Born Sacred

Chapter 113: Anomaly!

"Mythical Three Kingdoms?"

Hearing the system prompt, Noah couldn’t help but be startled. He hadn’t expected that even the instance had changed.

Fortunately, it hadn’t changed to a completely different instance.

Mythical Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff and Burning of Red Cliff were clearly related, so his prior preparations wouldn’t be wasted.

With a flash of light, the five people disappeared from their original location and entered the instance.

...

[Advancement Instance: Mythical Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff]

[Level: Tier 2]

[Difficulty: Extremely Difficult]

[Mission: Kill the Third Generation Ghost God Lazarus]

[Content: Since the Immortal Vane’s entire nation ascended, the path of cultivation in the human world has gradually declined. In 23 AD, Emperor of Vesper, Lazarus, struck down countless stars with a single sword, marking the last brilliance of the path of cultivation.

In 184 AD, the Great Teacher Zion gathered the power of the common people and, at the cost of his life, shattered the Vesper Empire’s dragon vein, pushing this ancient empire towards its end. From then on, dragons and snakes rose from the land, heaven and earth overturned. After countless brutal slaughters, the world situation gradually became clear.

King of Weston, Charles, commanded an army of a million, with fierce generals like clouds and strategists like rain under his command. Leveraging the invincible momentum of unifying the north, he led his troops south, seeking to end this chaotic era, and confronted King of Waltham, Samuel, who occupied Jericho, and King of Vane, Lazarus, at Red Cliff. The battle was on the verge of breaking out...]

After hearing the system prompt, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Myth, Mythical Three Kingdoms?" Zara was dumbfounded. "Isn’t it Burning of Red Cliff? How did it become Mythical Three Kingdoms? And this background introduction is too outrageous."

"Indeed, this is the most exaggerated instance introduction I’ve ever seen." Rose affirmed her words.

"Not to mention that Immortal Vane, Emperor Lazarus of Vane had power to strike down countless stars with a single sword... How could this kind of power be a Tier 2 instance? Five-Order expert, 6th-Order would be normal, right?" Zara said, shivering as a weak Tier 2.

"The background says that the path of cultivation is gradually declining. Two hundred years later, the power level of the Three Kingdoms must be weaker, probably around Tier 2 to Three-order." Claire said hesitantly, as if worried about misleading everyone. She quickly added, "Of course, this is just my guess, it might be higher."

"Assume the enemy is strong." Smith nodded in agreement.

Noah rubbed his forehead with a headache. "What are your missions?"

"My mission is to kill any military general from the Weston faction." Zara replied.

"Mine too." Claire nodded.

"Same." Rose and Smith also said.

"Noah, is your mission different from ours?" Claire’s mind worked quickly, thinking of the reason Noah would ask this.

Generally speaking, as a team of five, the main missions are shared. As long as one person completes it, everyone completes it. This time, it was the same for Rose and the others.

Noah, however, was different.

"Because of my Talent’s Ascension, my main mission is separate." Noah stated his mission.

"Lazarus? At this point in time, didn’t he die long ago?" Zara was greatly shocked. "And what the heck is the Third Generation Ghost God?"

"Speaking of which, Charles, Samuel, and Lazarus hadn’t claimed kingship during this period." Claire’s expression was solemn. "When I saw the background introduction earlier, I thought only the power level was exaggerated, and other things should be unchanged. Now it seems the general trend hasn’t changed, but there are many differences in the details. Some people who should have died might still be alive now."

"For example, Lazarus, Darius, Garem..."

"Our missions shouldn’t be difficult. There are many military generals in the Weston faction, and their strength varies greatly. But Lazarus has always been the martial powerhouse of the Three Kingdoms."

"No matter."

Noah waved his hand. For this Ascension, he had prepared for ten days. Even if Lazarus was Fourth Order, he would dare to challenge him.

"Let’s gather information first. This instance is very different from the orthodox Three Kingdoms. Let’s not jump to conclusions."

At this moment, the one-minute preparation time ended.

The five officially entered the instance.

The location they entered was in the bustling market of a town, with many people coming and going.

The Eye of Investigation appeared on Noah’s shoulder.

What was astonishing was that this instance lived up to its name of Mythical. The Ordinary people in the background were actually First Order, and the soldiers in the city were Tier 2, exceeding the detection range of the Eye of Investigation.

It was conceivable that the military generals must be Three-order existences.

"What a huge city." Zara exclaimed.

This town was completely unknown in the orthodox Three Kingdoms. However, as they looked now, they saw only high and thick walls, imposing soldiers and armor, covering an area of dozens of square miles. And on the edge of the town, four thick city walls, a hundred meters high, stood tall, making people awe-struck.

"It truly lives up to its name as Mythical Three Kingdoms. This is just an Ordinary town, and the city walls are already this exaggerated. What kind of terrifying scale would those military strongholds have?" Claire was full of shock.

Only this ancient era with mythical colors could have such terrifying productivity.

But thinking about it, it was normal. The Ordinary people in this world were all First Order, Tier 2 were everywhere, and there were quite a few Three-order. If the city walls weren’t high and thick, they wouldn’t serve any purpose in blocking the enemy.

"I suspect that when wars break out in this world, their power might not be inferior to modern warfare."

Zara said she didn’t understand but was greatly shocked.

Noah nodded.

Blue Star’s heavy weapons were only at the Tier 2 level, and in the information they had gathered, there were rumors of top military generals shooting down a mountain with one arrow, and two people fighting a great battle causing rivers to dry up. Even excluding exaggerated elements, the scale of warfare in this world could be seen.

"Let’s find a faction to join first. We can’t gather important information outside. Your mission is to kill a military general from the Weston faction, so you can choose either the Waltham or Vane factions. As for me, I’ll see which faction Lazarus is in first." Noah said.

"The Battle of Red Cliff will take a considerable amount of time to finish. We don’t have that much time, so let’s focus on completing the missions. There’s no need to deeply participate in the plot."

This was also Noah’s consistent approach.

In the Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City instance, he didn’t participate in the subsequent plot.

After all, he didn’t need to write a guide, so there was no need to delve that deeply.

...

In Gable, on a platform reaching into the clouds, a sickly scholar looked up at the sky, a faint blue light appearing in his eyes.

This Ordinary blue sky in the eyes of common people was a different scene in his eyes. He saw a huge Emperor Star in the north, brilliant and bright, shining in all directions, surrounded by dozens of stars. In the south, two large star clusters, centered around two dim stars, supported each other, together resisting the invasion of the northern stars, but clearly at a disadvantage.

The general trend of the world was gradually becoming clear.

However, just then, a blood-red star suddenly appeared in the Starry Sky, fierce and unparalleled, crashing towards the northern stars.

Immediately, the Star Emperor swayed, and the stars dimmed.

"Not good."

The scholar’s face instantly turned as pale as paper. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining his clothes.

"An anomaly star has entered the world, it’s dangerous!"
