System: Warning! Warning!
System: Player has triggered a Sub-Mythical Quest — The Choice of Worlds. Quest objective: Assist Angelica Teresa in becoming the Grand Lord of Meteor Fire City. Reward items: Unknown. Reward: Divine Realm World Authority +2. Quest penalty: Unknown.
System: Player has thirty seconds to consider. If no response is given, acceptance will be assumed.
"A Sub-Mythical Quest?" Shi Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking he must have misheard.
In his knowledge, a Legendary main storyline quest was already the most powerful quest a player could receive. But above that tier, there was one even higher.
That was the Mythical Quest — though such things had always been an unsolved mystery of the Divine Realm. There were only rumors that such quests existed, and no one had ever confirmed with their own eyes whether they were real.
Yet now, a Sub-Mythical Quest had been triggered by him.
"Accept?" Shi Feng couldn't help but hesitate.
A quest like this was probably something you'd only encounter once in a lifetime. He had never heard of anyone receiving such a quest before. It was very likely because he had come to the Divine Realm of the ancient era and encountered a key historical figure, which was why it had been triggered. And at a glance, none of the other players had received such a quest.
He had likely fulfilled certain conditions that made this quest available to him.
But a Legendary Quest alone could cost a player their life. The difficulty of a Sub-Mythical Quest would likely be several times that of a Legendary Quest. If he failed to complete it, the consequences would be several times worse than those of a Legendary Quest…
Yet seeing the +2 to Divine Realm World Authority made Shi Feng's eyes burn with envy.
Divine Realm World Authority — probably not a single current player even knew about this, because it was far too rare. It was generally something you could only obtain through achievements that had a significant impact on the entire Divine Realm.
Anyone who obtained Divine Realm World Authority, even just a single point, would receive benefits beyond imagination. Because this authority, true to its name, meant having privileges.
The major guilds fought tooth and nail just to gain privileges in the War God Temple.
Because once a guild obtained privileges from the War God Temple, it could immediately pull ahead of all other guilds by a wide margin, becoming a true powerhouse guild — an entity nearly impossible to shake.
It was the same for individual players. Once you obtained even a single point of authority, it was as if the entire Divine Realm world had acknowledged you, granting a level of World Affinity that other players could only dream of.
On the surface, this didn't seem to have much use. But the increase in World Affinity allowed a player to perceive magical elements and the rules governing them far more clearly.
In his previous life, the great super guilds would do everything in their power to obtain Divine Realm World Authority points in order to cultivate sixth-tier God-level players. But even those five great super guilds, stirring up the entire Divine Realm for four or five years and causing countless storms, had only managed to obtain a total of three to five authority points between them.
But anyone who obtained those authority points had advanced to the sixth-tier God-level.
Now, a single quest could grant two authority points — how could anyone not be envious? If he succeeded, forget about advancing to the fifth tier in the future; even reaching the sixth tier would become considerably easier.
"Team Leader, are you all right?" Yan Ya noticed that Shi Feng's expression was quite off and couldn't help but worry. "Could it be that you used a combat technique again and overexerted your mental energy?"
They had been rushing the entire way here without any real rest.
The previous battle with Tordelia had already drained Shi Feng enormously. Although he had rested briefly in between, the mental energy he could have recovered was probably quite limited.
"I'm fine." Shi Feng shook his head, then looked at Angelica Teresa, who was sitting on the ground. He gritted his teeth. "Looks like I have no choice but to help."
He hadn't wanted to get involved in this matter, because the old man before had made things perfectly clear.
If he did too much, it would be easy for the Divine Realm world here to detect his presence, and he'd be forcibly sent back. That would be a massive loss.
After all, the environment here was truly excellent. The ancient-era Divine Realm surpassed the current Divine Realm in every way — not just in terms of heritage, but also in various resources and equipment, none of which the current Divine Realm could compare to.
He hadn't even had the chance to properly study how to earn massive resources from here yet, so he naturally couldn't act rashly. That was also why he had chased Naimenkalo away directly.
As for saving NPCs, he naturally didn't want to get involved in that either — especially someone as important as Angelica Teresa.
Letting things develop naturally was the way to go.
