After the Qishen was forged by His Majesty the God-King... not a single True God had ever received the conferment. As for the far more difficult Master of Law conferment, naturally, no one had ever attained it.

Once one became an Ennobled Expert, things were entirely different.

First, their status would be on par with the Four Great Generals.

Second, the benefits were manifold, such as the "Wuqi God" being an unparalleled treasure.

However, it was difficult!

The stringency of the conferment requirements had stopped countless genius experts in the Jin World. Despite this, in every epoch, the East Army, West Army, South Army, and North Army would still see many geniuses attempt to fight for the conferment.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng finished reading in one breath, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Attempt to gain conferment, could it be..."

Luo Feng looked at the golden figure before him and asked directly, "To obtain conferment, is there such a mission?" The golden figure replied coldly, "There is!" "What mission?" Luo Feng pressed, eager to try it himself. Regarding his own capabilities, Luo Feng was quite confident; after all, he was a successor of the Broken East River lineage.

"Soldier of the Mang River Army, you are a Master of Law." The golden figure stated coldly, "There are two paths to obtaining conferment."

Luo Feng listened intently.

"The first path," the golden figure said, "has two conditions. As long as you meet these two conditions, the Four Great Generals will personally verify them. Once met, you will directly receive the conferment."

"The two conditions of the first path: First, if you wish to become a True God, you must follow the path of Divine Power, and your Life Gene level must reach ninety thousand times! When you achieve this, do not rush to break through to True God; first, come to the Four Great Generals for joint inspection and verification. Second, there are 10,081 basic Xihuang Bureau puzzles; if you can solve all 10,081 in one go, you will meet the requirement."

"Meeting both these points grants immediate conferment, along with numerous privileges, and a status even higher than that of an ordinary Ennobled Expert—equal to that of the Four Great Generals!" The golden figure finished in one breath.

Luo Feng’s eyes widened in response.

Stunned.

Befuddled!

"This is too..." Luo Feng didn't know what to say.

"Who set these conditions?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"His Majesty, the great God-King, personally established them," the golden figure replied.

Luo Feng could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

It was too insane.

The Divine Power path, with a Life Gene level of ninety thousand times. Even in the Ancient Civilization, despite numerous fortuitous encounters and auxiliary items, achieving this was incredibly arduous. Not to mention that in the Jin World, all fortuitous encounters and treasures were controlled within the military; soldiers could not acquire heaven-defying opportunities, yet they were still expected to achieve 'ninety thousand times Life Gene...'

Of course, since he was already walking this path, this requirement was somewhat moot.

Solving 10,081 Xihuang Bureau puzzles in one go?

Damn it!

Although there was no time limit, making a Master of Law solve all 10,081 Xihuang Bureau puzzles in one sitting was simply too insane. Among the historical successors of the Broken East River lineage, no genius figure had managed this while still a Master of Law. It could be said that such a uniquely brilliant figure, once they appeared, would likely find it easy to become the 'new God-King.'

"Both conditions are individually unbelievable," Luo Feng thought to himself. "Anyone who meets these two conditions would find the Eternal True God realm within easy reach, and their future prospects would be limitless—it wouldn't be difficult for them to stand at the pinnacle of the entire Ancient Civilization."

"Madman."

"That God-King truly values the 'Wuqi God,' the True God-level mechanical being he created, so highly. To dare set such conditions..." Luo Feng shook his head. The Ancient Civilization was divided into many factions; Jin was merely one among them. Such peerless geniuses, once discovered, would cause every faction to fight madly to claim them.

Luo Feng shook his head and sighed.

"Didn't you say there were two paths?" Luo Feng looked at the golden figure. "What about the second path?" "His Majesty, the great God-King, knew the first path was too difficult," the golden figure stated coldly. "So, he left behind a second path: any Master of Law may apply for a 'Title Mission.' Upon the start of the mission period, the mission content will be revealed. Complete this mission, and you will be granted conferment."

"Title Mission?" Luo Feng mused.

He understood the mission period.

Every epoch, there was one military mission. Furthermore, within one epoch, there was only this single mission.

If one wished to take another mission, they had to wait for the next epoch to begin!

"What is the fatality rate of the Title Mission?" Luo Feng pressed.

"Title Missions are applied for by soldiers every epoch," the golden figure replied coldly. "Soldiers from the East, West, South, and North Armies participate in the Title Mission together. The death rate for the Title Mission is approximately ninety percent. The remaining ten percent barely manage to survive, and to date, no one has ever completed a Title Mission." Luo Feng gasped.

The Title Mission had existed for immeasurable ages, yet it had never been completed! Ninety percent of participants perished! The ten percent who barely survived were also considered failures.

"What is the content?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Soldier of the Mang River Army, you only need to apply for the mission. When the next mission period arrives, you will know the details," the golden figure stated. "Soldier, an additional reminder: having just joined the army, you should gain more experience through tempering. It is best to undergo several Reincarnation-level missions first. Then, it will not be too late to take on the Title Mission." Luo Feng nodded to show he understood. A vast lake spread out, enveloped in tranquility.

