Chapter 590: Chapter 405: Escorting a Toad-like Creature._2
“`
Eating just the basic sustenance allowance was far from enough to cover the consumption required for cultivation.
To make rapid progress, to widen the gap with other ancient gods from the same period, the only way was to diligently earn contribution points in the task hall.
“Do you have any missions going to the Dark Realm?”
“The Dark Realm? Please wait….”
Upon hearing the words ‘Dark Realm.’
The ancient god behind the counter couldn’t help but look somewhat astonished.
Nonetheless.
His duty was to register and look up missions, so since the other party had asked, he was obliged to carry out his responsibility.
Subsequently.
This ancient god used his identity token to tap and draw on a miniature array on the counter, as if he were operating a search for something.
“There are two Dark Realm missions available, please present your identity token to check!” the ancient god behind the counter said.
“Here is my identity token!”
Xuanqing handed over his identity token.
Moments later.
Two mission details appeared on it.
[First Order Escort Mission: Half-step Chaos True Monarchs eligible! (200 points)]
[Second Order Escort Mission: Mid-stage True Monarchs of Chaos eligible! (500 points)]
It seemed like two missions.
But for Xuanqing, only the ‘First Order Escort Mission’ was suitable; his cultivation was just at the level of a Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
As for the second mission, he ignored it outright, for he wasn’t even a True Monarch of Chaos yet and certainly not qualified to accept a mission meant for those in the middle stage.
“I accept the First Order Escort Mission!”
Xuanqing handed his identity token back to the ancient god behind the counter.
Only those in the task hall had the authority to inquire about and assign missions.
“Okay.”
The ancient god behind the counter nodded and then added a reminder,
“The mission has been issued. In three days, go to the Enforcement Hall to collect your escort target and deliver it to the destination. Remember to trigger the seal and report it on your identity token.”
“Additionally, a word of advice: the aura in the Dark Realm is murky, avoid staying too long.”
This ancient god had seen that Xuanqing’s identity token did not have any mission records and that the Qi on the mountain was merely of a Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
It is worth mentioning that.
The identity tokens of the ancient god clan could, in most cases, be concealed at will.
Xuanqing was on this trip to take advantage of the convenience the mission provided to leave the Ancient Clan’s dwelling and return to the Dark Realm to refine a perpetual star, naturally not intending to reveal his identity.
Therefore, this ancient god was not aware of Xuanqing’s status as the Master of Pangu Peak.
“Mm, thank you for the information.”
Xuanqing thanked him with a bow of his fist.
…..
Three days later.
Enforcement Hall.
Xuanqing received a creature resembling a toad from the hands of another ancient god.
According to the ancient god of the Enforcement Hall, this toad-like creature had ruthlessly killed a juvenile member of their ancient god clan.
It was captured alive by the people of the ancient god clan. Instead of just killing it, they decided to exile it to the Dark Realm to let it slowly perish under the influence of the murky Qi, as a deterrent punishment.
In the Endless Chaos World, such a method was akin to being ‘buried alive’ in the Mortal Dust realm of the Water Blue Star, possessing significant deterrence.
“Young clansman, once you reach your destination, make sure to check that the seal is successfully activated,” the member of the Enforcement Hall urged earnestly.
“Yes!”
Xuanqing nodded in agreement.
This moment.
The toad-like creature was locked in a black box, its expression dull and spiritless, emanating an air of despair.
It’s worth noting that there was a collar around its neck, which astonishingly looked exactly like the one on Ancestor Chi Ying.
Afterwards.
Carrying the black box with the toad-like creature.
Xuanqing hurried to the teleportation platform of the Ancient Main Peak.
To reach the Dark Realm, one either had to use the teleportation platform or find a naturally formed teleportation array in the wilderness, which also had a certain chance of leading to the Dark Realm.
However, these naturally formed arrays in the wild were very short-lived, and their locations constantly changed, not to mention the significant dangers involved.
