Chapter 1824: Chapter 1823: Main Quest Evaluation

[Calculating Main Quest Evaluation...]

[Main Quest Evaluation: Legend (9.5)]

[Congratulations on completing the main quest]

[Calculating other task evaluations for you, please wait...]

The main quest increased by 0.5, rising from 9 to 9.5.

The main quest this time was actually simple: ’resolve the conspiracy behind the Illusory Heart’.

The Illusory Heart is the Illusion Badge, an item formed after the Shepherd Spirit Emperor Talent Sequences were sealed.

The conspiracy was simple too; the Skull Giant attempted to control two Talent Sequences, planning to return Netherworld’s power to the dungeon world.

The entire quest hardly had any puzzle-solving process because the Church of the Grim Reaper didn’t give He Ao time to solve puzzles. The entire progress was pushed too fast; He Ao hadn’t fully understood the issues before reaching the final stage.

Therefore, He Ao could only keep guessing and verifying, with many riddles he hadn’t understood, answers appearing right before him.

Of course, this wasn’t a good thing, it left He Ao almost no preparation time, most of the time, he had to react on the fly.

If he were a bit weaker, lacking past accumulations, he’d likely die straight away in the dungeon, hardly possible to complete the task.

The system upgrade did enhance basic rewards, but also greatly increased the difficulty of the tasks.

This time there was almost no method to ’cheat’ the task, no simple solution to complete it.

After all, to thoroughly thwart the Skull Giant’s conspiracy, one had to kill the Skull Giant.

And based on He Ao’s practical experience, the Grim Reaper would almost certainly save the Skull Giant.

That meant dealing with the Grim Reaper.

The most likely basic method He Ao could foresee for completing the task was to find a way to destroy the Shepherd Spirit Emperor’s Talent Sequences.

Sacrifice this Talent Sequences to a Divine Being, in exchange for the Divine Being’s intervention, temporarily disrupting the Skull Giant’s conspiracy.

This might complete the task, but Netherworld’s power would still cast over the dungeon world, the Grim Reaper’s plan would still come to fruition.

Once the Grim Reaper’s plan finishes, substitutes ’K’s belief with His, then an invisible substitution ceremony would take effect, He Ao would be directly ’swallowed’ by the Grim Reaper.

So this retreat, while it might allow ’cheating’ to complete the task, is also a dead end for He Ao.

Completing the task beyond expectations wasn’t just for scoring, it was also for saving his own life.

Of course, the final outcome was favorable.

For the task itself, just blocking the Skull Giant’s conspiracy was enough. He Ao not only blocked the Skull Giant’s plan but also severed the Grim Reaper’s power, thoroughly defeating the Grim Reaper’s scheme to spread Netherworld’s power back to the dungeon world.

Consequently, he further controlled and created a New Netherworld, occupying Netherworld’s ecological niche.

While isolating the Grim Reaper’s power, ensuring Netherworld’s existence.

This time it’s almost certain the task was completed beyond expectations, receiving a Legendary evaluation didn’t worry He Ao at all.

Though the stingy system rated him 9.5, which surprised him a bit.

But overall, this wasn’t beyond his expectations.

However, the pace this time was indeed too fast; apparently, some methods used previously to handle tasks are no longer applicable.

Future tasks will likely have more ’unexpected situations’ like this.

After all, those Divine Beings and Angels won’t obediently wait for He Ao to solve all clues and riddles, make arrangements, and only then begin final planning.

He Ao looked down, gazing at the new text in his field of view.

[Calculating Side Quest Evaluation...]

[Side Quest Evaluation: Legend (9.5)]

The side quest score maintained stability, which is somewhat good news; He Ao thought this score would fall.

After the system upgrade, the task mode seems to have greatly changed from before.

In this dungeon, He Ao clearly recognized this point.

Previously, He Ao was told there’s a bomb about to explode, but He Ao had plenty of time to search for the bomb, figure out how to defuse it.

