Chapter 1 "Sword Saint's" Advancement

"The Sword Saint's class change is really something else." Shi Feng couldn't help but sink into thought.

He had tried Hell mode before. Back then, when he changed classes, he was already a top player in the Underworld Guild.

He could say he was very confident in his own strength. Moreover, in order to advance to Tier 2, he had spent a lot of time getting a set of top-quality equipment, at least level 50 Fine-Gold equipment, and he even had two level 50 Dark-Gold equipment pieces. At the level 50 watershed, it was already very difficult for expert players to get Mithril-grade, let alone level 50 Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold equipment.

So, he was very confident at the time and chose Hell mode difficulty for his ordinary class.

But the result was unexpected. Not to mention completing the task, he couldn't even step through the task's threshold. He was utterly defeated. That difficulty could be described as inhuman.

Now, his combat skills and equipment far surpassed his previous life. He was confident that he could pass Hell mode without any problems, but he didn't know about Asura mode and God mode. After all, he had tried Hell mode before and could make an assessment, but he had never tried Asura mode and God mode, and he had never come into contact with any information about them, so he had no way of judging.

"Challenge God mode?" Shi Feng suddenly had such a thought.

In any case, he was now a master of the Vacuum Realm, and he also had two Legendary item fragments and several Epic items. He even dared to try Legendary quests, so it shouldn't be a problem to do a God mode class change quest.

"You want to challenge God mode, right?" Xia Lian looked at Shi Feng at this time and said with a smile.

Shi Feng nodded. He did have this intention.

"Lady Xia Lian, I wonder if my chances of passing God mode are high?" Shi Feng tentatively asked.

He knew nothing about the difficulty of God mode, but NPCs like Xia Lian were different. Maybe she knew something that would allow him to prepare.

"Truly commendable courage, even asking if it's possible to pass." Xia Lian gave him an admiring look and slowly said, "If you ask me, you will absolutely die ten times out of ten. God mode, as the name suggests, is no longer a realm that mortals can set foot in. It is a test prepared for the newborn gods of ancient times. If you think you can fight a newborn god, you might have a chance to pass."

"Fight a newborn god?" Shi Feng couldn't help but gasp.

There are two types of gods in God's Domain, one born and the other who break through the limits of life to become gods. The latter are the most numerous. Gods are not Tier 6 from the beginning. They also advance from Tier 0, but there are no bottlenecks. They can reach Tier 6 as time passes, unlike mortals who need to break through time and time again, surpassing their limits. Who knows how many people die halfway?

But even those newborn gods have extraordinary combat power. Their life level is a level higher than dragons, not to mention combat skills. Under the same attributes, even masters who control Domains are no match…

So, in God's Domain, a single Tier 6 god requires a team of Tier 6 players to fight. Any player who can reach Tier 6, whether it is combat skills or equipment, isn't standing at the pinnacle of God's Domain?

In God's Domain, it is already a myth for a single Tier 6 player to defeat two Tier 6 players…

"Then what about Asura mode?" Shi Feng asked again.

"Asura mode?" Xia Lian couldn't help but carefully look at Shi Feng, pondered for a moment and said, "Asura represents the limit of mortals, but you are still far from it. Although your equipment is good, you can try, but the chances are not high, nine deaths out of ten. I advise you to obediently choose Hell mode. The tests left by the ancient gods are extraordinary. It's already amazing to be able to pass."

"Nine deaths out of ten?" Shi Feng couldn't help but smile wryly.

He believed that passing Hell mode was not a big problem, otherwise he wouldn't have come to challenge so quickly, but he didn't expect the gap between the next two levels to be so big.

"You should think about it carefully. You should know that the more difficult the task you challenge, the heavier the punishment for failure will be." Xia Lian reminded him earnestly.

"I've decided, I'm going to challenge Asura mode!" Shi Feng thought for a moment and gave his answer.

In God's Domain, it is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you will retreat.

He has reached his limit. If he wants to go further, he needs to take risks. Passing Hell mode comfortably will not allow him to improve. On the contrary, challenging God mode is no longer a test, it is courting death, just like the God mode region副本 (fùběn, instance dungeon). No one ever cleared it in his previous life.

Moreover, if he chooses Asura mode and completes the task, the rewards will be even more generous, which will be of great benefit to the player's future development. Therefore, in his previous life, many expert players chose to pass Hard mode, and some even wanted to clear Hell mode before choosing to advance, otherwise future advancement would be more difficult.

"Alright, since you have decided, don't regret it then." Xia Lian couldn't help but sigh, and then took out a magic crystal stone and began to set up a magic array.

A full one hundred and eighty-eight magic crystal stones floated in the sky above the hall, forming a scene like a galaxy, beautiful and magnificent, but at the same time, the pressure emitted by the colorful magic array was getting stronger and stronger.

Until Xia Lian finished reading the last syllable, the galaxy above the hall turned directly into a black hole. You could see silver-white arcs of electricity surrounding the space around the black hole, making crackling sounds. Then, a golden door slowly fell from inside.

Although this door was not big, only five or six meters high, the divine power on the door was extremely strong, directly making Shi Feng unable to move. The floor of the hall seemed unable to bear the weight of the door and began to break inch by inch, sinking downwards.

"No way, this is the library!" Shi Feng's heart was filled with stormy seas when he saw this scene.

The library was reinforced by magic arrays, and even Tier 4 NPCs could not damage it at all, but now it was crushed by a door, and judging from the trend, the floor of the hall would probably collapse soon.

"Divine script reinforcement!" Seeing this scene, Xia Lian quickly began to write divine scripts and flicked her jade finger lightly.

Immediately, golden divine scripts entered the ground and formed a magic array on the ground, which stopped the door from continuing to sink. The divine power in the hall also weakened a lot, allowing Shi Feng to barely move.

However, after summoning this golden door, Xia Lian's face was obviously much paler, and crystal beads of sweat remained on her forehead. Just as Xia Lian said, it was not easy to summon this door, and it required a full three Tier 5 magic class occupations to do it.

After the door was stabilized, Xia Lian recited the divine script again. After writing hundreds of paragraphs of divine script, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a golden magic array appeared in her eyes.

"Time-space connection!" Xia Lian inputted golden divine scripts into the door.

After a minute, the golden door finally opened slowly, and in the door, you could see a silver-white vortex channel, completely different from the previous space channels. The entire channel exuded divine power, and it was pitch black inside, and it was completely unknown where it would lead.

Seeing this, Shi Feng finally understood why Xia Lian said that if he went in, there was no guarantee that he would be able to return.

"Go in, I can't maintain it for long." Xia Lian said anxiously, with sweat on her fair cheeks.

Shi Feng didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately rushed into the silver-white space channel and disappeared into the hall.

Seeing that Shi Feng had entered the channel, Xia Lian also began to slowly close the channel. Looking at the gradually disappearing door, she said with a tired face: "I hope you succeed smoothly."
