Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!

Bella looked deeply at Aiden, her eyes full of hope.

"You are the one I have chosen."

Aiden met Bella’s gaze. He did not give any passionate promise. He remained completely calm.

"Lord Bella, why do you think a level 50 Magic Apprentice like me can take on such a heavy duty?"

Bella smiled faintly. In that smile, there was determination for the future, and also the memory of an old friend.

"Because you have created miracles. And also because of... Yves."

Bella’s body slowly began to turn faint and unreal, breaking into tiny points of starlight. It was a sign that the energy of her avatar was about to run out.

"Back then, Yves chose to believe in humanity, and paid for it with his life."

"And this time, I choose to believe in you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bella’s avatar completely disappeared between heaven and earth, leaving behind only a faint trace of cold, gentle light.

Aiden stood at the edge of the Tower of Laws, letting the wild wind mess up his hair. His eyes were frighteningly deep.

"Yves... who exactly are you? And what connection do you have to my 10,000x Critical Hit System?"

Aiden clenched his fists tightly, and a great storm rose in his heart.

But he quickly pushed down all his thoughts, because below Celestial Imperial City, countless powerful auras were gathering toward this place.

The threat of the Abyss, the awakening of the Heavenly Demon, Kelsey’s strange illness, and this newly risen independent city...

None of it allowed him even the slightest moment of carelessness.

"Strength. I need greater strength!"

Aiden suddenly turned his head and looked toward the Transmutation Altar inside Celestial Imperial City, which was shining with endless divine light.

At the top of the Tower of Laws, everything was silent.

Only the wild wind continued to roar.

Aiden sat cross-legged in the center of the Transmutation Altar. Countless streams of the finest essence of the universe circled and roared around him like great dragons.

"System, activate 10,000x Critical Hit. Fuse all Inner Spirit fragments!"

Aiden shouted in his mind, his eyes cold and sharp like a blade.

[Ding! The 10,000x Critical Hit System has been activated. Detected: Inner Spirit Fragments x100. Critical multiplier: 10,000x!]

Boom!

An indescribably terrifying wave of soul energy exploded inside Aiden’s mind.

It was a vast power strong enough to burst the soul of an ordinary level 99 Great Venerable.

But under the pressure of the Transmutation Altar and the cleansing force of the 10,000x Critical Hit, this power turned into the purest nourishment.

Buzz—

The Transmutation Altar shook violently and released a misty green light, completely swallowing Aiden’s figure.

In the eyes of others, Aiden might still be only a level 50 Magic Apprentice.

But only he knew the truth. After the bloody battle in the Abyss and after using every trump card he had, his real level had already reached level 92!

Now, he was going to break through the great gap between mortals and Venerables in one move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The experience bar inside Aiden surged like a broken dam, rising wildly as it let out a roar like a tsunami.

Level 93!

Level 94!

Rising together with his level was the strength of his soul. With the boost of the 10,000x Critical Hit, his soul became almost solid, giving off a faint divine glow.

In the void, countless lines of law that were usually far above others now became clearly visible in Aiden’s eyes.

The first was the Law of Space.

Buzz!

The space around Aiden began to ripple like water. Then it shattered piece by piece, before instantly forming again.

He had gained a basic understanding of the Law of Space!

Next came the violent Law of Thunder.

Blinding lightning moved across Aiden’s body, as if countless thunder dragons were biting and roaring around him.

The Law of Slaughter, the Law of Fire... With the help of the 10,000x Critical Hit, his understanding of these laws also improved at a terrifying speed!

On the third day of his secluded training, the sky above Celestial Imperial City suddenly turned completely dark without warning.

Endless black clouds pressed down on the city. Deep within them, purple-gold lightning rolled like giant snakes in a sea of clouds, giving off an aura of destruction.

"Is this... a Venerable Tribulation? No, isn’t the City Lord only level 50?!"

In the outer city, countless independent cultivators and powerful family members looked up in horror, their eyes filled with fear.

Law Enforcer Luke suddenly opened his eyes and stared hard in the direction of the Tower of Laws.

"This pressure... is a hundred times stronger than an ordinary Venerable!"

Boom!

A thick bolt of purple-gold lightning, carrying the power to tear apart the void, struck fiercely toward the Tower of Laws.

Aiden’s long hair whipped wildly in the wind. Instead of retreating, he moved forward. He stepped out of the Tower of Laws and faced the heavenly lightning head-on.

"Break!"

Aiden threw out a punch.

At that moment, the Law of Space and the Law of Thunder perfectly merged together.

The void collapsed in an instant, turning into a huge black hole that swallowed and crushed the heavenly lightning!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your level has risen to level 95. You have officially advanced to Venerable!]

[Ding! Because the Host has fused the Law of Thunder and the Law of Space, you have awakened a unique personal Venerable Domain: Heavenly Punishment of Ten Thousand Thunders!]

