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

Cold. Cruel. Filled with an absolute dominance that treated all living things like ants.

The awakening of the Heavenly Demon Clan meant that the "Great Destruction" recorded in Legendary was about to descend once again.

During the last Great Destruction, Yves, the strongest human of his time, had reached the incredible realm of "Divine Emperor." Even so, he had to give everything he had just to barely force back the Heavenly Demon and protect Earth.

But now, although Aiden was shockingly talented, he was still only a "lesser god" who had just survived his heavenly tribulation.

Compared with the supreme Divine Emperor and the Demon Emperor, a lesser god was like a firefly before the bright moon.

However, Aiden was not alone.

He had the heaven-defying "10,000x Critical Hit System." He had the supreme inheritance left behind by Yves. And more than that, he had a group of comrades who were willing to fight beside him until the very end.

At this moment, the final crisis officially began.

At the same time, inside the palace of the Great Shaw Empire, deep within the inner chambers...

Princess Kelsey, who had been lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, suddenly trembled slightly.

Buzz!

The black resentment that had been tangled inside her body for countless days and nights, something even the supreme Miko Wraithshard could do nothing about, instantly melted away like snow under the golden divine light.

"Kelsey!"

Empress Eira pushed the door open at once and rushed in, her eyes filled with worry and hope.

Kelsey slowly opened her eyes.

Her once empty eyes had now become as dark as the Abyss. As they opened and closed, faint visions of stars being born and destroyed seemed to flicker within them.

Her strange illness had completely disappeared.

But in its place, there was now an older and deeper call coming from the very core of Earth.

It had never been an illness at all.

It was the will of this planet making its choice.

"Mom..."

Kelsey’s voice sounded hollow and strange, as if countless ancient voices were speaking through her at the same time.

"It... is calling me."

The choice had already begun.

Above Celestial Imperial City, the celebration had reached its peak.

Divine light filled the sky, but Aiden suddenly frowned.

He slowly turned his head. His bright, star-like divine eyes seemed to see through endless space and look straight into the deepest part of the Abyss.

On the system panel, the numbers showing his understanding of the laws were jumping wildly.

It was an instinctive warning of an unknown danger.

A terrifying pressure unlike anything before was passing through the Golden Great Wall and locking onto him.

The gentleness in Aiden’s eyes slowly faded.

In its place came endless coldness and seriousness.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.

"Aiden, what’s wrong?"

Cheryl felt his body tense up and asked with concern.

Aiden took a deep breath. His expression was solemn, and his voice was low but firm.

"The real battle..."

"has only just begun."

...

Celestial Imperial City, at the first light of dawn.

The wild cheers and the smell of wine that had swept through the whole city last night had already faded away. In the solemn morning mist, the great city slowly began to wake.

At the very top of the Tower of Laws, strong winds howled, making the space around it hum and tremble.

Aiden sat alone on a huge stone floating in the air.

The joy he had felt last night after becoming a god was gone.

His bright divine eyes were now calm like a deep abyss, so deep that they could make anyone feel afraid.

He slowly closed his eyes and began to quickly review his condition after becoming a god.

[Realm: Lesser God. You have passed the divine ascension tribulation. Your body has been rebuilt.]

[Law Understanding: Space, Thunder, Slaughter, Fire. Overall progress: 23%.]

For an ordinary Reclasser, a 23% understanding of the laws was already a miracle far beyond reach.

But Aiden felt no pride at all.

He thought of Bella.

That woman could freeze thousands of miles of the Abyss with a wave of her hand. She was a true "Greater God."

Between a lower god and an upper god, there were two whole major realms.

The gap was like a bottomless canyon.

Not to mention the terrifying will that had awakened last night in the highest level of the Abyss-"Pride," one of the Seven Pillars of the Heavenly Demon.

"Becoming a god only means I’ve earned a ticket to enter the game."

Aiden spoke to himself, his eyes growing colder.

He did not have much time left.

This was a deadly race against destruction.

"Buzz-"

Space trembled slightly.

Zoey’s figure appeared behind Aiden like a ghost.

"Lord Aiden."

Zoey bowed slightly, her expression serious.

"Speak."

Aiden did not turn around. His voice was calm, without the slightest change in tone.

"The core of the Golden Great Wall has completely merged with the underground formation beneath Celestial Imperial City. The golden barrier now covers Earth."

"But the core was badly damaged. It will take time for the seal to recover."

"Based on our calculations, in three months, the seal will recover to thirty percent of the strength of a Sacred Artifact. In six months, it will recover to 50%."

Aiden frowned slightly, and the temperature in the air dropped at once.

"Too slow."

Zoey sighed. Her voice sounded a little dry.

"What’s worse, the ancient beings deep in the Abyss have already begun testing the edge of the seal."

"They are like terrifying beasts trapped in an iron cage. They are using their claws to search for the cage’s weak points, little by little."

