In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 455 Main Quest: The New World! (2.6K)

"Is this fake Chu Jiang's death throes really that ruthless?"

Su Yuan looked down at the blue planet beneath his feet, and thinking of the familiar faces on it, he involuntarily clenched his fists.

"Lanzi, how long until the Illusionary Realm is detonated?"

"Judging from the information I obtained through my connection with the Illusionary Realm... I probably only have one minute left."

Chu Lanxi answered in a deep voice.

One minute……

Upon hearing this time limit, even the Star River Heavenly Lord, a powerful being at the Nascent Soul stage, fell silent.

Even she couldn't possibly relocate all the billions of people in the Blue Star Federation's mainland in a minute.

She could move Blue Star directly, but if she didn't dismantle the main server of the Taixu Illusionary Realm located within Taixu University, the outcome would be the same no matter where she moved Blue Star.

However, if the Illusionary Realm is forcibly dismantled, it might accelerate its detonation.

In the near-dead silence, Chu Lanxi suddenly spoke:

"If you can't save everyone, then save as many people as possible."

“Anon, go and move the Ten Immortal Cities to the starry sky separately. Next, I will enter the main body of the Illusionary Realm and work with the artifact spirit to reverse the program set by the fake Chu Jiang as much as possible.”

"it is good."

After hearing Chu Lanxi's solution, Xinghe Tianjun nodded without hesitation.

She reached out towards Blue Star, and in the next instant, the massive floating island city of Ten Immortals appeared in the starry sky.

Meanwhile, in order to ensure the safety of the people in the Ten Immortals City, the Star River Heavenly Lord also created a giant bubble to envelop the entire Ten Immortals City, keeping indicators such as oxygen, gravity, magnetic field, and spiritual energy concentration at their original levels.

Looking down at the Ten Immortals City, Chu Lanxi flashed and plunged into the depths of the underground of Taixu University.

Watching his good brother's figure disappear, Su Yuan said worriedly:

"Senior Qi, will Chu Lanxi be in danger after entering the main body of the Illusionary Realm?"

Star River Heavenly Lord nodded:

"Of course it could happen; one wrong move and you could end up dead."

"Even if he ultimately manages to prevent the explosion of the Illusionary Realm, he himself might never be able to escape."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and Qi Hanyue, the three young people, couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Then he still..."

"Otherwise what? In the face of this crisis that concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of people, what does sacrificing one's own life matter?"

Star River Heavenly Lord gazed in the direction of Taixu University and slowly said:
"The Ten Heavenly Kings accept the Federation's support without a second thought, precisely so that they can do everything in their power to save the people at such a critical moment."

“This is our mission, you don’t need to be so surprised.”

The three young people fell silent again.

Even for Qi Hanyue, a Nascent Soul cultivator, Nascent Soul cultivators were figures who could come and go as they pleased.

They roam the stars, and no matter which cultivation world or civilization they are in, they are always among the very top group of people, and they have almost unlimited lifespans.

Yet this being, who was no different from a god, was willing to give his life for an ordinary person?

This not only overturned their views to some extent, but also made them feel a deep respect for it.

At this moment, Su Yuan thought not only of Chu Lanxi, but also of the corrupting Heavenly Lord in the mausoleum who was unaware that he was a shadow, and Gui Yuan who had endured tens of thousands of years of hardship without changing his original intention.

There is also the Purple Gold Dragon.

Looking back, apart from those hateful shadows, every Nascent Soul cultivator Su Yuan encountered was a very respectable person.

In this silence, a minute quickly passed.

At that very moment, an invisible ripple suddenly spread through the underground of Taixu University.

It's like an ever-expanding bubble, and everything it passes through vanishes, as if it's been dragged into another space.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Yuan's heart sank.

The Illusionary Realm exploded again. Could it be that Chu Lanxi failed?

Seeing that the ignited Taixu Illusion Realm was about to affect areas such as Zhuxie University and Wanshou University, Su Yuan did not hesitate and set up the Holy Sect Blood Sacrifice Array, wanting to save as many acquaintances and friends as possible.

With time so tight, even if he tries his best, he can probably only save one or two people.

Just then, a phantom appeared in front of everyone.

"Hey, don't be so quick to curse me to death, I haven't even said I didn't succeed yet."

