783: Chapter 783: The Highest Reward Task in History

783 -783: The Highest Reward Task in History

It must be said that the words spoken by Jiang Liu had a significant impact on these humans.

He could kill three powerful demons?

Could he restore the country to its former state?

“A second disciple of Tathagata Buddha?

Perhaps, he really could achieve that!?”

Jiang Liu’s words had also brightened the old man’s eyes, and thinking of Jiang Liu’s identity, his trust grew even more.

“Master, do you mean to say that you can eliminate those three demons?” the old man asked, his eyes shining as he stared intently at Jiang Liu.

“Indeed!” Jiang Liu nodded, looking full of confidence.

Indeed, Jiang Liu was confident.

With the current strength of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, as long as they didn’t encounter opponents at the Quasi-Saint Level, they had the power to fight and even resolve the situation.

The three demons of Lion Camel Kingdom were formidable, but Jiang Liu was still confident.

Seeing Jiang Liu so confident, the old man was naturally overjoyed and excitedly asked, “Master, the demon just killed me, was it you who resurrected me?”

Upon saying this, without waiting for Jiang Liu’s response, the old man continued, “Master, you just mentioned that you could restore our country to its former state?

Does that mean you could resurrect all the people killed by the demons, including my little grandson?”

“Well, this…”

Hearing the old man’s words, Jiang Liu’s face hesitated, unable to speak.

The entire country had countless citizens eaten by demons, meaning their physical bodies were gone, and by now, some early ones might have already reincarnated.

To bring those killed back to life?

Even a Saint might not be able to do that, right?

To achieve such a thing myself?

Naturally, it’s impossible.

“Old man, it seems you might have misunderstood something…”

Under the expectant gaze of the old man, Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying, “What I meant by returning this country to its former state, is that after eliminating those demon creatures, the Human Clan can continue to multiply here.

One day, it might become as bustling as before.

I did not mean that those who were killed could all be resurrected!”

Jiang Liu’s words extinguished the light in the old man’s eyes, and his expression grew dim.

“So, Master, you mean my little grandson cannot be resurrected?”

Seeing the old man’s demeanor, which seemed likely to reduce the probability of triggering a passive quest, Jiang Liu quickly started to persuade, “Old man, you should not limit your vision to just your grandson, but should focus on…”

“No!”

However, before Jiang Liu could finish, the old man firmly shook his head and said, “Master, don’t talk to me about grand principles or the greater good.

I’m just an ordinary person.

I don’t care about the big picture, nor do I want to understand such grand principles.

I just want my little grandson to come back to life.

What do the others have to do with me?”

“Uh…” Seeing the old man’s demeanor, words faltered on Jiang Liu’s lips.

It must be said that although the old man’s words were somewhat unpleasant, they seemed very fitting for the old man himself.

And moreover, I couldn’t say he was wrong.

The rise and fall of the entire country?

What does that have to do with me?

I only care if my loved ones can be resurrected!

Was the old man’s mindset wrong?

“Alas…”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu let out a long sigh and said, “In that case, I’m powerless to help!”

“In any case, I still have to thank you, Master!” Jiang Liu could not resurrect the man’s eaten grandson or any other dead humans, which immensely disappointed the old man, but he was not angry.

Instead, he thanked Jiang Liu.

Maybe he was thanking him for just having eliminated the demon, or perhaps for his initial intention to destroy the three demons of Lion Camel Kingdom.

Of course, perhaps for both reasons.

Notification: Triggered quest “Justice”.

Quest requirements: successfully annihilate the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge and secure justice for the entire nation’s people.

Successful completion rewards 30 billion Experience Points, 1 Divine Level Treasure Chest, and 2 Epic Level Treasure Chests.

Just then, the system’s notification sound suddenly rang in Jiang Liu’s mind.

This sound left Jiang Liu stunned, disbelieving!

Since the old man had not begged him explicitly, this quest was not a passive quest, but an active one.

Yet, the Experience Points reward for this active quest was an astonishing 30 billion!?

This was the highest reward he had seen since his Journey to the West commenced.

Moreover, aside from the reward of 1 Divine Level Treasure Chest, there were also 2 Epic Level Treasure Chests!?

Usually, quest rewards included only one chest, such as an Epic Level Treasure Chest indicating the quest was of epic level, with a Legendary Level Treasure Chest signifying the quest was of legendary level.

But today, this quest featured rewards involving three chests!?

Abundant!

