[Ding! Congratulations Host, you have triggered an Epic-tier quest, Rise of the Phoenix.]
[Quest Requirement: Investigate and resolve the crisis that Sulfur Mountain City is facing. Before Adam dies, groom Anne .Layde to become an independent leader.]
[Quest Reward: Epic-tier discount coupon (Buy any item below Epic-tier from the system shop at half price), the right to start the main storyline quest.]
"At least … Before you leave your hometown, leave your home to a reliable person. You probably didn't expect to see a wasteland when you return. "
[Quest Failure Penalty: Would it be better to turn you into a skull with a mushroom growing on it? Or a mushroom with a skull growing on it? Not good at all? Then it should be a skull with a mushroom growing on it.]
Back then, when I first received this quest, I didn't expect so many things to happen.
At this moment, with this mission as the starting point, the situation in the underground world has already undergone a drastic change. If not for this messy mission, I probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to mess around in the Underground Alliance. In the end, no matter if the Alliance meets up as scheduled or if they simply listen to Shou's call to attack Sulfur Mountain City, many things would be very different from the past.
"Time to submit the quest. Hey, System, stop playing dead."
【The conditions for completing the Epic-tier quest are: 1. Sulfur Mountain City's crisis is resolved; 2. Adam isn't dead and he won't commit suicide within expectations; 3. Anne .Layde to become a leader-class Hero. I actually completed all of them! Congratulations, you actually saw through all the traps and completed all the hidden quests. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the rewards this time.】
This slightly cold notification was actually reminding me of the fact that I was scammed. The third quest objective was to groom Anne to become a qualified City Lord. This was within my expectations but the first two, I really didn't think of them.
As for the investigation of the crisis, I thought that it was to deal with the traitors and the invading army. Who knew that this darned System would actually want me to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes and eradicate the crisis. As for the seemingly time limit 'before Adam dies', it actually wanted me to change my target?
But, I guess I made a mistake. I actually managed to complete all of them by accident. Although the System has always been a scam, the amount of effort and reward is still trustworthy. I am starting to look forward to its rewards this time.
[Main storyline activated. Detected that the Host has turned into a soul form and is not inclined to any side. The System has been upgraded to its complete form — Fate System. From now on, Evil Points and Justice Points will be converted into Fate Points. Host will be able to change the future and obtain power from reversing the despair of fate.]
Fate System? Obtain power from changing fate? Isn't this my long-cherished wish? Looks like the speculation that this System is a part of my soul might really be true.
[From now on, Daily Quests will be randomly chosen between Justice and Evil Quests. Calculating the Fate Points awarded for Epic Quests.]
【Mission Objective 1: Find out the mastermind behind the scenes and eradicate the threat to Sulfur Mountain City. Currently, the mastermind Shou is dead and Molly has lost her identity as the Dragon Empress and the Underground Autarch, so she is unable to pose any threat to Sulfur Mountain City. The seal of the Fire Elemental God has been broken and the Demons and Chaos Abyss have lost interest in Sulfur Mountain City. Sulfur Mountain City has become the origin of the Power of Law and the True Gods. Countless Law cultivators will come here to learn and defend, making it much safer. Based on the overall analysis, mission objective 1 was completed perfectly. Reward: 5000 Fate Points]
Although the reward was tempting, I was instead attracted by the important information that was revealed.
"The seal on the Fire Elemental God has been broken? Who broke it? Although we promised to break the seal so that the Chaos Faction will completely give up, breaking the seal so casually is a huge problem. It will take at least a dozen years to weaken it. Furthermore, I don't see any Fire Elemental Creatures running around. Is it really broken? "
I questioned, but I didn't receive an answer. That System was just calculating my next mission objective mechanically.
【Mission Objective 2 (Hidden): Reverse the fate of Adam's certain death. Using the Titan Heart to replace the Phoenix Heart, the death of his physical body has been successfully avoided. At this moment, Adam is busy dispelling the rumors and preparing for his wedding. The thought of seeking death has already disappeared. Mission Objective 2 has been completed excellently. Reward: 3000 Fate Points】
Looks like the System is really used to scamming me. Saving Adam from death really is a hidden mission.
