19: The secret realm has been successfully conquered! Breakthrough to Tier 2!

[Even for that existence, you are but a lowly bug.]

[But you still chose to swing your blade for the fury and indignation in your heart!]

["If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the Blue Star to cause trouble back then."]

[After leaving a final word, you burned your Bloodline talent, you burned your everything,]

[unexpectedly touching the barrier of the Legendary Rank for a brief moment, standing up within this gray and white world.]

[Mission: Strike your strongest blow and declare your faith to it!]

[Reward: A random Bloodline ability (Legendary)!]

“...”

Shen Pan was a bit dazed.

What kind of development is this?

It looks so impressive!

However, there really was a lot of information given this time.

It allowed him to light up another piece of the puzzle regarding the Desolate God Realm.

This fellow, who might be related to the New World Society, was not a native of the Blue Star, but a despicable outsider!

His Main Body was even a descendant of a god, and the concentration of Bloodline in his body should not be low.

For example, there are twelve "gods" there who are at least at the Legendary Peak.

In the future, a particularly powerful big shot begins to hunt them, suspected of starting an internal conflict.

It's just unclear how those gods and the so-called big shot...

...compare in strength to the Catastrophe-level Demon God that appeared in the previous mission.

And this Heaven-Defying System is as inhuman as ever!

Previously, at least the plots and protagonists matched his current reality.

Or at least there was some similarity.

This time, it's things like "of the twelve pillar gods, three are gone."

And declaring faith.

What do the two parties in the story have to do with his current situation?!

Taking on the death perspective of an enemy from a future timeline counts as matching his current situation?

“Cough, cough! You'd better let me go, or else an existence even stronger than me will avenge me!”

“As one of the People of God, only the priests of the gods can deal with me. If you—”

“Swoosh!”

A light blue arrow shot directly from the position of the figure's mouth, interrupting his words.

“Stop your yapping. I don't believe in any damn gods; I only believe in myself!”

Shen Pan bluntly stated his faith.

“Human... you will re...!”

Another arrow.

The figure's raised arm dropped, and this soul fragment completely dissipated into a wisp of blue smoke.

The mental Spell fused into the arrow destroyed all of the opponent's vitality.

Listening to the mission settlement sound in his ear, Shen Pan disdainfully dispersed the bow and arrow in his hand.

The opponent didn't even recognize his handsome face.

He had clearly infiltrated this Secret Realm long ago.

And he couldn't contact his Main Body!

Shen Pan didn't care why the other party had smuggled himself in and occupied this Secret Realm.

He only knew he had to go on a killing spree and take the mission rewards!

“Secret Realm core area successfully conquered. Ownership of the Secret Realm belongs to the conqueror: Shen Pan.”

This voice rang in his ear.

“Congratulations on conquering a growth-type Secret Realm, defeating a BOSS above your Rank, and completing a special achievement.”

“Obtained first-clear rewards: three experience crystals, three random Epic equipment, and Secret Realm ownership (100%).”

(From now on, all resources produced by this Secret Realm and the entry/exit permits are under your control!)

(Resources are settled monthly!)

(Note: The monsters within the Secret Realm are non-renewable resources; they will not respawn once cleared!)

[Name: Shen Pan]

[Rank: 16→19] [Experience: 0%]

Special Achievement [Orc Slayer I]: When conquering Secret Realms or dungeons in the future, experience gain is increased by an additional 10%! (The highest effect applies if there are duplicates.)

Damage against the Orc Race and Half-Orcs is increased by an additional 10%!

[Note: When the cumulative kills of Orcs/Half-Orcs reach 20,000, the achievement Rank will increase!]

“I didn't expect that by attending an exchange meeting, I'd end up snatching away the Secret Realm the Mayor of Tianhai City had been nurturing... He shouldn't blame me, right?”

It probably doesn't count as snatching, since the Mayor never actually captured this Secret Realm.

He was just spending money to nurture it.

He was just testing its quality for the Mayor.

Shen Pan thought with a strange expression.

At this moment, Shen Pan felt that with just a thought,

he could kick everyone out of this Secret Realm.

He could even block their experience gain and keep the resources they had collected!

A true master of the Secret Realm.

“The exchange meeting isn't over yet. I'll give the Class Monitor and my friends from Tianhai City a little cheat first.”

As the thought settled, some rare resources and minerals that should only have been found deep inside

defied common sense and appeared near the Tianhai City team.

A little cheat isn't really cheating!

Shen Pan also dispersed some tribes that were too large, trying to allow everyone to team up and hunt down isolated Orcs.

“Use experience crystal!”

These experience crystals—only three can be used per Rank.

Basically, normal people jump from Rank 16 straight to Rank 19 and then complete the Rank-up mission.

Those without a strong background would wait longingly until the Late Stage to use them.

However, since he still has one Class Point, he can Breakthrough directly to Rank 22!

The faster he levels up in the early stages, the easier it is for him to accumulate strength and complete mission rewards.

So there's no need to save them for the Late Stage.

[experience crystal used successfully!]

[Rank: 22 (Rank 2)] [Experience: 0%]

[Due to the existence of a Class Point, the host automatically skips the Rank-up mission!]

[Since the class quality is Mythical Grade, two skill points are automatically obtained after the Rank-up!]

Finally, Shen Pan looked at the System rewards that had popped up long ago.

[Relying on the talent and secret treasure brought by your Little Junior Sister, you successfully infiltrated the vicinity of the demonic cultivator's soul fragment—the Orc King.]

[After a life-and-death struggle, the superior you emerged victorious and successfully killed the opponent.]

[Mission completed. Issuing reward: A random Epic-Rank Talent!]

[Talent drawing in progress...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Epic-Rank Talent: Rapid Adaptation (Epic)!]

[Rapid Adaptation (Epic): Through day after day of training, traveling through various countries, and witnessing different landscapes, you adapt more easily to any extreme environment.]

[When in an unfamiliar space, you will not be affected by interference or suppression from environments or terrains of Epic Rank or below, which would otherwise cause attribute decay! (Cannot counter rules)]

[When your strength and Realm suddenly skyrocket, you can master them more calmly and quickly.]

“Another very good general-purpose talent!”

Shen Pan expressed great satisfaction.

This kind of talent, which requires accumulation over time and constant bitter cultivation to develop, often has very powerful effects.

Next was the second mission... [You look with surprise at your upright body; even in this gray and white world, you still cannot touch that existence.]

[But you proved yourself and reclaimed some of the color!]

[The opponent is not unsolvably powerful; as long as one is at the Legendary Rank, they can be immune to that strange ability.]

[For example, that God of the Sky who betrayed the Desolate God Realm and defected to the outsiders.]

[That person's dazzling golden hair deeply stung your eyes.]

["Betrayer, die!!!"]

[You hold high the short sword at your waist, which was a graduation gift from your mentor.]

[You once used this short sword to backstab that mentor who wanted to communicate peacefully with the Blue Star world.]

["What a pity, I originally planned to give it to my student as a graduation gift..."]

[You stagger, slowly stabbing toward the target ahead.]

[You are a priest of the gods.]

["Faith only in my Lord!!!"]

[You died.]
