On Dinosaur Planet, Bai Xiaowen encountered his first Divine-Blooded Creature at the Evolver stage—Yatelilansuo.
The latter's overwhelming strength had left a deep impression on Bai Xiaowen.
The fact that he had managed to escape from Yatelilansuo back then was thanks to Bai Xiaowen's Godslayer passive, which ignored the Tier Suppression of Divine-Blooded Creatures. Even so, Bai Xiaowen's escape had still been quite perilous.
Just thinking about directly encountering a Divine Scion-tier Demon on the Dark Age Plane... even Bai Xiaowen, for all his courage, felt his scalp prickle.
Fortunately, this was a chain quest. At the beginning, he probably would not encounter Ismen, the Silver King, but would instead start by dealing with his subordinates.
There was also good news: the first few steps of Bai Xiaowen's chain quest, such as killing a Demon Lord, were all regarded as Divine-Scion Tier side quests and would grant Divine-Scion Tier Insight Orbs!
Although the difficulty rating would decrease—which referred to the D-to-SSS rating, since being classified as a Divine-Scion Tier side quest caused the letter rating to drop—a Divine-Scion Tier orb, no matter how poor, would not be worse than a Lord Tier orb. Its effects would very likely be on par with those of an Epic Tier Insight Orb.
Even if he reached the final step and discovered that he could not eliminate Ismen, the Silver King, Bai Xiaowen could still abandon the subsequent side quest and withdraw. The rewards from the previous quests would not disappear.
Therefore, there was no reason to abandon this chain quest, "Savior"—at least, he absolutely could not give up on the first few steps.
*It seems that in the Evolver World, there are two conditions for triggering a side quest. One is a direct request from a native, and the other is an Evolver's own
