Alone and Infinite

[Operator Role: Guild Leader]

[Permission verification passed!]

The screen flickered and changed, and a selection bar appeared. Li Xia did not select S directly, but instead tried clicking on the B-level task.

A long list of tasks immediately appeared below.

Mission: Kill 'Orator Fikry'

[Task Difficulty: B]

[Quest Acceptance Restriction: Very Small Guilds]

[Quest Reward: Guild Experience???]

[Mission Brief: Orator Fikry, a B-rank Fate Node character. Defeating him will cause a Level III Fate Shock, shifting the world's Fate Line by ?? degrees.]

"The original world?!"

"Awoo looked at the mission description and said in surprise."

"Hmm, I roughly know what guild missions are. It's like sending employees out to do outsourced work!"

Although I don't quite understand the meaning of the key figures in the story, the third degree of fate tremor, and the shift in the world's fate line, doing so will undoubtedly create a lot of opportunities for transcendence.

I then looked at a few more missions, which were mostly sabotage and assassination missions, and without exception, they were all B-level fate node characters or events.

Returning to the selection page, Li Xia opened the list of S-level missions.

The number of tasks decreased rapidly.

I opened the first task:

[Mission: Cleanse the 'Abyss of Demons']

[Task Difficulty: S]

[Quest Acceptance Restrictions: Smaller guilds or larger]

[Quest Reward: Guild Experience???]

[Mission Brief: S-level Fate Node Event. According to predictions, the 'Abyss of Demons' will erupt in ten years, sweeping across the entire planet of Asia, killing more than 80% of the native inhabitants. Cleaning up the Abyss of Demons will trigger a massive wave of fate, shifting the world's fate line by ?? degrees.]

Upon completion of this task, this world will be incorporated into the Temple of Light's ranch!

Li Xia frowned, closed the quest, and continued reading, only to find that several of them were only available to small or larger guilds.

Until a task came into view.

Chapter 296 S-Rank Guild Quest Acceptance

[Quest: Sacred Relic Totem]

[Task Difficulty: S]

[Quest Acceptance Restriction: Very Small Guilds]

[Task Reward: Promotion to Rank A Guild]

[Mission Brief: Hold the Stan Star Sacred Relic Totem for eight hours. Upon completion of this mission, this world will be incorporated into the Temple of Light's ranch!]

"The mission description seems a little different from the other missions."

Awoo glanced at the description of this task, and then looked at the other tasks.

Other tasks involve either key events or pivotal figures in destiny, capable of triggering shocks or ripples in one's fate.

At this point, you only have eight hours to hold the sacred object.

"No choice, there are only so many Tier 3 missions."

Li Xia shook his head. It would be nice to have more missions to choose from, but the problem is that there's only one Tier 3 S-rank guild mission.

"That's true. Anyway, it's just an S-rank mission. It's a bit difficult for us, but not too difficult."

Aowu agreed, while Heitan waited quietly to the side, saying nothing and simply stating "whatever".

S-rank missions are actually quite difficult, not as easy as Aowu made it out to be.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xia tentatively sent an inquiry to the Hall of Light:

"Can you provide more detailed information about the 'Sacred Relic Totem' quest?"

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few seconds, the Temple of Light actually responded.

[Verifying the executioner's authority]

[Verifying the executioner's overall evaluation level]

[This consultation authorization has been approved!]

[A limited response will be provided]

Li Xia couldn't help but laugh. Either he had satisfied Guangming before, or Guangming couldn't stand this S-level mission being stuck for so long.

[Sacred Relic Totem - The Artifact of Destiny and Origin of Stan Planet, an extremely rare artifact that combines destiny and origin, which can be used as an anchor for the Heart of the World]

[Stan Planet is a third-order world and cannot withstand too much power. It takes eight hours to inscribe the Seal of Light on the sacred relic totem (eight hours is the minimum time for resource consumption)]

The strongest being on Star Stan is approximately at the peak of the third tier.

Looking at the constantly updating text in the Hall of Light, Li Xia nodded thoughtfully.

I understand now!

This sacred totem is a rather rare two-in-one item, considered the core of Stan Star.

However, the third-order world is far too weak. Even a slight release of power from the Hall of Light could cause the entire world to burst apart.

