Chapter 166: Chapter 166: The Highest Level Emergency Task!
“`
If we choose to intervene, it would inevitably lead to a military conflict with the Desert Tower Civilization, possibly even triggering a full-scale war between the two civilizations.
However, war is a decision that must be made with caution when it comes to civilizations.
Especially under the backdrop of the Civilization Trial.
At present, Human Civilization has not completely escaped the crisis brought by the Trial.
Although the Undead are broadly suppressed, they continue to emerge incessantly, threatening the safety of human life from time to time, and the Eternal Night Ice River has not truly commenced, with the current cold waves and blizzards yet to reach their extremes.
The entire civilization’s focus must be on the construction of the Underground City.
The Sky Spirit Civilization is likewise restraining military forces. Right now, there are nearly three hundred million Undead fleeing in all directions. Although the Sky Spirit People’s forces are the mainstay, humans still need to dispatch a large number of powerful individuals to reinforce their ranks.
Having reached the Second Stage, at least half of the Chosen Ones, after their job change, are currently situated within the Sky Spirit Civilization.
However, from another perspective, intervening could also present the opportunity to gain a substantial amount of benefits.
Not to mention, Planet No.4 has now suffered severe damage, and the Undead must have spawned in significant numbers—these are points. Moreover, in such circumstances, the entire civilization may likely be unable to survive the Trial, and Humans arriving as Saviors could have the chance to gather a group of Chosen Ones and high-quality immigrants—these are also benefits.
The Desert Tower Civilization plays the villain, while Humans play the hero. This mode of warfare, in dealings with several other civilizations, could be advantageous as well.

Shen Hao looked at his interface for the cheat device.
In a few more hours, the new cheat device loading time would unlock!
Shen Hao had already made a decision about this cheat device.
“Have the members of the council first gather intelligence and discuss, while sending several Chosen Ones to travel at high speed to Planet No.4 aboard a spaceship. Find a way to get in and ascertain the situation there… let Feng Ping join them.”
“Yes,” Dong Gong replied.
Shen Hao, the President, usually didn’t manage affairs much, but once he issued an order, the Chosen One Association’s operational speed was astonishing.
At this moment, four Chosen Ones were quickly selected to carry out this extraterrestrial mission.
Among them was one Chosen One who was quite special, the very one appointed by Shen Hao.
His name was Feng Ping. He was only twenty-three years old this year, a top-world eSports player, and earned the status of Chosen One for it.
But before that, he wasn’t even aware that he had reached such a level in eSports.
After all, he had decent academic grades, and he wasn’t completely immersed in gaming; he just knew he had a high level of game skill.
And after the Blood Demon Trial descended, this ability became somewhat insignificant; during the Blood Demon war, he even actively enlisted in the military.
However, just as a new recruit who had just arrived at the battlefield, the war had already ended.
Just when Feng Ping thought his path forward was to stay in some city and become a patroller in the Crisis Management Department, the slot of Chosen One unexpectedly fell upon him.
That’s right, both he and his teammates were stunned.
By this time, people who had reached the pinnacle in various important fields had all been gathered, and even if they continued their usual work, they were still closely monitored.
Feng Ping was like a fish that slipped through the net.
And that’s not even the most fantastic part. When drawing his Talent, Feng Ping directly drew a Purple Epic Talent!
Yes, Purple Epic Level!
This was a one-in-ten-thousand chance, and in all of Human Civilization up to now, there have only been three!
After that, Feng Ping received intense training from the Chosen One Association.
In the second Trial, he was also sent to various locations to join the battles against the Trial.
At this moment, Feng Ping was just emerging from an Underground City Construction zone. As soon as he burrowed out, the personal terminal he wore began to vibrate incessantly, while at the same time, his contact lenses projected an emergency mission from the Chosen One Association.
[Chosen One Feng Ping, an emergency mission is now issued, ordering you to drop all matters and proceed swiftly to the Chosen One Association headquarters. The necessary transportation has been prepared, and you need to arrive at the designated location to wait within ten minutes of receiving this mission.]
[Mission level: Top priority!]
[Mission issued by: President]
A top-priority emergency mission from the President?
Feng Ping took a deep breath, leaped up, and started sprinting towards the designated spot before he could even process the information.
Then, his emotions began to tremble with excitement.
To be honest, when he discovered he had a Purple Epic Talent, Feng Ping was exhilarated for a long time.
On one hand, this meant he had surpassed the vast majority of Chosen Ones right from the start, and on the other, after experiencing the Blood Demon war, no one was without the desire for power—not only to ensure their own safety but also to protect even more people.
Personal ambitions and a grand mission, all converged on the identity of the Chosen One.
