Actually, all the so-called 'Earth Dragon Kings' were originally the mother worm of a Tear-Earth Worm.

And they really were just like queen ants.

Only good at giving birth.

Then, the Tear-Earth Worm Boss only knew how to spit.

With 40% health remaining, honestly, with Lin Chen's current stats and equipment, he could solo it with one round of skills, let alone with four teammates and a pet helping him.

A minute and a half later, the Tear-Earth Worm Boss died.

It dropped a huge pile of stuff.

There was a lot of equipment in it.

There were also many leather materials, etc. After processing these materials, they could be used for handicrafts. Lin Chen preferred quantity over quality and collected everything.

Among the equipment, the Scepter of the Holy Maiden of Light was dropped.

The moment this piece of equipment reappeared, you could clearly feel a shockwave in the Land of Exile.

In an instant, many Holy Maidens of Light walked out of the tree holes.

Their bodies were radiating light...

This was a sign of restored power!

Lin Chen even watched with his own eyes as an older Holy Maiden of Light suddenly soared to level 180 in front of him!

She was still improving.

Finally, she stopped at the Third Reincarnation Realm!

Lin Chen quickly asked her, "What does Third Reincarnation Realm mean?"

In the game, it had only opened up to level 120.

That's 20 years!

Although Lin Chen guessed that there might be upgrades above level 120, he didn't understand this Third Reincarnation Realm.

"I am the High Priestess of the Holy Maiden of Light clan, greetings, Your Highness, the Divine Mind Wanderer!"

The woman didn't answer Lin Chen's question, but led all the Holy Maidens of Light to kneel before Liu Mengyao. Then, she turned to Lin Chen and said, "After level 180, you can no longer level up, but you can reincarnate, retaining your attributes and level, and starting to cultivate again from level one. Our Holy Maiden of Light clan has the bloodline of the Peacock God King. My name is Kong Yan, and her name is Kong Lin. We both have Kong as our surname."

At this time, Kong Lin also came forward to introduce herself: "I am Kong Lin, the leader of the Holy Maiden of Light clan, greetings, Divine Mind Wanderer and esteemed friends... Regarding reincarnation, the realm at this time is not very important. The most important thing is soul cultivation. The reincarnation realm is just a vehicle for soul cultivation, determining what level your soul can cultivate to."

Kong Yan continued to explain to everyone, "Soul levels are divided into one to nine ranks, but above the ninth rank, there are also five major realms: Divine Apprentice, Divine Envoy, Weak God, Strong God, and Heavenly God. If your level and number of reincarnations are not enough, then your soul cultivation will also stop. For example, to cultivate your soul to the Divine Apprentice level, you must reach the Second Reincarnation Realm or higher."

"Now the High Priestess is at the Third Reincarnation Realm, and her soul cultivation is at the Divine Envoy Realm, but it is even more difficult to go higher. If you want to cultivate to the Weak God Realm, you probably need to be at the Fifth Reincarnation Realm. Of course, there is also a chance when you are at the Fifth Reincarnation Realm."

Kong Lin told Lin Chen, and also told everyone, "Four or five reincarnations may allow you to cultivate to a Weak God, and the upper limit of soul cultivation is also the Weak God level; six or seven reincarnations can allow you to cultivate to a Strong God. If you can complete nine reincarnations, then it is possible to reach the Heavenly God Realm!"

Lin Chen roughly understood.

It turned out that everyone's level was just a carrier for soul cultivation.

You could understand it this way.

Level was body refinement.

Making your body able to carry a stronger soul.

And cultivating the soul was the fundamental goal of this game!

Similar to the cultivation realms in those novels.

In the later stages, the stronger your soul ability, the stronger your combat power.

After understanding all this, Lin Chen immediately privately messaged Liu Mengyao: "You can ask them to live in Sky Moon City temporarily. In the future, we will help them find a new territory."

"Okay!"

Liu Mengyao immediately discussed it with Kong Yan.

Then, everyone went to Sky Moon City together.

At this time, it was already three in the afternoon.

There wasn't much time left.

Lin Chen still needed to ask Kong Yan about methods to accelerate soul cultivation, so he disbanded the team.

Anyway, everyone had something to do.

Liu Mengyao went to settle the Holy Maiden of Light clan and complete the mission.

Zhang Chunlin wanted to continue climbing the rankings, and he planned to open pet eggs.

Bai Shuyi and Xue Mo were the same.

Lin Chen left Kong Yan alone and asked, "Besides absorbing soul crystals every day, are there any other ways to cultivate the soul?"

"There are some natural exotic fruits that can accelerate the speed of cultivation when eaten. In addition, there is also alchemy. All elixirs will also have this effect. Also..." Kong Yan hesitated when she said this. After nearly three seconds, she looked at Lin Chen and said, "Devouring souls is the fastest way to cultivate, but if you devour the souls of your own kind, it is easy to create demonic obstacles."

"Demonic obstacles, are they like heart demons?" Lin Chen asked.

"No."

Kong Yan shook her head and said, "Demonic obstacles are just demonic obstacles. Heart demons only harm yourself and will not harm others, but demonic obstacles are different, because they may be another you, an evil you, a dark side of you! When the demonic obstacle is formed, it can wreak havoc everywhere."

"So, I can devour the souls of monsters without any problems?" Lin Chen was very cautious.

He had to ask everything clearly.

