Steward Mu was not a man, but a woman. To be precise, she was an old granny with a dignified aura.
Steward Mu wore a long blue dress and sat behind a long table. She wore a tall purple-gold crown on her silver hair. Every strand of her silver hair was neatly coiled on her head. Her pair of red phoenix eyes were exceptionally sharp and bright, making the fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes look exceptionally sharp.
When Xia Pingan entered, Steward Mu was reprimanding a red-robed deacon.
"... There are many people who have been swept into the God Slaying Bug World by the spatial turbulence, possibly in the millions. Many of them have already perished. The information from Mount Du Yin has been verified, so I'll leave the rest to you. After you find those people, take them directly to Myriad Spirits City and let them settle down. If you encounter anyone who dares to harm the people of Myriad Gods Planet, regardless of which sect they are from, kill them if necessary. You can deal with them as you see fit, and the Myriad Gods Sect will take care of everything..." Steward Mu's words were as cold as ice.
"Yes..." The red-robed deacon bowed and left. Before he left, he happened to bump into Xia Pingan. He glanced at Xia Pingan before the two of them brushed past each other.
Liang Tian!
If not for the fact that he had changed his body, Xia Pingan would have greeted Liang Tian.
What a coincidence. He did not expect to see an old acquaintance of the Undying Sea here after leaving it. What a coincidence.
Liang Tian did not know that the horse-faced, triangular-eyed summoner was also an old acquaintance of his. After receiving the mission, he left in a hurry.
"Steward Mu, the person is here..." The Myriad God Sect disciple who brought Xia Pingan here reported.
"Greetings, Steward Mu..." Xia Pingan bowed to Steward Mu in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Steward Mu glanced at Xia Pingan and waved his hand. A ray of light flashed and an ancient Eight Trigrams bronze mirror was summoned in front of Xia Pingan. The bronze mirror was more than three feet long and round. There were Eight Trigrams patterns around the bronze mirror and it looked extremely abstruse. The bronze mirror emitted a faint white light and flew around Xia Pingan, illuminating his body. However, Xia Pingan's body and appearance did not change at all in the bronze mirror. He still looked the same as before. Seeing this, Steward Mu nodded and waved his hand, causing the bronze mirror to disappear.
Xia Pingan felt that the bronze mirror was similar to the Reflection Mirror. However, he did not expect that the bronze mirror could be summoned using a technique.
"That's right, this is your true appearance. There is no hiding!" Steward Mu nodded and said slowly, "I heard from Steward Qi that your strength is not bad and you are already at the peak of the Reflection Realm. Moreover, your body is strong and your divine power is extraordinary. Why do you want to come to the Myriad God Sect to be a Man of Sacrifice?"
"If I don't become a Man of Sacrifice, how can I quickly obtain the Holy Spring of the Netherpassage Realm?" Xia Pingan said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"You don't look very old. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The path to becoming a God is to go against the current and seize every moment. If I don't even dare to go to the Myriad God Planet and am afraid of death, how can I become a God?" Xia Pingan was still cold and arrogant.
"Good, you have ambition!" Steward Mu smiled and looked at Xia Pingan with admiration. "If you dare to go, there will naturally be a Holy Spring."
"Give me the Holy Spring and I can go now!" Xia Pingan was not afraid at all.
Steward Mu looked at Xia Pingan and nodded. He did not say anything else and just waved his hand to let the white-robed disciple take Xia Pingan away.
After leaving, Xia Pingan understood that the red-robed Deacon in charge of the assessment was not sure if he had any problems, so he had specially asked someone to bring him to Steward Mu. Now that Steward Mu had nodded, it meant that he had passed.
The white-robed disciple did not bring Xia Pingan back to the drill ground. Instead, he brought Xia Pingan into a heavily guarded and spacious underground passage. After walking for more than ten minutes in the underground passage, Xia Pingan saw the end of the underground passage. It was in the belly of a huge mountain. In the middle of the mountain, there was a pitch-black spatial crack that was more than ten meters long. It was slowly twisting and turning like a whirlpool. Dark red light shone out from the spatial crack. In addition to the light, one could also see lightning and thunder on the other side of the spatial crack. The outline of a huge planet could be faintly seen...
Xia Pingan was slightly shocked. Could it be that this place led to the Myriad God Planet?
The white-robed disciple who had brought him here asked Xia Pingan to wait here before leaving. Xia Pingan did not move. This was because other than a few white-robed disciples, there was also a red-robed Deacon in charge. The red-robed Deacon was sitting cross-legged above the spatial crack with his eyes closed. He seemed to be indifferent to everything that was happening in the belly of the mountain, like a sculpture floating in the air. However, the aura of a Seven Sun Realm expert emitted from his body was extremely intimidating.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Pingan saw Deacon Qi, who had previously assessed him, walk in with more than twenty people.
Needless to say, the others who did not come must have been eliminated.
