Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm.
Ender sat on the sofa in his study, a light screen in front of him displaying an email just sent by the Virtual Universe Company, the content being a completion notification for the first stage of the Highest Points Mission.
"Ender Royce, your completion of the first stage of the Highest Points Mission has reached 100%. After deliberation by the Highest Assessment Council members, it has been determined that you have completed the first stage ahead of schedule. You will receive the Highest Mission Reward Points of 500,000 for the first stage and are eligible to proceed to the second stage!
Comment: The first stage of this Highest Points Mission was relatively simple. You completed the mission ahead of schedule with 100% completion. Your performance in personally eliminating targets met the expectations of the Highest Assessment Council members. We hope you continue to maintain this in subsequent missions."
The content on the light screen made Ender's eyes narrow slightly. "The first stage of the Highest Points Mission, completed ahead of schedule…"
"Highest Points Missions are generally assessments of a core member's Heart and ability, but the first stage of my mission had none of that content. It was as if it was a mission hastily arranged."
"Before the second stage of the Highest Points Mission is released, I cannot confirm whether my previous conjecture is correct."
In fact, upon seeing the email content, Ender felt that it did not quite align with the Virtual Universe Company's usual style, and the first stage of this Highest Points Mission was indeed too simple. The last sentence in the comment was also a bit strange.
"I received 500,000 points from this mission, plus the more than 400,000 points I gained from clearing the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Now I have nearly 900,000 points, very close to the 1,000,000 points needed to exchange for the fifth volume of "Divine Tree True Solution.""
Previously, after passing the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, he also obtained more than 200,000 points. However, due to exchanging for some Secret Techniques and treasures, there was still a shortfall of over 100,000 points.
And after he fully comprehended all the essences of the Space Origin Law, the Space Law analysis part in the first four volumes of "Divine Tree True Solution" became useless. This allowed him to Cultivate the Wood Origin Law during this period, and his progress in comprehension was quite good.
Ender stared at the treasure exchange interface on the light screen, at the points displayed in the upper right corner, and murmured, "A 100,000 point shortfall. Now I just have to wait for the second stage of the mission."
After breaking through to become a World Master and being assigned, only the Highest Points Mission could yield a large amount of points, so he could only wait for the second stage of the mission to begin to make up this 100,000 point deficit.
"For now, there's no rush to return to Ganwu Universe Country. There's a high probability that the second stage of the Highest Points Mission will also be in Yuan Chen Universe Country."
Thinking this, Ender's consciousness left the Virtual Universe and returned to the real world.
…
Yuan Chen Universe Country, Purple Bee Starfield, Bee Wing Star.
Ender looked down at the broken, sunken earth. In the center of the sunken crater was a pool of blood, proof of Worawi's existence.
Buzz!
World fluctuations flashed, and his true body was put into his World Ring, replaced by a highly simulated body that appeared out of thin air.
"Marquis Jiaosu." Ender flew to Marquis Jiaosu's side, nodded slightly, and said, "All armies of the Sixthy-Sixth Army, except for the Sixty-Ninth Army, can return."
Marquis Jiaosu heard this and asked with some surprise, "No need to eliminate the four fugitives anymore?"
"Those four fugitives are no longer important," Ender shook his head gently. "As for eliminating them, let the Sixty-Ninth Army handle it."
"Understood, I will arrange it now." Marquis Jiaosu nodded slightly. She guessed that Ender must have completed the mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company's higher-ups.
On the other side, the Gold Horn Race members who had flown over, after hearing the conversation between Ender and Marquis Jiaosu, couldn't help but discuss it through telepathy.
A Pinnacle Immortal Army Lord asked, "From the conversation between His Highness Ender and Marquis Jiaosu just now, it seems he has completed the mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company. But the question is, what should we do?"
According to their plan, during this assistance mission, they were to take the opportunity to befriend Ender and also invite him to the Laos World.
But the problem now was that their plan had not yet been implemented. They hadn't connected with Ender, this top Human Race Genius, and the mission was already completed, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
That Marquis-level High Immortal telepathically said, "As long as the Virtual Universe Company doesn't order us to return to the Laos World, we will continue to stay by His Highness Ender's side. At least we must tell him that our Gold Horn Race has a beast god statue and a Sacred Tablet."
Elder Rient telepathically said, "We must inform His Highness Ender about the Sacred Tablet and the beast god statue. Those who Cultivate the Beast God Path understand the importance of the beast god statue. Ender should not refuse our invitation."
