409: Predict and control the generation of system tasks

Chapter 408: Predicting and Controlling the Generation of System Tasks

Spatial magic is little-known knowledge anywhere in the world, and long-distance teleportation arrays are even more absolutely high-end technology.

It is completely unseen in the barren and backward Northern region, and even in the relatively prosperous and advanced Central Region, it can only be seen between a few large cities.

Furthermore, the teleportation arrays on the Demon Spirit Continent are basically within a million kilometers; this is the absolute limit for high-level advanced teleportation arrays.

Yet the divine array Dick built could directly teleport from the Eternal Frost Forest to the Toya Imperial Capital, spanning over ten million li. This is simply unbelievable!

But in fact, if his divine power was strong enough and his divinity high enough, Dick could even spend more time building a super divine array spanning over a hundred million li.

Directly teleporting from the Eternal Frost Forest to the Suweier Empire in the Central Continent!

It's just a pity Orivia was too timid and refused to hand over her divinity for Dick to manipulate, otherwise, it might really have been successful.

As a deity whose faith covers a region, Orivia could accomplish many things, as long as she was willing to cooperate like Trundle.

Dick had also tried to trick her, but when it came to her bottom line, Orivia absolutely refused.

After all, handing over one's divinity is no different from placing the power over life and death into someone else's hands.

Dick knew so much strange and bizarre knowledge and was completely fearless, daring to even scheme against deities. Orivia certainly didn't dare let such a person arbitrarily manipulate her divinity.

Only Trundle, this crazy deity, would trust Dick so much and do whatever he was told...

"Dick, I'm a bit prone to motion sickness from teleportation arrays. Will the teleportation take long later? Do I need to take anti-motion sickness medicine in advance?"

Victoria looked left and right, restless. When she traveled the continent with Emperor Kaiye in her youth, she had experienced teleportation arrays a few times and was terribly nauseous then...

Hearing this, Dick smiled without speaking. A white light flashed, and the surrounding vast snowy landscape gradually blurred, turning into a magnificent palace after a few seconds.

"Alright, we've arrived at the Toya Royal Palace."

Victoria widened her eyes, looking around in disbelief, muttering, "W-We're already here?!"

There was no turbulence, no sound, not even the slightest spatial fluctuation!

Compared to the teleportation arrays Victoria had experienced before, the divine teleportation array Dick built was simply heaven and earth apart.

As for everyone else who had never experienced a teleportation array, their expressions were calm; after all, most people were already used to the miracles Dick created.

Creak—

It wasn't until she stepped onto the snow-covered stone path in the Royal Palace that Victoria snapped back to reality, realizing she had truly crossed ten million li in just a few seconds!

In an instant, Victoria thought of the many uses for the divine teleportation array. If applied to the battlefield, its strategic significance would undoubtedly be immense!

"Dick, could you help the Toya Empire build a few divine teleportation arrays as well..."

As she spoke, Victoria suddenly frowned. She noticed that the Toya national flags that usually flew everywhere in the Royal Palace had all been replaced by black flags.

Only when a direct Royal Family member of considerably high status passed away would this scene appear!

Soon, Victoria thought of something. She stumbled as she walked towards the depths of the Royal Palace, taking two steps at once, then changing from a jog to a sprint.

The cold wind blew, tears streamed down her temples, scattering in the air.

Did he finally die, Emperor Kaiye?

Dick glanced at Victoria's retreating figure, deep in thought.

Coming to the Toya Empire, besides escorting Victoria, there was an even more important matter: dealing with the true culprit who caused Emperor Kaiye's premature aging—a high-level female Demon!

Killing Emperor Kaiye, Dick couldn't be bothered.

But if she dared harm Victoria, that would be disrupting the mission plan for "Rise of the Empire", and Dick would have to intervene.

If nothing unexpected happened, Victoria should have already ascended the throne. As the Empress of a nation, she carried vast national fortune, and her soul was extremely valuable!

Undoubtedly, Victoria was the Demon's favorite potential trading partner.

Dick even suspected that Victoria had been targeted long ago, and the reason that female Demon had been staying in the Toya Empire was likely because she was eyeing the next Empress!

Influenced by Emperor Kaiye, Victoria also had the ambition to unify the Northern region, and she wasn't lacking in courage; she might very well accept the Demon's gambling invitation.

Dick didn't plan to waste his breath educating Victoria; that was too troublesome. Directly dealing with that female Demon was more convenient.

Unlike his first time coming to the Toya Imperial Capital, Dick wasn't afraid of trouble at all now.

Trundle brought a group of Magic Apes to travel and was following right beside him. After upgrading to a God of Faith, he could now leave the Eternal Frost Forest at will.

Not only that, but Orivia could also protect Dick; the entire Northern region was her territory, and she could descend with divine power anytime, anywhere.

While high-level Demons were indeed powerful, in front of two Gods of Faith, they were just small fry, nothing to fear!

Dick was very clear about his own advantages and was better at utilizing them. He would fight an overwhelming battle, never aiming for a balanced one.

...

As night fell, Dick and his group were settled in a luxurious sleeping chamber in the Royal Palace. Since Victoria left during the day, there had been no news of her.

As for the high-level female Demon hidden in the Royal Capital, Dick wasn't in a hurry to find her; he was waiting for something else.

At every stage, the System would issue a [Timed Task]. Although the timing of its appearance was not fixed, it would always appear.

The main task and Side Tasks for the current stage were already completed. This Timed Task... it should be appearing soon, right!

Regarding the System, Dick could now predict it. He could wait at the task location in advance before the task even appeared.

This Timed Task that hadn't appeared yet was very likely about dealing with the female Demon in the Toya Imperial Capital. Dick had a very strong premonition!

In a sense, Dick was even controlling the generation of System tasks. By simply utilizing the System's characteristic of being 'beneficial to oneself', achieving this wasn't actually difficult.

"Master, that female Demon... is approaching the Royal Palace!"

Hearing this, Dick nodded slightly, glanced at Kun, who was trembling beside him, and casually said, "Stand up straight, be alert, don't lose face."

"Y-Yes, Master..."

Kun gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his natural fear, choosing to trust Dick as he had before.

A few minutes later, a pink character box appeared in the center of Dick's vision. It was the Timed Task he had expected.
