Jason Ji had indeed handled the first step of this main quest remarkably well. However, a troubling thought crept into his mind. If Livia Dong were to learn of this development, what would her reaction be? What kind of response would she muster?
At the thought, a chill ran down his spine… Judging by her ruthless and unfeeling nature in the past, it was undeniable: her first instinct would be to kill him! Though she wouldn't do it herself, she'd find someone with a foolproof chance to eliminate him.
Considering that she now knew he had defeated Lucia Dong, who had already achieved the Constellation Realm… the person she'd send to kill him would undoubtedly be of the Legendary Realm. As he calculated his chances of surviving an encounter with a Legendary Realm fighter, Jason's expression grew somber...
A Legendary Realm expert was no mere Constellation Realm cultivator… To put it bluntly, experts in the Legendary Realm and Constellation Realm were worlds apart…
Though he possessed the Divine Forbidden Domain and Immortal Slayer Sword technique, his current Innate Realm cultivation was still two whole major realms below the Legendary Realm! His survival rate was a meager 30%... which, in Jason's view, was far too risky...
After all, he would inevitably have to confront that woman someday, so swiftly enhancing his strength became his immediate priority. Only upon reaching the Constellation Realm could he, with the activation of the Divine Forbidden Domain, have an 80% kill rate against a Legendary expert—and a 100% survival rate…
This was critical to Jason.
The question remained: where could he find a place to quickly enhance his cultivation level? Just as he pondered, a mechanical system notification echoed in his mind.
Ding! Based on the host's current situation, a hidden training dungeon quest has been triggered.
1.Choice One: Kirin Cave of Central State, reward: Kirin Transformation Technique.
2.Choice Two: Central Zone of the Beast Forest, reward: Beast Gun Technique.
3.Choice Three: Nether Abyss, reward: Talent—Mastery of Swordsmanship!
Upon hearing the options, Jason pondered briefly before ultimately choosing the Nether Abyss. The reason was simple: the reward from the Nether Abyss was too enticing for him. With the Immortal Slayer Sword in hand, Mastery of Swordsmanship was precisely what he needed right now.
Moreover, Jason remembered that in the original Defying the Evil God, the Nether Abyss was the protagonist Ethan Ye's final training ground before meeting Princess Sarah Long for their three-year promise. There, Ethan acquired the seventeenth-ranked exceptional fire on the Netherworld Fire List—the Netherworld Ghostfire.
Just the idea of intercepting the protagonist's fortuitous encounter here, claiming his destiny points, made this a golden opportunity Jason couldn't pass up.
Ding! The host's dungeon choice is complete. Reward distribution underway!
As the announcement faded, Jason felt a searing pain rip through his mind… Searing sword lights flashed across his consciousness, and a peculiar tingling sensation coursed through his entire body… In his mind, an explanation of the Swordsmanship Talent unfolded:
Mastery of Swordsmanship [First Tier]: Every sword technique can be executed effortlessly.
Keen Insight in Swordsmanship [Second Tier]: Sword speed surpasses the speed of sound, reaching extreme velocity.
Divine Swordsmanship [Third Tier]: The first sword strike reaches the heavens, the second defies the gods, and the third opens the way to the heavens.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the talent: Mastery of Swordsmanship [0/100,000]
Listening to the pleasant notification, a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on Jason's face.

"Jason, I'll ask you one more time. Do you have any objections to becoming the fiancé of my daughter, Livia Dong, and joining the Dong family as my son-in-law?"
Looking at Jason standing there, Duke Dong Raymond Dong's tone grew sterner. He was resolute; if Jason dared to refuse, he would drag him back by force if necessary.
"I have no objections, but I have a small request," Jason replied, surprising everyone with his calm acceptance.
"Speak," Dong Raymond Dong responded nonchalantly, crossing his arms. As long as Jason agreed, everything would go smoothly. This would not only restore the Dong family's honor of a hundred years but also finally resolve his daughter's longstanding marriage arrangement…
His mood could not have been better.
"I won't be going to the Imperial City with you for now. I need to visit the Nether Abyss first," Jason stated frankly.
"The Nether Abyss?"
Hearing this, Dong Raymond Dong's brow furrowed… After a pause, he smirked slightly. "You're not trying to escape the marriage, are you?"
"Of course not!" Jason rolled his eyes, exasperated. His soon-to-be father-in-law really did seem worried he'd make a run for it.
"In that case, I'll allow it," Dong Raymond Dong agreed, his tone full of calm assurance, as though he had everything under control. With a wave of his hand, three thousand elite Dong Imperial Guards lined up instantly. In unison, they knelt and shouted at Jason:
"Greetings to the Imperial Son-in-Law!"
The earth-shaking salute sent a shudder through everyone present!
