Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Divinity is either a metamorphic form of the source matter or its original appearance.

Based on all the information available so far, the statement that "the source is the outflow of divinity," which Luo Kunlun had previously learned, is undoubtedly correct.

As for what divinity is, in Lo Kunlun's understanding, it is by no means the vague "divine attribute" in the traditional religious context, but refers to a special existence possessed by a physical entity that can transcend the conventional laws of physics and causal logic.

Simply put, divinity is a metaphysical, idealistic force.

The same applies to the source material; it is a product of its deterioration.

The wizarding system is based on this, which is why it has been able to obtain the ability to interfere with reality, thus forging a seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed path.

This is also the root cause of why professionals can defy conventional physical laws, natural laws, and inherent human cognition.

They are all anomalous entities.

This anomalous entity encompasses not only the professionals themselves, but also the various monsters that inhabit the divine realm, and the various items they drop upon death.

If divinity is the true nature of the source matter, and the source matter is merely the form in which divinity dissipates... then isn't this endless cycle of eras in the divine realm a massive "purification" process?

While the captive wizard groups can obtain source essence, that source essence is ultimately impure and contains too many useless impurities, making it difficult to use directly.

However, the Divine Realm has constructed a complete system.

It allows professionals to fight monsters and absorb the source energy released after the monsters die.

When the source essence accumulates to a critical value, it will shed impurities and return to its divine essence during the process of professional sublimation.

Finally, at the end of the era, all the divinity scattered throughout the divine realm was gathered together.

In this way, the setting of the level cap for professionals also makes sense.

The owner of the sheepfold would naturally not allow the flock to grow to the point of being out of his control, or even possessing the power to oppose him.

The divine realm connects countless different times and spaces with myriad worlds, and the number of beings drawn into it is too numerous to count.

With such a vast number of intelligent beings, there will always be some outliers that break the norm.

Within the core of these beings' true spirits, "professions" with different level caps are established. This not only allows them to firmly control everything and prevent events from deviating from the predetermined path, but also enables them to steadily harvest the pure divinity after transformation.

Why wouldn't the person behind the scenes be happy to do something that kills two birds with one stone?

However, there is another problem here, namely the true level of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The origin world of wizards, Tindaros.

It is also the predecessor of the non-linear spacetime of the Divine Realm.

Nonlinear spacetime, simply put, is like a segment extracted from a video.

In Felix's memory, the wizard who left the message clearly mentioned that he had managed to escape before Tindaros was sealed off.

This is completely illogical.

If the mastermind truly possessed power at the level of an ancestor, there would be no way that a wizard who was at most a fifth-ring could escape.

With the methods of the progenitor, he should have completed the complete transformation of Tindaros in an instant, leaving no chance for any living being to escape.

Luo Kunlun's thoughts suddenly paused as an overlooked possibility flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Or perhaps, it was intentional."

He himself could foresee the future, so there's no reason why the legendary ancestor couldn't do the same.

"So, the guy who created all this foresaw the future, knew I would come here, and that's why he deliberately let those wizards escape?"

The idea had barely surfaced when Luo Kunlun rejected it himself.

"But that doesn't make sense. Now that I've entered the realm of gods, why is the other side hesitant to make a move?"

He is currently only at the fourth level. With the ancestor's all-encompassing power, suppressing him is just a matter of turning his palm and there is no difficulty at all.

Moreover, before he decided to enter the Divine Realm, he had carefully observed the future. It was precisely because he foresaw that there was no danger ahead that Luo Kunlun chose to step into this space-time without hesitation.

Could it be... that the other party is not the progenitor?

"Wait a minute, I seem to have overlooked something crucial."

Just then, a name suddenly flashed through Luo Kunlun's mind—Lin Chen.

Rebirth, to be precise, is when consciousness transcends time and space and descends to a past point in another timeline.

But can an ordinary individual really achieve the feat of having their consciousness travel to a past point in another timeline?

This question, like a thorn, pierced Luo Kunlun's heart, making him unable to remain calm. He immediately decided to return to Dongcheng to uncover the truth behind this matter.

"Outsider, you seem to have thought of something." Seeing the fluctuations in Luo Kunlun's aura, which clearly indicated that he intended to leave, Dideluo couldn't help but ask.

"There's something I've overlooked that I need to confirm."

"Well then, good luck."

The moment he finished speaking, Luo Kunlun vanished from the spot.

Piercing through the thick walls of the dungeon and traversing the vast and boundless world of the divine realm, the next instant, they landed steadily in the training ground of the East City.

At this moment, Lin Chen was holding a cold, gleaming iron sword, fighting against low-level demons in a corner of the training ground.

Lin Chen's level increased extremely quickly. In just half a day after his job awakening, he broke through the level 20 mark and reached level 21.

Furthermore, his awakened class is the legendary Destroyer. In terms of combat power alone, even though his level is still low, he is by no means inferior to those non-legendary class players who have worked hard to level up for a year after awakening.

Having awakened his professional skills in just half a day, he had already moved beyond the ranks of novices and become a professional capable of standing on his own.

Just as Lin Chen swiftly severed the head of a demon and watched it dissipate into a wisp of green smoke, a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Everything around us seemed to have been paused, completely still.

The swirling dust hovered in mid-air, and the commotion from the distant Demon Realm abruptly ceased.

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Time stops.

He had the good fortune to have witnessed this ability in his previous life.

Those who possess this ability are generally at level 300 or above.

The strongest being in the East City, Garrison Commander Wei Shan, is only level 245.

This level would be considered top-tier in ordinary places, but in front of such a powerful figure, they are utterly insignificant, as fragile as ants.

