--- Chapter 217 ---

Baek Ain stared at the new system panel dumbly.

[Ding! You have triggered a hidden quest]

[Name: Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb!]

[Description: Fire Emperor is one of many Dou God Experts in the Ancient Era, only lost to the Tou She Ancient God. He was known for his eccentric personality and heavenly mastery over fire elements. Sadly, no one ever heard of Fire Emperor again after all 'Dou God Experts' mysteriously vanished from Dou Qi Continent]

[You have recovered the one and only Fire Emperor's Crown, which is a key to Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb, the infamous Secret Realm that disappeared in another dimension]

[Objective: Find and Inherit the Fire Emperor's Legacy(0/2)]

[Time Limit: 24 hours]

[Reward: 1x A Completed Burning Soul Technique(SSS), Fire Emperor's Flame(SS+), Fire Emperor's Cloak(SS+)]

[Penalty: Locked in the Alternative Battle Through the Heaven World forever, and your cultivation wouldn't raise past Dou Saint Realm]

[Note: The hidden quest accepted involuntarily due to your possession of Fire Emperor's Crown]

"I knew it." A bitter smile formed on Baek Ain's handsome face.

"I shouldn't have done the gathering quest. Aih, my greed for the Fire God's Crystal(High) bites me back on the ass."

[This... It might not be a bad thing, Host] Alicia said unsurely.

"And why so, Alicia?" Baek Ain was used to this kind of treatment. He only sighed and brushed the annoyance off.

[I don't know how to explain Fire Emperor's achievement in a short sentence, but I will try my best...]

[If I'm not wrong, Fire Emperor was one of the irregulars who ascended to another world instead of this higher realm, Great Thousand Worlds]

[Don't be fooled by the quest's introduction because the Tou She Ancient God couldn't even hold the coat of the current Fire Emperor!]

Baek Ain was dumbfounded, "There is such a thing? A native ascending from an Alternative Battle Through the Heavens to another world like a different universe is possible?"

[If you can, it doesn't mean others can't, Host]

[All one needs is a chance...]

[Do you perhaps forget that this alternative reality was 'literally' created by the Goddess of Opportunity?]

"Opportunity." Baek Ain put the dots together.

"Why did she do this, though."

[According to my own research, the Goddess of Opportunity seemed to dislike the Main Characters, or what is commonly known as the protagonists and son of destiny]

[That's why she mainly gives her blessing to the underdog individuals, hoping they could break, or at least surpass the protagonists]

[Of course, this is only my conclusion]

[A being like the Goddess of Opportunity is tough to read]

"Hmm." Baek Ain rubbed his chin and somewhat agreed with Alicia's conclusion. Yet something inside Baek Ain's heart told him there was much more about the Goddess of Opportunity's mindset and goal.

"Anyway, when can I start this quest?"

[Anytime] Alicia answered casually.

[All you need to do is infuse your Soul Power into the Fire Emperor's Crown]

[But I advised you to make some preparations first]

Baek Ain nodded in understanding but still asked, "Is it that bad?"

[It is that bad, Host]

[You might find some unknown variables out there]

"Very well." Baek Ain glanced at the Inner Fire Veins and walked to his residence. As Baek Ain jumped a few times in the air and landed at his residence's front gate, he remembered he hadn't checked the Fire Emperor's Crown.

"Might as well... Damn."

Baek Ain checked the introduction of Fire Emperor's Crown and was stunned by it.

[Name: Fire Emperor's Crown]

[Type: Ancient Artifact/Head's Accessory]

[Grade: SS+]

[Description: A fiery red crown made of Mystical Fire Crystals, an ancient mineral found in the Planet's Core. It possessed the lingering power of Fire Emperor, as well as his young will to become an expert]

[Note: Anyone who put a soul mark on this crown gained the highest qualification to enter the Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb]

[1st Effect: Granting title "Fire Emperor's Royal Inheritor" upon wearing Fire Emperor's Crown]

[Fire Emperor's Royal Inheritor may receive a privilege when entering the Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb and allowed to take three Royal Treasuries]

[2nd Effect: Granting title "Fire Emperor's Zero Disciple." upon wearing the Fire Emperor's Crown]

[Fire Emperor's Zero Disciple may receive a privilege when entering the Fire Emperor's Hidden Library and allowed to take three Divine Books]

[3rd Effect: Increase the wearer's strength by two folds, and Fire Affinity automatically reaches SS-Grade]

Baek Ain blinked in awe and couldn't help but ask his system, "Alicia, are you sure this is just an SS+ Grade Item?"

