Origin Paradise!

No immortals have been born in this current realm so far, so its foundation is inherently inferior. Once the five realms merge, the outcome is predictable. Moreover, the timeframe is only a short ten years or so. Mr. X believes that even if he achieves the Gold rank, he will be nothing more than a roadside figure, utterly meaningless.

The moment the truth behind the painting was revealed, all six players present heard the notification sound indicating the mission was over.

The rewards are generous, including up to 600 experience points and in-game currency, as well as a high-quality item corresponding to the Silver Age. The only problem is that the number of players who died in this mission is unusual, with a 50% mortality rate, far exceeding any previous daily mission.

boom!

An elderly man landed in the art studio.

With a single reach, he grabbed the fortune teller who was trying to escape from the adjacent sky suite, a move that defied all logic.

"This sense of oppression..."

"Could it be a gold tycoon?"

"No wonder, there are world clusters beyond this world. Even I, a peak Bronze level expert, have never heard of them before. It's normal that they could attract the attention of important figures."

The South District leader was relatively mild-mannered in front of this group of newbies; otherwise, the will of heroes alone would have been enough to wipe them all out. However, he was clearly not so lenient with the Gold Saints, especially non-human beings.

"I don't care where you come from."

"Tell me everything you know."

The fortune teller nodded tremblingly in response.

Chapter 505 Doomsday Tokyo, Begins

More than ten days later, on the border, in the vast wilderness.

More than a hundred silver arcs of light suddenly rose in Yuwang City, and the cold and violent spear force roared out, causing birds and beasts in the dark forest to scatter and flee in panic.

On the central tower, Jiang He put away his silver spear.

Dragon Spear Technique: Thousand Mountains Snow has reached Epic grade.

In a split second, he fired over a hundred shots, creating a dense barrage of spikes. This move was certainly impressive, but it was still quite different from the legendary secret technique, Echoes of the Mountains. The latter was a truly simultaneous attack, and its peak damage was extraordinary.

Currently, the Fiend Guards are sweeping through the Dark Forest in droves, using the Emperor's Tree, a symbol of heroic beings, as a boundary, to hunt down extraordinary creatures and store them as provisions.

Regarding the Great Zhou forces on the border, Wuhe has already sent flying birds to infiltrate and scout. Recently, the Great Zhou soldiers have reduced their search efforts in the Dark Forest because King Ji You has repeatedly lit beacon fires, and one of the Three Dukes has unexpectedly died. Large-scale rebellions have broken out in the vassal states, and wars have broken out one after another.

"Without an initial identity bestowed by the Origin," Jiang He thought to himself, "It's still a bit too dangerous to infiltrate personally."

He didn't want to think about the consequences if he got caught.

In Yuwang City, Lao Hei patiently tended to his vegetable garden, where the planting area of ​​dragon blood grass gradually increased, and the brewing process became correspondingly more complicated.

boom!

On both sides of Yuwang Valley, a giant white snake emerged from the rock walls, and countless stones rolled down. Zhuang Ya crossed the sky and plunged into the opposite rock wall. His huge body rotated back and forth, acting as a super tunnel boring machine.

Wuhe flew around at low altitude, constantly directing the evil guards to carry out construction. He planned to build a platform at the top of the central tower, in the style of a suspended land, to be used for the boss's cultivation, and at the same time to build a rest area for birds.

"Aya, try a few more times, but be careful not to damage the main rock face. Just drill a few big holes."

"Ok."

Seeing that his three companions were all busy, Jiang He simply sat cross-legged on the spot and began to compile the Sacred Martial Codex using his divine mind.

Based on ten thousand years of martial arts, the essence of tens of thousands of supreme techniques, more than a thousand immortal techniques, and thirty-two epic techniques have been collected and are gradually being digested, becoming part of one's own martial arts foundation.

The sun sets and the moon rises.

After most of the day had passed, Jiang He temporarily closed the ceremony; the cooldown period for the world mission had ended.

"This time, we're going to the world where the Angry Candidate resides."

The target's angry candidate's world is a third-order special world, and its specific target and state are unknown.

The mission begins, and a familiar cutscene plays.

Jiang He saw a hazy, gray world star, roughly located at the edge of the eternally dark world cluster. As the view zoomed in, an extremely dazzling "star" fell to earth. After the upheaval, a landmass stood on the boundless ocean.

[At the end of the 21st century, a meteorite named "Wrath" by scientists, coiled like a giant serpent, fell from the sky, thus beginning the end times. The spilled meteorite fragments deliberately destroyed several relatively powerful nations on Earth. Human resistance met with deadly targeting, and civilization was destroyed in an instant.]

[After nearly a century of primitive exploration, the survivors were astonished to discover that the various wonders recorded in ancient texts were becoming reality. A supernatural power called magic was growing stronger. But at the same time, on the desolate land, ferocious beasts filled with destructive desires and madness broke out of the earth, and dark creatures that had always lurked in the shadows of human society began to step into the limelight.]

[In the first year of the End Times, the world's first magician was born. He began leading the survivors to build fortresses in the wasteland to defend against attacks from raging beasts and dark creatures. As they developed, humanity gradually mastered some prehistoric technologies.]

[With this, the Tokyo Fortress was officially established.]

