Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 791 - 753: Creating a God2
Recently, that Beast Tar has trained so Demon Beasts specifically to ambush in the chaotic currents of space. As soon as any Demon Cultivator triggers it, they swarm to take their life, trample and drive them away, causing no one to dare approach, to monopolize the place.
However, the growing stench of blood increasingly causes energy disruption. If no one stops the situation from worsening, this perfectly good place will be tainted by evil beastly nature."
As Jiang Yuan listened, he drank two more cups of Spirit Tea to replenish his health bar, growing increasingly respectful of Xuanyuan Yangguang.
Out of the Four Divine Beasts, three are missing, and the only one left is severely injured. One can imagine how difficult it is to gather the four symbols, not knowing how much ti would be delayed for this.
And if it’s too late, with the world shattering and collapsing, it would be easy to be affected and die with it.
Moreover, the world he wants to save has long been occupied by the Demon Race, clearly a group of people who wish for nothing but their death, living carefree in ignorance, while he, burdened with deep hatred, must find ways to save them.
Inwardly questioning himself, Jiang Yuan couldn’t claim to face such a choice, to save the current world without hesitation.
As for the Beast Tar Chu Huai’an, just like the Demon Monk who discovered the Seal Stone Tiger area years ago, equally greedy and destructive, ruining a perfectly good place.
However, since the other party can explore the Vermilion Bird Tower, his ability to endure fla temperatures is no less than mine wearing Fla Wings, so I must be cautious.
Clicking on the last dialog box, the Vermilion Bird stooped to watch him, like an elder watching a young child, patiently explaining: "The world only knows of the Vermilion Bird as a Divine Beast, without knowing that Divine Beasts are not eternally unchanging.
In fact, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Four Divine Beasts are more akin to divine positions.
I wasn’t born a Vermilion Bird, but a Biyu Bird. I was fortunate to receive the spirit of heaven and earth and the essence of innate energy after attaining enlightennt, gradually undergoing change and shedding mortal flesh, gaining divinity and gathering Divine Format, relying on strength to beco the guardian spirit of this world, replacing the previous Vermilion Bird whose Divine Power had dissipated. Occupying the southern fiery position, capable of dispersing evil and bringing auspicious ons.
Now I am deceased, only a remnant soul remains, a new spirit of heaven and earth should have co to take my place.
However, with the Heavenly Dao incomplete and the Divine-Demon war having had a vast impact, and this world already polluted after my inability to support it, it seems a new Vermilion Bird won’t be born.
Fated one, are you willing to take a different path with to recreate the Vermilion Bird and attempt to save the world?"
[Special Mission: Vermilion Bird]
[Mission 1: Enter the Vermilion Bird Tower, the conversation with the Vermilion Bird is complete. Reward: Divinity 1 has been issued]
[Divinity: Can be used after a Demon Beast has cultivated to a certain extent and undergone rebirth; gaining sufficient divinity can condense a Divine Format. Note: This divinity is specific to the four symbols and cannot be used by human cultivators]
[Mission 2: Complete all tasks issued by the Vermilion Bird within the specified ti. (Please note: All tasks carry certain risks, please consider carefully before choosing to accept. This series of tasks is one-ti only, and failure to complete within ti or abandonnt will lead to failure. After failure, the special mission cannot be triggered again.) Reward: Divinity 2]
[1. I am willing to attempt recreating the Vermilion Bird]
[2. This matter is too difficult, please seek another fated one]
Jiang Yuan: ...
The missions have been issued, how could I possibly choose not to accept?
In the worst-case scenario, if this opportunity is missed, it won’t present itself again. With the Vermilion Bird’s remnant soul dispersing, even the last bit of protection is lost, and the entire Wilderness World would be completely dood; what would be left for to play with?
Choosing to accept the mission, the Vermilion Bird didn’t even speak, but directly popped up a tid side mission beneath Mission 2.
[To recreate the Vermilion Bird, you need to take its remnant soul away from the Vermilion Bird Tower. Over the years, many red hot crystals have grown in the sands near the Vermilion Bird Tower; please collect 15 pieces within the specified ti and bring them to the Vermilion Bird (0/15) Countdown: 14:59:59]
"Turning such a serious matter into a pure online ga segnt, you’ve certainly got a knack!" Pushed by the large countdown tir, he turned and ran out while still ntally complaining about the system.
Could it be that they think by disguising world-saving as a ga, it would alleviate the host’s psychological pressure?
However... it actually seems sowhat effective.
After all, looking at the familiar ga interface in sight, I can still fool myself into thinking it’s just a map-quest; just complete it step by step and won’t be so nervous,
more suitable for soone like who doesn’t have strong psychological quality.
