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

Deep within the void passage, streams of colorful light flashed past like a heavy storm, rushing backward at incredible speed.

Aiden stood with his hands behind his back. Faint nine-colored lightning flickered around him, destroying every Void Storm that came near—storms powerful enough to tear a Venerable apart.

Bella turned her head and looked at him. On her cold, breathtakingly beautiful face, a rare look of memory and complicated emotion appeared.

"Aiden, do you know?"

"A thousand years ago, when the Great Destruction had just ended, I was already a Greater God."

Bella’s voice was soft, but it seemed to carry the weight and sorrow of a thousand years.

Aiden turned to meet her gaze. He said nothing and only listened quietly.

"In that war, countless gods fell. Heaven and earth mourned together. Even the laws of the world were shattered."

"At the most desperate moment, I saw that man appear with my own eyes... and I also saw him leave."

"Yves."

When Aiden heard that name, his eyes narrowed slightly. Deep inside him, the 10,000x Critical Hit System gave a faint, trembling response.

"He was a madman," Bella said with a quiet sigh. "But he was also an undeniable legend."

A trace of passion and awe flashed through her eyes.

"Alone, he stood against the imperial might of the Abyss Heavenly Demon Clan. Using his own Inner Spirit as the source, he reforged the broken Golden Great Wall with his own power and kept the forces of the myriad races outside Earth."

"Before he completely disappeared and sealed himself deep within Earth’s core, he turned back and looked at me once."

Aiden raised an eyebrow. "What did he say?"

"He said, ’The key to the future does not lie in strength, but in choice.’"

Bella gave a self-mocking smile. It was so beautiful that it could shake the heart, yet it was filled with endless confusion.

"For a full thousand years, I have been trying to understand those words."

"I thought ’choice’ meant choosing which law to merge with, or choosing which path to take to become a god."

"So I trained like a madwoman. I tried to use overwhelming strength to break the seal of the Heavenly Demon Clan, but every time, I failed."

A violent tremor suddenly ran through the void passage.

Bella simply waved her hand, and the shockwave turned into countless shards of ice before fading away.

"Until I met you."

Bella stopped moving and stared at Aiden with bright, burning eyes.

Aiden also stopped.

Their eyes met in the dead silence of the void, and faint sparks of law seemed to flicker between them.

"You were only a level 95 Venerable, yet you were able to block thirty percent of my avatar’s divine power. You even carry a heaven-defying opportunity that even I cannot see through."

"At that moment, I suddenly understood."

"The ’choice’ Yves spoke of might not be some deep and mysterious law at all. It might be the choice to believe in someone."

There was a firmness in Bella’s voice that had never been there before.

The corner of Aiden’s mouth rose slightly, forming a confident smile.

"So, you chose to believe in me?"

"Yes."

Bella did not deny it.

A faint blush seemed to appear on her cold face, but it vanished in an instant.

"I have been stuck at the peak of Greater God for too long. What I lack is not divine power, nor a deeper understanding of the laws. What I lack is a chance to break fate itself."

"My instinct tells me that walking with you is my only chance to break through to the Supreme God realm."

Aiden burst into laughter.

His laughter echoed through the void, shaking the chaotic currents around them and forcing them to pull back.

"Since you trust me this much, then I’ll help you smash the chains blocking your path to Supreme God!"

Domineering.

Confident.

And yet, somehow, it made people feel completely at ease.

Bella looked at the high-spirited man before her.

Deep in her heart, a hidden string seemed to be gently touched.

But soon, she pressed that strange feeling down.

Now was not the time for love.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the front of the void passage.

The colorful passage had reached its end.

An indescribable wave of cold, dead silence rushed in like a tide.

Aiden and Bella looked at each other. Then, at the same time, they turned into streaks of light and shot out of the exit.

Before them lay an endless gray wasteland.

The sky was a heavy, dark gray. There was no sun, only a deathly mist that seemed to last forever.

Across the ground, huge unknown beast bones could be seen everywhere, each one as large as a small mountain. Some of the bones still had dried dark-gold divine blood on them.

Broken giant swords, each more than a hundred meters long, and rusted war spears were stuck at an angle in the burned black earth. They gave off a terrifying killing aura.

This was the Ancient Battlefield.

Bella slowly landed.

She looked at the hell-like scene before her, and her beautiful face gradually became extremely serious.

"The death energy and hatred here... are several times stronger than when I came last time."

"Aiden, be careful. The real danger has only just begun."

The dead wind howled like blades, cutting across the burned land.

As soon as Bella finished speaking, the gray mist around them suddenly began to twist wildly, as if it had been called by something.

"Whoosh—"

From within the mist came the faint, painful cries of countless gods and demons. The sound pierced deep into the soul.