Meanwhile, due to an unknown anomaly, generations of surviving humans began to evolve, striding into a golden age. Magicians pursued the power of the enraged meteorite, which had shattered into seven pieces. Magicians who found and gained recognition within these pieces could wield their power, greatly increasing their strength.

[Humanity named the meteorite fragments the Sword of Damocles in remembrance of the destruction they caused.]

Jiang He stood up from the central tower and called his animal companions over. The moment they reunited, a teleportation light flashed.

World, begin!

Chapter 506 Great Magic

The great hall was so dark that the walls were invisible.

Nine lamps burned quietly.

Beside each lamp stands an exquisite screen, each with a different pattern.

In the dim, yellowish light, you could hear a pin drop.

In the center of the hall, Jiang He woke up on the interrogation chair, her hands bound by ropes that seemed to flow like liquid.

Not far in front of him, a young man in a blue uniform stated indifferently:

"In the Kanagawa recapture battle half a month ago, the Judgment Team and the Fortress Legion defeated Claudius, a high-ranking noble under the command of the Dark Ancestor, and successfully recovered the water purification technology."

"During this operation, the Trial Team's hounds went deep into the research room beneath the Water Source Building and discovered the only result of the old-era top-secret research project, the artificial hero—a super life form codenamed Coffin Prince."

"To date, the trial team has not yet conducted any research on the Prince. Based on my assessment, the Prince possesses an extremely strong physique, at least comparable to a tactical-level mage specializing in physical combat."

"Now, in accordance with the Taiko Rebellion Treaty, the trial team has invited the nine clans to a trial meeting to decide on further action against the prince."

The Azure Monarch concluded his report.

The nine lamps flickered for a moment.

Behind the screen embroidered with three radiating arrows, a woman's mature and charming voice rang out.

"Artificial beauty can be so captivating."

The Azure Monarch glanced sideways. The Miyagi family was renowned for its high-speed magic, known for its speed and precision. The current head of the family, Miyagi Kiku, was already a peak Gold-level being, and with his extreme speed, he was notoriously difficult to deal with among tactical-level mages.

"This is not a place for widows to choose their consorts. Whether the prince truly possesses the value reported is the primary basis for our judgment. I must see it for myself."

Behind the embroidered double-sided screen, a weathered voice rang out. Although the two Wu were over sixty years old, they had an impressive record of fighting several opponents of the same level on their own.

Behind the various screens, people began to speak one after another.

Each of the nine clans has multiple tactical-level mages, but this does not mean that tactical-level mages have lost their importance. On the contrary, the number of excellent mages often determines whether the nine clans' spots will be taken by the candidate families.

Suddenly, from behind the nine-pointed star screen, the girl said:

"I want to use the franchise."

The Azure Monarch's gaze sharpened immediately. The privilege was one of the main privileges of the Nine Clans, and it could only be used twice a year. Once activated, unless it involved life or death, the other Nine Clans had to recuse themselves from the corresponding matters. Although it was not as powerful as the power of veto, it was not inferior in some situations.

The murmurs gradually subsided.

It is obvious that the Jiuye family has set its sights on the prince and intends to recruit or use him. Considering that the current head of the family, Jiuye, is still young, this impulse is understandable.

"A tactical-level weapon whose controllability is uncertain is a perfect match for the waning Kuya family," Miyagiku chuckled sarcastically.

"But before we conclude, we must examine the prince's true worth," the two family heads solemnly declared.

The coffin prince is a research finding from the old era. As for the Tribunal's claim of being the only one, it is naturally not trustworthy. If the prince really performs well, then by tomorrow morning at the latest, hundreds of exploration teams from outside the wall will set off into the wilderness to explore other possible research findings.

“Okay,” said the Azure Monarch. “I will send out the Light Mirror, a tactical member of the Judgment Team.”

"Won't we see the monarch taking action?" Miyagiku asked regretfully.

The head of the family snorted coldly. The source of the power of strategic-level magicians comes from gods outside the heavens, hence the term "divine right of kings." The Blue Monarch is the main defensive force of the Tokyo Fortress and, in theory, must always maintain peak condition.

But the truth is that if the sword of Damocles is used excessively, the anger in people's hearts will gradually become uncontrollable.

The Blue Monarch remained unmoved by the provocations of the Three Arrows Chrysanthemum.

boom!

A circular crack appeared at the edge of the hall floor, which then suddenly rose, accompanied by howling winds. After rising above the split ceiling, Jiang He, sitting in her chair, saw the Tokyo night view: brightly lit and bustling with people, indistinguishable from a modern metropolis.

The Taiko Building is the tallest building in the fortress, level with the massive outer wall that is 300 meters high.

Most of the nine family heads stayed where they were, except for Kuya Mirai, or rather, Kamishiro Mirai, who followed.

"Senior, I'm on your side."

"Your initial identity is one of my main quests."

“I am now a violator and need to cooperate with you to atone for my sins and become a guardian of order again.”

"A peak Gold level player will be arriving later. Winning or losing doesn't matter, but many End players have infiltrated the Nine Clans. It's best not to use that silver spear or similar abilities publicly."

"Besides, the Light Mirror Mage is one of the core members of the Judgment Team, and I do not recommend killing him."

Mirai Kamishiro bowed slightly.
