    [Using Across the Heavens Shift, you sessfully entered the sixth stone chamber. You found that there was nothing ced in this stone chamber, except for a flight of stairs extending downwards. Hesitating for a moment, you carefully descend the stairs.]


    [The stairs were very long, and you didn’t know where they lead. It took a full minute before you reached the bottom of the stairs.]


    [This was also a stone room, to your surprise, there was a demon trapped in this room; a creature that resembled a deer and a horse, but was neither.]


    [Iron chains covered the demon’s body, each chain passing through its body and eventually disappearing into the stone walls in all directions.]


    [Upon sensing your arrival, the demon trapped by the iron chains suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of emotionless, bloody red, and cold eyes.]


    [The moment the demon opened its eyes, you died.]


    “There is actually a demon trapped in this pce!” Su Nan was surprised.


    With his current strength, it would take at least the Peak of Xuan-level, or even a King Level to kill him without resistance.


    He was more inclined to thetter.


    “If it’s really a Demon King, what is the White Water Demon King imprisoning it for?”


    Looking at his foreknowledge times, he had a full 24 times of foreknowledge for today, more than enough to use.


    He decided to continue using foreknowledge.


    He tried to see if he could release the demon.


    The demon must’ve been imprisoned by the White Water Demon King. If he could release it, maybe it could help him deal with the White Water Demon King.


    [You know that the demon is very dangerous now and not something you can handle.]


    [You reacted quickly and told the demon you were here to help it the moment it opened its eyes.]


    [Unfortunately, the demon didn’t pay any attention to you, and its eyes stared at you coldly.]


    [You died.]


    “Died again? Could it be because I’m using a Human identity now?”


    Zhang Yang’s mission was to hatch the Dragon-Turtle Egg, so his current identity was naturally Zhang Yang.


    Activating the Life Wheel Scripture, he transformed himself into a Wolf Demon.


    As soon as the cooldown for Foreknowledge was over, he continued using Foreknowledge.


    [You reacted quickly, telling the demon that you were here to help it escape the moment it opened its eyes.]


    [Unfortunately, the demon didn’t pay any attention to you, and its eyes stared at you coldly.]


    [You died.]


    “Died again?”


    Su Nan frowned, not understanding why the demon wanted to kill him this time.


    Afterwards, he tried transforming into the appearance of the White Water Demon King, and even changed into the appearance of the demon itself before it opened its eyes.


    Unfortunately, all ended in failure.


    The demon waspletely unresponsive, and as long as it opened its eyes, he would die.


    “Forget it, if you want to stay trapped, then stay trapped.”


    After four consecutive foreknowledge attempts yielded no results, Su Nan was toozy to waste any more effort.


    His gaze returned to the Dragon-Turtle Egg.


    Five or six minutes passed, and the amount of spring water gushing from the pond had been reduced by half.


    He continued to wait.


    Another five or six minutes passed, and when only a quarter of the spring water was left, the Dragon-Turtle Egg finally stopped absorbing it.


    “It’s time!”


    Su Nan reacted quickly, pulling out the dagger he had prepared earlier and cutting his palm ording to the results of his Foreknowledge.


    Fresh blood flowed, dripping onto the six turtle eggs in the pond, one drop at a time.


    As soon as his blood fell on the Dragon-Turtle Eggs, they began to tremble.


    This processsted for only a dozen breaths.


    With a crisp sound, the Dragon-Turtle Egg on his far right cracked first, and a small head emerged from it.


    At the same time the Dragon-Turtle Egg cracked, a taskpletion notification popped up.


    [Congrattions, you havepleted the first phase of the “Dragon-Turtle” mission. Would you like to im your rewards immediately?]


    “im!”


    [Congrattions, you have obtained a Spirit Grade Bloodline]


    [Congrattions, you have obtained a Spirit Grade Demon Technique]


    [Congrattions, you have obtained 45 Demon Power Points]


    [Congrattions, you have obtained Dragon Turtle Essence Blood]


    [The second phase of the mission has been activated; please check the task list.]


    Uponpleting a four-star mission, Su Nan turned his attention to the Dragon Turtle instead of checking his rewards and task


    Dragon turtles are auspicious beasts, belonging to apletely different race from demons.


