Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[On the 73rd day, the remaining four people who accepted the mission arrived one after another. This time, the members didn’t change at all. It’s still the three members of the Universal Pirates and Kuang Dongzhe.
[Since everyone had arrived, Lin Fan released his Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceship and brought all of you to the depths of the universe.
[Just like before, Lin Fan signed a contract with all of you to make you feel at ease. Then, the Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceship quickly headed toward the Wasteland.
…
[On the 148th day, there were no accidents along the way. You arrived at the Crimson Flame star a few days earlier this time.
!!
[When everyone saw that it was a Grade 6 life star, they were all extremely shocked.
[This time, you broke through while traveling, reaching the 5th Chasm of the Sage Monarch realm. It was not because you were working hard in cultivation but because the managers of your great Daos were working too hard.
[Whether it was Bai Qi, Emperor Qin, or Confucius and company, their cultivation bases were improving at a rapid speed, as if they were flying. As a result, you had not been cultivating, yet the strength in your body was skyrocketing. In the end, you had no choice but to break through.
[Fortunately, you had concealed your cultivation base, and your breakthroughs did not cause any ripples in the s.p.a.ceship. As a result, no one knew you were a 5th Chasm Sage Monarch.
[As the s.p.a.ceship slowly descended, Sage Emperor Crimson Flame appeared and revealed their plan. They no longer hid themselves. Seizing the opportunity, you killed the Sage Emperor Crimson Flame with one strike and seized his three Sparks.
[As for the ones who had accepted the mission, you killed them since they had no value.
[As for Sage Emperor Crimson Flame’s disciple, Lin Fan, he watched in horror as you slowly walked in his direction.
…
[On the 151st day, you brought the Crimson Flame star and drove the s.p.a.ceship back to the human race. As for Lin Fan, you didn’t kill him. Given Lin Fan’s experience, he was undoubtedly an MC. If he hadn’t met you, he might have become a Sage Emperor or even a Supreme being in the future.
[How could you kill such a chosen one? You had to maximize the benefits. Hence, you bestowed the Devouring Dao to Lin Fan. You didn’t tell him directly but sneaked it into his body and made him think it was the great Dao that he had comprehended.
[Then, you banished Lin Fan to the Wasteland, and you left alone with his s.p.a.ceship.
[As for whether Lin Fan would be able to survive in the Wasteland, you were certain that a chosen one like him should be able to cope. If not, you’d better change the manager of your great Dao.]
…
[On the 155th day, your Devouring Dao instantly grew a lot. Your cultivation also reached the 6th Chasm of the Sage Monarch realm. You couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, you calmed down and tried to sense your Devouring Dao.
[Then, you couldn’t help but be stunned. This Lin Fan was really lucky. Not only was he saved, but even his personality had turned dark.
[Lin Fan, who had been wandering in the Wasteland, had been extremely exhausted due to the long flight. The Wasteland didn’t have any Spiritual Qi supply, so he couldn’t replenish his strength. Just when he was about to die, he was saved by a Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceship.
[This Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceship belonged to a couple of dao companions and their daughter. They happened to be human and went out to help Lin Fan.
[These people treated Lin Fan’s injuries and promised to bring him back to the human race.
[After Lin Fan recovered his cultivation, he was originally very normal. However, after he realized that he had comprehended the Devouring Dao, his personality seemed to have changed instantly. Not only did he sneak attack and kill that couple, but he even killed their Sage-level daughter, who followed her parents out to see the world. She was prepared to be humiliated and killed cruelly.
[Then, he used the Devouring Dao to devour all of the cultivation of the three people. Just like that, Lin Fan, who was stuck at the 9th Firmament of the Sageking realm, successfully reached the 1st Chasm of the Sage Monarch realm.
“Eh? What’s going on? The protagonist of destiny has turned dark?”
[You couldn’t help but be very puzzled. This kind of behavior was clearly something that only a villain would develop. He would repay kindness with enmity and be cruel and bloodthirsty.
[However, after thinking about how Lin Fan had plotted to recruit people for the Sage Emperor Crimson Flame, he had also used all sorts of means to increase his strength. It seemed that this Lin fan was a dark MC.
[You didn’t overa.n.a.lyze such matters. Whether it was good or bad, it was all done by Lin Fan himself. You only took his hand to increase your strength and didn’t have to bear the consequences of what he did.
[Thinking of this, you actually had high hopes for Lin Fan. With such a person helping you increase your power, you were really looking forward to the Devouring Dao’s future.]
…
[On the 167th day, you successfully returned to the human territory and entered the Skywater star.
[Confucius and the other two reached the Sage Monarch realm, so your cultivation successfully reached the 8th Chasm of the Sage Monarch realm.
[Bai Qi and the Earth G.o.ddess had reached the 9th Firmament of the Sageking realm, while Kong Xinyue was still a 1st Firmament Sageking.
[You were very confident in Bai Qi’s Dao of Slaughter. As long as he increased his cultivation steadily, your strength would also rise rapidly. Because the human race did not start a war with the Ghost race, Bai Qi didn’t enter a state of frenzied slaughter and destruction of life stars.
“With the current rate of increase, I don’t think Bai Qi will be possessed by his inner demon.”
[On the other hand, the Earth G.o.ddess’ speed of improvement surprised you. Although the Ocular Dao was heaven-defying, it wasn’t very useful for cultivation. Yet, the Earth G.o.ddess was able to raise her cultivation base to the 9th Firmament of the Sageking realm. Presumably, she had put in a lot of effort.
[You put your mind into the Ocular Dao and found some things.
[Originally, the female mercenary group the Earth G.o.ddess had joined was a newly established one. Although it was only a Rank 2 mercenary group, its leader was a 9th Chasm Sage Monarch.
[During a team mission, more than 40 members of the female mercenary group entered a mystic realm, and more than half of them died before they successfully completed the mission. The surviving members obtained treasures and inheritances, boosting their strength.
[The Earth G.o.ddess reached the 9th Firmament of the Sageking realm, while the 9th Chasm Sage Monarch successfully entered the Sage Emperor realm.
[Due to the presence of a Sage Emperor, their mercenary group became famous. Not only was it upgraded to a Rank 4 mercenary group, but it was also renamed as the Rose Mercenary Group. Its members also expanded rapidly. Now, it had several hundred members.
[As the Earth G.o.ddess was an elder, she was now the team leader of a small team.
[You were very satisfied with the Earth G.o.ddess’ performance. You must know that the Earth G.o.ddess didn’t come to you directly even though she knew you existed. Instead, she chose to go out by herself and go through hardships to increase her strength. Just this kind of hard work alone was enough to give you great recognition.
[Thinking about it, you even felt a little heartache. The Earth G.o.ddess was a very good woman. You were a little worried about leaving her alone outside.]
