The Immortals

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Huh, a story quest has been activated." He recalled for a moment and finally remembered that when he created his character, there was a character background setting. He chose a Water Elemental Prince as his character background and seemed to have mentioned having a grudge against Ragnaros.

He originally just wanted a high-ranking Water Elemental title to make things easier in the Water Elemental Plane, but unexpectedly, his character's background triggered a story quest, which was a pleasant surprise. What kind of rewards would he get if he completed this kind of story quest?

Thinking to himself, Xiao Yu hurriedly opened the quest log. For a BOSS template like him, a story character, it is generally difficult to receive quests, because receiving a quest means that it must be a story quest, which means that it will leave a record in the game's storyline. It is not like adventurers, where hundreds or thousands of people do the same quest, and once a quest is completed, it is gone.

For example, if he completes this quest of Road of Vengeance and kills Ragnaros, then Ragnaros will really be dead. So it's not easy to trigger this kind of story quest.

However, triggering this kind of story quest also means that you can get a lot of help from it. For example, you can ask Neptulon for some troops. Without this quest, Neptulon probably wouldn't even give him a second glance, but with this quest, it's different. It means that you are a very important character in the story, Neptulon will probably have to give you face.

[Road of Vengeance]: Your grudge against Ragnaros drives you to seek revenge against him and his minions. For each powerful elemental creature under Ragnaros's command you slay, you will gain additional reputation points and increase your influence in the Water Elemental Plane.

Killing Ragnaros will grant you the title of "Child of the Plane" and automatically inherit the Water Elemental Lord template. If you already possess the Water Elemental Lord template, your template level will automatically increase by one tier.

Okay, the reward is tempting, but the quest is tough. If I could kill Ragnaros, I'd probably be a skeleton-level character by then. Even if I were to advance another rank, it wouldn't seem to make much difference. Looks like I'll just have to wait and see for now.

Closing the taskbar, Xiao Yu was finally saying goodbye to Esmehalda. However, before leaving, he didn't forget to add Esmehalda as a friend. Initially, he thought the girl's performance was a bit inexperienced, so he only considered her a temporary contractor. But after today's events, Xiao Yu realized that this girl was quite capable. With proper training in time, she might very well grow into a famous hero. So, he decided to add her as a friend for easier communication in the future.

Back in the Water Elemental Plane, Xiao Yu checked his level. He was now level seventeen. Although only a day had passed, the experience points from the battles between the Alliance and the Horde were quite substantial, almost as much as he had gained from killing monsters and leveling up in the Water Elemental Plane.

Not only that, his reputation points are also approaching 1000, just two-thirds away from advancing to the advanced BOSS template. Considering that his new character has only been created for less than three days and he has already achieved such results, his gaming journey has really been quite smooth this time.

"Then let's continue leveling up," Xiao Yu thought to himself as he continued to kill monsters.

While killing monsters, he continued to select summoning information that caught his eye, responding to the summons from time to time to show his face on the Prime Material Plane. Although he had suffered two setbacks yesterday, summoning creatures is something that can't be avoided. How can it be called a summoning creature template if it doesn't respond to summons? Anyway, he wasn't afraid of dying. Even if he could earn reputation points once out of three times, it wouldn't be a loss. It all depended on luck.

However, his luck didn't seem to be very good. He was first summoned to an arena by a Tauren priest to fight against the Alliance. Although he won several matches, he only gained a pitiful few experience points and a piece of Frost Ore.

Then he was summoned to a battlefield between the Alliance and the Horde. This time, he joined the Horde. He wanted to be arrogant again and make a fortune in reputation, but he didn't expect this battlefield to be a high-level battlefield. He was surrounded by high-level adventurers of level 40 or 50. He was using projection mode, so he couldn't show his true strength. He was killed after only a few moves and sent back to the Elemental Plane.

