On the plains outside the eastern suburbs, there stands a base covering thousands of acres.

This is the monster training ground set up by the East City Fortress.

The training grounds are directly guarded by the garrison and divided into ten different levels of areas, ranging from level one goblins to level forty dinosaurs, encompassing the most common types of monsters on the outskirts of the divine realm.

This is the cradle of new professionals, a safe zone for them to familiarize themselves with combat skills and accumulate experience for leveling up, and also a testing ground for the East City Garrison to select reserve combat forces.

At this moment, in the level 5 area of ​​the training ground, a slender figure was weaving through the monsters, his movements so fast that only afterimages remained.

Lin Chen was dressed in standard swordsman equipment, and as he swung his sword, it brought forth streaks of sharp, cold light.

There are no fancy skills, only the simplest and most precise slashes, thrusts, and parries.

Yet these extremely basic movements can unleash astonishing destructive power.

After swiftly and cleanly killing a goblin, its body twitched twice before transforming into a wisp of pale blue light and dissipating into the air.

At the same time, in Lin Chen's field of vision, a semi-transparent panel flickered slightly, and the experience bar, which was already almost full, instantly increased by a significant amount.

[Slay a level 5 goblin and gain 10 experience points]

"Efficiency can be improved further." Lin Chen muttered to himself, his steps uninterrupted, and with a swift movement, he charged towards the three goblins not far away.

He didn't use any skills.

The Destroyer's skills have immense destructive power and range. Take the Magic Penetrating Cannon as an example; even though Lin Chen has only just awakened it, one shot would be enough to blast through the entire training ground and cause it to collapse.

To avoid attracting attention and for safety reasons, he didn't use any wide-range destructive skills. He simply asked for a basic set of swordsman equipment and started grinding monsters to level up.

But simply by virtue of his legendary profession's basic attributes, coupled with his combat experience from his previous life, he was able to thrive in this low-level area.

At the edge of the monster training ground, a group of professionals dressed in white robes were gathered around a crystal screen, their eyes fixed on Lin Chen's figure.

They were all awakened support classes such as priests, healers, and buff mages, and were specially transferred by Wei Shan to provide logistical support for Lin Chen.

"Quick! Cast Power Amplification on Lin Chen!" A priest shouted rapidly, staring at the screen. His fingertips swept across the magic circle in front of him, and a golden light shot into the sky, landing on Lin Chen.

"Keep up with the speed aura! Don't let it drop!"

"He still has energy to recover! His stamina is depleting too quickly!"

"Fatigue relief is included too! Sustained battery life is the most important!"

Beams of light of different colors rushed to drape over Lin Chen as if they were free.

Attack power boost, attack speed increase, defense enhancement, stamina recovery... more than a dozen positive buffs were stacked on Lin Chen, making his movements increasingly swift and his destructive power increasingly terrifying.

In front of the crystal screen, a round-faced warlock swallowed hard, his voice filled with disbelief. "Look at his movements, every step is so precise that he can dodge the monster's attacks and even counterattack."

"This isn't a newcomer at all; he's a seasoned combat master!"

"Indeed!" The buff mage beside him nodded repeatedly, pointing at Lin Chen on the screen. "Look at his swordplay, not a single unnecessary movement. Every strike precisely hits the monster's weak point. Even if someone has practiced swordsmanship since childhood, they shouldn't be this skilled, right?"

No one present was an ordinary person; they were all talents who had passed the fortress's screening. Finding out Lin Chen's past would not be difficult for them.

They all knew that Lin Chen was an orphan who grew up on relief food from the fortress. He was usually quiet and reserved, and his only hobby was practicing swordsmanship.

Even with extraordinary talent, it's impossible to be this strong!

"It's probably a boost from his profession." An older priest sighed, his eyes full of envy. "Commander Wei said that Lin Chen awakened a special profession with limitless potential."

"Now it seems, his potential isn't just limitless, it's downright heaven-defying! No wonder he's a big shot who could alarm headquarters!"

"At this rate, he'll be able to handle things on his own in just a few months, right?"

"With a dedicated support team, their development will be incredibly fast!"

These words instantly struck a chord with everyone.

In the survival rules of the Divine Realm, a powerful main class player will inevitably have a support team that is highly compatible with him/her.

The main force is responsible for charging into battle, while the support is responsible for buffs, healing, and crowd control. The two complement each other to unleash their strongest combat power.

