Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 199 Desperate Situation

Chapter 199 Desperate Situation

"What a magnificent battle!" The Immortal Commander of the 39th Army clapped his hands as he walked over.

Suk looked over and said, "I also want to thank the 39th Army for their great assistance, which allowed me to successfully complete this mission."

"Haha, no need to thank me. We all work for the Virtual Universe Company." Seeing Suk's performance just now, the Immortal Military Lord felt it was worthwhile to befriend Suk.

The Immortal Lord and Suk left the hall together and walked down the corridor.

"By the way, what about CEO Urmit?" Suk asked.

"You asked at the perfect time," the bald, lean, immortal god chuckled. "I just received news that Executive Director Urmit has killed three World Lords, thus completing his personal mission."

Suk was secretly shocked. The strongest of Urmit's three targets was a fourth-level Realm Lord, and he had managed to kill them all. This showed how strong he was. No wonder he was hailed as the most likely genius member to break into the Primal Secret Realm.

I am still far from being like Urmit.

A moment later, the luxurious and brightly lit banquet hall was filled with a sumptuous feast.

There were many people this time. Suk, Urmit, the commanders of the four armies, the three immortal gods who helped, and several hundred other realm lords were all seated together. It was a lively and bustling place.

"I truly thank everyone in the 18th Group Army for their tremendous help this time. Without you all, completing this mission would have been extremely difficult. I'd like to propose a toast to you all." The black-armored, silver-haired youth raised his glass and smiled. "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Suk, the four military leaders, and the three immortal gods all raised their glasses, and everyone in the banquet hall followed suit.

Amid the lively atmosphere, Urmit turned to Suk and asked, "Vice Minister Suk, has your mission been successfully completed?"

Suk's expression remained calm: "Thank you for your concern, CEO Urmit. It's finished."

Urmit smiled and said, "That's good. We're all from Virtual Universe Company, so we can help each other out if needed."

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; the more friendly Urmit was to him, the more wary Suk became.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

After the banquet ended and everyone dispersed, Suk returned to the capital planet to await the mission summary.

Unlike Urmit, Suk only had the simplest personal mission. The so-called cooperative mission was already over after killing Wan Zhao and his two disciples. Therefore, he received feedback from the Virtual Universe Company shortly after completing the mission.

In the Yuxiang Mountain and Tian region, Suk and Eloi chatted together, making time for each other whenever they had free time.

"This mission was completed very smoothly," Suk remarked. The mission was a 100% success, earning him 20,000 points. Earning 20,000 points on a mission of this difficulty is quite good.

"That Urmit didn't make things difficult for you," Eloi said. Compared to 50 years ago, she still looked like a young girl, but there seemed to be some subtle changes.

"Actually, if he hadn't set his sights on Xiaoyue and Xiaoxing, there wouldn't be any conflict between us," Suk said. "If he were smart, he wouldn't have deliberately offended me." In fact, Ulmit had always maintained a respectful and friendly attitude towards the Su family manor and Suk, and had not shown any dangerous intentions.

However, one should always be wary of others, so Eloi asked her fellow disciples to send two Marquis-level officials to guard the house as a precaution.

"But Xiaoyue and Xiaoxing don't like him." Eloi also felt a bit of a headache.

"Let's not talk about him. Are you still doing dangerous missions?" Suk asked Eloi.

The only ways for the cosmic-level members staying in the secret realm to improve themselves are through cultivation and completing missions.

Tasks are essentially points, which are resources.

A cosmic-level genius can only take on a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years.

To prevent people from endlessly accepting tasks, there is a limit to the total number of tasks each person can accept.

A cosmic-level genius can accept a maximum of three extreme missions from members of the Primordial Realm! Members of the Primordial Realm can accept a maximum of two! Members of the Heaven and Earth Realm and the Apocalypse Realm can only accept a maximum of one extreme mission!

