Chapter 137: War God Title

After Bai Hua Fairy left, white goose also took Xiuxiu away to cultivate, the only two left in the great hall were Gu Qing Shan and Qin Xiao Lou.

“Come, junior brother” Qing Xiao Lou said as he stood up and gestured to Gu Qing Shan.

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan smiled, took the badge in his hand, about to leave.

Just right as he took the badge, his expression changed.

A flash of light passed by the War God UI, turning into a large red letters right in the middle

[Detected user activating a special story scenario]

[Current conditions suitable for activation]

[Destiny Quest activated]

A Destiny Quest!

Another Destiny Quest!

The last time he got one was when he was with Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi, being surrounded by the horde of elite demon beasts.

That time was so dangerous that he almost lost his life numerous times before being able to complete the quest, activating the [War God Thaumaturgy] button.

Then what about now?

Gu Qing Shan quickly looked down.

[Destiny Quest: Decisive battle]

[Breaking the shackles of destiny, changing the direction that history takes, user Gu Qing Shan has entered a Destiny Quest]

[Quest description: The cultivation world has done everything it could to prepare for the final battle with the demons. Victory and defeat will be decided on this single battle. If they succeed, cultivation world will be able to advance their army to Shen Wu world; if they fail, the migrating demons shall all come crawling back as humanity of this world shall continue their path towards the destruction]

[Quest objective: Only when standing high enough that you’ll be able to efficiently affect the direction of this war. You must increase your Military Rank to Zhao Wu Chaplain before the war reaches its halfway point]

[As this is an incredibly dangerous and difficult war, to ensure that the user does not die prematurely, the quest reward has been given early]

[If the Quest fails, the reward shall be rescinded, and the user will not be able to increase their cultivation in the span of 3 years]

After reading through everything, Gu Qing Shan felt surprised, and a heavy feeling of unease.

The Quest is called [Decisive Battle] ——-yet it is only a half-mission.

In other words, he has to complete this first half before gaining to right to attempt the second half of the Quest.

Not to mention, the Quest reward has already been given early.

Gu Qing Shan doesn’t feel the least bit glad, instead he felt extremely heavy.

——–the mission before was to save Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Xi, despite how dangerous it was, there was never a mention of a reward being given early.

But this time, the System outright told him that this will be a dangerous and difficult battle, and gave him the reward early.

This is unheard of.

In the entire history of the game, never has there been any Quest that would give the reward before it’s completed.

That is to say, the System predicted that even the player can die in this war.

Not to mention, if the Quest fails, he will be unable to increase his cultivation for 3 years.

He’ll live, but that’s the same as waiting for death.

At least if he tries his hardest and dies, he’ll be able to avoid having to watch things happen without being able to do anything about it.

After reading through the Quest description again, he silently sighed.

Gu Qing Shan felt like he was standing on a thousand-mile-high cliff, one wrong step is all it takes for him to die the most gruesome of deaths.

Then he tapped the [receive reward] symbol on the UI.

[Ting!]

[Destiny Quest reward has been received]

On the War God UI, a new golden symbol appeared at the bottom, in the same row as [War God Skills] and [War God Thaumaturgy].

Gu Qing Shan was slightly surprised, but confirmed that Destiny Quests are indeed to key to opening the black symbols on the War God UI.

He quickly checked it out.

A description showed on the symbol.

[War God Title]

[As the name of War God is renowned across all the lands, your title is the manifestation of your will]

[User Gu Qing Shan current owned titles: 2]

[Notice, you can only equip one title at a time”]

I already own a title?

Gu Qing Shan looked down in surprise.

[Title 1: Sword 15]

[Description: On the day of the semester examination, you used one sword strike to blow away 15 of the top cultivators there. So many sect’s newcomers have started to spread the name of Sword 15]

[Equipping this title grants you the specialist skill: Sound Shock]

[Sound Shock: when attacking, you’ll deal many minor damage to the opponent’s soul vessel]

[Title 2: Xiao Qi Chaplain]

[Description: Within the Humanity’s Alliance army, this is the 3rd officer Military rank from the bottom]

[Equipping this title grants you the specialist skill: Quick Attack]

[Quick Attack: The user’s attack speed is increased by 10%]

Gu Qing Shan breathed out as he looked, as expected of War God UI, the name War God isn’t just for show. Each and every symbol of the War God is incredibly powerful.

These two titles that he has right now are only primary-level titles.

But looking at the description of the skills, this is on the same level as Growth Skills.

Using [Shifting Flurry] as an example, you’d see how strong a Growth Skill is.

Gu Qing Shan can already guess what powerful effects it would gain as the titles evolves.

If one day, he reaches the level of the 3 Saints, just how strong would a specialist skill of the titles be?

No wonder the System gave him this reward early; this is quite the big boost of morale for him.

After reading through the Quest reward, Gu Qing Shan’s emotions calmed down again.

Can’t help it then, he can’t run away from what he has to face, so he might as well try his best to deal with the upcoming problem.

Going with Qin Xiao Lou, he went to an area behind Bai Hua Palace.

Qin Xiao Lou was speaking excitedly: “Junior brother, you have to carefully pick a mount for yourself ok?”

Although Qin Xiao Lou looked like a thoughtless slack-off, he actually noticed how Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

Then he complained: “Shifu has a close relationship with quite a few spirit beasts, but normally she is very strict with them, so I can’t come hang out with them”

Gu Qing Shan reluctantly forced a smile, asking: “Senior brother, what mount do you use?”

‘Me?” Qin Xiao Lou laughed and took out a Spirit Beast Bag.

“Check it out, brother!”

Then he tapped his spirit beast bag, releasing a giant shadow that descended on then from the sky, filling their visions.

Boom!

A giant tortoise that’s about 2 stories tall landed on the ground, shaking the earth.

This is a Frost Mist Mystic Tortoise, having awaken Water Elemental root to 2nd stage, it can be considered decent.

“His strength and whatever isn’t the main point” Qin Xiao Lou was excitedly explaining how great the tortoise was, “the main thing is that his shell has a layer of ice, to normal attacks are very likely to slide off and miss”

“Just look at the thickness of this shell, its defensive capabilities are insane!”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit doubtful: “But what does how strong its defensive abilities are have to do with you?”

“You don’t understand at all” Qin Xiao Lou pridefully said, “I spent a ton of effort to put 3 space formations on the shell, that way, even if demons make it to where I am, I can just teleport and hide inside the shell”

Gu Qing Shan very seriously looked at the shell, confirming that he wasn’t kidding.

Qin Xiao Lou was this kind of person, charming enough to unconsciously move your point of focus away, sometimes forgetting about your worries as well.

“Nice, it’s a really good idea, but first please put him back, second brother. He’s too heavy to be standing on the two of us” Gu Qing Shan said.