Those who can join top-tier teams will not only gain access to abundant resources, but also safely level up and explore more dangerous divine realms under the protection of these leaders.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lin Chen was focused on killing monsters at the moment, and each swing of his longsword brought an end to a life.

But his thoughts had already drifted far away.

"In my previous life, my biggest mistake was that I rose to power too quickly and didn't have a trusted team."

With a casual thrust of his sword, he pierced the chest of a fire goblin, watching it dissipate into a pale blue light. In his mind, images from his past life flashed through Lin Chen's mind.

In his previous life, after awakening as a swordsman, he also joined a small team composed of civilian professionals.

Later, when the team couldn't keep up with him, he simply went alone.

At that time, I focused all my energy on improving myself, believing in the principle that hierarchy is king and strength is supreme, thinking that as long as the sword in my hand was sharp enough, I could cut through any obstacle.

But it wasn't until his dying moments that he realized that a person's strength is ultimately limited.

If he had a support team he could completely trust at the time, with a priest to heal his injuries, a buff mage to boost his combat power, and a crowd control mage to restrain the enemy, how could he have been ambushed by those treacherous bastards?

"If I had a team that could work seamlessly with me in my past life, my strength would have increased by at least 10%." Lin Chen's eyes sharpened.

A 10% increase in strength may not seem like much, but at his level, every bit of improvement is incredibly difficult.

A 10% increase is enough for him to change many things at crucial moments.

"Every major force that can stand at the pinnacle of humanity has a core team that has grown up together since childhood behind it."

"In my past life, I rose to prominence through sheer luck. Before changing jobs, I was just an ordinary swordsman, completely unrelated to those top-tier support professionals, and had no right to build my own team."

"But this life is different."

A glint of confidence flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

He possesses a legendary skill set, starting at the peak. More importantly, he has memories of the next thirty years.

Among them are talents who are still unknown and have not been discovered by major forces.

He could leverage the information gap to bring them under his control in advance.

With these future top-tier support players, plus his legendary status as a professional, he is confident he can assemble the most elite team in human history.

With this team, he can not only improve his strength more quickly and avenge his past life, but also delve into the core area of ​​the divine realm and explore those forbidden areas that even he dared not set foot in in his past life.

More importantly, this team can help him bridge the gap between professionals in this world and professionals in other worlds.

Just like humans, there are many worlds that have been invaded by the God Realm game, and there are also professionals in other worlds.

In his previous life, after leaving the Kingdom of Staff and Sword instance, Lin Chen experienced many adventures in the Divine Realm and encountered many professionals from other worlds.

Among them were humans like him, as well as strange and unusual races.

Some worlds even contain races that seem to have stepped out of human fantasy works.

They possess profound knowledge and experience, and the pioneers among them have even reached professions beyond the legendary ones.

In his previous life, Lin Chen had fought against an archer from an elven-like alien race.

His opponent's profession was by no means inferior to his. If he hadn't fought desperately with his Destroyer talent, he would probably have died under the opponent's arrows long ago.

"In this life, with this team, I will not only seek revenge, but also lead humanity to a wider realm of gods!" A raging fire ignited in Lin Chen's heart.

While Lin Chen was grinding monsters and leveling up, planning his future, Luo Kunlun was quietly standing in an inconspicuous corner of the training ground.

The gaze pierced through the monsters' bodies and landed on their very essence.

"These monsters are all formed from source matter, but they are somewhat different from the source matter that I have seen in the brains of wizard apprentices before. They feel purer."

"Killing a monster, or more accurately, scattering the aggregated source matter, will result in a small portion belonging to the killer. That's experience."

"And most of the rest will scatter."

"Of course, it's also possible for it to materialize into an item with special effects, like equipment or other dropped items."

At this moment, Lin Chen killed a goblin thief with a single sword strike.

The goblin thief's body vanished in a pale blue light. Where it disappeared, a flash of silver light appeared, and a palm-sized dagger fell to the ground.

Lin Chen did not pick up the dagger because of a message that popped up on the panel in his field of vision.

[Obtained a Sharp Dagger (Fine)]

[Attribute: Sharpness +3]

[Description: Forged from the claws of a goblin thief, capable of cutting through iron like mud]

The dagger's stats are decent, but it's useless to him. He uses a sword; a dagger is completely unnecessary for him.

Luo Kunlun's gaze fell on the dagger.

The dagger was no bigger than the palm of my hand, and its material looked no different from ordinary steel. Its construction was also very simple.

Under normal circumstances, such a dagger has limited killing power. Let alone cutting through iron like mud, it might not even leave a deep mark on a wooden board.