In this eerie stillness, Luo Kunlun's figure appeared right in front of Lin Chen.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing Luo Kunlun suddenly appear, Lin Chen gripped his iron sword tightly, holding it horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes filled with vigilance. His body was tense, every muscle ready for battle, not daring to relax for a moment.

The mysterious person in front of him gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth.

"What is your name, senior, and what brings you here?" Lin Chen suppressed the pounding in his heart and shouted loudly to Luo Kunlun.

Even with the memories and experiences of his previous life, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease at this moment.

The mysterious person before him possessed unfathomable strength; he was completely unable to fathom the depth of the other's abilities.

This feeling was even more unsettling than when facing those powerful figures from my previous life.

Why would I suddenly encounter such a powerful opponent? It shouldn't be like this.

Upon hearing this, Luo Kunlun did not answer his question. Instead, he looked at him calmly and said bluntly, "Kid, don't waste your time. I know about your past."

"How does it feel to have traveled to a past point in this seemingly parallel world?"

These words struck Lin Chen like a thunderbolt.

Lin Chen shuddered, his hand gripping the iron sword tightened slightly, and his knuckles turned pale from the force.

How did he know I was reborn?

Does it mean they have mind-reading abilities or something similar?

No, if that were the case, one could easily deal with it by simply closing off one's heart and building a mental barrier. But the certainty in the mysterious man's words sent a chill down his spine.

and many more.

Traveling to a past point in another timeline?

A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Chen's mind—was he not going back to the past?

Once this idea arises, it grows wildly like weeds.

In an instant, Lin Chen suddenly remembered that there seemed to be subtle discrepancies between many details of his past life and this life. Those sense of incongruity that he had subconsciously ignored all surfaced at this moment.

In his previous life, Wei Shan, the garrison commander of Dongcheng, was a middle-aged man in his prime, decisive and efficient, with a sharp and piercing aura between his brows.

In this life, however, Wei Shan is an old man with white hair and beard, completely different from the image in his memory.

In his previous life, the class he attended had a total of forty-seven students, including himself.

But in this life, there are only forty-six students in the class. The missing person is as if he never existed; no one remembers his name, as if he were just a forgotten memory.

In addition, there are many more subtle differences.

In my previous life, the little river outside the East City was crystal clear, teeming with fish and shrimp. In this life, however, the river has become murky and polluted, with garbage floating on its surface, and it has lost all its former vitality.

In his previous life, when he awakened his profession, his guide was a kind and amiable fat old man. In this life, however, his guide has changed to a stern-faced middle-aged man.

These differences, when viewed individually, seem insignificant and can only be attributed to the passage of time and a lapse in memory.

But now, when these details are put together, Lin Chen feels a chill run down his spine.

No, or rather, it was precisely that sense of taking things for granted that frightened him.

How could his memories be distorted when he was a professional with a level of 400 or higher in his previous life?

He always believed that he had been reborn and returned to the past, and that God had given him a chance to make up for his regrets.

But now it seems that things may not be so simple.

He may have arrived in a parallel world that is similar to, yet completely different from, his previous life.

The mysterious person in front of them clearly knew all of this.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He stared intently into Luo Kunlun's eyes and asked, word by word, "Who exactly are you? How do you know all this?"

"What does this mean?"

"It means that your time travel, your rebirth, everything about you, has a reason."

"You believe your awakened profession is Destroyer, but based on my previous observations, the so-called profession is nothing more than a special sequence rooted in your true spirit." Luo Kunlun's voice was calm and even, but it sounded like a thunderclap to Lin Chen's ears. "And changing professions is simply altering this special sequence."

He approached slowly, his gaze falling on Lin Chen's hand gripping the sword tightly, his tone completely calm: "On another timeline, you completed your job change, acquiring the Destroyer class, and the corresponding job sequence in the True Spirit also changed."

"So, rather than saying you awakened the Destroyer, it's more accurate to say you acquired the profession and brought it back with you."

"But there's something wrong with that. You should have seen your class panel the moment you woke up three days ago. Yet you didn't actually get to the Destroyer class until the Awakening Ceremony."

"The only possibility is that your true spirit has been modified. This modification is extremely subtle, almost negligible."

"So I've come back here again to thoroughly scan and analyze your true spirit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's body stiffened abruptly, and the fingers gripping the sword turned bluish-white from the force.

Although he didn't know what the concept of a true spirit was, he was clear that it was definitely a more fundamental existence than the soul.

A profession is rooted in the True Spirit; advancements in rank and power are inextricably linked to the True Spirit. This is the very essence of a profession, a matter of life and death.

To allow a mysterious person of unknown origin to thoroughly scan and analyze one's true spirit... isn't that like handing over one's lifeline and courting death?

"I told you, I know what you're thinking." Luo Kunlun saw through his thoughts. "If I really wanted to harm you, you would have died the moment time stopped. With your strength, you wouldn't have had the right to resist."

Lin Chen's heart sank.

Indeed, given the opponent's strength, killing him would be a piece of cake.

"Besides, my conversation with you just now was merely to inform you."

"I have been thoroughly scanning your true spirit for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was instantly dumbfounded, his hand gripping the sword loosened involuntarily, and his face was full of astonishment.

So all my earlier vigilance, tension, and wariness were just wishful thinking?

From the very beginning, the other party had been silently scanning and analyzing his true spirit, without his knowledge.

This realization made Lin Chen feel powerless, and at the same time, it aroused a deeper sense of apprehension.

The person in front of me is absolutely terrifying.

What exactly is his profession, and what level is he?
