138: Chapter 138 Hidden Mission!

Lu Yin focused his gaze on the giant figure roaring under the Abyssal Demons' siege.

Space-time turbulence swirled wildly around him, shredding any approaching demons.

However, the demons were too numerous, like an endless tide surging forward.

"Is that... the God of Time and Space?"

Milian watched the giant figure, her voice trembling slightly.

Yarberna shook her head: "No, that is a Divine General under the God of Time and Space."

"The God of Time and Space shouldn't have fallen here."

As they spoke, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

The giant figure roared to the sky, forming a complex hand seal in front of his chest.

Instantly, the power of time and space across the entire plain converged frantically toward him, condensing into a Blade of Time and Space that spanned heaven and earth.

"In the name of Time and Space, Judgment!"

With a roar that shook the world, the Divine General swung the Blade of Time and Space.

The strike seemed to cleave the world apart; everywhere it passed, space shattered layer by layer, and time stood still.

The demon army was obliterated by the strike, and even the distant mountains were leveled cleanly.

However, just after the Divine General unleashed this ultimate strike, the space behind him suddenly distorted, and a dark shadow, appearing as if pulled from time and space, emerged leisurely.

The shadow held a dagger emitting an ominous aura, stabbing straight into the Divine General's back.

"Watch out!"

In the distance, Su Xiaoruan couldn't help but cry out, even though she knew it was just an illusion of history.

Puchi!

1,326,598,846!

A terrifying damage number floated up, and the Divine General let out a roar filled with resentment and fury.

"Traitor!"

His massive body began to disintegrate, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air.

With the fall of Chronos, the entire illusion began to distort and shatter, finally turning into countless light particles and vanishing.

The desolate plain returned to silence, as if the earth-shattering divine war had never happened.

"That shadow... actually killed a Divine General in one hit!"

"Who exactly is he?"

Ling Ying asked, her face pale with shock.

Ling Ying's question made Yarberna fall silent for a moment before she spoke calmly.

"These scenes are from too long ago; no one truly knows the truth."

Lu Yin scanned the surroundings sharply, finally fixing his gaze on the spot where the Divine General had vanished.

Strong ripples of time and space still lingered there, faintly forming a weak ball of light.

"There's something there."

As he spoke, the group hurried toward the direction of the energy.

Soon, they reached the place where the Divine General had fallen, finding a floating ball of light.

Inside the ball of light, a diamond-shaped crystal floated quietly.

It looked as if a galaxy flowed within it, emitting a majestic and pure power of time and space.

Beside it was a broken piece of armor, etched with mysterious space-time divine runes.

[Keale's Core (Special Item)]

[Usage: A crystal containing a portion of the divinity and power of the Space-Time Divine General Keale. It can be used somewhere for a special class awakening.]

[Keale's Space-Time Imprint (Quest Item)]

[Usage: A fragment recording the final memories and obsessions of Divine General Chronos. Touching it may trigger a related hidden quest.]

"A special item and a hidden quest?!"

Milian gasped, her eyes full of shock.

But before she could finish, the two items, as if guided, flew straight into Lu Yin's hands.

"These... these two items chose you?!"

Milian was startled.

Almost simultaneously, Keale's Space-Time Imprint turned into a beam of light and merged into his body.

Fragments of images and information surged into his mind like a flood.

The glorious Divine Domain, comrades fighting side by side, and the endless invasion of the demon army.

And that final moment—the coldness of a backstab from a trusted person and the pain of betrayal...

[Ding! You have triggered the Unique Hidden Quest: Elegy of Time and Space and the Fire of Revenge]

[Quest Requirement: Identify the 'traitor' who backstabbed the Space-Time Divine General Chronos and uncover the truth behind the ancient divine war.]

[Quest Tip: Chronos's memories point to the 'Fiendish Abyss,' where the traitor's aura seems to linger.]

[Quest Reward: ??? (Related to quest completion rate)]

"Fiendish Abyss..."

Lu Yin muttered the name, his gaze deepening.

He knew this name belonged to the paradise of the Abyssal Demons, located on their home planet.

In other words, the ultimate Dungeon in the eyes of all human Professionals.

"Lu Yin, are you okay?"

As Lu Yin processed these memories, Milian asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Lu Yin shook his head and put away the Space-Time Divine General's core.

According to the information, this seemed to be the key item for the so-called divine inheritance.

Now, if he obtained one more mysterious mark, he could seemingly gain information about this inheritance.

The moment Lu Yin put away Keale's Core, the entire desolate plain shook violently.

The surrounding space began to twist frantically, and countless Spacetime Aberrations crawled out from within.

"Let's go, the space-time structure here is starting to collapse because the core was taken!"

Yarberna's expression changed slightly as she spoke.

"Alright!"

Everyone nodded simultaneously and rushed toward a teleportation vortex that had appeared nearby.

After a narrow escape, the group successfully entered the vortex.

With another earth-shaking tremor, they returned to the Rift of Time.

"We're finally out..." Su Xiaoruan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

"I almost thought we were going to be trapped in there."

"Next, we still need to continue searching for the Temple of Time."

Milian gathered her thoughts and looked at Lu Yin.

"That's right. As soon as I get one more mysterious mark, I'll know where the divine inheritance is."

"When that time comes..."

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Rift of Time, four figures in golden armor moved around a mysterious altar.

"What's going on? Can't we activate the divine inheritance even with five mysterious marks?"

Ayuria looked puzzled.

"The mysterious marks are just pointers to guide us here. The true key is likely something else."

Ayuges frowned in thought, his voice cold.

"Brother, do you mean we haven't obtained the key item to open the inheritance yet?"

"Exactly. There must be other special scenes we haven't entered yet."

"Then what should we do?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Yes. Searching for it now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Ayuges said calmly, "Besides, if we leave this place, the person who obtained the 'key' might take advantage of the opportunity."

Just as he spoke, four figures in black robes suddenly stepped out not far from them.
