I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 758: Chapter 397: The Secret of Qi Luck_2

At the same time.

In the Demon World, beings who had intended to observe the situation in the real world seemed to have seen something, and as the Heavenly Clan Expert turned to ashes, all their expressions changed.

Dongchen State, Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, Picking Stars Peak.

Right now, the second round of the elimination tournament was in full swing, but nobody knew that at the summit of Picking Stars Peak, more than a dozen Demonic Emperors had gathered.

In front of these Demonic Emperors, an old man with white hair, looking as if he was on the verge of death, was staring into the void where a spatial channel was clearly visible.

A hint of golden light flickered in the eyes of the old man, as if his gaze could penetrate the spatial channel and see the circumstances of the real world.

The other Demonic Emperors were also staring at the spatial channel, each using their own methods to try to see the scene on the other side.

Suddenly, the old man about to die said in a low voice, “A Saint-level has perished in that world!”

“Saint-level?”

“Perished?”

The more than ten Demonic Emperors were stunned, their brains taking a moment to catch up.

How could there be a Saint-level in a world with only three King-level beings? And to have perished there, what was going on?

Everyone looked towards the old man, but unfortunately, he did not elaborate, saying only, “It seems that the world where the Outsiders come from is not as simple as we thought.”

“Besides us, there are other races targeting that world.”

…

After reappearing at the departure point, Su Nan first went back to the middle of Picking Stars Peak to check on the progress of the elimination tournament.

Only twenty minutes or so had passed since the start of the elimination round, and the combatants on the arena had reached only numbers twelve and thirteen, leaving a long wait until his number seventy-two.

He then checked the World Chat.

The World Chat was already in an uproar, with countless players cheering and celebrating, even those not from Hua Country joining in the joy.

“Good, no accidents occurred.”

Even though he already knew the outcome of the Heavenly Clan Expert, Su Nan still sighed with relief internally, as this crisis had been averted for the moment.

As for the previous prediction that mentioned the real world had been located, he did not pay too much attention to it.

Now was not the time to worry about these things.

Assured that nothing unexpected had taken place, he then had time to look at the game notice that had popped up earlier.

[The Fourth Public Test has begun, with a quota of one billion people. After this public test, once players’ bloodlines reach Great Accomplishment in the game, Bloodline Power will be synchronized with the real world.]

[After this public test, should a player die within the game, they will lose two resurrection opportunities, and they will only be able to log in to the game again two days later.]

[After this public test, players using the Game Bracelet to directly enter the game will permanently die if their game character dies.]

[A thirty-day Mainline Task “Luck Child” has begun. The top one hundred in the final ranking will receive a mass of extra rewards. For detailed tasks, please go to the Task Panel to check.]

The notice outlined the changes for this public beta test, which had already been announced once before, and nothing was worth noting except for the Luck Child task.

Su Nan quickly skimmed through and immediately opened the Task Panel.

On the panel, today’s Daily Tasks had been refreshed. Even without looking, Su Nan knew that today’s tasks wouldn’t be much different from yesterday’s.

Glancing over Lang Thirteen’s tasks, it was as expected. What was there yesterday was also there today, the only difference being a new task had appeared in the Mainline Task section.

[Mainline Task: Luck Child]

[Fortune ebbs and flows like a tide, swelling and receding at times. When it swells, the Spiritual Mechanism revives, and multitudes of races rise up. When it recedes, all of heaven falls silent, and stars fall. Tens of thousands of years ago, the luck between Heaven and Earth shifted from prosperity to decline, and to this day, it has reached the bottom of the valley.]

[However, this is not the end. On the contrary, it is just the beginning. In the not-too-distant future, the celestial fortune will be completely exhausted, and the heavens will fall into a long silence, with all things withering away.]

[Heaven and Earth, sensing the sorrow of living beings, thus gathered the luck of the heavens and gave the creatures a glimmer of hope for transcendence. As a member of the heavens, you have the qualifications to compete for that glimmer of hope.]

[But before that, you must stand out among your own race to attain sufficient Racial Luck and become the Luck Child.]