This was also why he wanted to utilize the tasks of the ancient god clan, so his game character could return to the Dark Realm.
….
Upon arriving at the teleportation platform.
Xuanqing, holding the black box, stood in the center of the platform.
As the guards activated the formation, a bright light surged, and Xuanqing’s body vanished into the Endless Chaos.
….
Elsewhere.
“`
Ancient Main Peak’s Ancient Hall.
Ancestor Huang’s expression turned towards the direction of the teleportation platform.
After a brief contemplation,
he waved his right hand, summoning a silhouette from the air, and commanded, “Huang Yi, go and protect that child’s path. Only lend a hand if his life is in danger.”
“Yes!”
The shadow clasped his fists and nodded slightly in agreement.
The next moment,
his figure turned into stardust and vanished inside the Ancient Main Peak’s hall to reappear on the teleportation platform.
Whoosh~
The teleportation platform once again erupted with light.
Facing this scene,
the guardians acted as if they saw nothing out of the ordinary, still standing straight and guarding the teleportation platform.
….
….
Dark Realm.
Universe Space.
Swish~
With a ripple in space, a figure holding a Duster in his right hand and a black box in his left, wearing a robe, slowly appeared.
For the first time,
Xuanqing was for the first time, appearing in the Universe Space of the Real World as his Game character.
“After merging with the Origin, although my physical body can’t move, it’s much safer, and there’s no need to worry about being attacked by others when logging into the Game.”
“Moreover, my Game character can still achieve 100% energy recycling in the Dark Universe, meaning a lossless Resurrecting on the Spot.”
Xuanqing looked towards the deep dark space, feeling somewhat emotional.
As the saying goes, good fortune may lie within bad luck, and misfortune may be where good luck hides; how can one tell if it’s a blessing or a curse until the very end?
“First, let’s complete the mission,” Xuanqing touched the black box in his hand, activated the Rule of Law, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
…
Right after Xuanqing disappeared,
Hum~
Space rippled once again.
A black shadow appeared in the starry sky.
“What a turbid world.”
Huang Yi frowned, feeling his Physical Body and God Soul slowly eroded by the turbid atmosphere of the Dark Realm.
“Water Realm!”
Swish~
Boundless Water spread out from Huang Yi as the center, enveloping the entire starry sky, its size as vast as a Perpetual Star.
Even more bizarre was,
that this colossal water world did not produce any Gravitation, as if the fundamental rules of the Dark Universe had no effect on this massive orb of water.
After opening the Water Realm,
the shadow’s brows relaxed.
He glanced in the direction where Xuanqing had disappeared, and then leisurely followed behind.
Ancestor Huang had Commanded that unless that child faced a Crisis, he only needed to silently follow.
…
Xuanqing, on the other hand,
was able to quickly find a suitable place for sealing with his ability to manipulate Space rules.
This was an inconspicuous Perpetual Star, slightly older than usual, over eight billion years old, having lived the greater part of its life.
Step~
Entering the core of the Perpetual Star,
Xuanqing opened the black box, releasing the toad-like Creature within.
“Hek…”
The toad-like Creature, just released, was enveloped by the turbid cosmic energy, instantly letting out a scream.
For a Creature from the Endless Chaos, the Universe Space of the Dark Realm was terrifying since, aside from cosmic radiation’s turbidity, it lacked even the most rudimentary Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
After the screams, it either grew tired or slightly adapted to its new surroundings,
the toad-like Creature glared resentfully at Xuanqing.
“Hehe!”
Seeing this,
Xuanqing smiled faintly,
He had learned from the Enforcement Hall that this toad-like being, through its ignorance, dared to try to imprison a juvenile Ancient Archon to seize the Ancient Archon’s bloodline.
When facing such matters, the Ancient God Clan always responded with the most ruthless measures, imprisoning it in the Dark Realm, to let the turbid energy of the Dark Realm slowly erode and annihilate it.
This… to a Creature of the Endless Chaos, was a punishment more terrifying than death itself.
