Chapter 121: S-Class Evaluation, Rich Rewards
Qin MuYe brought Tian Qi and seventy spirits to the entrance of Hell. This place used to be a church, but it has now turned into a large number of chaotic crimson crystal pillars.
This is due to the accumulation of a large amount of crimson elements and their decay and assimilation process, causing them to rise and crowd together.
Crimson magic power surged from his fingertips, dispersing the crimson elements within these crystal pillars, making them scatter like melting ice columns, clearing a path of red gemstones for Qin MuYe and his companions to enter Hell.
As the Crimson Ancestor with expert-level understanding and mastery of crimson elements, controlling these elements was as simple as an instinct for Qin MuYe.
Following the red gemstone path into Hell, what met the eye was a large number of crimson crystal statues. These were the demonic legion of this Hell, though their strength was somewhat lacking, currently around the 3rd rank, with fluctuations between ordinary and elite 3rd rank.
A 3rd rank champion was probably out of the question, let alone a hero.
If there were any, they wouldn't be in such a state, and it might even be possible to kill the Lord of Hell and take over the position.
According to the reports from the Gospel spirits who had scattered to scout, this Hell was actually not very large, even smaller than Ackerman Town.
How did such a vast demonic legion survive?
They were usually on standby, and the demons spawned more demons, which was how they managed.
Generally, unless summoned like the pumpkin-headed demons or if the entrance to Hell was unsealed, they were mostly forced into a state of dormancy by the Book of Death.
Of course, if there were intruders, such as accidental intruders or the fallen, these demons would be forced to activate and pursue them.
And given the conditions in Hell, there probably wasn't even food, let alone anything else.
"Master, we found the Book of Death. It's in a pyramid-like temple not far from here," a Gospel spirit reported.
"Lead the way," Qin MuYe said decisively.
He found it a bit strange. According to the normal situation, his main quest should have been completed by now, but there was still no indication of a return.
It was impossible for any to escape, as the area within a hundred miles around Ackerman Town had become a crimson crystal field, and anything beyond that was no longer part of Ackerman Town.
So, he suspected that the Book of Death might not be dead yet. After all, it was the Lord of Hell and must have some hidden tricks up its sleeve.
They soon arrived at the pyramid temple.
This temple was not the Egyptian-style with a pointed top but rather a Mayan pyramid type.
At the top, one could see a book enshrined in the center of the temple, now covered by crimson crystals.
The entire temple was quite luxurious, with carvings and inlays related to blood sacrifices.
"The origin of this Hell is truly intriguing," Qin MuYe thought, examining the murals. This building was definitely man-made, and more importantly, it was once a place of human sacrifice.
This made things very interesting. A Hell that humans could not penetrate contained a temple that looked like it was built by ancient people, and the object of worship had become the Lord of Hell.
There must be some ancient secret hidden here.
After reviewing the murals in the temple, Qin MuYe lost interest. They depicted a sacrificial ritual using human sacrifices, but there was no mention of any benefits gained from the sacrifices, as if it were just a form of appeasement.
He slowly walked to the center of the temple. Through the crimson crystals, he could see the lifelike human face on the cover of the Book of Death.
"Sure enough, it's not dead. This thing has a strong vitality and seems to be preparing to break free."
Qin MuYe could clearly sense its movements by locking down the crimson elements within the Book of Death's crystal.
As the Crimson Ancestor, he naturally could sense the crimson elements.
"You two, come over and help me block it. I think this thing might try to get me," Qin MuYe called over two Gospel spirits to act as meat shields and alerted Tian Qi to be on guard. If the book dared to make a move, it would get a taste of what tentacle play was like.
As the crimson crystals on the Book of Death melted away, a strong Hellish aura gradually spread out.
Qin MuYe then added a bit of crimson element to the mix. In the environment where crimson elements already dominated Hell, this Hellish aura quickly transformed into a crimson mist and was assimilated.
This put the Book of Death in a rather awkward position. Don't ask how Qin MuYe figured it out; it was evident from the human face on the cover of the Book of Death.
"Oh~ let me think, which Hell Lord has graced my little Hell? This is truly an honor," the Book of Death said after a brief moment of awkwardness, with a fawning tone.
"Standing before you is the great Crimson Ancestor, the supreme scholar who masters countless secrets, and the supreme lord who rules over all living beings."
The next moment, Tian Qi spoke up, his flattery making Qin MuYe feel embarrassed. If this got out, would people beat him up?
"Cough, low-key, low-key, don't be too showy," Qin MuYe said tactfully.
The Book of Death was dumbfounded. It thought the powerful Tian Qi was the Hell Lord, but it turned out the weakling hiding behind was the real one? This didn't seem right.
However, the Book of Death quickly recovered and said, "Great Crimson Ancestor, master of—"
"Stop blabbering, or I'll kill you," Qin MuYe said with a black line, thinking the Book of Death was treating him like a parrot.
"Three choices: first, be my book; second, I beat you up and then make you my book; third, I kill you."
Just as Qin MuYe finished speaking, Tian Qi added, "Master, this dangerous thing should be killed. After all, you need the content in the Book of Death, not a talking book."
The Book of Death looked horrified. Are you both crazy?
"Wait, I agree—"
"Alright, we'll do it your way," Qin MuYe said without waiting for the Book of Death to beg. He thought Tian Qi was right; he needed the content in the Book of Death, not a talking book.
He couldn't have this thing chatting with him, could he?
Chatting with Tian Qi would be better; two and a half out of every three sentences would be praise, making the conversation more comfortable.
With Qin MuYe's approval, Tian Qi walked over and prepared to act.
"Wait, I can make you the Hell Lord!!!"
"Beat him up," Qin MuYe said expressionlessly.
"I can let you control all the demonic legions in Hell!!!"
"Beat him to death."
"Wait, wait, I, ah~~"
Before the Book of Death could finish its third sentence, Tian Qi slapped its face with a tentacle. The entire book instantly exploded, turning into a large number of scattered pages.
There was no more movement after that.

"Sure enough, this thing wasn't dead. You were the only one left," Qin MuYe remarked.
Leaving it alive was out of the question. It looked like a book, but it was actually a living being, so it couldn't be stored in the item inventory. Only by destroying it completely would it truly be dead.
[Based on your evaluation, you can choose 9 out of the following 10 rewards]
[1. Custom Special Building Blueprint ×1]
[2. Special Resources (4 types) ×100,000 units]
[3. Custom Rare Building Blueprint ×1]
[4. Custom Rare Class Conversion Certificate ×1]
[5. Custom High-Grade Treasure ×5]

[7. Gold Coins ×10,000,000]
[8. Unit Upgrade Coupon (Champion Level) ×5]
[9. Talent Ascension Coupon ×1]
[10. Designated Reward +1]
"Ah, the rewards have improved, but the problem is that the class slot expansion coupons are gone."
In the end, after some thought, Qin MuYe decided to give up the custom rare class conversion certificate. It wasn't very useful.
As long as it was a champion-level spirit, it could become a rare class. The idea that a rare class conversion would turn it into an epic class was wishful thinking. Qin MuYe had tried it, and it still remained a rare class.
As for Qin MuYe using it himself, he would need a class slot, which was likely only produced by dungeon tickets. He could wait for the next time a class slot expansion coupon option appeared.
Moreover, with Qin MuYe's current wealth, rare classes weren't that rare to him. What mattered more was finding the right fit.
He originally planned to give up the unit upgrade coupons, as he could already mass-produce champion-level spirits, though it would take some time. However, compared to the low value of the rare class conversion certificate, he had to give that up.