"Hmm…" Elder Rient continued, "I will find an opportunity to tell him about the existence of the beast god statue."
…
More than a month later.
Bee Wing Star, outside Ender's room.
Tap, tap!
"Your Highness Ender." Elder Rient gently knocked on the door.
"Oh, it's Elder Rient." Ender's voice came from inside the room. "Come in."
Elder Rient entered the room and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Highness."
Ender asked, "Elder Rient, is there something you need?"
"Previously, while observing Your Highness's combat with those World Masters, I noticed that Highness seems to be Cultivating Fusion Law." Elder Rient smiled and said, "Am I correct?"
Ender nodded gently and said, "Yes, I have indeed comprehended a Fusion Law."
Elder Rient asked, "Has Your Highness heard of the Beast God Path?"
"I have heard of it. Our Human Race has countless records. After I comprehended that trace of Fusion Law, I searched and learned of the Beast God Path's existence." Ender responded. He already knew Elder Rient's purpose now.
"The Beast God Path imitates the Beast God's Cultivation method, and it is incredibly difficult to Cultivate, no less so than simultaneously comprehending the Space and Time Origin Laws." Elder Rient said softly, "However, once the Beast God Path is Cultivated to Major Achievement, one can also become a super powerhouse who dominates the Universe."
Ender nodded slightly, indicating he knew these things.
"Perhaps Your Highness doesn't know, but there's a shortcut to Cultivating the Beast God Path: observing and comprehending the mysteries of the Beast God's body. Even if you only comprehend a tiny bit, it can assist in comprehending Fusion Law."
Elder Rient sighed softly, "Our Gold Horn Race once produced a greatest Elder, Xi Luo Duo. Doyen Xi Luo Duo was a Cultivator of the Beast God Path."
"When Doyen Xi Luo Duo was still alive, our Gold Horn Race was among the powerful races. But after Doyen Xi Luo Duo's demise, our Gold Horn Race's status and influence plummeted."
"However, even after Doyen Xi Luo Duo's demise, he left behind two supreme treasures for our Gold Horn Race to Cultivate the Beast God Path. It is precisely because of these two supreme treasures that our Gold Horn Race has been able to Cultivate many powerhouses."
"Oh? Supreme treasures for Cultivating the Beast God Path?!" Ender showed a very interested expression.
"Yes, supreme treasures!" Elder Rient said solemnly, "One is similar to your Human Race's Cultivation Arcana Treasure, the Primal Chaos Tablet. The other is an incredibly massive beast god statue. It is said that Doyen Xi Luo Duo's strongest Secret Technique was comprehended from the beast god statue."
"To be comparable to the Primal Chaos Tablet, it is indeed very impressive." Ender nodded slightly, sighing softly, "I really want to see it."
Elder Rient asked, "Is Your Highness interested in our Gold Horn Race's Sacred Tablet and beast god statue?" "I am indeed very interested, especially in that incredibly massive beast god statue you mentioned," Ender replied.
Elder Rient invited, "Since Your Highness is interested, why not visit our Gold Horn Race's Laos World as a guest and see that beast god statue?"
Ender pondered, "That might not be appropriate…"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Your Highness is an unparalleled Genius born from the Human Race. It would be an honor for our Gold Horn Race if you were to visit our Laos World as a guest." Elder Rient said exaggeratedly.
"In that case, I will go to the Laos World to take a look." Ender nodded, accepting the invitation.
"When does Your Highness plan to depart?" Elder Rient asked.
"After this mission ends, which is just over ten months away," Ender said.
"Hmm…" Hearing this, Elder Rient nodded gently and said, "It's perfect to leave together once the mission is completed. Otherwise, we would have to wait for Your Highness to return to the Ganwu Universe Country before we could go to pick Your Highness up."
"Is your Gold Horn Race's Laos World in the Ganwu Universe Country?" Ender asked, feigning confusion.
Elder Rient replied, "The Laos World is in a Secret Realm within the Ganwu Universe Country."
"So it's in the Ganwu Universe Country. No wonder the Virtual Universe Company sent you to assist me."
Ender nodded slightly and said, "Since the Laos World is in the Ganwu Universe Country, then this bit of time doesn't make much difference."
"First, let's wait for this mission to be completed. If I don't need to stay in the Yuan Chen Universe Country afterward, we can return directly. If I still need to remain here, you can go back first."
Ender said, "When I return to the Ganwu Universe Country, I can just contact you then."
