Chapter 519 The Top-Tier Mission

After the black tide receded, Wu Chang's consciousness arrived at a black sea.

He was attached to the sea monster from a first-person perspective. At the point in time he saw it, the Tide Swallower was still in a very clean state. It was just a huge steel ship, and there was no strange flesh and blood integrated on it.

At this moment, the Tide Swallower has transformed into a submarine, carrying the sea monster towards the seabed.

To be precise, it sank to the seabed, because during the descent, the Tide-Swallow was not powered by its own power, but by the pull of some entity on the seabed; the Tide-Swallow itself was not working.

The surrounding waters were cold, dark, and deathly still, without a single ray of light. Apart from the Tide Swallower and the sea monster, it seemed as if nothing else existed.

Deep beneath the sea, the cabin fell into absolute silence.

The human auditory system does not stop just because the outside world is quiet.

When all external noise disappears, the internal voices that we usually ignore become particularly clear.

Wu Chang, experiencing the scene from the sea monster's first-person perspective, began to hear the sea monster's heartbeat and breathing. At first, it was just a slight noise, but when you realize its presence, the sounds become obvious.

As the ship continued to sink into the deep sea, he began to hear the sounds of blood flowing inside the sea monster, the sounds of its intestines moving, and even the sounds of its muscles contracting.

Wu Chang was able to tolerate such voices, but Hai Guai, as the person involved, found it somewhat unacceptable.

In absolute silence, he could clearly hear the sounds coming from inside his own body. This feeling made him feel unfamiliar and uneasy about the body he was using.

The more uneasy he felt, the louder the sounds his body made, and these internal noises began to make him feel nauseous.

To alleviate this feeling, the sea monster turned on the stereo, hoping to break the silence with music.

The sound from the speakers seemed to be "swallowed" by the deep sea. He could only see the song progress bar on the playback interface moving forward, but no matter how high he turned the volume up, he couldn't hear a sound.

Since the music had stopped working, he decided to use some more primitive methods to create a sound.

He tapped the control panel with the back of his scimitar, but the sound of the impact was swallowed up by the deep sea.

No matter how much the sea monster thrashed about, the cabin remained deathly silent. From Wu Chang's perspective, it was as if the sea monster was putting on a silent play.

The sea monster, having given up trying to distract itself with external sounds, discovered that the voice emanating from within its own body was growing louder and louder.

In order to enter this sea area, he spent a lot of attribute points on Inspiration, raising it to 45 points. However, he did not invest the same number of attribute points in Willpower, only raising it to 30 points, to ensure that he would not be affected by excessively high Inspiration.

Under normal circumstances, 30 points of willpower are enough for him to handle most situations, but this is the deep sea.

With his current willpower, he could not withstand the absolute silence around him and the "noise" emanating from within his body.

He felt as if a symphony orchestra of flesh and blood was playing wildly against his ear, trying to seize control of his body with the sound and turn him into a monster.

Just when he was about to be driven mad by the sound and wished he could pierce his eardrums, all the sound disappeared.

Instead, there are howling sounds from electronic devices and tinnitus-like buzzing.

The two sounds grew increasingly sharp and piercing. The sea monster covered his ears and knelt on the ground. In these sounds, he vaguely heard some kind of call.

The call did not come from the deep sea, but from inside his body.

Blood flowed from his ear canal, dripping through his fingers onto the floor. He stared blankly at the glaring blood on the ground.

Looking at the sea monster that had gone into a crash state, Wu Chang couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Are all players in the Realm of Reason this fragile?"

Influenced by the sounds from the deep sea, the sea monster acted as if it were dying and going mad.

But in Wu Chang's ears, who was possessing the sea monster, the voice that was influencing the sea monster was actually an emotionless electronic voice. It was simply telling the sea monster that it had met the requirements to enter the holy land.

The voice was devoid of any malice, not even a trace of emotion. It simply repeated the same content over and over again, increasing the "volume" with each repetition until the sea monster could hear it.

However, the electronic voice failed to consider the sea monster's feelings. The way it made the sea monster hear it was too simple and crude. It directly used "volume" to break through the sea monster's will barrier, causing the sea monster's inspiration to go out of control, and it barely heard the permission to enter the holy land.

