"Ah?"
Mu Yang felt that he had too many questions today.
In his impression, although the title "Scarlet Sun" was good, it didn't seem to significantly boost his combat power.
Did Reincarnation Paradise want him to join a certain faction in that world and then break through from within?
Mu Yang's guess was somewhat close; Reincarnation Paradise was indeed interested in Scarlet Sun's Effect 2: Sun of the World.
Because "Sun of the World" had a rather subtle ability, which was to make Mu Yang's physical attributes align with the power system of that world.
For example, in Douluo Dalu, when Mu Yang's physical attributes reached demigod level, he could use spatial power like a Limit Douluo, and at the God King level, he could traverse continents with a single thought.
This wouldn't work with ordinary attributes, of course. It was more like a certain authority, an authority exclusive to the world's power system, and "Sun of the World" could allow Mu Yang to borrow this authority.
Mu Yang had suspected this for a long time, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.
Now, Reincarnation Paradise intended to strengthen this point, making Mu Yang more attuned to the star sea's power system, thereby increasing the possibility of establishing contact.
Since the primary enhancement target was Scarlet Sun, Mu Yang didn't feel much.
Enhancement complete. This ability cannot be significantly strengthened through ordinary means. Remaining rewards will be delivered in a few minutes.
Tip: Please prepare, Contractor. You will depart for an unknown world for a mission in one hour.
The first thing Mu Yang did after receiving the Paradise's notification was to open the Scarlet Sun panel.
Scarlet Sun
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise / Mu Yang Quality: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Category: Title · Rare Trait: Neutral Title Effect 1: Arrival (Passive): When the Contractor wears this title and enters a derivative world, he will gain an initial identity. This identity will have a certain status and will be a Neutral-Good or Neutral-Evil aligned identity.
Title Effect 2: Sun of the World (Passive): When the Contractor arrives in a world, his physical attributes will align with the power system of that world, and he will temporarily borrow the world's authority based on his strength.
When the Contractor participates in a world-level event and steers the outcome of the event towards "positive," there is a certain probability of receiving the world's bestowal.
Description: The sun illuminates the path forward for every world; therefore, the world will not refuse its arrival.
There wasn't much change; only one star was added, but the description for Effect 2 was more detailed.
Mu Yang thought it was acceptable, as enhancing Scarlet Sun wasn't the only reward; the Paradise still had more to give him later.
But why didn't they give it to him directly? Why send someone to deliver it instead?
"Knock knock"
Before Mu Yang could think much, he heard a knock on the door of his exclusive room.
Generally speaking, the doors of Contractors' exclusive rooms are invisible and untouchable to anyone except the Contractor himself, unless there's permission from the Contractor or special authority. It seemed the person who came this time was not simple.
Mu Yang opened the door, and his eyes met a tall man wearing a metal mask and loose gray-white robes.
This familiar mask and robe—
Could it be that adult?!
"The power of Blood Sun is truly rare."
That adult spoke with a sigh, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
"You are?"
"You can call me, Leader."
Although he had guessed from the appearance, it was only when the Leader truly revealed his identity that Mu Yang realized the seriousness of the situation.
What kind of person was the Leader? The Chosen One and Supreme Realm of the previous epoch! He could be said to be the strongest and spokesperson of Reincarnation Paradise.
And would such a person come to him for an ordinary special mission? Obviously impossible. This could only mean that this mission was of great importance, and its special nature far exceeded Mu Yang's imagination.
"You know me?"
The Leader looked at Mu Yang's somewhat shocked expression, asking with interest.
Although his reputation and prestige were very high, that was for the old antiques of the previous epoch in the Void. He was not active in this epoch, and besides, Mu Yang was only Tier 1, so it was unlikely he had come into contact with the Void.
"The name Phantom Troupe is very well-known in Reincarnation Paradise, and you should be that Leader of the Phantom Troupe. I am very surprised that such a figure would appear before me."
Hearing Mu Yang's answer, the Leader didn't press further but instead took out a mask and a bottle of pure blood-red potion.
The mask seemed to be just an ordinary white metal mask, with no special abilities or patterns other than its sturdiness, only a slight, weak effect of concealing aura.
Of course, this
weak
was relative to the Leader. If the Tier 1 Mu Yang wore it, it's estimated that no one would be able to perceive him for a short period.
This mask was a private gift from the Leader, while the potion was the Paradise's reward.

The blood candle's quality, rating, and Effect 2 were all question marks because Mu Yang's current authority was too low to know these things.
But just Effect 1, being able to increase all attributes by 3 points, was already outrageous. Converted, that's a full 15 attribute points!
However, the cost of developing five attributes simultaneously was incredibly high, so even if Mu Yang drank this potion, the actual improvement wasn't as great as he imagined.
After taking the potion and the mask, the Leader had already disappeared.
Where he had just stood, an invitation letter slowly floated down. Mu Yang picked it up and found it was an invitation from the Phantom Troupe. Phantom Troupe · Invitation Letter
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise Category: Invitation Letter Effect: After use, one can directly become a member of the Phantom Troupe, ranking 13.
Leader's message: There are no other positions besides number 13.
Selling price: soul crystal (small) * 2
Too many things had happened within a short 5 minutes, and each was more significant than the last, causing Mu Yang's brain to overload somewhat.
He first drank the blood candle potion in one gulp. A cold yet burning liquid flowed down his throat into Mu Yang's body, clearing his mind significantly.
Blood Sun seemed to sense something familiar, and its previously dormant power suddenly erupted.
Originally, a "non-aggression" contract had been signed, but Blood Sun's "untrustworthy" behavior also stimulated the other side, the pride of the sun. The two energies became a chaotic mess within his body, constantly colliding.
But strangely, this time, during the pain, blood candle continuously repaired Mu Yang's body and soothed his pain.
Soon, the potion was gradually absorbed by his body.
The restless Blood Sun gradually calmed down, becoming even quieter than before. A trace of impurity was gone from its power, making it purer.
"Is this potion specifically effective against Blood Sun?"
Mu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, took a deep breath, and suppressed the pride of the sun as well.
He glanced at the time; there were still 50 minutes until the mission began.
