My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 466 The Final Mission (Part 1)
The war between the five level-12 military commanders was truly epic.

Wang Lie, who had never seen much of the world, was thoroughly shocked.

Legionary beasts, technologically advanced warships, and magically powered weapons.

Every weapon of war you've ever seen, heard of, or imagined has appeared on this battlefield.

But after the initial surprise, Wang Lie composed himself—after all, it had nothing to do with him.

"Fly further away, so that our blood doesn't splatter on us."

Wang Lie gave the order, and the main warships of the Three Phases Gang slowly turned around and flew away.

As the warship flew away and came to a stop, footsteps sounded. Wang Lie turned his head and saw that the white-clad, white-browed, white-haired swordsman had come to his side and was standing slightly behind him.

Wang Lie grinned, his round face chuckling, "Brother Yao, who do you think will win this battle?"

The "Brother Yao" that Wang Lie mentioned is Bai Yao, the deputy leader of the Crossing the Sea Hall of the Three Phases Gang. He was Wang Lie's right-hand man in the past and also helped Xia Lin a lot.

However, Bai Yao is now somewhat unable to bear the title of "Brother Yao".

Five years have passed.

Bai Yao is still the deputy leader of the Crossing the Sea Hall of the Three Phases Gang, and an eleventh-level professional.

Wang Lie, on the other hand, has already been promoted to the head of the Crossing the Sea Hall of the Three Phases Gang!
Let me reintroduce him: Wang Lie, the head of the Crossing the Sea Hall of the Three Phases Gang, level twelve, a Martial God of the Returning to One Realm!
Seeing Wang Lie's unserious demeanor, Bai Yao sighed heavily, his thoughts a jumble of complex emotions.

Rumors from the Three Phases Gang suggest that something big is about to happen on Shining Blue Star.

Five years after the Ash Zone System disappeared, Shining Blue Star was covered by a strange thing called the Chosen System, and Wang Lie was one of the first Chosen Ones.

At first, nobody took this thing seriously.

The higher-ups of the Three Phases Gang all say that this is probably just a toy Xia Lin came up with to amuse himself, and it's not worth mentioning.

Until recently, when Wang Lie, at level twelve, left Shining Blue Star and rose to become a high-ranking member of the Three Phases Gang, the Three Phases Gang finally realized just how great an opportunity this Chosen System truly was!
All I can say is that time is destiny.

Despite being outshone by his former underling, Bai Yao remained relatively calm.

At this moment, Wang Lie asked a question, and Bai Yao made a simple assessment of the battle situation, giving a reasonable prediction based on the relevant intelligence of the Three Phases Gang.

"The outcome is still unknown, but this battle is likely to be quite long."

"Wang Laowu has the largest territory and the strongest strength, but the alliance of Wang Laoer and Wang Laosi is not weak either."

"The alliance between Boss Wang and Boss Wang San appears to be the weakest, but according to intelligence, Boss Wang seems to still be involved with the original dark side of the will..."

In conclusion, everyone has their own strengths, and no one is a pushover.

A three-way battle like this involves many factors and is unlikely to end anytime soon.

Thus, Wang Lie's thoughts shifted from this battle to the original dark side of the will.

Open the task panel and look at the Chosen One task.

[Six-Pillar Chosen Mission: Investigate the conspiracy of the Primal Dark Will and the Primal Cult.]

[Task Type: Collaborative]

[Current participants: Wang Lie, Nina, Fang Xiang, Gu Hua, Nelson, Eileen, Qu Tianhe...]

[Mission Time: Unlimited.]

[Reward for successful mission: Unknown.]

[Penalty for mission failure: None. 】

Wang Lie felt he had something to say: Xia Lin, if you want someone to handle this matter, you can just say so directly. There's no need for all this formality...

However, considering that Xia Lin had sealed off the Heavenly Palace three years ago and remained in seclusion, and who knows what he was up to, Wang Lie was also unsure of Xia Lin's current condition.

So they could only keep their complaints to themselves.

"The Primal Cult... well, that's probably what it's called."

"Isn't Wang Yanshan afraid of shooting himself in the foot and raising a tiger to cause trouble by cooperating with this thing?"

Wang Lie asked, and Bai Yao replied, "The situation is clear. Wang Laowu has the support of the King of Kings and the Queen, and the other seven brothers are all expendable."

"We don't know what kind of trouble the Wang family is up to... but it's clear that the eldest and second eldest Wang brothers are unwilling to accept their fate and have no choice but to take a gamble."

"In short, there's no need to think about it too much... We're just war correspondents. We'll record what's happening here and send it back to the gang, and that'll be our mission done."

Wang Lie muttered to himself: That's your task, but I have other tasks to complete...

However, considering that he was responsible for the Tianji Battlefield in this cooperative mission, he could only be patient and wait idly, placing his hopes on others.

……

Several months later, in the Luo Tian Star Region.

The former site of Luotianzong Temple.

Standing in the bustling metropolitan area, Nina, Nelson, Eileen, and Qu Tianhe looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, it was Nina, the Time Mage, who sighed softly, expressing a sentiment that came from the bottom of her heart.

