Chapter 594

He had just gone up and squatted for a few hours, but for the others it was another two or three days.

After the territory battle, there was no need to linger on Zhu Shen Da Lu for them—reaching level 255 meant they could ascend.

Zhang Fan said: "We originally planned to ascend together to the Storm God Kingdom, but something went wrong during the ascent and we ended up in a place called the Myriad Heavens Tower."

Xiao Feng showed surprise: "That's great—clearing a hundred eighty floors yields nice rewards; reaching 200 floors lets you exchange for many good things."

Before, he really wanted to bring friends to challenge the Myriad Heavens Tower, but you can't get there with scrolls, and tokens can't bring people, so he gave up.

After he finished, Dun Dun said gloomily: "If only it were that easy… When I got to over 50 floors, those herbivorous and carnivorous creatures made me dizzy. Knights already have weak AoE—this is torture… After barely getting past, floor 101 starts the instant‑damage test; you need to deal 3 million damage per second to pass, and I just couldn't do it."

Floors 101‑150 are instant‑damage test stages; the target has zero defense and just takes hits—just unleash maximum damage.

But Dun Dun is a full‑tank knight; even with a full set of divine gear giving decent output, he can't compare to damage‑dealing classes in instant damage.

The 3‑million‑damage‑per‑second test directly discouraged her.

Li Li also said: "I'm about the same—playing a pure‑heal priest on that is exhausting; the whole time I switched to ghost form to deal damage, making me wonder if I'd turned into a ghost. But I only got to floor 106 before I couldn't go further."

Others also spoke up with their own results.

Zhang Fan has the Brawl talent and also brought the medium‑grade divine weapon Xiao Feng gave him; hitting a zero‑defense wooden dummy, his max instant damage reaches 45 million, letting him reach floor 129.

Mang Mei is the highest‑damage among them, surpassing Zhang Fan by 11 floors to reach floor 140, but she likewise failed to clear the instant‑damage test stage.

The Luck‑focused poison‑healer Xing Yun Miao lagged behind both, reaching floor 121.

Xiao Feng listened and couldn't help sighing at the importance of talent.

When he first entered the Myriad Heavens Tower, his level was under 200, but his instant damage already exceeded 170 million, letting him blast through all instant‑damage stages in one go.

If not having

With the Ten Thousand Times talent, he would actually only manage about 17,000… far weaker than these teammates.

But his gear back then was poor, so there's no real comparison.

"Old Xiao, how did you climb past 500 floors? What difficulty are the later stages?" Li Li couldn't help asking.

After visiting the Myriad Heavens Tower, they all saw Xiao Feng's ranking, high up in the top five, and his last score update was over a month ago.

Although they knew Xiao Feng was much stronger, they still couldn't help being curious about the later difficulty.

Xiao Feng said: "The later stages are pretty mixed—there are endurance challenges, speed challenges, god‑slaying challenges, whack‑a‑mole challenges, etc.; overall the attribute requirements are still pretty high. If you feel pressured, you can exchange for some talent potions, pop a 1‑3 tier talent to boost yourself first."

Their teammates' talent slots aren't full yet—each can hold up to three talents; currently Zhang Fan has two, Mang Mei two, Li Li two, Xing Yun Miao one, and Dun Dun none.

For those with many empty slots like Dun Dun and Xing Yun Miao, you can directly exchange talent potions to boost them first.

Given their current floor numbers, they can exchange for Mythic‑grade talent pearls. Mythic talents include some very strong ones—like Zhang Fan's Brawl talent, which is top‑tier, its practicality on par with Li Li's Ultra‑Mythic talent 'Evasion'.

If you're unhappy with the talent you rolled, you can also exchange for a 【Talent Forgetting Potion】 to wash it out, though it's pricey.

"Let's talk about it next time—we've already come out of the Myriad Heavens Tower, haven't used our points much, want to wait and see if we can get stronger, then exchange for better rewards," Xing Yun Miao said.

After clearing past floor 100, each person gets one free entry/exit opportunity to the Myriad Heavens Tower.

They can return anytime; there's no rush.

Xiao Feng nodded: "Then you go play in the Divine Realm for a while; I'm currently in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, where time flows at the same rate as the real world. I've found a pretty good treasure that needs nearly two days to mature. By the time I return, you'll probably already be having fun in the Divine Realm."

The five‑person squad was guided to the Myriad Heavens Tower during the ascension process; upon exiting the tower, they appeared directly in the Storm God Kingdom.

After a meal, we can continue gaming and slowly explore the Divine Realm's gameplay.

Li Li exclaimed in surprise: "Time flows at the same rate as the real world? If we often go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, wouldn't we be at a huge disadvantage?"

Xiao Feng sighed: "Yeah, so I suggest you first enjoy ten‑times speed cultivation in the Divine Realm, raise your level, and polish your commonly used skills to perfection. After breaking through the divine‑grade threshold, then consider whether to go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield."

He himself levels up too fast, his attacks are too fierce, and from start to finish his skill‑release frequency is far lower than others', so even after becoming a god he never managed to polish a skill to perfection.

Mang Mei and the others are relatively better; after a few months of practice in the game, their minor skills have nearly reached perfection, so even after becoming gods they needn't worry about lacking usable skills.

As for low‑frequency legendary and divine‑punishment skills, they can be preserved via the 'inscription' method.

……Normal players are like that.

Only Xiao Feng is abnormal!

Zhang Fan said: "Well, there aren't many people in the Divine Realm yet; we can run around and maybe snag some dungeon first‑kills. With a medium‑grade divine artifact in hand, even if we meet a lower‑god boss, we still have a fighting chance."

The Elemental Divine Realm is still an unknown space for them, free to explore everywhere.

When Xiao Feng previously returned to Zhu Shen Da Lu, he left each of them a sum of divine stones as startup funds; in the Divine Realm they needn't worry about food or opening.

"Brother Xiao Feng, just focus on your stuff; when you return, maybe many people will have already ascended," Mang Mei rare‑ly spoke up.

Xiao Feng said: "Yeah, my two days equal your twenty days; those leading level tiers are surely nearing demi‑god status. Plus, another 71 factions' zones will also ascend to the Elemental Divine Realm, so player numbers will at least reach hundreds of thousands, even millions."

Currently, the ascended players are the vanguard of each major war zone, their levels far ahead of everyone else.

After a while, when the mass of players' levels rise, the number of ascended players will undergo explosive growth.

By then, possibly several million people could ascend each day, and the ascension plazas of the major god kingdoms will be packed to capacity!

By then, the gaming life in the Divine Realm will truly have begun.

Otherwise, like before, the whole zone would have only Xiao Feng playing alone, feeling terribly lonely!