Upon reading this, Su Nan’s expression changed slightly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The celestial fortune is about to be completely exhausted? Everything in the heavens is to fall silent?

What is happening? Wasn’t it supposed to be the revival of the Spiritual Mechanism?

Wasn’t it agreed that a golden age was approaching? How come it suddenly became the eve of the end times?

“After all this time, the restoration of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality in the game world was just the last flicker of light before dusk. Once that flicker ends, the entire world will fall silent.”

Su Nan did not know what it would be like when the myriad heavens fell silent, or what would happen, but even a fool would know that it was definitely not a good thing.

Could it be that when the time comes, it would be the end of the world, with all beings falling and all things destroyed, and it seems that this time will not be very long!

Continued to read on.

[Mainline Task First Step: Become one of the top ten thousand luck persons among your race.]

[Task Difficulty: Four-star]

[Task Reward: One drop of Ancient Demon Essence Blood, one copy of the Ancient Demon Sutra, 500 points of Racial Luck, 500 points of Heaven-Earth Luck]

[Countdown: 10 Days]

[Note: Ways to obtain Racial Luck include, but are not limited to, killing those whose luck surpasses yours during the task period, doing things of great Contribution to the race, obtaining the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse…]

[Players can go to the Personal Information Panel to view their racial luck ranking. The ranking only shows one hundred ranks above and below your current position.]

[Attention: This task is an elimination mission. Players must complete the previous step before the task ends in order to qualify to start the next step.]

“Become one of the top ten thousand great luck persons in one’s race!”

Su Nan was shocked; the requirement might not sound high, but the difficulty was enormous.

The number of human warriors might seem small, and the number of warriors in a state might not add up to much, but what if you combined all twelve states?

The task requirement referred to one’s race, not one state, naturally including all humans.

There were many factors that affected the amount of Celestial fortune; some people were born as great luck persons, while others were plagued by misfortune from birth. But one thing remained constant: the Realm!

The higher the Realm, the stronger the luck. In such circumstances, to enter the top ten thousand among all humans, being Xuan-level was far from enough, unless other ways could be found to gain luck.

“This is the case for humans, not to mention the demon clan. To enter the top ten thousand ranks within the demon clan, even King Level might not be enough!”

The more Su Nan analyzed, the more shocked he became. This task was not designed for ordinary players; only top players like him qualified to participate.

Moreover, unlike the previous tasks, this one resembled a real mainline task. Only by completing the previous stage could one proceed to the next.

Thus, for ordinary players, there was no chance of taking part in subsequent tasks; they were destined to be eliminated.

“Right, I don’t seem to have to do this task with my other identity!”

Suddenly, Su Nan remembered his identity within the Demon Race and his eyes brightened.

The number of demon beasts was fixed at three thousand, which meant that even if he did nothing, he could still complete the first stage of the task, right?

“I wonder what my current ranking in luck is.”

He immediately looked at the Personal Information Panel and found the Luck Ranking.

[569th Place, Name: Bing Jiu. Realm: Early Stage of Emperor Level. Luck Possessed: 2332]

[570th Place, Name: Kuimu Hai. Realm: Early Stage of Emperor Level. Luck Possessed: 2324]

…

[569th Place, Name: Hui Er. Realm: Peak King-level. Luck Possessed: 1858]

[570th Place, Name: Lang Thirteen. Realm: Early King Rank. Luck Possessed: 1853]

…

Lang Thirteen’s ranking appeared before his eyes, which reflected the ranking among all of the demon clan, not just the players’ rankings.

The ranking list displayed the hundred ranks around one’s position, and the top ranks were uniformly at the Early Stage of Emperor Level, until the one hundred and first place, which was Su Nan’s rank at 570th.

“Lang Thirteen’s luck ranking among the entire demon clan has actually reached over five hundred!”

Su Nan was surprised, as the current results were beyond his expectations.

He knew his ranking might be somewhat high, but he did not expect to be directly within the top six hundred!

To know that those ranking before and after him, at the least, were Peak King-level, and there he was, an Early King Rank, wedged in the middle, just like a husky mixed among a pack of financial wolves.

But he quickly understood why that was the case.