Now he’s told there’s a bomb about to explode, checks and finds a countdown, ’10, 9, 8...’

Of course, the actual situation would be more complex, but time is still urgent, leading to He Ao not having much time, like before, to fully arrange.

And the side quest score relates to impacts on hostile forces.

And in this dungeon, there are two opposing sides: one led by the Church of the Grim Reaper, aiming to recreate the Netherworld.

The other is the Consortium Alliance led by the corporation forces.

They reached cooperation with the Church of the Grim Reaper, each fulfilling their own needs.

For the Church of the Grim Reaper and the Grim Reaper, He Ao isolated the expanding Grim Reaper’s power and killed the Death God Pope Skull Giant, dealing a heavy blow to this force.

But regarding the Consortium Alliance, He Ao just helped Dawn City break encirclement, thwarting the Consortium Alliance’s plan to solve Dawn City at once.

Certainly, even if He Ao were given a few more days, he couldn’t achieve more significant results, at most dealing more damage to the Consortium Alliance.

Because as an entity, the Consortium Alliance represents the Federation’s true core ruling power now.

When this ruling power has decided to wage war, previous peace-time operations like manipulating public opinion and economics don’t have much effect; these could harm a corporation but hardly deal a major blow to the Consortium Alliance.

In war, the logic applied is the logic of war.

And in war, there are only victors and losers.

This side quest increase in difficulty was actually far higher than the main quest.

Judging by the system’s evaluation, the system must have determined similarly.

Otherwise, He Ao might find it hard to maintain a 9.5 score.

Small achievements in great difficulty and great achievements in small difficulty likely carry similar weight in scoring.

Of course, He Ao’s ’severance’ of the Grim Reaper’s power may have added many points here.

But regardless, this score didn’t reach the perfect 10 rating.

He Ao faintly realized the system’s requirements for ’perfect’ in main and side quests are likely very harsh.

To achieve such evaluation, not only must the tasks be completed near perfectly, but also seizing some key moments.

Main, side, and hidden tasks are different; main and side tasks require handling numerous task-related forces and characters, while hidden tasks involve only dungeon characters.

He Ao looks down, gazing at the subtitles in his field of view.

[Calculating Hidden Task Evaluation...]

[Hidden Task Evaluation: Perfect (10)]

[Generating comprehensive evaluation interface for you, please wait...]

With the increase in main quests, the difficulty of hidden tasks has actually increased as well.

Being accomplished, reaching B-level, and over eighty, Hawke actually lacked any regrets in life or unresolved matters anymore.

Although he has his own stubbornness and biases, in a certain sense, he can also understand to some extent the changes happening in the Federation.

But he actually doesn’t care about these. He is not the kind of person with a particularly strong sense of empathy, who harbors ten out of ten goodwill towards society and others.

His life has been filled with countless separations and deaths, numerous setbacks, and he has seen both oppression and being oppressed. To him, these are just parts of society that he needn’t care about or bother with.

Hawke is actually very much like his grandfather. When he can, he doesn’t mind helping others, especially if helping others can benefit him or his family, then even better.

However, compared to his grandfather, he is even colder.

In the entire world, the only thing that can stir his emotions is his family.

And his living family members are just his seldom-contacted brother Ed and his only son Erian.

Because his wife passed away early, and Hawke himself is busy with work, Erian, during his growth, actually had little companionship.

Therefore, Hawke actually still carries much guilt and regret towards Erian.

But he also can’t communicate well with Erian, just like he couldn’t communicate well with his own father.

However, Erian is more like his mother than his father.

Many times, Erian can actually understand some of his father’s ideas and empathize with him, so the relationship between Hawke and Erian is not as sharp as that between Hawke and his father.

It’s just that sometimes, Erian cannot agree with some of Hawke’s views. In moments of severe conflict, Erian would also use his own methods to confront his father.

For instance, choosing the university he wants to attend and the major he wants to study.