Although the sea monster couldn't understand the words, the fact that it could hear them already fulfilled a certain condition.

The Tide-Swallowing Ship slowed down as it descended, and the ship seemed to break through a thin membrane. The entire ship turned 180 degrees and appeared in an unfamiliar sea area.

The seawater in this area is a deep black, which is the black tide summoned by the sea monster and the Order faction during their battle.

A light appeared in the sea, like a searchlight, bursting forth with a blinding beam that pierced the cockpit and flashed before the sea monster's eyes.

Blinded by the light, the sea monster's bewildered eyes refocused, and it awoke from the brink of madness.

He lowered his hands from his ears, wiped the blood from his palms on his body, used his scimitar as a crutch, gritted his teeth, stood up from the ground, and steered the ship toward the light in the darkness.

His expression was one of fanaticism, and he muttered to himself:
"I found it, I finally found it."

As the Tide Swallower gradually approached the light, Wu Chang saw the light's true form: a massive orb of light with a diameter exceeding fifty meters. The orb emitted a soft white light, conveying a sense of friendliness.

The sea monster's eyes were completely drawn to the ball of light, and it couldn't see anything else, but Wu Chang could see it clearly.

Behind the enormous ball of light, a thick, slippery tentacle was connected, tracing an arc before disappearing beneath the sea surface.

A tentacle with a glowing tip reminded Wu Chang of a deep-sea fish that uses bioluminescence to hunt its prey—the anglerfish.

If the glowing creature before them is indeed an anglerfish, its lure alone is over fifty meters in diameter, and its true form is probably even larger than the sea giant at its largest transformation.

The raven was right; the sea area where the sea monster received the blessing of the deep sea was indeed extraordinary.

Guided by the light, the sea monster instinctively piloted the Tide Swallower to a black island.

The sea monster disembarked from the Tide Swallower, ignoring the severe mental trauma it had just suffered. Unsteady on its feet, it staggered to the center of the island, knelt on the ground, and took out nearly a hundred extraordinary items from its personal space.

He held up an ancient book and arranged the extraordinary objects around him in order, solidifying them into a ritual. Then he knelt on the ground, cut open his chest, and let the blood gush out of his chest cavity, staining the area where the ritual was performed red.

The Sea Monster is a player with a high HP attribute, exceeding 400 points, making him extremely resilient. Even if he transforms into a small fountain and continuously spews blood, his powerful HP allows him to automatically recover the blood he has lost.

He even had to repeatedly reopen his chest to ensure that the bleeding wouldn't stop due to the rapid healing.

Wu Changzhi grinned at the sight, thinking to himself, "No wonder they say that gaining superhuman abilities is a form of evolution. If this sea monster used its power for good, donating blood at a hospital, it could probably support the blood supply of an entire country."

When the sea monster's blood stained the entire area where the ritual was being performed, the extraordinary items he retrieved melted into liquid under the influence of the ritual, merging into the blood on the ground. Then, this blood flowed back into the sea monster's body.

The next moment, Wu Chang saw a prompt appear before him through the sea monster's perspective.

"The player has completed the fourth hidden side quest: reaching the Primal Embryo Sac and performing a life transformation ritual, allowing the ocean bloodline within the player to fully fuse."

"Start task assessment."

Hidden Side Quest 4 Completion: B

Player receives reward: Deep Sea Divine Seed (Immature)

"You have completed hidden side quest four, and are now able to unlock hidden side quest five."

"Hidden Side Quest Five: Obtain a mature deep-sea alien bloodline, bring it back to the Primordial Embryo Sac, and complete the Deep-Sea Divinity Activation Ritual. The higher the level of the deep-sea alien bloodline obtained, the more powerful the effect of the Deep-Sea Divinity Seed after activation. Quest Time Limit: One Hundred Days."

"Note: If the mission time limit is exceeded, the deep-sea divine seed within you will gradually go out of control and erode your will."

After the mission was completed, the sea monster's body continued to swell, turning into a huge mass of flesh and blood. He dragged his swollen body and crawled along. The moment he touched the Tide Swallower, he merged with the Tide Swallower.

