I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Zhang Chenglin paused, then gradually composed himself and spoke calmly.

"tenth."

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched, and he instantly realized the other meaning behind Zhang Chenglin's words.

A strong person like him can rank ninth in Ta Country, but only tenth in Dragon Country, which means there are nine people stronger than him in Dragon Country.

So this is the source of China's confidence?

That's why Tajikistan has so many divine lineages, yet it has never dared to break ties with China.

If it weren't for the discovery of a large amount of Dragon Kingdom heritage and the killing of so many members of the Rogers family, the Ta Kingdom probably wouldn't have resorted to such desperate measures as joining forces with the other nine countries to launch a national war.

but……

Lu Yun's mind stirred, and he looked at Zhang Chenglin and spoke.

"The Ten Guardian Gods?"

"Yes, those are the Ten Guardian Gods, and I'm ranked tenth."

Zhang Chenglin smiled and laughed in a very carefree manner.

"Are you wondering why I, the first person to possess divine inheritance and unlock a domain, and a hidden profession at that, couldn't defeat those nine old guys, right?"

This was indeed what puzzled Lu Yun.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there are only two people who possess the divine inheritance: Zhang Chenglin and Qi Huanyu.

There are three areas, including Ye Hongyi.

If you were to say something else, Lu Yun would certainly not be suspicious.

But when it comes to inheritance and field expertise, that's his specialty.

Whether or not a professional possesses a lineage and a domain has an absolute influence on their ability to be judged.

Once he unlocks his domain, he can easily control ten versions of himself that cannot.

This kind of strength boost is far beyond what weapons, equipment, or buffs can compare to; they are completely different concepts.

But now, Zhang Chenglin is saying that he, who possesses inheritance and domain, is actually inferior to those nine people who do not. How could he not be surprised?

Seeing Lu Yun finish his contemplation and look at him again, Zhang Chenglin smiled helplessly.

"There are many factors involved, but the most crucial and important one is because..."

Zhang Chenglin pursed his lips and sighed.

"Except for me, they are all SSS-level god-tier professions."

This was the first time Lu Yun had ever heard such a secret. His expression hardened, and he asked very seriously.

"SSS God-level?"

Hearing Lu Yun ask this question, Zhang Chenglin was not surprised. He put his hands behind his back and leisurely looked Lu Yun over again.

"You must be a god-level professional."

Upon hearing this, Qi Huanyu and Zhang Chengmu looked at Lu Yun in astonishment.

Based on Lu Yun's past performance, they guessed that Lu Yun's profession must have been a hidden profession due to some kind of adventure, but they never thought that Lu Yun would have a god-level profession.

Hidden classes aren't necessarily the strongest, but god-tier classes definitely are.

The nine guardian deities of the Dragon Kingdom demonstrate that this level of rarity cannot be measured by reason alone.

But after thinking about it carefully, they felt it made sense, after all... the damage Lu Yun had shown was indeed a bit too outrageous.

Lu Yun remained expressionless and calm. He could keep this a secret from Qi Huanyu, but he could never hide it from a top expert like Zhang Chenglin, so he readily admitted it.

"Yes, my profession is a bit special. I've been getting promoted because of some things, and now I'm at the god level."

"Hmm...it's related to my heritage."

"Just as I thought."

Zhang Chenglin nodded approvingly, then laughed heartily.

"Great, that's good. You'll probably be better than me soon, kid."

Speaking of this, Lu Yun had always had a question in his mind.

"Elder Zhang, in your system of power ranking, what exactly constitutes 'powerful'?"

"I'm currently around level 1300, but I've noticed that the highest level I've seen isn't above 1500. Is there a threshold of level 1500? Or is there a tenth reincarnation beyond the ninth reincarnation?"

"No ten revolutions."

Zhang Chenglin seemed to have guessed that Lu Yun would ask this question.

"In the situation you described, there are three possible outcomes."

"First, level 1500 is the maximum level; you can no longer gain experience after that."

"Secondly, reaching level 1500 is extremely difficult. Some people need to do quests, some need other things, but some people can reach level 1500 without any obstacles. This varies from person to person. We currently speculate that it may be related to inheritance."

"Third, some people can't level up after reaching level 1500, but others can continue to level up. At least... there is no upper limit at present."

"But there is absolutely no one who has reached the tenth level of advancement, or rather, no one has reached the tenth level of advancement yet."

Lu Yun suddenly realized that there were so many strange things.

This is something you can't learn from books. If Zhang Chenglin hadn't told him, he probably would never have known it in his entire life.

Because he himself was unsure which category he belonged to.

"As for what you mean by classifying strength..."

Zhang Chenglin paused.

"Inheritance, domain, professional characteristics, skills, weapons, and equipment are all related, but not absolutely."

"But one thing is absolute, and that is the path, or more precisely, the path to promotion."

way?

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched as he suddenly remembered the divine pathway he had activated.

He originally thought that this divine path was simply a forbidden god's path or something like that.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Is it a broad category or something unique?

Zhang Chenglin was taken aback, not expecting him to ask such a question. After regaining his senses, he stared at Lu Yun meaningfully for a long time.

"The only one, you can understand it as the pinnacle of promotion."

"No one has reached the top yet, but based on the information we have so far, it seems more like a career advancement."

"Hmm... It's not the same concept as the first or second job advancement you understand. It's more like the path to godhood."

"The path to godhood?"

Seeing Lu Yun's stunned expression, Zhang Chenglin smiled.

"You think the word 'God' is vague and ethereal? But I can tell you definitively that God really exists, not because of any divine lineage, but because God truly exists."

"This matter is a bit complicated, and I need you to have a certain level of understanding to explain it clearly to me. For now, just have this concept, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it."

Lu Yun nodded, indicating his agreement.

Indeed, what Zhang Chenglin told him was too fantastical; he never imagined the outside world had developed to this extent.

No wonder those above don't care about what happens below; they're completely different worlds.

"I can't explain this to you, but there's something I can explain to you."

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at Zhang Chenglin.

"Inheritance and domain are not invincible. Me and those nine old guys are the most real examples. Of course, if you advance your domain to the 9-star god level, that's a different story."

"However, from beginning to end, even Taro Rogers, who possesses the strongest domain, only advanced his domain to 7 stars, so you must keep this in mind."

"You are currently in the 3-star God-level realm. Hurry up and advance; you might become the first person in our Dragon Kingdom to reach the 9-star realm."

Lu Yun was taken aback and subconsciously spoke.

"Get promoted quickly? Can you even get that done quickly?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute?"

Lu Yun's expression changed as he suddenly realized the meaning behind Zhang Chenglin's words.

"Can advancement in a field be achieved through external forces?"