Dangerous missions: Members of the Primordial Realm can accept a maximum of 15! Members of the Primordial Beginning Realm can accept a maximum of 10! Members of the Heaven and Earth Realm can accept a maximum of 6! Members of the Apocalypse Realm can accept a maximum of 3!

The rewards for extreme missions range from a minimum of 10 points to hundreds of thousands or even millions of points!

The reward for a dangerous mission is generally 1 to 2 points, with a maximum of 10 points.

The difficulty level requires 1-2 thousand points.

Eloi is a member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and in theory, she should be able to accept one extreme-level mission and six dangerous-level missions.

As far as Suk knew, Aloy had done a few dangerous missions over the decades. Although he hadn't done any extreme missions despite Suk's advice, it always made Suk a little worried.

Eloi seemed to understand her husband's thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks unless I'm absolutely certain." Even without her husband's reminder, she and those geniuses in the secret realm were all cautious. After all, the 90% mortality rate of extreme missions and the 50% mortality rate of dangerous missions were still quite frightening. Of course, no matter how frightening it was, it couldn't stop some people from taking risks.

After all, the rewards and risks are proportional! The extreme danger of missions is immense, but the rewards are also incredibly generous. In particular, some geniuses gradually discover hidden opportunities within the missions, which makes them even more tempting.

The competition in the secret realm is too fierce. If you don't take risks, you can't improve significantly and surpass others. So even if you know it's dangerous, many people still can't help but want to take a chance.

"Speaking of adventures..." Eloi frowned and looked at Suk: "Zaki seems to have recently taken on a critical mission with the Space Mercenary Alliance."

"What?" Suk was taken aback; he didn't know this at all.

"Didn't he tell you?" Eloi asked Suk. The two brothers had always been very open with each other.

"No." Suk shook his head, already understanding that the reason Zuomu went on the risk without telling him beforehand was probably because he didn't want Suk to stop him or worry about him.

"Which critical mission did he take?" Suk asked calmly. At this point, there was no way to stop him, and it was pointless anyway. Zuo Mu wasn't a child; if he chose to take the risk, he had to be prepared to bear the consequences.

"It's the Death Star, located within the Glory Secret Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance," Eloi said.

There are very few extreme missions, only 18 in total, scattered among the five major factions. The points required vary. The lowest are the "Death Star" missions, which have three in total, each worth 10 points, which adds up to quite a lot.

"I hope that bastard is safe and sound," Suk thought worriedly. Zuo Mu was a member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's Glorious Secret Realm and had passed through the 8th level of the Sky Bridge in Chaos City for 30 years, gaining a large number of points. He should have many ways to protect himself.

But which genius in history who went on adventures didn't have some trump cards or tricks up their sleeve? Yet, they still ended up with a 90% mortality rate, and unlike Eloi, Saki didn't have a clone.

"By the way, when is your next Secret Realm Qualifying Battle?" Suk asked Eloi, remembering something.

The cosmic-level qualifying battle is held once every 100 years.

"There are still 43 years," Eloi replied. "However, I want to conquer the cosmic-level Primordial Sky-Piercing Mountain before then, so I can enter the Primordial Secret Realm ahead of time, and then rush to the Primordial Secret Realm before the Secret Realm qualification battle."

In fact, the difficulty of traversing the Primordial Heavenly Mountain is much higher than that of entering the Primordial Secret Realm.

If Eloi can get through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, then entering the Primal Secret Realm is practically a certainty.

Just like Su Ke, who doesn't even have the slightest confidence in breaking into the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord level mountain.

One of the conditions for clearing the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level is the 16th level of the Tongtian Bridge. Even if the conditions for the lower-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain are lower, they are still beyond the imagination of ordinary Domain Lords (the highest level that Domain Lords in the Primordial Secret Realm have cleared so far is the 11th level).

Tongtian Mountain was never a normal path to advancement.

"Are you confident?" Suk asked with concern.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm still somewhat confident," Eloi said, not making any definitive statements.