But it has the attribute "Sharpness +3".

Even a child could easily slice a thick wooden board as easily as cutting tofu with it.

This doesn't make sense.

But that's just how it is.

Just like professionals, if we disregard destructive power and only consider one-on-one combat strength, professionals above level 400 have already stepped into the threshold of the fourth ring.

Life at that level exists in a form that is no longer human.

An energy body, a consciousness body, a body composed of neutron degenerate states...

But professionals are no different from normal human beings.

"A product of pure idealism."

The rules of the divine realm are illogical.

A professional's level is increased by absorbing source matter.

The power of a weapon depends on its attribute bonuses.

The release of energy depends on the activation of skills.

.............................

After that, Luo Kunlun stopped observing Lin Chen.

I know everything I need to know. Now, it's time to go to that place.

Special copy.

This is the most mysterious area in the divine realm.

Unlike ordinary rifts that are only overrun by monsters, special dungeons have a complete ecosystem, unique rules, and even their own history and civilization.

Under normal circumstances, the monsters in the Divine Realm only have the instinct to kill and no intelligence, so professionals cannot communicate with them.

However, a special kind of "being" exists in the special dungeons.

They have independent consciousness, are eloquent, have their own joys and sorrows, and can even trade, cooperate, and fight with professionals.

They are referred to as NPCs by professionals.

These NPCs are less like monsters and more like living, breathing people.

They have their own identities, their own stances, and their own lives.

Some are guardians in dungeons, some are hidden merchants, some are princesses waiting for redemption, and some are demon kings who rule over a region.

A special instance is a region where multiple such "characters" exist and each has distinct characteristics.

Stepping into the special instance is like traveling through time and space to a completely unfamiliar other world.

The Kingdom of Staffs and Swords that Lin Chen discovered by chance in his previous life was such a place.

It was a magical kingdom, similar to an anime, comics, and games (ACG) adventure game, with majestic castles, dense forests, surging rivers, and magicians wielding staffs and swordsmen holding swords.

Lo Kunlun was very interested in this copy.

Luo Kunlun's figure flickered and disappeared from the East City.

Following the coordinates in Lin Chen's memory, and while concealing himself as much as possible, Luo Kunlun moved deeper into the Divine Realm.

Upon entering the crevice, the sky was no longer gray, but had turned a deep purple, as if stained with blood.

The earth cracked open, revealing deep, bottomless ravines, from which flowed scalding magma.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and sulfur; one breath was enough to make your lungs ache.

This is a forbidden zone for most professionals.

Luo Kunlun arrived at the special rift in one step.

This is the rift leading to the land of the sword and staff.

Without hesitation, Luo Kunlun stepped inside.

On the other side of the rift lies a completely different world.

Blue skies and white clouds, birdsong and fragrant flowers, the warm sunshine bathing the earth. In the distance, rolling green hills rise, and at their foot lies a vast grassland. On the grassland, a group of knights in armor ride steeds, brandishing longswords, training their formation.

This is the special instance that Lin Chen calls the Kingdom of Staff and Sword; of course, it has its own name.

The locals call their world the continent of Dedro.

.................................

Upon arriving here, Luo Kunlun began gathering information.

The entire instance is a single continent, covering an area of ​​thirteen million square kilometers.

The creatures are mainly humans, subhumans, and fantasy creatures including dragons.

The nations on the continent either revere magicians or warriors, with magicians being the most revered.

They believed that magic could create everything, and that powerful mages were gods.

In an instant, Luo Kunlun scanned the entire continent and recorded all the information.

Meanwhile, in a country in the central part of the continent, an individual caught his attention.

That was a country called Saint France, the pinnacle of magical civilization on the continent of Dedro.

The capital of the Holy Kingdom is suspended ten thousand meters in the air, composed of countless floating islands connected by rainbow bridges covered with shimmering magical runes.

In the center of the capital city stands a magic tower ten thousand meters high, its entire body made of obsidian, with a huge magic crystal embedded at its top. Purple light flows within the crystal, which is the energy core of the entire Holy Kingdom.

The individual who caught Lokunlun's attention lived on the very top floor of this magic tower.

He was a boy who looked to be only a teenager, dressed in a pure white robe embroidered with star and moon patterns.

At this moment, he was sitting on a chair woven from magical vines, holding a thick ancient book in his hands. The pages were blank, with only flashing runes on them.

This boy is not an NPC.

At least, not an ordinary NPC.

The boy's body was filled with pure primal essence.

