"Great Fuli Soil, I am White Impermanence, and he is Black Impermanence."

Xuanqing introduced himself to Ruoxi, then smiled and asked, "Are you sure you want to join us?"

"We are newcomers."

"I am also a newcomer; newcomers help newcomers." Ruoxi mustered her courage to speak.

At this moment, Li Ming suddenly interjected, "That may not necessarily be the case."

"If the task is special, disagreements may arise among newcomers, leading them to draw swords against each other."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Ruoxi's face instantly showed a trace of nervousness, and her eyes conveyed unease.

"You are..."

"Dawn Squad, Captain Li Ming." Li Ming expressed succinctly.

The three beings from Jiuge also turned their gaze over.

Red Cloud looked next to Li Ming; there was nobody.

"Daoist, your teammates...?"

Li Ming pondered for a moment then shook his head, "Individual disaster task, they didn't make it through."

"...Condolences." Red Cloud spoke but then stopped.

Their Jiuge Squad ranked sixth in the Void Fantasy Realm, while the Dawn Squad consistently ranked in the top three.

This was because the captain of Dawn Squad—Li Ming was a ruthless person.

Others were either coerced or half-threatened and half-tempted to join the Main Temple and thus took on the tasks assigned by the Main God.

Li Ming was different; he actively and willingly accepted every task from the Main Temple.

He even frequently took on commission tasks published by other squads.

Whether it was a disaster task or a death task, he rejected none.

It was as if he had no ties to the world, rushing towards death.

But the strange thing was, no matter what Li Ming did, he never died.

Not even once.

On the contrary, other members of Dawn Squad would meet their demise due to various reasons.

This time the team member was lost to a disaster task;

The last time, a team member was lost to a death task;

The time before last, the team member was a newcomer with low cultivation and bad luck, who failed right at the start...

Red Cloud had seen him change teammates seven times since knowing Li Ming.

Watching the trio from Jiuge World go to submit their task.

Xuanqing approached Dawn and bowed his hands, "Daoist Li Ming, with your extensive experience, I wonder if we could join your Dawn Squad."

The ranking in the Void Fantasy Realm was visible to him.

Li Ming's Dawn Squad ranked second.

Based on this squad's contributions, the comprehensive rating given by the Main Temple was: "Leap Dragon in the Abyss."

That looked quite reliable.

Ming River followed behind Xuanqing, staying silent on the side.

After all, Xuanqing never aimlessly shot his arrows; this Li Ming must have something special about him.

Ruoxi seemed hesitative; she just saw Red Cloud, and being Li Ming's teammate seemed not to be a good thing.

However, her hesitation quickly turned into decisiveness.

She followed behind Xuanqing, softly saying, "Don't leave me behind; although my cultivation is low, I specialize in saving the dying and helping the injured—I can be of help to everyone."

Red Cloud, who was exchanging rewards, suddenly turned his head.

"That, White Impermanence Daoist..."

He was about to give a well-intentioned reminder.

Great Fate Master immediately pulled him aside, "Respect others' fate."

Zhen Yuanzi directly covered Red Cloud's mouth and made an apologetic expression towards Li Ming.

"You guys talk."

Li Ming was unfazed.

He looked at the three persons from Xuanqing, then gently shook his head, "No, I'm not considering recruiting team members for now."

Just as Xuanqing's face showed a look of disappointment, Li Ming added, "However..."

"However what?" Xuanqing asked.

"According to the rules of the Main Temple, newcomers forming teams for the first time can choose a squad or members rated above [Seeing Dragon] to guide them."

"What's the cost?" Ming River asked.

Li Ming replied, "Depending on the task difficulty, the Main God will pay an additional reward."

"Sounds quite good."

Xuanqing found this quite reasonable.

He thus decisively submitted an application to the Main God, requesting Li Ming's assistance.

Li Ming reminded, "You still need to name your team."

Xuanqing first looked towards Ruoxi.

"Let's follow the captain's decision!" Ruoxi quickly assumed the role of a team member.

"Then let's call it Impermanence Team!"

Xuanqing registered his team.

Soon, they saw their team's ranking and rating in the Void Illusory Realm.

The ranking column was empty.

The rating read: Beginning of Heaven and Earth.

"This Main God has a sense of humor," Xuanqing laughed, realizing that the stuff from Taiwei Constellation had been fully comprehended by the Ancestor Dragon.

Nameless, Beginning of Heaven and Earth.

Starting teams were insignificant, with ratings always these four words.

Only by accumulating experience and contributions would the rating gradually improve.

The subsequent levels are Hidden Dragon Not to Use, Dragon Spotted in the Field, Alert Dragon Qianqian, Leaping Dragon in the Abyss, Flying Dragon in the Sky.

Hmm, this was written by Fu Xi.

On the other side.

Seeing that Xuanqing and others chose Li Ming, Red Cloud internally mourned for them.

[Hopefully, you can survive the first mission.]

But soon, Red Cloud didn't have time to mourn for others.

The Main God issued a mission.

"1. Main mission: Chaos in Yin and Yang."

"2. Mission background: At a time when the Yin Yang Universe is undergoing a celestial calamity, in Cycle Heaven the constellations are misaligned, the sun and moon are obscured; throughout the Universe, the four seasons are disordered, Yin and Yang are imbalanced;

disasters frequently occur in All Heavens World, wars are continuous... All these are because there are dark forces causing trouble behind the scenes."

"3. Mission content: Slay the hidden culprit, quell the cosmic disturbances."

"4. Mission reward: Unknown."

"5. Mission penalty: None."

"Ah? It's a high-difficulty mission!"

The Jiuge trio was somewhat excited, based on past experience, the higher the difficulty, the better the rewards!

The mission for Xuanqing and others also arrived.

Their mission was the same as that of the Jiuge Team.

As a temporary member of the Impermanence Team, Li Ming naturally could see this mission.

However, upon seeing this task, his brows furrowed.

[There has never been a case where a rookie team took on a high-difficulty mission.]

[Could it be, my negative influence on others has already become this severe?]

His Great Dao is unique and tends to bring misfortune to those around him.

The closer people are to him, the greater the harm.

Li Ming suspected that he influenced Xuanqing and others.

Thinking of those lost teammates, Li Ming's expression became even more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Xuanqing asked.

Li Ming didn't hesitate this time, explaining the situation to Xuanqing.

After listening, Xuanqing instinctively glanced at Ming River beside him.

[I think it's not necessarily his fault.]

[It could also be a combined effect.]

Ming River looked at Li Ming with intense interest.

"Be extra careful this time!"

Li Ming's expression was serious and grave.

"At critical moments, don't stay too close to me."

"Definitely!"

Xuanqing and Ming River didn't mind.

But Ruoxi...

"Don't worry, I am good at healing and rescuing, really powerful."

The girl patted her chest, quietly cheering up everyone, and it seemed like she was comforting herself:

"In the Bright Brilliant World, everyone says my skills are the most powerful, I will definitely be able to help everyone."

"Then we'll look forward to your performance then!"

Xuanqing gave her an affirming glance.

Ming River showed a friendly expression.

"Let's set off!"

Li Ming felt heavy inside.