【Mission Objective 3 (Main Storyline): Groom Anne to become a leader. At the very least, she will become a qualified City Lord. The System will harvest the Fate Points generated from the Main Storyline Mission and make the final evaluation.】
Hearing those words, I feel that I have been scammed again. The system requires me to be a leader from the very start. If I only understand it as a City Lord, I'm afraid that the reward will only be the most basic one. And the so-called Fate Points that I get probably depends on how much I do in the quest. If I only stay in Sulfur Mountain City and let Annie take over, I probably won't get anything either.
【Hidden Mission: Empress Victoria's secret completed. Under your influence, Victoria has once again stepped onto the path of the Dark Elf Empress. She might have started slowly and is unable to become the highest ruler of the Dark Elf society, but at the very least, she will become one of the strongest leaders of the Dark Elves. Her good relationship with Sulfur Mountain City will definitely benefit Anne Layde greatly. Reward: 3000 Fate Points】
In Morsblight City, the newly appointed matriarch of the Syfan family, Victoria, was lecturing the audience. After gaining control of the Syfan family's power, she directly carried out a bloody purge against the restless 2nd family. At this moment, she, who had just obtained the final victory, had already made the matriarchs of the other families in Morsblight City submit to 'her'. At this moment, her next target is the remaining forces of Kajah.
【Hidden Mission: Rise of the Centaurs completed. Under your influence, the Beastman Emperor Shou Nuya's forces have fallen apart. Minial's Centaurs took the opportunity to rise and under the restraint of various parties, his niece Anne Layde has been promoted to the position of Beastman Emperor, becoming the new Underground Autarch. Reward: 5000 Fate Points.】 In the tent on the plains, old Minial can only helplessly look at the newly appointed Beastman Emperor rolling around on the ground.
In the tent on the plains, old Minial could only look helplessly at the newly appointed Beastman Sovereign rolling around on the ground, "I don't want to go to the meeting, those old men are so scary", "I want to go to Sulfur Mountain City to play with Big Sister Annie and buy new clothes", "Ah, when will my package arrive? I already said that I don't want to live in the countryside, it is so inconvenient. "
Old Minial, who has just taken over Vance City, doesn't have the disposition of a hero who suppressed the other heroes to obtain the position of Beastman Emperor a month ago. At this moment, in order to protect the dignity of the new Beastman Emperor, he requests the guards to not let anyone in while looking at his granddaughter acting shamelessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, the wrinkled face of him isn't some Chieftain but an old man who wants to teach a lesson to a spoiled brat but can't bring himself to do so. In the end, he can only nod his head helplessly. "Alright, we will move to Vance City in 2 days. Everyone, everyone, let's not live in tents anymore, let's live in big houses."
【Hidden Mission: The return of the Dragon Princess has been completed. After the news of Molly turning into a Hell Demon Dragon spread, the Underground Dragon City stripped her of her identity as the Dragon Empress and Dragons without any hesitation. As the one who defeated the original Dragon Empress and the last inheritor of the Dragon King's bloodline, Ein Mezus (Little Red) was chosen by the Dragon City to become the new Dragon Empress. However, because Ein Mezus insisted on staying in Sulfur Mountain City, the Dragons decided to build a new Dragon City beside Sulfur Mountain City for her. From then on, Sulfur Mountain City will be under the protection of the Underground Dragons. Ein Mezus inherited the crown and became the new Dragon Empress. She is also the new Autarch of the Underground City. However, as she has always doted on Anne Layde like her own daughter, she is destined to be the most reliable support for Anne Layde. Reward: 5000 Fate Points】
Sulfur Mountain City, Little Red squints her eyes at the gigantic Dragon City being built not too far away and the countless giant dragons in the sky while dozing off. She isn't interested in the position of Dragon Empress but she is very interested in the fact that the Dragon Empress can find a reason to steal the wealth of other giant dragons. She, who has just been appointed as the Dragon Empress, is intending to find a reason to settle old scores with a few old friends and make use of this opportunity to clear out their treasury.
"Hehe, even if you are an Ancient Dragon, how can you not listen to the words of the Dragon Empress? It has been so many years since you contacted the Dragon City. Hurry up and hand over 200 years worth of taxes. If you don't have money, you can use God Equipment to pay for it. You don't even have a God Equipment, so how did you manage to become an Ancient Dragon? Give me a dozen Epic Treasures then. "
It seems that under the control of this powerful Dragon Empress, there is hope for the Underground Dragon City to return to its peak.
