511: Chapter 509 Entering the Mission

[Mission Train starting!]

[You may choose to consume 1 point of spirituality value to actively summon the Mission Train and board at a designated location. The System will assess your overall strength and transport you to a corresponding Dark Place. (Note: Currently only valid for levels 1-10.)]

[Tip 1: Completing the mission grants corresponding rewards, including but not limited to spirituality value, items, equipment, etc.]

[Tip 2: Failure in an actively joined mission exempts you from the penalty of forced obliteration.]

[Tip 3: Participating in an active mission does not exempt you from Mandatory Missions. When the two conflict in time, the Mandatory Mission takes priority.]

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered.

These successive System prompts were clearly encouraging people to actively participate in missions.

While actively participating in missions remained dangerous, success brought rewards, and failure did not necessarily mean death.

This way, one's strength could be enhanced, providing a better chance of survival in future Mandatory Missions.

[Resurrection Pool Fusion successful...]

[Regardless of whether you successfully complete the mission, upon your return, you may choose to consume a corresponding amount of spirituality value to bathe in the Resurrection Pool water. Even in a near-death state, it can repair physical trauma and restore health points within a short time.]

After seeing this message, Chu Xuan truly understood why Yan Guofa's contribution ranking was second only to Yang Yu's, ranking second.

These four Curios from the Resurrection Society were truly Heaven-Defying. After being fused, they became Sharp Weapons for cultivating Transcendents to combat the Gloom Invasion.

The spirit gathering holy grail can produce spirituality.

The teleportation furnace can transfer items.

The eerie bus can Traverse space.

The Resurrection Pool water can restore health.

It wasn't just Chu Xuan who realized this; many others did as well. Instantly, the System chat channel and major online platforms erupted once more.

Soon, someone said excitedly, "Great opportunity! Take this chance to actively participate in missions and maximize your strength!"

Others were more worried: "That's going to a Dark Place to fight Specters. Even without forced obliteration, it's still a narrow escape from death. Better wait and see..."

"Don't be afraid! The System has already stated that it will send us to a Dark Place based on our overall combat power!"

"What's there to fear?! Cangyun World is about to invade. If the mission fails, everyone dies. We might as well actively take on missions first! If we come back alive, we not only get rewards but can also quickly recover through the Resurrection Pool water if we're injured!"

"But what about the Mandatory Mission? The location of the Teleportation Array will appear in just over an hour, and we must seize it within ten hours. What if we can't make it back in time if we join an active mission?"

"Stop worrying about 'what ifs' and just do it! If the missions conflict, the Mandatory Mission takes priority! I've already successfully summoned the train, which means the mission I'm facing will be short and fast..."

"This System is toxic; it's clearly forcing us to participate in missions! I just want to live. Who will save us? Chu Xuan, Yang Yu, the Night Watchers, and the top ten experts on the leaderboard—this world depends on you to save it..."

Among those speaking out were many pessimists, but they were quickly drowned out by more radical comments.

"Don't you all understand? The Heavenly Dao is heartless but fair to everyone. This System is the manifestation of the world's rules, giving each of us a chance to quickly grow stronger and save ourselves!"

"Even without the Cangyun World invasion, The Gloom is rapidly encroaching. Someone has to deal with it. We can't always wait for the 'tall ones' to shoulder the burden; we must save ourselves!"

"Damn! So many people have died worldwide, yet some are still foolishly clinging to luck? You have to be obsessed to survive! If you want to live, you can't be afraid of death. Those who fear death might survive for a moment, but it won't last. I'm boarding the train!"

At this moment, long "woo-woo" sounds echoed from various places.

It was the whistle of the trains.

In front of bus stations, by the roadsides, at school gates, in swimming pool gardens, on mountain peaks, in underground mines...

Countless rusty, old trains roared past.

Everyone who summoned a train, whether hesitant, terrified, or resolute—no matter their state of mind—when the train appeared...

...they all stepped onto it with determination.

Some were worried that the upcoming Mandatory Mission might affect summoning the Mission Train, but this thought was clearly redundant.

Every single person who summoned a train successfully boarded a carriage.

Countless trains and innumerable carriages passed through every location, successfully picking up every traveler.

People separated by thousands of miles boarded the same carriage.

Some who boarded together were sent to different destinations...

The trains roared, carrying people scattered everywhere toward destinations that were all within the same dark mists of The Gloom.

Before boarding, many did not forget to record a selfie video and post it on major online platforms, leaving what might be their last words in this life.

They didn't know what the future held or if they could truly return alive to participate in the upcoming Mandatory Mission.

They only hoped that there would surely still be hope for the future.

As the trains passed through various places, Chu Xuan finally arrived in the Capital on his chicken, reaching St. Lianna Hospital.

Before him was also a thick black mist.

Unlike before his Dream Return, the spread of the black mist here wasn't as large as last time, yet it still gave Chu Xuan a faint sense of trepidation.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and stepped inside.
