Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 248 Zhu Ya: The Second Angel
The sacrifice of two trillion souls could not shake this building in the slightest.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a genuine level 10 creation.

His god-level talent, which allows him to detect information about creations of this level, has given Lu Cang a higher assessment of the potential of his talent.

Lu Cang never knew exactly which level of existence a god-level talent could affect.

And on what level of being will it fail?

It seems that even level 10... should still be effective to some extent.

However, immortality...

Immortality again?

Where in this world can you find so much immortality? How come I've encountered so many opportunities that so many people crave but never get?
Looking around, all I could see was a vast, endless sea of ​​clouds.

This whole day of rehearsal should not be wasted under any circumstances.

Now there are two choices: one is to climb the ladder to immortality, and the other is to descend deeper into the clouds and find the existence of the heavens.

As for exploring in all directions.

That left me completely clueless.

I climbed hundreds of steps of the Stairway to Immortality but felt nothing, and it's highly unlikely I'll ever reach the top.

Let's try exploring the sea of ​​clouds.

At least there might be a real chance to see the Celestial Realm. I wonder what the Celestial Realm is? Is it an upper world similar to the realm of immortals where mortals ascend, or is it just another region?
Hopefully, it won't be one of those tropes where you spend ages leveling up only to find out you're just a lowly soldier in the upper realm.

If that's the case.

I'd rather be the invincible strongest in the lower realm than a nobody in the upper realm.

If I had to choose whether or not to fly to the immortal realm in a cultivation novel, I would absolutely have no desire to do so.

As for that Wright...

I felt like I was killed by the aftershock of that attack.

He seemed to have climbed to a very high place.

Lu Cang slowly climbed the stairs, but Wright seemed to be running up them.

With a level 6 puppet and god-level talent, climbing tens of thousands of steps in a short time is no problem for him at all.

A light mist shrouded the second step, making it impossible to see the end of the staircase.

So, as Lu Cang walked up the steps, he couldn't see if there was anyone in front of him.

Perhaps Wright isn't the only one climbing this staircase; it's even possible that the architect named Di Fu is also climbing the staircase he built.

"That's all..."

Lu Cang turned and headed downwards.

"Azure Flow - Eighth Form: Movement"

boom!
A wave of air surged forth!
Lu Cang then plummeted rapidly towards the sea of ​​clouds below!

At the same time, layers of shields rose around him: ice shield, fire shield, wind shield, lightning shield, dark shield...

After about two minutes of flight time, Lu Cang had already reached the very bottom of the sea of ​​clouds that he had destroyed by sacrificing two trillion souls.

call!
The shield on his body came into contact with the sea of ​​clouds.

It also completely melted away the sea of ​​clouds in an instant.

"I can pass through the sea of ​​clouds and see the heavens."

Lu Cang could actually grant me the wish to climb the Stairway to Immortality and achieve eternal life.

But after thinking about it, I realized this wish could come true.

But to achieve it in a single day is really a bit of a dream, so Lu Cang decided to make his wish a little more realistic, one that might be able to be fulfilled in a day.

And this was Lu Cang's second wish.

My first wish is, "I can emerge alive from the ancient ruins."

Lu Cang originally wanted to make a very long-term wish to ensure that he would live forever, but later realized that if one wish was a long-term wish, then another short-term wish might also be made.

During the rehearsal, there were no extra wish slots available.

Therefore, Lu Cang temporarily shelved his long-term aspirations.

The sea of ​​clouds was thick, but initially, there was not much resistance as we ventured deeper into the area.

These clouds can be melted away simply with shield magic.

However, the further it dips downwards...

These clouds grew thicker and thicker, turning into something resembling a viscous white liquid, and Lu Cang's flight gradually encountered resistance.

The speed naturally slowed down.

Suddenly, a dangerous warning came to my mind!

Swah——

Lu Cang flashed in an instant!

Not knowing where to hide, I can only make a token effort to hide for now, while activating all my defenses!

boom!
But almost instantly, an attack that was completely unreasonable erupted!

The 100,000-layer shield was pierced in an instant!
Lu Cang's entire body was completely shattered! In an extremely terrifying burst of light, it was instantly burned to ashes!
However, this time, Lu Cang did not die completely.

Instead, it was a broken pendant on her body.

This is the "Guardian of the Soul's Existence" from the Holy One, which will preserve a wisp of the soul no matter how terrifying the attack.

The "Ten Thousand Battles Unbreakable Body" combines the soul with the body.

As long as a wisp of his soul remains, it will be enough for Lu Cang to... recover!
Snapped!
Lu Cang, who had been blasted into nothingness, instantly reassembled his flesh and blood, and regained his complete human form!
The instant it takes shape.

Lu Cang finally saw the entity that was attacking him.

This being stood right in front of him at this very moment, and the countless thick, turbid clouds around him vanished in the face of this attack.

It leaves behind a vast and open space.

