The Final Mission and Gift

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A faint, noisy sound drifted through the crack in the open door of the archives room, like raindrops pattering on the eaves.

However, it rarely rains in the W District of Great Wilderness, so this is certainly not the sound of rain.

Nightless Sky Yong Lian raised her head, sniffed the faint smell of rust in the air, and gently rubbed her temples as she spoke.

"Just as I expected, the 'Alchemy Turbulence' is coming."

"Every time I go to the Great Wilderness, if there are Alchemy Turbulence, my head gets a tingling pain."

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian and said softly.

"But it will only cause you a little pain, right?"

"Of course, this level of 'Alchemy Turbulence' won't affect me," Nightless Sky Yong Lian looked at Lin Yu, "But... it might still have an impact on what you're going to do next."

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian: "Which part are you referring to?"

Nightless Sky Yong Lian spoke casually, "Of course, it's about retrieving the parts of the Supreme Evolution's research on 'Authority,' the parts I've Oblivion."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then I need to ask... what kind of compensation I'll receive."

"What? Isn't this exactly what you needed... You guys came here for this part of the 'Supreme Evolution' technology, right?" Nightless Sky Yong Lian said, resting her chin on her hand, dissatisfied. "Isn't this also part of the 'reward'?"

Lin Yu shrugged. "As you know, this only benefits 'Order'... I don't have aligned interests with 'Order'."

"You said it yourself, there's also the 'Alchemy Turbulence,' which will affect what I'm about to do... I don't think that's a good thing, is it? The difficulty of the mission has increased, so shouldn't the rewards also go up?"

Nightless Sky Yong Lian sighed, "Honestly, couldn't you at least do me a favor for your sister's sake...?"

"Have you ever done me any favors because of your daughter, Family Head?"

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian and asked.

"White Bone Flowing Light..."

"That's a trophy I brought back myself."

Nightless Sky Yong Lian pursed her lips. "Alright... then how about I give you the right to use the 'Fear' Authority when you bring back the research results I've made?"

Lin Yu was stunned when he heard Nightless Sky Yong Lian: "What the hell?"

"'Fear' Authority... What, didn't you just discover that I was borrowing the power of this 'Authority'?" Nightless Sky Yong Lian said calmly, "You know I've studied 'fear' for a long time, why are you so surprised?"

Lin Yu sighed, "I thought this Authority wasn't in your hands—you said before that this Authority was lost."

"It is indeed lost, and I don't know its whereabouts... However, that doesn't mean I can't communicate with it," said Nightless Sky Yong Lian cheerfully. "I can transfer this 'permission' to you."

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and declined the offer from Nightless Sky Yong Lian.

"I'm sorry... the power from 'Authority' is still too risky, not to mention that this 'fear' Authority itself makes me an easy target for some terrifying being."

"You may not have felt anything in the Barren Realm, but when I travel between the Ten Realms, I still have to be careful—there is a powerful Deity who is particularly obsessed with the Authority 'fear'."

"However... I wouldn't mind hearing about the information you possess regarding the 'Fear' Authority."

"That's a real shame. I think the Authority 'fear' is quite compatible with you, and your sister also admires Authority," Nightless Sky Yong Lian said softly. "She said it's an Authority with 'limitless potential'."

"However, since you don't want the Authority 'fear'... would you like my Alchemy talent?"

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian: "What do you mean... your Alchemy talent can be transferred?"

Nightless Sky Yong Lian Remembrance tilted her head. "Otherwise, this was originally something I made a deal with the Demons to extract from my brothers and sisters. It's not an impossible thing for me to extract it again and give it to you."

"Although this talent is 'man-made,' my skill level is indeed among the best in this world."

"Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so it's a shame to waste all this talent."

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then didn't stand on ceremony with Nightless Sky Yong Lian.

"If you don't plan to give it to someone like Nightless Sky Huo Le, then of course I have no objection."

"She doesn't need such high Alchemy Talent; the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot is enough," Nightless Sky Yong Lian Remembrance said with a smile. "Then it's settled."

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian: "You agreed so readily, it actually makes me a little uneasy."

"It's good that you're uneasy... Actually, even if you didn't bring up compensation, I would still give you these things," Nightless Sky Yong Lian said with a light laugh. "On one hand... I really do need you to take care of the Nightless Sky Family for me after I'm gone, so giving you some benefits will make me feel more at ease—you're not like that guy Paris, I have to be sincere to get you to do things."

"On the other hand... I really feel guilty."

Lin Yu asked curiously, "Is there something you feel guilty about?"

Nightless Sky Yong Lian sighed, "Do you think that now that you've exposed me as the mastermind behind everything, and know that I am the 'Creator,' there's nothing left to worry about?"

"But actually it's not... The most difficult part is the final step in retrieving the Core Technology of 'Supreme Evolution'."

"I can tell you where I've placed the technology for those 'Authority,' but... I must also remind you that the security specifications there are designed to prevent intrusion by other Chosen of God."

"Moreover, I don't even remember what I put in it—after all, 'active Oblivion's doesn't allow for such precise selection; if I want to forget the technical aspects, I have to forget everything I did in it."

"So, I can't even tell you what's in there... I can only wish you Good luck, Lin Yu."

"Furthermore, since it's been fifteen years since I last went inside, I'm not sure what's inside—it's nominally sealed off, and perhaps many of the alchemical facilities inside have gone out of control or malfunctioned, making the situation even more complicated."

"That's why I said the 'Alchemy Turbulence' would affect you... because if there were any alchemical facilities malfunctioning, this 'Alchemy Turbulence' would definitely exacerbate the chaos and worsen the crisis."

Lin Yu sighed, "So this is where you were waiting for me, Your Family Head."

"Feel sorry."

Nightless Sky Yong Lian.

An apology from a Royal Nobles Family Head is indeed rare in the City That Never Sleeps.

Lin Yu accepted the apology.

"It's alright, I don't think there will be any problem," Lin Yu said, then added, "Besides, I also tricked you, so we're even."
