The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Night had fallen over Luoyun City, and the magical lights of the elves illuminated the entire city like a glowing dream.

On the streets, groups of three or five Sheikh soldiers patrolled by, occasionally punctuated by bursts of laughter and curses.

Gu Xu walked out of the teahouse and onto the main road of Luoyun City's inner city. The night breeze brushed past his ears, bringing a slight chill.

With his hands in his pockets and a relaxed gait, he looked like an ordinary young man taking a walk after dinner.

When the Sheikh soldiers along the way saw him, they all straightened their backs and saluted.

Gu Xu nodded in response, continuing on his way.

Before long, the temple for job advancement, which had been designated as the core area of ​​the rest area, came into his view.

Unlike the angular and magnificent temples of class change in the Sheikha region, the Elven temple is more like a living giant tree.

The tree canopy blocked out the sun, emitting a soft green fluorescent glow.

A semi-circular door opened on the tree trunk, with tadpole-like elf characters carved on the lintel, gleaming with a pale golden light in the night.

Two rows of Sherlock Holmes sentries stood at the entrance, and when they saw Gu Xu approaching, they all saluted in unison.

"Greetings, Commander!"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Gu Xu patted the two soldiers on the shoulders and stepped into the temple gate.

Inside the door was a corridor covered with glowing moss, at the end of which a shimmering crystal floated in the air.

Gu Xu walked to the floating crystal and stood still.

To be honest, this is the fifth time he has done this.

I've practically memorized the process: walk up to it, reach out, stick your hand on it, wait for it to malfunction, check the task, and you're done.

It's similar to taking a number and queuing at the bank.

"I wonder what kind of trouble they're up to this time."

He muttered something to himself and slapped his right hand onto the crystal.

The movements were swift and decisive, but the attitude was perfunctory.

The moment they made contact, the soft green glow on the crystal ball was completely swallowed up.

Immediately afterwards, an intensely dark purple-black light surged out from inside the crystal, as if something inside was struggling to break free.

The temperature in the entire temple plummeted.

The glowing moss covering the walls went out, and all the greenery in the corridor vanished.

Darkness surged in from all directions, crushing the elven tree-shaped temple into a deep well.

The whispers started again.

That buzzing, a mixture of countless tones, like a group chanting simultaneously, poured down from above, drilled up from the soles of the feet, and seeped out from every crack in the walls.

The Elven and Divine Sherman scripts flashed alternately on the panel several times, as if two systems were translating and confirming each other.

After about ten seconds, the handwriting finally stabilized.

[Detected professional: Gu Xu]

[Class: Calamity, Lord of the Old Ones, Dominator of the Old Ones (Unique/Conceptual Level)]

[Level: 55 (Bottleneck Status)]

[Generating fifth job advancement quests based on job characteristics, potential assessment, and past performance...]

However, this time, the task loading did not take as long as usual.

Before long, the blood-red characters on the panel appeared.

But this time, the red was even deeper than the one seen during the fourth transformation, so deep that it was tinged with purple, and so purple that it was tinged with black.

Each word seemed to have been forcibly pulled up from some abyss far beyond human comprehension.

Moreover, the format of the task description has changed this time.

It's no longer the kind of rigid, categorized task templates, but rather carries a sense of... declaration.

[Fifth Job Advancement Quest Completed!]

【Mission Name: The Ancient Reign (God-level)】

[Mission Description: The ancient monarchs have awakened from their slumber, and the light of their authority has once again illuminated the beacons of the stars. But those usurpers who betrayed the ancient divine court have already sensed your presence. They will not stand idly by while a true ancient ruler ascends the throne—they are gathering their armies, intending to stifle your rise. The universe has forgotten the ancient powers for far too long. It is time to remind them once more.]

【Mission Objective 1: Defeat Elonnis, the High Priest of the Dimensional Familiar of the Emerald Court. (0/1)】

[Mission Objective 2: Defeat the Devouring God Clan army advancing towards the Starfall Rift and devour the Devouring God Clan's agent—Munedimi. (0/1)]

[Mission Objective 3: Seize the authority of Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions. (0/1)]

[Special restrictions: None.]

[Task Time Limit: None.]

However, if Gu Xu's expression was quite relaxed before the scene appeared.

But this time, the ease on his face vanished in the blink of an eye.

After all, the amount of information revealed in this mission is quite substantial.

And the most crucial issue among these is...

Does nature lie in the four words "Devouring God Clan"?

This name was not unfamiliar to Gu Xu; in fact, he knew it quite well!

After all, the Northern Alliance went from being one of the major professional nations in the plane to being completely wiped out because it was invaded by the Dimensional Devourer's dragon clan.

During that invasion war, he had already fought against those false god's followers and killed all the invaders.

Even later, he successfully defeated the clone of Munedimi and the projection of Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions.

However, to Gu Xu's surprise, the elves were also a kin of the Devouring Dimensions race.

Damn it, when did these long-eared things get involved with those false gods of the Devouring Dimensions Clan?

Gu Xu knew in his heart that once he appeared in the sight of those old false gods, they wouldn't give him much time.

However, the speed was still far beyond his expectations.

Even before the Blue Star Alliance has been established, these false gods have already sensed its presence!

"Hold."

Thinking of this, Gu Xu couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

He wasn't complaining about how difficult the task was.

On the contrary, the fifth job advancement quest had no time limit or special restrictions, making it the least restrictive of all his job advancement quests.

He was criticizing the situation; the army of the Devouring Gods was marching towards the Starfall Rift.

He also learned from the Starfall Rift that the star field where their plane was located was controlled by the Ashmerkton, a branch of the Star Council!

If the regular army of the Devouring Gods were to attack from the depths of space, the situation would be entirely different.

The previous battles with the elves were like interdimensional training exercises, where the stronger bullied the weaker.

But the Devouring Dimension Clan?

That is an existence that can confront the "Old Gods" head-on, especially Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Ones, who is an opponent that he needs to "seize power from".

In other words, this is a leap from the difficulty level of a plane to the difficulty level of a star field or even the universe.

They're not even in the same league.
