Chapter 368: Mission Update! Authority of the Plague!

Second Transfer?!

As night had fallen, Chen Bai froze slightly while listening to Sarulance and the others speak.

The second profession transfer occurred when Evolvers reached level 30, triggering a task based on their first-transfer profession.

These tasks varied in difficulty and completion methods. However, the higher the completion rate, the richer the rewards—this was unquestionable.

In many cases, low-grade professions could even be upgraded upon perfect completion of the second transfer task.

For instance, during Redo’s transfer, he had successfully upgraded his A-Rank profession to an S-Rank profession after completing his second transfer!

Of course, whether Chen Bai’s profession could progress further was uncertain. After all, there was no record of any profession surpassing SSS-Rank.

Undeniably, perfectly completing the second transfer task offered immense benefits.

Unfortunately, Chen Bai hadn’t experienced such luck in his past life.

Back then, as a Demon Hunter, his second transfer task was relatively simple—enter the Abyss and hunt demons.

The final objective was to kill a Demon Lord.

It was worth noting that in the Abyss, even the weakest Demon Lords resided on the 10th Layer.

The Demon Lord of the 10th Layer had already surpassed level 30 during his second transfer.

This task was something Chen Bai ultimately couldn’t accomplish.

Unlike the Abyssal Overlord’s conquests, which involved one-on-one combat with Demon Lords, the Demon Hunter’s task required hunting. Demon Lords were often accompanied by large numbers of subordinates, making it extremely difficult to achieve the goal under such circumstances.

Unable to complete it, Chen Bai’s Demon Hunter profession did undergo the second transfer, transforming into a Demon Hunter Slayer. However, it never progressed further into an SS-Rank or higher profession.

This failure led to a later catastrophe, where he was forcibly converted by the Dark Mother Goddess into the wretched Apostle of Desire profession.

These past memories flashed through his mind.

Chen Bai also recalled the current second transfer for his new profession.

Given the situation, he realized he needed to take the second transfer of Scourge of the Living seriously.

After all, the Abyssal Overlord profession didn’t require a second transfer. As long as he continued conquering the Abyss, both power and the Authority tied to the profession would grow steadily.

However, Scourge of the Living, with its Authority tied to Plague, necessitated further refinement and focus.

If Sarulance’s words were correct, the Authority of the Plague required mastering more plague creatures to grow stronger. Chen Bai needed to prepare for this as soon as possible!

He had to ensure his Scourge of the Living profession advanced further.

Just as this thought emerged, the notification of the Cosmic Will rang in his ears!

[This phase of the Cult of the Plague Mission completed! Reward Received: Legacy of the Cult of the Plague! The mission has progressed further!]

The Cult of the Plague mission had become increasingly intriguing!

Chen Bai’s thoughts shifted, and he checked his task panel.

[Cult of the Plague (SSS-Rank Mission)]

[Mission Introduction: Your contact with the remnants of the Cult of the Plague has given the cult a chance to regain its former glory. However, the existence of the plague is not suitable for this world. Opening a realm where the plague can thrive and further mastering the power and Authority of the plague is the primary goal.]

[Mission Objective: Reach level 30 and complete the second transfer of the ‘Scourge of the Living’ profession!]

[Mission Reward: Authority of the Plague!]

It was surprising that this could turn into a mission!

This development was entirely unexpected for Chen Bai.

While the second transfer was an inevitable part of an Evolver’s journey, the mission reward—something as cryptic as the Authority of the Plague—left Chen Bai uncertain. However, it was undoubtedly good news.

Except for one thing—the level requirement!

During the past few days, Chen Bai had been far from idle.

Having his first-place ranking on the leaderboard snatched away was something Chen Bai couldn’t ignore.

Though Rika had essentially cheated by leveraging his pre-existing level in Hell to jump to the top of the God and Devil Trial Grounds leaderboard, it still weighed on Chen Bai’s mind.

With numerous experience bonuses, including the Golden Hand’s 100% experience gain buff, along with access to nearby Secret Realm Dungeons and the Demon-Sealing Pagoda of Mount Shu, Chen Bai had the perfect hunting grounds to grind experience.

In the past few days, while awaiting the arrival of members of the Cult of the Plague, his level had risen from level 22 to level 24.

While that was only two levels, achieving such progress in the God and Devil Trial Grounds in such a short time was astonishing.

At this rate, reaching level 30 didn’t seem so distant.

Especially after his battles in the Demon-Sealing Pagoda of Mount Shu, where he slaughtered numerous demonic beasts and creatures, earning him significant Contribution Tokens. With these, he could raise his standing within the Mount Shu sect.

The longer he could stay at Mount Shu, the more experience he could gain and the faster his level would rise.

However, controlling plague creatures was something Chen Bai himself couldn’t handle.

After hearing the True God’s inquiry, several Plague Bishops began showcasing their abilities:

“Great True God, the leeches I’ve cultivated alongside myself are your most humble and loyal servants!”

“Great True God, every bacterium and virus in the air belongs to the plague. Life knows no hierarchy, for all forms of life ultimately decompose into fungi!”

“Great True God, we can cultivate new plague creatures through plague propagation. However, this requires some time and a sufficiently spacious location…”

“…”

Listening to their self-praising declarations, Chen Bai rubbed his temples. It seemed he might have to rely on the plague creatures within his two plague dungeons instead.

For now, the most pressing task was clearly to find a way to carve out a space in the Abyss as a haven for these plague creatures to thrive!
