Chapter 565: Chapter 308: This is Called the Traditional Virtue of the Master-Disciple Lineage_2

Everyone’s mentality was somewhat complex, as if they came to ask what had happened only after the person was killed.

"Teacher, you just went ahead without knowing the cause and effect, don’t you think that’s a bit improper..." Rein hesitantly asked.

"Indeed it is a bit, and then what?" Gu Shanhai acknowledged he was wrong, yet he was not only unapologetic but also rather arrogant.

The only danger of doing this was that it might offend the protagonist, but now the protagonist was on Gu Shanhai’s side, so he rounded up to being a righteous hero, and the people killed by a righteous hero were definitely the bad guys.

"No... No problem." Rein didn’t dare to continue, mainly because this incident had arisen because of him.

"It’s really the fault of the Jade Adventure Group, and it has nothing to do with you, Uncle Gu." The Demon Giant Swordsman quickly tried to smooth things over before explaining the reason.

Essentially, the leader of the Green Light Adventure Team was the daughter of the leader of the Jade Adventure Group, who died during an expedition to an adventure site. This made the bereaved leader think of Rein; his own daughter was dead, so why should Rein still be alive? If Rein hadn’t left the group and failed to offer his strategic advice, perhaps his daughter wouldn’t have died.

And so, they openly sent people to hunt down Rein and his group.

This was indeed a breach of Sen Cui City’s laws, but who could do anything about it when the Jade Adventure Group had such influence and the backing of the Forest Spirit Saint? Even though it was their fault, nobody was going to intervene. Might makes right, and besides, the victims were just some unknown small adventure team.

And then there was no afterward, Gu Shanhai took action, simply wiping out the entire Sen Cui City.

Rein wasn’t stupid. He didn’t talk about Gu Shanhai committing indiscriminate murder. The adventurers of Sen Cui City who could not afford to offend the Jade Adventure Group turned a blind eye. So why should he fall out with his own teacher over a bunch of strangers who didn’t lift a finger to help?

They were people, so wasn’t he? If not for Gu Shanhai, his entire adventure group would be dead by now, perhaps even ridiculed posthumously for overestimating themselves.

"They actually acted so unreasonably." Gu Shanhai commented, then added, "Lucky for me, I am unreasonable too."

"Teacher, it’s not good for you to speak so openly about this, is it?" Rein had also realized by now that Gu Shanhai’s lack of seriousness sometimes extended to killing.

"What’s not good about it? We’re all our own people here; there’s no need to hide anything," Gu Shanhai said confidently.

Most of the higher-ups in the Great Mahayana Truth Sect were shameless like this. Having spent time around that group, Gu Shanhai had learned quite a lot.

It wasn’t just him; even Jiang Lu was the same in private.

Gu Shanhai thought he should pass on this tradition to Rein; it was one that should not be lost.

"Ah..." Rein didn’t quite know what to say for a moment.

"Right, have you sold your items yet?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"Not yet, we were still negotiating when we got chased," Rein sighed.

Fortunately, he hadn’t lost the items; otherwise, the loss would have been huge.

"Okay, then you can sell them after you’ve recovered. It’s not too late," Gu Shanhai knew that Rein’s intention to sell equipment and items was not for Divine Power Coins but to buy materials.

The kid was indeed talented, having taught himself to craft items and concoct potions, and the effects of his creations were far superior to those produced by lifestyle professions sold in the market. It could only be said that his Divine Favored Profession’s hundred percent effectiveness extended to other areas, which he hadn’t realized yet.

Rein’s profession was mainly automatic, and the derived part was a hundred percent because the primary job was confined within skills. However, the derived part wasn’t as strictly limited, so some of it diffused out, forming his latent abilities.

"Sure, no problem," Rein voiced no objection. Although he relied on Gu Shanhai, he was also a very independent person.

"By the way, you should be at LV1 now, how is the skill?" Gu Shanhai asked curiously.