Is this an angel with two smooth, feathery wings?
The angel floated in front of Lu Cang, and just looking directly at it made Lu Cang feel his body burning up.

What exactly did I encounter?
"He's still alive?"

"He's clearly very weak, but you can't tell what's going on... What an interesting little guy."

Lu Cang calmed down.

Having just taken that blow, Lu Cang already knew the origin of the attack.

"The Karmic Burning Style - Fifteenth Form"

"Light Combat Art: Burn Away the Sins of This World"

Creator: Zhu Ya

The user in front of them was "Lacy".

"Date of death: 2452"

Lu Cang stood facing her, but did not speak rashly. Relying purely on combat strength... he probably couldn't defeat her.

Should we end the rehearsal?

The holy being before them spoke: "Why have you appeared here, unknown life? You have stepped into the territory of the heavens."

After thinking it over, Lu Cang finally made his decision.

Lu Cang loosened the information blockade on some unsolvable mysteries, allowing the other party to perceive a significant amount of his true information.

Lacey sensed Lu Cang's physical strength and his magical power.

His eyes were holy and piercing, as if he could see right through Lu Cang's body.

But they discovered that Lu Cang was merely a level 4 mage and a level 4 warrior...

That's far too weak.

Lu Cang truthfully replied, "While exploring the ruins, I encountered a door that suddenly appeared. I don't know what's below it."

"I just intend to explore downwards a bit."

I did come here inexplicably because of the Chaotic Month, and the other party doesn't seem to have the desire to attack a second time.

Lu Cang still intends to try to negotiate.

As for why it's called negotiation...

Isn't it because they can't beat them?

If we can beat them, we should definitely kill this guy who attacked us without even asking what happened first.

Lu Cang hates people who kill him for no reason.

But since we can't beat them, let's try to gather some information first.

Lacey's voice was indifferent: "Oh..."

"So that's what happened because of the chaos. I was wondering how someone as weak as you could end up above the restricted area."

"It's somewhat understandable."

"However, this place is now a forbidden zone, and we are not allowed to go any further."

"Go back to where you came from."

How can you kill someone first, then, after finding that you can't kill them in one hit, tell them that you came from the same place and went back to where you came from?

Even after that attack, everything on his body was gone.

Storage bags, storage containers, and other items were all instantly damaged.

Lu Cang said in a childish voice, "Sister, I don't know how to get back. There are no other roads up there."

Lacey's voice was indifferent: "Then that's none of my business. I'm just telling you that the area ahead is a restricted zone."

That's really heartless; how could they ignore a child's pleas for help?
It seems that appealing to sympathy isn't working either.

Lu Cang thought for a moment, then sat down out of thin air and said, "Then, may I sit here and talk to you, sister?" Lacey was slightly taken aback.

say?

Before Lacey could answer, Lu Cang asked, "Sister, have you been staying here the whole time?"

Lacey: "No, I just sensed someone breaking in, so I came to check."

Oh……

That seems to be really fast.

Lu Cang then asked, "Is everyone in the Heavenly Realm as strong as my sister?"

Lacey: "No, I am Lord Juya's second angel, the guardian of Heaven. There is only one being above me in Heaven."

It seems... the Celestial Realm isn't such a distant place after all.

And judging from her reaction, she doesn't seem to mind asking these questions.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she answered every question I asked, which was somewhat unexpectedly smooth.

"My sister is willing to chat with me too?"

Lacey responded calmly, "As long as you don't venture further into the restricted area, I don't need to be your enemy."

"I don't have any other important matters to attend to, so talking to you won't be of any use to me."

Lacey's tone was calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

Her voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Sister Lacey, what level of job advancement are you?"

Lu Cang asked the question that he was very concerned about. Although he had learned the other party's name from that attack, he did not know what level of job changer the other party was.

It's not feasible to touch her directly now.

If you were to touch it directly, you'd probably be killed on the spot.

Lacey responded calmly, "Level 8."

Level 8...

So, a level 8 job changer really can instantly kill me?

Lu Cang believed he could defend against the attacks of a level 7 job changer, and not only defend against them, but also attempt to counterattack.

The level 8 job changer actually killed him before they even met.

But how come someone that strong isn't level 9?
How difficult is it to reach level 9?

"And you, where did you come from?"

After answering Lu Cang's questions, Lacey finally spoke.

"Oh, I was exploring an ancient ruin in the Moon Sea when I encountered a portal that suddenly appeared and was teleported here."

Lu Cang answered truthfully.

Lacey murmured, "Moon Sea..."

"That's really far away."

"Did Sister Lacey also go to Moon Sea?"

Lacey: "Yes, I went there once two thousand years ago."

Lived that long?

They still have more than 2,400 years left before they die, and they may not even die of old age.

You're telling me you went to the Sea of ​​the Moon two thousand years ago?

Are you really a Level 8 job changer?
An Zheng is about to cry.

