'???'

Jiang Beiran was stunned by the sudden appearance of the six options. This was the first time he had seen options appear in such a strange manner.

'This is…Giving me a main mission?

"Has the system upgraded?"

Shaking his head, he ignored the weird way the options appeared. The content of the options made Jiang Beiran's scalp tingle.

After Ye Fan, this was the second time Jiang Beiran had encountered a heaven-grade choice. The difficulty was naturally high, and the way the choices increased was also a clear indication.

That was, every time he found one more of these heavenly treasures, his situation would be safer by a level.

'But you're really asking for too much…'

The True Crystal of Earth Bodhisattva, the Mahayana Secret Water, and the Sky-shocking Flame were all ranked in the top hundred on the List of Rare Items. They were a hundred times more valuable than the Bird of Paradise that Shi Fenglan had stolen from her home. After all, the List of Rare Items collected all the natural treasures of the continent. For those who could rank in the top hundred, almost every time they advanced a rank, the effect would be a qualitative change.

Jiang Beiran had never even heard of the Two Elements Secret Feather and the Sun-Chopping Liujiang. It was very likely that they were undiscovered or hidden by some large forces. The difficulty of the two was only higher than the previous three.

As for the last part about refining an Emperor Venomous Worm, Jiang Beiran was equally confused.

His King Venomous Worm was already the strongest. Even the Green Venomous Worm that he had snatched from the mysterious formation master in the miasma earlier was also at the King Venomous Worm level after careful examination. It was just that it was more powerful than the ones he had cultivated, but it was definitely not a breakthrough.

'So there's an even stronger existence above the King Gu…'

Jiang Beiran was having a rare headache when faced with such a pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could make one's scalp tingle.

This was because the choice this time was completely different from before.

In the past, as long as it was a reward for attribute points, it was really very simple. Usually, it could be settled by saying a word and doing one thing.

However, the choice this time was completely different. The sixth choice could mean that he could easily collect these heavenly resources and survive the tribulation, but it could also be understood as that as long as he could collect these heavenly resources, he could easily and safely survive the tribulation.

Therefore, the difficulty of collecting these natural treasures was unknown. It was a big question mark.

The attribute point option was no longer the absolute safe option. This was also Jiang Beiran's first experience.

'What's going to happen in three years…An alien invasion?

Jiang Beiran quickly calmed himself down after he sighed inwardly. Although these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were still very far away for him, he still had three years to prepare. With a clear goal, he was confident that he could find all these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After a long while, Yin Jianghong, Tai Yingzong, and the others flew back through the window. Their expressions were ashen.

After adjusting his emotions, Jiang Beiran asked curiously,""I wonder what the three of you have discovered?"

Yin Jianghong picked up the tea on the table and took a sip before saying,""This venerable self feels an indescribable baleful aura. Its ferocity is simply unheard of."

" Yes." Tai Yingzong nodded." I can also sense that this baleful aura is coming from a very distant place. It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if I were to be hit by this baleful aura head-on.""

After listening to the two magnates 'analysis of the baleful aura, Jiang Beiran panicked and said,""Is something big going to happen?"

"Something big is definitely going to happen, but it shouldn't affect the Sheng Country."Yin Jianghong suddenly shook her head.""No, I still have to confirm it. You guys can continue talking about the new policy."With that, he turned around and pushed the door open.

Tai Yingzong rubbed the bridge of his nose, wondering if he should tell the sect master about this matter. However, when he thought of the danger of the baleful aura just now, he decided. This was definitely not something they could interfere with.

Taking a sip of tea to calm himself down, Tai Yingzong continued to chat with Jiang Beiran about the problems they had encountered during the implementation of the new policies over the past few months. Jiang Beiran also provided answers to them one by one.

But it was obvious that both of them were a little distracted.

After a night's sleep in the Masked Moon Sect, Jiang Beiran returned to the Imperial Palace on his auspicious cloud early the next morning. The six choices made him realize that he would probably be busy for a while again. He still had to give more instructions on the matters in the Imperial Palace.

He knew that he had to be calm at times like this. He had to grasp both hands and be firm with both hands. He did not want to ruin the hard work of either side.

Jiang Beiran quickly found Muyao in the royal study.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Muyao did not seem to be acting strangely, Jiang Beiran was certain that only a high-ranked powerhouse could sense the murderous aura from yesterday.

Taking out a stack of books from his Cosmos Ring and placing them in front of Muyao, Jiang Beiran said,""If you encounter any problems during the implementation of the new policies, read more of these books. The answers are in them."

Muyao took the book and asked,""Your Majesty…Where are you going?"

What Muyao really wanted to ask was whether the emperor was really going to give up everything, but she was afraid that if she asked, she would lose the chance to be the acting emperor.

"Nowhere, just in case. After all, you've done well during this period of time, and I'm willing to leave more things to you to handle."

"But the emperor…"

"If you feel that it is too difficult, I can…"

"It's not difficult. It's not because of that." Muyao waved her hand." If there's anything I can do, I…" I... I'm quite happy too."

"That's good." Jiang Beiran nodded and smiled.""Thank you for your hard work."

'It's been hard on you…Thank you for your hard work…You've worked hard…'

The words echoed in Muyao's heart.
