Main Quest: Secret Trial
Mission requirements: Enter the Fangcun Secret Realm, defeat no less than five God-Refining Realm prodigies in the Secret Realm Trial, and win the final victory in the Secret Realm Trial. (No less than ten families must enter the Secret Realm to compete for the Didongtian Blessed Land, and at least three Dongtian Holy Lands must be involved.)
Mission Reward: Humane Luck
This is the main quest that Shen Yuan triggered before, and it is also the reason why Shen Yuan took so much trouble to create the Fangcun Secret Realm.
As early as when Shen Yuan was the last one to leave the Fangcun Secret Realm and the entrance to the secret realm began to close, the main quest, the Secret Realm Trial, had already entered the settlement process.
However, due to Shen Yuan's deliberate planning, the difficulty of the mission increased. In addition, he encountered a dangerous situation as soon as he came out because of the attack from the City God. Therefore, Shen Yuan did not calm down and carefully check the information in detail.
It was not until Emperor Xia mentioned it that Shen Yuan remembered this main quest reward.
Looking through the mission records, the entire mission has undergone earth-shaking changes since Shen Yuan completed the trial in the Fangcun Secret Realm.
System: After testing, the host's trial secret realm is far superior to ordinary small worlds, and the mission has been upgraded.
After testing, it was found that the sects participating in the Fangcun Secret Realm Trial included eight sacred caves, thirty caves, and fifty-six blessed lands. Their specifications far exceeded those of the Secret Realm Trial, and the mission was upgraded.
After testing, it was found that there were 16 soul-refining masters, one great immortal, one netherworld deity, and one golden immortal projection among the participants. The difficulty of the secret realm trial increased dramatically, and the mission was upgraded.
After testing, it was found that the true meaning of the origin of the Great Dao remained in the secret realm trial, turning into a natural disaster of Dao Mark, whose status far exceeded that of the lower realm, and the mission was upgraded.
After a series of complex gibberish, the regained stability of the system finally gave the final settlement.
System: This secret realm trial was judged as an experience for all realms. The host won the first place as the disciple and ancestor of Luoyun Sect. He made a great contribution to promoting the name of Luoyun Sect, making the name of Luoyun Sect spread throughout the heavens.
Mission reward: Humanitarian trend!
This is the final reward for Shen Yuan's main mission, the humanitarian trend controlled by the Human Emperor.
According to Shen Yuan's guess, the humanitarian luck originally rewarded by the mission should be equivalent to the situation where important officials of the dynasty are favored by humanitarian luck.
Such rewards are also in line with the difficulty of the secret realm trial under normal circumstances. For practitioners, being favored by humanity will indeed bring many conveniences.
But after Shen Yuan's efforts, coupled with the active interference of Bai Yun, the present-day Golden Immortal, the reward was directly upgraded from the original favor of humanity's fortune to the general trend of humanity.
"Isn't this a direct way to achieve a different kind of human emperor?"
After learning about the importance of humanity from Emperor Xia and considering the mission reward in front of him, Shen Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
He really didn't expect that the system would drop such a bombshell. The significance of being able to manipulate the destiny of humanity was almost equivalent to half the throne of the Human Emperor.
The essence of the general trend of humanity should be the authority to manipulate the destiny of humanity, which is also the foundation of the Human Emperor.
Even though the position of the Human Emperor is no longer as respected as it was in ancient times after the connection between heaven and earth was severed for ten thousand years, it is still enough to suppress heaven and earth, especially in the Xuanhuang Realm dominated by humanity.
As long as he is on the land of Jingzhou, Shen Yuan can manipulate the destiny of humanity to bless himself and control the imperial capital formation to suppress powerful enemies.
Even when the human world is in great power, Shen Yuan will be the master of humanity and have the opportunity to contact the outside of Xuanhuang Realm without suffering the backlash of the humanity's important weapon Jiuzhou Ding.
This is also the reason why Emperor Xia was able to trade with the Xuanhuang Realm but was not suppressed by the Jiuzhou Ding that protected the Xuanhuang Realm.
If it were someone else, the moment they communicated with those outside the Xuanhuang Realm, the Jiuzhou Ding would have fallen and killed them.
Such a huge surprise made Shen Yuan stunned for a while.
However, after the initial emotional fluctuations, Shen Yuan carefully considered and weighed the pros and cons, and realized that the general trend of humanity was not as extraordinary as he had imagined.
If one controls the general trend of humanity, the person who cannot be avoided is the contemporary Human Emperor.
If it were like ten thousand years ago, when the Human Emperor was still in his prime, with the blessing of his status as the Human Emperor and the suppression of the dynasty's fortune, even if Shen Yuan possessed the power of humanity, he would not be able to compete with the Human Emperor for control of humanity's destiny.
In that situation, the humanitarian trend could not play any role at all, and in the end, they could only secretly mobilize part of the humanitarian luck to avoid being suppressed by the dynasty's army and formations. It could only be said that it was better than nothing.
