The Main Quest
Old Wang's special treatment is something no one else will receive in the Future, which means they will have to split up again.
"I'll go scout ahead first. Once you've made your way here, come find me!" Old Wang said to Future group.
"Step back!" Lin Qimeng.
"Very well, I shall take my leave!"
After joking around for a bit, Old Wang and Lin Qimeng first went to Wang Dalong's place to meet him before setting off for the Outer Domain.
The Quartermaster assigned him the task of assisting the advance troops in establishing Starry Sky Outpost, which was essentially a defensive mission.
When the NPCs build the Starry Sky Outpost, the Swarm will come to interfere. Old Wang just needs to defend against a fixed number of waves.
This task shouldn't be too difficult, since it's prepared for all Player. However, Old Wang forgot one thing: the other Player haven't arrived yet, and he has to face the task of hundreds of thousands of people all by himself.
Completely unaware of the situation, he even started a live stream, wanting to share his experience with Future generations—definitely not to show off... probably?
Once he arrived at the Starry Sky Outpost, the mission was activated, and countless Starry Sky, Mutant Insect by Leviathan, swarmed towards the Planet where the Starry Sky Outpost was located.
Future viewers and some others who witnessed this scene were speechless.
"What movie is this?" asked a viewer who had accidentally entered the live stream.
"It doesn't seem like it, it looks like a quest in a game!"
"This guy's done for! So many weirdos!"
Old Wang hadn't verified his identity, and his current perspective was first-person, not third-person, so none of them recognized Old Wang.
"Wow, are we going to do a mission like this later?"
"What kind of ridiculous task is this? Is it even meant for humans?"
"Can the boss hold on?"
What happens if I fail the Main Quest?
"A song of 'Cooling Down' for you!"
When the members of the Future Guild saw this, they all expressed their shock, and then a little bit of joy. "You're so cocky!"
Through the words of the people in the Future, Normal Player gradually understood the process and the mission.
"So the person streaming this is Thousand King!"
"As expected of you, even the scenes of your missions are different from ours!"
Old Wang didn't have time to read the comments anymore; after discovering that the number of Swarm was beyond his expectations, he became serious.
Before the Planet's surface defense system could be activated, Old Wang took to the sky first, and the live broadcast perspective changed to a third-person view.
Then everyone saw the new Lord of the Elements and his performance.
Old Wang flew into the sky, raised one hand above his head, and a huge Fireball instantly gathered above him. Then he threw it at the Swarm in the sky.
The massive Fireball struck the Swarm like a meteor, followed by an explosion of flames that swept across the sky, burning large Insectoid to ashes.
With another wave of his hand, photon spheres of Photon Ray appeared out of thin air. These twenty-one photon spheres did not immediately begin their attack, but instead shot in whichever direction Old Wang pointed, resulting in a very high kill efficiency.
Meanwhile, electrons were also traversing the sky, reaping the fish that had escaped Old Wang's attack.
These Mutant Insect may look terrifying, but they are only around level 30 and cannot withstand Old Wang's attacks at all.
Lightning, storms, flames—all sorts of attacks flashed across the sky, and even the largest numbers of Mutant Insect could not withstand such damage.
The Player watching the live stream and the members of the Future Guild were stunned. They knew that Old Wang might be able to hold on, but they never expected that this person would completely overwhelm them.
"Shut it down, it's pointless!"
"It's completely worthless as a reference!"
"Damn it, he got me!"
"All I can say is that I saw YYDS!"
While the Player was expressing his overwhelming admiration, Old Wang had already flown above the atmosphere.
The first batch of Insectoid has been killed, but they are almost wiped out. The remaining few cannot break through the NPC defenses below.
When Old Wang arrived above the atmosphere, the second wave of Swarm had just left Leviathan.
Upon seeing this, he immediately summoned his Lava Armor. After a massive Magic Array appeared, Old Wang merged with the fighter jet in an instant.
"Meteor Volcano!!!"
As Old Wang let out a roar tinged with excitement, countless Magic Array of all sizes appeared out of thin air in the sky.
