Main Quest: Secret Realm Trial

Quest Requirements: Enter the Secret Realm Square-Inch, defeat no less than five Spirit Refining Stage prodigies within the trials of the Secret Realm, and emerge victorious in the final Secret Realm Trial. (There must be no fewer than ten competing sects vying for the grotto heavens blessed land in the Secret Realm, with at least three Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands involved in the ordeal.)

Quest Reward: Humanity Fate

This was the main quest that Shen Yuan had previously triggered, and it was also the reason why he had gone to great lengths to create the Secret Realm Square-Inch.

As soon as Shen Yuan was the last to leave the Secret Realm Square-Inch, and the entrance to the Secret Realm began to close, the main quest of the Secret Realm Trial had already entered the settlement phase.

Yet due to Shen Yuan’s deliberate scheming which led to a task change, coupled with the immediate danger posed by the ambush from the Capital City God upon his exit, Shen Yuan had not taken the time to carefully inspect the information within.

Only when Emperor Xia mentioned it did Shen Yuan remember the main quest reward.

As he revisited the task records, following the completion of the trials within the Secret Realm Square-Inch, the entire quest had undergone earth-shattering changes.

System: Upon detection, the trial Secret Realm in which the host has participated far exceeds the rank of ordinary minor worlds, upgrading the task…

Upon detection, the sects involved in the Secret Realm Square-Inch trial include 8 Great Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands, 30 Grotto Heavens, 56 Blessed Lands; its standards greatly exceed those of ordinary Secret Realm trials, upgrading the task…

Upon detection, within the participants of the trial there are sixteen Spirit Refining True Beings, one Return-to-Void Great True Being, one Netherworld deity, and one Golden Immortal’s projection; the difficulty of the Secret Realm Trial has greatly increased, upgrading the task…

Upon detection, within the Secret Realm Trial resides Major Path Original Will, transforming into heavenly calamities of dao marks; its rank far surpasses the lower realms tier, upgrading the task…

After a series of complex garbled codes, the finally stabilized system provided the ultimate settlement.

System: This Secret Realm trial is determined to be an experience across worlds; the host, in the identity of the forefather of the Falling Clouds Sect, has excelled above others, greatly contributing to the spreading of the name of Falling Clouds Sect throughout the myriad heavens.

Quest Reward: Humanity Major Trend!

This is the final reward for Shen Yuan’s main quest, the great influence over humanity presided by the Mortal Emperor.

According to Shen Yuan’s guess, the original quest reward of humanity fate should have been equivalent to the situation where one is favored by humanity’s fate, much like a dynasty’s senior minister.

Such a reward would be consistent with the difficulty of a normal Secret Realm Trial, and indeed, for a cultivator, being favored by humanity fate would bring many conveniences.

However, after Shen Yuan’s manipulations, added to Bai Yun, the current Golden Immortal taking an active part in the affair, the reward escalated from being merely favored by humanity fate to grasping the Humanity Major Trend.

“Doesn’t this directly create an alternative embodiment of the Mortal Emperor?”

Having learned the importance of the Humanity Major Trend from Emperor Xia, and then considering the quest reward he had just received, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but be somewhat astonished.

He really hadn’t anticipated the system would throw out such a heavy bomb, the ability to manipulate humanity’s fate, which almost represented the authority of half the office of the Mortal Emperor.

The essence of the Humanity Major Trend should be the mandate to control humanity’s fate, which is also the foundation of the Mortal Emperor.

Even after the eras passed since the time of the Great Schism, the seat of the Mortal Emperor may not be as revered as it was in Ancient Times, but it remains powerful enough to suppress heaven and earth, especially so in the Primal Chaos Realm where humanity’s path is supreme.

As long as he is within the territory of Jing Province, Shen Yuan can harness humanity’s fate to empower himself and control the Imperial Capital Great Array Formation to suppress formidable enemies.

Moreover, with the Humanity Major Trend at his side, as the master of the human path, Shen Yuan stands a chance to reach beyond the Primal Chaos Realm without being backfired by the human path’s artifact, the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

This is also why Emperor Xia could trade with the Primal Chaos Realm without being suppressed by the Nine Provinces Cauldron that shelters the realm.

If it were anyone else, the moment they communicated with forces outside the Primal Chaos Realm, the Nine Provinces Cauldron would have already descended to eliminate them.

Such a tremendous surprise left Shen Yuan momentarily stunned.

However, after the initial surge of emotions subsided, Shen Yuan seriously pondered the advantages and disadvantages, realizing that the Humanity Major Trend was not as extraordinary as he had imagined.

If he himself wielded the Humanity Major Trend, the one person he could not avoid would be the current Mortal Emperor.

If it were as in ten thousand years prior, when the Mortal Emperor was still at the height of his power, his imperial aura supported by the majestic will of the dynasty, even if Shen Yuan possessed the Humanity Major Trend, he would not be able to contest the control over humanity’s fate with the Mortal Emperor.

In such a situation, the Humanity Major Trend would not be able to reveal its power and would at best covertly manipulate a portion of humanity’s fate to avoid suppression by the military arrays and formations of the dynasty, a consolation if nothing else.

For the present Shen Yuan, his greatest advantage is not the Humanity Major Trend awarded by the system, but his own inherent ability to influence major trends.

With both combined, the effect far exceeds that of Emperor Xia, a Mortal Emperor with an incomplete mantle.

Stilling the fluctuations of his emotions, Shen Yuan accepted the quest reward under Emperor Xia’s disdainful gaze.

Accompanied by an invisible wave emanating from the depths of his True Spirit, Shen Yuan suddenly discovered that the world before his eyes seemed to have undergone a dramatic transformation.

What lay within his field of vision was no longer just the present world but a vast ocean of golden human fate.

Above the Imperial Capital converged the entirety of Great Xia’s humanity fate, its imposing manner vast and blinding.

Within this vast ocean of fate, two slightly larger shades were connected, each occupying a part of humanity’s fate.

One burned brightly like a flame, with humanity’s fate continuously converging around her, vaguely suggesting the ascent of a dragon; there was no doubt this was Xia Yunqiu.

The other, dull in color like a shattered jar, from which humanity’s fate was constantly leaking to the outside world, was naturally the dethroned Mortal Emperor Xia.