For Shen Yuan at the moment, his greatest advantage is not the humanitarian trend rewarded by the system, but his own ability to influence the trend.
The combined effect of the two far exceeds that of Emperor Xia, an emperor with an incomplete status.
After calming down his emotional fluctuations, Shen Yuan accepted the mission reward under Emperor Xia's disdainful gaze.
As an invisible wave spread from the depths of his true spirit, Shen Yuan suddenly discovered that the world before him seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
As far as the eye can see, there is no longer only the present world, but a golden sea of human destiny.
The humanitarian destiny of the entire Daxia gathered in the sky above the imperial capital, and its mighty power covered the sky and the sun.
And in this vast sea of luck, there are two slightly larger phantoms connecting the sea of luck, occupying a part of the luck of humanity.
One of them was burning like a flame, and the luck of humanity was constantly gathering around her. There was a faint momentum of a soaring dragon. There was no doubt that it was Xia Yunqiu.
The other one was dark in color, like a broken jar, with the destiny of humanity constantly flowing out of the jar to the outside world. It was naturally Emperor Xia who was disqualified as the emperor of mankind.
In addition to the loss of human luck, Shen Yuan also keenly sensed a strange aura from Emperor Xia.
This strange aura showed no signs of spreading, but was firmly entangled in the depths of Emperor Xia's soul. The no longer pure soul of the Human Emperor was hated by the destiny of humanity.
At this moment, Shen Yuan finally understood why Emperor Xia had been unable to fully control the destiny of humanity from the very beginning, and allowed Xia Yunqiu to continue to grow stronger.
“It turns out that Emperor Xia had long been contaminated by the strange aura during his exchanges with the Twilight Realm, and was rejected by the destiny of humanity and could no longer fully control the situation.
It may be because Emperor Xia lost control of the power of the emperor that he became more determined to establish the incense domain. "
With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan slowly stretched out his right hand.
The next moment, under the contemptuous eyes of Emperor Xia, a huge amount of humanitarian luck in the entire imperial capital frantically gathered towards Shen Yuan.
Xia Di's originally disdainful look instantly turned into horror, and he looked at Shen Yuan in front of him in disbelief.
He couldn't understand and couldn't believe that a mere earthly immortal could actually control the destiny of humanity in the imperial capital beyond his control.
Even the emperors and gods in the upper realms cannot do this.
What's more, he could clearly sense that the humanitarian destiny controlled by Shen Yuan was far beyond his scope, and even in his prime he might not be able to match Shen Yuan.
But in his sight, Shen Yuan did not have the title of Emperor.
Before Emperor Xia could figure out the reason, Shen Yuan had already slowly extended his right hand towards the direction of the incense and fire realm.
The vast destiny of humanity gathered in the incense and fire domain, and the temple that had been on the verge of collapse after being washed away by the strange force suddenly stabilized again.
The humanitarian luck, which was dozens of times more powerful than before, kept the City God Temple from being polluted, and even began to advance towards the outside world with the City God Temple as the boundary.
The luck of humanity has an extremely strong restraining effect on the strange aura. With Shen Yuan's unconditional supply, the luck of humanity began to counterattack the strange aura in the incense and fire domain.
The polluted incense and vows were easily cleaned up by the destiny of humanity, turning into a huge cage that trapped the remaining strange aura.
Although the dim yellow sun was strange, the twisted shadow behind it was even more powerful.
But after all, there is a world between them, and there is also the suppression of Jiuzhou Dingjue Tiandi Tong. How can a mere strange aura compare with the majestic destiny of humanity nurtured in one world?
Looking at the changing situation in the incense domain, Emperor Xia could not help but question angrily:
"What on earth did you do?"
"Why are you able to control the destiny of humanity?"
As he spoke, Emperor Xia suddenly thought of something and looked at Xia Yunqiu below him. Then, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. "It must be that rebellious girl! You used that rebellious girl to steal the great trend of humanity, so that you can control this vast destiny of humanity!"
Xia Yunqiu frowned slightly under the altar. She would naturally not be provoked by Emperor Xia's words and would not be dissatisfied with Shen Yuan.
In Xia Yunqiu's eyes, it was Shen Yuan who gave her a new life and saved everything. Even if Shen Yuan really stole the destiny of humanity from her, she would think it was justified.
But what Emperor Xia said now was an unfounded slander against Shen Yuan, which was unacceptable to Xia Yunqiu.
"What nonsense!"
"It is obvious that you have lost your qualifications as the Human Emperor and have long been unable to control the destiny of humanity. Your Excellency Daozi has followed the will of heaven and saved Daxia from danger, so you are naturally qualified to control the general trend of humanity.
On the contrary, it is you who disregarded Daxia for your own selfish desires that are unworthy of controlling the general trend of humanity!"