【Hidden Mission: The Origin of Law has been completed. When you ascended to Godhood, the news of Sulfur Mountain City being the Holy Land of Law has spread to every corner of the world. At this moment, countless travelers come here to learn the Power of Law. Furthermore, the Spatial Distortion between Sulfur Mountain City and Vance, which is connected to the Surface World, gives it an extremely high commercial value. It is fated to become a famous city in the world. Its new political structure where the administration and the judiciary are separated and the unique way the races interact with each other will become a model for countless cities to imitate and research. City Lord Anne .Layde is also fated to become famous because of this. The reward is 10,000 Honor Points.】
"Why me!! I don't want to be that whatever Supreme Judge. "
In the Supreme Court of Sulfur Mountain City, after sending off the guests who congratulated him on becoming the Supreme Judge with a calm face, he turns around and closes the door. Then, he flies into a rage and roars at his colleagues who are watching the commotion.
Recently, he has been too busy, so busy that he couldn't even pick up his greatest hobby in life. He is so busy that he feels that his little assistant hasn't seen the wind for a long time and is feeling listless.
"Cough cough, I am really too old. I am afraid that I am unable to accept such a heavy responsibility. If I am unable to carry out the heavy responsibility that Lord has left behind because of my old age, wouldn't I become a sinner? "
Kale.Diya fakes a cough while winking at his colleagues. The seemingly kind and old him seems to be unable to do as he wishes, but in reality, everyone is criticizing him in their hearts. "When we met you a few decades ago, you were already like this. As a High Elf, even if we were to die of old age, you would still be like this."
"Furthermore, the Hall of Trials has to let me hold the fort. I am probably the only one who can hold down those experts who are here to learn the Power of Law. Also, the mission to develop a new incantation, I really can't leave this place. "
As the number one expert of the 4 Halls and 1 Courtyard, he does need a super expert to hold down the fort. Furthermore, as the strongest incantationer, developing a new incantation is also his heavy responsibility.
Lilith looks helplessly at the silly cow who is panting heavily.
"I am fine with it, but right now, Lord Marguerite is preparing for her wedding trip and the heir, Silver Rose Eliza, suddenly refuses to take up the responsibility. If I don't go to the Executive Office to hold the fort, are you going to do it?"
Alright, I can't handle the mountain of documents that is enough to drown the entire room. Xueti turns his gaze towards the last of the Four Heavenly Kings of Law. The newly promoted Supreme Judge of Chrome City, Kevin, is trying his best to shrink his body, trying his best to reduce his presence.
"Kevin, my close brother, I will swap with you. I will go to Chrome City to take charge of the work, you can be the Supreme Judge. "
"Alright, the first thing I will do after taking office is to legislate nude running as a heavy crime. At the same time, I will also clean up the Gentlemen Alliance and Wild Bull Alliance that are filled with perverts and gays. I will wrap them up in three layers and hang them on the flagpole to dry."
Wrap them up in three layers in this hot season? Their sweat will probably fall like rain, dehydrating them in less than 2 hours. Hang them on the flagpole to dry? Are they going to dry them first before making them into salted meat?
The seemingly honest middle-aged man smiles generously, but the cold glint in his eyes makes everyone's heart tremble. It turns out that a dog that bites never barks. The most black-bellied and black-hearted ones are usually the ones that appear to be the most kind and honest. At this moment, when Kevin smiles, Xueti immediately shrinks back.
"Cough cough, since everyone trusts me, I will work hard to become the Supreme Judge!"
Alright, under the threat, Xueti brings the God Equipment Codex and SemiGod Equipment Gavel that Wumianzhe left behind with a tearful face and prepares to deal with the guests that keep coming to his door. Behind him, are his colleagues who escaped from their heavy responsibility happily.
However, from a certain point of view, after the original successor, Eliza, quit, he, who has some prestige, is indeed the most suitable successor. Him taking over as the Supreme Judge is also the hope of the masses.
