Chapter 102: Your Majesty! I'm right here — come catch me!

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, when Lu Zheng saw that his Job Change Quest was actually to kill a lower-rank true god, he nearly smashed the Job Change Temple.

With the power he currently commanded, slaying a demigod was indeed easy.

But a true god and a demigod were two entirely different kinds of existence; Lu Zheng could not even be certain whether the attacks of a low-level being like himself could actually break through a god's defenses.

Fortunately, after going through so many quests, he could at least see where the slim hope in these quests lay.

It was right there in the prompt.

The Blood-thread Spider Demon Queen Mother's strength would begin to recover after her revival, which meant that upon just reviving, she was not at her peak condition and would not reach the level of 550.

Though her strength was certainly still at the true god level, any portion of strength missing meant one more fraction of a chance for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng immediately made his arrangements.

First, he placed summon beasts like the Kui Ox, Xiang Liu, and Nine-headed Undying Phoenix — ones that could steadily continue leveling up in specific environments — into their respective dungeons. With five days remaining, four days could still raise them by seven or eight levels.

Perhaps the mana brought by those seven or eight levels would be the key to ultimate victory.

As for the remaining summon beasts, Lu Zheng took them all and headed for the Abyss!

The Abyss plane was very dangerous, and there were surely Evil Gods at the true god level within it, but in order to quickly raise his level and make a final effort, Lu Zheng needed to take the risk.

Moreover, whether it was the Abyss plane or the Undead Plane, or other dangerous planes.

Even if he did not go this time, he would certainly go after his job change.

The number of holy-level monsters and demigod-level monsters within this world's dungeons was limited, and they could no longer satisfy Lu Zheng's need for rapid leveling.

The arrival of Xuanyuan Wuji interrupted his conversation with Xue Feihua.

Lu Zheng guessed that Xuanyuan Wuji did it deliberately — he did not want to tell him right now about how a true god could exert true god-level power in the lower realm.

Even though he was already very powerful, Xuanyuan Wuji had no intention of letting him take all the pressure upon himself.

The half-year pact.

He had said he would give him half a year's time, so there were certain things he would not actively let him know.

But Lu Zheng could guess at some of it, such as this very matter.

It was very likely that at some point in the future, not too far off, the rules would be broken by the Evil Gods.

Evil Gods at the true god level would descend, and true catastrophe would arrive!

But judging from Xuanyuan Wuji's reaction, this day would most likely not arrive within half a year, so he still had time to continue growing.

But even so, at a normal rate of growth, half a year was absolutely not enough.

Therefore, he needed a more aggressive leveling speed.

If he could successfully complete this job change, the next job change would come within a month — it would not drag on for long.

Arriving at Tiannan City, Lu Zheng entered the Abyss Demon Lair dungeon and went straight to the entrance of the eighth floor.

After this period of recovery, the number of abyss demons within the lair had refreshed back to its previous state, but Lu Zheng no longer cared for this place.

The density was still too low.

He needed to kill more, more powerful monsters!

After entering the ninth floor of the Abyss Demon Lair, Lu Zheng flew directly away from the entrance.

By all logic, if he wanted to preserve his life and escape at a critical moment, Lu Zheng's best choice would be to stay near the entrance so he could flee at any time.

But he still had an item obtained a long time ago.

【Item: Gate of the Abyss Scroll】

【Effect: Using the scroll opens a Gate of the Abyss, connecting this world and the Abyss plane. The Gate of the Abyss lasts for 72 hours and allows creatures up to LV. 300 to pass through.】

The spatial coordinates had already been established; whenever he wished, he could use it to open a Gate of the Abyss leading from the Abyss to the eighth floor of the Abyss Demon Lair.

At the same time, he had also mastered the skill 【Void Walking】, sufficient to save his life.

Taking a step back, he still had one resurrection chance from the 【Nirvana Rebirth】 passive skill, and nine lives from the 【Nine-headed Undying】 passive skill to burn through! Dying once would not be a problem.

As long as he could successfully escape in the end, it would be worth it.

After all, if he could not complete this Job Change Quest, he might die anyway. Considering everything, Lu Zheng still directly entered the Abyss and pressed deeper within.

He summoned the abyss demon that had now reached level 158, sat on its shoulders, and let it carry him forward.

Since he was not clear about the environment and terrain here, he sketched a simple map in his mind as he went.

After more than half an hour, Lu Zheng encountered the first Abyss race.

【Monster: Abyss Ratman】

【Quality: Boss-level】

【Level: LV. 100】

【Health: 100,000/100,000】

【Mana: 20,000/20,000】

【Strength: 5000】

【Agility: 3000】

【Spirit: 3000】

【Constitution: 4000】

【Skills: Frenzy, Dark Impact, Plague Poison Mist】

This population numbered over four thousand, with level-100 monsters making up ninety percent; of the remainder, half were juvenile monsters below level 100, and the other half were elite monsters above level 100.

Lu Zheng used a single 'Wildfire Plains' to kill them all, gaining some experience points.

This amount of experience was far too little for him.

What Lu Zheng truly needed were monsters at a scale of millions or even tens of millions, so that he could gain a sufficient amount of experience within a limited time.

Searching on his own was truly too time-consuming and laborious.

Though he had dispatched many summon beasts to search everywhere, the efficiency was still too slow.

The Abyssal plane is too vast; even if all the summoned beasts were dispatched, the search range would still be limited. Wanting to find a large population, Lu Zheng cannot grasp the timing.

He needs to adopt a more radical approach.

After a brief thought, Lu Zheng put away the Abyssal Demon, activated the Void Walk skill to enter the void, and simultaneously summoned Baize.

Speaking of what energy in the Abyss is most eye-catching,

it is naturally holy power, without a doubt.

Lu Zheng's idea is simple: have Baize draw the fire.

The aura of a fifth-stage holy-attribute legendary divine pet is released, accompanied by a wave of evil-repelling light that spreads out, like a huge light bulb lighting up in the pitch-black night.

In that instant, a large expanse of the sky was illuminated.

Many monsters noticed this side and began to frenziedly gather here!

Baize's behavior is provocation.

It's equivalent to you charging into the enemy camp and pulling out a loudspeaker to shout—

"'Great King! I'm here, hurry up and catch me!'"

This is practically, the taunt index maxed out.

A large number of Abyssal race uprisings surged toward this side.

Baize's aura is not just a provocation; to them it is also a delicious temptation.

Therefore, a large number of Abyssal monsters quickly gathered here.

The powerful Abyssal monsters are huge in size; even from a great distance, Lu Zheng sensed their approach.

Many of them are monsters above level 300, after all, Baize's aura is very strong, so ordinary Abyssal monsters dare not approach.

Seeing so many Abyssal monsters, Lu Zheng became quite excited; waiting until the distance was no great, he directly released all the summoned beasts he had with him, and the slaughter upgrade began! (End of chapter)