However, lifespans vary between species; even on Earth, there are sharks that can live for hundreds of years.

I've heard that the elves in this world are quite long-lived, often living for thousands of years.

From this perspective, human lifespan is truly rather tragic.

However, humans don't have the shortest lifespans; I've heard that orcs have even shorter lifespans than humans...

"Huh? Sister Lacey, what were you doing that time?"

"I originally planned to kill a skin snatcher, but I found out that she had become a god. Lord Zhuya asked me to come back, so I gave up."

It seems not hard to guess who it is.

"By the way, does Sister Lacey know if there's a staircase up there?"

"What is that staircase for?"

Lacey shook her head: "I don't know."

"Never been there?"

"Above that is an area we are not allowed to set foot in. Although it is only a line away, it is imperceptible and cannot be crossed."

"So as long as you go back up, I won't hurt you."

Oh, I see.

They really are very disciplined.

I don't know why the Emperor wanted to build the Stairway to Immortality on it.

"May I ask you some questions about the celestial realm?"

Lacey's emotions were like a robot's, without any fluctuation: "If it's something I can talk about, I don't mind."

"In return, I'm also curious about some things about you."

He spoke casually, yet said he was curious.

Lu Cang couldn't detect any fluctuations in her emotions; her emotions were always a straight line.

"Yes, I will honestly tell Sister Lacey anything I know."

Lacey: "Mmm."

Heh... If you can still get my information under the dual effects of an unsolvable mystery and a future rehearsal, then I'll give it to you.

Lu Cang's wish to go to the Heavenly Realm was not fulfilled.

However, I learned quite a bit about the Celestial Realm from Lacey.

There are six angels under Juya's command. The first angel is of level 9, and the other five angels are of level 8.

Lacey is the second one, and also the strongest one among the level 8.

Lu Cang called it the Great Perfection of Level 8, half a step into Level 9...

Knowing this, it's not surprising that the opponent could kill me in one blow.

However, are all level 9 angels subordinates of Zhu Ya?
Didn't they say that a level 9 job changer could go toe-to-toe with a god?
It seems that there are indeed some differences in these nine levels of strength.

If we disregard the fact that she killed herself with her first blow, Lacey was relatively easy to talk to; she even asked some questions about the present world.

It turns out that, in the eyes of the celestial beings, the world composed of places like the Moon Sea, the Secret Sea, and the Boundless Mountain is called the present world.

I had a conversation with a top-tier figure from the celestial realm.

The information we obtained was truly extensive, greatly expanding our understanding of the lair, the monsters, and the world at a certain level.

It turns out that the lair is not only invading the mortal world, but also invading the celestial realm.

Besides the Celestial Realm, there are also the Astral Realm, the Underworld, and the Abyss Realm. The Astral Realm is the world where the stars we see with the naked eye exist. In Lacey's words, that world seems to be very much like the universe.

The elements in the astral plane are extremely sparse, and there is almost no magic present.

Using magic in the astral plane is difficult, as magical energy cannot be replenished unless there is a way to replenish it without relying on drawing magic energy from the air.

Furthermore, the laws governing the universe are different in the astral realm.

The specific differences can only be known by actually going there; it seems that different regions of the astral plane also have different laws.

Astral Plane...

Lu Cang really wants to go and see it someday.

Maybe it really is the universe, maybe I really can go home.

And the classification of demons has finally been clarified, including the hierarchy of demons in the celestial realm.

The strength of a monster is related to its evolution level. Monsters will continue to evolve. Among monsters of the same rank, each evolution is a transformation. The pure white tree that I killed was probably already at the seventh rank and had undergone two transformations.

The upper limit for the seventh rank is 7 transformations, but generally, 4 transformations are enough to qualify for the eighth rank.

A submerged-level monster is equivalent to the fifth transformation of a 6th-tier monster. I have never seen a 6th-tier monster that has undergone six transformations before.

The two chatted for quite a while. Lacey seemed to have nothing better to do and spent the whole day talking with Lu Cang.

Furthermore, Lu Cang even learned all eight combat techniques of the "Karma Burning Sin School".

This combat technique is truly terrifying in its power.

The ultimate light-based combat technique, each strike carries an almost indelible holy burn effect.

The body-strengthening method also has a purifying effect, which can dispel and greatly immunize against curses.

His movement technique was also extremely fast; even when it wasn't highly compatible with his own abilities, his speed was comparable to his "Eighth Form: Movement".

Unfortunately, the rehearsal time was limited, and Lu Cang still had a lot to learn.

I didn't get to talk to Lacey enough.

The rehearsal ended at the very last moment.

Lu Cang's thoughts returned to reality...

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful and disappointed.

Such opportunities to communicate with top-tier experts from another world are rare indeed.

However, Lu Cang quickly composed himself and turned to the two of them, saying, "This door is a dead end. We shouldn't go in with him."
