History lesson I

Lex raised an eyebrow, but didn't immediately respond. There was a lot to take in here, not to mention the possibility of establishing good relations with a potential Dao Lord. Barring that, having the favor of a few peak Celestial Immortals wasn't bad either.

But the randomness and abruptness of this quest had Lex feeling like a particular video game character from the fifth entry in an rpg series so successful the game studio decided that they didn't like money anymore and gave up the idea of ever making a sixth one.

Lex took a deep breath - in his mind that is - to cool down. For some odd reason, he suddenly got worked up thinking he would never play Older Scrolls VI now that the Earth had basically been invaded and overrun by AI and religious fanatics. Though, to be fair, for a small period of time, even normal Earth could have accurately been described as overrun by AI and religious fanatics.
