Chapter 1825 Main Quest Evaluation (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

[Main quest evaluation in progress...]

[Main Quest Rating: Legendary (9.5)]

Congratulations on completing the main quest!

[Your evaluation for other tasks will be processed shortly, please wait...]

The main score rose by 0.5, from 9 to 9.5.

The main quest this time is actually quite simple: 'Unravel the conspiracy behind the Illusory Heart'.

The Heart of Illusion is the Illusion Badge, an item formed after the 'Shepherd King's' talent sequence was sealed.

The conspiracy behind it is quite simple: the skeletal giant is trying to control the two talent sequences and bring the power of the underworld back into the dungeon world.

The entire mission involved almost no puzzle-solving process, because the Church of Death did not give Heo any time to solve the puzzles. The entire progress was pushed forward too quickly, and Heo had not fully figured out the problem before entering the final stage.

Therefore, He Ao could only keep guessing and verifying. Before he could even understand many of the mysteries, the answers would already appear before him.

Of course, this is not a good thing, as it leaves He Ao with almost no time to prepare, and most of the time he can only react to whatever comes his way.

If he were any weaker and hadn't accumulated the necessary skills, he probably would have died in the dungeon, with almost no chance of completing the mission.

The system upgrade did improve the basic rewards, but it also greatly increased the difficulty of the tasks.

This mission has almost no way to 'skip class', and there's no easy way to complete it.

After all, if the Skeleton Giant's plot is to be completely thwarted, then the Skeleton Giant must be killed.

Based on Heo's experience, Death will almost certainly save the Skeleton Giant.

Then we need to deal with Death.

The most likely and basic way He Ao could foresee to complete the mission was to find a way to destroy the 'Shepherd King's' talent sequence.

Sacrifice this talent sequence to a god in exchange for divine intervention, temporarily halting the skeletal giant's plot.

This should allow the mission to be completed, but the power of the underworld will still extend to the instance world, and the Grim Reaper's plan will still be accomplished.

Once Death's plan is complete, replacing 'K's' faith with His, the invisible substitution ritual will take effect, and Heo will be directly 'devoured' by Death.

So this escape route might allow him to skip class and complete the task, but for He Ao, it's also a dead end.

This time, exceeding the task target wasn't just about boosting the score; it was also about saving my life.

Of course, the ending is good.

As for the mission itself, all that was needed was to thwart the Skeleton Giant's plot. Not only did He Ao thwart the Skeleton Giant's plot, but he also cut off the power of Death, completely thwarting Death's plan to spread the power of the underworld back into the dungeon world.

As a result, they further controlled and created a new underworld, occupying its ecological niche.

While isolating the power of death, it ensured the existence of the underworld.

This time, it's almost certain that the mission was exceeded, and He Ao isn't worried at all about getting the legendary rating.

He was slightly surprised that the system gave him a score of 9.5.

But overall, this was not beyond his expectations.

However, the pace this time is indeed too fast, and it seems that some of the methods used to deal with the mission in the past are no longer applicable.

In future missions, there will likely be more of these 'unexpected situations'.

After all, those gods and angels wouldn't just wait patiently for Heo to solve all the clues and puzzles and make all the arrangements before starting their final scheme.

He Ao looked down at the new text in his field of vision.

[Settling your side quest evaluation...]

[Side Quest Rating: Legendary (9.5)]

The side quest ratings remained stable, which is good news in a way; He Ao had thought the ratings would drop.

After all, the task mode seems to have changed drastically since the system upgrade.

During this instance, He Ao has clearly realized this point.

Previously, He Ao was told that a bomb was about to explode, but He Ao had ample time to find the problem with the bomb and a way to defuse it.

They've told He Ao that a bomb is about to explode, and upon checking, they found a countdown: '10, 9, 8...'

Of course, the actual situation will be a bit more complicated, but time is still tight, which means that He Ao does not have as much time as before to make full plans.

The rating for side quests is related to the impact on hostile forces.

In this instance, there are two opposing forces. One side is led by the Church of Death, which aims to recreate the underworld.

On the other side are the financial groups, led by the Financial Group Alliance.

They reached a cooperation agreement with the Church of Death, with each party getting what they wanted.

As for the Church of Death and the God of Death, Heo isolated the power spreading from the God of Death and killed the God of Death's Pope, the Skeleton Giant, which dealt a great blow to this force.

However, for the conglomerate alliance, He Ao merely helped Dawn City out of its predicament, thwarting their plan to eliminate Dawn City in one fell swoop.

Of course, even if He Ao were given a few more days, he wouldn't be able to expand his gains further; at most, he could only inflict some more damage on the conglomerate alliance.

As a whole, the consortium represents the true core of the Federation's ruling power.

When the ruling power is determined to wage war, the peacetime tactics such as manipulating public opinion and the economy are no longer very effective. These tactics may harm a particular conglomerate, but they are unlikely to cause serious damage to the entire conglomerate alliance.

In war, the logic of war applies.

In war, there are only victors and vanquished.

This time, the difficulty of the 'side quests' is actually much higher than that of the main quests.

Judging from the system's rating, the system should also make this judgment.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for He Ao to maintain a rating of 9.5.

The weighting of small achievements under high difficulty and large achievements under low difficulty should be roughly the same.

Of course, He's ability to 'sever' the power of death may also have contributed significantly to this.

However, this score does not reach the 10-point 'perfect' rating.

He Ao was beginning to realize that the system's requirements for 'perfection' in the main and side quests were probably extremely demanding.

To achieve such a rating, one would not only need to complete the task almost perfectly, but also need to seize some key opportunities.

