Angel King’s expression was complicated as his gaze fell upon a figure seated in the very front row.

That figure’s aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

He recognized that being. It was an Oracle-grade existence even older and stronger than Jesse—Justin!

If he could convince him to make a move...

Then dealing with a lowly human would be effortless!

After the celebration ended, Angel King immediately went to find Justin.

Justin was seated on a chair, idly playing with a star core in his hand. He did not even raise his eyelids.

"The World of Life is protected by the Origin Laws."

Justin’s voice was utterly indifferent.

"You want me to help you erase that man called Faustus? I cannot guarantee success. And I will also suffer the backlash of the laws."

His meaning was perfectly clear.

He wanted compensation!

Oracle-grade beings had their own circles.

To them, anyone below Oracle-grade was nothing more than an ant.

Although Angel King was immensely wealthy, if not for that mountain-like fortune, Justin would not even bother to give him a proper glance.

Angel King knew very well that with his strength and status, he had no right to speak of friendship with Justin.

If he wanted an existence of this level to act, he had to be prepared to pay a painful price.

Originally, he had planned to create an avatar himself and seek revenge, but that would be far too slow and far too impractical. After all, his previous avatar had already been a peak supreme-grade existence, yet had it not still been blasted to death?

Inviting this being to act was the fastest and most reliable method.

No matter the price, he was willing to pay it!

One had to know that in the boundless starry sky, only those transcendent Oracle-grade existences could pierce through the threads of fate, following those invisible and intangible strands to find a living being they had never met, or even never heard of.

With a single thought, they could reduce that being to nothingness.

And that was merely the surface of an Oracle-grade’s power.

A truly supreme Oracle-grade existence could not have their name spoken, their portrait viewed, or their old belongings touched.

That was the true terror of Oracle-grade.

To them, erasing a single existence was as effortless as brushing away dust.

As for those Oracle-grade beings who stood at the very peak of supreme-grade, they could not only completely erase a lifeform from the current space-time, but also uproot that being from any time and space in which they had ever appeared, removing them from the long river of history as though they had never existed at all.

Angel King gritted his teeth.

"Lord Justin, would one million trillion Light Crystals be enough?"

Justin glanced at him, his tone casual.

"What do you think?"

Angel King took a deep breath, feeling as though his heart was bleeding.

"What about five million trillion?"

At last, a faint smile appeared on Justin’s face.

"That is enough for me to give it a try."

Angel King immediately took out a card forged from star crystal and offered it with both hands.

"My lord, this contains five million trillion Light Crystals."

What the angel race lacked the least was Light Crystals. But even so, this was wealth accumulated over countless ages.

Five million trillion was enough to make his heart ache for a thousand years!

Justin accepted the card and gave a slight nod.

The next instant, piercing white light shone from his eyes.

"I have found him—Faustus, is it?"

The white light was like a blade, slicing open the River of Fate.

Justin extended his hand and clenched his five fingers in the air, intending to follow that unseen thread and erase the living being in that distant small world.

But in the next moment—

Pfft!

Justin spat out a mouthful of blood. Golden liquid gushed from his eye sockets, flowing down like two streams of molten gold.

He let out a miserable scream.

"Angel King! Just what kind of existence have you provoked?!"

Angel King’s mind buzzed, instantly going blank.

Justin clutched his eyes, his voice filled with shock and fury.

"That Faustus is protected by endless Fortune Points, and on top of that, he also has the protection of the World of Life’s laws. Instead, I was hit by the dual backlash of both Fortune Points and the laws!"

How was that possible?!

Angel King was completely dumbfounded.

Faustus...

Was actually this terrifying?

Protected by endless Fortune Points?

Even an Oracle-grade existence could not kill him?

He knew that his five million trillion Light Crystals had been completely wasted.

Faustus was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Unless he could find an Oracle-grade existence even stronger than Justin.

But how could someone at that level be within his reach?

Angel King looked out at the endless river of stars, the worry on his face deeper than the night itself.

...