    The newly-born dragon turtle, only the size of a palm, slightly resembled an ordinary turtle but was much more domineering.


    Its four legs were covered with silver scales, its tail was long like that of a dragon, and its head seemed to be abination of a dragon and turtle.


    Perhaps because Su Nan had hatched the egg using his fresh blood, he felt an unknown connection between him and the dragon turtle upon its hatching.


    The little creature seemed excited to see him as if he was its rtive. Su Nan could feel the joying from the Dragon Turtle.


    “How did this happen?” Su Nan wondered, but unfortunately, foreknowledge did not exin this phenomenon.


    Nevertheless, it was clearly a good thing.


    The little creature clumsily tried to crawl towards Su Nan, but upon finding the other five Dragon Turtle eggs nearby, it quickly changed direction and opened its mouth wide. The next moment, something strange happened.


    Despite being only palm-sized, the little creature swallowed a Dragon Turtle egg several timesrger than itself.


    As soon as it swallowed the first egg, the previously stumbling Dragon Turtle instantly gained strength and began running towards the next egg.


    Su Nan didn’t stop it and just watched.


    But as the little creature was about to swallow the fourth egg, Su Nan had a bold idea:


    “Auspicious beasts are unique, and there could be only one of each type in a world. What if I take the Dragon Turtle egg to the real world to hatch it?”


    A sudden sh of inspiration brightened his eyes.


    Although the two worlds might have had some connection in ancient times, they were now separate. If he took the Dragon Turtle egg into the real world, there might be a possibility of hatching it.


    “Regardless of sess, it’s worth a try.”


    Transferring the Dragon Turtle Egg into the real world would require 580 points of demon power.


    For Su Nan, 580 points of demon power was a huge number.


    Even if hepleted all nine tasks with three roles every day, it would still take four to five days to umte enough points.


    However, as his realm increased and the rewards frompleting tasks increased, the amount of demon power he gained would naturally increase as well. One day, he would be able to transfer the egg out of the game.


    The number of Dragon Turtle eggs was limited, unique, and irreceable, so it was important to preserve them.


    Once that idea struck, Su Nan didn’t hesitate. Before the little creature could swallow thest egg, he quickly picked it up.


    Seeing its food being snatched away, the Dragon Turtle seemed confused. Its ck eyes stared at Su Nan, seemingly asking why he had taken its food.


    “Little guy, eating four eggs is already enough. Let me keep thest one.”


    As the Dragon Turtle swallowed the eggs one by one, its palm-sized body grew rapidly and its aura strengthened at an incredible rate.


    At this point, it had doubled in size, and its realm had reached the peak of the Mortal Level, even though it had had one egg less.


    After catching the little creature and picking up the turtle shell, Su Nan immediately used the Across the Heavens Shift to leave the Lake Heart Pce and headed out of White Water Lake.


    Even after leaving White Water Lake, he didn’t dare to linger.


    Only after confirming safety did he choose to quit the game.


    Just as he was quitting the game, a roar erupted from White Water Lake…


    The White Water Demon King had returned and had already discovered the decrease in water power at the Lake Heart Spring Eye.


    However, none of that concerned Su Nan anymore.


    Early morning.


    Su Nan woke up from his sleep.


    ncing at the time, it was already 8 a.m.


    Following his usual routine, he went out for breakfast and returned to browse the forum.


    The aftermath of the first side quest of the Human Crisis the previous day was still being discussed extensively on the forum.


    Among the most discussed topics were Wang Nan and Zhang Yang.


    At a nce, Su Nan saw someone had posted the items from the fourth-grade contribution mall.


    “Technique Seeds? Divine Ability Seeds? Ancient Demon Essence Blood? What are all these things?”


    “So Wang Nan must have already exchanged for that Technique Seed.”


    “This is the difference between high-end yers and us low-end yers. Ordinary yers can’t even touch these things!”


    The items in the mall were things that ordinary yers had never heard of or seen before. When the post was made, it attracted arge number of yers to view it.


    Without paying much attention, Su Nan’s interest was instead piqued by another post.


    That was a post looking for him.


    Or more precisely, looking for Wang Nan..
