Chapter 530: Chapter 286: The Impossible Task
[Congratulations, you have come into contact with the selection of the National Master of the Daxuan Kingdom, triggering a Mainline Task, please go to the Task Panel for more details.]
Relying on foreknowledge to trigger the mainline, this was the second time it happened; the first time was back in Sky Wolf Valley.
Expectation in Su Nan’s eyes, he immediately opens the Task Panel.
[Mainline Task: Path of the National Master]
[Since you killed the National Master of Daxuan Kingdom, the Royal Family of Daxuan is forced to choose a new National Master from among the Five Princes. With your ability to change into the appearance of anyone, you see an opportunity to impersonate a prince of Daxuan Kingdom and seize the position of National Master.]
[However, achieving this is not easy. You have to undergo multiple tests to fulfill the requirements; the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.]
[Task Phase 1: Pass the screening and gain the qualifications to become the
Master of Daxuan Kingdom.]
[Task Difficulty: Three-star]
[Task Reward: Xuan-Level Monster Scripture, Xuan-Level Bloodline, 45
Demon Power Points]
[Task Countdown: 12 Hours]
“Let me pretend to be the prince of Daxuan Kingdom and seize the position of the National Master. This task is great!”
Su Nan shows a smile of delight.
Fulfilling his thoughts.
He just wondered if he could impersonate the Fourth Prince and pass the Great Temple’s test to obtain the position of National Master; now he has this mainline task. This is simply a gift for him.
After all, even without this task, he would try to do so anyway.
Looking at the task again, Su Nan suddenly notices something odd and frowns.
“Strange, why is the first phase of this task only a three-star rating?
The first phase of the task requires him to pass the screening process and gain the qualifications to become the National Master of Daxuan Kingdom, which clearly isn’t as simple as turning into one of the princes.
Since it’s a screening, it’s most likely that he needs to pass the test of the Great Temple.
But the problem is, from what he’s seen, the Great Temple is extremely dangerous.
He has foreseen his death several times, mainly due to the presence of what is suspected to be an Offering God Demon in the Great Temple.
In his past foreknowledge, he was mysteriously killed, not even knowing how he died.
In his opinion, this task could’ve been a four-star rating!
“Could it be that I’m overthinking it? Is the task actually simple?”
He looks to foresee and starts again.
This time, he wants to know why he will be killed.
As before, the three foreseeing opportunities are consumed.
[As the main gate of the Great Temple closes, the temple falls into silence. You and the other four princes look at each other, but no one speaks first.]
[You know that there may be an Emperor-level Offering God Demon in the temple, so you are cautious and carefully observe everything around you.]
[A minute later, nothing unusual has happened in the temple.]
[Two minutes later, nothing has happened in the temple.]
[Three minutes later, you’re dead.]
“It’s the same again!”
“Where is the test?”
Su Nan frowns slightly as he is inexplicably killed again, even the foreseeing didn’t give him a hint, leaving him clueless about where to start.
“If the Offering God Demon controls the Power of Divine Soul, can raising my Divine Soul’s power to its strongest state reveal something?”
He starts the foreseeing again.
[One minute later, nothing unusual has happened in the temple.]
[Two minutes later, knowing that danger is imminent, you decisively use your Racial Talent Starlight Netherworld Body, channeling the Power of Primordial Qi and Essence Energy into your Power of Divine Soul. At the same time, you burn the incense fire aspiration force, causing your Power of Divine Soul to surge.]
[The mighty Power of Divine Soul gives you the confidence to confront the unknown threat, as you carefully watch and prepare to act at any moment.]
[Three minutes later, you’re dead.]
“I’m dead again!”
Su Nan looks annoyed, not understanding where the problem lies.
“Without going in, I was killed, which means my Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations should be fine. The Offering God Demon shouldn t easily see through my disguise, or else I would have died the moment I stepped into the Great Temple.”.
“If my identity isn’t an issue, then what could be the problem?”
Su Nan racks his brains in contemplation.
Every time he enters the Great Temple, he dies within three minutes, not even knowing what the test is.
“First, figure out what the test is!”
He starts the foreseeing again.
This time, Su Nan changes his approach.
He doesn’t obtain the essence and blood from the Fourth Prince or enter the Great Temple. Instead, he calculates the time, waits until the Five Princes enter the Great Temple, and uses the mark on the guard to enter the palace three minutes later.
Afterward, he uses the Across the Heavens Shift to enter the Great Temple.
He wants to see what tests the other princes will face.
[You successfully enter the Great Temple with the Across the Heavens Shift. Your sudden arrival is instantly noticed by the beings in the temple.]
[You are dead.]
[Just before dying, you see that the Five Princes wear expressionless faces, sitting separately. Everyone’s eyes are closed, as if they are trapped in some kind of illusion.]
“Illusions, huh?”
Su Nan’s eyes flicker slightly as he isn’t too surprised.
Since there’s a powerful Offering God Demon in the Great Temple, there must be a Divine Dao Ritual Artifact and a Divine Soul space it can create.
It wouldn’t be surprising if entering the Great Temple puts one in an illusion, even if he was told that the entire palace was an illusion created by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, he would believe it.
He even thinks that the latter is more likely.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t die each time,
But what can he do with the knowledge of illusions alone?
The Offering God Demon is too strong; his previous full-power efforts of Divine Soul Power produced no effect.
Unless… he uses an avatar!
With this thought, Su Nan’s heart stirs with an idea.
