The post states that recently, a large-scale transformation has occurred in the Night Wandering Deity’s Spirit Realm. Many previously recorded Spirit Realm instances have undergone changes—difficulty levels have increased, and they are now transformed into entirely new, unexplored instances. Their difficulty has reached A-level or even S-level. Numerous Night Wandering Deities scheduled to enter the Spirit Realm recently have been assigned these challenging instances, resulting in their loss. The poster is one of the forum administrators—this effectively constitutes an official announcement. "Are there now many A-level and S-level Spirit Realm instances specifically for the Night Wandering Deities?" Zhang Yuanqing was momentarily surprised. The Spirit Realm operates with a balancing and matching mechanism: level 1 has its own set of instances, level 2 has its own, and so on. Occasionally, a level 1 Pilgrim may enter a level 2 instance, but receives relatively simpler tasks. In general, the tasks assigned by the Spirit Realm might be difficult, leading to high mortality rates; however, it is unlikely that a level 1 Pilgrim would receive tasks equivalent to those expected of a level 3 Pilgrim. Additionally, within each corresponding level’s instances, there are five difficulty ratings—S through D. The S-level represents the current ceiling in terms of difficulty: the mortality rate is staggering, yet rewards are most abundant. Later reflecting on this, Zhang Yuanqing recalled that even without the Divine Object (Red Dance Shoes), the probability for a newcomer to successfully complete the She Ling Tunnel trial was less than ten percent. Now with so many newly established A-level and S-level instances, how many will have to fall? Zhang Yuanqing’s first thought was: Wow, I'm nearly entering the Spirit Realm now—does that mean I still have time to switch my career path?! His second thought was: Ah, then next time I enter, it's likely to be a Group Type Organization instance—I’ll be fine. He felt a subtle sense of relief and then scrolled down to read the official perspectives from the Spirit Realm Pilgrims. Once posted, the announcement sparked widespread excitement within the official organization. Pilgrims at various branches across regions were paying close attention—over one thousand comments had accumulated in the discussion thread. [Looking Ahead: "I finally understand why my Night Wandering Deity contacts have suddenly gone unreachable…"] [Going Away with Many Sorrowful Moments: "Wait, you have a Night Wandering Deity contact? You’ve been hiding that well!"] [Ancient and Unruly: "Something is off. Although Spirit Realm instances are inherently dynamic and change over time, this particular transformation of the Night Wandering Deity's exclusive instances feels abrupt and unreasonable.] [The Sovereign Is Suffering: "Could it be linked to the death of the Demon King? I heard from personnel at Taiyi Gate that the Demon King recently passed away."] [Green Vine: "Who told you about the Demon King’s demise—was it Yuan Ting?"] The Five Elements Alliance has so far responded primarily with curiosity and interest, since this issue specifically involves Night Wandering Deities and does not directly affect them. Still, some members have expressed growing concern. [Please Call Me Queen: "Our operations depend heavily on Night Wandering Deities. Moreover, the recently deceased Glimpsing Judge—now we are actively guarding against outbreaks of The Fallen Ones. In addition, Songhai is responsible for tracking down Black Unconstants. At this critical juncture, a disruption in Night Wandering Deity instances might lead to personnel shortages."] [Green Vine: "Indeed, such a situation will arise—but not every Night Wandering Deity will enter the Spirit Realm soon."] Spirit Realm tasks do not occur frequently enough to cause mass casualties. [Please Call Me Queen: "Yet they will eventually enter. With so many newly developed instances that have never been explored, the number of Night Wandering Deities is expected to decline significantly over the coming period."] In the process of navigating Spirit Realm trials, some level of sacrifice is always inevitable. The Queen’s observation was truly valid—eventually, I must enter a solo instance. S-level and A-level instances are daunting, especially since my character card