Deacon Qi seemed to already know that Xia Pingan was here. When he saw Xia Pingan, he was not surprised. After bringing everyone here, he pointed at the spatial crack in the belly of the mountain. "This spatial crack leads to the Myriad God Planet. Back then, the Myriad God Sect chose to build their side courtyard here because of this spatial crack. Grand Spirit Mountain is the place with the most spatial cracks and void mystic realms in the Godslaying Bug World …"
As expected! Xia Pingan thought to himself …
"Deacon Qi, can you give us the Divine Spring now? We can go over there now!" The summoner with messy hair in the crowd could no longer hold himself back. He stepped forward and said in a rough voice. This guy was also the first to lift the iron lion.
"The Divine Spring will be given to you, but not now. Before you go over, let me tell you about the rules of our Myriad God Sect!" Deacon Qi scanned the crowd. "In order to prevent people from secretly using the spatial turbulence to come back after bathing in the Divine Spring, everyone has to eat this thing before going over there!"
As Deacon Qi spoke, he moved his hand and a pitch-black elixir appeared in his hand.
Seeing that thing, Xia Pingan's nose twitched and his expression changed slightly. Xia Pingan felt that the elixir's aura seemed to have a strange connection with the surrounding environment and energy. Something was wrong. If not for the fact that Xia Pingan's Soul Power had grown to an unimaginable level, he would not have felt that the elixir could interact with the environment …
This elixir was too strange!
"Deacon Qi, what is this?" Xia Pingan asked directly.
"This is poison …" The moment Deacon Qi spoke, the surrounding people's expressions changed. Deacon Qi continued, "This is a special poison refined by the Myriad God Sect. This poison is refined using a special item from the Godslaying Bug World. After eating this poison, if you enter the Myriad God Planet and return to the Godslaying Bug World, the poison's medicinal properties will be triggered by the environment of the Godslaying Bug World. Those below the Eight Suns Realm will turn into pus and blood …"
"What does the Myriad God Sect mean by this? They actually want to give us poison?" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"I'm not done yet. This poison will be completely digested within half an hour after you eat it. If you eat this poison and you're in any place outside the Godslaying Insect Realm, this poison won't take effect. It won't cause any harm or toxicity to you. On the contrary, it'll be a little beneficial. Only in the Godslaying Insect Realm will this poison be triggered. At the same time, this poison will dissolve and disappear under three circumstances, unable to cause any harm to you."
"What are the three conditions?"
"The first condition is that if you advance to the Eight Suns Realm and the secret mandala changes again, the medicinal properties of this poison will completely disappear. The second condition is that 70 years after eating this poison, the medicinal properties of this poison will naturally disappear. If you eat this poison and enter the Myriad God Planet, there are only two possibilities under normal circumstances. First, you can advance to the Eight Suns Realm on the Myriad God Planet. Second, you can live as a human on the Myriad God Planet for 70 years. Of course, another condition is that the Myriad God Sect has some missions on the Myriad God Planet. If you can complete those missions, you may be rewarded. Those rewards will accelerate the decomposition of this poison in your body in advance, shortening the time you have to live and fight on the Myriad God Planet. Other than these three conditions, if you take this poison and return to the Godslaying Bug World without permission before the poison dissolves completely, it will be equivalent to committing suicide …"
Everyone finally understood that this was the method the Myriad God Sect used to control the Men of Sacrifice entering the Myriad God Planet.
"That means that once we reach the Godslaying Bug World, we will have to listen to the orders of the Myriad God Sect. You want us to be cannon fodder? Do we have to go?" Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
"If you reach the Myriad God Planet and do not wish to carry out the missions of the Myriad God Sect, that is completely fine. The Myriad God Sect will not force you to carry out any missions. Of course, if you can complete the missions of the Myriad God Sect, you will be able to obtain the antidote and rewards from the Myriad God Sect. All of this is voluntary. Let me put it more harshly. As long as you can keep yourself alive, even if you find a place to dig a hole and live for 70 years, you can return to the Godslaying Bug World after the medicinal properties of this poison have worn off. The Myriad God Sect will definitely not find trouble with you! If the Myriad God Sect does not have the means to ensure that you will stay on the Myriad God Planet, wouldn't the Myriad God Sect become a spendthrift that provides free Divine Spring water to others? How can there be such a foolish sect in this world? "
At this point, Manager Qi smiled. With a wave of his hand, a wax pill containing poison appeared in his hand. "Everyone, you can consider it. The Myriad God Sect will not force you. If you have thought it through, you can come to me to collect a poison pill. After consuming it, you will be able to pass through the spatial crack. The Divine Spring is on the Myriad God Planet and has been prepared. Once you reach the Myriad God Planet, you can take it. If you wish to withdraw, you do not need to consume this poison.
Just turn around and leave … "Someone in the crowd hesitated for a moment before turning around to leave. He had chosen to give up.
However, Xia Pingan walked over. Under Manager Qi's gaze, he took a wax pill and opened it. He opened his mouth and swallowed the poison within. Then, he turned around and was the first to fly into the spatial crack that led to the Myriad God Planet …
