Lord of the Karmic Fate

Walking on the beautiful and well-polished silver stone pavement which led the way toward the recently erected Black Moon Guild, Bai Feng with several guards following him from behind approached Dan and Thomas while his gaze was fixed on the building behind the two.

"Although your look has changed tremendously, your taste in everything is still as extravagant as ever." Bai Feng ignore Dan's previous comment on his current exhausted look, and instead decided to give his opinion about the Black Moon Guild.

"It is called a nice lifestyle and not an extravagant taste." Dan showed a smile to which Bai Feng rolled his eyes and spread his arms.

Dan obviously just laughed and quickly gave his friend a hug that was shared only between buddies who have known each other for a long time.

"Hell, I wish I could see Isabella's face at this moment. I bet she would faint from the shock after seeing you like this." Bai Feng took a step back while he rested both his hands on either of Dan's shoulders.

Dan showed a somewhat melancholy look upon hearing his wife's name who about 9 years ago through unknown means vanished from the Earth's surface without any trace!

Bai Feng seemed to notice the emotions and the flashing memories within his close friend's eyes and a hint of guilt took over his heart.

"...I'm sorry." despite knowing that Dan was madly in love with his wife, he quickly took a step backward and apologized.

"Huh? What are you doing? You did nothing wrong." Dan quickly pushed all of his emotions back into his chest and "forced" Bai Feng to straighten his posture, "Also, you are President Bai, did you forget? So stop apologizing for pointless things as it will lead others to misunderstand things."

Bai Feng nodded his head and like a professional instantly put on a serious expression despite his eyes still holding a hint of regret.

"So? Where is that Realm Domain you have been talking about." Bai Feng asked, his eyes surveying the surroundings of both the mansion in the distance and the Black Moon Guild before him.

"Come, I will show you right away." Dan gestured for Thomas to lead the way to which Thomas gently bowed his head before walking toward the forest.

"We have arrived." Thomas turned around as he halted his steps, obviously not taking a step to the side in order to prevent Bai Feng from accidentally entering.

Bai Feng, just like the guards behind him, was confused and raised a brow at Dan, who as a response stepped beside Thomas and explained everything, even pointing at the almost invisible barrier just a meter away from him.

"This... So it was true indeed." Bai Feng took a step closer which resulted in his guards hired to protect his well-being reacting with a hint of anxiety.

"Relax, I won't cross the barrier." Bai Feng mumbled as he leaned closer to the barrier to get a better look and pondered silently.

After examining it for a few minutes Bai Feng straightened his posture and asked, "Have you sent others inside to explore the place?"

"About that..." Dan cleared his throat and explained that happened a few days ago, even mentioning the Evolution process.

"May I take a look at the items you have collected?" Bai Feng asked calmly.

Dan nodded and gestured for Thomas to take out the box which stored all the items they have collected. Of course, the ones that Darwin took away with him or the ones that could be consumed such as the Avatar Flasks were no longer within.

Thomas opened the lid of the box and took out numerous items before placing them on the ground in an orderly fashion.

Pouches filled with different materials, various objects that could be used for either crafting, blacksmithing, or alchemy, items that one could use for different means, and even a few accessories that increased one's Avatar Traits scarcely.

Of course, the accessories were not used because it turned out one could only wear one of the same types, meaning one couldn't wear two necklaces or two rings no matter if they increased different Traits.

"Y-You want to say that within that Domain shards turn into random items upon touch?" Bai Feng's eyes widened from pure disbelief.

Although he had already read hundreds if not several thousands of reports about various Realm Gates and even other Realm Domains appearing throughout the world, none of them talked about something like this!

Old Dan literally hit the jackpot with this one as just with the items on the ground alone could he nurture his guild members to the point where the other guilds will have no chance to compete against him!

While Bai Feng examined each item and read their description Thomas kept his vigilance, his sharp eyes especially fixed on Bai Feng's guards as almost all of their gazes were filled with greed.

Dan obviously noticed this too and made sure to keep his eyes on them. After all, while they were Bai Feng's guards, greed could easily blind anyone which was also including them!

After examining each item, Bai Feng took a step behind and asked, "You said the chance one could turn a shard into an item was solely dependent on one's luck, correct?"

Dan nodded, showing Bai Feng that he was right.

"Then how did you get so many items? I hope you don't wish to say you all were this lucky. There are over 350 items here!"

Dan glanced at the guards behind Bai Feng, his gaze especially lingering on one of them for a second before he walked beside his childhood friend and whispered words into his ear that only he could hear.

Meanwhile, Thomas quickly put all the items back into the box, ignoring the increasing greed directed at the box in his hand.

Bai Feng's eyes widened for a second once he heard Dan's words before he regained his composure and nodded his head, "I see. And where is he at this moment?"

"Haha... About that..." Dan showed an awkward smile, raising his right hand to scratch his cheeks.

Standing at the bottom of a tall hill which was surrounded by trees and large boulders from every direction, a young man wearing a black coat gazed toward the sky, beside him was a breathtaking beauty in a silver fur coat doing the same.

"It seems Darwin's source was right. This really is a White Realm Gate." holding his black hat with one hand, Raven exclaimed out loud, watching how the massive gate towered above his and Luna's head, enveloping half side of the hill in complete darkness!

"Hm?" while they were examining the majestic white door, suddenly Luna snapped her head to the left and narrowed her eyes.

"I think we have a company." Luna poked Raven gently on his side with her elbow, immediately drawing Raven's gaze from the gate to the direction where she was looking.

And soon enough, Raven also noticed as a group of four men, each in their middle twenties approached the two of them with different faces.
