I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Chapter 286: The Impossible Task_2

As an avatar without the Spirit Descent, he wasn’t affected by the illusions, which had been verified in the Divine Ruins.

What would happen if he used an avatar to take on the appearance of one of the princes and entered the Great Temple?

With this thought, he couldn’t help but want to try it immediately.

However, he also thought of the previous foreseeing incident and shook his

head slightly.

“In the foreknowledge of killing the emperor of Daxuan, I controlled the avatar to enter the palace, and there was no abnormality that time. I’m afraid there won’t be any results this time either.”

During the foreknowledge of the Daxuan emperor’s death, he and the avatar had entered the palace and were both killed.

Although now, as long as he disguised as a member of the Daxuan royal family, it would be difficult for others to see through him, the probability of success was not very high.

“Anyway, I’ll know only if I give it a try.

He had plenty of chances to foresee the future and didn’t care about wasting one. He still decided to try. Who knew, it might work.

His avatar was still hiding from the major families’ pursuit, and its location was far from the Royal City. Fortunately, there were still four hours before the trial in the foreknowledge began, which was enough time for him to control the avatar and return to the Royal City.

Unfortunately, it disappointed him.

He didn’t know where the problem occurred. Even when he controlled the avatar to enter the temple as the Fourth Prince, he was instantly killed, not even lasting three minutes!

“I don’t believe that there is no way to break you!”

Su Nan was stubborn.

Subsequently, he went through multiple foreseeings, using up three chances of foreknowledge each time.

In total, he had foreseen the future more than a dozen times.

It wasn’t until there were only about twenty chances left on his panel that he

had to stop.

During this time, he tried almost every method he could think of and utilized all means available and still ended in failure.

“This is not the way to go on foreseeing!”

Stopping the foreknowledge, Su Nan carefully recalled the information from each foreknowledge, trying to find the key to the problem.

The existence within the Great Temple was too hard to deal with!

He still didn’t understand how the demon that offered the gods in the temple detected his anomaly.

“This task is not easy to complete!”

Looking at the “Path of the Lord” Mainline Task, Su Nan sighed. This task’s first stage was only 3 stars, which should not be particularly difficult for him. With the ability to foresee the future, the probability of completing the task was significant.

But now, after using up more than forty chances of foreknowledge, he had

made no progress.

“Should I give up this task?”

Su Nan was unwilling but had no other choice.

This task was a time-limited task, with only 12 hours for the first stage. He didn’t know whether he could continue the later tasks if he missed the first stage.

“12 hours…”

“Does this mean that as long as I obtain the qualifications before the task time limit ends, it’ll be fine?”

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Su Nan, and his eyes lit up.

“That’s right, why should I insist on going head-to-head with the Great

Temple?”

“The task is for me to obtain the qualifications to become the ruler of Daxuan, not to pass the trial of the Great Temple.”

“Although the only way to obtain the qualifications is through the Great Temple’s trial, if I skip the process and directly take the final prize, it seems that it would still work!”

Su Nan smacked his forehead, realizing that his previous thought process was entirely wrong.

He was a fake, after all. Why should he follow the same path as the real one, step by step? He could completely skip the process!

And for him to achieve this, it was quite simple.

“During a previous foreseeing, the ancestor of Daxuan said that as long as one can hold on until the sun rises the next day, they would pass the trial.

“In this case, after my trial begins, I can leave the temple and just come back when the sun rises, right?”

Su Nan thought of an approach and immediately looked to the foreseeing again. Unlike the previous foreseeings, the consumption of this attempt skyrocketed to as many as 20 times.

“20 times! Did it work?”

[With the closing of the Grand Temple’s gate, the temple fell into a deathly silence. You and the other four princes exchanged glances, but no one took the initiative to speak.]

[One minute later, there were no anomalies in the temple, and you knew that staying here would definitely cause problems. You decisively chose to leave the temple.]

[Upon using Across the Heavens Shift, you appeared outside the royal palace. Your departure did not cause any changes as you both waited for the trial in the temple to end while controlling your avatar to deal with the martial artists hunting you.]

[In order not to evoke fear among the major families, you only used mid-stage Spirit-level strength.]

[Eight hours later, after dealing with the Spiritual- grade martial artists from various major families continuously, all were killed by you.]

[Your plan was very successful. Your actions of killing martial artists from the major families not only did not make them apprehensive, but it incited their anger, making them unanimously send even more powerful martial artists to capture you.]

[Twelve hours later, the scorching sun rose, and you knew that the trial in the temple should have ended. You once again used Across the Heavens Shift to appear directly in the temple.]

[Returning to the temple, you discovered that the four princes still sat with their legs crossed and eyes closed. However, their bodies were lifeless, as they had all already died. You knew that you could not remain here any longer, so you immediately opened the temple doors and walked out.] [Seeingyou appear, several Daxuan Kingdom’s ancestors guarding outside the temple were overjoyed. One of them asked what happened last night.] [You feigned ignorance, telling the ancestors that after entering the temple, you fell asleep and only just woke up, having no idea what happened last night.] [Several ancestors were puzzled but didn’t continue to ask. They congratulated you on having taken the first step in obtaining the qualifications to inherit the position of the Daxuan Kingdom Lord.]

“I succeeded!”

Su Nan sighed in relief.

The facts proved that by transforming into the Fourth Prince, although the offering god demon in the temple could detect his abnormality, it required time.

As long as he didn’t stay in the temple for too long, there would be no problems.

“The four princes all died? This isn’t a trial, it’s just sending them to their deaths.”

A chill rose in Su Nan’s heart. The real four princes were dead, so if he had continued with his previous plan, trying to pass the trial, 9 out of 10 times, he would achieve nothing.

[Seventeen hours later, Daxuan Kingdom’s Ancestor told you that to inherit the position of the Lord, there were two more steps to take. The first was called Divine Soul Baptism, which required at least two days to complete.] [This step presented great danger. For those who didn’t pass the trial, the probabilities of dying were high. Only those who passed the trial could survive and, upon completion, their Divine Soul would be greatly enhanced.] [When you asked why, several ancestors didn’t tell you, only asking you to rest first and return to the temple in five hours. Helpless, you had no choice but to temporarily return to the Fourth Prince’s bedroom to wait.]

“Divine Soul Baptism?”

“Only those who pass the temple’s trial can make it through the baptism?” Su Nan’s expression darkened as the joy he had just obtained vanished in an instant.

Seeing this, how could he not understand? There was no doubt that he was once again killed by the Offering God Demon in the temple!

“No wonder the first trial was so dangerous, it had a connection to the second step. So, using my cunning method to pass it implies that I absolutely cannot complete the second step?”

[Twenty-four hours later, you return to the temple to find that four ancestors are already waiting for you inside.]

[One of the Daxuan Kingdom ancestors asked you to kneel before the stone statue, and then the several ancestors also knelt down, chanting in low voices.] [One minute later, you found no abnormalities.]

[Two minutes later, the only sound inside the temple was the low chanting of several ancestors.]

[Three minutes later, you suddenly felt an incredibly powerful force of Divine Soul surge into your body. You instinctively wanted to resist, but the power of the Divine Soul far exceeded your imagination, leaving you unable to defend against it.]

[Before you could understand what was happening, suddenly, an angry voice exploded in your ear.]

[You died.]

As expected, he died again in the temple.

“So, this is the Divine Soul Baptism? Could it be that the Divine Soul power that entered my body was from the Offering God Demon?”

Su Nan’s expression grew solemn as he instantly thought of a possibility. If the second step, Divine Soul Baptism, required the help of the offering god demon, then this Path of becoming the Lord task would basically become impossible to continue.
