Chapter 474: The Unavoidable Disaster
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If An Lin had a choice, he really didnât want to see what stupid new mission the system assigned to him.
Sigh⊠if only I could give this wretched system to someone elseâŠ
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the elderly immortal from way back then, and his body trembled.
F*ck⊠he felt like he had been screwed over!
However, An Lin didnât have a transferring technique for the system, and even if he did, he wouldnât dare to transfer the system to someone else.
After all, he had strayed so far from the normal path of cultivation. If he were to lose the system now, he really wouldnât even know how to cultivate anymore⊠Although it wasnât like he knew how to cultivate with the system, it was at least better than having no directionâŠ
He opened the system with a reluctant sigh.
As expected, the Special Missions tab was flashing with that usual accursed light.
âDetected that host has a received a chance to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, now assigning the mission below:
âObtain ten Realm Essence Crystal within a month and absorb them all.
âMission Success: Receive the embryonic body of the War God.
âMission Failure: Host will become a eunuch for a hundred years.
âNote: This mission cannot be rejected.â
âHeheâŠâ An Lin laughed grimly as the veins on his forehead began to pop.
Before this, it was only three years, but now, he would have to become a eunuch for a hundred years if he were to fail?
F*ck your grandma! Thatâs going too far!
Although⊠he would willingly abstain for a hundred years for the sake of Xu Xiaolan. But that didnât mean he could bear being unable to use his male functions for a hundred years!
An Lin was faced with a difficult dilemma. He would have to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm if he wanted to complete this mission, which would essentially be walking into a disastrous calamity! He would be following the path fate had laid out for him toward his purple futureâŠ
If he wanted to escape his fate, he would have to make a drastic change. Which would mean making the decision that he would never make⊠to become a eunuch for a hundred years!
Tears welled up in An Linâs eyes at this notion.
He didnât think it would be so hard to escape the inertia of fate. This was a decision that would be extraordinarily difficult for him to makeâŠ
âAn Lin, are you planning to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm?â Wang Xuanzhan suddenly asked.
An Lin turned to Wang Xuanzhan with a question of his own. âIf you were faced with a dilemma where you had to choose to face a potentially disastrous calamity or escape this calamity at the price of becoming a eunuch for a hundred years, what would you choose?â
Wang Xuanzhanâs face convulsed slightly as he replied with a serious expression, âI am a man! A man who can carry the world on his shoulders! I would sooner die than be a eunuch for even a single day!â
An Lin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his reply. âThatâs what I thought too. This is the dignity and honor of a man; I canât discard it no matter what!â
âThatâs right! Exactly! This is a bottom line that cannot be crossed no matter what disastrous calamities I am threatened with!â Wang Xuanzhan roared with bright eyes.
âWow, what are you guys talking about? You seem quite excited.â A beautiful woman in a red dress with a pair of golden bracelets on her wrists made her way toward them at this moment.
An Lin and Wang Xuanzhan immediately blushed and changed topics at the sight of the beautiful woman.
Wang Xuanzhan offered an awkward but still polite smile in response. âWeâre discussing whether we should go to the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.â
An Lin nodded before chiming in, âAnd our conclusion is⊠a man canât back down no matter what.â
âSo youâre saying women can back down?â The woman covered her mouth as she chuckled lightly.
An Lin chuckled drily in reply. He would back down without a second thought if it wasnât for this farcical mission!
âHi there, my name is Yang Ruoling and my Dao title is Ling Yu.â The woman took the initiative to introduce herself.
âGreetings, my name is Wang Xuanzhan and my Dao title is Qing Lin,â Wang Xuanzhan replied politely.
They had both introduced themselves, so now it was An Linâs turn. âHi Celestial Maiden Ling Yu, my name is An Lin and I do not have a Dao title yet.â
âOh? Youâre An Lin from the Heavenly Court?â The womanâs eyes lit up as she said, âIâve heard of your name from Department Head Chen of the Dark Marshlands Execution Department. Isnât your Dao title the Tamer of Divine Lightning?â
Wang Xuanzhan chuckled lightly. âStudent An Lin has many Dao titles like Poison Lord, Master of The Heavenly Finger, Stuffed Bun GodâŠâ
An Linâs chest constricted, but he still maintained a smile while roaring in his heart, âThose are Dao titles? What kind of f*cking Dao titles are those?! Am I crazy or do you all think Iâm crazy? Who would adopt Dao titles like those?!â
After a brief chat, An Lin learned that Yang Ruoling was his upperclasswoman who was over a hundred years older than himself and Wang Xuanzhan. She was once one of the supremely talented prodigies of the Heavenly Court, but she had been stuck at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage for many years and had never been able to make a breakthrough. Hence, it was clear that she was not going to give up on the chance to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
âAlright, one hour is up. Those who would like to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, please inject a wisp of your divine sense into this white bead, and I will pick out a roster!â Emperor Ziweiâs voice suddenly sounded.
Most of the people in the white palace sprang into action.
An Lin gritted his teeth and also made his way over to the bead before injecting a wisp of his divine sense within.
There were only five Return to Void Stage cultivators within the palace, so their spots were already cemented.
Among the sixty Soul Formation Stage Earth Immortals, only two chose to relinquish the opportunity to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
This meant that twenty-eight people had to be eliminated from fifty-eight Soul Formation Stage Earth Immortals. This competition was definitely quite fierce.
Emperor Ziwei soon came to a decision.
âThe roster has now been confirmed. Those who will be entering the Void Star Section of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm will be the Sun Patrol God, the Night Patrol God, the Giant Spirit God, LĂŒ Dongbin, and Celestial Maiden He.
âAs for the team to enter the Ancient Divine Section, we have Long Xinhong, Chen Daoyun, Liu Chuchu⊠Wang Xuanzhan, and Yang Ruoling for a team of thirty.â
Emperor Ziwei announced the roster and those chosen responded with joyful expressions, while the others were feeling quite dejected.
An Linâs expression was completely different from everyone elseâs.
He stood rooted to the spot as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. His expression had completely frozen on his face, and his mouth gaped wide open as if he had heard some extremely terrifying information.
His name wasnât on the rosterâŠ
There was no spot for him on the roster of entrants to the Ancient Tai Chu RealmâŠ
Wang Xuanzhan offered some words of consolation to An Lin upon seeing his expression. âItâs ok, Mr. An Lin. The path of cultivation is a long one and the world is vast with countless opportunities waiting for you. Youâve only lost one opportunity, itâs not a big deal!â
An Lin muttered under his breath, âYou donât understand⊠To you, this is just losing an opportunity, but to me⊠itâs losing my little brotherâŠâ 1
âHah?â Wang Xuanzhan stared at An Lin with a perplexed expression.
Tears welled up in An Linâs eyes, but he suddenly began to laugh.
So, this was the disastrous calamity⊠This was what his purple fate entailedâŠ
Entering the Ancient Tai Chu Realm would be a disastrous calamity.
But becoming a eunuch for a hundred years was also a disastrous calamity to him!
He was destined to fail this mission, which meant he was destined to become a eunuch for a hundred yearsâŠ
It was simply to difficult to deviate from the path pre-ordained by fate.
It was an unavoidable disasterâŠ
