Chapter 322 Selective Missions

Greed slowly sheathed itself, and the moment the blade was fully inside, Greed vanished. Stretching, Jing Chen noticed a soul entity appear behind him. This soul entity belonged to none other than himself. It was left in the Hundred Flowers Garden before Jing Chen left, its purpose being to help him recover his divine power.

Jing Chen's use of this soul form is inspired by Naruto from Naruto. Naruto can use Shadow Clones to gather Sage Mode chakra, so why can't he use his soul form to gather divine power? The purpose of this soul form here is simple: it's almost identical to Jing Chen's original body. The current situation is that as long as Jing Chen retracts his soul form, his strength will be restored.

Jing Chen nodded, turned, and brushed past the soul entity. The soul entity vanished after Jing Chen passed it. Jing Chen felt that all-too-familiar sensation within his body. Satisfied, Jing Chen nodded. He now had to go to room 02.

Inside the room, Ling Er was lying on the bed, sketching something on a piece of paper with colored pencils. There were also some other sketches on the floor. The more Jing Chen looked at these papers, the more familiar they seemed. After a moment's thought, "These are from that time?"

"Yes, this is a picture book that I read with Darling," Zero Two said.

Jing Chen picked up a piece of drawing paper, looked at the picture on it, and was surprised to find that it seemed almost identical to what he remembered! "You remember it all? That's amazing." After a pause, Jing Chen continued, "But this story is a bit sad, isn't it?"

"Really?" Zero Two asked.

Hearing Ling Er's words, Jing Chen was somewhat stunned. Ling Er knelt on the bed, looking at the drawing paper spread on the quilt, and said, "For me, this is the first beautiful thing. But after meeting Darling, I wanted to become beautiful with Darling. Darling showed me the outside world, but I didn't understand anything about becoming human." Ling Er got off the bed, walked to sit in front of Jing Chen, and continued, "Later I realized that it's not just about appearance and looks."

Jing Chen and Ling Er looked at a piece of drawing paper next to them at the same time. The picture on it was still a little blurry. Ling Er gently stroked it with one hand and said, "I think you are very dazzling. Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you get angry. You live together and accept me as I am. I think the kind of human I want to become must be like this."

Jing Chen smiled slightly, "It's okay, we'll always be together." Jing Chen stretched out a hand and held Ling Er's hand as she stroked the drawing paper.

Ling Er leaned closer to Jing Chen, and Jing Chen put his other arm around Ling Er's shoulder. The two sat by the window, looking at the pitch-black scene outside. Ling Er rested her head on Jing Chen's shoulder and closed her eyes. Just then, Ling Er seemed to hear a sound. She looked up at the window with some confusion, and after careful listening, she realized that it was the roar of a Klaxosaur.

Jing Chen naturally heard it too, but didn't show any unusual reaction. After the battle of the Great Rift, the Klaxosaurs also lost most of their fighting force, especially the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur. It would be difficult for the Klaxosaurs to recover in a short time. Even now, a month has passed, and the Klaxosaurs haven't recovered yet. The current calm is the best indication of this. Judging from the Klaxosaurs' personalities, if they really recovered, they would definitely try every means to reclaim the Great Rift.

Jing Chen was also observing, wanting to see what the Dragon Princess would do next. Would she follow the original plot and directly kill him, the stamen stained with Zero Two's blood, or would she use some other method?

"Beep, a large amount of mental energy reaction detected. Selective task issued."

"Oh? You're still here? I thought you went on vacation somewhere," Jing Chen said.

"Get the hell out of here! If it weren't for how miserable you are, I wouldn't have been stuck in this state for so long! I'm still miserable, but at least I have some power now. You're a disgrace to me. Don't ever tell anyone you're my son when you go out." The system relentlessly attacked.

"..." Jing Chen was speechless. Sure enough, this was his system. When it came to criticizing him, if the system was second, who would dare to claim first?

"Tell me about the missions, what are the optional missions?" Jing Chen asked.

"Beep, selective task issued: A large amount of mental energy has been detected. The host may make the following selection:"

First, choose to absorb. Reward: Evolution of the Spacetime Pupil, Creation Pupil.

Second, choose not to absorb it. Reward: Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword.

Jing Chen knew a little about the system's missions. The final boss of the national team was an alien similar to a spiritual entity, and for Jing Chen, a spiritual entity was the best supplement. But this Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword... Jing Chen could only say that he had a very vague impression of it. There was some information about the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword online, and Jing Chen had looked it up because of his coursework.

The Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, along with the Xuanyuan Sword, is one of the ten most famous swords in ancient China. After reviewing extensive information, the Xuanyuan Sword consistently ranks second, while the first is none other than the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword. Although the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword is merely a famous sword, how could a sword given by the system be so simple?

However, for Jing Chen, the reward for the first option was also quite good—it was the Eye of Creation! This wasn't the first time Jing Chen had heard of the Eye of Creation. Before arriving in this world, the system had told him that in this world, he could evolve his Space-Time Eye into the Eye of Creation. The Eye of Creation and the Space-Time Eye were completely different species. In other words, if the Eye of Creation was a god, then the Space-Time Eye was a mortal—one was celestial, the other terrestrial, worlds apart.

Jing Chen had learned about the Creation God's Eye from the system. Combined with his Creation Godhood, creating a world would be effortless. However, such powerful abilities naturally have limitations. Specifically, the Creation God's Eye can only be used once every ten years. That is, after using it once, the Creation God's Eye will enter a cooldown period of ten years.

The cooldown time is long, but the benefits are still quite good. In short, there's nothing the Creator Eye can't do.

As the saying goes, money isn't everything, but the Eye of Creation truly is omnipotent. Whether it's creating or destroying a world, killing or saving, changing or rebuilding it, the Eye of Creation is practically omnipotent.

Jing Chen pondered carefully. The Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword wasn't really necessary for him now, since he already had the Xuanyuan Sword and the Greed Sword; his weaponry was more than enough. As for the Creation God's Eye, although its cooldown time was too long, its practicality was extremely high.

After a moment's thought, Jing Chen made his decision: "I choose to absorb it!"

"Beep, the reward will be automatically sent after the task is completed."
