From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

[World Task Reward: Choose one from the following three rewards.]

[1, consume 600 points of Divine Energy to establish a Space Anchor Point. After returning, you can consume Divine Energy to return to the Dragon Sleep World.]

[2, consume 600 points of Divine Energy to delete a skill, retaining the Skill Slot.]

[3, receive a reward of 1500 points of Divine Energy.]

As expected, eliminating the Flame Demon Gros is the world task of this Abyss Battlefield.

Generally speaking, relying solely on the power of the summoner, it's impossible to complete the world task.

Each world task is an event significant enough to change the landscape of the summoned world.

Whether helping the Elf Clan eliminate the Bloodline Demon King in the Elf World; or eliminating the Abyss Tumor in Sikes Civilization; or this time, helping the Black Iron Dwarves and the Sea Demon Clan eliminate Flame Demon Gros; these world tasks couldn't be completed with the summoner's capabilities alone at the time.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the summoner didn't contribute to the events.

In these world tasks, Lu Heng played a crucial role.

For example, this time in eliminating Flame Demon Gros.

Without Lu Heng aiding the reconciliation between the Black Iron Dwarves and the Sea Demon Clan, there wouldn't have been a final cooperation between the two races to resist Flame Demon Gros.

It was the same in Sikes Civilization. If it weren't for Lu Heng leading the team into the underground laboratory to discover the Abyss Tumor, Sikes wouldn't have launched a nuclear bomb to destroy the Abyss Tumor.

If you're not on M*VLEM*PYR, you're viewing a copy.

Lu Heng looked at the three rewards and considered which one to choose.

Actually, all three rewards are optional.

The second reward, deleting a skill while retaining the Skill Slot, would allow him to delete [Spiritual Dominance], freeing up a skill spot.

Technically speaking, [Spiritual Dominance] belongs to Spiritual Skills, and Lu Heng is not considered a spiritual type.

Of course, it's not that superpower users of other types can't master [Spiritual Dominance]; as long as one's Spiritual Attribute is high enough, it can have a strong effect.

In fact, Lu Heng's Spiritual Attribute is not low, and even when facing opponents of the spiritual type, with the help of Aurora Blade's [Spirit Slash] special effect, he can suppress spiritual opponents and dominate their consciousness.

This skill has played a great role in both Abyss Battlefields.

For instance, this time in the Sea Demon World, without [Spiritual Dominance], it would have been impossible to reclaim the [Heart of the Tides] from Gilbert Ocam.

Therefore, Lu Heng finds this skill very useful, although it doesn't have high synergy with other skills.

In addition, a new reward has been added, which is a reward of 1500 points of Divine Energy.

This reward is actually quite good, as it provides a substantial amount of Divine Energy.

However, after careful consideration, Lu Heng finally decided to choose the first reward, to establish a Space Anchor Point, which allows consumption of Divine Energy to return to the Dragon Sleep World.

The main purpose for this choice is not to maintain contact with the Sea Demon Clan, but to keep in touch with the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

Moreover, this Space Anchor Point allows contact with two civilizations, making it highly cost-effective.

With this Space Anchor Point, it can strengthen the connection between Quenching Castle and the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom, reinforcing this relationship, which will be very helpful for future development.

After choosing, the surrounding environment gradually restored, returning to the Dragon Power Base.

This time, there were a total of thirteen warriors summoned to the Sea Demon World, and they spent 30 days there.

Only 3 days had passed on Blue Star.

Lu Heng hadn't opened his eyes yet but he heard Jian Qing's voice.

"Gather, attention, count off!"

Liu Haiyang, Jiang Shaoran, Xu Jitong, and other warriors with a military background responded quickly, immediately forming a line and starting to count off:

"One, two, three, four..."

They finally counted to "nine."

Liu Haiyang glanced back at Lu Heng's group of four, and finally reported, "Report to Shangguan, summoned team of thirteen, all returned without casualties."

"At ease!"

After giving the command, Jian Qing continued, "After I finish speaking, you can all disband. After disbanding, take a day off and return the next day to report on the work at the Abyss Battlefield."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The nine warriors with a military background answered in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Lu Heng's team of four had not served in the military, so they didn't react to the command to gather.

Besides, Lu Heng's rank in Dragon Power is higher than Jian Qing's, so he doesn't need to follow the command.

"Dismiss." Jian Qing announced the dismissal, then waved Liu Haiyang over and asked, "The higher-ups are waiting for the Abyss Battlefield report, so you should go and make the report first and then rest."

"Alright, no problem." Liu Haiyang nodded in agreement.

After everyone waved to Lu Heng, they left the gathering hall and went their separate ways.

Liu Haiyang went to make the Abyss Battlefield report, while only Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong remained.

The two originally had something to say, but Jian Qing began to speak warmly with Lu Heng, leaving them no chance to interject.

Seeing the two waiting by the side, Lu Heng nodded to them and said, "The matters I promised you on the Abyss Battlefield still hold. You can handle the specific process. I have no problem here, and the evaluation will follow the special operations team procedures."

Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong wanted to discuss joining the special ops team. Originally, they didn't like the ocean system skills they had.

After experiencing the Sea Demon World, they finally understood the importance of the ocean system enhancement route.

Technically, the ocean system enhancement is not a universal enhancement route, but it targets sea operations.

Except for a few strong superpower users standing at the peak, most superpower users should choose a specialized route.

Given Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong's talent and combat power, it's unlikely they could command thunder at peak combat power.

Instead of having a disparate Skill Set and getting lost among the superpower user crowd, it's better to pursue the ocean system enhancement route.

The ocean system enhancement path is still a blue ocean with almost no competition, and the crystal core prices are low, allowing one to receive resource support from the war zone by taking this path.

Therefore, with suitable talents and Skill combinations, choosing the ocean system enhancement route now is the wisest choice.

Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong had considered for many days and now clearly saw the true power of Lu Heng.

Combat power was secondary; Lu Heng's greatest charm was his cohesion with companions and control over the Abyss World.

That he could reconcile hostile groups like the Black Iron Dwarves and the Sea Demon Clan is something they never dared to dream of, but Lu Heng achieved it.

Therefore, Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong now only wanted to join the special ops team and receive guidance from Lu Heng, just like Liu Haiyang and the others.

Lu Heng had already promised them at the Tidal Sea, so he asked them to go back and handle the paperwork.

As for whether they could transfer to the special ops team, that was not something Lu Heng could decide.

Both of them were sent from other war zones, and to transfer, they needed to return to their original units, submit an application, and wait for approval to transfer.

Having received permission, Xu Jitong and Cai Jinhong hurriedly took their leave and returned to their original war zones.

...

Jian Qing watched their departing figures and said with a smile, "Your charm is quite strong; in just a few days, you're already starting to poach from other war zones."

Lu Heng chuckled, shifting the topic, "How long have you been waiting here?"

Earlier, when teleportation occurred, Jin Qing and the logistics personnel had been waiting here from the start, waiting for the summoned team to return.

In the Sea Demon World, 30 days had passed, but only 3 days passed on Blue Star.

Jian Qing casually replied: "We haven't waited long. According to the usual duration of the Abyss Battlefield, it lasts 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, and so on."

Therefore, they gathered the logistics team here every half-day, waiting for the return of the summoned team to see if any logistical help was needed.

For example, in case of injuries, they needed to be prepared to help upon return.
