Chapter 367 - 210 New Task_2
“Defying the Heavens? That sounds great. Since Big Brother puts it that way, I have to complete this mission no matter what.” Li Hao was moved, without any doubt in Su Nan’s words.
“By the way, Big Brother, Lang Thirteen and Zhang Yang have already had a breakthrough, why haven’t you?” Li Hao asked again.
Su Nan replied, “Nothing really, I just don’t want to break through yet.”
Not wanting to break through yet?
On the other side, taken aback by Su Nan’s response, Li Hao was astonished.
If such words were spoken by others, he would have brushed it off.
But when it came from Su Nan, he believed wholeheartedly.
Time passed.
Before they knew it, it was eleven o’clock at night.
Tonight was bound to be another sleepless night.
Countless people were waiting, waiting for the game to refresh.
They wanted to know whether the game would begin its third public test as Xuan-level players emerged.
Su Nan was waiting too.
“In my previous Death’s Foresight, I would be caught by the White Water
Demon King a day later. Now that I’m in the Divine Ruins, the White Water
Demon King shouldn’t be able to catch me, right?”
Finally, it was midnight.
The game refreshed, and Su Nan logged into the game.
To the disappointment of many players, no game notice appeared.
Apparently, the breakthroughs of Su Nan’s two characters did not trigger the third public test of the game.
“Why is there no announcement?”
“I got my hopes up for nothing, I thought there’dbe another public test!” “That’s normal, it’s only been over ten days since the last test. Even if there’s going to be a test, it should be after the completion of this Human Crisis Task.” In the regional chat, many players were complaining.
“Didn’t meet the conditions?” Su Nan was somewhat surprised too.
But he didn’t really mind.
Whether the game tests publicly or not doesn’t really affect him much now. The number of players now can satisfy Lang Thirteen’s mission requirements.
What limits him isn’t the number of players, but the high-end players among them.
Of course, if the public testing brings new abilities, he hopes for another public test.
Before attempting to foresee escaping the Earth God Temple, he first looked at his Daily Tasks.
Su Nan’s tasks came into sight.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt down a Mortal-level Soul-eating Monster]
Task Difficulty: One-star
Task Reward: 5 demon power points
[Daily Task 2: Escape from Earth God Temple]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 30 Demon Points
[Daily Task Three: Find Zhou Lingyin]
Task Difficulty: four-star
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power Points
The task to escape the Earth God Temple appeared.
As for this task, Su Nan wasn’t surprised at all.
On the other hand, the third task made his eyes light up.
“Find Zhou Lingyin? Indeed, Zhou Lingyin is really in these Divine Ruins!” Even though he already speculated, when this task appeared, Su Nan still felt a sense of relief.
If Zhou Lingyin wasn’t here, then he would have wasted his time for nothing. To escape from the White Water Demon King, it would be difficult.
The Life Wheel Scripture operated and he looked at Zhang Yang’s tasks. Because Zhang Yang had broken through to theXuan Rank, today’s task levels had collectively dropped by one Star Level.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt down a Spirit-level Soul-eating Monster]
Task Difficulty: One-star
Task Reward: 15 Demon Points
[Daily Task 2: Explore an arbitrary temple]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power Points
[Daily Task Three: Explore the Divine Ruins]
Task Difficulty: Four-star
Task Reward: 60 demon power points
“Explore a temple?”
“Explore the Divine Ruins!”
Looking at the two tasks, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel his heart race.
The temples and ancient temples were extremely dangerous areas within the Divine Ruins. Now, he had just encountered the first ancient temple and had been trapped, unable to leave, let alone explore.
Now, a task requiring him to explore temples appeared, wasn’t this sending him to his death?
And the last task to explore the Divine Ruins was even more absurd.
A Four-star Task!
This is not a four-star task at the Spirit Level, but a four-star task at the Xuan Level.
He could be certain that to complete this task, he would have to at least enter the deepest parts of the Divine Ruins.
“Well, it seems like neither of these two tasks is going to be possible.”
Su Nan shook his head.
He switched roles again and looked at Lang Thirteen’s tasks.
Clearly because there were no other players in his location, there were unusually no tasks to hunt players in Lang Thirteen’s tasks today.
