Chapter 437: Breaking the Fastest Mission Completion Record

After the meeting concluded, many factions approached representatives from other worlds, hoping to establish deep cooperative relationships. Some proposals were reasonable, while others were utterly absurd.

The most ridiculous request came from Li Er. He approached Luo Ying, Bu Jing, and others one by one, asking if their universes could be rented out to the Dharmakaya Sect for hosting soccer-like competitions. Naturally, Luo Ying and the others refused. The mental image of giant cosmic beings kicking planets around would give ordinary people heart attacks. Who could possibly tolerate such a sight?

Fortunately, most proposals were sensible. For example, the Flying Cloud Trading Company approached Mingzhong World with extremely favorable terms, hoping to become their exclusive agent. Mingzhong politely stated they needed more time for consideration, knowing full well the value of their world’s technological products would attract many suitors from the Nine Provinces.

Moreover, hastily signing agreements without properly establishing tax rates, import/export lists, and other details would be irresponsible. Seeing Mingzhong’s response, the Flying Cloud Trading Company secretly lamented – this rejection meant they’d need to offer even better terms to secure the deal. Their hope for an easy bargain vanished, leaving them no choice but to participate in proper bidding.

The Martial Emperor Dynasty approached brothers Bu Jing and Bu Dong. Their philosophy combined martial arts with physical cultivation – using immortal cultivation as the foundation and martial arts as supplementary, aiming to ascend through martial prowess. Historically, only two ancestors from their dynasty had achieved this feat, placing them at the bottom among the nine great dynasties’ ascension records.

Furthermore, the Martial Emperor Dynasty hadn’t produced any top-tier physical cultivators in recent centuries. Five hundred years ago, Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, and Yu Yin had overwhelmingly dominated the top three positions. After they reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, Zhang Konghu and the Four Seas Dragon Kings rose to prominence through borrowed strength. This was a slap in the face for the Martial Emperor Dynasty.

After this humiliation, they reevaluated their methods and suspected their approach might be flawed. This made pure martial arts prodigy Bu Jing particularly valuable. In terms of martial arts comprehension, Bu Jing surpassed everyone.

The Martial Emperor challenged Bu Jing to a duel in space. As the battle progressed, the Martial Emperor grew increasingly astonished. Despite being an early-stage Unity cultivator, when limiting himself to pure physical combat without using magical abilities or imperial fortune, he found himself evenly matched with Bu Jing.

This was Bu Jing’s first battle against someone of equal level. Initially disadvantaged due to unfamiliarity, he rapidly adapted through accumulated experience, eventually matching the Martial Emperor blow for blow. Just as Bu Jing sensed impending victory, he withdrew.

“Why stop?” the Martial Emperor asked, puzzled.

Bu Jing shook his head: “Our duel was meant for mutual understanding. This point suffices.” In truth, Bu Jing didn’t know the Martial Emperor well enough to predict his reaction to defeat – whether he might sabotage future cooperation with Huanyu World. Better to avoid such uncertainties.

The perceptive Martial Emperor appreciated Bu Jing sparing him embarrassment and developed respect for this martial artist. He invited both brothers to the Martial Emperor Dynasty as honored guests to discuss martial arts and potential cooperation with Huanyu World.

Meanwhile, the Beast-Taming Sect’s leader sought out Little Green Snake and Xia Chao, proposing an inspection tour of Lingxi World. The Baize Emperor quickly followed suit, expressing a desire to revisit Lingxi World’s current state. Clearly, both factions sought cooperation agreements with Lingxi World.

Little Green Snake and Xia Chao warmly welcomed the proposals. Both organizations had inseparable connections with demon beasts, and the Baize Emperor had been their mentor during their growth – someone completely trustworthy. The sect leader and emperor exchanged competitive glances, their rivalry focused on securing the spatial channel location.

Since Brahma Tower could only maintain one spatial channel to Lingxi World, its placement became the crucial negotiation point. Numerous other factions also approached with various proposals, including spreading their doctrines to different worlds.

While frequent exchanges were positive, Jiang Li imposed one condition: all agreements must be registered with the Human Sovereign Hall. Suddenly, the system’s mechanical voice echoed in Jiang Li’s mind:

[Special Mission “Path of the Human Sovereign” officially initiated. Host must become the Human Sovereign.]

[Reward: “Chaos Scripture” volume]

[Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (1): Old Human Sovereign Lu suffered hidden injuries resisting Outer Realm Demons. Fearing fatal relapse, he initiated succession rituals to select a new Human Sovereign.]

[Please become a Human Sovereign candidate]

[Reward: Old Human Sovereign Lu’s “Three Word Technique”]

[Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (1) Completed]

[…Scanning…Scanning…Unable to comprehend…Issuing Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (2)…]

[Issuing Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (2): …]

[Issuing Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (3): …]

…

[Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign (33): Old Human Sovereign Lu’s injuries relapsed fatally. Before you could see him, the Martial Emperor and Qing Heaven Sect’s High Priest – sworn enemies for years – erupted into violent conflict following Lu’s death. Utilizing imperial fortune, the Martial Emperor temporarily reached Tribulation Transcendence Stage and battled the sect leader, causing massive bloodshed across the Nine Provinces.]

[Please stop their battle until Commander Liu and other Tribulation Transcendence experts arrive]

[Reward: Enlightenment, elevating host to Tribulation Transcendence Stage]

[…Scanning…]

[Detection: Host has become Human Sovereign, completing Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign]

[Congratulations on completing Special Mission Path of the Human Sovereign as the 72nd Human Sovereign]

[Does host accept final reward “Chaos Scripture”?]

“Has this broken system finally malfunctioned completely?” Jiang Li sighed. This was both the most verbose and fastest mission completion he’d experienced. Normally, due to temporal misalignment, even completed missions had to wait until the system caught up with its predetermined timeline before issuing new ones.

But now, it spewed out all thirty-three missions at once, skipped every requirement, recognized him as Human Sovereign, and declared the entire “Path of the Human Sovereign” complete. “How uncharacteristically efficient.”

“Maybe special missions have different triggering conditions than regular ones?” Jiang Li mused, knowing he’d never understand this absurd system’s logic. Being sane prevented him from descending to its level of idiocy. “Perhaps Bai Hongtu could communicate with it – birds of a feather.”

“Accept final mission reward.” A scripture radiating immortal energy materialized in his hands, boldly titled “Chaos Scripture.”