Rumble!

With Aiden at the center, the void within ten thousand meters instantly turned into a hell of thunder and twisted space.

Countless bolts of lightning jumped through the distorted space. Any living being that stepped inside would be torn apart by space and struck by thousands of thunderbolts at the same time.

"So this is the Strength of a Venerable..."

Aiden clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power inside him, a power strong enough to move mountains and overturn seas. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Now, as long as the gods of Earth did not appear, he was absolutely invincible.

In fact, with the 10,000x Critical Hit System and his domain, Heavenly Punishment of Ten Thousand Thunders, he was fully confident that he could fight a real lesser god head-on!

The thunderclouds scattered, and golden sunlight once again shone over Celestial Imperial City.

Aiden walked down from the void step by step. With each step he took, faint ripples of space spread under his feet.

The pressure around him had already been withdrawn, but that noble, godlike aura still made every living being in the city want to bow down and worship him.

"Welcome back, City Lord!"

Victor, Jade, Nellie, and the other geniuses all dropped to one knee. Their eyes were filled with passion and deep respect.

"Aiden!"

A fiery red figure rushed over with a sweet scent, throwing all caution aside.

It was Cheryl.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she threw herself straight into Aiden’s arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and spun around with him in excitement.

"I knew you were the strongest!"

Cheryl’s pretty face turned slightly red as she spoke in a sweet, playful tone. All her earlier worry had now turned into joy.

Aiden smiled faintly and gently patted the back of her head. The coldness in his eyes softened into warmth.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Aiden held Cheryl’s hand and turned to look into the distant void.

His gaze passed through layers of clouds and mist, landing in the direction of the Great Shaw Empire, and then even farther away, toward the mysterious Ancient Battlefield.

Bella’s words still echoed in his ears. The seal of the Heavenly Demon had already begun to crack, and Earth’s disaster could arrive at any moment.

But now, Aiden had enough Strength to overturn the entire game.

"Pass down my Supreme God order."

Aiden stood with his hands behind his back. His voice was calm, yet it spread across all of Celestial Imperial City, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Three days from now, Celestial Imperial City will officially become its own nation. We will break away from the Great Shaw Empire and rule our own land!"

"After the founding of our nation, you will follow me to battle in the Ancient Battlefield!"

He was going to take back the Golden Great Wall core that had been lost in the Ancient Battlefield!

...

Three days later.

Celestial Imperial City, the miracle city floating ten thousand meters in the sky, welcomed its most glorious moment.

Golden sunlight passed through layers of clouds and fell on the outer city square, which was as pure and white as jade. The light reflected off the ground, creating a dreamlike glow.

The Divine Light of Heavenly Dominion shield turned into an almost transparent rainbow curtain, covering the entire city. It gave off a terrifying pressure that even a Greater God could not easily shake.

Today, this place would witness the birth of a new era.

"The appointed hour has arrived!"

Law Enforcer Luke wore a long black robe of law and order. His voice was like rolling thunder, spreading to every corner of the city in an instant.

Boom!

With a loud crash, a dark yellow beam of light shot out from the top of the Tower of Laws. It pierced straight into the sky and tore apart the sea of clouds for tens of thousands of miles.

Aiden wore a pure white robe, untouched by dust, and walked down from the Tower of Laws step by step through the air.

With every step he took, the Law of Space gathered beneath his feet, forming an almost solid lotus of the void.

The terrifying pressure of a level 95 Venerable belonged to him. Although he did his best to hold it back, even the faintest trace that leaked out made the void collapse and reform again and again.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Victor, Jade, Nellie, and the other top geniuses all dropped to one knee, their faces filled with passion and devotion.

Behind them were more than five thousand powerful figures from different countries on Earth, elite members of a hidden family, and countless independent cultivators who had come after hearing Aiden’s name.

The huge crowd knelt like a black tide, and their cheers shook the heavens.

"From this day on, Celestial Imperial City officially becomes a nation of its own. We will not bow to gods. We will only follow iron law!"

Aiden looked down at the countless people below him. His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable power. In an instant, it spread across the entire Earth.

At this moment, the Caeloria Kingdom was founded!

"The special envoy of the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire has arrived!"

A loud voice broke the brief silence.

A thousand-meter-long Golden Dragon of National Destiny appeared in the void. It pulled a dragon carriage, slowly descending from the sky. The carriage was built from countless rare treasures.

This was the national gift from the Great Shaw Empire. Every item on it was a priceless Epic Rank treasure.

The envoy of the Great Shaw Empire respectfully handed over a handwritten letter. A faint, sweet fragrance came from it.

Aiden raised his hand and took the letter. He opened the envelope and saw only four words written inside.

The handwriting was bold and graceful, yet filled with endless warmth and pride:

"You did it."

The corners of Aiden’s mouth lifted slightly. He put the letter away, and a touch of warmth passed through his heart.
