Bronze Token Divine Envoy

Questions?

Zhou Zheng had far too many things he wanted to figure out, so shortly after the voice fell silent, he immediately asked,

"Where is this? The Temporal Temple?"

"Yes, you are currently inside the Temporal Temple!"

"Will I be staying in this small room from now on?" Zhou Zheng asked again.

"This space is your Private Space. No one other than you or those you permit may enter it! Of course, you may also choose to teleport to Time-Space Island No. 954!"

"Time-Space Island?"

Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised. He naturally knew that the great being who had created the Temporal Temple was the Island Master of Time and Space. Therefore, Time-Space Island had to be related to the Island Master of Time and Space.

"All Cyclic Reincarnators of the Temporal Temple may travel to Time-Space Islands!" the voice explained. "There are currently 10,000 Cyclic Reincarnator squads on Time-Space Island No. 954, ranging from Mortal Class B squads to Transcendent Class C squads."

"How are Cyclic Reincarnator squad ranks determined?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"All Cyclic Reincarnator squads are divided into twelve ranks: Mortal Classes A, B, C, and D; Transcendent Classes A, B, C, and D; and Deity Classes A, B, C, and D!" the voice said. "The criteria are based on the strength of the squad members."

As the voice explained, Zhou Zheng quickly understood.

A squad's major classification was determined by the strength of its strongest member.

If every member of a squad was mortal, it was a mortal squad. If it had even one Transcendental, it was a Transcendental squad. Likewise, if it had one Deity, it was a Deity squad.

As for the A, B, C, and D ranks within each major classification, they were determined by the squad's overall strength.

The gap covered by this classification was enormous. Zhou Zheng's squad had two Transcendentals, himself and Herk, and neither of them was an ordinary Transcendental. If they faced a squad with only one newly advanced Transcendental, they would crush it completely. Yet both such a squad and Zhou Zheng's squad were classified as Transcendent Class D.

In fact, a top-tier Transcendent Class D squad could easily crush Zhou Zheng's squad.

This squad ranking system was not merely meant to distinguish squad strength. In truth, the higher a squad's rank, the more privileges it received.

In the Temporal Temple, the basic interval between missions for every squad was once every ten days. As a squad's rank rose, that interval would be extended.

Since Zhou Zheng's squad was currently rated Transcendent Class D, the interval between their squad missions was as long as three years.

Deity-level squads were even more outrageous. They might only receive one mission every ten thousand years.

Of course, this time referred to when the entire squad went on missions together. In reality, depending on individual strength, each person's mission schedule would also differ.

Zhou Zheng and Herk were both Transcendentals in the squad, so they could remain for the full three-year limit.

But Feng Zhuhong and Jit were mortals within the squad, so they had to undertake an individual mission once every year.

The reasoning was simple. Only by improving through one mission after another could the weak keep pace with the strong, ensuring the squad remained balanced in the end.

Otherwise, the entire squad's strength would remain unbalanced.

If that happened, there would be little point in the Temporal Temple organizing Cyclic Reincarnators into squads.

Of course, if the weak died in their repeated individual missions, that was fine as well. The Temporal Temple would replenish the squad with newcomers at any time.

Naturally, extending the interval between squad missions was only one of the benefits of a higher squad rank. There were many other benefits, too many to explain in a short time.

In short, raising a squad's rank brought enormous benefits.

"Do you have any other questions?" the voice asked again.

"How many Time-Space Points did I receive from this mission? And what can Time-Space Points do within the Temporal Temple?" Zhou Zheng asked directly.

"The pattern on your left wrist represents the Temporal Temple, and it is also proof of your identity!" the voice continued. "Any questions related to Time-Space Points can be answered through it. You may focus your consciousness on it to receive the relevant answers."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng immediately concentrated his consciousness on his left wrist.

At once, lines of information appeared before Zhou Zheng.

Xia Transcendental Zhou Zheng, the basic mission you undertook this time has been completed.

The Wang Family has 246 surviving bloodline members, approximately twenty percent of the original total. Therefore, your squad has received a total of 500 Time-Space Points.

Based on your contributions during the mission, you have received 250 Time-Space Points.

Because you comprehended the Mystery of Light during the mission, you have received 50 Time-Space Points.

Because you comprehended the Mystery of Time during the mission and reached the Second Level of the Myriad Realms, you have received 1,000 Time-Space Points.

Because you broke through to become a Transcendental during the mission, you have received 100 Time-Space Points.

Because you killed Silver Claw, Purple Fiend, and Gufeng of Reincarnation Squad No. 01398 during the mission, you have received 550 Time-Space Points.

Because you killed the newly advanced Transcendental Wilco during the mission, you have received 100 Reincarnation Points.

In total, you have received 2,050 Time-Space Points from this mission.

"This..."

Zhou Zheng stared at the lines of text, momentarily stunned.

He was not surprised by the Time-Space Points awarded for completing the mission and killing other Transcendentals, but comprehending new Mysteries and breaking through realms could also earn Time-Space Points?

And the rewards were not small, either!

For the basic reward of this mission, he had only received 250 Time-Space Points. Yet comprehending the Mystery of Time and reaching the Second Level of the Myriad Realms had earned him a full 1,000 points.

That was absurd.

After being startled for a moment, Zhou Zheng looked further down.

Below were two options: "Private Space" and "Marketplace"!

The Marketplace was easy enough to understand. It was probably a place to purchase resources with Time-Space Points, so Zhou Zheng chose "Private Space."

As information flowed into him, Zhou Zheng immediately understood.

This so-called "Private Space" was a function that allowed him to freely alter the space he was in according to his wishes. He could reshape the scenery within it, expand its size, and even alter the flow of time.

For example, Zhou Zheng could transform this space, which was originally only a dozen or so zhang wide, into a mountain forest, one no different from a naturally formed forest.

Zhou Zheng could also fill that forest with life, even with servants.

However, all of this rested upon one condition: Time-Space Points.

If he had enough Time-Space Points, he could remodel it however he wished. If he did not, then he had better obediently remain in that cramped little space.

It really takes Time-Space Points for everything! Zhou Zheng thought as his consciousness withdrew from the pattern.

At that moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

"Xia Transcendental Zhou Zheng, in light of the talent and potential you have now displayed, from this day forward, you shall be a Bronze Token Divine Envoy of my Temporal Temple. I hope you will continue to strive!"

The voice came swiftly and vanished just as swiftly. After leaving those words behind, it disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Zheng was also slightly astonished.

"Bronze Token Divine Envoy?"

That voice had clearly been far more vast and majestic. It was utterly incomparable to the voice of Consciousness No. 3327, which had previously answered his many questions.

"That was my primary consciousness!" the familiar voice sounded. "Congratulations on becoming a Bronze Token Divine Envoy!"

"Is there anything special about this Bronze Token Divine Envoy?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"Of course it's special!"

That voice sounded again and began explaining it to Zhou Zheng.