Main quests, side quests, and hidden quests are different. Main and side quests require dealing with a large number of factions and characters related to the quests, while hidden quests only require dealing with dungeon characters.

He Ao looked down at the subtitles in his field of vision.

[Settling your hidden quest evaluation...]

[Hidden Quest Rating: Perfect (10)]

[Generating your comprehensive evaluation interface, please wait...]

As the main storyline expands, the difficulty of the hidden quests also increases.

As an accomplished man who has reached the B level and is over eighty years old, Hawke has no regrets or unresolved issues in his life.

Although he has his own stubbornness and prejudices, in a sense, he can understand the changes taking place in the Federation to some extent.

But he doesn't really care about these things. He's not the kind of person who has particularly strong empathy or is completely kind to society and others.

He experienced numerous separations and deaths in his life, encountered many setbacks, and became accustomed to both oppression and being oppressed. To him, these were merely components of society, things he neither needed to nor had any reason to care about.

Hawke is actually very much like his grandfather. He doesn't mind helping others when he can, and he'd be even better if helping others would benefit him or his family.

He was even more indifferent than his grandfather.

In the entire world, the only people who can affect his emotions are his family.

His only remaining family members are his brother Edward, with whom he has little contact, and his only son, Elian.

Because his wife passed away early and Hawke was busy with work, Elian actually had very little companionship during his childhood.

Therefore, Hawke actually felt a lot of guilt and remorse towards El-Erian.

But he couldn't communicate well with Elian either, just as he couldn't communicate well with his own father.

However, Elian is more like his mother than his father.

In many ways, Elian can understand and empathize with his father's thoughts, so the relationship between Hawk and Elian is not as strained as that between Hawk and his father.

However, there are times when Elian cannot agree with some of Hawke's views, and when the conflict becomes acute, Elian will also use his own methods to confront his father.

For example, choosing the university you want to attend and the major you want to study.

In fact, before Elian's accident, Hawke always thought that Elian's faith in 'K' and his worship of Kristos were out of defiance against his father.

Hawke's understanding of El-Erian was still stuck in his rebellious phase: "If you don't let me do it, I'll do it anyway."

The father always felt that his child hadn't grown up, even though Elian was already 28 when he died.

Therefore, from Hawke's perspective, Elrian's death was somewhat 'self-inflicted,' like a father forbidding his child from playing in dangerous places, but the child insisted on going and ended up dying.

He was indeed sad, but he was also equally angry.

So Hawke's initial hope was to find his child, bury him, and not let him die alone, and ideally, to avenge him.

As the investigation into Elian's death progresses, it is discovered that Elian was not the naive young man he initially thought he was, and that he had many of his own ideas and was not blindly pursuing anything.

From Hawke's perspective, his 'expectations' have also changed.

He gradually came to understand the child and, to some extent, came to accept the child.

This recognition and understanding also led him to begin to accept his child's ideals and to feel regret for his child's experiences, rather than being angry at his disobedience.

He gradually realized that Elian had grown up and was an independent person, not the child who hadn't grown up.

Along with this process, his expectation also became to try his best to fulfill the unfulfilled ideals of his children.

Hawke's father never truly understood him, and Hawke never understood Elian either before Elian's death.

But when a father truly understands his child, he often becomes the one who supports his child the most.

Of course, whether it was the initial expectation, the final changed expectation, or that unexpected encounter with Elian's spirit, all achieved a relatively perfect ending.

So even though the task became more difficult and more complex, Heo still maintained a perfect rating.

Sensing the changes in his soul, He Ao took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the changing words in his field of vision.

Main Quest Evaluation:
In the eternal universe, life goes on and on, and the departed spirit remains in the body until it completely dissipates.

This remaining spirituality became a breeding ground for darkness and turmoil.

This ancient turmoil was finally ended when a great being who transcended the universe created the world of spirits and led all the departed spirits to an eternal resting place.

The great being holds the authority over the universe and is also a component of it.

They stand at the edge of the starry sky, creating the immortal order of the universe.

However, there was not harmony among them.

When the chaotic bells toll, war begins between the gods.

The sharpest blade in the world severed the place where the dead rest.

It cleaved the universe in two.

Thus, a new area was created in this world, a place that even the Lord of the Underworld could not reach.

For a long time, the Lord of the Underworld tried to return to that region.

He is death itself, and also the one who brings death.

When His will falls upon the world, it brings bloodshed, upheaval, and chaos.

When the gaze of the gods descends upon the earth, everything seems to be predetermined.

But you will change all of that.

It was the result of years of planning and painstaking efforts.

One by one, lives were sacrificed for this.

As blood flows across the earth, painting a river of spirituality, you emerge from the mist and gaze upon this turbulent world.

Howls from the underworld echoed through the sky as servants wielding ancient talents began the prologue to creation.

When the power of the underworld extends once more to the empty earth, death follows.

You traversed a land permeated with death and chaos, through the primordial chaos, bringing everything to a complete end before the turbulent death and sacrifices occurred.

You brought the dead to their resting place, but you took away no blood or sacrifices.

The gods bear witness to your great deeds, and your story will be forever etched in our memories.

A new page in the annals of history has been turned, and the first mark has been made for you.

The story of destiny unfolds in your hands, and eternal greatness is awe-inspiring in your hand.

Even the eternal truth accompanies you.

Your great achievements remain on earth and are celebrated in the starry sky.

From the center to the edge of the universe, from history to destiny, countless beings are telling your story.

Your greatness is revered by the stars.

Your kindness will be remembered throughout time and space.

History pauses at this moment, allowing destiny to etch your footprints.

A distant song echoed in the void, a hymn of praise from all living beings, leaving behind an immortal poem.

That is an eternity that neither time nor storms can erase.
