C3936 Task
0Meng Fan had been managing the Universe of Eight Kings for more than a dozen years, so everything was calm and peaceful, and everything was functioning normally. There was no problem with the equipment he provided for the Intelligent Universe, and occasionally he could even oversupply.
On this day, the assessment of Unified Pillar was transmitted to the Universe of Eight Kings.
This was a report that recognized Meng Fan's political achievements of the past decade. The report was fair and accurate, seeking truth from facts, and gave a good evaluation of Meng Fan's actions.
However, there was still a long way to go before he could become a Dao Lord.
After Meng Fan put down the assessment order, he picked up another private letter.
In the past decade or so, Meng Fan had always been tearing down Hei Yuankui's embroidered bags, and had even refined thousands of fourth grade Immortal Crystal. It could be said that the Hei Family had given him a huge help.
This was a private letter, and on the symbol, it was the Hei Family, the Four Dragons Golden Seal that Meng Fan was very familiar with.
This was the name that Meng Fan had given to this imprint. In the World of Meaning, there weren't any creatures like dragons, but there was a kind of totem that could be seen, and this totem wasn't the family property of the Hei Family, nor was it the banner of the Hei Family. It had accompanied the Hei Family for many years, and was said to be the mount of the ancestors of the ancient era, as well as one of the guardians of the Hei Family.
Meng Fan called this kind of totem as the Six Legged Dragon. There were many kinds of family seals that were common in Hei Family, and one of them was the drawing of four of these "Six Legged Dragon", entangled together in a complicated posture.
However, according to Meng Fan, the creature on the totem seemed to be a type of insect.
After he opened his personal letter, Meng Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
This wasn't a letter Hei Yuankui gave him.
At the beginning, it meant that the person who had personally written this letter was called Hei Shouyi.
Meng Fan already knew that Hei Shouyi was the leader of Hei Family.
He was also Hei Yuankui's brother.
It was said that he was one of the top experts in the World of Meaning. Experts in the same realm as Hei Shouyi could be counted on one hand.
They were also the powerhouses that stood at the peak of the known world.
After Meng Fan saw Hei Shouyi's name, he pondered for a moment. He was pondering, between Yi Housheng and Hei Yuankui, who was stronger?
But he was very clear that with his current understanding of World of Meaning, he couldn't possibly have any specific concept, so he continued to read the letter.
These words originated from the Nine Great Supreme Universe. When the World of Meaning was first established, in order to unify the characters, the earliest Dao Lords had used the language of the Nine Great Supreme Universe to select and fuse them, forming these words. On average, each of the words was written in dozens of different shapes and sizes, and most of the words were circular, with all kinds of complicated structures.
This type of writing was too complicated. Even though it was the only true writing that was publicly accepted by the World of Meaning, not many people had actually used it. Meng Fan knew it, but he had never seen it before.
After an hour, Meng Fan deciphered the text and started to read.
The contents of the letter were basically one thing.
How could an apostle become a Dao Lord?
Hei Shouyi said that Meng Fan was only one step away from becoming a Dao Lord. However, this step was a hundred times more difficult than any previous one.
This meant that he already had his own identity in the World of Meaning. Relying on this identity, even if Meng Fan did not become an undying, he could still move about within the Affiliated Universe and have a certain position. Furthermore, at special times, Meng Fan would have some authority outside of the Universe of Eight Kings.
For example, when Meng Fan traveled to a Affiliated Universe, there was a bounty convict for World of Meaning. Meng Fan might just be passing by, but when this Affiliated Universe did not have a Dao Lord, Meng Fan could immediately use the name of World of Meaning to mobilize the various powers in the universe to capture this bounty convict.
This was a great power.
Therefore, other than the World of Meaning, the status of the recorded apostle was extremely high. Many experts of the Affiliated Universe had been working hard to acquire this identity.
After becoming an apostle, Meng Fan had to do these few things before he could take a step forward and become a Dao Lord.
Make enough contribution to World of Meaning.
There was no malfeasance.
They could not violate the laws of the World of Meaning.
Just these three things.
It seemed very simple.
However, the last two of these matters were quite clear. The first was quite vague.
What was enough contribution?
The World of Meaning did not specify any rules regarding this.
In other words, the matter of contribution was basically determined by the various Dao Masters of the World of Meaning.
Before War of Immortality, it was not uncommon for a practitioner of Affiliated Universe to become a Dao Lord.
For example, there were two out of the twelve great families in World of Meaning today. Their ancestors came from Affiliated Universe, and their Luo Family was an example.
However, ever since the War of Immortality, the number of experts in the Affiliated Universe that have become Dao Lords has dwindled, to the point where there haven't been many that have appeared for many years.
But luckily, the person to determine whether Meng Fan had contributed enough wasn't just anyone else, but also the person who commanded the Unified Pillar.
Unified Pillar were basically Hei Family's territory, so as long as Hei Family was willing, Meng Fan could break the rules and become a Dao Lord at any time.
Doing so would naturally result in some criticism, and would also harm the reputation of the Hei Family. After all, although the Unified Pillar was controlled by the Hei Family, within the Unified Pillar, there were still quite a portion of other clans, or even some small clan's Dao Lords.
Hei Family was something that needed face.
To the twelve great clans, the most important thing was their face.
Anything but face.
Just like Yinn Gu's case, there was a very important reason behind all the ruckus in Yinn Family, which was face.
Hei Shouyi said it clearly in the letter.
At the same time, Hei Shouyi also told Meng Fan.
In Yi Housheng's opinion, Meng Fan must rely on his own ability to be promoted to Dao Lord step by step.
Only then would it be convincing enough and it would only be a "solid chess piece".
Therefore, Unified Pillar was going to give Meng Fan a very difficult mission.
Meng Fan must complete this task.
If he failed, it would be a dereliction of duty.
If he succeeded, it would count as him contributing enough.
But Hei Shouyi said he wasn't sure either, because missions couldn't be issued by Unified Pillar, the Unified Pillar would issue the mission itself, and he would have to verify the qualifications to be promoted to one of his own. This kind of thing, wasn't convincing, so it was very likely that this mission was given by Hundred-Person Association.
During the internal meetings of the Hundred-Person Association, they would often discuss a few things and set a goal. In order to achieve this goal, they would often create tens or hundreds of missions, and then hand them over to the eight pillars to accomplish.
If Meng Fan could complete one of them, then it would be convincing enough.
Hei Shouyi said that Hei Family would do its best to help him.
