Chapter 612: Legendary Mission! Save the Ancient People!
Chapter 612: Legendary Mission! Save the Ancient People!
"Mission! Save the Ancient People!"
The air suddenly froze.
At least two cold and ruthless killing intents spread directly.
He Yiming was speechless. What was Mu Xueying thinking? Wasn't she just attracting trouble for herself?
Especially Chima, who stared fixedly at Mu Xueying's fair jade arm that was wrapped around He Yiming's arm. He was practically fuming.
After all, in name, Chima was supposed to be Mu Xueying's fiancé.
This was practically hitting his own face right in front of him!
However, just at this moment, Sword Proud, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Mu Xueying, you once said that within a month, I will die! The only chance I have to change my fate is to come to this Míng Secret Realm, right?" Sword Proud said indifferently.
"Yes!" Mu Xueying answered straightforwardly.
"I seem to be somewhat believing your words, but I still don't understand how I can change my fate and survive in this even more desperate secret realm?" Sword Proud continued to ask, gazing at Mu Xueying.
"That moment will eventually come. Whether you choose to live or die depends on your own decision!" Mu Xueying answered with a smile.
"..." Sword Proud fell silent, then nodded in understanding.
"He Yiming, I'll remember you!" Chima clenched his fist, but in the end, he slowly loosened it and then turned to leave.
"Since that's the case, take care, Mu Xueying! I hope this Brother He Yiming can protect you!" Sixth Prince smiled slightly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, then turned to leave as well.
Sword Proud bowed to Mu Xueying and silently left.
The three figures quickly vanished into the air, starting to search for their own opportunities.
"I..." He Yiming was about to say something.
Suddenly, the system, which had been silent for a long time, sent out a notification!
"Ding!"
"Host detected entry into the ancient era! Friendly reminder: The system has closed all other functions, running at full power to maintain the soul links of ten thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight summoned players! If summoned players die, they will not be able to reenter the ancient era!"
"Ding!"
"Release the sect's legendary mission! Save the ancient people!"
...
"Objective 1: Save ten thousand ancient people and ensure their survival!"
"Objective 2: Establish a legendary haven sufficient to protect the ancient people!"
"Objective 3: Help the ancient people survive the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Time limit: Three months!"
[Friendly reminder, this mission is extremely difficult, and there is a danger of falling when the host completes it!]
As the system released the mission, He Yiming was utterly dumbfounded.
"???"
"Legendary mission?" He Yiming was astonished. This legendary mission was the first time he had encountered it. It was definitely a task even more challenging than an epic one!
However, immediately, He Yiming felt like he had a brain full of question marks.
According to Sixth Prince's explanation, wasn't this a realm of memories? Why would the system issue such a task?
In a realm of memories, everything that happened was fixed, events that had long occurred. Even if he changed things, what use would it be?
Unless...
"Could it be that this place... isn't a realm of memories? Instead, it's... the true ancient era? Have I crossed over again?" He Yiming's heart trembled. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible!
Think about it, if it was just a realm of memories, would the system specifically issue this task? And why did it directly shut down all other functions, maintaining the soul links of players with all its power?
But He Yiming quickly calmed down.
The difficulty of a legendary mission was so high that the system had specially warned him of the danger of falling! Considering how difficult those epic missions were in the past, it was practically a scam.
And this legendary mission's difficulty was bound to be even more terrifying!
Moreover, the most crucial point was that players couldn't resurrect!
Die once, and one player was lost!
Thus, he had to ensure the survival rate of the players. Stability was key!
No recklessness!
Absolutely no recklessness!
However, the most pressing matter was to understand what the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao were.
He Yiming had a feeling that Mu Xueying probably knew.
"Mu Xueying, do you know about the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao?" He Yiming turned around and looked at Mu Xueying.
"The Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao?" Mu Xueying seemed somewhat surprised. She was surprised that He Yiming actually knew about this.
"Well, I do!"
