A glance across the panel revealed nothing but blank spaces, except for a dilapidated Thatched Lord’s Mansion, with nothing else to speak of.

Shaking his head, he flipped back to the first page, the personal attributes panel.

As expected, there were changes there as well.

Apart from [Level], [Profession], [Talent], [Attributes], [Cultivation Technique] which remained unchanged, the rest were either sealed or greatly weakened.

In the equipment column, all gear was frozen, providing Zi Liyuan with not a single bonus.

In the space column, except for the Nether Crystal Core (multicolored), all other items were sealed and couldn’t be used or taken out.

In the skills column, apart from skills below First Order, the majority of the skills were in a sealed state.

Looking at the skill column, Zi Liyuan appeared thoughtful.

He noticed that any skill mutated and strengthened with the Nether Crystal Core (multicolored) were all usable, and so were those mutated with scrolls.

Zi Liyuan immediately turned his attention to the "Summon Hell Demon Puppet (purple)" skill.

Just as he was about to summon Lao Tie, the system notification sound echoed in his ear again.

[Ding, Lord Zi Liyuan, if you wish to use the "Summon Hell Demon Puppet (purple)" skill to summon professional hero units, you must build an exclusive Blue Star altar!]

(?o?)…

Lord Zi, with a face full of confusion, clicked on the system notification and checked the details.

He discovered that because Lao Tie had activated a professional panel and was classified as a professional hero unit, establishing a unique altar to connect with Blue Star was needed to summon him.

The same was true for Black Dragon Sister Dailisi, Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship, Spider Queen, and the epic beasts—they all required a special Blue Star altar to be recruited.

"What bullshit is this? I am a grand Dead Mage, a master of summoning specialization, and now I can only call forth some Skeleton Cannon Fodder? Am I not allowed to summon a single powerful unit?"

Li Yuan had to let out a curse internally to feel slightly better!

Huh, exhaling deeply, Zi Liyuan’s gaze shifted towards the first summoning skill he had mutated and strengthened.

Your journey continues at empire

Suddenly, he felt as if he was in a completely different world.

He vividly remembered, right after his job awakening, it was with the help of these meager summoned cannon fodders that he roamed abroad, sweeping through dungeons with the sheer numbers of Undead Skeletons.

Past the dark and death-related skills mutated with the Nether Crystal Core (multicolored), Zi Liyuan looked at the general skill series.

Initially, he had learned hundreds of general skills, which were eventually fused and mutated with scrolls and ended up with only four mutated fusion skills—Elemental Arrow, Anti-Magic Array, Blessing of Heaven and Earth, Elemental Map.

Now, these four skills were still usable.

However, the Anti-Magic Array required materials to set up an array, and since the materials were sealed in the space column and could not be taken out, this skill was temporarily useless.

The other three were very good, one for offense, one for support, and one for exploration.

Thinking of exploration, Zi Liyuan immediately released his Spirit, ready to check out his surroundings.

However, he suddenly realized that his entire Spirit was in a dormant state, completely unable to extend beyond his body!

"Damn it! The scanning and locking function of the Spirit also can’t be used, isn’t this suppression too severe?"

Without the ability to scan, he couldn’t use the Spirit to check his surroundings.

Without locking on, using spells to attack these targets can’t guarantee a hundred percent hit rate.

The suppression of the Sea of Realms is equivalent to severely weakening the strength of mages who have just arrived in the Sea of Realms.

It’s truly like being cast from heaven into hell, where one can say that only a tenth of their strength remains.

With a sigh, Zi Liyuan began constructing spiritual rune sequences for "Elemental Map" and "Death’s Eye" in his mind.

Fortunately, the Dragon Academy requires all students to learn how to control the power of the Elemental Origin.

Lord Zi had already mastered this and was thoroughly familiar with his skill rune sequences.

In less than two seconds, "Elemental Map" and "Death’s Eye" were released by him.

Wherever his eyes swept across, clusters of life energy appeared, some near and some far away.

At the same time, a map of the surroundings appeared in the Purple Mansion within his mind, which became gradually clearer from a blurred state, with detailed displays of the sky, the ground, and even underground.

However, without the amplification of equipment, Zi Liyuan’s current base attributes, his Soul Value, had just barely broken the significant mark of five thousand.

This was all thanks to him having read all the cultivation techniques in the Dragon Academy’s library, mastering them up to the highest level, except for the ones that conflicted with his own attributes.

Just thinking about how a prodigy who once roamed Blue Star could suddenly become a weakling upon entering the Sea of Realms, the tremendous disparity was anything but pleasant.

No wonder the death rate for newcomers in the Sea of Realms is so high.

Zi Liyuan is a lord of the Sea of Realms, starting with a Lord’s Mansion and enjoying three days of protection under the Sea of Realms rules, during which his territory cannot be breached.

For those who entered the Sea of Realms without a [Heart of the Lord], with sealed equipment, skills, and space, and without territorial protection, survival would rely merely on their base attributes, and one can imagine how difficult that would be.

Shaking his head, Zi Liyuan began to inspect the map that had formed in his mind.

A range of five thousand meters, every change in terrain was meticulously recorded.

The territory where Zi Liyuan was located was a circular area covering one hundred square meters, with the Lord’s Mansion at the very center.

To the east, about three thousand meters away, there was a small river teeming with fish and shrimp, though some beasts lurked within, such as crocodiles more than five meters long!

In the north and west, about a hundred meters away, there was a vast forest with increasingly dense and tall flora, home to a variety of animals and abundant food resources.

To the south, two hundred meters away, there was a huge stone mountain range, and within it, a hidden iron mine!

"Geez, it’s like the Goddess of Fortune became my sugar mama and handed me such a premium spot."

Before upgrading the Lord’s Mansion to a village, lords must find resources themselves to upgrade, which is the most difficult pioneering period.

The first lord to upgrade to a village will receive a reward from the Sea of Realms’ rules.

To upgrade the Lord’s Mansion to village level, it has to be raised to Level 10.

"With abundant resources near the territory, it’s time to get down to the real business."

Zi Liyuan stimulated the Spiritual Power within his body, began constructing a rune sequence, and then a summoning array materialized out of thin air in front of him.

Compared to summoning undead on Blue Star, which involved various light and shadow effects, summoning in the Sea of Realms was quite ordinary.

Forget about emerging Death Fog or anything of the sort; the whole summoning was just grey and black deathly lines constructing a summoning array, and then rows of skeletons appeared.

With one summoning, the Soul Value cap was reached, and more than five thousand skeletons appeared, nearly collapsing the thatched roof of the Lord’s Mansion.

"Huh, summoning skeletons up to the Soul Value limit actually doesn’t cause any mental fatigue or pressure on the soul."

On Blue Star, every time summoning reached the soul’s limit, there would be a sense of mental exhaustion and soul pressure, but in the Sea of Realms, none of these negative effects occurred.

However, when Zi Liyuan got a clear look at the skeletons in front of him, his face immediately darkened.

The skeletons, aside from being just bones, were completely bare, not carrying anything at all.

"Damn it! Where are the bone knives? The bone shields? The bone armors? Skeleton cannon fodder without weapons won’t even be able to beat the weakest goblin, right?"

What made Zi Liyuan even more speechless was that these skeletons had all reverted to their most primitive state!
