"Imperial Father, I don't understand. Why do you advise me against joining the two great holy lands?"
He paid such a massive price precisely to keep him from joining a holy land. If he joined a certain holy land, not a single speck of trouble would remain, and Lu Chen was filled with confusion.
Yet upon hearing this, Azure Emperor wore a rare look of dread on his face. Turning back to look at Lu Chen once more, Azure Emperor shook his head.
"It is better for you not to know of this matter right now. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing!"
Azure Emperor spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart. What terrifying matter could possibly exist within joining a holy land, to make even the Celestial Realm Azure Emperor wear a rare look of fear on his face?
However, right at that moment, the semi-transparent panel appeared before Lu Chen's eyes once again.
The Reversal System's long-term main quest has commenced, with no time limit for quest completion!
Because the current Great Qian emperor, Lu Xuan, is weak and feeble, no longer retaining the reputation of Great Qian as the number one powerhouse in Eastern Cang, the two great holy lands and two great forbidden zones have jointly initiated the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding. If Great Qian is defeated in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding, as a Great Qian prince, you will also suffer backlash from Great Qian's destiny!
Reversal Mission Issued: Ensure the Great Qian Divine Dynasty achieves victory in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding by any and all means possible!
Quest Reward:
Guardian: Sun Wukong descends!
"What the fuck?"
Seeing the reward for the long-term quest issued on the semi-transparent panel, Lu Chen could not help himself and cursed out loud right in front of Azure Emperor!
Yet when Azure Emperor saw his precious six-year-old son drop a "what the fuck" right to his face, his expression darkened. He rubbed his fingers and stared fixedly at Lu Chen.
He suddenly felt that letting his precious son experience a complete childhood might not be a bad idea after all.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen was completely losing his mind.
No, was this system going off the rails?
What the heck, the quest reward even included Monkey Brother?
Dragging Monkey Brother straight from the primordial world into this fantasy world.
Was this even reasonable?
These were not even things of the same dimension.
Letting Monkey Brother come to this fantasy world—wouldn't that just be an absolute slaughter!
Wouldn't he himself be directly invincible?
Lu Chen took a long breath, a look of excitement appearing on his face.
To make Great Qian win the war of the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc.
A long-term quest with no time limit!
For the sake of Monkey Brother, Lu Chen clenched his small fists.
This quest was something he absolutely had to complete!
Lu Chen regained his composure. He looked toward Azure Emperor, only to find him looking at him with a dangerous expression, holding a pure gold cane in his hand!
"Cough, cough, cough. Imperial Father, listen to my explanation..."
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's expression shifted slightly, and he repeatedly reached out his hands to stop him.
Well, a father beating his son was only natural, and he had no way to fight back.
But getting beaten with that thing really hurt!
"Imperial Father, does that mean the great reshuffle of the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc has begun, and four nations will receive backing from the two great holy lands and two great forbidden zones, meaning four nations will simultaneously launch a war against my Great Qian?"
Lu Chen hastily changed the subject.
Hearing this, Azure Emperor nodded.
"Indeed. If I am not mistaken, in less than half a month, the two great holy lands and two great forbidden zones will find suitable nations. By then, four nations will simultaneously wage war against my Great Qian. Whichever nation is the first to trample the imperial capital of Great Qian beneath its horseshoes will win this Eastern Cang Blood Grinding."
Hearing this, Azure Emperor nodded and spoke.
"Imperial Father, since it all started because of your child, I am willing to lead the soldiers of Great Qian and guide our nation to victory in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding!"
Lu Chen patted his chest as he spoke.
Hearing this, Azure Emperor merely chuckled softly and said nothing more. He simply waved his hand at Lu Chen, signaling him to leave.
Tianchen Hall!
Little Fox had suddenly left, and Lu Chen found himself somewhat bored.
However, because of Little Fox, Blood Demon Venerable's conspiracy to gouge out his Supreme Bone had fallen through, and Blood Demon Venerable had even directly perished.
Lu Chen let out a long sigh, then with a thought, a triangular black flag appeared before him.
The moment this flag appeared, Lu Chen felt ghosts wailing and wolves howling all around him, the temperature dropping by several degrees.
It was precisely the Myriad Souls Banner, the quest reward he had previously obtained from completing a reversal mission!
Following that, with a thought from Lu Chen, the detailed attributes of the Myriad Souls Banner appeared on the semi-transparent panel before his eyes.
Myriad Souls Banner: A supreme special treasure of the Heavenly-grade supreme tier. After personally slaying enemies, their souls can be absorbed into the Myriad Souls Banner and refined into demonic spirits. Demonic spirits retain half of their strength from when they were alive. Once the number of demonic spirits refined by the Myriad Souls Banner reaches a threshold, its grade can be upgraded.
Upon seeing the detailed attributes of the Myriad Souls Banner, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
This was truly a good thing.
Wielding the Myriad Souls Banner, fellow Daoist, would you care to step inside my Human Emperor Banner for a spin?
What? You say this Human Emperor Banner of mine is emitting a black light?
Joking. Fellow Daoist, your eyes are simply playing tricks on you.
Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and put the Myriad Souls Banner away into his spatial ring.
Afterward, Lu Chen arrived at the seclusion hall. Closing his eyes, his chest bone emitted a terrifying aura.
Lu Chen could sense even more clearly that attached to this Supreme Bone were thirty-six thousand five hundred profoundly mystical runes.
Moreover, this Supreme Bone possessed an ability: using these supreme runes to nurture and create a rune clone.
The rune clone possessed all his abilities and powers apart from the Supreme Bone, and it could exist long-term.
One could say this ability was simply terrifyingly powerful.
With a thought from Lu Chen, the thirty-six thousand-plus supreme runes suddenly detached from the Supreme Bone and appeared before him.
Then, Lu Chen communicated with these thirty-six thousand-plus supreme runes using his will and spiritual power, nurturing and creating a rune clone.
As time passed, several hours later, the thirty thousand-plus supreme runes formed a humanoid shape.
Broadly speaking, this rune clone was identical to Lu Chen.
However, this clone had merely roughly formed a shape and had not truly finished gestating.
According to Lu Chen's rough estimation, successfully gestating a complete supreme rune clone would take at least around a month.
For Lu Chen, this could be considered a monumental project.
Still, it was no big problem; there was no rush for this thing.
Meanwhile, within the palace at Spirit Marvel Hall, Spirit Consort held a sound-transmission talisman with a pale face. From within the talisman came the helpless and despairing voice of Ling Xuntian.
"Daughter, my Ling family has provoked someone. Today, one of my family's direct lineal bloodline members dies every single day. Before long, my entire family will be wiped out. Today it was number five, tomorrow it will be number four—do not forget, you are number three!"
The roar of Ling Xuntian echoed from the sound-transmission talisman.
Hearing this, Spirit Consort turned pale, feeling entirely drained of strength.
"Number three, to be honest, has my Ling family suffered this great disaster because of that monstrous child?!"
The voice of Ling Xuntian continued to emerge from the sound-transmission talisman.
Upon hearing this, Spirit Consort trembled all over and despairingly closed her eyes.