"This is the malignant energy from the Nine Netherworlds, something unique to the Ancient Battlefield," Bella said coldly beside Aiden.

"It contains the endless hatred of fallen gods and demons."

"If a Reclasser with weak Spirit power breathes in even a little of it, they will instantly fall into endless visions of slaughter. Their body will collapse, and they will die."

Aiden’s expression remained calm.

But a cold, disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Just some death energy, and it dares to act wild in front of me?"

Before he even finished speaking, Aiden stepped forward.

"Boom!"

The nine-colored lightning inside his body surged wildly in an instant.

At that moment, the pressure of the Heavenly Punishment of Ten Thousand Thunders domain burst out in full force.

[Ding! Detected that the host has released the Law of Thunder. Triggering 10,000x critical hit!]

The system’s voice rang through his mind like a great bell.

In the next instant, the nine-colored lightning that had only covered a few meters around him expanded like mad, growing by countless times. It turned into a vast golden sea of thunder that covered the sky.

"Crackle!"

Golden lightning raged through the gray mist like wild dragons.

Everywhere it passed, the evil energy that could corrode a Venerable’s soul was wiped out before it could even scream.

Bella’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed through them.

She had planned to protect Aiden, but she had not expected his Law of Thunder to be this overwhelming.

"Since you are clearing the way, I will handle the purification."

Bella’s white dress fluttered as she raised her jade-like hand and gently pointed into the void.

"Buzz!"

A pure white light, as bright as the full moon, slowly rose behind her.

It was the purest Law of Light.

Wherever the white light shone, the remaining filth and resentment melted away like snow under the sun.

The once-dead wasteland even began to carry a faint holy feeling.

The two of them moved forward side by side at great speed.

As they went deeper, the gray mist began to clear completely.

But the scene before them made even Aiden’s expression change slightly.

It was a skeleton so huge it was almost impossible to imagine.

It lay quietly across the burned black ground.

Its bones stretched for several miles, like a huge mountain range rising and falling across the wasteland.

Even though it had been dead for thousands of years, its white bones still gave off a suffocating divine pressure.

"This is the remains of an ancient titan beast at the level of a lesser god," Bella said, looking at the huge skeleton. Her voice carried a complicated feeling.

Aiden walked up to one of the massive finger bones.

With his sharp senses, he noticed that deep inside the bone, there still seemed to be a very weak trace of law power.

"Force of Laws?"

Aiden raised an eyebrow and placed his hand on the white bone.

For an ordinary Reclasser, it would be impossible to extract a law this broken, weakened, and worn down over ten thousand years.

But Aiden was no ordinary person.

"Come out!"

Aiden shouted in a low voice, and the Strength inside his body surged wildly.

[Ding! Detected that the host is extracting "remaining Earth Law." Triggering 10,000x critical hit!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained one complete "Earth Law Fragment"!]

"Boom!"

A ball of earth-yellow light instantly gathered in Aiden’s palm, giving off a heavy and powerful pressure of law.

Beside him, Bella’s eyes almost popped out.

"This... how is this possible?!"

At that moment, the former Greater God completely lost her calm.

"The laws inside ancient remains should have already faded away. How can you rebuild a complete law fragment out of almost nothing?!"

Aiden casually put away the Earth Law Fragment and grinned at Bella.

"Stick with me, and miracles will become normal."

At that moment, Aiden’s presence was overwhelming.

The two of them rushed all the way toward the deepest part of the core area.

Along the way, whenever they found the remains of a god, Aiden used his 10,000x critical hit without holding back.

[Ding! 10,000x critical hit triggered. Obtained one "Flame Law Fragment"!]

[Ding! 10,000x critical hit triggered. Obtained one "Wind Law Fragment"!]

With the unbelievable power of the 10,000x critical hit, Aiden’s understanding of the laws was rising at a terrifying speed.

Even the strength of his soul was quietly growing without him noticing.

Bella watched from the side until she became numb to it.

She finally understood why Yves had called Aiden "the key to the future."

However, the great opportunities in the core area of the Ancient Battlefield naturally came with extreme danger.

"Roar—!!"

A violent roar suddenly exploded across the wasteland.

The burned black ground split open, and a huge white bone claw, over a hundred meters long, burst out from beneath it.

Then, an undead general climbed out.

It wore broken heavy armor, and ghostly green soul fire burned inside its eye sockets.

In its hand was a bone spear several dozen meters long.

Its whole body gave off a brutal and savage aura.

"Level 85. An undead general."

Bella’s phoenix-like eyes turned cold. She was about to move, but Aiden raised his hand and stopped her.

"There’s no need for you to deal with something like this."

Aiden smiled slightly. He raised his right hand, pressing two fingers together like a sword, and pointed at the undead general through the air.

"Nine Heavens Divine Wrath, turn into holy thunder!"

"Fall!"