Grotesque flesh grew on the surface of the Tide Swallower, while the sea monster transformed into the ramming horn of the Tide Swallower.

He disengaged from the Tide Swallower, panting heavily, and took out a huge metal lion head from his personal space.

This lion head was originally part of the ram of the Tide Eater. When he accepted the fifth hidden side quest, the metal lion head received the blessing of the deep sea, which not only allowed him to temporarily summon the black tide surrounding the primordial sac, but also allowed him to sense the aura of deep-sea alien bloodlines within a certain range.

The sea monster put away the metal lion head and took out the ancient book from when it had set up the life transformation ritual. The second half of the book was originally blank, but as the mission progressed, the text appeared in the second half.

The sea monster quickly flipped through two pages before preparing to put the ancient book away, which Wu Chang couldn't resist. He had only read two pages when he realized that the deep-sea divinity activation ritual recorded in the ancient book was no simple matter. His intuition told him that this ritual was very important to him.

Using the method he had previously employed to control the Dragon Pattern's mental world, he simulated the electronic voice summoning the sea monster by solidifying the illusory, and shouted:
"stop!"

He shouted too hastily, using too much inspiration. The sea monster's ears burst with blood again after he shouted, but it also stopped putting away the ancient book.

A bold idea popped into Wu Chang's mind, and he issued the order again:

"Open this book and turn the pages slowly, one by one!"

The sea monster paused for a moment, then immediately followed Wu Chang's command and began to flip through the ancient book in its hand.

When the sea monster completed the hidden side quest, he did not examine the ancient book carefully, but he studied it more than once after leaving the Primordial Embryo.

Wu Chang was entering the sea monster's mental world at this moment, unlike when he was exorcising resentment, where he could only see what had already happened.

At his command, the sea monster's spirit automatically completed the second half of the ancient book.

The key to the Deep Sea Divinity Activation Ritual lies in the location where it is held, namely the black island of the Primordial Embryo Sac; the ritual itself is not particularly difficult.

With his lord-level mysticism, he mastered the entire ritual after only one glance.

He commanded again:

"Tell me, where is this place, and how did you get here?"

Whether it was due to the rules of the hidden side quest or because his will was already faltering, the sea monster opened its mouth as if to tell Wu Chang the answer, but then its head exploded with a bang.

In the realm of the mind, the sea monster's head explodes, signifying the complete collapse of his will and the subsequent fall of his inner world.

Wu Chang's vision blurred as he was forcibly squeezed out of the sea monster's mental world and returned to his own body.

He looked down at the sea monster and saw that its whole body was convulsing violently, blood was gushing from its seven orifices, and it was completely still.

The sea monster's powerful vitality was rendered useless in the face of its utterly shattered will; after its soul died, its body stopped breathing just seconds later.

Even in death, the sea monster's gaze remained fixed on Wu Chang, its eyes filled with resentment.

The chance to become a god is within reach. If he can complete the final step of the hidden side quest, he will not only become a true god, but he may also unlock the method to master the power of the primordial deep sea.

In this situation, to fail at the last hurdle is an injustice that would be unbearable for anyone, let alone a sea monster.

A crimson-purple resentment fell unsurprisingly upon Wu Chang, containing the sea monster's bloody last words.

[Returning to the primordial embryonic sac with the most superior deep-sea alien bloodline, successfully setting up the deep-sea divinity activation ritual.]

Looking at this blood-red last message, Wu Chang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What other deep-sea alien bloodline could be more top-tier than the Deep-Sea Primordial Seed in his body?

Completing the sea monster's bloody last words is not difficult; the problem is, where should he find that primordial embryonic sac?

He was determined to obtain the sea monster's bloody last words, not only for the reward, but also for himself.

In a sense, the sea monster possesses extraordinary luck.

There are three common-sense points in the Abyss game:
Hidden side quests offer extremely generous rewards; the rewards for a series of quests are far greater than those for a single quest; the more stages a series of quests has, the higher the reward upon completion.

It's worth noting that the hidden job change quest for ranked players only involves three stages.

