Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Legacy
“Upon hearing Cecilia Priest ntion about seizing seven abyssal demon flas from the seven Abyssal Demon Kings of Hell, Song Jian imdiately smirked and refused without hesitation.
After the ga updated the Abyss Demon expansion pack, a lot of information about Abyssal Hell was revealed. Moreover, it includes a profession transfer to abyssal professions that would directly teleport one to Abyssal Hell, essentially changing the map. To return to the main plane of the ga, one must either accept relevant quests or await the true opening of the Abyss Passage;
As for Abyssal Hell, its introduction in the expansion pack only ntioned the existence of seven Abyssal Demon King monarchs therein, unlike Cecilia’s claim of there being eight demon kings;
However, according to Cecilia, the eighth demon king had fallen a long ti ago. Perhaps, that’s why the expansion pack only described the remaining seven Abyssal Demon Kings!
Each of these seven kings is at least a third tier in power. To challenge third-tier power, one needs to reach level 100 after passing first-tier power at level 30 and second-tier power at level 60!
These seven Abyssal Demon Kings have existed for at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years. With Song Jian’s current strength, trying to snatch the abyssal demon fla from them, was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock—only resulting in certain death!
As for the Book of the Abyss upgrading to a Demi-God Artifact, Song Jian thought it was not worth risking his life for such an item;
‘Do you think I would give you a deadly mission?’ Cecilia Priest laughed;
‘Of course not, but…’ Song Jian shrugged, ready to refuse again when Cecilia interrupted him.
‘The seven demon kings disappeared a hundred years ago!’ Cecilia declared;
‘Disappeared?’ Song Jian was taken aback, as this was not ntioned in the expansion pack’s introduction;
‘Yes, the seven demon kings of Abyssal Hell vanished from it a hundred years ago.’ Cecilia explained: ‘So people said they found a better world and left together, while others say they fell from internal strife over a treasure…’
‘There are many legends and nobody knows the real one!’ Cecilia looked at Song Jian and revealed: ‘But the fact is – no demons appeared in Abyssal Hell for a hundred years!’
‘What if they had just gone on vacation and would return in a few days?’ Song Jian shrugged.
‘Even drinking water can be deadly!’ Cecilia laughed;
Song Jian hesitated and said after a while: ‘But aside from the demon kings, there must be formidable creatures in Abyssal Hell, like those second-tier powerhouses…’
‘Indeed, there are powerful creatures in Abyssal Hell…’ Cecilia looked at Song Jian: ‘Not only are they strong, but there are also many of them. But do you think you are the strongest in this world?’
‘But…’ Song Jian hesitated;
‘The inheritance of the Sword Immortal had once appeared in Abyssal Hell!’ Cecilia blurted out.
‘What? The inheritance of the Sword Immortal?’ Song Jian was taken aback. The Sword Immortal had always been the profession he admired most. Despite slim chances, he continued to strive towards this goal;
Among the top ten unique professions, each is hard to achieve. Upon hearing that the Inheritance of the Swordsman Immortal Profession had appeared in Abyssal Hell, Song Jian made up his mind to venture there;
Upon coming to this decision, Song Jian took out a black token from his backpack;
‘A qualification token? You managed to get such a treasure?’ Seeing the token in his hand, Cecilia exclaid in surprise: ‘Such tokens are extrely rare in this world and only appear at specific tis!’
‘What’s the purpose of this token?’ Song Jian asked.
‘By using the qualification token, you would be eligible to enter the Inheritance Tower and face its trials. If you were to pass all of those, the token would grant you the qualifications for one of the ten unique professions. By choosing Sword Immortal, after passing the Trials of the Inheritance Tower, you would be a short step away from becoming a Sword Immortal!’ Cecilia explained.
‘What? It only grants the qualification to beco a Sword Immortal, what’s a preparatory Sword Immortal?’ Song Jian asked with surprise.
‘Did you think it was that easy to get the qualifications for one of the ten unique professions?’ Cecilia said with a cold hum: ‘There hasn’t been a unique profession in thousands of years, all of the deeds attributed to these professions in ga legends were actually accomplished by their preparatory professions. Moreover, the preparatory professions are only half a step away from the ten unique professions. If you take the step, you would beco a being that could match a deity!’
‘Seems like it’s not so easy to take that half-step…’ Song Jian said with a bitter smile;
‘Half a step is a huge difference. If you can step over, you can. If not, even half a step is as insurmountable as an abyss.’ Cecilia said, ‘Those are beings comparable to deities. Do you think the gods would want them to appear?’
Song Jian was stumped. Suddenly, he seed to recall sothing and quickly asked: ‘What did you an by the inheritance of the Sword Immortal being in Abyssal Hell?’
‘It could be so!’ Cecilia corrected: ‘The last real Sword Immortal is said to have perished in Abyssal Hell…’
Song Jian: ‘…’
‘If even the Sword Immortal perished in Abyssal Hell, don’t you dare to say that it’s not a suicide mission!’ Song Jian yelled with anger.
‘That happened thousands of years ago, I don’t know the specifics. I only learned this news from the books of the temple…’ Cecilia shook her head and said, ‘Without the seven demon kings, the power of Abyssal Hell has greatly diminished. Many of the realms it had invaded have now shaken free of its control. Even though it would be dangerous for you to enter, it is not a do or die situation!’
‘So you’re saying that the fallen Sword Immortal might have left his inheritance in Abyssal Hell?’ Song Jian questioned.
‘Maybe he did…’ Cecilia stared into Song Jian’s eyes: ‘This was ntioned in the most important books of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. Do you think the books would ntion sothing irrelevant? Moreover, if you were a Sword Immortal, what would you want to do most before your death?’
‘Have a drink?’ Song Jian shrugged.
‘Very funny!’ Cecilia huffed: ‘Alright, I will ask you for the last ti, will you accept this mission to upgrade the Book of the Abyss to a Demi-God Artifact?’
