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

At that moment, the entire Golden Great Wall shook violently.

Countless ancient runes peeled away from the wall and gathered in the void, finally forming a golden seal carved with a dragon pattern.

"This is part of the Golden Great Wall’s defensive authority. At a critical moment, you can borrow the Great Wall’s Force of Laws!"

Zoey pushed out with her small hand.

The golden seal instantly turned into a streak of light and sank straight into Aiden’s chest.

Boom!

Aiden felt a vast ancient law, as endless as the sea, explode inside his body.

It resonated with the Transmutation Altar within him and released a terrifying pressure that seemed powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.

"Wait for me."

Aiden looked at Zoey, his voice firm, like a rock that would not change even after thousands of years.

"I will bring back the core and fully repair the Great Wall."

Hearing this, Zoey’s eyes turned red.

Tears welled up in them, but she bit her teeth hard and refused to let them fall.

"Mm! I’ll wait for you to come back!"

Zoey nodded heavily.

Her golden figure slowly faded and merged into the ancient wall.

Aiden looked away and turned toward the Sovereign City of the Great Shaw Empire.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Let’s go. Before we leave, there are still some pests to deal with and a few things to settle."

...

Half a day later, in Celestial Imperial City.

This floating city, rebuilt by the Demi-Sacred Artifact, the Transmutation Altar, was releasing a faint aura of the finest essence of the universe.

It stood proudly ten thousand meters in the sky, like a divine miracle.

Aiden sat at the head of the main hall in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Below him, his subordinates entered one after another, all with serious expressions.

"Luke, while I’m gone, you will be fully in charge of Celestial Imperial City’s defenses."

"If anything unusual happens, act first and report later!"

Aiden’s voice echoed through the hall, carrying the unquestionable authority of an emperor.

"Yes, City Lord!"

Luke bowed and accepted the order. His whole body gave off the iron-blooded killing aura unique to a "Tyrant Cleric."

"James, Atlas, I’ll leave the safety of the Great Shaw Empire to the two of you."

Aiden looked at the two pillars of the Great Shaw Empire, his tone serious.

"Don’t worry. As long as we are here, the Great Shaw Empire will stand firm."

James rested his hand on the sword at his waist and answered in a deep voice.

Aiden nodded slightly, then got up and walked toward the inner hall.

There, Kelsey was lying quietly on an ice-crystal jade bed. The Wraithshard Strength of the supreme Miko moved faintly inside her body, twisting the space around her.

"Kelsey’s strange illness is connected to the call from Earth’s core. It must be suppressed with a sub-seal of the Transmutation Altar."

Aiden pointed with one hand.

A ray of universe light turned into a small stone seal and floated above Kelsey’s forehead.

It released a gentle but heavy wave of law, forcefully suppressing the restless power inside her.

After doing all this, Aiden took a deep breath and strode out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

On the square of Celestial Imperial City, strong winds howled.

A stunning figure in a golden dragon robe was already standing quietly in the wind, her sleeves fluttering.

It was the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire, Eira.

She looked at the man before her, the man who was about to leave on a great expedition. Her beautiful eyes were filled with complicated feelings and deep worry.

"Do you really have to go?"

Eira asked softly.

Her voice no longer carried her usual majesty. All that remained was a woman’s gentleness and reluctance.

Aiden walked up to her and gently stroked her slightly cold cheek.

"This is my destiny, and also the future of Earth."

Eira’s delicate body trembled.

Then she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Aiden tightly.

"I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you to come back."

She whispered beside Aiden’s ear.

In the void, the Golden Dragon of National Destiny let out a low, gentle roar, as if seeing off the hero of the Great Shaw Empire.

Aiden patted her back, then turned away with firm resolve.

In the void, Bella had already been waiting for some time. Her cold long sword hummed softly in the wind.

"Let’s go."

Aiden took one step forward.

Ninefold Chromatic Thunder shot into the sky and instantly tore open the space before him.

Two streaks of light vanished at the edge of the sky with an unstoppable force.

Their target-the Ancient Battlefield!

...

Space twisted.

The thunder faded.

