Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 50 A complete madman

Shock! Horrification! Upon hearing this, Ling Chuan had already grasped the true meaning of these lines!

This is the start of the main storyline! And it's not just any ordinary main storyline!

If the divine revelations we experience now and in the future are the overt main storyline of the Divine Revelation Continent, then what Zhang Meng is revealing now is the hidden main storyline from the ancient times of the Divine Revelation Continent! It relates to the cataclysm of the gods! It relates to the ultimate artifacts! It also relates to all the hidden secrets related to ancient history! Furthermore, it is the very starting point for players to unlock ancient legacies and explore hidden mysteries!!

Listening intently and eagerly extracting information, Ling Chuan, as if injected with adrenaline, opened the text and frantically recorded every word Zhang Meng said!

"Realizing this, I rekindled my plan to travel the continent, because in this remote little village, the limitations were too great, and it was impossible to gather any information."

"However, when I had packed everything and was ready to set off, an unknown force enveloped the village, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't step out of the village gate!"

amount……

Ling Chuan paused for a moment in the record, feeling somewhat emotional. He really wanted to tell Zhang Meng that the unknown power was called the system core, also known as the supreme command. After all, the server was about to open, and the NPCs had to stand in their respective positions. No matter how intelligent Zhang Meng was, he was still just an NPC. If he were to explain these contents that were clearly prohibited by the program to him, it would definitely trigger the "idiot mode".

"I was disappointed, but strangely I didn't feel any resistance, just like my decision to revisit the mainland was an impulsive one."

Yes, that's a system fix.

"And so, I accepted my fate and decided to spend my life guarding this land. But a year ago, when I was going through the village chief's bookshelf again, I found a torn page of a history book that had fallen to the inside of the bookshelf. On that torn page, an event was recorded: the return of the vanished."

"According to the records, a human general who was caught up in the River of the Dead returned to the continent. Due to the incompleteness of the pages, there was only this one sentence in the record, but this one sentence alone stirred up a storm in my calm heart."

"The River of the Underworld is not a deadly abyss; those who fall in are not necessarily wiped out. Since this general was able to return to the continent, could my brother have the same possibility?!"

"Once this thought arose, it could never be erased. Unfortunately, no matter what I tried, I could not break free from the shackles of that force. I can only wait here in despair until... your appearance."

Ling Chuan suddenly looked up, but didn't say anything.

"We are bound by fate, and I sense the same fragmented aura emanating from you. I am certain that you are the one I entrust with my mission, my dear brother! May I accept my last request?"

[Ding] System notification: You have triggered the unique, premium-level main quest [The Hunter King's Request]. Do you wish to accept it?

The unique and supreme-level main storyline—he guessed the result, but not the quality. He stared blankly at the system prompt, lingering on the title for a long time: Hunter Emperor… This is Zhang Meng's true title?
“My dear brother! I know this is selfish, but you are the only one I can rely on.”

"Brother Zhang, you're too kind. Your help to me is as solid as a mountain, how could I refuse your request?"

With righteous indignation, Ling Chuan emphasized the point of acceptance!
"accept!"

[Ding] System notification: You have accepted the unique, supreme-level main quest [The Hunter King's Request], now changed to [The Hunter King's Entrustment]. Please listen to Zhang Meng's request and then choose whether to accept. "Brother!"

[Ding] System notification: It has been detected that [Hunter Zhang Meng]'s favorability towards you has exceeded the limit. Congratulations on gaining [Hunter Zhang Meng]'s extreme recognition and obtaining the title [Hunter Emperor's Successor]. This title will be upgraded to [Hunter Emperor] when your strength is sufficient.

[Ding] System notification: You have unlocked the title system. As you are the first player in the entire server to obtain the title, you are rewarded with Legendary Glory +5, Gold Coins +10, Luck +2, and Reputation Points +1000.

[Ding] System notification: You have activated the reputation system. As you are the first player in the entire server to activate the reputation system, you are rewarded with Legendary Glory +5, Gold Coins +10, and Luck +2.

……

The three system notifications in succession left Ling Chuan somewhat bewildered. The title system and the reputation system were things that could only be unlocked after entering the main city and completing the professional advancement in his previous life, but he had achieved them all at level 13.

“Brother, I know you will soon leave this village. I have only three requests: to find out the secrets of the River of the Dead, to enter the ancient labyrinth, and to determine my brother’s fate. Regardless of time, I only ask for a result.”

[Ding] System notification: The unique, top-tier main quest [The Hunter King's Entrustment] has been announced. Do you wish to accept it?

"accept!"

[Ding] System notification: You have accepted the unique, supreme-level main quest [The Hunter King's Entrustment]. When the time is right, enter the ancient labyrinth [???], unravel the secrets of the River of the Underworld, confirm the life and death of the Hunter King's brother, and complete the quest to receive unimaginable rewards! This quest has no time limit and no penalty for failure.

At this point, the entire task process is complete, and both enlightenment and questions arise simultaneously.

It's clear that the conditions for triggering this task are: first, having a 100% affinity with Zhang Meng before triggering the task; and second, possessing at least one Ultimate Fragment.

This reveals two foreshadowing elements planted by the designers: why Zhang Meng's personality was designed to be so harsh and savage, and why there's a fixed method to obtain the Ultimate Fragment Artemis in the starting village. The answer is clear: the former can prevent a massive number of players from trying to win him over, while the latter prepares the trigger conditions for players who actually manage to win Zhang Meng's heart.

Without the former, even if the latter were obtained, Artemis would not be complete; after all, no one would know that the largest fragment of Artemis was in Zhang Meng's hands.

As for the questions, they come from the clues provided by the unique and supreme main storyline.

First, what conditions constitute "when the time is right"? Is it a sufficient level? Or are there other requirements?
Secondly, although we are told that we are going to enter the Ancient Labyrinth, the name of the labyrinth is four question marks. This can only mean one thing: the labyrinth is not open yet, or its randomness is very high and needs to be combined with time factors, such as a certain event, or a certain specific triggering condition.

Third, unraveling the secret of the River of the Underworld isn't an unsolved mystery. Zhang Meng had already given a hint: the Supreme Fragments can react with the water of the River of the Underworld. Clearly, the ability to unravel the secret of the River of the Underworld is inextricably linked to the Supreme Artifact. However, Zhang Meng never mentioned the concept of the Supreme Artifact. Therefore, if he didn't have a basic understanding of Supreme Artifacts from his previous life, this question, while not entirely unsolved, would become a fatal obstacle to completing this quest.

In summary: the guy who designed this mission is a complete madman. Either he never intended for anyone to complete the mission, or the power of the Ultimate Artifacts far exceeded his predictions and could even directly disrupt the game balance, which is why they designed the mission to be so ridiculously difficult!
However, they may never know that, above the abnormal difficulty of the mission, there is an even more abnormal reborn being.
