Even now, Vivian was still unable to accept the fact that the mission was suddenly declared complete, and she and her other two team members were sent directly back to the Greater God Dimension.
"It's a hidden time-limited mission," Nancy said with a sullen expression, placing her greatsword on the ground, her back looking a little powerless.
"What's that?" Jonathan's expression looked equally ugly. They already learned from Vivian what happened after the four of them separated.
Since Adam was not summoned back by the Greater God Dimension, that meant he would never return.
Nancy glanced at him and explained, "The mission difficulty is higher than normal, and it's extremely hard to complete the mission directly. However, there's actually a time limit. As long as you can survive until the end of the time limit, the mission will be automatically completed."
Jonathan stared blankly for a long time before he said angrily, "The Greater God Dimension is too much! Since it's a time-limited mission, why not tell us in advance?"
"If we knew the existence of the time limit in advance, we wouldn't try our best to complete the mission." Nancy sighed. "If we were allowed to simply stall for time, I'm afraid the mission difficulty would be on a whole other level."
Jonathan opened his mouth and closed it several times, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly. "Sure enough, the Greater God Dimension really doesn't give you any chance to take advantage of loopholes."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault…" Vivian half-squatted on the ground, holding her head in her hands, and said in an extremely weak voice, "If I'd just persevered a little longer and didn't give up so quickly, Adam wouldn't have died!"
Meteorites fell from the sky—Vivian naturally also saw this scene, so she knew that the mission was completed merely a few minutes after Adam's death.
If she could've held on for a little longer, even staying behind to fight alongside Adam, the two of them would have a good chance of surviving.
Although Nancy also looked depressed, she still walked up to Vivian and patted her shoulder. "This is not your fault. Even I didn't expect this to be a time-limited mission…"
Vivian raised her head, a vacant look in her eyes, as if the conviction in her heart had collapsed once again.
The scene fell silent for a while, and Nancy didn't speak further. Adam's death had already made her haggard.
It wasn't until a long time later that Jonathan's voice slowly rang out, "If you don't want what happened today to repeat itself, then reach Tier 3 as soon as possible and enter the Greater God Plaza."
The Greater God Plaza was a place only Tier 3 reincarnators could enter. It was where all the reincarnators could exchange materials and information.
Nancy and the others were able to communicate with other reincarnators precisely because of the existence of the Greater God Plaza.
"Tier 3?" Vivian stared at Jonathan for a while, then nodded heavily.
...
In the exclusive small village provided for Nancy's team to rest, Jonathan and Nancy were talking alone after avoiding Vivian.
"We finally managed to smooth things over." Jonathan shook his head helplessly. "The people in the reincarnation department really are unreliable. They even assigned us a confrontation mission."
Nancy couldn't help curling her lips. "It's a good thing they were able to come up with the idea of a time-limited mission… But say, why did so many meteorites fall that day?"
"Some bigshot probably intervened," Jonathan answered without raising his head. "It's said that the backer behind our organization is the one who just ascended. Who knows what powers those bigshots have."
Nancy's knowledge was obviously superior to Jonathan's, and she slowly shook her head. "Ghost Sea World is a plane-type astral world. Meteorites don't even exist in that world… Someone who can do such a thing is definitely not your average Star Ruler."
Hearing this, Jonathan couldn't help feeling slightly startled, then replied, "Whatever! It'll be clear once we complete the Vivian mission and return to the organization. Speaking of which, I really envy Adam, that fellow…"
Based on the normal script, Adam had to act as Vivian's spiritual mentor, so he actually got to "get off work" early this time.
Nancy also smiled but said nothing.
The current Nancy didn't look as cold as usual. She looked just like a normal person. If Vivian saw this scene, she would probably suspect that the Nancy she knew was fake.
In fact, that was exactly right. The person she knew was a fake Nancy, and even the name Nancy was fake. Everyone she saw in the Greater God Dimension were "actors" from White Mist.
Even the journey Vivian would experience next had been planned.
Which missions she'll clear, which missions she'll fail, and which missions will have her meeting key figures…
"After this mission is over, I won't accept these kinds of missions again." Nancy said, "She's such a good girl. If one day she finds out that everyone is lying to her, then…"
"Don't get soft-hearted and tell her the truth!" Jonathan's voice suddenly became louder, with a serious look on his face. "This will only kill everyone, do you understand?"
White Mist was not a benevolent organization. Jonathan knew this very well.
"I know," Nancy nodded and said expressionlessly.
...
"My Lord." Soon after Red Tail walked out of the observation room, she saw Gu Nan.
What descended was not Gu Nan's main body, but a clone. With Gu Nan's current realm, it wasn't hard to create thousands of clones. Shadows already possessed this attribute in the first place.
"See those meteorites?" Gu Nan said with a light smile, "If you need this kind of assistance when you train blasphemers in the future, you can give me a list."
Red Tail was a little shocked and quickly nodded in agreement.
Even Nancy knew how difficult it was to create a meteorite shower in Ghost Sea World, so how could Red Tail not understand?
Not to mention, using meteorites to write out actual words. This meant Gu Nan could completely control the laws of heaven and earth according to his own wishes.
Even if the Star Ruler of that world wanted to do this kind of thing, it would still take a long time to prepare, let alone an outsider doing it.
This kind of power would definitely be a heaven-defying cheat if it was used to help a reincarnation organization. However, Red Tail didn't dare make Gu Nan work for her. She only dared to request such assistance from Gu Nan with matters involving the Blasphemer Project.
Red Tail knew very well that the Blasphemer Project would be Gu Nan's next focus, and even White Mist and the entire Divine Kingdom would do everything in their power to serve this purpose.
"Also," Gu Nan said again, "there are too few blasphemers right now. A few dozen people are not enough. With so many main planes in the World of Gods, how can there be a lack of candidates?"
Red Tail hurriedly nodded, but then responded, "The main problem is that we have to design mission plans for each blasphemer and also to free up manpower to play their teammates. It takes up too much manpower… If White Mist continues to recruit people, the organizational structure will become too bloated."
Regarding this situation, Gu Nan thought for a while and said, "List out the groups in the Greater God Dimension project and hand them over to the Cabinet. White Mist will only be responsible for finding seedlings from now on."