【Main Mission: The only Queen of the Underground World has been completed. Anne .Galen's personal strength has reached Saint-rank and she has obtained the full support of the newly ascended Dragon Empress and Beastman King, the 2 Underground Autarchs. Sulfur Mountain City's internal structure is unified and powerful. Furthermore, she has obtained the support of the Elves. Out of the 5 Underground Autarchs, there is a 70% chance that she will become the ruler of the Underground World within 10 years. The Main Mission has been completed perfectly! The reward is 20,000 Fate Points.】
If I still had a chin, it would definitely be a situation where my chin would drop to the ground. What have I done for the Underground World, which is always filled with internal strife, to have another Emperor appear? Looking at history, that would definitely be a huge calamity for the Surface World.
【Due to your good relationship with Anne .Galen, during the invasion of the Underground World, you can try to eliminate the possibility of war through negotiation. Congratulations, you have done well. You have successfully changed one of the catastrophes that is destined to descend.】
It actually praises me? Is this still that darned System? But its reminder made me realize something. An Empress like Anne is a completely different matter from those ambitious and ruthless people who yearn to build their country on the Surface World.
The inhabitants of the Underground World yearn for sunlight and fresh air. Thus, invading the Surface World is unavoidable. Countless battles in history have proven this point as well. But compared to Shou who defected to the Demons, Eduar who defected to the Devils and the arrogant Dragon Empress Molly, if we were to lead the invasion, perhaps, it would be possible to prevent the war from destroying everything.
Thus, I immediately thought of a few countries that I have a grudge against and a few barren lands with few people.
"Un, as long as the investment is sufficient, those deserts and barren lands can be inhabited. Looks like I have to make a trip to the few human countries that have a passageway to the Underground World. I also have to think of ways to get these human countries to accept new neighbors. Even though it is difficult, it isn't completely hopeless. "
Just when I thought that it was over, the System spoke up once more.
【Calculating the Fate Points of individual Heroes. Moon Knight Diana has made up her mind to find her own path. She has already performed a Moonlight Ritual to change her skin color and will head to the Surface World in the near future. Reward: 1000 Fate Points. System Friendly Reminder: I suggest that you go with her. She will be a good nanny and meat shield.】
【Eaglestorm has brought a portion of his tribe back to the Surface World. He feels that he has found a new faith in Sulfur Mountain City. In the near future, a Druil Sect that pursues a neutral balance and uses law to achieve coexistence will rise. Reward: 1000 Fate Points.】
【In Sulfur Mountain City, Gnome and Gnome engineering has begun to merge. In the near future, a brand new engineering school will be born. The name of the Wise Roland will be recorded in the history books as the founder. The Roland series of robots will also appear in daily use, night use, water use, aerial use and many other variants. Reward: 1000 Fate Points.】
[Beifeng.Herault, under your influence, he finally understood the path of equality for all living things. Thus, he walked on his own legendary path … Alright, he's really too disgusting. Even the System doesn't want to say more. All you need to know is his glorious title, 'The Man Who Single-Handedly Created Multiple Races'! Reward: 10,000 Fate Points!】
Looking at that frightening 10,000 Fate Points, I didn't dare to ask any further.
"A Myth-ranked Hero, a new Druil Sect is only rewarded with 1000 Fate Points. 10,000 Fate Points? What did that pervert Beifeng do!! He created multiple races by himself? He isn't even a mage, so how did he do it!? "
I faintly guessed something, but my rational mind refused to think about it.
After a series of notifications, I was already numb to it. Finally, it was time to calculate my Fate Points.
【Fate Points: 124587】
Looking at this frightening number of Fate Points, I sucked in a breath of cold air. This darned System wasn't wrong in saying that the Myth-ranked Storyline was really generous.
Of course, the change of the Queen of the Underground World and the related powers was enough to change the situation of the entire Underground World. Thus, the amount of Fate Points produced was naturally not small. The only inconceivable thing was still that Beifeng.Herault.
A bright gold coupon also appeared in my hands. Looks like I didn't need it for my revival this time.
"Alright, revive for me!! Right, there's also Eliza! What happened to her! Right, who was the one who released the Fire Elemental God? "
…
While the Four Heavenly Kings of Law were still trying to push away their authority, in the Undead District of the same city, the other Four Heavenly Kings were reunited.