Seeing Chu Lanxi before him, who appeared like a holographic projection, Su Yuan felt a slight sense of relief and excitedly asked:

"Did you succeed?" "No."

"Boiled!"

If this thing in front of him wasn't just a phantom, Su Yuan swore he would have kicked it hard in the butt with his leather boots!

"Cough cough."

Chu Lanxi coughed lightly, feigning seriousness, and explained:
"Although it wasn't completely successful, I did extend the formatting time of the Illusionary Realm to a year later."

"Although the people of Ten Immortal Cities will still be dragged into the illusion, if someone can completely master the Primordial Chaos Dao within the illusion within a year, then he can gain control of the Taixu Illusion and release the people of Ten Immortal Cities."

You're the NPC who gives out quests, aren't you?

Sorry, I already have a dog system!

Su Yuan stared at his good brother with a speechless expression and slowly said:

"So... I have to enter the Illusionary Realm to complete the challenges, right?"

Chu Lanxi nodded and chuckled:

"But don't worry, I will try my best to play the role of the princess who was sealed away by the Demon King, and I will give you some hints from time to time."

"By the way, the demon king who sealed me was the remnant will of the fake Chu Jiang. He wanted to forcibly format the Illusionary Realm of Emptiness. To clear the level, killing the demon king is necessary."

Su Yuan remained silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly:

"Now that things have come to this, what else can I do?"

"However, I have no problem being the hero, but what about the people trapped in the Illusory Realm? Will they be in danger?"

Chu Lanxi's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice:

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

"As I just said, my influence over the Illusionary Realm is limited; the Demon King is the ultimate boss."

"Therefore, I don't even know what kind of world will be generated within the Illusionary Realm. The only thing I can guarantee is that everything generated within the illusion is related to myself and the memories of the fake Chu Jiang."

“Every citizen of the Ten Immortals City will automatically acquire a new identity that conforms to the worldview of this illusion after entering this illusion.”

"Some of them may retain their own will, while others may be trapped in illusions and need to be awakened. If you can unite their power, you can defeat the Demon King more easily."

Su Yuan listened silently, then glanced at the Ten Immortals City beneath his feet.

At this moment, the Demon-Slaying University and the Myriad Beasts University had been completely swallowed up by the Illusory Realm of the Great Void.

Are experts like my own teachers, Taibai Baiji and Lianyao Zhenjun, people I can unite with? I also wonder what their identities are in the illusionary world.

However, if you fail to pass the test, you and everyone in the Ten Immortal Cities who are trapped in the illusion will be formatted.

This responsibility is truly heavy.

Just then, a crisp ding-dong sound rang in Su Yuan's ears.

[Congratulations, host, on once again encountering a new world you've explored before. This time, with the support of the World Spirit, you will unscrupulously bring this new world under your control, turning it into the new stronghold of the Yuan Cult!]

The main quest 'New World' has been updated!

A new...new world?

This seems to be a main quest that was triggered a long time ago.

The mission originated from a bug in the dog system, which treated the Illusionary Realm as the real world and the login pod as a passage between the two worlds.

Su Yuan remembered that he obtained his 'righteous path disguise' and 'Senluo spiritual root' by completing the New World series of quests.

So, you're a prophet, aren't you, Dog System?

You were absolutely right, kid. The Illusory Realm has become an almost completely real alternate world!
The main quest, which was originally supposed to have no further developments, was triggered in a bizarre way!
[Mission: The Demonic Cult Rules Another World (In Progress)]

Conquer this other world, grasp its foundations, and become its ruler.

[Mission Progress 1: Conquer the Local Sect (0/10)]

[Quest Reward: Demonic Skill - Finger Array (Level 4) *1]

[Mission Progress 2: Mastering the Foundations of the World (0/1)]

[Quest Reward: Demonic Skill - Tiger (Level 5) *1]

Su Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the new task that had been refreshed in front of him.

The last two fingers of the Ten Magic Fingers series have finally appeared.

Is this "Tiger Without the 'Finger'" demonic skill really a ten-finger series demonic skill?
But the "Level 5" label on it is really tempting!
After closing the task panel, Su Yuan turned his gaze back to Chu Lanxi.

Whether it's to save his good brother, to save the people of Ten Immortals City, or to collect the Ten Demon Finger Set and master more of the Primordial Dao, he has no choice but to enter this new world.