Xia Yunqiu's words immediately resonated with all the civil and military officials.
Although some old stubborn people believe that the Supreme Taoist's control over the human trend will have a negative impact on Daxia, the current situation obviously makes it impossible to care so much.
If there were no Supreme Daoist, the plan of the Dusk Realm alone would be enough to turn Daxia upside down.
Everyone saw what the Supreme Taoist did, and with the almost-appointed future Emperor of Mankind personally supporting him, all the civil and military officials naturally supported him.
"Your Excellency the Supreme Daoist has a noble character and has protected our Xuanhuang Realm from danger. Naturally, you are qualified to control the general trend of humanity."
"Even before you came to the imperial capital, Your Excellency the Supreme Daoist had quelled chaos several times, so we naturally believe in him."
“If there hadn’t been the Supreme Daoist, the imperial capital would have fallen long ago.
Apart from the Supreme Daoist Son, is there anyone else in the world who is qualified to take charge of the human trend?"
"I agree too!"
As the voices of civil and military officials responded, Shen Yuan suddenly felt that his own humanitarian momentum seemed to be gradually growing.
The support from the civil and military officials of the Humanitarian Dynasty can actually influence the general trend of humanity, and the humanitarian fortune mobilized is increasing.
At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly realized that he had underestimated the trend of humanity.
This is not just a simple authority, but also a manifestation of control over humanity.
Emperor Xia, who was standing aside, had a ferocious look on his face and tried to say something, but was knocked unconscious by a slap from Shen Yuan, and was thrown off the altar.
After he gained control of the human trend, Emperor Xia has completely lost his value. All the civil and military officials in the court and Xia Yunqiu will give this Human Emperor who betrayed the Xuanhuang Realm the due ending.
Right now, Shen Yuan’s more important task is to deal with the incense and fire domain.
Hao **'s humanitarian destiny has completely suppressed the strange aura. Wherever the destiny reaches, even the sunlight in the incense domain seems to be purified, and no longer presents the color of dusk like the end of the world.
In the dim sun, the distorted shadows that focused the line of sight could no longer show their previous detached attitude.
The restraint of humanity means that the strange auras that have descended are no longer able to spread pollution.
Just as the destiny of humanity gradually spread to the dim sun, the twisted shadow finally changed again.
"roar!"
The angry roar crossed the boundary between reality and illusion, descended from the dim sun to the incense-burning realm, and set off waves in the destiny of humanity.
Then the shadow in the sunset sun actually began to dissipate, and was replaced by a huge crack that ran through the entire sunset sun.
Then the crack slowly expanded, and everyone who was watching the Incense Realm saw an extremely horrifying scene.
The huge sunset sun hanging high above the incense-burning realm actually turned into a huge yellow eye.
"Eyes of Dusk!"
Shen Yuan was startled and subconsciously couldn't help but explore the space in his sleeves.
There, there is an eye of dusk that is almost identical to the one in the incense realm.
And within the incense realm, as the Eyes of Dusk appeared, the dim sunlight seemed to have turned into its sight.
The strange aura that had been suppressed in the entire incense domain surged again. Under the gaze of those turbid yellow eyes, the remaining polluted incense power combined with the strange aura and began to transform into twisted and wriggling strange creatures.
Most of these creatures maintain human form, wearing gorgeous clothes and holding tablets.
If we ignore the hollow and twisted shadows beneath the clothes, the strange creature is more like the image of the city god and ghosts in the legend.
As strange creatures appeared, more incense and vows began to gather towards them, using the incense and vows to fight against the vast amount of humanitarian luck.
The originally restrained humanitarian destiny actually felt a little stagnant when faced with the power of incense and vows.
Below the high altar, the unconscious Emperor Xia suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the Eyes of Dusk in the incense and fire realm, and a crazy smile suddenly appeared on his ferocious face.
"** Lord God! Lord God's will comes to Xuanhuang Realm in person. I will die, and you will all die. No one is an exception!"
"Shut up!"
Emperor Xia ignored it and continued laughing crazily, his eyes filled with unspeakable joy.
Shen Yuan looked calm. The appearance of the Eyes of Dusk had indeed exceeded his expectations, but he was not without a way to deal with it.
Then Shen Yuan's gaze fell on a corner of the imperial capital, and he said helplessly:
"It seems that you have to take action."
The next moment, the dusty door of the underworld mansion burst open, and a monk wearing a golden and red robe and holding an eighteen-story pagoda in his hands strode out of the mansion.
Many patrolling soldiers outside the mansion raised their weapons and stared solemnly at the monk who suddenly appeared before them.
After the Fang Cun Secret Realm was opened, there should have been only a few ghosts and gods left in the underworld residence, and the monk who suddenly appeared in front of him was obviously not among them.
A lieutenant took the initiative to ask:
"Who are you?"
"Ksitigarbha!"