[Ding! Your class change quest has been completed!]

[Ding! You have obtained epic-grade forbidden spell [Puppet of the Wind] ×1! You have obtained [forbidden-grade archer Class Awakening Scroll] ×1!]

Listening to the system notifications echoing beside his ears, Daniel’s lips curled into a smile.

The ultimate reward for the class change quest was not only a Class Awakening Scroll, but also an epic-grade forbidden spell.

A wind-type puppet forbidden spell.

It could kill enemies without a trace.

But just as he was immersed in the joy of his gains, an inexplicable sense of dread surged into his heart like a tide.

It was as though an invisible pair of giant hands had seized his heart tightly.

It was also as though countless eyes were watching his every move from some unknowable void.

This feeling...

Was not pleasant at all!

However, that sense of dread came abruptly and vanished just as strangely. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.

Cold sweat seeped from Daniel’s forehead.

He had clearly sensed some indescribable form of surveillance, yet he had no idea what it was.

This caused a lingering vigilance to rise in the depths of his heart. At the same time, it jolted him fully awake.

He was still far too weak!

The existences above the starry sky, the omnipresent dark god...

These were all things far beyond what he could currently touch. He did not even have the qualifications to look up at them!

Daniel took out the Class Awakening Scroll and used it immediately.

The next moment, fragments of golden light sank into his body like drifting fireflies.

[Ding! Congratulations, your class change has succeeded!]

[Prompt: Your level cap has been unlocked. You may continue leveling up!]

A vast amount of experience was still stored in his Exp pool, and he chose to level up without the slightest hesitation.

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 191. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 195. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 200. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Prompt: You have not yet completed the next stage class change quest. Your level cap has been sealed once again. Excess experience has been temporarily stored in the Exp pool. Please complete your class change as soon as possible to unlock the cap.]

Level 200!

As long as he underwent rebirth and fused with a Divinity, he could become a legendary-grade existence recognized by the system and claim the generous reward for being the first to become a god.

At that moment, the system notification sounded once again.

[Ding! You have obtained the forbidden-grade archer class change quest. Do you wish to accept it?]

"Accept!"

[Ding! You have accepted the forbidden-grade archer class change quest [legendary-grade]! Your quest log has been updated. Please check the details.]

Daniel opened the quest log.

[legendary-grade]

[forbidden-grade archer class change quest]

Restriction: Archer

Quest Difficulty: Exalted-grade

Quest Objective: Become a legendary-grade expert.

Quest Description: To become legendary-grade, one must undergo rebirth at the [Temple] and fuse with a Divinity before officially stepping into legendary-grade.

Quest Hint: The Temple is located in Aetheria at coordinates (6799, 9496).

Quest Duration: Long-term

Quest Reward: [Fountain of Rebirth Construction Blueprint] ×1, [forbidden-grade archer Class Awakening Scroll] ×1

After Daniel finished reading, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

The other conditions for this quest were not difficult. The truly difficult part lay in obtaining a Divinity.

One had to gather 100 Divinity Fragments in order to synthesize a complete Divinity.

Divinities were divided into three grades: Lesser, Middle, and Greater. Greater Divinity was the best, while Lesser Divinity was the lowest.

If he wanted to obtain the highest potential, then he naturally had to choose Greater Divinity.

However, Daniel also noticed something.

This quest was extraordinary!

The reward was incomparably precious—a Fountain of Rebirth blueprint!

With this item in his hands, he would be able to mass-produce legendary-grade experts. Whether they were NPCs under his command or players who yearned to reach the peak, as long as they had touched that threshold, they would be unable to bypass this thing.

This was absolutely a heaven-defying treasure!

And yet...

Was this quest not a little too simple?!

The corners of his lips lifted slightly.

A complete Greater Divinity had already been prepared in his backpack.

In other words, he only needed to go to the Temple, undergo rebirth, and fuse with the Divinity, and this quest would be completed.

However, he vaguely felt that there was a trap hidden behind all of this.

An ominous premonition lingered in his heart.