[Daily Task 1: Explore any ancient temple]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power Points
[Daily Task 2: Explore any two ancient temples]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power Points
[Daily Task Three: Escape from the Divine Ruins]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power Points
“Zhang Yang has been assigned a task to explore a temple; Lang Thirteen has been given a task to explore ancient temples, and two of them at that!”
“This isn’t just making me do tasks; it’s clearly pushing me down the path to death!”
Su Nan gave a wry smile but was powerless to do anything.
After looking at the tasks of all three roles, he looked at Foreknowledge again. The number of Foreknowledge attempts refreshed and returned to 63.
With so many foreknowledge attempts, as long as he didn’t use Death’s
Foresight, he was sure to have enough.
“Begin Foreknowledge!”
This time, he intended to use his Racial Talent in his foresight.
[Upon seeing the Earth God Temple, you immediately display your Racial Talent “Starlight Netherworld Body”, following which you enhance your Divine Soul with all the increased Power of Primordial Qi and Essence Power.]
[The power of your Divine Soul increases several folds, surpassing a Xuan-level demon who excels in harnessing the power of the Divine Soul, reaching the equivalent of an early-stage King-level demon.]
[Without hesitating for a second, you immediately rush with all your speed towards the distant part of the Earth God Temple, wishing to leave the area of the Earth God Temple.]
[One minute later, you cross the Earth God Temple and reach a place several kilometers away from the Temple, free from its attraction.]
“Did I succeed?” Su Nan didn’t rejoice.
If he hadn’t used Across the Heavens Shift before, seeing that he had left the Earth God Temple in his foresight, he would definitely consider it a success.
But with his previous two foresights, he wouldn’t think it would be that simple. [After leaving the Earth God Temple, your Racial Talent “Starlight Netherworld Body’s” effects disappear, and you continue to control your avatar to clear the path ahead.]
[Two minutes later, through your avatar, you suddenly see an ancient, dilapidated temple appear a hundred meters ahead of you. The appearance of the temple is exactly the same as the Earth God Temple you encountered just now!]
[You try to bypass the Earth God Temple, but due to the depletion of your Divine Soul power, the influence of the Earth God Temple on you exacerbates. The moment your avatar sees the Earth God Temple, your body is involuntarily drawn towards it.]
[Three minutes later, you enter the Earth God Temple and bow before the Land God Statue.]
[You are dead.]
[Your Divine Soul is consumed by an unknown being, and you become a walking corpse.]
Death again!
Su Nan’s heart sank, but this foresight wasn’t entirely without gains.
“The increase in Divine Soul power is useful. It can indeed get rid of the power of the Earth Temple.”
“But the increase in Divine Soul power brought about by the Racial Talent is not lasting. Once the effect disappears, I will still be entangled with the ancient temple, even more relentlessly than before!”
Su Nan made an effort to calm himself down and ponder a solution.
Right now, he wasn’t thinking about exploring the mysteries of the Earth God Temple anymore; he only wanted to figure out how to escape from the Temple. Undoubtedly, the enhancement of Divine Soul power indeed played a significant role in resisting the power of the ancient temple.
The problem was, how could he maintain the strength of his Divine Soul for an extended duration?
“The best method now should be to increase Divine Soul power.”
“What methods can quickly enhance Divine Soul power?”
Su Nan pondered.
Suddenly, he remembered the reward he obtained from completing the first part of the “Mystery of the Divine Dao” task: Method for Refining the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.
The Method for Refining the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact not only served to refine the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, but also to enhance Divine Soul power, and at a rapid rate.
As long as he could kill the Offering God Demon inside the incense burner once, he would be able to obtain a portion of the Divine Soul power of the Offering God Demon.
With the incense burner in hand, Su Nan pondered deeply.
The Offering God Demon inside the incense burner was a King-level being. If he could kill it once, the acquired Divine Soul power would undoubtedly be immense!
Only, there was one problem with this method.
With his current Divine Soul power, even with the effect of the Starlight Netherworld Body and channeling all his Primordial Qi and Essence into his Divine Soul, he could surpass Xuan Level and match a King-level Great Demon.
But despite this, he’d still have difficulties tackling a King-level Great Demon, as his capability was not permanent.
“I might not be able to handle it alone, but that doesn’t mean that two of us can’t handle it. If I can get the Great Princess to help, maybe there’s a possibility of success!”
Su Nan thought of the Great Princess and his eyes brightened.
