Chapter 176: Another Dead End

This final assessment left Lu Zheng somewhat speechless.

【Third Assessment Content: Battle of Light】

【Description: Convert no fewer than ten thousand angels and lead them to slay no fewer than one billion demons】

【Rewards: Light Affinity +50%; Divine Skill: Light Resurrection】

The Divine Skill reward made Lu Zheng's eyes light up.

That was Resurrection! A true method of resurrection—with this skill, he truly would not need to fear death.

Nor would he fear his friends and loved ones dying.

Just resurrect them with a wave of his hand.

Perhaps he could even complete that task of the Dark God King.

But after seeing the description of the assessment content, Lu Zheng felt completely awful.

If they wanted him to slay ten trillion demons, that would be fine.

But asking him to convert ten thousand angels—where was he supposed to find the people? Right now, among all of humanity, there were hardly any who had reached the Saint tier.

Ten thousand angels—this seemed like another dead end! Lu Zheng noticed that the timing of these divine throne inheritance assessments apparently was not the present.

Perhaps if the world developed slowly and reasonably according to its original rules, eventually tens of thousands of Saint-tier professionals would emerge, along with numerous demigods.

In that case, inheriting those divine thrones would seem very reasonable.

By then, all the Demon Kings would have fully revived, and the Dark God Hammer could be smoothly retrieved.

Now, perhaps because of himself, perhaps because of that outsider, all of this had changed.

And now, both divine throne inheritances were stuck on the final item.

No!

Could a person really be suffocated by their own urine?

If there weren't ten thousand Saint-tier professionals, then he would just create ten thousand.

Wasn't it just a matter of completing Job Change Quests?

With an External Avatar assisting the entire process, plus sufficient potions and equipment, he refused to believe he couldn't produce ten thousand Saint-tier professionals in a short time! Lu Zheng was now the supreme will of the entire Daxia Alliance.

At his command, the entire alliance immediately mustered twenty thousand students.

Why twenty thousand people?

This had to account for the fact that some people's quests might need to be completed solo without assistance, and the danger would be too high.

There was no need to take that risk.

He only needed a batch of qualified tools.

After he issued the order, the External Avatar first brought these twenty thousand people to the vicinity of the Main God-tier Evil God instance.

Helping them obtain the experience points needed to advance to the Saint tier.

Then it began assisting them in completing their Job Change Quests.

Facts proved.

When the entire alliance mobilized and all resources were deployed together, the efficiency was extremely high.

In just one day, over four thousand people completed their fifth advancement.

Lu Zheng's main body was not idle either.

He began continuing to summon Divine Pets.

Right now, among the five great God King Thrones, both the Light God King's and the Dark God King's throne inheritances had reached a deadlock.

He needed to continue enhancing his combat power through Divine Pets.

【Ding! Consumed one hundred million mana points, successfully activated the skill God-tier Summon. Congratulations, you have obtained the five-star legendary Divine Pet 'Qin Yuan'】×1【Triggered hidden talent 'Summon the Gods' passive effect two: you have obtained the skill 'Death Wither'】

The very first draw netting a five-star legendary Divine Pet left Lu Zheng completely dumbfounded.

One draw, one soul—that was a first! A casual draw yielding a five-star legendary Divine Pet—who could handle that?!

Lu Zheng could handle it.

He was, after all, someone who had seen great things in the world.

He had summoned quite a few Divine Pets, and already had over ten five-star Divine Pets.

Five-star Divine Pets were not rare; the key was still how good their abilities were.

First, a glance at the directly obtained skill.

【Skill: Death Wither】

【Effect: Consumes a minimum of one hundred million mana points to release on a single target. Death poison, no cure exists. Living creatures poisoned will continuously lose large amounts of life force, rapidly withering and dying.】 Generally, skills like this that didn't specify an exact damage value had terrifying effects.

But it didn't boost Lu Zheng's current combat power by much.

Nor could it change his predicament.

He continued looking at the other skills.

Lu Zheng didn't pay attention to the rest, but one skill among them interested him greatly.

【Skill: All Things Become Poison】

【Effect: Consumes a certain amount of mana to transform everything in the world into poison, or to attach poison to anything; the poisons of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and the five elements!】

Lu Zheng didn't expect this poison-transformation ability to poison to death that existence beyond the God King tier.

What interested him was that this skill could be used in combination with a passive skill he had obtained.

Xiangliu had given him a passive called Myriad Poison Demon Body, which could absorb all poisons and convert them into mana and damage.

As long as he turned everything into poison, then integrated all the poisons through the 'Poison Mist Demon Barrier' skill, he could rapidly gain experience by absorbing poison energy.

It looked similar to directly using the Black Hole Devour skill to devour everything.

But in reality, the poison-transformation process added mana value.

Mana was endless and vast in quantity, so a single conversion of toxin energy would be substantial.

That way, after fully absorbing it all, wouldn't his level just take off!? If his own level could rise above Divine King class, then what was there to fear from outsiders! He'd beat them straight into the ground!

But soon, Lu Zheng calmed down again.

This method was feasible, but Myriad Poison Demon Body was a passive skill and could not actively absorb toxins.

So it would inevitably be a slow process.

Compared to his original leveling speed it was certainly fast, but relying on this method alone, he feared that before he could reach a sufficiently powerful level, the outsiders' attack would already be upon them!

He still needed to continue summoning Divine Pets.

The summoning could not stop.

But at the same time, Lu Zheng used Triple Clone to create a clone transformed into the likeness of a Qinyuan Bee, heading into the Abyss Demon Realm to use this method to attempt leveling up.

Divine Pet Summoning continued.

But it seemed the very first one had produced a five-star Legendary and drained all his luck.

After that, nothing good kept appearing.

They were all merely Immortal grade.

On the other side, the cultivation of Saint-class professionals proceeded quite smoothly.

After the second day ended, he had already successfully helped over six thousand people complete their sixth Job Change, becoming Saint-class professionals.

On the morning of the third day, the target of ten thousand people was successfully reached.

There were still others undergoing their Job Change Quests, but that no longer mattered.

After Lu Zheng gathered these ten thousand Saint-class professionals, he began releasing the Divine Skill "Angel Reincarnation." Instantly, two pairs of wings grew from their backs.

Their appearance was unchanged, but in essence, they were no longer human.

This point had been explained to them when selecting the students.

However, upon learning they could directly become demigods,

they had nothing to hesitate about.

They were all children of ordinary families; originally, becoming a high-class professional was the ceiling of their lives.

Now they could become demigods — what more could they be dissatisfied with!?

One must learn to be content.

After the ten thousand angels were transformed, the ten billion slaughter targets took less than ten minutes.

The main delay was just bringing them to the battlefield, which took a little time.

【Ding! You have completed the third trial of the Light Divine King's Divine Throne Inheritance Trial: War of Light】

【Reward: Light Affinity +50%; Divine Skill: Light Resurrection】

【Current Light Affinity: 220%】

Let's look at the Resurrection skill first!
