Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 102 Highest Score Mission: Hunting Immortal Gods

"The points-based tasks have finally been released."

With a thought, Shen Mu sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe to check the mission description.

Over the years, while Shen Mu was cultivating in seclusion, he was also waiting for the points-based tasks to be assigned.

Only after completing the points-based tasks can a Domain Lord-level member apply to end their external posting and gain the right to re-enter the Chaos City of the Initial Universe for enlightenment.

Of course, unlike the cosmic level, the domain lord level can cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City for three hundred years.

In the virtual universe, in the Rain Mountain plane, in Shen Mu's study.

"The highest score mission for a primary-level member of the original region?"

"It seems the company also wants me to finish my domain lord-level external assignment as soon as possible."

Generally, core members of the company will receive points-based tasks from time to time, and there is no limit to the number.

However, one thing is certain: after completing the highest score task, one can directly apply to end the domain lord-level external training.

Shen Mu's gaze fell on the contents of the email.

"This task is the highest-scoring task for members of the Primal Secret Realm (Domain Lord level), and the entire task is divided into four stages."

The first stage offers a maximum of 10 points, with rewards based on completion rate. For example, if 70% is completed, the reward is 10 points (7 multiplied by 70%).

The second ring has a maximum of 20 points.

The third ring offers a maximum of 30 points.

The fourth ring has a maximum of 40 points.

Additional Rewards: If all four ring tasks are completed, Virtual Universe Company will award bonus points based on the overall performance of the four ring tasks. The minimum bonus points are 0, and the maximum is 100 million points.

Each stage awards points based on completion rate. A task must be at least 80% complete before proceeding to the next stage; otherwise, the stage with the highest score will automatically end.

After reading it, Shen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that he could just give up and end the external transfer as soon as possible.

The highest score you can get from the entire mission is 200 million points, which is basically of no help to Shen Mu now.

"If it's 20 billion, then it's worth taking seriously."

Shen Mu shook his head slightly, then opened the attachment for the first round of points tasks.

"The first stage of the mission is the first and most important step in the entire mission with the highest score! This step determines whether you can continue to the next stage, and it also sets the basic tone for the additional rewards after the fourth stage. Therefore, you must complete this stage of the mission carefully."

Task content:

After a thorough investigation, Virtual Universe Company confirmed that the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch had engaged in numerous clandestine transactions that violated company regulations over the past million years.

The company suffered losses exceeding one billion Hunyuan units, either directly or indirectly. The main responsible persons were the three ministers of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom: Zidian Hou, Heiyan Hou, and Jinyu Hou.

The following are detailed materials regarding the violations and relevant regulations of the Virtual Universe Company. You need to personally refer to the regulations and materials to make a judgment on the three ministers of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch.

The options for sentencing are: 1. Exile to a foreign battlefield as atonement.

2. He was dismissed from his post and sentenced to ten thousand years in prison in the First Star Region;

3. He was dismissed from his post and sentenced to ten thousand years in prison in the Ninth Star Region;

4. The Eighteenth Star Region Prison for Ten Thousand Years.

The choice is entirely in your own hands.

Throughout the entire mission, the virtual universe network must be kept synchronized at all times.

All your actions must be recorded. Only by understanding your process in detail and the punishment decisions made can we ultimately assess your task completion.

If the task completion rate is below 80%, the entire highest-scoring task will automatically end.

After reading the first part of the mission, Shen Mu shook his head helplessly.

"This mission is clearly designed to make me offend people, which is bad luck for these three giants."

According to Shen Mu's estimation, the three giants' illegal profits amounted to at most 30 to 40 million Mixed Yuan Units. Ninety-nine percent of the losses exceeding one billion were incurred by using company resources to do favors for personal connections.

After a moment's thought, Shen Mu sent a screenshot of the mission details to the three giants, letting them weigh the consequences themselves.

At the same time, Shen Mu also left a message: "Ministers, I don't want to be ruthless. This points task is dispensable to me, but at least I have to give the company an explanation."

Of the four punishments, the lightest is undoubtedly the first one, which only requires redeeming oneself through meritorious service, and one will return as the powerful head of a branch of a high-level universe nation. This is clearly not a punishment, but merely a formality.

The second punishment was undoubtedly too lenient. The First Star Domain Prison was generally used to imprison ordinary Immortal Army Lords, and even then, the weakest kind.

The third punishment is the most justified. The Ninth Star Domain prison holds only those who have been granted the title of Marquis and are immortal. Even if these three giants were to enter, they would inevitably suffer some hardships, but their lives would not be in danger.