To prevent Ender from changing his mind, Elder Rient hastily said, "We don't have anything else to do. If Your Highness doesn't mind, we can wait for Your Highness."
"Alright," Ender smiled and nodded. "It's settled then. We'll return to the Ganwu Universe Country together."
Seeing Ender agree, Elder Rient stood up and bid farewell, "I apologize for disturbing Your Highness. I will go back and inform my clansmen of this news."
"Hmm." Ender nodded, then saw Elder Rient out of the room.
After Rient had been gone for a while, Ender's face broke into a smile as he thought, "I finally waited for them to invite me."
He had been waiting for this day since the mission ended. He knew the Gold Horn Race's survival strategy was to befriend Geniuses and powerhouses of the Human Race to gain more resources.
The reason he waited for the Gold Horn Race to invite him, rather than proactively telling them he would go to the Gold Horn Race, was because of the difference in attitude.
One is being invited, the other is going on one's own initiative. The difference between the two is significant. The former means the Gold Horn Race needs something from him, while the latter means he needs something from the Gold Horn Race.
Compared to needing something from the Gold Horn Race, Ender preferred the Gold Horn Race to need something from him.
…
Time flowed, and more than ten months passed.
During this time, Ender had been comprehending the Wood Origin Law, and occasionally Cultivating "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body." Although he didn't spend much time on the latter, he still Cultivated it to the third level of Major Achievement.
With the third level of Major Achievement in "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body," his body's amplitude reached 10 times, and his volume could be reduced by up to 100 times.
A 100-fold reduction in volume might seem like a lot, but given Ender's body height of 10 kilometers, 100-fold only allowed him to reduce his body height to 100 meters.
According to his agreement with Elder Rient, after the one-year mission period ended, he would return to the Ganwu Universe Country with him and visit the Gold Horn Race's Laos World as a guest.
"Master, there's an important email from the Virtual Universe Company."
As Ender was talking with Elder Rient, discussing how to return to the Ganwu Universe Country, Little Dawn's prompt sounded in his mind.
"An important email from the Virtual Universe Company, just after the first stage of the mission ended?"
Upon receiving the notification, Ender sent a wisp of his consciousness into the Virtual Universe, arriving in the study of his estate in the Primal Secret Realm.
Sitting on the sofa, he had Little Dawn open the important email from the Virtual Universe Company.
Whoosh!
A light screen popped up, displaying the email subject: "Highest Points Mission Second Stage."
"The second stage of the mission came so quickly?" Ender felt puzzled, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition.
He lightly tapped his finger on the light screen, and the email immediately opened, revealing its content.
"This mission is the second stage of the Highest Points Mission."
"Mission Background: In the Ling Qing Star Region of the Yuan Chen Universe Country, there is a Koleto Family led by two Immortals, who established the intermediate universe country, Ling Qing Empire, here. This country enforces a high-pressure rule in the Ling Qing Star Region. Because the Ling Qing Empire provides some inhumane services, hundreds of millions of people die tragically every year."
"Because the Koleto Family is a branch of the Lorgar Tribe, few forces are willing to offend this Family, which has allowed this Family to continuously engage in these services, and even derive more insane services from them, even organizing activities that violate the Human Race's Laws."
"Mission Content: You need to apprehend one Immortal and 23 World Masters and Domain Masters from the Koleto Family who have violated Human Race Laws. The 23 World Masters and Domain Masters must be personally apprehended by you."
"After apprehending all targets, you must judge these 24 individuals. You can punish them according to their crimes."
"Punishment options include: 1. Death Penalty, 2. Imprisonment for one hundred years, 3. Imprisonment for ten thousand years, 4. Imprisonment for one million years, 5. Imprisonment for one hundred million years."
"How these 24 individuals are to be sentenced is entirely up to you, Ender. You can even impose the death penalty on all of them!"
"All choices are in your own hands!"
"During the entire mission execution, you must constantly maintain 'Virtual Universe Network synchronized transmission' of everything you do. It must be synchronized transmission. Only by thoroughly understanding your process and your punishment decisions… can your mission completion be ultimately assessed."
"1. If mission completion reaches 70%, you can proceed to the third stage of the mission."
"2. If mission completion is below 70%, the entire Highest Points Mission automatically ends."
"Note: Except for the Immortal, when punishing the other 23 individuals, you must personally take action, including any killing, capturing, and punishing from beginning to end. You are forbidden from using other forces. Your guard army only has the duty to protect you, not to execute the mission for you."