The third time was even more unlucky. This time, he was summoned into a dungeon by a boss. The boss was a mage-type boss, currently fighting a group of players and seemingly on the verge of death. He was probably summoned to use it as a powerful attack. This time, Xiao Yu used his Descent mode and acted extremely arrogantly, charging into the player group with his Biting Wind Protection, behaving arrogantly and recklessly. Elemental Arrow killed several players, and just when he thought he could wipe out the adventurers single-handedly, the mage boss died first. As a result, with the dungeon boss dead, he was automatically sent back to the Water Elemental Plane, much to his frustration.

On the fourth attempt, Xiao Yu finally had some good luck. This time, he was summoned by a hero-template archmage, whom Xiao Yu guessed was a player. This archmage was leading a large group of adventurers to besiege a world boss—an adult blue dragon. Xiao Yu was honored to be the tank, enduring the blue dragon's frost breath and exchanging fire with it for more than ten minutes. In the end, he helped the adventurers defeat the boss. Xiao Yu also gained more than 100 reputation points, a lot of experience, and a piece of Frost Ore, which was a small but rewarding gain.

When he returned to the Elemental Plane, it was already the evening of the following day.

After two days of responding to summons and leveling up by killing monsters, he finally reached level 20.

[System notification: You have acquired a new skill. Please configure it in your skill interface.]

[System notification: You have reached level 20. The template meets the requirements. The boss Domination System is now unlocked. From now on, you can establish your own monster faction and recruit monsters to join your faction. You can set the name and specific settings of the faction you want to create in the boss Domination System.]

The first system notification was expected, but the second gave Xiao Yu a small surprise. It turned out that the boss Domination System could be unlocked at level 20?

He reached the intermediate BOSS template around level 40, which is when the boss Domination System was unlocked. However, he didn't expect that the boss Domination System would actually be available at level 20. In that case, it's really worth it for RMB players. If you can recruit minions to help you level up at level 20, then leveling up will be much easier.

However, he is now one of the RMB (real money) players himself.

Xiao Yu was quite familiar with the BOSS boss Domination System. He opened it with ease and directly chose to establish a monster force. He had already planned his development path and quickly set up the monster force he wanted to establish.

Monster Faction Name: [The Immortals]

[Monster Leader: Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince)]

[Monster Faction Level: 1 (Wild Faction)]

[Monster Faction Territory: None]

[Monster Faction Main City: None]

[Monster faction population: 5/100]

He had already decided on the name of this faction: [The Immortals]. Elemental creatures are the oldest known beings in the game, and many have existed since the beginning of the world. Therefore, "The Immortals" perfectly reflects their characteristics. Furthermore, this name wouldn't limit the faction to Water Elemental. After all, to become the strongest boss, being confined to the Water Elemental Plane wouldn't suffice; that would only make him a Neptulon at best. His goal was to rule the entire Elemental Plane, so the faction's name had to be inclusive.

Initially, he considered names like "Torrent Kingdom" or "Tide Empire," but after thinking about it, he realized that "The Immortals" best suited his ambitions and had a higher level of prestige. Later, when his power was sufficient, he would recruit more powerful elemental beings as his subordinates and form the Immortals Council to assist him in ruling the entire Elemental Plane. Just thinking about it made him feel excited.

However, so far, he is the only one in this organization of the Immortals.

If he really wanted to recruit followers, he could find plenty. Along his journey of killing monsters and leveling up, he encountered many players with the Water Elemental template. Seeing how efficiently he was killing monsters and leveling up, there were countless people who wanted to be his follower. However, Xiao Yu was not the kind of person who would take on just anyone. Players playing as monsters were fine when they were on the normal monster template, but once they advanced to rare elites, they became extremely afraid of dying and were not easy to command. Therefore, when he was playing as the Flame Demon Lord, he only took on one or two followers.

This time, he still adhered to the principle of "better to have none than something bad," so when faced with hordes of Water Elemental trying to curry favor with him, he displayed the dull demeanor of an NPC, thus avoiding a lot of trouble. It was precisely because of this that he remained alone for the time being.

Next, he opened the skill bar. As a BOSS, he was still lacking an area-of-effect attack skill that could take down a large group of enemies. He was determined to get one this time so that he would be imposing enough when facing hordes of enemies in the future.
