bandit lair to others; do I look like someone who would build an empire?
Not to mention those scattered empires that have been established for a long time, just the recent rise of the Demon Clan will also be a huge obstacle for me. How long will it take for me, Xiao Buli, to unite the continent? Three years? Ten years? By then, the system would have probably conquered Earth and even started attacking other planets with its developed technology.
"Got any more realistic plans?" Xiao Buli flatly rejected that plan without explanation.
"Don't worry, we will help you," the rich man replied hastily, trying to pull the conversation back, "Moreover, you don't have to defeat all those forces outside; as long as they submit to you, it counts as conquest. If necessary, you can negotiate with them, telling them the truth."
"Even if I tell them, they have to believe it, don't they? Why would they submit to me just because I blabber some stuff? Do you really think that by waggling my Golden Finger around for a couple of days, I could exude an aura that makes people bow down to me?" Xiao Buli was getting incoherent.
Suddenly, he had a brainwave, "Right, you're GMs, aren't you? Why don't you just spawn like ten or eight Divine Artifacts for me, then maybe there'd be a chance of success."
"We can't give you Divine Artifacts or anything like that; we GMs can't violate the game's rules. However, there is something good that can help you."

"Well, this is the GM staff, with it, you can teleport yourself to any location in the game at any time, and you can also view the attributes, skills, and information of all the monsters in the game, even those you haven't encountered. Moreover, you can look at all the maps and instances. You could say that you know the game inside out," the old man said, completely ignoring his complaint as he began to explain the large cane he had been gripping in his hand, which was shaped like a giant question mark. Xiao Buli, familiar with game combat, immediately fell silent, his mouth forming an 'O' as he gazed at the inconspicuous staff.
Knowing the game like the back of his hand meant what? It meant Xiao Buli could organize his subordinates to enter instances and farm equipment at will, it meant he could design tactics in advance based on the terrain when fighting others, it meant that he could use the terrain or the monsters in the game to achieve victory, and it meant he had an advantage that others could not possibly have. Not to mention the ability to teleport to any location in the game without any external aid, he was practically a big BUG in the game.
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Buli closed his gaping mouth and suddenly asked with impudence, aiming to grab as many benefits as possible now that he had the upper hand.
This time, the old man closed his mouth, did not answer, but instead turned his head to the old wealthy man. As soon as the old wealthy man caught the old man's gaze, he quickly looked away, pretending to be interested in something else. However, the old man did not give up, his gaze intense as he continued to stare at him. After a while, the bearded man also began to fix his gaze on the old wealthy man.
"Alright, alright," the old wealthy man suddenly seemed unable to take it any longer and exclaimed loudly, "There is also the Omniscient Eye—this crystal ball. By injecting your internal energy into it, you can see any place you want. It's the only defense system we have here. Giving it to you is a desperate move on my part, you must succeed." The old wealthy man's hands suddenly produced a crystal ball, the very one he had used earlier to see Xiao Buli arrive at the seaside. Although he said this, his hands couldn't stop caressing the crystal ball. It had been with him for over a hundred years and was one of the few magical treasures that still worked on the island, so it was no wonder he was reluctant to part with it.
Wow, this was a windfall. Xiao Buli stifled a smile. With this crystal ball and staff, he was practically like a modern combatant. Not only could he check the maps, monsters, instances, and other information at any time, but he could also view the real-time situation on site. What was even more excessive was that he could teleport there at any moment—it was an existence that defied the heavens.

However, considering the tasks he faced, Xiao Buli knew that victory was still far away. War wasn't won by a single person, even if that person was a god.
After acquiring two treasures, Xiao Buli also learned how to use them from the two GMs. During this time, he told them about his friend Bai Yunfei's predicament in the Endless Desert. After looking it up, the two found out that Bai Yunfei could leave the desert, as long as he did so within seven days of exiting the cave. That way, he could escape the fate of being constantly respawned. However, if Bai Yunfei died outside the desert, it would be a true death. Since he used the Reincarnation of the Corpse Ghost, his soul wouldn't be able to enter the underworld after death. Xiao Buli thought it over and decided his first stop would be Bai Yunfei's location. After all, Bai Yunfei had his own consciousness, unlike those content and transformed NPCs in his team. If he were to spend eternity in a desert devoid of anything, who knows if he would eventually become twisted from the monotony.
After chatting with the three GMs for a bit longer and confirming there was nothing else to aid him, Xiao Buli said his farewells and left. The staff's powers would activate once he left the GM Island region. Xiao Buli flew across the seashore using Cloud Thunder Leap and arrived in the desert. Only then did he land on the ground. Although he was sure there were no other people in the endless desert, the GMs had instructed him to ensure there were no NPCs around when using the two magical treasures, as there was a high chance the system would detect this and persecute him. After ensuring this, Xiao Buli then infused internal energy into the staff, his destination being Bai Yunfei's cave.
In an instant... well, there were no flashes of light. Xiao Buli disappeared as though through a low-budget TV effect; one second he was at the original spot, and the next second he vanished without any additional effects. This was probably to avoid system detection. After all, if every time Xiao Buli teleported, there was a burst of rainbow light making a whooshing noise, it wouldn't be long before everybody knew about such a thing.
The scenery before his eyes changed, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that familiar sandy landscape again. (To be continued.
