Chapter 002: Task

What is meant by normal development? asked Feng Zhuhong

The various tasks released by the Time-Space Temple can be divided into five levels: Simple, Normal, Difficult, Hell, and Nightmare. In Simple tasks, as long as one follows the procedures and avoids trouble, everyone can survive. In Normal tasks, the mortality rate is approximately 20%. In Difficult tasks, the mortality rate is 50%. In Hell tasks, the mortality rate is 90%. In Nightmare tasks, the mortality rate is 99%

It seems you have adapted quickly; entering the Temple of Time and Space, often only those who are perceptive like you can survive!" The demon chuckled in a rather peculiar tone and then continued speaking:

After waiting for one month, this task was completed very easily

Hehe

Upon hearing this, both Feng Zhuhong and Zhou Zheng's expressions changed slightly

"This is not just your task; it is the task of all of us!" said the demon. "Therefore, we are companions and must work together!"

In the material world, this is almost always the case; I have encountered such a situation once before! Therefore, I must remain low-key from now on, and the task of negotiating with the individuals we are protecting must be entrusted to you and the Lightning Sword Master!" The demon Helke said in a very calm tone.

"Space-time point?" asked Feng Zhuhong

So cruel! Zhou Zheng felt a slight chill in his heart

The Grandmaster level? It should also be the mundane sixth tier! Helke nodded again, at this moment, his gaze fell on the female mage beside him

Zhou Zhengxin thought to himself, without hesitation, he directly said: "I, the Lightning Swordmaster, possess strength at the title level and excel in direct combat"

In my hometown, your identity is the greatest surprise. If it were discovered that you are a demon, I fear that powerful transcendent beings would immediately come to kill you, and it would even implicate us

The realms of the divine, the abyss, and the material world are all gathered together! This thought flashed through Zhou Zheng's mind

The most important point is that since the second team did not appear at the same time as us, but rather half a day later, in the eyes of the Temple of Time and Space, their overall strength must be greater than ours

In other words, we have become the reincarnators of the Temple of Time and Space, and we are currently experiencing the first task?" Zhou Zheng looked at the seemingly seasoned demon and asked this question.

The entire Tianyu Universe can be roughly divided into three parts: the Divine Realm, the Abyssal World, and the Material Realm. He hails from the Xia Clan of the Material Realm, Helke is an Abyssal Demon, and now we have a being from the Divine Realm. Isn't that just perfect

A voice emerged from that life form, and it continued: "I come from the Eastern Divine Realm, my name is Jite, my strength is at the sixth level of the mundane, and I excel in defense and protection"

Why is the extraordinary referred to as extraordinary? It is because it completely transcends the mundane

"If I am not mistaken, you must be a being from the divine realm!" Helke squinted and asked, "What is your opinion? Do you intend to cooperate with us, or do you plan to act alone?"

This task also reminds me that another team will arrive in half a day

Our mission this time has been classified as ordinary level. In other words, under normal circumstances, it is possible that one of the four of us may die, but it is also possible that all of us will survive

Indeed, we are currently engaged in a task, or rather, we are within the preparation period for the task! The flow of time in our current location is a million times faster than that of the outside world, where time is almost at a standstill relative to this place! This period is designated for our preparations, and when the flow of time returns to normal, that will mark the official commencement of this task. Therefore, without further ado, let us get down to business!

This figure is entirely silver, with four arms and two legs, lacking a mouth and nose, and only a pair of pitch-black eyes exposed on the outside

In summary, within the Temple of Time and Space, without any temporal and spatial points, it can be said that progress is nearly impossible

Our current mission is set within a world in the material realm. None of us are clear about the situation here, but it is undeniable that a complete world must certainly harbor some immensely powerful beings, including transcendent entities, demigods, and even deities... If we were to provoke such existences, what was originally a task of ordinary level would likely instantaneously transform into a hellish or even nightmarish level

... ...

It means to act discreetly and not to provoke those we cannot afford to provoke, " Hercul said in a low voice

As for the female mage named Feng Zhuhong, she may come from the material realm or from the divine realm; she does not disclose this information, and Zhou Zheng is unable to make a judgment.

Since we are already acquainted, let us discuss the task!

Although this task is named ordinary level, it does not seem to be that safe

In the world of Jiuyuan, the Wang family, the overlord of Heifeng City, is about to face retaliation from the newly emerged extraordinary being, Weierke. My task is to protect the Wang family from being exterminated within a month!" said the female mage.

Even the most prestigious titles among the mundane can hardly withstand a few moves in the hands of the truly extraordinary

"is the currency used for passage within the Temple of Time and Space. Through the time-space points, one can exchange it for various treasures at the Temple of Time and Space, seek guidance from powerful individuals, and also observe the battles of some strong warriors..." said Helke

Then there is another team at https://mhetushu! If I am not mistaken, the task of the other team must be to assist the newly emerged extraordinary Velco in taking revenge on the Wang family! If our two teams are in conflict, then by eliminating the members of this team, we will gain additional time-space points. Similarly, if the members of the other team kill us, they will also receive extra time-space points

You are quite right! Herkle nodded and said:

There, there is another figure

The female mage remained silent, but it was not difficult to discern from her expression that she was somewhat reluctant to collaborate with a demon

"How do we collaborate?" Zhou Zheng asked.

The demon smiled calmly

The content of the task, you all should be aware of. If not, you may carefully recall the information conveyed to you by the Temple of Time and Space!" said the demon

Some titles may possess combat experience or realms that surpass the extraordinary, yet they will still be completely suppressed by the extraordinary, as the powers of the two are not on the same level, and the gap is too vast

After a moment of silence, the female mage then spoke: "Feng Zhuhong, a Grandmaster-level mage, is proficient in water and ice attribute spells"

Cooperation

The title of Thunder Blade Swordsman was acquired by Zhou Zheng while challenging various strong opponents in the Great Xia world, and it is just the right time to use it now

If the goal is merely to protect the royal family from extermination within a month, that is too simple. We could easily choose a direct descendant of the royal family, take them away, and then hide them

However, in this way, we can only obtain the minimum number of spacetime points, which is almost equivalent to wasting an opportunity for a standard-level task

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhuhong said nothing further, but Zhou Zheng suddenly remarked:

Let me start! I, Helke, am a first-tier demon, roughly equivalent to the flying-level extraordinary beings in your material realm, and I excel in direct combat

... ...

"Then how can one earn more time-space points?" Zhou Zheng inquired

Hearing the words of this demon, Zhou Zheng felt a slight heaviness in his heart, realizing that this demon possessed extraordinary strength

This world of the Nine Origins, I wonder if it is truly so

I speculate that the more members of the Wang family survive after one month, the more temporal points we will be able to obtain" Herke continued to say

Complex thoughts flashed rapidly through Zhou Zheng's mind. Having regained his composure, he slowly lowered his right hand, which had been gripping the hilt of the sword behind him

We are collaborating for the first time, so do not expect any in-depth cooperation. However, we can communicate about the most basic aspects such as names, strengths, and the areas in which you excel, all of which are open for discussion!" said the demon.

And you?

"Title level? It should be the mundane sixth tier!" The demon Helke nodded slightly, showing no signs of surprise on his face. He then turned to the female mage and asked:

This person has been present from the very beginning, but has remained silent all along
