Chapter 1107: Chapter 454: Emperor Zhaoning

Leng Shan: ???

No, I was just saying it casually, how do you actually have it.

Leng Shan and Sword Star exchanged a glance, then Leng Shan asked:

"What do you mean by exploring the Demon Realm?"

World Dungeons are different from regular dungeons; the World Dungeon maps are too large, and the tasks too many. Wu Chang must have enough helpers to cover all aspects.

Because he had previously collaborated with the two, and the collaboration was quite pleasant, he considered them half his own and shared information about the Demon Realm, the Four Demon Kings, and the Earth Immortals of the Humanity Alliance with them.

After listening to Wu Chang’s description, Leng Shan and Sword Star stared blankly at Wu Chang, not knowing what to say.

It had been five or six hours since they entered the World Dungeon. After taking on the hidden task from the Humanity Alliance, they were supposed to head to the Immortal Mansion for exploration.

Theoretically, Wu Chang’s experience should be similar to theirs: complete the trial, then enter the Immortal Mansion, and return after clearing it.

Apart from being one Immortal Mansion ahead, their exploration of the World Dungeon should be in sync, or at least not vastly different. But what was that long list of information Wu Chang just mentioned? They hadn’t heard any of it.

It’s understandable not knowing about the Demon Realm, but the Four Demon Kings, the heavy losses from the last exploration of the Demon Realm, and the Humanity Alliance gearing up to send experts again—all these involve the upper echelons of the Humanity Alliance. You can tell just by listening that this information wouldn’t be shared casually with unknown Celestial Beings.

How did he achieve this?

Based on Wu Chang’s entry into the dungeon, as ranked number one with special privileges, he should have entered only twelve hours before them.

In twelve hours, not only did he clear another Immortal Mansion and gather so much information, but he also had full confidence to take on this hidden task. Without knowing better, one would think he had been in the dungeon for twelve days.

The way you’re clearing dungeons, how are others supposed to keep up with you?

Wu Chang said to Leng Shan:

"Aren’t you carrying the Faith Virus and haven’t decided on a place to deploy it yet? Based on my intel, there are two ideal locations: one is the Ritual Place Temple, and the other is the center of the Demon Realm."

"As we enter the Demon Realm this time, let’s confirm the situation at the center. If it’s suitable, we will directly place the Faith Virus in the Demon Realm."

Leng Shan nodded. Since Wu Chang had already mapped out such a good plan for them, they had no reason to refuse.

Wu Chang briefly recounted the experience of clearing the Immortal Mansion trial to the two, then urged them to head to their respective Immortal Mansions. He also asked them to pay extra attention to see if they get any specific information after obtaining the Immortal Mansion’s permissions.

He wasn’t planning to accompany them. He trusted An Rong, the Child of Fortune’s judgment that there would be no immortal fate in other Immortal Mansions.

Without immortal fate, neither fortune nor true intent held any value for him. Rather than waste time on another trip, he preferred to invest more energy in Zhenyue City.

After saying goodbye to Sword Star and Leng Shan, Wu Chang headed directly to the Ritual Place Temple.

When Yuan Yan activated the Megrez array eye, he had already synchronized the news of Wu Chang obtaining immortal fate back to Zhenyue City. Seeing Wu Chang return now, the attitude of the Humanity Alliance’s upper echelons was even more enthusiastic than before.

Initially, they thought Megrez Immortal Mansion would be the last array eye activated and that they’d need to form a formation with the other six array eyes to weaken Megrez, then temporarily bolster Yuan Yan with Human Dao Destiny to complete Megrez’s fifth trial.

Little did they expect, the hardest nut to crack, as they saw it, turned out to be the second array eye activated.

No wonder he’s the first Celestial Being; his capabilities are just that formidable.

"Player has completed the hidden branch task: Explore the Seven Immortal Mansions and assist the Humanity Alliance in completing the corresponding array eye of the Purple Star Break Evil Grand Array."

"Rewards received: Humanity Alliance Deacon Permissions."

"You have activated the Megrez array eye, contributing greatly to the Humanity Alliance’s mission of exorcising evil and defending the Dao. Contribution Value: +100."

"Your current Contribution Value: 1400. Among all players, your Contribution Value rank is: 1."

Wu Chang looked at the task reward prompt before him and almost choked.

Lü Changgeng didn’t sync Celestial Gate intel with the Humanity Alliance’s upper echelons, but this way of offering minor favors to Celestial Beings was adequately synced.

Activating the Megrez array eye and gaining such a significant Megrez immortal fate should have been enough to elevate his main body from Protector to Earth Immortal, outranking An Rong and being on par with Peach Fairy in the Humanity Alliance.

Yet for players, it was only enough to become a Deacon.

In the Humanity Alliance, the ranks from low to high are ordinary disciple, core disciple, steward, deacon, hall master, elder, protector, elder, Earth Immortal, and Alliance Hierarch.

The deacon’s position seems mid-tier, but in a major sect like Divine Sword Sect, it only equates to a second-rate expert level.

When compared to the status of the first Celestial Being, it’s ridiculously low.

The Humanity Alliance seems to be banking on the fact that Celestial Beings won’t abandon Da Xuan, daring to offer such an absurd reward.

Even though the level was low, Wu Chang could reluctantly understand it since the Humanity Alliance is an organization. Individuals joining versus those backed by sects coming with resources entail significant differences.

For example, with the same strength, a Loose Cultivator or a small sect might be an enshrinee in the Humanity Alliance. With a mature sect behind them, like the Tang Sect leader, they could become a Protector; with a large sect backing them, they’d enter the Humanity Alliance as an elder.

But the issue is, besides the rank, the player’s contribution settlement value was also reduced.

Activating the Kaiyang array eye had added 300 Contribution Value to the main body, while the clone, as a Celestial Being, activating the Megrez array eye only increased it by 100 points.
