In the end, it's possible to gain nothing and be punished by the Immortal Venerable, but I'm already at the bottom of the Immortal World. At most, I'll just have to endure guarding the Supervision Tower for a thousand years, a sort of hard labor.
However, the unexpected changes that followed caught me off guard: I suddenly found myself in high demand after being ignored for tens of thousands of years! Immortals began visiting my door, and later people began bringing gifts. After that, low-level immortal officials with some power came too, promising many "benefits".
Their only request was for me to help them find out whether their lineage still had inheritors in the Lower Realm.
The Heavenly Track Revival made contacting the Lower Realm possible, but not everyone could do so. Without the Immortal Venerable's orders, who would dare to connect with the Lower Realm at this sensitive time?