These source substances seemed to have transformed into his blood, his bones, his soul... He himself was a massive aggregate of source substances.

Under the aggregation, the source of the whole seems to have a touch of sacred radiance.

Did quantitative change lead to qualitative change?

Besides, Luo Kunlun could clearly sense that the boy was very ancient.

It was a sense of vicissitude that came with the passage of time, which was completely out of place with his youthful appearance as a teenager, as if he had been drifting in the river of time for thousands of years.

What's even more surprising is that this guy is a professional.

Moreover, he is a high-level professional.

【Name: Diderot】

[Class: Planeswalker]

[Rank: Mythical (God of Travelers)]

[Level: 549]

[Talents: Divine Body, Interdimensional Projection, Spacetime Beacon...]

[Skills: Meteor Shower, Time-Space Exile....]

Mythical Rank!

Level 549!

For the first time, a genuine look of surprise flashed in Luo Kunlun's eyes.

Above legends lies the realm of myth.

Reaching level 400 means you've already touched the threshold of the fourth ring; level 500, what that represents is self-evident.

Also, his name is Didero, and the continent is also called Didero.

Is there a connection between the two?

Thinking of this, Luo Kunlun's gaze quietly fell upon the boy on the top floor of the magic tower, trying to uncover the secrets behind the overlap between his name and the continent.

He encountered no resistance, as if the boy had tacitly approved of his spying.

A series of fragmented images appeared.

Long ago, or rather, in the previous era of the Divine Realm.

A world encounters the divine realm, and professionals emerge.

Didero is one of them, and the class he awakened is quite powerful.

Afterwards, the stars shattered, the divine realm collapsed, and endless darkness devoured all life.

At that time, Didero had already broken through the level 500 mark and become a god in the eyes of professionals, a powerful figure standing at the top of the divine realm.

Even someone as powerful as him could not withstand the torrent that brought an end to the era.

In the final moment before the world collapsed, Dedro abandoned everything he could, leaving only his left hand to enter the new era.

Countless years have passed, and the divine hand slowly unfolded in the chaos. Its palm lines transformed into the mountains and rivers of the continent, its finger bones solidified into continuous mountain ranges, and its palm nurtured rivers, lakes, seas, and countless living beings.

The entire continent was formed from the left hand of Dedro.

He himself, relying on the last bit of thought he had left, along with the scattered essence of all living beings on the continent, transformed into the appearance of a teenager, and now resides on the top floor of the magic tower in the center of the continent.

"You've been spying for so long, it's time for you to show yourself."

The boy's voice came from the top of the magic tower. His tone was calm and indifferent, yet it carried a power that penetrated people's hearts.

Luo Kunlun made no attempt to conceal himself, appearing directly on the top floor of the magic tower.

He looked at the boy sitting in the wicker chair, and the boy looked up at him.

"You don't seem to be a professional from the New Era?" Diderot spoke first, his tone tinged with curiosity.

He could sense that Luo Kunlun didn't have a so-called profession.

But how could someone become so powerful without a profession?

"nature."

"Speaking of which, why did you let me pry into your past without any hindrance?" Luo Kunlun changed the subject, voicing the question that had been on his mind.

This boy is not as harmless as he appears, yet allowing him to spy freely is far too abnormal.

"Because I can't beat you." The boy shrugged, his tone tinged with helplessness, a self-deprecating smile on his fair face. "I'm just a wisp of remnant spirit now, parasitizing this continent where my broken body has taken form. I can only mobilize a handful of powers, at most bullying those who haven't even touched the threshold of godhood."

"Let alone someone like you, even some legendary figures with profound backgrounds might be able to exchange a few blows with me, so why would I want to make things difficult for myself?"

"Moreover, as an outsider like you, in the previous era, there were probably only a few guys who could rival you."

Luo Kunlun's gaze shifted slightly, clearly intrigued by the previous era he mentioned, and he immediately pressed, "In the previous era, how many powerful beings like you were there?"

"There are twelve in total." Diderot's gaze drifted to the window, as if he could see his past glory through the clouds. His tone carried a hint of nostalgia and a touch of melancholy. "We are collectively known as the Twelve Olympian Gods."

"Besides these, there are some gods who exist outside of us, each with different strengths, yet each a ruler of their own domain."

At least twelve or more Holy-level.

The Starry Sky War Disk records the acquired deities among the heavens. Once ten deities exist simultaneously, the war disk will activate.

However, the sacred beings in the divine realm are not affected by this.

In other words, the divine realm is almost independent of all the heavens.