As for the last type, the punishment is too severe. The Eighteenth Star Domain Prison is a harsh cosmic secret realm where even a King-level Immortal would find it difficult to survive. It is generally used to imprison peak King-level experts.

……

As soon as Shen Mu sent out an email, the three giants could no longer remain calm.

Inside the palace on Amethyst Island, on the continent of Qianwu.

The three giants gathered together, and although they tried to maintain normal expressions, they still could not hide their uneasy feelings.

Jin Yuhou spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hei Yan, Monkey... what's your choice?"

Purple Lightning Marquis remained silent, his gaze fixed on the alluring Black Annihilation Marquis.

Marquis Heiyan took a deep breath and said, "His Highness Shen Mu has already done more than enough by directly informing us of the mission details. We cannot be too greedy."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Zidian nodded in agreement: "Indeed, although His Highness Shen Mu asked the three of us to discuss the matter among ourselves..."

"But the final decision still rests with His Highness. If we are ungrateful, the consequences could be dire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After a long silence, Marquis Jin Yu finally spoke, "It's just the Ninth Star Domain. With our strength, we won't be in any danger. Don't make things difficult for Prince Shen Mu. Let's consider this a final favor; perhaps we'll need his guidance in the future."

"Alright." Marquis Zidian nodded slightly.

Of the three present, his case was the most serious; even if he were thrown into the Eighteenth Star Region, it wouldn't be entirely unjust.

After making their decisions, the three marquises sent Shen Mu an email reply.

……

Earth, Kyoto.

Shen Mu sat cross-legged on the rooftop, glancing at the emails sent by the three giants.

"These three are all shrewd people."

Shen Mu didn't waste any words and directly delivered his verdict: ten thousand years in prison in the Ninth Star Region. He then submitted the verdict to the Virtual Universe Company.

However, to Shen Mu's surprise, just over half an hour later, he received an email indicating the completion status of the first task.

"You have completed the first stage of the highest-scoring task. After evaluation by the members, Shen Mu, your final completion rate for the first stage of the task is 93%, which earns you 9.3 points. You are also eligible to continue to the second stage of the task."

"Comment: The task required you to punish the three ministers of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch. You did not yield to their strength, status, or past relationship, and made a fair and just judgment. We are very satisfied."

However, while your actions during the mission were both legally sound and morally acceptable, they also raised suspicions of leaking classified information and could potentially lead to the mission target's escape. Considering both aspects, we are still awarding you a 93% completion rate.

Following closely behind was the release of the second phase of the task:

Within the Qianwu Universe, there is a smuggling trade group that collaborates with the Zerg race; this group is called "Chiming".

The Chiming organization operates with extreme secrecy, selling various restricted materials through communication with Zerg spies within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, thereby reaping huge profits.

After extensive investigation by the intelligence department of my Virtual Universe Company, we finally learned that there are seven core members in the Chi Ming organization, each of whom is an immortal god.

For countless years, the human race and the insectoid race have been locked in a constant war. Yet this Chiming organization has smuggled restricted supplies to the insectoid race, a heinous crime indeed.

Therefore, Shen Mu, please capture and kill these seven immortal gods scattered throughout the various star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Detailed information on the target's strength:

1. Brenda, a novice immortal military lord, barely broke through after exhausting her potential, and is proficient in illusion magic... Her divine body strength is about 120 times that of a peak world lord.

2. Barry, a novice immortal military lord, barely broke through after exhausting his potential. He is proficient in fire-based close combat techniques and his divine body strength is approximately 170 times that of a peak world lord.

……

6. Kaman, a low-level Marquis-level Immortal, proficient in soul attacks... His divine body strength is approximately 2400 times that of a peak World Lord.

7. Chi Ming, a high-ranking Marquis-level immortal, is suspected of being controlled by an alien soul... His divine body power is approximately 4700 times that of a peak World Lord.

Bonus Points Quest: Personally slaying an immortal god will earn you extra points.

The specific reward system is as follows: the reward points vary depending on the strength of the target.

If Shen Mu personally kills the weakest Brenda, he will receive a reward of 120 billion points. Killing Kaman will grant him 170 billion points, and so on, corresponding to the opponent's divine power.

Available resources:

1. The Fourth Legion (Army Group) of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom

2. The Golden Horn Tribe's "Taven Division" Action Team

3. Virtual Universe Company Intelligence System.

Task deadline: 1 year (any sub-task not completed by the deadline will be considered a failure).

After reading the mission description, Shen Mu took a deep breath.

"With a reward of tens of billions of points, I can't hold back anymore. I guess the Virtual Universe Company issued this mission to find out exactly what level my strength has reached."

