Time and space monster

Following the small cat, Jiang Han ventured deep into the mountain cave, already prepared to crush the key to the treasure vault at any moment.

Though he didn't believe Ralph would intentionally harm him, a prudent heart is indispensable.

The cave was dark, initially narrow, barely allowing passage, but after a few dozen steps...

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, it brightened.

Jiang Han quickly scanned the surroundings and saw a middle-aged woman, around thirty or forty years old, sitting cross-legged in the void. Her face was pale, devoid of color, draped in a white robe. Despite the wrinkles from the wind and frost, her features were exquisite, and her fair skin revealed she was undoubtedly a beauty in her youth.

Besides this middle-aged woman, there were also two elderly women in the cave.

[Sword God · Dongfang Wuyue] (God-level)

[Left Sword Attendant · Lin Yiran] (Immortal-level)

[Right Sword Attendant · Guo Yingqian] (Immortal-level)

...

A God-level expert along with two Immortal-level experts?

Jiang Han remained calm.

Even so, they couldn't stop me, the one possessing the Moon Shard, from leaving the Demon God's Vault!

No matter what, the advantage is mine!

"I sense her aura on you, and a hint of... the Dark Swordsman's aura." Dongfang Wuyue's eyes flickered with nostalgia, shook her head, cast away distracting thoughts, and asked, "What is your relationship with Dongfang Yixing?"

"She is my benefactor," Jiang Han truthfully confessed, "once saved me in a moment of peril."

Benefactor!

This was the only connection he could admit to Dongfang Yixing, considering that during the attack on the Romantic Zone, the Sword God intervened to save him from almost certain death at the hands of Lord Lolei.

Anyway, he definitely wouldn't say he "happened to encounter" the Sword God.

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Wuyue sighed, a bitter smile playing on her lips. "She has really suffered..."

"Senior, I came this time to request an item from you." Jiang Han clasped his hands, sincerely saying, "I hope you can fulfill my request."

"An item?" Dongfang Wuyue puzzled, "What item?"

"A scroll that allows dual professions," Jiang Han confessed straightforwardly.

Playing tricks in front of a God-level expert seemed pointless.

"Forget about it!" Dongfang Wuyue shook her head, refusing decisively. "To be honest with you, the previous Dark Swordsman also asked for it, and I didn't give it to him. Naturally, I won't give it to you either!"

The scroll that grants dual professions is her most precious possession, something she won't give to anyone other than her daughter Dongfang Yixing.

"..."

Jiang Han fell silent.

Even Lord Lolei asked for it?

"This time, I also come at the behest of Senior Ralph," Jiang Han didn't give up, taking out the mirror that Ralph gave him, explaining, "He said that if I use this mirror as an exchange, you will agree!"

"!!!!"

Seeing the exquisite round mirror emitting colorful radiance, Dongfang Wuyue's pupils contracted, extremely moved. It seemed that the appearance of the Time-Space Distortion Mirror was shocking to her. "Time... Time-Space Distortion Mirror!"

The two elderly women behind Dongfang Wuyue exchanged glances. "Ralph has really found the Time-Space Distortion Mirror!"

He found it?

Could it be that Ralph, at the request of the Sword God, sought this mirror?

Jiang Han pondered.

"If it is indeed the Time-Space Distortion Mirror, Yixing... Yixing might be saved." Dongfang Wuyue rejoiced, her pale cheeks flushed with excitement.

Jiang Han was puzzled. "Is the Sword God in danger?"

The effect of the Time-Space Distortion Mirror is to change the past, right?

The Sword God is alive and well now, so what danger could there be in the past?

"Yes."

Dongfang Wuyue nodded, took out a golden scroll from her bosom, and solemnly said, "Dual Profession Scroll, I... can give it to you!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Han was overjoyed.

Undoubtedly, as Ralph said, the appearance of this mirror changed Dongfang Wuyue's mind.

"Don't be too hasty!"

Dongfang Wuyue's expression turned serious as she added, "I need you to do a task for me. Only after completing the task will I willingly grant you the right to use the scroll."

"What task?" Jiang Han asked.

Should he be surprised?

It doesn't seem particularly surprising.

After all, it's a task with an SS-level difficulty. If it could be completed with just one trip, obtaining the Dual Profession Scroll comfortably, it would be too good to be true.

"I need you to travel back to my daughter's past and stop her from making an oath to the God of Oaths!" Dongfang Wuyue descended from the void, came in front of Jiang Han, looked at the mirror with a complex gaze, and spoke with a hint of sadness in her tone, "The task is challenging, but I beg you to try your best. Even if you can't change it, I... will accept it!"

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Do you accept Dongfang Wuyue's request? If accepted, the side quest [Visit an Old Friend] (Difficulty: SS) you have taken will transform into [Reverse the Covenant] (Difficulty: SS)!

"I will do my best, Senior!" Jiang Han agreed.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: You have acquired the hidden side quest [Reverse the Covenant] (Difficulty: SS)!

[Reverse the Covenant] (Difficulty: SS)

Synopsis: Attempt to reverse the past, as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Task requirements: Alter history, change the Sword God's past, prevent her from swearing an oath, or change the content of the oath she made.

Task reward: SSS-grade item [Apocalypse Scroll].

Additional task reward: Dongfang Wuyue's pet [Time-Space Beast].

Additional task reward: One opportunity for Lord Ralph to unconditionally do something for you.

Task penalty: None.

...

"Hiss..."

Jiang Han couldn't help but inhale sharply.

A Time-Space Beast of unknown grade is given to him?!

The rewards for this task are simply too generous. He has never done such an exaggerated task before, and it's a side quest, not even a main quest!

Does this indirectly reflect the immense difficulty of the task?

Taking out a scroll from his bag, Dongfang Wuyue handed it to Jiang Han, saying, "Please, this is a Time-Space Beast. I can't accompany you this time, and I'm afraid you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Meow!"

As if teleporting, the little cat appeared on her shoulder, sticking out its tongue and licking its front paws, looking adorable.

"I once saved the life of the Time-Space Beast, so it willingly became my pet."

Dongfang Wuyue gently touched the cat's head, her eyes filled with affection. "But my end is approaching, and it remains young even after thousands of years. If it were to leave

, it might be discovered by that person. Are you willing to be its master..."

The reason for choosing the Dark Swordsman as the master of the Time-Space Beast was her careful consideration. The birth of the Dark Swordsman marked the beginning of turbulent times in the world, representing significant connections with many events. This was why it was possible to protect the Time-Space Beast.

As for Jiang Han's character, she was unsure, but she believed in Ralph's judgment.

"Time-Space Beast, if you are willing..."

Jiang Han didn't show excessive excitement. Instead, he cautiously asked for the cat's opinion. It wasn't an ordinary pet; it possessed intelligence. Forcing it into submission would be futile. Even if he successfully tamed it as a pet, it could easily break free due to its low loyalty.

Witnessing this scene, Dongfang Wuyue was quite satisfied.

"Meow!"

After observing between Dongfang Wuyue and Jiang Han, the little cat nodded in agreement.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: [Time-Space Beast] chooses to recognize you as its master. Do you accept?

"...Yes!"

Jiang Han felt his heartbeat accelerate, and his breathing became hurried.

God knows what just happened!

He hadn't done anything yet, but he already got a pet of unknown grade!
