Chapter 852: 851.【Torrential Rain】 Chapter 852: 851.【Torrential Rain】 [Knowledge: 10000000/10000000]

[Congratulations on completing your professional development task]

[Settlement will now begin]

[Task Exploration: 300%]

[Complete Task Situation: Indescribable]

[You have collected enough knowledge to take the first step on the divine path. Your followers are spread across foreign domains, and their actions have become historical anchors. Next, it is time to sublimate your true self and push this work to its final climax]

[Silence Points acquired: 300,000]

[Settlement completed]

[Please complete the task and receive the reward]

In Lu Ban’s vision, the cold and indifferent text of the Silent Lands twisted and emerged.

He confirmed that the players he had dispatched had not all returned yet, but the knowledge had accumulated to a sufficient level.

It seemed that Lu Ban’s method was quite successful, achieving an indescribable evaluation.

Moreover, from the task description, his path should be correct.

Next, Lu Ban would need to truly sublimate his existence, becoming an entity akin to an Ancient Overlord.

Speaking of which, Lu Ban discovered from the knowledge that players had gathered during their explorations in foreign domains, that not all Ancient Overlords were beings unreachable by humans.

Some Ancient Overlords that had existed since time immemorial were indeed great—so much so that simply knowing their names could drive all creatures who heard them into madness.

However, some stemmed from later beings that had ascended, essentially stronger creatures. Although they possessed certain immortal traits, their reflections in the real world could be shattered and expelled.

As for the Outer Gods, they are the real Supreme Gods, towering above the Ancient Overlords.

Even the incarnations of the Clan could rival some of the Ancient Overlords.

Of course, Lu Ban did not seriously distinguish the various levels of Ancient Overlords. He did not concoct any sort of tier system like low-level Ancient Overlords, high-level Ancient Overlords, half-step Outer Gods, or full circle of Ancient Overlords.

As long as one transcended human existence, one could be called an Ancient Overlord.

However, Lu Ban’s body was already undergoing significant mutation due to the knowledge. He needed to occasionally remedy the mutations by melting them away.

This would only remove the external appearance, not the root cause. As long as Lu Ban retained his human form, scales would still grow from his skin, and his organs would continue to consume each other. Within a day, Lu Ban could transform from a human to a mass of rotting flesh.

However, the problem was not severe and was still acceptable.

He confirmed the completion status of the task and then considered his next moves.

According to his original plan, Lu Ban was supposed to go to the Abandoned Capital to find Charlotte and obtain the final material to extract the “Testament” Essence.

But after hearing Shia’s words, he became interested in the Wasteland.

Lu Ban was now missing only the last piece of Du Danping’s Melody Fragment to complete his collection, and it seemed easier to just ask Du Danping directly.

Moreover, Lu Ban roughly understood why Du Danping told Shia that his situation was bad—his current bodily state was indeed terrible, a feeling of being less than human.

At the same time, Lu Ban felt it necessary to meet Du Danping in person to confirm some matters.

“Let’s see the next task.”

Lu Ban looked forward, where the wall’s patterns twisted and flowed, forming the System’s text.

[Detecting disturbances, repositioning task]

“Hmm?”

This prompt had appeared not for the first time. A similar announcement had been made during the last task. Lu Ban suspected he might already have been targeted by some great entity, designated to journey to some specific foreign domain.

[Torrential Rain]

[A monumental rain unprecedented in the Wasteland has arrived unexpectedly]

[The barren lands left traces of life, human footprints following one after another, cities established, the flames of civilization rekindled. After a prolonged wait, an answer was finally greeted]

[However, in this torrential rain, countless wills surged, each wanting to leave its own mark]

[A Saint of Utopia is about to abdicate, with successors fighting endlessly. But no one knew, beneath this power play lay an even more profound and indescribable game]

[You arrive in this city; some cheer for the past, some are filled with longing for the future, while others see the crises of the present and choose their sides to help them achieve victory]

[“Who would have thought that what our ancestors went through thousands of years ago, we would experience again. This time, can we carve a different path?”]

[Task Difficulty: Splendid]

The task description appeared before Lu Ban, filled with an ominous feeling.

Lu Ban had already experienced tasks of [Splendid] difficulty, all involving contact with Splendid Realms and touching some core pollutions of foreign domains.

And this time, clearly, it was the Wasteland.

Lu Ban had never seen a living Saint, but even a cadaver of a Saint possessed tremendous power. This task obviously involved maneuvering within the city among the Saint’s successors.

And also needed to choose a faction to oppose, possibly encountering other Chosen by Gods from different domains.

Moreover, this task included no companions. He wondered how Stone was doing.

“Either way I have to go to the Abandoned Capital; I should see him then.”

Lu Ban thought for a moment; those who had accompanied him so far had not fared well, so he could only wish Stone good luck.

He had no other choice but to proceed with this task.

The patterns on the wall moved, causing a chilling twist before presenting the task objectives.

[Task Objective: Choose a faction, help secure the position of the Saint]

[Task Objective: Survive until the torrential rain ends]

These were straightforward and understandable objectives, unlike the cryptic tasks from before.

According to Lu Ban’s reasoning, forcefully completing this task was probably not feasible; just eliminating the other successors to become the next Saint would likely invite sanctions from the current unelevated Saint.

And as for exploiting loopholes, Lu Ban was not very skilled at that.

As for the other objective, it was plain and simple.

Survive.

While deep in thought, the text continued.

[Confrontation Task]

[Potential hostile Chosen by Gods may appear, please eliminate hostile Chosen by Gods and complete the task]

“Confrontation task, as expected, there are other Chosen by Gods from different domains.”

Lu Ban felt he was getting close to understanding the routines of the Silent Lands.

Since it was a [Splendid] difficulty task, then Lu Ban definitely needed to prepare before going.

With that in mind, he decided to absorb some knowledge and task information from the foreign domains.

Opening the Silent Department Store, Lu Ban quickly found the Madman’s Knowledge and without hesitation, clicked on a ten-pull.
