[At the foot of the old man’s statue, a bronze incense burner the size of a human head emits wisps of smoke. You walk up to it, intending to pick up the incense burner.]

[Noticing your movement, one of the worshipers pales in fright and immediately tells you that touching the incense burner is blasphemy against the City supreme-ruler and will be punished by the City supreme-ruler]

[Hearing the worshiper’s words, your interest is piqued, and you ask what kind of punishment will befall those who touch the incense burner.]

[The worshiper tells you that the taboo here is to not touch the incense burner. Even when offering incense, one must not touch it. Anyone who does touch it will be seen as disrespectful by the City supreme-ruler and will be punished, and they will die on the spot.]

[Upon hearing this, you are not scared but delighted, realizing that the incense burner dedicated to the City supreme-ruler may very well be the object you have been searching for.]

“This time it should be right!”

Su Nan’s eyes light up, finding it reasonable that those who touch the incense burner die.

[You muster all your concentration and attempt to touch the incense burner. However, the moment you touch it, you suddenly discover that the light before your eyes changes drastically – the daytime instantly turns into nighttime.]

[The two worshipers in the main hall vanish, and the old man’s statue before you transforms into a green-faced, fanged monster.]

[Before you can react, an old man’s voice suddenly resounds, questioning why you would blaspheme against the supreme spirit. You are attacked and lose consciousness.]

[Two minutes later, you are jolted awake by severe pain. Opening your eyes, you see yourself lying on a red supreme table.]

[A green-faced, fanged demon is feasting on your insides, and your fresh blood flows down from the supreme table.]

[You are dead.]

[You have no idea that the moment you touched the incense burner, your supreme soul was already pulled into another space – a space meant for supreme souls.]

“Another space?”

“A space for supreme souls?”

Su Nan is amazed and shocked by the contents of his foreknowledge.

It dawns on him when he considers the previous foreknowledge that said, “The City supreme-ruler Temple at nighttime is not the real City supreme-ruler Temple; it’s a product constructed by a Divine Dao ritual artifact.”

He now understands that the entire City supreme-ruler Temple at night is an illusion, created by the mysterious space constructed by the Divine Dao ritual artifact.

“If touching the incense burner will pull my supreme soul into the space created by the burner, I’ll try not to touch it directly.”

Su Nan quickly thinks of a solution.

[You know that once you touch the incense burner, your supreme soul will be pulled into another space created by a Divine Dao ritual artifact.]

[Instead of using your hands to touch the incense burner, you find two sticks and try to pick up the incense burner using them.]

[Sadly, you are disappointed. The moment you move the incense burner, an even stronger power of supreme soul pulls you into the space created by the Divine Dao ritual artifact.]

[An old man’s voice suddenly resounds, questioning why you would blaspheme against the supreme spirit. You are attacked and lose consciousness.]

[Two minutes later, you are jolted awake by severe pain. Opening your eyes, you see yourself lying on a red supreme table.]

[A green-faced, fanged demon is feasting on your insides, and your fresh blood flows down from the supreme table.]

[You are dead.]

[Before death, you realize that not only should you not touch the incense burner, but you should also not move it.]

“How am I supposed to pick it up if I can’t even move it?” Su Nan’s face darkens.

He could solve not directly touching the incense burner.

However, if he could not move it, he really would be out of options.

“No wonder this is a four-star Task; it’s impossible to complete.”

Even when he saw the Task’s star level, he guessed that it might not be as simple as he imagined.

But it was only after actually trying the Task that he thoroughly understood its difficulty.

“In order to get the incense burner, I either have to find an entity without a supreme soul or it’s practically impossible to succeed.”

Divine souls can be said to exist in every living being with flesh and blood, just differing in strength.

Even the bone demons in the Bone Cave definitely have supreme souls.

“Completing this Task seems quite difficult. Perhaps only after my Power of Divine Soul becomes strong enough to resist the three demon kings will I have a chance.”

Su Nan doesn’t use foreknowledge again.

He takes a deep look at the City supreme-ruler Temple and decisively turns to leave.

Continuing to use foreknowledge without finding a solution would just be a waste of effort.

There are only a little over three hours left before today’s Tasks end.

Walking on the increasingly bustling street, Su Nan check the Tasks of the three characters again today.

Out of the four three-star Tasks, only Zhang Yang’s Task to “Avenge the Former Chief of Demon Hunting Bureau” has been completed.

The subsequent Tasks to “Fulfill the Former Chief of Demon Hunting Bureau’s Dying Wish” and Wang Nan’s Task to “Hunt down a Paper Puppet Demon” are both impossible to complete.

Now, the only Task he can try to complete seems to be Lang Thirteen’s Task of the “Green Wolf Demon King’s Troubles.”

After some thought, he heads towards Li Mansion, where the Green Wolf Demon King resides.

He plans to use foreknowledge to see what troubles the demon king is experiencing.

If it’s something he can complete, he doesn’t mind helping.

“Seven days have passed since the Great Princess fell unconscious. I don’t know how long it will take for the Bloodline Coexistence Technique to take effect or if there is any related information in the Tiangong Pavilion?”

Feeling the intangible connection with the Great Princess, Su Nan ponders in silence.

Originally, due to his suicide and resurrection, as well as the Great Princess’s severe backlash, the Bloodline Coexistence Technique not only failed to be lifted but also turned him from the caster into the subject of the spell..