The abundant rewards of this quest made Jiang Liu feel extremely tempted!

However, on his journey to the West, he had triggered countless quests, and Jiang Liu knew quite well about quests — the more generous the reward, the greater the difficulty, right!?

“So, you’re saying that this quest might be the most difficult one I’ve encountered since my journey to the West began?”

“Even harder than that time when I had to turn Zhu Bajie into a Casanova?”

Looking at the rewards for this quest, Jiang Liu murmured to himself, moved by the generous rewards yet weighed down by the difficulty.

However, passive quests could be accepted or rejected, but this active quest was born from Jiang Liu’s own heart’s desire and was automatically triggered without any penalty for failure.

So, there wasn’t too much to worry about.

After reviewing the divine-level difficulty task, Jiang Liu’s gaze immediately fell on the old man and he said, “Old man, rest assured, although I cannot resurrect the dead, I will certainly see justice done for you all!”

“In any case, thank you greatly for your kindness!” The elder nodded, trembling as he gave a deep bow and expressed his thanks to Jiang Liu.

“Sigh…

” Seeing the elder’s demeanor, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but silently sigh.

On the surface, the elder seemed very grateful, but Jiang Liu could tell that he did not have much trust in his words.

Even the humans nearby looked numb.

Perhaps the power of the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge had already dashed their hopes.

Nevertheless, what he needed to do had always been shown through actions, not just talk.

Whether they believed him or not, once he actually accomplished the deed, they would naturally believe.

After briefly chatting with the old man, Jiang Liu felt no inclination to say more; he let them leave and continued on his way to the Lion Camel Kingdom.

However, when Jiang Liu looked back, he found that these people were still gathered together, showing no intention of leaving.

A sudden realization struck Jiang Liu, and he smacked his forehead, feeling like his intelligence had dropped too much recently.

The entire area of a hundred miles around Lion Camel Kingdom was ruled by demon creatures.

Although he had killed a Horse Demon and released these humans,

where could they possibly go with their own abilities?

They wouldn’t get far before being captured and eaten by a demon, right?

“Wukong, let’s secure them for now!” Understanding the humans’ predicament, Jiang Liu said to Sun Wukong.

“Alright, Master!” Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s command, Sun Wukong also understood Jiang Liu’s intentions, replied affirmatively, and promptly took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

With a flick of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, it transformed into a scene of verdant mountains and clear waters.

Then, Sun Wukong gathered all the people into the world within the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

“Master, are we going to make a big move here?” After sheltering the humans, Sun Wukong rolled up the Map of Mountains and Rivers, stored it, and then sprang in front of Jiang Liu, filled with anticipation, and asked.

Throughout their journey, they had encountered numerous demon creatures, and based on the conversation, Sun Wukong understood that there were three immensely formidable demons in Lion Camel Kingdom.

But this was not the main point.

For Sun Wukong, the main thing was having a fight.

Moreover, it seemed that the opponents might be quite formidable?

“Yes, a big one!” Jiang Liu nodded affirmatively, without denial.

“Master, do you know about the three demons of Lion Camel Kingdom?

Are they very powerful?” Seeing Jiang Liu’s response, Sun Wukong curiously asked.

“I know a bit, their strength is quite formidable, especially that Roc Bird!” Jiang Liu affirmed.

According to the original Journey to the West, the Roc Bird was indeed extremely powerful and was not intimidated even by the forces of Spirit Mountain in Western Heaven.

Such formidable prowess, if it could be incorporated into the Ming Sect, would surely become a fierce warrior in the future.

However, in the original story, the Roc Bird was easily persuaded by Tathagata to return.

Such a person was too unstable to keep around, so it was better to kill him!

Moreover, with such a ruthless nature that could consume an entire nation of people,

such an exceptional demon creature must not be spared.

“So if they are that powerful, we need to be very cautious!” Sun Wukong’s expression turned much more serious.

Despite the high difficulty of the fight bringing him great joy, having seen many powerful adversaries during his journey to the West, Sun Wukong also knew there were always greater powers, and he didn’t have the blind confidence he once did in the original story.

In the meantime, Sun Wukong planted his Golden Hoop on the ground and shouted, “Local Deity, where are you!?”

The Soul-Subduing Art’s divine skill allowed Sun Wukong to easily summon local deities, mountain gods, and city gods to his presence.

He had used it many times during their journey to the West.

However, this time, as Sun Wukong called out, there was absolutely no response from the ground…
