Tasks are of two types.
One is the active task, which is triggered when Jiang Liu makes up his mind to do something.
Once triggered, it is by default in an accepted state, and there is no penalty for failure.
The other is the passive task, triggered when someone else requests that Jiang Liu do something. He can choose to accept or reject it, but if he accepts and then fails, there is a penalty.
But for this reason, the experience points for passive tasks are relatively more generous for Jiang Liu.
This time, Jiang Liu realized that Tathagata seemed to be planning to use Gaoyang for his own ends. So, in his urgency, he took advantage of the absence of Bodhisattva Guanyin to rescue Gaoyang while no one was watching over her, lest she remain in the Buddhist Sect as a hostage to Tathagata.
Therefore, he triggered this active task.
However, the emergence of this active task made Jiang Liu gasp in shock.
What!? A Divine Level Quest!?