is that of a Demon King. Zhang Yuanqing found himself increasingly weighed down by this realization. After exiting the forum, he opened his chat application and sent a message to Yuan Ting: "Captain Yuan, I’ve read the pinned post on the forum—the cause of the difficulty changes in Night Wandering Deity Spirit Realm instances? Can I pay for consultation?" A professional inquiry required a conversation with an expert. Yuan Ting replied promptly: "I’m not entirely sure. The official Night Wandering Deity groups are all buzzing—colleagues scheduled to enter or soon-to-enter the Spirit Realm are deeply anxious, especially since S-level instances are not easy to pass—even A-level tasks rely heavily on luck. 'I also don’t yet know what has specifically occurred. The Council is gathering data and should issue an official announcement by tonight.'" Yuan Ting’s mood wasn't particularly optimistic because one of his close colleagues entered the Spirit Realm this morning and had not yet emerged—his fate remains uncertain. And in about two weeks, Yuan Ting himself will face a solo instance, which will be within a week's deviation from his schedule. "Understood," said Zhang Yuanqing—he didn’t pursue further questions. …… Over the course of the next half-day, Zhang Yuanqing checked the official forum periodically to stay updated—his heart was no longer at ease with shopping outings. At dusk, Aunt, holding his arm, led him home. Zhang Yuanqing carried a full set of shopping bags. "Hmm, has your strength increased?" Jiang Yu Ei gently pressed on Zhang Yuanqing’s shoulders: "You’re so solid now…" If I were Guan Ya, I would say, “My strength exceeds your expectations” or “I’ve got even stronger,” but Zhang Yuanqing merely responded casually: "My body is the foundation of any revolution—I've been exercising regularly." After dinner, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his bedroom and locked the door—anticipating an announcement from Taiyi Gate. He could imagine that at this very moment, official Night Wandering Deities across the country were similarly holding their smartphones or computers, waiting for an official statement. Finally, by 9:30 PM, while continuously refreshing the forum, he came across a pinned post marked in red: #Recent Spirit Realm Transformation Statement and Reward Announcement# "Recently, an unexpected incident has occurred in the Night Wandering Deity’s Spirit Realm. After investigation by the Council, it has been confirmed that this anomaly is caused by the revival of a high-level boss within the realm. As of now, eight instances have undergone grade changes: [MINGHU TOWN, No. 0128—S-level (Night Wandering Deity Exclusive)] [THE MING DYNASTY GRAVEFIELD, No. 1180—S-level (Night Wandering Deity Exclusive)] [NEW FENG RESERVOIR, No. 1910—A-level (Night Wandering Deity Exclusive)] [YINSHAN GHOST SCHOOL, No. 0046—A-level (Night Wandering Deity Exclusive)] [THE SEALS OF THE KING, No. 0277—A-level (Night Wandering Deity Exclusive)] [JIN SHUI AMUSEMENT PARK, No. 6203—S-level (Group Type Organization, Death-based)] [SCREAMING ROOM, No. 2097—A-level (Group Type Organization, Non-death)] [UNIT 13 APARTMENT, No. 1404—B-level (Group Type Organization, Non-death)] [As of today, both YINSHAN GHOST SCHOOL and NEW FENG RESERVOIR have been successfully explored. The remaining six instances remain unexplored. The Council has launched a reward program: Completing an S-level instance earns B-level merit; completing an A-level instance earns C-level merit; completing a B-level instance earns a reward of 500,000 units.]" This post was transferred from the official forum of Taiyi Gate. Notably, in the organizational hierarchy, A-level merits are typically awarded to those who have sacrificed—benefiting their families. B-level meritorious status is usually granted to individuals suffering irreversible injuries. C-level merit is a benchmark achievable by regular Spirit Realm Pilgrims—but remains challenging and often requires teamwork. Currently, only five Grand Masters have ever achieved S-level merit; among the exceptional Elders, only a few have earned A-level merit. Thus, B-level merit holds substantial value. After reading the content of this post, Zhang Yuanqing found that over one thousand comments had already accumulated—making the impact far greater than that of the midday announcement. Because