"That will easily breed heart demons," Kong Yan replied.

Looking at her expression, she seemed very resistant to devouring the souls of monsters.

But Lin Chen didn't care.

Moreover, he had personally witnessed the Giant Ape King devouring the souls of demons in the dungeon.

It was still in the game now.

The game announced that the servers would be shut down, but Lin Chen had still invested tens of millions.

He had worked hard to get his account to number one in the game.

As a result, after today's understanding, he realized that the world of this game was so vast!

He thought that he was invincible with level 120, a full set of mythical handmade equipment, and three top-quality pets, but now he realized that cultivating the soul only started at level 120. This was just the beginning?

Lin Chen was certainly unhappy!

Moreover, why should humans have a psychological burden when devouring the souls of monsters!

Those monsters don't have any psychological burden when they eat people!

Lin Chen didn't care.

He had to try it.

So, while Lin Chen watched Liu Mengyao and the Holy Maiden of Light clan get along happily, he took advantage of the last bit of time and came to the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon alone.

He started it solo!

Anyway, with his current powerful attributes, he wasn't afraid at all.

And this time, Lin Chen wasn't polite at all.

He didn't follow the usual routine to clear the dungeon.

When the first Boss was defeated and turned into a soul form, Lin Chen directly grabbed it and swallowed it in one gulp.

[You have devoured the soul of the Two-Headed Monster (Dungeon Avatar), soul cultivation increased by 5,000 experience!]

Five thousand!

Good heavens, a Two-Headed Monster could be worth five dazzling soul crystals' worth of cultivation experience?

Why did Kong Yan have a flickering expression when she talked about devouring souls for cultivation?

Lin Chen didn't care.

However, he discovered another blind spot in his knowledge here.

It turned out that the monsters in the dungeons were all dungeon avatars... That meant that there might be their real bodies in the game?

The souls of the dungeon avatars were so nourishing, so what about the real bodies...?

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

That meant that he could use the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon to crazily increase his soul cultivation until the servers shut down?

Lin Chen wouldn't be polite!

Two hours later, at six o'clock in the evening, Lin Chen walked out of the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon.

At this time, his soul cultivation had reached the Fourth Rank!

He entered the dungeon again, trying to devour the soul of the Two-Headed Monster.

"You... you devil, my real body will definitely not spare you!" The soul of the Two-Headed Monster actually said these words before being devoured.

This further confirmed Lin Chen's guess.

Lin Chen was overjoyed.

That meant that until the servers shut down, he could use the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon to crazily improve his soul cultivation?

Lin Chen wouldn't be polite!

At eight o'clock, Lin Chen's soul cultivation had reached the Fifth Rank.

At this time, Lin Chen finally noticed the changes.

[Lin Zhong Chen Xi]

[Class: Sky Walker]

[Level: 120]

[Experience: 1/3 billion]

[HP: 57200]

[MP: 85600]

[Magic Attack: 75328]

[Physical Attack: 75328]

[Movement Speed: 258.33 yards/second]

[Soul Cultivation: Fifth Rank]

[Soul Attributes: All Attributes Increased by 10%, All Skills Increased by 1 Level, Skill Points +10]

[Constitution: 3250+325]

[Spirit: 8560+856]

[Strength: 8560+856]

[Agility: 4270+427]

Lin Chen's attributes began to increase.

Moreover, the skill levels were also enhanced.

There were also ten more skill points.

That meant that Lin Chen could learn another Forbidden Spell!

The prerequisites for the Sky Walker class to learn Forbidden Spells were:

First, all basic skills must be maxed out at level ten.

Second, learning a Forbidden Spell required ten skill points.

So as long as Lin Chen had skill points, he could continue to learn Forbidden Spells.

This was another huge boost for Lin Chen.

Now Lin Chen was very glad that he had changed classes.

But there just wasn't enough time.

He ran the Heavenly Palace Riot dungeon again. This time, his soul cultivation was still 20,000 experience points away from the Fifth Rank.

But the time had already come to 10:50 PM.

There were ten minutes left before the game servers shut down.

Yes, it was an hour earlier than in his previous life.

Lin Chen didn't know the reason, but he felt a little uneasy... Could it be that his crazy actions in the game had led to this one-hour earlier invasion?

Lin Chen saw the game announcement that the servers were about to shut down, and Liu Mengyao also sent a message, saying that she was going offline.

"If anything happens after you go offline, call me immediately."

Lin Chen instructed.

Then, he returned to Sky Moon City and waited until the game servers shut down and he was automatically logged out.

In reality, Lin Chen took off his game helmet.

Then, he came to the window.

The sky above was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

At the moment the clock turned, Lin Chen suddenly closed his eyes.

He heard a clear cry in his ears.

The cry was like Kunshan jade breaking into pieces.

And lotus blossoms weeping dewdrops!

The next moment, Lin Chen opened his eyes.

Above the sky outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder roared, demons descended upon the world, and there were terrified screams everywhere outside the residential area.

In Lin Chen's room, the Vermilion Bird was lying on his bed, the Flying Sky Rat was obediently nuzzling Lin Chen's arm, and the Snow Woman was standing to one side like a human-shaped doll.

All of Lin Chen's equipment was fully equipped!

At this time, Lin Chen felt endless power all over his body.

This moment had finally arrived!

...

ps: The game has invaded reality.

The protagonist is also about to take off!
