Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 544 - 145: You’re Right, But This Is the Wasteland’s Night (6K Votes for Monthly Pass)

"Calculating your legendary achievements for this session..."

"You walked on thin ice all your life, enduring untold hardships, and wanted to uphold the dynasty, but things always went awry, witnessing the collapse of the empire with your own eyes! You have achieved the title: ’Last Emperor.’"

"As a child, you incited others to become your Death Soldiers, as you grew older you led them in sensual pleasures, and later even enticed others to join you in Heavenly Defiance. Your life has been one of influencing others. You have achieved the title: ’Instigator.’"

"With your own hands, you severed the last stroke of fate for the Daqian Empire, pulled out the hidden True Dragon Emperor, and killed him on the spot; you have achieved the title: ’Dragon Slayer!’"

"Being of noble blood, you have drawn the wrath of the heavens. To save the people, when you prayed for rain, there were torrents; when you prayed for cessation, there was desolation! You have achieved the title: ’Hero to a fault, bane of the country.’"

"In your life, you refused to bow to the heavens or the earth. When heaven would not have you, you defied it, trampled the Heavenly Dao underfoot, and created an era of ’Man over heavenly fate’—you have achieved the title: ’Era of Defiance Established!’"

...

"Final Evaluation:

"Does the era make the hero, or does the hero make the era?

"No one can say for sure; there are a thousand opinions among a thousand people.

"But in your case, there is no doubt, it is the latter!

"With your own power, you have unveiled a battle against the heavens, elevating this otherwise banal world to an entirely new level!

"You are the tide of the age, the leader of the world, the true pioneer! You have infused the heritage of Unyielding Will into the people of this world; from this day forward, humanity will be spirited and fleshly, irreverent towards ghosts and deities, reliant only on effort, to overcome fate!"

"You have received an Altar: Martial Artist (Flawless)"

"Your legend did not trigger the Heavenly Defiance rating this time, but you have directly defied the heavens, and thus your reward is upgraded by one level."

Altar·Martial Artist (Flawless) "Altar·Martial Artist (Epic)

"Altar·Martial Artist (Epic): A small altar with various weapon icons drawn on it, which can only become effective when set up within any border region. By sacrificing enough life to Lie Zhenzi at the altar, you can obtain a seal, which can then be used to create a Curse Seal, and guarantees the production of an Epic level Martial Artist path Curse Seal."

"Reminder: The life used for the sacrifice must be human, and of course Lie Zhenzi does not care whether you sacrifice the good or the bad, it’s up to you."

...

As the calculation finished, Xu Shu retracted his gaze from the Tai Chu Scroll.

The small altar, covered with icons of swords and spears, was now safely in his inventory.

Although this adventure gave him a dream-like sensation, the outcome was good.

The fusion of one Purple Fate Chart with another made manipulation much easier; with just a little effort, he successfully elevated the reward level.

In the past, achieving a high evaluation finale required a lot of brainstorming and manipulation; this time, he accomplished it with ease, giving Xu Shu an unreal sense of illusion.

"Could this be a dream?"

Xu Shu pinched his own face.

It did not hurt.

As Iron Armor, his skin was thick.

So he intensified his efforts, slapping himself several times, making a crisp sound.

It then hurt, slightly.

It seemed that it wasn’t a dream.

"Eh, what’s wrong with this toilet, is the drain clogged?"

Xu Shu suddenly heard the sound of running water from both sides and jumped up in fright, moving to a spot untainted by the water.

Fortunately, upon inspecting it later, it was not a clogged drain, so there wasn’t any feces or other filthy things washed out.

The bathroom was still inundated, with the air filled with a faint scent of gardenias.

"Sniff sniff~"

It seemed she really did follow him... I knew she was a bit twisted, hmph, got you now...

Xu Shu felt pleased with himself, thinking he caught another small fault of hers.

This scent, he had not known what it was initially, but after several encounters and a little probing at the edge of the Wasteland, he became clear that it belonged to Gu Pan.

This woman was mysterious; even though initially her excretions were odorous, gradually they had taken on this faint gardenia scent.

This was odd; Xu Shu once thought that this was how all female Transcendents were (as male ones presumably have no smell, like himself), but later, through his bride Xie Xiaochan, he found this not to be the case.

Her urine did not smell like this.

"It seems each female Transcendent has her own distinct scent, Gu Pan’s is gardenia." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Xu Shu nodded, feeling he’d uncovered a blind spot.

Then he noticed that the wooden partition in front of him was covered with large characters written in chalk.

"Flee! Run for your life!" "Leave this place!" "It’s getting dark; it’ll be too late!" "Don’t go out after dark!"

The words were neat and everywhere, as if afraid they would be overlooked.

At first glance, it was quite frightening.

Xu Shu frowned.

He remembered clearly, these words weren’t there when he came in.

Therefore, they must have appeared afterward.

Were they meant to warn him?

Where had Gu Pan gone? She left behind the scent, but she wasn’t here; could these words be hers?

Was she captured? By the looks of the handwriting, she seemed composed when leaving, not like someone captured, probably ran off on her own.

So...

Xu Shu paced back and forth across the flooded bathroom floor, glancing back at the window that had gradually become pitch-dark.

"When I entered the legend it was already the afternoon; theoretically, the second legend draw takes up to eight hours max. If there’s not enough time left, it decreases gradually, but in any case, I would return to reality by 18:00. It seems there are no evident penalties for insufficient time spent, like reduced rewards or anything..."
