The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

Mythical punishment is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all living beings; you never know when it will fall.

Every year, the Mythical Golden Gate opens, randomly selecting a varying number of people to enter the Mythical Realm. Once everyone dies, it inevitably leads to punishment at the rule level.

"Hello Comrade Chen Geng, based on the information you provided, we have assessed it and determined that your information is an S-level contribution."

Three days later, Cui Jue, accompanied by a Nascent Soul cultivator, knocked on Chen Geng's door.

The two looked extremely serious. Chen Geng glanced at them and frowned slightly.

I didn't bring anything with me. It couldn't be some kind of honor or award, could it?

If he comes all this way and plays like this, then the world is doomed.

"Hello, I am Jiu Ling, a Nascent Soul cultivator belonging to the Great Xia Dynasty, and I am in charge of distributing your reward. To ensure fairness, the entire process will be recorded!"

"Based on your contributions, we have decided to reward you with one Luo Tian Talisman, 1000 contribution points, and one opportunity to choose from the Mythical Treasury."

This reward exceeded Chen Geng's expectations.

However, the rewards for the first and second items are fine; they can be exchanged and traded later. But the contribution points cannot be touched.

Unable to be transferred or traded, he keenly realized that the so-called contribution points were merits. So how could the other party give them to him?

But then Jiuling gave a standard military salute and stretched out his hand to unroll a scroll in front of Chen Geng.

A scroll painting of Kinmen!

This is something that anyone who has ever traveled through time possesses. Jiuling unfolded his scroll, which was almost entirely blank, with no level of integration whatsoever.

The only thing showing up is the contribution value: 1000

He said to Chen Geng:

"Please verify the reward, comrade. I will now give you the item Luo Tian Talisman. The contribution point reward will be obtained by defeating me. Comrade Cui Jue will take you to collect the third reward."

It's normal that the mythical items were exchanged for with contribution points in Kinmen, but the other party's words about the second reward made Chen Geng feel a sense of absurdity.

He wants me to kill him?

The Luo Tian Talisman was handed to him; it was a talisman with strange patterns and elusive characters carved on it in a crooked and distorted manner.

Chen Geng stared for three seconds, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Geng was puzzled, and a guess suddenly came to mind.

"You want me to kill you so you can get those 1000 contribution points?"

"Isn't the government afraid of alienating people by using this method to give rewards?"

Cui Jue immediately explained from the side that this was exactly what he was there to do:

"Comrade Chen Geng, you've misunderstood. This is just an alternative way we use the Kinmen scroll painting."

  

"Jiuling's soul and cultivation technique are very special, and can be continuously restored. We had him split his soul in advance, then infused his own soul with contribution points, and then completely severed the connection between his soul and his soul."

"In this way, we can create a 'blank reward' that can be used to kill, and then use the Luo Tian Talisman to achieve the best effect."

I see, contribution points...

Chen Geng narrowed his eyes; the other party had accurately grasped what he wanted.

Or rather, this is what all time travelers want, but why do it?

"Kill me to receive the reward."

Jiuling said it again.

Chen Geng nodded and gently touched his brow with his hand.

The sun's true fire, extremely hot and yang, instantly burned the opponent to ashes.

Cui Jue quietly gave a thumbs up, but because the whole thing was recorded, he couldn't say the word "awesome."

But every time he saw this method, he couldn't help but marvel at it. Not a speck of dust was left, and it saved him the trouble of cleaning.

In the mythology of the three races, Chen Geng and his group are the only group of precious geniuses who possess innate supernatural powers as long as they survive.

What does it mean for everyone to possess innate supernatural powers? What does it mean for everyone to be able to reach the Void Returning stage, which is beyond Spirit Refinement, in the future?

The reward given to Chen Geng this time was decided after discussion. He heard that more than half of the leaders were willing to spare no effort to cultivate him, and that they, in turn, hoped that when one person attains enlightenment, he could take the earth with him to heaven.

"That's thoughtful of you. Go choose the third reward."

Chen Geng took a deep breath and did not use the Luo Tian Talisman for the time being. He had already decided on the third reward, which was the Mythical Token that Cui Jue had suggested.

He would wait until he obtained the Mythical Token before using it; no amount of other rewards in the treasure vault could compare to his plan.

Cui Jue led him all the way to the basement of the command center, through three security doors, and finally to the door of a seemingly ordinary room.

The entrance was unremarkable; apart from an old Taoist priest guarding the gate, there were no other security personnel.

However, after Chen Geng arrived here, he felt tense all over because he sensed a... Daoist aura.

He wasn't the only one who comprehended the Great Dao; others also comprehended it, though they were much weaker than him.

The most terrifying aura I sensed earlier came from this old Taoist priest in front of me!

When he arrived, the old Taoist priest also opened his eyes, and their gazes clashed for a moment in mid-air.

"Our Great Xia truly produces many talented people."

The old Taoist priest stood up; this was the first time Cui Jue had ever seen him stand up!

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to choose a reward?"

"Fellow Daoist," Chen Geng replied, "I have indeed come to select a reward, and I need the Golden Gate Token."

But the old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, your opportunity has come. I can save you one exchange slot."

"According to our findings, a large number of time travelers are dying this time. The old Taoist estimates that they may be wiped out in less than half the time."

"At that time, a great summer disaster will strike in an instant, causing immense suffering and loss of life."

"We are all modern people, let's speak like human beings."

Chen Geng asked speechlessly, "What kind of opportunity are you talking about?"

"Ahem." The old Taoist chuckled twice. "The authorities are urgently recruiting transmigrators and are willing to provide Golden Gate tokens for free."

"But they are too weak to survive in the mythology, so I hope you can help me."

"At that time, Great Xia will also be willing to reward 3000 contribution points."

"Oh, you guys even know how many contribution points the reward will be. You must have planned this all along."

Chen Geng saw through their scheme at a glance, and the old Taoist didn't refute it, saying noncommittally, "It's not just you, fellow Daoist."

Chen Geng remained unmoved by the temptation, keeping his composure as always: "However, I need to see which mythology it is. If it's suitable, I'll join. If not, then you probably don't need me."

Chen Geng said seriously, "Besides, I think it's better for you to go than for me to go."

It's not that he's cold-blooded, but rather that Chen Geng deeply understands that only strength matters.

One needs to immerse oneself in the correct mythology to gain more contribution points. An extra reward is far less valuable than learning more.

The foundation accumulated by the opening of the Golden Gate in the Great Xia Dynasty over the past sixty years is not indispensable to him.

The old Taoist priest was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "I have to stay in Dadu City."

"You should take a look first. This myth is about giants and demons, a dangerous myth second only to the myths of the three races."

"We also considered that you have experienced more dangerous myths, so you may have experience, and your strength is not low."

Myths of giants and demons? That must be... the Lich Wars.

Chen Geng's heart stirred. He had originally planned to enter the Journey to the West Tribulation, but the current situation made him hesitate.

During the Lich Wars, there were many powerful beings, and... even more opportunities.

But... he's a golden crow, he won't be shot down by Hou Yi, will he?