the Five Elements Alliance personnel realized that this issue was no longer merely an event of passive observation: among the instances identified by Taiyi Gate, two are Group Type Organizations. The presence of such Group Type Organization instances means that members from other career paths also have a chance to enter these trials. [Looking Ahead: "Are those two 'Group Type Organization' instances infused with supernatural elements? My goodness—so even Group Type Organizations are affected! Fortunately, only one instance—the Jin Shui Amusement Park—is at S-level."] [Please Call Me Queen: "Firstly, no one knows how long this sudden disruption will last—we’re seeing only what has happened so far. Should more instances with supernatural elements be impacted, we’ll face serious challenges. Secondly, even non-death trials result in experience points being deducted upon failure—this could directly cause a decline in our capabilities."] [Going Away with Many Sorrowful Moments: "Ah, I was just enjoying the view earlier and suddenly this has happened—what do I do now? I’m scheduled to enter a Group Type Organization instance soon—I hope I won’t be so unlucky."] [Little Pig George: "If these Spirit Realm instances aren't explored early enough, within six months, the official Night Wandering Deity numbers will sharply decline—and other career paths might also be affected. What kind of boss is this? It’s pushing Taiyi Gate to issue a reward announcement."] [Green Vine: "Please pay attention—this reward notice has been issued for all Night Wandering Deities nationwide. If you have contacts among the Night Wandering Deities or know any wild Night Wandering Deity individuals, kindly share it with them."] [White Dragon: "Are you serious? The exploration of Night Wandering Deity instances is primarily a matter concerning Night Wandering Deities—what we truly need to focus on now is the successful completion of Group Type Organization instances. That’s what truly affects our safety and survival."] [Going Away with Many Sorrowful Moments: "Agreed, agreed—seeking urgent expeditions for 'Jin Shui Amusement Park,' 'Screaming Room,' and 'Unit 13 Apartment' instances!"] So even Group Type Organization instances have been affected?! Zhang Yuanqing stared at his screen, momentarily stunned. Then, the sharp sound of his smartphone ringing interrupted him. It was Li Dongze calling. Zhang Yuanqing answered and greeted, "Chief." Li Dongze spoke with gravity: "Did you check the forum today?" "If you're referring to the Night Wandering Deity Spirit Realm transformation, I’ve already heard about it," Zhang Yuanqing sighed. "Please don’t be overly concerned—when a great storm comes, someone tall will bear its weight. Perhaps by the time your solo instance arrives, Taiyi Gate has already explored these high-difficulty instances. Have confidence in the official organization," Li Dongze reassured him. He added casually to lighten the mood: "Of course, if you’re confident in yourself, you can also take on the responsibility of exploring the instances." But that would be difficult. "Did you call just to comfort me?" Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively. "There are two matters. You're scheduled for an instance soon, aren’t you? Based on past experience, it should be a Group Type Organization instance—also, you know the level-matching mechanism. Fu Bai Fu Chang discovered that Jin Shui Amusement Park is actually at an Elevated Realm level. To be safe, he has used his authority to retrieve your old-style guide material from earlier versions—for reference only," Li Dongze said with serious tone. "Remember: this is merely for reference—since the Spirit Realm instances have already changed, overly relying on the older guides could prove fatal." How does Fu Bai Fu Chang manage to juggle so many Rabbit Lady organizations and still care about me—the small-time member? Zhang Yuanqing was deeply touched. Li Dongze reiterated his reassurance: "We’re merely being cautious. You shouldn’t feel excessive pressure—there are relatively few Group Type Organization instances at the Elevated Realm level, and it’s unlikely that your specific instance will match 'Jin Shui Amusement Park'." May it be so—Chief, you don't know—I’m a Demon King character card! Zhang Yuanqing asked: "What about the second matter?" "It's regarding Lei Yibing."