As his mindset shifted, Shen Mu's profound and tranquil temperament became more reserved, while subtle yet sharp energy lingered around him.

Among these seven immortals, two are at the Marquis level, and the rest are merely Immortal Military Lords.

Among them were two of the weakest immortals who had exhausted their potential, followed by three high-level immortal military lords, whose divine bodies possessed power approximately 300, 600, and 700 times that of a peak world lord, respectively.

"With my current power, the strongest one should be the avatar of the Flame God Clan."

Over the course of fifty years, the avatar of the Flame God Clan successfully cultivated the "Flame God Battle Body" manual, consuming over 100 billion points, and its body's amplitude reached a hundredfold.

Including the 32-fold increase in genes of the Flame God Clan clone under the blessing of the Blood Crystal, the final burst could reach an astonishing 3200 times.

Three thousand times the peak power of a Realm Lord is a watershed moment for achieving the title of Marquis and Immortal. Under normal circumstances, when a divine body's power reaches 3200 times the power of a Realm Lord, it has already surpassed the level of a low-level Marquis and barely reached the high level.

This is only the power that Shen Muyan's divine avatar can unleash, not even taking into account the enhancement from the armor.

The Flame God Clan's armor requires 100 times the power of a Realm Lord to activate, and depending on the wearer's own strength, it can grant the wearer up to 1 times the peak power of a Realm Lord.

At Shen Mu's current limit, with the amplification from the armor, he could eventually unleash a terrifying 6400 times the power of a peak World Lord.

Of course, this is just a statistic and does not necessarily mean that Shen Mu truly possesses the strength of a Marquis-level immortal. Even if he comprehends the essence of the 108 spatial laws in the future, it still won't be enough.

Ordinary immortal military lords and marquis immortals are two completely different concepts.

If Shen Mu were to fight a Marquis-level Immortal expert to the death, even if it was a newly-level Marquis who had only barely condensed an immortal body, Shen Mu probably wouldn't be able to break through their defenses. This is the terrifying suppressive power of an immortal body.

Moreover, possessing immortality allows one to burn divine power, amplifying combat strength by thousands of times—truly terrifying. Therefore, among all the realms of immortal gods, the gap between a peak military lord and a low-level marquis is the greatest.

"Two marquises are definitely no match for them, but these five immortal military lords are easy to handle."

"There's no time to lose, let's set off now!"

These five immortal military lords, combined, possess 1890 times the power of a realm lord. In Shen Mu's eyes, these five immortal gods are walking points banks!

If everything goes smoothly, not only will the money for cultivating the Star-Eating Grass be secured, but the money for the Azure Dragon clone to cultivate amplitude-based secret techniques will also be enough.

The Azure Dragon clone is different from the Flame God Clan clone. It does not have a unique amplitude-type secret technique. To cultivate a 30-fold body amplitude, the points required would probably exceed 10 billion.

That day, after bidding farewell to his parents and wife, Shen Mu led his guards on a spaceship and left Earth, heading straight for the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Based on the flight speed of Shen Mu's vehicle, it would take approximately six months to reach the Qianwu Secret Realm.

However, before that, you can meet the commander of the Fourth Legion and the leader of the elite squad of the Tavin Division in the virtual universe.

……

In the virtual universe, in the city of Qianwu, within a magnificent palace.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness Shen Mu."

As Shen Mu walked through the palace corridors, he encountered many domain lords, realm lords, and even immortal gods along the way, all of whom bowed respectfully to him.

A moment later, Shen Mu arrived at the entrance of a side hall.

The immortal god Hantian was waiting by the entrance, and immediately went to greet Shen Mu upon his arrival.

Hantian has now been promoted by Te Chen, the Grand Steward of the Qianwu Secret Realm, to become the fifth White-Robed Deacon of the Qianwu Secret Realm. It should be noted that the first four White-Robed Deacons were all peak military lords, while Hantian's strength has only barely reached the level of a high-level military lord.

Han Tian himself was well aware that his current status and treatment were due to the fact that he was the closest to Shen Mu among all the immortal teachers in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

"Your Highness Shen Mu, the Fourth Army Commander and Elder Tavin of the Golden Horn Clan are already waiting here." A somewhat ferocious yet enthusiastic smile appeared on Han Tian's shark-like face.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Hantian."

Throughout, Shen Mu maintained a basic level of respect for Han Tian, ​​a respect that never wavered despite changes in power and status. After all, like Luo Feng, Shen Mu did not share the surname Tang.

If any of you brothers can't remember the data about the immortal gods, I can post a separate chapter to explain it.