"Time is indeed the best magic."

The once-great Luo Tian Sect was destroyed when the Primordial Ruler was born.

The subsequent descent of the ancient beings by the primordial ruler brought even greater misfortune to the entire Luo Tian Star Region.

However, in that round, the strong died first, while the weak mortals survived—the Primordial Ruler had no need to target these beings who were not even ants.

Thus, with these mortals as the spark, the entire Luo Tian Star Region regained its prosperity within just a few years. Even though it could not compare to the past, it still had its merits.

Walking along the bustling streets, Nina and her companions looked around and saw pedestrians coming and going. Apart from the sparse number of professionals and the almost complete absence of strong individuals, they could not discern any difference between this place and other places.

Nelson, standing nearby, began to recount the intelligence he had gathered about the place beforehand.

"Originally, this place was first ruled by the Immortal Emperor, and then fell into the hands of the Primordial Ruler. But since the Ash Zone system was shut down five years ago and the Primordial Ruler disintegrated, this place has become a no-man's-land."

"Several interstellar conglomerates have moved in one after another and dominated the order here. Ultimately, these people all have the shadow of the Six Pillars forces behind them."

The Demon Palace, the Three Kingdoms Gang, the various vassal states under the King of Kings, and so on...

It was a place where all sorts of people were mixed together and kept in check, but this actually brought peace and tranquility.

"Of course, peace and tranquility are just appearances. Father said that the Primal Cult's lair is here, so it must be here!"

Qu Tianhe spoke with absolute certainty, her words filled with trust in her father.

Her mother is Scarlett, and her father is undoubtedly Xia Lin...

Regarding this life created by the [Heavenly Soldier with Six Armors], Xia Lin does not deny the father-daughter relationship with her.

Over the next five years, he focused on nurturing Qu Tianhe, devoting all his energy to personally designing a complete skill system for her.

Eileen rolled her eyes: "They didn't say they weren't here..."

As she spoke, subtle fluctuations of skill energy emanated from her body.

Soon, Eileen found her footing and led the remaining three into a dark alley.

The four of them stopped at the back door of a bar.

Eileen stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the iron bars on the door opened, revealing a pair of yellowish, cloudy eyes.

"Who?"

"Death is my online name."

The words "death" made the person behind the door lower their guard, and a look of surprise appeared in their cloudy eyes.

"How do you prove it?"

Eileen blushed, but quickly deflated.

She said quickly in a weak tone, "First, I will absolutely not act impulsively!"

"Pfft."

Before Eileen could finish speaking, the people behind her burst out laughing.

But this familiar excuse actually dispelled the doubts of the person behind the door.

"OK, identity verification successful, you are now Mo Yang!"

"But who are these people behind you...?"

Eileen suppressed her embarrassment and anger, and said softly, "Didn't you need a high-level time mage? This busty beauty behind me is one, level eleven. As for the rest... you know, it's always good to bring a few more friends when you're out and about."

Nina puffed out her chest, deliberately exuding her aura.

However, he deliberately concealed his level twelve aura, only displaying the level eleven standard.

The person behind the door immediately became respectful. "Please wait a moment, I'll go find the vice leader right away."

……

This place is one of the strongholds of the Primal Cult.

Finding even a single stronghold of the original cult is proving to be extremely difficult right now.

Two years ago, Eileen began planning, finding clues online, and following that lead, the four of them finally arrived in the Luo Tian Star Region.

But how to proceed next is something we can only wait and see.

The vice leader arrived quickly, and Qu Tianhe twitched her nostrils slightly, sensing his aura.

"Breeding!?"

The former evil spirit of procreation has been transformed into the gentle, plump woman before me, radiating maternal warmth.

She may appear gentle and charming, but that doesn't change her true nature as an evil god.

"And he even reached level twelve..."

The former breeding evil god was only level eleven, but now it has reached the level twelve standard.

From this perspective, the original dark side consciousness has not wasted its time over the years; it has secretly laid out some grand scheme.

However, as a dark force hidden in the shadows, the Primal Cult has its own unique set of security measures.

After a few casual conversations, the woman revealed her needs—she needed some time, nothing more.

This obviously prevented Nina and the others from accessing the deeper secrets of the Primal Cult, but they couldn't abandon this route either.

We can only maintain this lead while secretly investigating in the Luo Tian Star Region and waiting.

……

Several days later, at the Heavenly Battlefield, in the central command tent of the Sea Kingdom.

After reviewing the memorials, the Second Prince Wang Yanhai began to receive today's visitors.

With the outbreak of war, numerous matters arise.

Various intelligence reports and visitors flocked to him, but Wang Yanhai handled them all in an orderly and perfect manner.

However, two of today's visitors piqued Wang Yanhai's interest.

Soon, the two men appeared in front of Wang Yanhai.

"Think about it from below."

"My name is Gu Hua."

"Meet the Second Prince."

Wang Yanhai carefully examined the two men.

Ignoring appearance and clothing, and focusing on the essence, Wang Yanhai quickly sighed.