Even if we include the war not too long ago, [The Infallible Diffindor] had only appeared twice in history and the people who saw it the first time were all dead. However, that huge army still shocked the entire Underground World. But at this moment, those brave Undead Warriors were still living as usual. The Dancing Banshee continued to dance and the Divination Lich continued to do his divination. It was just that due to the Undead Army's attack that day, protecting the city and its citizens, the relationship between the Undead and the living improved significantly. The Crown of Death Paradise also had quite a number of visitors.
Of course, there would definitely be trouble, but when has the Red Hunting Hounds ever been afraid of trouble, especially now that there is a true God protecting them. However, those who have seen the Soul World have already been destroyed, but those who have seen it on their side followed the clues and found their way to the door.
At this moment, in a secret room in a dilapidated tower, on one side sits the Zombie King Decars, Spider Marquis Lionheart, Bone Dragon Queen Gria, and on the other side sits the Demonic Void Hound Bastian. Adding the Carnivore Ah Dang who is currently dozing off, the Four Heavenly Kings of Emperor Yongye (Due to a certain person's weird insistence, there must be 5 of the Four Heavenly Kings) are all gathered. Their secret discussion has already lasted for several days.
"… This is His Highness's plan. Of course, this is only a part of it. If you are willing to join, I will tell you the entire plan. The Emperor's intention is that if you are willing to join, then join. If you are unwilling, then I won't force you. "
Before this shocking secret, even the one who was hailed as the strongest strategist in the Xiluo Empire, Lionheart, was at a loss. But, when he was hesitating, his companions had already made their decision.
"That is to say, the Emperor is still in the mortal world!! Great, I am going to look for him. " Alright, Gria doesn't care about the scheming at all. She is just happy that Roland is still in the mortal world.
"Whatever Ah Pa asks Ah Dang to do, Ah Dang will do." Of the Four Heavenly Kings, only Ah Dang and Bastian are the Seven Deadly Sins, the creations of Emperor Yongye. Without a doubt, they are the most loyal to the Emperor's Faction.
After hesitating for a moment, Lionheart still nods his head in the end.
"I also believe in the Emperor's wisdom and decisions. Our Royal Power Faction is still loyal to the Emperor and looks forward to the Emperor's return."
Everyone's gaze turns to the last of the Four Heavenly Kings, Decars who has already joined the Parliament Faction. If not for the letter from Emperor Yongye in his hands, proving that he is trustworthy, Bastian would have killed him long ago.
"I have already returned to the Emperor's side. The secret that the Emperor wanted me to investigate has also been found out recently. Corpse, Ice, Desecration and 6 other large Undead Planes were opened 15 years ago. These days, Feyman has been running around the various planes."
Hearing the news about the Undead Planes, everyone at the scene is shocked. After all, there are quite a few Undead Emperors and Emperors of the previous generation in those planes, they can be considered as their seniors.
"However, the Undead Emperors of the other planes are not to be trifled with. Feyman and his Lich Council will only be eaten up by the other party. Looking at his progress, there are already a few planes that have agreed to work together with him. This is only possible if the First Senator Gricasio personally makes a move. I'm afraid that the super Undead Calamity predicted by the Emperor is just a matter of time. Looking at Feyman's gathering, those Undead Lords and Emperors won't need more than 30 years to prepare for the war. Boss, bring this news to the Emperor."
Yes, the current Decars who looks like a boorish man has accepted Roland's assignment to serve as a spy for the Parliament Faction. Even though he hasn't earned enough trust after more than 10 years, he has managed to obtain a lot of information from the clues he left behind and bribed spies.
Suddenly, the secret of the collusion between the First and Second Senators and the military intelligence that the Undead Planes are planning to invade the Parliament. In an instant, in front of him.
"Damn it, if the Third Senator is still around, things might not have developed to this extent."
Lionheart immediately understands why the Parliament Faction has so many new experts. When the First and Second Senators work together, coupled with the support of the Undead Planes, coupled with the death of two Senators from the neutral faction and a heavily injured one, the power of the Xiluo Empire tilting towards the other side is just a matter of time.
Alright, with a certain someone making a move, the disappearance of the Queen of Banshees Harloys has become a case without any leads. After losing her checks and balances, the Parliament Faction is completely invincible and the speed at which they are seizing full power is even faster.
However, Bast smiles. The development of the situation is within the Emperor's predictions.
"Then, since everyone has decided to work together, then let's listen to the words that the Emperor left behind. This is what he said …"
