Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 271: Chapter 136: The Beginning of the Legend_1

Climb to the top of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, leaving behind your own legend in the Primal Chaos Realm!

Seeing the contents of this sub-quest, Shen Yuan’s entire body stiffened on the spot, his slightly trembling pupils revealing the turmoil within him.

Shen Yuan had learned from Gong Buyu that, a myriad of years ago, the Supreme Taoist had ascended to the highest level of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, overwhelming his peers and becoming a legend spoken of for millennia.

In Shen Yuan’s eyes, as the legitimate Supreme Taoist of his time, this was naturally because the Falling Clouds Sect had been unable, for a long time, to locate any trace of the Supreme Taoist, and so had purposefully fabricated stories to circulate amongst the people, in order to deter the other grotto heavens and blessed lands.

Shen Yuan, during his encounter with Yunmeng Dragon Monarch and Kuang Tianjie, the lord of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path, had come to understand some of the deeds of the Falling Clouds Sect a myriad of years ago, as well as the various tales spreading the name of the Supreme Taoist, which served to validate Shen Yuan’s conjecture.

However, upon travelling back through time with the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order to reverse a myriad of years, and return to the great age of cultivation that occurred all those years ago, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Falling Clouds Sect no longer existed!

This Supreme Immortal Sect, which occupied a region of grotto heavens, had Earth Immortals to rely on, disseminated Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, and was not inferior to the 10 Great Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands, had disappeared.

In the calamity of sect-wide ascension, what the Falling Clouds Sect lost were not merely records in historical documents, but its very existence was erased from the timeline.

In this era when the Falling Clouds Sect should have overawed the world, the legacy and strongmen of the Falling Clouds Sect no longer existed, and even the genius disciples of these grotto heavens and blessed lands had no way of knowing the name of the Falling Clouds Sect.

Shen Yuan, who should have been erased along with his identity as the Supreme Taoist, on the contrary, arrived a full ten millennia late, and thus was unaffected by anything related to the Falling Clouds Sect.

The top brass of the Falling Clouds Sect had fabricated a pretense in secret for the Supreme Taoist before the sect’s ascension, and those false tales about the Supreme Taoist that spread to later generations should have dissipated along with the erasure of the Falling Clouds Sect.

Yet, an astonishing coincidence seemed to reincarnate at this very moment.

“The task given by the system is to have me ascend to the top of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

Since I am the Supreme Taoist of the Falling Clouds Sect, I should become a legend in the Primal Chaos Realm after ascending the tower.

This would mean that the name that is celebrated in the future is not due to any covertly fabricated pretense by the Falling Clouds Sect, but due to what I actually experienced.”

“I will leave a legend of my own in the Primal Chaos Realm, coming from tens of thousands of years in the future!”

Shen Yuan’s mind was severely shaken.

At this moment, he could not even distinguish whether the origin of the Supreme Taoist’s legend was actually his own personal experience, or the result of the crafting of the high-ranking members of the Falling Clouds Sect.

The linear history should have been turned into a twisted Möbius strip under his intervention, the beginning of the legend, and the spacetime of tens of thousands of years in the future were connected at this moment.

Thinking about this, Shen Yuan shifted his gaze to the system interface in front of him.

All these causes and effects seemed to be due to that one Heaven’s Decree Secret Order as a reward from the system.

Shen Yuan could not even determine whether this was the system doing it on purpose or merely a coincidence.

Glancing over the words on the Sub-Quest Interface, Shen Yuan’s thoughts churned.

Right when the system issued the task just now, he faintly felt that something about the system seemed to have changed.

After arriving ten millennia late, the logic of the system still seemed to be stuck in that period ten millennia prior, it demonstrated a kind of formalized, rigid loop and an endless stream of self-contradictory bugs, leading Shen Yuan to affectionately nickname it the Artificial Intelligence System.

It was precisely because of the system’s own bugs that Shen Yuan was able to complete the hidden mission with such ease.

Yet now, the system actually triggered a sub-quest with such a coincidence at this Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, making Shen Yuan vaguely feel as if the system had gained an extra ounce of intelligence.

It was as if the time Shen Yuan had leaped through had allowed the system’s twisted, chaotic logic to return to normal, which was no longer the rigid Artificial Intelligence System from before.

For Shen Yuan, who was not familiar with the changes that had occurred over the span of tens of thousands of years, this was not good news.

Because he had already vaguely noticed that behind the Artificial Intelligence System was a trap, and it was only because he had arrived ten millennia late and was able to take advantage of a bug that he could reap the benefits so easily.

The sub-quest given by the system, which had returned to normal, made him feel somewhat hesitant.

“The legends from tens of thousands of years later, and the sub-quest given by the Artificial Intelligence System, are all guiding me to the top of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

If I reject this sub-quest, will the legend still be passed on? Will the Artificial Intelligence System be affected in some other way?”

Shen Yuan’s thoughts were fluctuating, but his gaze ultimately fell to the four words – Reward Unknown.

“The rewards given by sub-quests are generally not affected by the system, such as the previous apprenticeship gift by a sub-quest, which was prepared by Ancestor Gong from Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

If nothing goes wrong, this sub-quest should be the same.

Related to climbing the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, could the reward be to become the host of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda? Or perhaps it’s related to that Heaven’s Decree Secret Order that brought me into the Ingenious Tiny World?”

Shen Yuan fell into contemplation because of the various hidden secrets within.

Just as Shen Yuan was deep in thought, the geniuses from all the major sects took note of Shen Yuan’s changing demeanor.

The geniuses of the major sects had not heard about the Falling Clouds Sect and thought Shen Yuan was from a little-known minor sect. However, they were somewhat curious about Wen TianTai’s lavishly praised flying sword technique.

Wen TianTai came from the Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens, and his flying sword technique was not weak among the Spirit Transmutation cultivators. Therefore, anyone earning Wen TianTai’s praise must certainly be extraordinary.