Then, streams of Lava shot out from the Magic Array, flying towards the Swarm that had not yet dispersed.
The Swarm was mostly vaporized by the Lava the moment it was hit, and the rest were carried away by the blasting Magma.
After dealing with another wave of Mutant Insect, Old Wang set his sights on the source of the Mutant Insect in Starry Sky: the enormous creature Leviathan floating in the Universe.
Old Wang canceled his fusion with the Lava Armor and then summoned the River Styx Armor.
After the giant Magic Array appeared once again, the River Styx Armor appeared and merged with the Lava Armor in place of the Old Wang.
The Player are now completely bewildered; they even feel sorry for the Swarm, as if they've run into a monster.
The River Styx Red Lotus bloomed in space, and a crimson ray pierced directly through the Leviathan.
"Roar!!!"
After letting out a furious roar, Leviathan glared fiercely at Old Wang with its enormous eyes, then tore through space and fled!
That's right, it escaped!
This human is too abnormal. The Overmind Will, judging through Leviathan's perception, knew that staying here would be pointless, so it simply slipped away.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Leviathan is different from those cannon Swarm; it is a very important unit of the Swarm.
Leviathan is even more important to the Swarm than regular Legendary units because Leviathan is the only regular unit in the Swarm with spatial abilities.
Other Mutant Insect only possess spatial abilities if they are mutants, but such Mutant Insect are one in a billion.
The Swarm has been waging war in the Universe for countless years, absorbing the best genes from various Universe, and their individual forms have become quite stable.
This stability makes it difficult for the Mutant Insect to retain the superior abilities of their mutants and form new species.
Therefore, the significance of Leviathan, with its spatial capabilities, to the Swarm is self-evident.
Old Wang didn't try to stop Leviathan. Although he was able to severely damage the opponent thanks to the River Styx Armor, it wouldn't have been impossible to force him to stay.
However, this might anger the Overmind of the Swarm, and if the Overmind were to forcefully descend and kill him, it would be a huge loss.
Don't forget he's still streaming. Even though he doesn't care about his invincible gold god status anymore, he can't just let it all slip away like that, right?
After Leviathan retreated, Old Wang completed his mission ahead of schedule, gaining some experience, a few Gold Crystal, and a Perfect Equipment.
"We can see that the main quest rewards are quite generous," Old Wang showed the viewers in the live stream the rewards he had just received, and then the next second he dismantled the bound Perfect Equipment.
"Good heavens! One second it was fine, the next it's disintegrated. Are you trying to say the materials from the disintegration are good?"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to me! Why do you have to break it down!"
"Are you stupid? This is bound; otherwise, why would it disintegrate?"
"A true master is a master; they don't even look at the stats of Perfect Equipment, they just distribute it directly!"
It was only then that Old Wang noticed that the popularity of his live stream had exploded at some point.
What was originally a live stream intended only for their own guild ended up attracting tens of millions of viewers.
"Thank you for watching. I haven't verified my identity, so please don't send me gifts. If you want to send gifts, wait until I've agreed on the revenue sharing with the official team!"
Alright! Alright! The mission is accomplished, everyone can go home now.
This is actually quite valuable for my reference. I've realized that this isn't a task for one person at all.
You should have completed the prerequisites around the same time, meaning you won't be here alone. This is a multiplayer mission; I got ambushed!
I'm ending my broadcast now. I'm going to settle some scores. Goodbye everyone!
After saying a lot, Old Wang ended the live stream and flew back to the Azure Dragon Legion to turn in the quest.
But shortly after he left, several Mecha appeared out of thin air in the Starry Sky. They looked at the spot where Old Wang had disappeared, exchanged glances, and then gave chase.
These people wore different Mecha, but they had one thing in common: a White Lotus on their chests.
"Looks like it's the White Lotus Cult again!" Old Wang said calmly as he mysteriously appeared out of nowhere after the others left.
He had sensed someone watching him earlier; the person who left was merely a special prop.