"Xia Lin, are you alright?"

Fang Xiang and Gu Hua exchanged a glance, and Gu Hua nodded and said, "Of course it's good."

"Hmm, I guessed correctly... As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. You have all reached level twelve. I can also see from this that Xia Lin, though seemingly quiet, has made remarkable progress."

The so-called impressive progress naturally refers to the matter of the Six Pillars of Destiny.

Even though Wang Yanhai still doesn't know the truth about the absence of the six pillars in the Dark Realm, his intelligence allowed him to see the clues from a series of details and draw his own conclusion.

This current battle between brothers is essentially a battle of six pillars.

He considered himself to be the same as Xia Lin, both on the path to the Six Pillars.

Thinking of this, Wang Yanhai shifted to a more comfortable position and asked again.

"So, which side do you two represent here today?"

Fang Xiang, Xia Lin's friend, is also a member of the King of Kings.

He could represent Xia Lin, or he could represent Chen Qiu, the wife of the King of Kings.

Gu Hua is also Xia Lin's friend, but he is also involved with the Demon Palace.

He can represent Xia Lin, but he can also represent the Demon Temple.

Gu Hua and his companion didn't mince words and simply said, "We are here on behalf of ourselves... Second Prince, to be honest, we are both chosen ones, and we have come here to take advantage of our status to complete the tasks assigned by the chosen system."

Wang Yanhai raised an eyebrow. He had heard of the Chosen One System, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Speak plainly. I will help if I can."

Gu Hua spoke his request: "We want to see your prisoners, who are hungry."

In the past, in the Dark Realm, Hunger was captured by Wang Yanhai and is now sealed in the Sea Kingdom's Heavenly Prison, under strict guard.

Gu Hua didn't mention the word "hunger," and Wang Yanhai almost forgot about it altogether.

At this moment, the old friend brought it up again. After a brief thought, Wang Yanhai nodded and said, "This fiend is still in the capital of the Sea Kingdom. If you wish to see him, you can go there yourself with my letter."

"Oh, by the way, if you ever see Xia Lin, you may mention this matter briefly, as it would be a way to convey my goodwill."

Fang Xiang Gu Hua's expression brightened, but he also knew that today's trip was truly thanks to Xia Lin.

—Xia Lin has been away from the martial arts world for a long time, but his legend still lives on.

At least these high-ranking figures still couldn't forget Xia Lin.

……

Time flies, and several months have passed.

On the very day that Fang Xiang Gu Hua arrived in the capital of the Sea Kingdom, two figures appeared in front of an unusual wormhole at the edge of the universe.

One was from the ancient demon race, with a single head and six arms; the other was chaotic and uncertain, belonging to the rare Shadow Clan.

It was Donald and Shadow.

At this moment, the two possessed powerful and stable auras, emanating the aura of the Chosen System.

Not only had they become Chosen Ones long ago, but their strength level had also reached level twelve.

The two stood in front of the wormhole, carefully sensing its surroundings before quickly letting out a sigh of relief.

"This time, we've probably found the right place."

Donald murmured, his gaze filled with deep emotion, while Ying opened the mission panel and looked at the mission assigned by the Chosen System.

[Sixth-Pillar Level Chosen Mission: Locate the Ash Zone System and investigate its current state.]

[Task Type: Collaborative]

[Current participants: Donald, Shadow.]

[Mission Time: Unlimited.]

[Reward for successful mission: Unknown.]

[Penalty for mission failure: None. 】

As former members of the Demon Emperor's faction, the two of them truly endured a difficult period after Faceless, Ibira, and the Demon Palace all disappeared from the Ash Zone system.

The Demon Palace is entirely supported by the Demon Emperor and his soul pets; they are the very foundation of the Demon Palace.

Currently, the Demon Emperor has led most of his soul pets into the crystalline physical body, while Faceless and Ibira have embarked on the path of the Six Pillars with the Demon Palace.

This caused the entire Demon Palace faction to suddenly lose its leader, with no one to guide the overall situation; the sky had fallen. The young Donald had no choice but to personally take charge, but unfortunately, his level eleven strength was simply not enough to control the situation.

Fortunately, Xia Lin came to his aid, pulling him and Ying into the Chosen System and forcibly raising their strength to level twelve through special training, which stabilized the overall situation of the Demon Palace's forces.

The disappearance of the Ash Zone system is strongly correlated with the whereabouts of the Faceless Ibira Temple.

Even though Xia Lin subtly revealed that the Faceless Ibira was on the path to the Six Pillars, Donald was still worried and it had become a source of anxiety for him.

Recently, with the Chosen One system issuing the highest-level mission, Donald and Shadow immediately accepted it without hesitation. This was not only related to Xia Lin and the mission, but also to their journey of overcoming their inner demons.

They exchanged a glance, and Donald and Shadow entered the wormhole one after the other.

A familiar dizzying sensation washed over me, and the next second, the world around me had completely changed.

Meanwhile, on the Blue Star, inside the Heavenly Palace.

His indifferent eyes slowly opened, focusing his gaze on Donald and Shadow.