Before truly crossing the boundary, Aiden and Bella landed at the secret preparation dock of Celestial Imperial City.

A great battle was coming.

The entire floating city was giving off a deep rumble, like an ancient beast about to wake up.

Aiden sat in the meeting hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

His eyes were sharp like lightning as he looked over the people below.

"Cheryl, I’ll leave Kelsey’s safety to you. Use the sub-seal of the Transmutation Altar together with your Miko power. You must not let that Strength turn back on her."

Aiden looked at Cheryl. His voice was gentle, but it carried a power that allowed no refusal.

Cheryl, dressed in battle Miko clothes, gripped her staff tightly and nodded through gritted teeth.

"Don’t worry. As long as I’m still breathing, no one will touch a single hair on Kelsey’s head."

Aiden nodded slightly, then looked at the Tyrant Cleric beside her.

"Luke, the city’s defenses are in your hands. If anything unusual happens, kill without mercy."

"Don’t worry, City Lord. My holy light only sends the dead to their rest."

Luke grinned, his whole body filled with killing intent.

"Victor, you will be fully in charge of training the newly recruited army. I want them to become an iron-blooded force that can tear through the Abyss in the shortest time possible."

"Yes!"

Victor cupped his fists and accepted the order. His voice was deep and powerful, like a great bell.

"Jade, open your Divine Eyes. Watch all intelligence from the Great Shaw Empire and the Abyss. If there is even the slightest movement, report it at once."

Jade closed her eyes slightly, and a faint divine light shone from them.

"Understood. Celestial Imperial City’s intelligence network won’t miss even a fly."

After giving all the orders, Aiden turned and walked to the center of the hall.

He looked at the Transmutation Altar, which was releasing the finest essence of the universe.

The Ancient Battlefield was extremely dangerous. One careless move could mean death.

If he took this nation-protecting Demi-Sacred Artifact with him and lost it, the foundation of Celestial Imperial City would be destroyed.

So Aiden decided to leave the Transmutation Altar in Celestial Imperial City.

"Brock, I’ll leave the Transmutation Altar to you. Work with the rare materials sent by the Great Shaw Empire and produce law equipment in large numbers."

Brock, the Red Dwarves Forge Master hiding behind a pillar, jumped out.

His beard shook with excitement.

"Haha! With this Demi-Sacred Artifact, I can arm every soldier in Celestial Imperial City to the teeth!"

As for Aiden himself, he would only take his most important trump cards.

The 10,000x critical hit system, the Key of Destiny, the defensive authority of the Golden Great Wall, and the large number of law fragments and Inner Spirit fragments he had saved.

These were his true capital for becoming a god and sweeping across the Ancient Battlefield.

"Aiden, wait!"

Brock suddenly called out to him.

He held up a deep blue inner armor with both hands. It shone with flowing light.

Faint lightning flashed across the armor, and the sound of a dragon’s roar could be heard from within.

It had been made from the hide of a level 90-plus Venerable-grade magical beast and enchanted with the Law of Thunder.

"I worked all night to finish this ’Thunder Godguard Armor.’ It’s top-grade Venerable equipment. It can block three full-power attacks from anyone below the Greater God level!"

Brock let out a tired breath.

His eyes were bloodshot, showing that he had poured all his effort into it.

Aiden took the inner armor.

It felt cold in his hands.

The Law of Thunder within it instantly resonated with the "Heavenly Punishment of Ten Thousand Thunders" domain inside his body.

"Thanks, brother."

Aiden patted Brock on the shoulder.

At that moment, two beautiful figures walked in from outside the hall.

Nellie, the genius of the hidden Wycliffe Family, stepped forward and handed over a fine rosewood box.

"Inside are ten scrolls of ’Holy Light Protection’ and ’Spatial Exile.’ They were all made by the elders of my family. They can save your life at a critical moment."

Nellie’s face turned slightly red. Her eyes flickered as she spoke in a low voice.

Aiden did not refuse. He accepted the box at once.

"Thank you. I’ll remember this favor."

