What is this? Let Brother Monkey protect my way?

"Father Emperor, I don't understand. Why do you advise me against joining the two great Holy Lands?"

After paying such a heavy price, all to prevent me from joining a Holy Land? If I joined one, all these troubles would disappear. Lu Chen was utterly confused.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor showed a rare hint of fear on his face. He then looked back at Lu Chen and shook his head.

"It's better that you don't know about this matter for now. Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing!"

The Azure Emperor spoke slowly.

Lu Chen's heart trembled at his words. What terrifying thing was hidden within joining a Holy Land that it could make the Azure Emperor, a cultivator of the Celestial Realm, show such rare fear?

However, just then. A semi-transparent panel reappeared before Lu Chen's eyes.

[Reversal System Main Quest: Long-Term Quest Activated. No time limit for completion!]

[As the current Great Qian Emperor, Lu Xuan, is weak and no longer holds the title of the strongest nation in Eastern Cang, the two Holy Lands and the two Forbidden Grounds have jointly initiated the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding. If Great Qian fails in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding, as a prince of Great Qian, you will also suffer the backlash of Great Qian's destiny!]

[Reversal Mission Issued: Ensure Great Qian Divine Dynasty's victory in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding through various means!]

[Mission Reward:

Protector: Sun Wukong descends!]

"Holy crap?"

Seeing the reward for the long-term quest on the semi-transparent panel, Lu Chen couldn't help but blurt out a curse right in front of the Azure Emperor!

The Azure Emperor's face darkened as he saw his six-year-old son directly say "Holy crap" in front of him. He rubbed his fingers and stared intently at Lu Chen.

He suddenly felt that letting his precious son experience a complete childhood might not be a bad thing.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen was completely stunned.

Wait, has this system gone off the rails?

Seriously, the mission reward includes Monkey King?

Directly bringing Monkey King from the Primordial Era into this fantasy world.

Is that even reasonable?

They aren't even from the same dimension.

If Monkey King comes to this fantasy world, won't he just dominate everything?

Won't I become invincible immediately?

Lu Chen took a deep breath, a look of excitement on his face.

Ensuring Great Qian wins the war of the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc.

An unlimited long-term quest!

For Monkey King, Lu Chen clenched his small fists.

He absolutely had to complete this mission!

Lu Chen regained his composure and looked at the Azure Emperor, only to find him staring at him with a dangerous expression, holding a pure gold staff!

"Cough, cough, cough, Father Emperor, let me explain..."

Seeing this, Lu Chen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hands to stop him.

Honestly, when a father beats his son, I can't fight back. It's only natural.

But this thing really hurts when it hits!

"Father Emperor, so, the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc is undergoing a major reshuffle. Four kingdoms will receive the support of the two Holy Lands and two Forbidden Grounds. At that time, four kingdoms will simultaneously declare war on Great Qian, is that correct?" Lu Chen quickly changed the subject.

The Azure Emperor nodded at this.

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, within half a month, the two Holy Lands and two Forbidden Grounds will find suitable kingdoms. Then, four kingdoms will simultaneously wage war on Great Qian. Whichever kingdom's forces first trample our Great Qian imperial capital will be declared the victor of this Eastern Cang Blood Grinding," the Azure Emperor said, nodding.

"Father Emperor. This is all because of me. I am willing to lead the soldiers of Great Qian and lead our nation to victory in the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding!" Lu Chen declared, patting his chest.

Hearing this, the Azure Emperor merely chuckled and said nothing more. He simply waved his hand at Lu Chen, signaling him to leave.

Tianchen Hall!

The little fox had suddenly left, and Lu Chen felt a bit bored.

However, because of the little fox, the Blood Demon Venerable's plot to steal his Supreme Bone had failed, and he had even perished.

Lu Chen sighed deeply, then with a thought, a triangular black flag appeared before him.

The moment the flag appeared, Lu Chen felt as if ghosts were wailing all around him, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

This was the Myriad Souls Banner, a reward he had obtained from completing a previous Reversal Mission!

Then, with another thought, the detailed attributes of the Myriad Souls Banner appeared on the semi-transparent panel before him.

[Myriad Souls Banner: Heaven Tier Top-Grade Special Supreme Treasure. After personally killing an enemy, you can absorb their soul into the Myriad Souls Banner and refine it into a demon spirit. The demon spirit will possess half of the power of its former life. When the number of demon spirits refined by the Myriad Souls Banner reaches a certain limit, its grade will be improved.]

Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he saw the detailed attributes of the Myriad Souls Banner.

This was truly a good item.

"Holding the Myriad Souls Banner, fellow Daoist, are you willing to come play in my Human Emperor Banner for a bit?"

"What? You say my Human Emperor Banner is emitting black light?

"Don't joke. Fellow Daoist, you're just seeing things."

Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction and put the Myriad Souls Banner into his Spatial Ring.

Afterward, Lu Chen arrived at the cultivation hall, closed his eyes, and his chest armor bone exuded a terrifying aura.

Lu Chen could sense even more that attached to this Supreme Bone were thirty-six thousand five hundred incredibly profound and mysterious runes.

And this Supreme Bone had an ability: to use these Supreme Runes to nurture and create a Rune Clone.

The Rune Clone would possess all of Lu Chen's abilities and power, except for the Supreme Bone itself, and could exist for a long time.

It could be said that this ability was simply terrifyingly immense.

With a thought from Lu Chen, the over thirty-six thousand Supreme Runes on the Supreme Bone suddenly detached from it and appeared before him.

Then, Lu Chen used his will and spiritual energy to communicate with these over thirty-six thousand Supreme Runes, nurturing and creating the Rune Clone.

As time passed, several hours later, the over thirty thousand Supreme Runes formed a humanoid shape.

Broadly speaking, this Rune Clone looked exactly like Lu Chen.

However, this clone was only a rough shape, not yet successfully nurtured.

Based on Lu Chen's rough estimation, it would take about a month to successfully nurture and complete the Supreme Rune Clone.

For Lu Chen, this was a massive undertaking.

But it wasn't a big problem; there was no rush for this thing.

At this moment, in the Imperial Palace, within the Spirit Marvel Hall, Spirit Consort held a sound transmission jade pendant with a pale face. From the jade pendant came Ling Xuntian's helpless and desperate voice.

"Daughter, my Ling Family has offended someone. Now, one of my Ling Family's direct blood relatives dies every day. It won't be long before my entire Ling Family is wiped out. Today it's the fifth, tomorrow it's the fourth. Don't forget, you are the third!"

Ling Xuntian's roar came from the sound transmission jade pendant.

Hearing this, Spirit Consort's face turned even paler, and she felt somewhat weak.

"Third child, to be honest, has my Ling Family suffered such a great calamity because of that monster?"

Ling Xuntian's voice continued to come from the sound transmission jade pendant.

Hearing this, Spirit Consort trembled all over and closed her eyes in despair.