However, in the few months after joining the Chosen One Association and receiving elite training, Feng Ping felt somewhat stifled.
The reason lay with his Talent.
[Illusion Body]
That’s right, his body could turn into an illusion, avoiding attacks, becoming invisible, even causing others to overlook him.
Was this ability powerful?
“`
Of course it’s powerful!
If it were during the Blood Demon war, he could have infiltrated the Blood Demon camp all by himself, assassinated the Matrix, or eavesdropped on military plans face to face.
But, facing the Second Civilization Trial, the only use of his ability was to delve deep underground to take samples and investigate soil and rock formations.
It was highly useful at first, but as the equipment sent from various places became more and more advanced, even this exploration didn’t require him anymore.
This made Feng Ping feel somewhat useless.
Especially since he had received three Golden Legendary abilities from the President, yet he still hadn’t obtained a Golden Legendary profession.
He had only completed a transformation into the Purple Epic class.
Feng Ping was also just a twenty-three-year-old young man. After gaining the Talent and power that others did not have, he naturally also yearned to make a name for himself!
And now, was the opportunity finally coming?
Feng Ping’s excitement was such that his face even became slightly flushed, as if there was a breath in his heart that he needed to forcefully exhale.
He checked his personal communicator for a message from the highest official in charge of the construction site.
“We have received instructions from superiors; your job will be taken over by large-scale detection equipment. The other workers will only know that you have been transferred to another Underground City construction site. Wishing you a safe and meritorious return!”
“Thank you for your leadership!” Feng Ping typed a few words, then closed his personal terminal.
At this moment, outside the Underground City, the temperature had already dropped to minus one hundred degrees, and even though it was afternoon, broad daylight, under the cover of the blizzard, all one could see was pitch darkness.
Only by lifting one’s head was it possible to see a resting gleam in the sky.
Ever since the start of the Second Phase ranking calculation, the sunlight seemed to be rapidly diminishing. Feng Ping had visited over a dozen sites for work, and had never seen daylight, let alone sunlight.
Although his Illusion Body state meant he would not feel the cold, the darkness and the howling blizzard could still make him feel a sort of chill.
But in the midst of the darkness, a scorching light suddenly shone directly on his location.
Feng Ping lifted his head and saw a spaceship that stood unmoving even in the midst of the blizzard.
“The transport has arrived, please board the spaceship,” a message popped up on the communicator.
Feng Ping took a slow deep breath, looked at the spaceship that had already landed, slowly walked into the opened hatchway, and simultaneously canceled his Illusion Body.
A sense of warmth instantly swept over his entire body.
“Is this your ability?” a voice suddenly appeared, startling Feng Ping.
He looked around, but saw no one.
Until, a person’s figure as well emerged from the void.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a simple smile.
“Yes,” Feng Ping said, somewhat surprised as he looked at him.
This man’s ability seemed a bit like his own.
“Zou Shulong,” the middle-aged man extended his hand, smiling, “I’m a cook, used to work in the army’s cooking squad.”
“Hello, hello,” Feng Ping shook hands with both of his.
“Don’t be so polite, I know you, Feng Ping, with a Purple Epic Ability!” Zou Shulong said smilingly, “I’m also the captain of this mission, though I just have a Blue Elite Ability.”
“Captain?” Feng Ping was immediately shocked.
“Perhaps because I have a few more years of experience and I’m an old soldier, your Potential is far stronger than mine,” Zou Shulong said cheerfully, looking indeed very amiable.
“Not at all, I know my own weight,” Feng Ping waved his hands repeatedly, “It’s just good luck.”
Zou Shulong nodded slightly in his mind.
His mission included detailed profiles of personnel.
The description of Feng Ping’s character was very clear in the mission dossier.
“Sincere, modest, passionate (to be emphasized and nurtured during the mission).”
So Zou Shulong was right; Feng Ping indeed had great Potential.
“Captain, is it just the two of us on this mission?” Feng Ping was obviously still excited, looking around as if he was trying to see if there was anyone else hidden on the spaceship.
“There are two others, but they came on different spaceships,” Zou Shulong said with a smile, “One is from Japan, a girl who’s two years younger than you, and the other one is from the Northern Alliance. Except for you, all three of us have Blue Talent, and we’re all Second Stage Chosen Ones.”
This basic information about his teammates would have to be shared sooner or later.
No harm in saying it now.
Feng Ping took a deep breath, “Four Second Stage Chosen Ones, all with Blue Talent or higher, this is a big mission indeed!”
“That’s right.” Zou Shulong’s expression grew more serious, “We’re going to meet the President.”
“Hiss—!” Feng Ping truly widened his eyes in astonishment this time.
Meeting the President!
