Chapter 552: Chapter 302: Legacy of the Deity, Saint Walks

"Unknown small town." Gu Shanhai surveyed this chaotic world but didn’t have many thoughts, instead constantly adjusting the parameters of his Magic Domain and "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" to be compatible with this strange world.

In this world, energy was simply called Divine Power, originally known as the power of gods. After the gods died, their Divine Power dispersed to form monsters, and their remains became lands of adventure, such as high towers and dungeons. The natives grew stronger by killing these abominations born in the lands of adventure and absorbing the Divine Power released upon their death, blessed by the gods.

Of course, not all Divine Power was absorbed; some would condense into equipment, items, or resonate with the blessings to become skills.

Gu Shanhai had obtained this data through Prophetic Divination.

He discovered something interesting: the database of this world was comprehensive and, more importantly, very low in consumption.

It was just slightly outdated, possibly left by a god related to prophecy who later fell and became a Saint, thus no longer able to interfere.

"This task is quite difficult," Gu Shanhai observed his main quest, which at first glance was merely called clearing an adventure land.

But he understood that to clear an adventure land was something typically only large adventure groups could accomplish, and historically, the lands that had been cleared were very few; most used them as a means to grow stronger.

However, correspondingly, the rewards for clearing an adventure land were extremely generous and could create a Level 10 adventurer.

Adventurers obviously had levels, but the levels did not exaggerate to 100 or 1000; the pinnacle was Level 10, which of course wasn’t a classification of the "First Epoch" but of this world.

Yet there were actually two levels beyond Level 10: Saints and gods, which were not attainable by adventurers.

At least in the records, no one had broken past Level 10.

If Gu Shanhai’s estimation was not wrong, a Saint would be around Level 300, and a full Level 10 would be around Level 299; as for a god, that would be at least Level 1000.

A large gap was normal since the gods had already vanished.

"I need to get myself an adventurer’s identity first," Gu Shanhai pondered.

To become an adventurer, one must obtain the blessing of a god, which simply required killing a monster in the lands of adventure.

However, even the weakest monster was remarkable, so while becoming an adventurer was a major trend in the world of adventurers, not everyone was willing to risk their lives, with a success rate of about one percent—meaning only one in a hundred people could become an adventurer.

Actually, there was another way to receive a god’s blessing besides killing a monster.

That was by providing a common person a job change certificate.

Adventurers had professions, and besides a few insignificant individuals who could receive a god-granted profession upon becoming adventurers, the majority needed to kill elite monsters and lord monsters above ordinary ones to obtain a job change certificate; hence, except for the powerful families’ scions, no one could afford this method.

Using a job change certificate to become an adventurer was an extremely lavish and wasteful act because such adventurers would not receive a profession, even if they were a genius, and any powerful and fitting god-granted profession that they could have received would disappear, requiring them to obtain a new job change certificate for appointment.

Thus, this method was only used by those less gifted scions; the real heirs, like the legitimate sons, would become adventurers by fighting monsters.

As for Gu Shanhai, he planned to first obtain a job change certificate to study its principles.

From the fact that one could become an adventurer through a job change certificate, it seemed this certificate was also composed of Divine Power.

"Finding Gold Coins is a bit difficult," Gu Shanhai muttered quietly.

In this world, Gold Coins were not ordinary gold but Divine Power Coins exploded out of monsters; among adventurers, only Divine Power Coins were recognized as currency, while ordinary currency circulated among common people.

Divine Power Coins were not just simple currency; they could also be used to enhance an adventurer’s strength, such as upgrading skills and strengthening equipment, among other matters.

If you wanted to buy a job change certificate, they wouldn’t accept ordinary currency, only Divine Power Coins.

Even the most basic job change certificates for the three roles of warrior, mage, and priest required a thousand Divine Power Coins.

Fortunately, this was not a big deal for adventurers; even a Level 0 monster would drop three to five coins.

Yes, adventurers and monsters’ levels did not start from Level 1 but uncommonly from Level 0.

These individuals were known as rookie adventurers and novice monsters. A Level 1 adventurer would not fight a Level 0 monster, as too high a level would reduce the gains.

"Never mind, no one knows me anyway," Gu Shanhai looked around and felt that one should not always follow the rules rigidly; he would set aside his identity as a virtuous knight for now and temporarily assume the role of a player from the Evil Path.

He couldn’t afford it but still desired it, so he would have to pay a certain price.