In fact, before Erian’s accident, Hawke always thought that Erian’s belief in ’K’ and his admiration for Christos were solely a way of resisting his father.

Hawke’s understanding of Erian was stuck in the rebellious phase: ’You don’t let me do it, so I must do it.’

Fathers always think the child has not grown up, even when Erian met with an accident at the age of 28.

So, from Hawke’s perspective, Erian’s death was actually somewhat ’brought upon himself,’ like a child being told not to play in a dangerous place but insisting on going, and then meeting with an accident.

He was indeed sad, but equally angry.

So Hawke’s initial hope was to find the child and bury him, not letting him die alone, and hopefully avenging him.

And as he investigated Erian’s death, he discovered that Erian was not the naive boy he believed, that Erian also had many of his own ideas and was not blindly pursuing things.

From Hawke’s perspective, his ’hope’ also changed.

He slowly came to understand the child and to some extent recognized the child’s ambitions.

This recognition and understanding also led him to start embracing the child’s ideals, regretting the child’s fate rather than being angry at his disobedience.

He gradually realized that Erian had grown up and was an independent person, not the child who hadn’t grown up.

And along with this process, his hope became more about achieving the child’s unfinished ideals.

Hawke’s father never truly understood him, and until Erian’s accident, Hawke never truly understood Erian.

But when a father truly understands his child, he often becomes the child’s greatest supporter.

Of course, whether it’s the initial hope or the later changed hope, as well as that unexpected meeting with Erian’s undead, they all achieved a relatively perfect ending.

So even if the task became more difficult and complicated, He Ao still maintained a perfect evaluation.

Feeling the change in his soul, He Ao took a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked at the changes in the text within his field of view.

[Main Quest Evaluation:

In the ancient universe, life cycles repeatedly, and the spiritual essence of the deceased remains in their bodies until it completely fades away.

And this lingering spirituality becomes a breeding ground for darkness and turmoil.

Until the Great Being that spans the universe established the world of souls, channeling all departed souls into the eternal resting place, this ancient turmoil finally ended.

The Great Being holds the authority of the universe and is the universe itself.

They stand at the edge of the starry sky, creating the immortal order of the universe.

But even among them, harmony is not absolute.

When the bells of chaos toll, war erupts among the Divine Beings.

The sharpest sword light in the world severed the resting place of the deceased.

Inflicting a crack upon the universe.

Thus, a region was born in this world, inaccessible even to the Lord of the Underworld.

For a long time, the Lord of the Underworld has been trying to return to that region.

The Lord is death itself, and also the bringer of death.

Its will falls upon the world as bloody tremors and chaos.

When the Divine Beings’ gaze descends upon the earth, everything seems predetermined.

But you have changed all this.

Long years of plotting, meticulous planning.

Lives sacrificed for this cause.

As blood flows on the earth, painting a river of spirituality, you emerge from the fog to gaze upon this turbulent world.

The howl from the Undead World traverses the sky, servants with ancient talents initiate the prologue of creation.

As the power of the Netherworld extends once more to the blank earth, death follows.

You stride across the land shrouded in death and chaos, through the chaos of creation, ending everything completely before the turmoil and sacrifice occur.

You have brought the resting place for the deceased, but not taken away the blood and sacrifices.

The gods witness your great deeds, eternally engraving your story.

The historical scroll opens a new page, marking the first trace for you.

The tale of fate turns delicately in your hands, eternal greatness marvels at your signature.

Even the immortal Truth walks with you.

Your achievements linger on the earth, echoed in the starry sky.

From the center of the universe to its fringes, from history to fate, countless lifeforms chant your storied tale.

Your greatness earns the admiration of the stars.

Your mercy is remembered through time and space.

The steps of history pause at this moment, allowing fate to imprint your footprints.

A distant song echoes in the void, the anthem of all beings congregates here, leaving behind an indelible poem.

This is eternity that neither time nor storm can erase.]