"Creak~"
Yuan Man was ditating cross-legged when she suddenly sensed the stone door opening.
Imdiately rising, she hadn’t even had ti to ask when she saw the serious expression of the other person speaking: "City Lord Yuan, please lend a hand; use the previous technique of turning over the yellow sand to search for red hot crystals nearby!"
Red hot crystals? What are those?
"Are you sure they are nearby?" Without asking much, she imdiately used magic to manipulate countless withered vines to churn in the yellow sand.
Jiang Yuan wasn’t idle either, using Sword Flight and the Earth Mirror Book passive skills to carefully search.
"Mr. Jiang, is it this thing?" Yuan Man quickly sensed the withered vines touching a scorching hot object hidden in the yellow sand, then flipped her palm to "excavate" the sand around that cluster.
[Red Hot Crystals: Mission-specific, can be mined using a Golden Crystal Mining Pickaxe]
Sure enough, crystalline stones like rubies exuded a burning aura, topped with an extrely concise description.
"Yes! That’s it! I urgently need a dozen or more, please City Lord Yuan help. There’s not enough ti now, after the matter I’ll explain in detail!" He took out the Mining Pickaxe and smashed it with a constant rhythm.
Thanks to the system’s built-in basic skills never being left behind, having mined enough Golden Crystal Ore in the World Tree Mine Cave and forged it into ingots just a while ago to upgrade the Mining Pickaxe, otherwise, I would only be able to stare at the "mission-specific" with no tools to mine!
Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared; the richness of this statent is increasing.
With Yuan Man’s assistance and the Earth Mirror Book skills, it didn’t take Jiang Yuan long to find and mine fifteen clusters of red hot crystals before running back to submit the task.
"Very good, these are the beautiful crystals." Clicking to submit the task, the crystals in the storage bag vanished; with a flap of the Vermilion Bird’s wings, a golden-red teleportation array appeared on the ground, "I still need fifteen stones from Amber Lake near the Sand Castle. The temperature of Amber Lake is very high; you need to be careful."
[Near the Sand Castle where Xuanyuan Yangguang once resided, there is an Amber Lake. As one of the array hubs, Amber Lake absorbs the essence of fire year-round, condensing Golden Amber Stones at the bottom of the lake; please collect 15 pieces within the specified ti and bring them to the Vermilion Bird (0/15) Countdown: 30:59:59]
[Dual Teleportation Array: Built by Xuanyuan Yangguang inside the Vermilion Bird Tower, it can communicate with the Sand Castle]
There’s no ti to lose, Jiang Yuan stood on the teleportation array and imdiately popped up the only option — [Sand Castle]
The next second the light dimd before his eyes, faint sounds of running water could be heard, and he recalled the rumors Mr. Jiang recounted, where the fortunate Mist Cloud Hunter was supposedly t by the Beast Tar Chu Huai’an, who for unknown reasons, suddenly developed a benevolent heart, allowing him to teleport away from this place.
Sure enough, upon clicking to use the teleportation array, two options popped up, one to return to the Vermilion Bird Tower, the other to proceed to Cloud Mist City.
"Looks like when all the tasks are done, I can only teleport to Cloud Mist City first before returning to the courtyard," he thought, as he hurriedly left the underground teleportation array.
[Sand Castle: The place where Xuanyuan Yangguang temporarily resided while building the Vermilion Bird Tower, later using road signs and an oasis as guidance, making it a landmark building to guide lost cultivators out.
Situated at the northernmost end, the Sand Castle corresponds with the southernmost Vermilion Bird Tower, with assistance from the arrays between the oasis, making the Vermilion Bird Tower invisible, to avoid misdirecting any cultivators unless necessary.
Hundreds of years ago, the Beast Tar Chu Huai’an destroyed the oasis, the array collapsed, the Sand Castle crumbled, and the Vermilion Bird Tower was left unprotected by any array]
Looking back, the forrly magnificently constructed Sand Castle now remained only as a vague silhouette, with nothing inside but sand and stones along the way. Even if Xuanyuan Yangguang had left sothing, it would likely have been scavenged by Chu Huai’an.
The large countdown was pushing him onward, Jiang Yuan didn’t have ti to lant and flicked his finger to summon three swords to fly out.
"Sir, any instructions?"
The Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword Spirits greeted in unison, the Dragon Roar Sword, without a Sword Spirit, quietly awaited its master’s next direction.
"We will split into three groups, to search for a blue-colored Amber Lake around this vast desert, centering on this Sand Castle. There should be many small golden stones in it, if any are found, notify imdiately!" He vaguely recalled Mr. Jiang ntioning that the fortunate one picked a small pebble from the lake and then flew for a long ti before reaching the Sand Castle.
The second side mission grants half an hour, must quickly find it without delay!