Driven by the Light Society, the difficulty has increased by more than one level. The dungeon bosses are world dungeons of the Archangel level. The longest side quest of the Great Xuan Royal Family faction only has four stages in the whole process.

The series of quests obtained by the sea monster is not only the most rewarding hidden side quest among all the quests, but this series of quests also has as many as five stages!

He couldn't even imagine how generous the reward would be if he could complete the final task.

He was certain that, even within the entire Abyss game, the series of hidden side quests triggered by the sea monster were among the top-tier quests, if not the best.

However, this also answers the raven's previous question.

According to Raven, the power of the primordial deep sea is one of the top powers even in the Void Realm. Under normal circumstances, the Realm of Reason should never be able to come into contact with such power.

However, a series of hidden side quests with five rings is definitely not normal. Even with Raven's extensive knowledge, he probably couldn't have imagined such an outrageous quest.

The only pity is that such a precious mission was encountered by a sea monster, which is truly a waste of its potential.

The sea monster only got a B rating for completing the fourth hidden side quest, but he still received a Divine Seed at the end. If he were given all these quests to do, and he completed each one perfectly, he could clear the entire Realm of Reason with just these five quests.

However, although he was unlucky enough to encounter such an extraordinary mission, he did encounter a sea monster.

With his Soul Traveler and Salvation talents, if he plays his cards right, he can get a share of the rewards in the final hidden side quest, number five.

Unfortunately, the dead cannot be brought back to life, otherwise he would have found a way to make the sea monster make up for the four prerequisite tasks it owed him.

Having completely dealt with the sea monster, he stood up, and a prompt appeared before his eyes.

"Job Change Quest 1: Make a deep impression on at least one hundred extraordinary individuals and leave an anchor point in their mental world. Current progress: 722/100"

"Do you wish to complete job change quest one?"

He remembered that before today, his job change quest progress was 92/100, and by defeating the sea monster, he suddenly gained 630 more mental anchor points.

The Order faction has 500 members, the Evolution faction plus the Light Society has 125 members, plus Jianxing, Meng Yawen, Director Gao, Lei Huo and Zhao Yan, making a total of 630 people.

The numbers match, so it seems there's no one else secretly watching.

This time, he left behind not only enough mental anchors, but also incredibly deep memories. His inspiration told him that he had done enough, and further delay would not lead to any further progress. So he chose:

"Complete job change quest one."

"Start task assessment."

"Job Change Quest 1 Completion: Perfect!"

"Job Change Quest Evaluation: With your abundant resources and exceptional personal abilities, you have conquered countless powerful superhumans and left an indelible impression on them. Each of them is an anchor point for your own existence. As long as they do not disappear, you will not lose yourself in your repeated spiritual journeys."

"You recalled past memories and, through visions left in the hearts of others, autonomously completed a spiritual journey."

Because you possess the talent to condense the illusory into the real, and you discover that when you enter the spiritual world of others, you can transform from a mere traveler into the master of their spiritual world through this condensation.

Your mastery of the Mind Traveler skill makes you a better fit for the Mind Traveler class change, significantly reducing the difficulty of your second class change quest and greatly enhancing the final class change effect.

"You have completed job change quest one. Job change quest two is now open."

"Job Change Quest Two: Aim to become an extraordinary being, complete at least three mental journeys, and explore the target's deepest secret. Current progress: 2/3. Quest time limit: 30 days."

"After completing the second job change quest, the next job change quest will be unlocked."

Upon receiving the second job change mission, the appearance of the virtual reality interactive device in his personal space changed from resembling VR glasses to a pair of Edith sunglasses similar to those worn by Iron Man.

Its item panel has changed, adding other functions in addition to being an item for activating the second job change.

"Item Name: Virtual Reality Interactive Device"

Item Type: Limited-Time Item

"Item Description: Wearing this item will connect you with the impression you leave in the minds of others. You can transfer your consciousness into the impression you leave and thus complete a journey in the mind world of the target."

During your journey, you will randomly encounter certain secrets within the target's inner world, depending on your inspiration and willpower attributes.

"Note: The impression you leave on others is merely a key to entering their hearts. As a future spiritual traveler, it is time to begin a spiritual journey."