"Then, can you tell me?"
"Kiss me, and I'll tell you!"
"???"
...
He Yiming was a question mark personified.
This...
What kind of logic was this from Mu Xueying?
He had never encountered such a demand in his life!
Normally, shouldn't it be the girl asking the male protagonist, and the male protagonist being a rogue saying that kind of thing?
Why was it reversed now?
*Cough cough cough,* "I have some low-grade Heaven-Mending Pills here..."
"I'm not interested in those useless things!"
"???"
...
He Yiming was baffled.
A low-grade Heaven-Mending Pill wasn't even worth a kiss? What kind of logic and values were these?
He Yiming felt conflicted and even a bit frustrated.
This was clearly a situation where he was getting a big advantage, so why did he feel so awkward?
After thinking for a while, He Yiming secretly activated the Qing Emperor's Eternal Body, focused his consciousness, and treated the situation as if he were facing a formidable enemy!
Perhaps, Mu Xueying was planning to ambush him?
To be prepared just in case.
Once he felt ready, He Yiming finally spoke.
"Alright, I agree! A simple kiss is fine?"
"No! I want to choose the location myself!"
"???"
"What's wrong? Are you scared now? You're a grown man, and you're afraid of a little girl like me?"
*...*
He Yiming was taken aback.
This... alright then, come on!
...
Prepared, He Yiming watched as Mu Xueying slowly approached with a smile, then wrapped her fair jade arm around his neck, and at the next moment...
After half a joss stick's worth of time, Mu Xueying slowly pulled away.
"..." He Yiming touched his lips, still feeling their warmth.
She really... only wanted a kiss?
He Yiming was still full of question marks.
However, the players were in an uproar!
"Damn, Brother Yiming is showing affection right in front of me!"
"Damn, Brother Yiming shamelessly flaunting his love! South Palace's wife, I'm sorry, I let down your hopes. I didn't manage to keep an eye on Brother Yiming the scumbag!"
"Damn, Brother Yiming, let go of that girl. It's my turn!"
"Being single for 23 years, I just wanted to experience the legendary secret realm's major instance
, and this is what I get, a 7-minute and 30-second lovey-dovey scene? Where's the game designer? My Golden Saint Cloth is already itching for action!"
...
"Brother Yiming, this scumbag, already had Nan Gong's wife, then he got Huan Ling, and now he's even fooling around with a third girl!"
"Damn it, woman, let go of Brother Yiming, it's my turn!"
...
The players were in an uproar, each one seething with anger.
He Yiming naturally skillfully ignored these players, then asked directly.
"Now, can you tell me what the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao are?" He Yiming got straight to the point.
After sacrificing so much, he must know what the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao were!
Otherwise, this legendary mission would absolutely be impossible to complete!
"In the ancient era! Before the rise of humanity, at that time, humanity was like ants on the ground, struggling with all its might just to survive!"
"In the ancient era, the entire world was one entity! So you can see true dragons, you can see Xuanwu, you can see the immense power of the Great Dao beneath the vast earth!"
"In this era, humanity was merely a group of insignificant ants, barely clinging to life!"
"However..."
"The Heavenly Dao in this era was ruthless and treated all beings with cruelty!"
"Every cycle, the Heavenly Dao would descend with the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao, erasing those life forms that weren't qualified to survive!"
"The humanity of this era lacked the ability to withstand these Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao!"
...
Mu Xueying smiled faintly, her gaze fixed on He Yiming.
"..." He Yiming was astonished.
If humanity lacked the ability to withstand the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao, then how could they pass down and multiply to eventually become the Three Thousand Worlds he had crossed to?
This was simply contradictory!
"Then you haven't told me what the Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao are!" He Yiming asked directly.
"The Five Calamities of the Heavenly Dao in the ancient era are considered an absolute catastrophe that humanity cannot possibly overcome!" Mu Xueying said resolutely. What she said next shocked He Yiming.