Therefore, in order not to overwhelm the world, the Temple of Light needs time to leave its mark on this core, a process that takes eight hours.

As for whether the Hall of Light can complete the engraving instantly, or whether it can obtain the sacred totem directly without the need for apostles?

It is certainly possible, but why would the Temple of Light do this?

Precisely controlling power within a stable range consumes far more energy than direct output.

Where is it cheaper and less troublesome than simply sending an apostle over?

All you need to do is cover the travel expenses. If you perform well, you get a reward; if you perform poorly, you're dead.

It's that simple.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xia chose to accept the offer.

There's only this one S-rank solo mission; there's no other option.

"Let's browse the stalls. We still have quite a few Palace Points left. Let's see if we can exchange them for something."

And that sniper rifle, maybe we can exchange it for a bow or something.

Just minutes after they left, several apostles filed in through the main gate.

Some apostles, who were standing in front of the machine waiting for the guild's decision-makers to make a decision, glanced around the hall out of boredom. When they saw these people, they were immediately taken aback.

Before long, a low, intimate conversation began to hum through the hall.

"ACE?"

"Are they ACE?"

"Hmm, the strongest super-small guild among the third tier."

"I heard that their individual strength is only average, but their system is very complete. In other words, their guild leader, 'Ace,' is in the top ten in the arena."

The majority of the remaining people had numbers between 100 and 200.

"But why are there so many people? It's just a mission."

"That's not clear."

He ignored the stares coming from all directions in the hall, and paid no attention to the various emotions they contained.

Ace walked up to an empty machine and pressed his hand on it.

After verification, I opened the S-level task and scrolled down to the bottom.

Ok?

Ace was taken aback, his eyebrows furrowing involuntarily. He flipped through the pages several times, refusing to believe it.

Indeed, his expression involuntarily turned ugly.

The team members waiting nearby immediately noticed their leader's unusual behavior. A beautiful woman with an extremely aloof appearance asked with concern:

"Is there a problem with the mission?"

After a moment of silence, Ace slowly said:

"The mission disappeared because someone else accepted it."

Was someone...picked up?

Several team members stared wide-eyed, a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Was it Huangxing and his group who received it? Or was it Shenhai?"

Among the three tiers, only three are qualified to accept S-rank missions: ACE, Radiant Star, and Deep Sea.

Let me ask.

Ace took out his communicator and sent an inquiry message directly.

A moment later, he put down the communicator, his expression increasingly confused.

"Not them."

"This"

The team members were also confused. To accept the mission, they had to be either an A-level guild with full experience or an S-level guild.

As far as they knew, there were no S-class super-small guilds in Tier 3, but there were S-class guilds.

After all, with more people, some can be assigned to do guild tasks.

To upgrade a guild to A-rank with full experience in Tier 3, you need not only strength but also time and effort.

Even they had to complete several A-level missions to accumulate enough experience.

The mission was fraught with danger; if it weren't for good luck, several people would probably have perished.

Ace sighed. He had seen this mission before, but it was an A-rank to S-rank promotion mission, so he had to be careful.

The reason why ACE is so strong is that everyone has integrated into the system, and if one person is lost, it is difficult to find a replacement immediately.

Even if you find someone, it takes time for them to integrate into the team.

Therefore, he spent a lot of energy and resources investigating the task, striving to avoid any mistakes.

Finally, I gained advanced access through a tool and was able to look up several points that were of particular interest to me in this mission.

They made specific preparations before coming here to challenge the S-level mission.

Once promoted to S-level ultra-small guild

The road ahead will undoubtedly be much easier! There will be more and more A-level super small guilds in the future, but the number of S-level guilds will still be very small.

Pity.

Ace sighed; there was nothing he could do about it.

"Boss, should we... try it out? The team that took this mission will reset if they die, right?"

A short man made a throat-slitting gesture; all that previous investment had yielded far more than just a tiny bit of information.

The power of high-level items is greater than imagined; the ace's real intention is to recruit mercenaries.

Once they arrive on Stan Star after accepting the mission, several experts will use teleportation tools to form a temporary team through an agreement.

This is a small loophole; having two or three more experts can significantly increase the success rate of completing the task, but the cost is also really high.

If the mission is not completed, the ACE's spine can be broken directly.
