"What did you detect?" Ian asked as soon as he was teleported home.
"Void Energy," Morgana replied. "It has extremely high control over the space-time characteristics of Void Energy."
"How advanced is it compared to us?"
"Let's put it this way: The little bit of information I just collected is enough for me to increase the progress of the Void Gate plan from 30% to 50%."
"Is the gap so big?" His eyes lit up. If he can complete Void Gate, it means that he can bypass the dangerous voyage in Void. As long as he has the coordinates, he can directly open a portal to the world of his choice. Ian wants to get this Divine Artifact, but if he can only use it to complete that project, he can accept it.
"The good news is that its use of energy is quite rigid, which may be further evidence that this Divine Artifact is running at minimum power."
Ian nodded. "Have you detected the monitoring system they deployed on the earth?"
"Not yet," Morgana replied. "I need you to launch the satellite, and then I will take over control."
Ian activated the watch and put on the battle armor. 'Sure enough, the energy output was limited to the Tier 3.' Ian raised his hand and condensed a silver metal ball. The micro-satellite entered Chameleon Mode and then flew into the earth's atmosphere. After establishing Artificial Speed Force, Morgana's core has essentially reached Tier 11, making her perception even sharper than Ian's.
"Wow, there are so many people secretly monitoring this asteroid," she muttered. Whether out of a sense of duty and protectiveness, or simply to keep an eye on the Samsara Hall's main base of operations, it's in Reincarnators's best interest to keep a close eye on Earth.
"Pay attention."
"I'm very focused," Morgana pouted. "Found it. It uses something similar to Causality Network to monitor the Earth and the entire universe. However, Earth is the main focus. This network is able to detect things people do and activate Samsara Hall's power. It is also used to detect when people meet certain conditions and then recruit them.
"Tsk, you're lucky, you used Causality Spell to forge your identity; otherwise, you would have been discovered long ago."
"You often laugh at me for being paranoid, but paranoia can often save lives," Ian sneered. "Okay, show me that network." An image was projected into his mind. This Causality Network reminded him of the Magic Network from his hometown - a conceptual construct intertwined with reality.
Ian observed it and found that the most densely distributed network was in Solar System, followed by the earth. An idea flashed through him, and he zoomed in on the image of the earth, focusing on the countries with the densest network distribution. As expected, Panda ranked first, followed by America. He tried to zoom in further, but failed.
"Could your perception be more refined?"
"I can probably only observe the provincial level, and the alarm may be triggered further down."
"Do it," Ian ordered. After a few minutes, Ian saw the area with the most tight network control or observation. The densest area covered parts of Jizhou and Tianjing, and Ian knew that was where the capital was. The second densest area was at Reinspection Province.
'Got you,' Ian sneered. The Beijing area should be where Purple-robed Daoist hides his identity, and the re-inspection should be where his family lives. The first duty of this Divine Artifact is to save the life of its future owner, which is why the capital is the most closely monitored. At the same time, Purple-robed Daoist presumably asked Divine Artifact to protect his parents from the chaos brought about by Reincarnators.
'If I go to Beijing, I might be able to lure him out or deduce his identity,' Ian thought. However, now is not the time.
"Morgana, can you make a loophole in the monitoring system?" Ian asked.
"Let me do the math... we need to find the core of Causality Network."
"Can you do it?"
"No, your armor must reach at least Tier 6."
"I understand," Ian nodded. In order for his plan to succeed, he needs a way to operate under the surveillance of the Samsara Hall, and the best way is to create a loophole. However, this is currently beyond his ability. "We will continue this topic after the armor is upgraded. I need you to help me find the assassin who killed me."
"Please wait... he's on Mars."
"Why did he get there?"
"It seems that he ascended to Tier 4 and refused to seal his power. Solar System There are secret colonies on most planets for Reincarnators below Tier 6."
"Send 10 Doom Bots to kill him. Be quiet."
"If I were you, I wouldn't do this," Morgana said. "Each colony is managed by a group of Tier 6's Reincarnators, and according to the intelligence I collected, there may be more powerful people behind them. I'm sure the robots can take him out silently, but you haven't created any Anti-Divination or other form of anti-tracking means yet, so it would be unwise to poke this hornet's nest now."
"Okay, let him live a little longer," Ian muttered to himself. He spent the remaining time preparing for the upcoming promotion mission. A few days later, he was teleported to the Samsara Hall.
[Reincarnators, are you ready to accept the lieutenant promotion mission? Yes/No. Reminder: The promotion mission is a single-player mission.]
"I'm ready."
A ray of white light enveloped him, and when Ian opened his eyes, he found himself in a place similar to a ruined cathedral. Not far from him lay a woman covered in blood, wearing medieval clothes and a hood on her head. Before he could fully analyze the situation, his watch updated.

"What the hell?" Ian cursed. He didn't know what "Elden Ring+" was, but after seeing the difficulty level, he wanted to curse. The difficulty of the Samsara Hall's tasks were: easy, normal, medium, hard, extreme, narrow escape, Hell, nightmare, miracle and impossible. So, how can a task from Tier 4 jump to Nightmare Level?
The second thing Ian noticed was that all the side missions added up to five hundred thousand points. This mission seemed very generous, but it only made Ian suspicious. Finally, there was a piece of identity information included directly in the update. When he looked at the perfect mission, he became interested. If he can complete it perfectly, one million points will be enough for him to skip Tier 5 and go directly to Tier 6.
"Let me see what good things this world has," Ian muttered to himself and clicked the plus sign. A lot of information was stuffed into his mind. After he digested the information, he only had one thought in his mind: What a fucking world... What a fucking perfect mission.
'I think you may have to give up the perfect mission this time,' Morgana said to him.