A strange beast hovered in mid-air, a pair of wings on its neck flapping occasionally. It watched the distance anxiously, peering with desperate longing, waiting arduously.

"Why haven't they come yet?"

"It was just one supply point; they should be back by now."

"Please, please don't exchange all the True God corpses for military merit!"

"Yinhe, oh Yinhe, my life is in your hands. I have quite a few treasures on me. I know you want me to trade treasures—I’ll trade, I’ll trade..." Wuhe hovered in the air, mumbling ceaselessly.

It was deeply worried.

Suddenly...

Wuhe's eyes lit up. A figure appeared in the distance, and with just a single flash across the lake's surface, the figure rapidly reached this area.

"Yinhe, Yinhe!" The wings on Wuhe's neck flapped violently, and it shot over with extreme enthusiasm.

Luo Feng glanced at him and smiled, "Don't rush, let's talk once we land."

"Good, good." Wuhe obediently responded.

Luo Feng swooped down onto the island below, and Wuhe followed closely.

"The layout of this island is truly excellent," Wuhe exclaimed, surveying the surroundings. "Everything seems so natural, simple on the surface, but upon closer inspection, there is a unique charm. If I were to arrange it, I couldn't achieve this. Only you, Yinhe, can create such charm with casual placement. Tsk tsk, even my father's arrangements aren't as good as yours."

"This was arranged by a previous soldier," Luo Feng said, casually waving a hand. A stone chair from the front of a nearby house flew over and landed before him. Luo Feng sat down heavily and casually remarked, "I'm lazy; I haven't changed anything."

Wuhe paused slightly, then quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, you are right, Yinhe. One should focus on cultivation; external environments and such are not important. Strength is what matters most."

Luo Feng looked at Wuhe with a slight smile, "Alright, stop flattering me. It's obvious you don't know how to flatter."

Wuhe was immensely embarrassed.

As the child of the master of the Northern True Sea, it had never needed to flatter anyone since childhood; naturally, its 'flattery experience' was lacking.

"I kept that portion for you," Luo Feng said, looking at Wuhe. "You don't need to worry about that."

Wuhe breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, whether you get it depends on your attitude," Luo Feng stated directly. "Take out any good treasures you have."

Wuhe was equally straightforward: "Yinhe, take a look."

Whoosh!

On an empty space nearby, a suit of armor covered in cyan scales materialized. "This is the True God-level battle armor I brought when I first came. It's slightly better than the standard armor of the Mang River Army." It watched Luo Feng's expression intently.

Luo Feng’s eyelids drooped slightly, giving the impression that he didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Wuhe was not at all surprised; it knew that a single True God-level battle armor was unlikely to be enough to exchange for a 'True God corpse.'

"This is the True God-level warship I brought when I left the Northern True Sea to join the army," Wuhe presented the real highlight.

Fwoosh!

An ancient, golden warship settled to one side. Luo Feng’s gaze briefly flickered toward the warship before returning to its drooped position.

Seeing Luo Feng like this, Wuhe immediately grew anxious and rushed to remind him, "Yinhe, this warship is a True God-level warship."

Luo Feng still seemed uninterested.

In reality, Luo Feng was quite pleased inwardly. It really is as I expected. For the child of the Northern True Sea master to venture out carrying a palace-type ultimate supreme treasure for escape is completely normal. However, I must keep pressing; perhaps there are even better items. "At the supply point, this warship would cost at least fifty thousand military merits! It seems this trade will be profitable."

"I, I..." Wuhe, standing there, grew anxious when Luo Feng didn't react.

"These are a large number of weapons and armors belonging to Masters of Law that I collected in the Nine Smoke Marsh; they are all inside this," Wuhe tossed out a bracelet worn on its sharp claw.

Luo Feng glanced at it, still seemingly unconcerned.

Wuhe became genuinely panicked.

"Yinhe, is that about enough?" Wuhe asked Luo Feng with a pained expression.

Only then did Luo Feng truly look at it. The face of that ugly, fierce strange beast, still covered in scales, looked as savage as ever, with only its eyes conveying misery.

"Not enough," Luo Feng whispered softly.

Wuhe looked at Luo Feng with an expression of pity.

But Luo Feng didn't care. He truly didn't believe that the Northern True Sea, such a massive power, would only allow Wuhe to bring such paltry treasures when venturing out. Even if that Northern True Sea master was strict, and this was truly all it brought, couldn't Wuhe return to the Northern True Sea to acquire more treasures?

Since the epoch deadline was still far off, Wuhe could make many round trips to the Northern True Sea.

The Northern True Sea was wealthy and powerful; if Luo Feng didn't squeeze it now, he'd be letting himself down.

"Yinhe," Wuhe gritted its teeth, staring at Luo Feng. "I, I did bring one more treasure when I left. I can give you the treasure, but you must return the warship to me."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

To say this meant that the treasure Wuhe possessed was even more valuable than the warship.

"Show me," Luo Feng’s eyelids lifted immediately; they were now bright, staring intently at Wuhe without blinking.

This is the first of three chapters today!