Aiden snorted coldly. A trace of divine power leaked from him without him meaning to, and the space around him shattered inch by inch like glass.

"Then let them come. We’ll see what is harder-their claws, or my laws."

Just then, a sharp sword light cut across the sky.

Jade landed steadily on the top of the tower. The Divine Eyes sword was on her back, and her face was more serious than ever.

In her hand were three top-secret files glowing with a harsh red light.

"City Lord, something has happened. Three highest-level red alerts!"

Aiden stood up. His white robe snapped loudly in the strong wind.

"Read them."

Jade took a deep breath and opened the first file.

"First, in the northern region of Earth, seventeen villages disappeared without reason within three days. Not a single living thing was left behind. Even the buildings were turned to dust."

"In the ruins, underground, we detected an extremely faint but incredibly noble dark demonic energy."

"It is the aura of the Heavenly Demon. These are scouts sent by the Demon of Pride. They are testing Earth’s current defenses!"

Aiden narrowed his eyes slightly. Deep in his gaze, a flash of blood-red light from the Law of Slaughter appeared and vanished.

"What about the second?"

"Second, all traces of Dawn Society activity disappeared completely two weeks ago."

"It is as if they vanished from the world. Even their deals on the dark web have been cut off. Usually, this means they are hiding and preparing for a major move that could overturn everything."

Jade’s voice trembled a little as she opened the third file.

"Third, near the Abyss passage, energy waves from unknown powerful beings have been appearing again and again. They are moving in secret and are aggressively scanning the defense layout of Celestial Imperial City."

Three reports.

All of them were red alerts.

But at that moment, a very dangerous smile appeared on Aiden’s face.

"Scanning Celestial Imperial City? It seems some people still don’t understand reality."

"Gather everyone. We’re holding a meeting."

A moment later, inside the meeting hall of the Tower of Laws.

Cheryl, Luke, Victor, and Jade had all gathered.

The current Celestial Imperial City, after merging with the core of the Golden Great Wall, was no longer just a city.

It was the capital of the Caeloria Kingdom, and also Earth’s front-line military center against the Abyss.

The air in the hall felt so heavy that it seemed to have turned solid.

Aiden sat in the main seat. The terrifying pressure of a Lesser God rolled out from him like a hundred thousand mountains, pressing down on everyone’s heart.

Even Luke, the level 79 priest known as the "Tyrant" for his explosive temper, held his breath at this moment. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

This was the presence of a god.

With one word, he could decide the fate of the world.

"What do you think of these three red alerts?"

Aiden lightly tapped the table with his long fingers.

"Thump. Thump."

Each tap felt like a heavy blow landing directly on everyone’s heart.

Victor suddenly slammed the table. The fierce fighting spirit of a Fearless Warrior surged from him.

"I don’t care what Heavenly Demon scouts they are. If one comes, I’ll kill one. If two come, I’ll smash both of them!"

Cheryl frowned deeply and looked at Aiden with worry.

"Aiden, these three things happening at the same time can’t be a coincidence. There must be some connection behind them."

The hall fell into a short silence again.

Jade stood to the side, her face a little pale. She gritted her teeth, then slowly took out one last secret report from her robes. It was almost completely stained red with blood.

"City Lord... actually, there is one more field report that just arrived."

Aiden looked up at her.

"Speak."

Jade took a deep breath and lowered her voice. Every word felt heavy.

"In the deepest part of the ruins of those missing villages in the north, we found an altar."

"And in the center of that altar, which was full of Heavenly Demon energy, someone deliberately left something behind."

"A painting? Or some kind of formation?" Luke could not help asking.

Jade shook her head, her eyes filled with shock.

"It was a black flag of the Dawn Society."

"The Heavenly Demon scouts and the Dawn Society..."

"Have they already started working together?"

Boom!

In an instant, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

"Jade, lead the way."

Aiden stood up. His voice was calm, but it carried the unquestionable authority of a god.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Jade’s expression turned serious. The Divine Eyes sword let out a clear ringing sound.

Rip-

Space was torn open by Aiden’s fingertip as easily as thin paper, revealing a dark passage.

This was Aiden’s first official journey after becoming a god.

Boom!

The moment he stepped out of Celestial Imperial City, a vast wave of Lesser God pressure swept out like a raging tide, covering everything within a hundred miles.

The sky and earth seemed to lose their color.

The wind and clouds rolled backward.

High in the sky along the way, countless alien spies hiding in the shadows, as well as powerful experts from hidden families, were struck as if by lightning the moment they touched that divine pressure.

"Pfft-"

A level 85 hidden expert, who had been hiding in a crack in space, spat out blood and fell from the sky in a miserable state. His eyes were filled with terror.

"A god is traveling... This is the pressure of a newly ascended god!"

"Retreat! Retreat now! Do not offend his divine presence!"

Within a hundred miles, every living being and every powerful expert lowered their proud heads at that moment and moved aside on their own.