Some of his SS+ Grade Items weren't this fancy.

[Well, this place-specified item is useless elsewhere] Alicia commented bluntly]

[Even the Third Effect wouldn't increase your strength by much, Host]

[A mere 2x strength boost... You're not this cheap]

The corner of Baek Ain's mouth twitched because Alicia was right.

The Golden Crow's Possession alone has become more mighty as Baek Ain's growth transcends the norm.

In the past, Golden Crow's Possession increased Baek Ain's cultivation base by five minor realms, but it could increase his strength to a whole realm because his body can handle it now.

And we haven't counted many other skills.

Heck! Baek Ain's newest loot, the Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes from the Burning Flame Valley, could increase his cultivation base based on how many Heavenly Flames he had.

What's a double-strength boost? That's just trash!

And let's not get started on the fire affinity increase. Baek Ain has the blessing of Golden Crow, which means his fire affinity is beyond SSS already.

Baek Ain shook his head and called his lovers over.

He waited a few minutes at his residence.

Baek Ain has prepared everything he needs for this short trial and finished by the time his lovers finally arrive.

"Ain, we are here." Their sweet voices awakened him.

"Mm." Baek Ain smiled while sitting under a shady tree.

"I have something to do, so I can't stay in the Burning Flame Valley for another twenty hours."

"This... Isn't this too sudden?" Lan Rou couldn't help but frown.

Baek Ain chuckled and showed them the Fire Emperor's Crown, "I just excavated this from the Inner Fire Veins, so don't tell Ancestor Huo Yun about this."

"That thing... " Luo Bingbing could feel immense power from the fiery red crown.

"It's called Fire Emperor's Crown." Baek Ain answered her curiosity. "This is the key to enter Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb."

"Then, why didn't you bring us there like usual?" Yi Xian complained with a pout. "Also, where is this tomb located?"

Baek Ain gave her a sorry look and returned, "I can't. The Royal Tomb is 'actually' located in a completely different plane of existence. Simply put, it was outside this world."

"Bingbing, just how dangerous such a place could be." He added, to which Luo Bingbing responded with a nod.

"Traveling between planes is always dangerous." Luo Bingbing said. "Still, I never heard of the Fire Emperor's name before."

"Even in the Great Thousand World, I didn't know experts with such a name."

Luo Bingbing stared at Baek Ain silently. She had a bold guess but decided not to pry too much into her husband's matter.

If he said it would be a dangerous experience, it would be so for them.

Qing Lin hugged Baek Ain and said, "Please be safe, hubby."

"I will wait for your return."

"Don't worry. I will be back in a day." Baek Ain hugged her back.

"That's why I wanted you guys to stick to the plan and ambush the Hun Clan and remnants of Hall of Souls at the Gu Ancestral Mountain Range."

Lan Rou walked and hugged Baek Ain as well.

Then, Yi Xian and Luo Bingbing followed suit and suffocated Baek Ain with their alluring bodies.

Baek Ain doesn't want to leave if possible.

However, Baek Ain couldn't miss the Fire Emperor's Legacy, someone who ascended beyond normality.

After kissing his lovers goodbye, Baek Ain followed Alicia's instruction to put his Soul Power on the Fire Emperor's Crown and waved his hands at them.

"See you soon in a day." Baek Ain's body faded into nothingness.

Lan Rou, Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Luo Bingbing stared at the empty air longingly.

"Ain, please come back soon." They had the same thought.

...

Outside the Boundary of Alternative Great Thousand World, Baek Ain was 'thoroughly' surrounded by crimson fireflies and saw countless stars in the dark space.

[Host, prepare your skills. It will be chaotic]

[We will enter the Fire Emperor's Royal Tomb in Five...]

[Four]

[Three]

[Two]

[One!]

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Baek Ain crashed against this membrane-like substance and landed heavily on the ground. He activated Ashen God's Eyes and cursed inwardly, 'Shit!'

Baek Ain was 'awkwardly' surrounded by several powerful existences.
