After the emperor left, Lin Feng felt a certain thought stirring in his heart.
Times have changed; without us even realizing it, times have already changed.
The internet age, the multimedia age, the AI age—but these don't seem to be the major shifts in the era. The real major shifts will fundamentally change people's perceptions and bring about essential differences...
But some things, which should be clearer now that times have changed, have become even more blurred for people.
"Huh? What's wrong? You seem to have been through something." Si Zang keenly noticed Lin Feng's change, and at the same time looked around and saw that only the few of them were left, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Nothing," Lin Feng shrugged. "I just thought of some issues."
Seeing that Lin Feng did not elaborate, Si Zang did not press further. It wasn't until a flying shuttle flew in from the horizon and delivered the modified weapon that their mission countdown finally came to an end.
"Mission accomplished."
"Task 1: Survive for 20 days and obtain at least 1000 Nightmare Points before the mission ends. (Completed)"
"Mission Two: Annihilate the Godless Palace. (Completed)"
"Mission Three: Annihilate Tianmen. (Completed)"
"Task Four: Change Duanlang. The final reward will be increased based on the degree of change (80% change)."
"The reward for completing the mission is 1000 Nightmare Points + 4000 * (180%) = 8440."
With Emperor Shitian dead and the members of the Heavenly Gate eliminated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the mission was completed.
Until they return to their personal space.
The four of them had just sat down when they received an application message.
"Number 7866, Number, Number applying to enter personal space."
"Huh? Did we give them the identification number?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.
"Ahem, they have my number..." Si Zang coughed.
Lin Feng stood up again, looked at the others for their opinions, opened the door, and welcomed the three of them in.
As soon as the portal opened, Sun He reached out his hand and walked towards Lin Feng in a way that was both ancient and modern: "Long time no see, how have you been?"
Lin Feng said awkwardly, "Uh...it's only been a few hours."
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. After all, the last mission was against half an enemy." Sun He hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting, and took out four jade talismans, handing them to the group: "I apologize for any offense, this is just a small token of my respect."
"Heavenly Origin Jade"
"These four jade talismans contain a wisp of innate precious energy, which can nourish weapons..."
Before he could finish speaking, Si Zang immediately took a piece of precious jade and snorted a few times: "Oh, so generous. Then I must be being petty."
As Baoyu passed his hand, a wisp of energy immediately wrapped around Sizang's arm, resonating with the innate Qi contained within his body.
"The treasure's energy can nurture weapons and improve their quality. If it's a weapon of the acquired supreme treasure level, it can also be improved by a certain degree." Seeing that everyone had accepted it, Sun He finished saying what he had just wanted to say.
It seems the other party knows the Great Ming Dynasty very well... Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the weapon he had obtained before.
Having received the precious jade, the previous estrangement was completely erased, and Sun He finally spoke, "We have come here today to sign a cooperation agreement with you."
"A team of seven?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Won't this increase the risk?"
"Haha, there's not much difference between a team of seven and one with 20 participants. Besides... for us, Nightmare Points are far less important than the Path to Enlightenment!" Sun He laughed. "I already have 200,000 points in my hands, Si Tao's Blood Sea has been infused with Pangu's essence blood, and Wen Chen's sword has reached the level of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. These improvements in our foundations are ultimately not enough to truly help us achieve what we want."
"Pangu's essence blood?" Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. A drop the size of a fingertip was worth 50,000 Nightmare Points in the workshop area: "Pangu's essence blood can't improve the participants' strength either?"
“Yes, of course it is possible. After all, Pangu’s body is the greatest in the world. But even Pangu died. Can obtaining Pangu’s blood essence really make one immortal?” Sun He shook his head and said, “The creator gods of all mythologies have their end. Some people have exchanged for the bloodline of the Titan ancestral god, and there are even participants who have seized the authority of God. If they can do it, the Nightmare Space can do it too. Among the craftsmen in the workshop area and those related to the prehistoric world, almost everyone is a Pangu Titan body!”
"Wow, that's the Pangu Body! It's a top-tier existence obtained through bloodline exchange. Is it really that easy?" Si Zang couldn't help but exclaim, "It can break through primordial-level space with ease without needing any magic power."
“If you can achieve the perfection of your path, you will not need the Pangu Body to break through the primordial space.” Sun He said patiently, “Whether you learn the Dao of the primordial world and break through it with the power of the laws of the world, or you break through it with the methods of another world, as long as you do it, the Pangu Body will just be icing on the cake for you.”
Si Zang hesitated and said, "Although what you said makes some sense, I just feel that Pangu is invincible."
"The Nightmare Space's rating isn't based on the level of treasures or bloodlines. Your way of improving yourself is no different from blindly building skyscrapers," Sun He continued. "As long as your own strength is sufficient, even the Great Dao will bow down to you!"
Lin Feng then said, "Moreover, there are also evil paths, extraterrestrial paths, and demonic paths in this world. The Pangu and the Great Dao that we see and think about are just the strongest things in our understanding."
“Hahaha, that’s right. In this vast world, isn’t there a completely chaotic kingdom?” Sun He laughed. “I’ve seen quite a few strange Heavenly Paths, such as the Ghost Buddha Tathagata, the Demon Jehovah, the Jade Emperor Cthulhu, and the bizarre Journey to the West. There are many.”
"Uh... Weird Journey to the West, Cthulhu Jade Emperor... Teaming up with you, are we really going to enter such a world?" Si Zang couldn't help but let out a cold breath from behind: "This humble Taoist only wants to make a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace with Sun Wukong, not to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh with Sun Wukong."
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, it seems we need to team up." Sun He said, pointing to Lin Feng's hand that had already caught the contract. Just as they were about to sign it, Si Zang couldn't help but plop down on the chair that appeared behind him.
Lin Feng suddenly asked, "Have you obtained the qualification of a good grade at the prefectural level?"
“We all achieved it.” Sun He nodded, “but since the path forward is unclear, none of us have been willing to upgrade our rating.”
"Tell me about it." Lin Feng signed the contract.
Sun He decisively said, "The Yin-Yang Dao that I cultivate can destroy all things in the world and divide earth, wind, water, and fire. But this is ultimately the Yin-Yang Dao. The Yin-Yang Dao is already evident in the world, neither too much nor too little, neither too high nor too low. Whether I comprehend it or not, it exists. It cannot be considered my Dao."
Si Tao also said, "This Venerable One... cough cough, I, um, I cultivate the Blood Sea Dao, from gathering the filth of the world to refining the essence blood, the more the stronger, but no matter how strong the filth is, it is still the filth that has existed in heaven and earth for a long time. Refining is only strengthening external things, and cannot reflect the Dao in my heart."
Finally, Wen Chen said, "I cultivated the War God Record, which records the purest Dao of Heaven and Earth. It can generate life endlessly and can shatter Heaven and Earth. However, this Dao already exists in the world. I merely used it to shatter Heaven and Earth. The Dao has nothing to do with me."