"It’s called ’Automatic Movement.’ It allows me to go to any place I’ve been before with hundred percent certainty." Rein’s face darkened a bit. This skill was just slightly better than ’Automatic Return,’ but only slightly.

Upgrading was a bit easier, though, as it only required using it a thousand times.

He usually needed to go to the Tower of Destiny to collect information. Before, it was convenient when he returned, but now it was convenient both ways.

He could even catch some sleep on the way...

Thinking about it just felt so useless, he always felt like he was somewhat letting down Gu Shanhai’s expectations, which made him a little ashamed.

"Holy shit... your ability is even more heaven-defying than before," Gu Shanhai was even more shocked. This meant that Rein could reach any area, regardless of barriers, danger, and the like—nothing could stop him.

"Yeah, it really does seem quite... useless? Heaven-defying? Did you misspeak, teacher?" Rein was a bit confused; he didn’t understand what was so heaven-defying about it.

"No, it is indeed heaven-defying."

"Think about it, if one day I were sealed here, with no one able to come in, and you, possessing this ability, could ignore any seal, barrier, and even magic to successfully reach here."

"Heaven-defying, right?"

Gu Shanhai teased.

"If it were just the word ’automatic,’ it indeed wouldn’t be much. But with the addition of ’100%,’ that’s not ordinary at all." After his teasing, Gu Shanhai spoke seriously.

This skill was essentially a higher form of automatic return, indicating that Rein’s Divine Favored Profession abilities were gradually unlocking and matching up with corresponding strength.

If one day an ability like automatic combat emerged, then as long as he activated it, he would lock in the result of a victorious battle, no matter how powerful the enemy.

"What if the next level unlocks another bizarre skill like this?" asked Rein, somewhat helplessly.

"That would mean you still have more potential to unlock," Gu Shanhai said sincerely. The origins of a Divine Favored Profession were mysterious, but its ability to compare with Professions formed from Divine Relics spoke volumes about its potential.

Gu Shanhai suspected that these adventurers with Divine Favored Professions might have a connection to fallen divinities.

As for what the connection was, Gu Shanhai had no clue for now. Mainly because, aside from the difference in strength, there wasn’t much else distinguishing Divine Favored Professions from others.

So investigating would take time, at least until Gu Shanhai could wield Divine Power himself.

For now, his ability to condense Divine Power into Gold Coins was all thanks to his status as the Dusk Saint. To delve further, he reckoned, he’d need to turn this nominal status into a real one in order to glimpse more, and not be a counterfeit.

He had a plan for that.

While common folk became adventurers by slaying monsters, Gu Shanhai was to become a Saint.

Others changed jobs into various professions, but Gu Shanhai was extraordinary. He planned to change jobs to a divinity—yes, the fallen God of Destiny’s End. Of course, he wouldn’t use the original version; he planned to modify it.

When the time came to extract the Divine Relics into the essence of heaven and earth, it would be just like his Unified Heaven and Earth Wonder—perfect compatibility, no need to worry about rebellion during the refining process.

The problem was, such an approach could have a severe side effect: the realms of Divine Phase, Enlightenment, and Insight might become distorted to the point of disappearance. To achieve these three realms, he would have to forge his own path.

"I’ll work hard," Rein said, feeling the bitterness in his heart upon hearing Gu Shanhai’s expectations. He wanted to believe Gu Shanhai, but his profession was just too bizarre, producing such abilities twice in a row had left him utterly without confidence.

"Yeah, take good rest. Don’t tire yourself for the next few days. After all, your soul was injured," Gu Shanhai also advised. It was quite normal for the attacker to have soul-targeting abilities, as some professions included passive skills like that.

To be honest, Rein was lucky to have escaped back, and it was mostly because he was the Child of Destiny, the lead character. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person survive a major force’s pursuit and return alive? They’d usually be ground to dust.

But then again, if he had used automatic return at that time, he could have come back without a scratch, although the outcome for his harem team might not have been the same.