On the other side, Jenna from the hidden Dawes Family stood with her eyes closed. Faint waves of the earth-yellow Law of Earth moved around her.

A moment later, she opened her eyes. Her face was a little pale.

"Aiden, I just used ’Ksitigarbha Perception’ to look toward the Ancient Battlefield."

"The malice there is so thick it almost feels like it’s overflowing. Especially in the west and north. There are extremely terrifying Demon Gods hiding there. You must be careful."

Jenna handed him a map formed from spiritual power. It showed the spread of malice across the area.

Aiden took the map and swept over it with his spiritual power. He firmly memorized all the areas marked as extremely dangerous.

"This is very useful information. Thank you."

Everything was ready.

At the void dock of Celestial Imperial City, fierce winds roared and tore through the sea of clouds.

Bella had already been standing quietly in the void. She looked like a sculpture carved from ice-cold, proud, and untouched by the world.

At the edge of the dock, a golden figure stood in the wind. She looked a little fragile, yet incredibly noble.

It was Eira, the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire.

She looked at the man before her, the man who was about to go on a faraway campaign. Her beautiful eyes were filled with mixed feelings and deep worry.

She did not even care about the eyes of the people around them. She stepped forward and gently held the corner of Aiden’s clothes.

"You must come back safely."

She whispered in a low voice.

There was none of her usual authority as Empress in her voice. Only the tenderness and trembling of a woman remained.

Aiden looked at her, and the softest part of his heart was touched.

He turned his hand and held hers tightly.

Her hand was warm and delicate, yet it carried the national destiny of the Great Shaw Empire.

"I will."

His voice was low and firm, like an oath, ringing out through the roaring wind.

Eira smiled.

In that moment, her beauty made even the wind and snow around the entire Floating City seem dull.

Boom!

Ninefold Chromatic Thunder shot into the sky.

Aiden turned away without hesitation. Side by side with Bella, he turned into a streak of light and rushed straight into the void passage leading to the Ancient Battlefield.

Inside the void passage, colorful streams of light flashed past at great speed.

All around them was a deathly silence.

Bella turned her head and glanced at Aiden. Her cold voice echoed in the void.

"The Empress of the Great Shaw Empire seems deeply in love with you. But the Ancient Battlefield is not a place for romance."

Aiden remained calm.

"Love won’t stop me from killing enemies."

Bella fell silent for a moment. Then she slowly said,

"You should prepare yourself for this trip. The Ancient Battlefield was the main battlefield of the ’Great Destruction’ back then."

"Great Destruction?"

Aiden frowned slightly. This was the first time he had heard the term.

"That’s right."

A complicated look flashed in Bella’s eyes.

"A thousand years ago, Earth merged with the game. Everyone thought it was a miracle, a chance for humanity to rise."

"But in truth, it was only the aftershock of the ’Great Destruction,’ a disaster that affected countless dimensions."

"The Abyss is nothing more than a wasteland rejected by the Great Destruction. And Earth was the only original source back then."

Aiden’s heart shook.

Zoey had once said that Earth was the central node of the universe. Now Bella’s words confirmed it.

"What about you?"

Aiden asked the question that had been on his mind.

"You are a god. Why have you never been able to break through to the Supreme God level?"

With Bella’s talent and resources, she should not have been stuck at this step.

Bella gave a self-mocking smile.

The ice-blue sword at her waist let out a faint cry, as if it was mourning.

"Because the laws of this world are incomplete."

"To be exact, the path to becoming a Supreme God was completely sealed long ago by the Heavenly Demon Clan with some kind of supreme Sacred Artifact."

"If you want to become a Supreme God, you must break that chain. And the source of that chain... is in the deepest part of the Ancient Battlefield."

Bella’s voice echoed through the void, filled with endless coldness and killing intent.

A sharp light flashed in Aiden’s eyes.

At that moment, the "10,000x critical hit system" inside him seemed to sense something and trembled slightly.

The truth of the Great Destruction.

The chain blocking the path to Supreme God.

And the plot of the Heavenly Demon Clan...

This journey to the Ancient Battlefield was destined to stir up a storm that would shake the world.
