?

In the world of Gods, Death Land.

A figure flickered, and John appeared.

Unlike before, this time he wasn't connecting through the game pod but had arrived on Skyline Continent in person.

"What a strange feeling!" He took a deep breath, looking surprised. At this moment, his perception of everything around him was much sharper.

Especially the giant sword in front of him, which gave him an immense pull.

Now, he was ready to refine the inheritance of The Immortals.

"Huh, Master, something's different about you?" Avis came over, curiously eyeing John.

"Is that so? What's different?" John asked him, intrigued.

Avis blinked, deep in thought, and then said, "It's like... you feel more real."

John smiled but didn't explain further. Instead, he said, "Avis, keep watch for me."

He needed to refine The Immortals' inheritance and open the Divine Path. Death Land wasn't entirely safe, and he feared interruptions.

Sitting cross-legged under the giant sword, he began to focus.

Buzz!

A humming sound echoed. This time, John encountered no resistance while refining the giant sword. A peculiar thread of the power of laws slowly seeped into his body.

Avis stood quietly by his side, clearly sensing the power of laws, though he couldn't refine it himself.

He sighed helplessly but stopped dwelling on it, silently keeping guard beside John.

Time passed. John had already been sitting beneath the giant sword for a day but still hadn't completely refined The Immortals' inheritance.

...

Back in the real world.

As per John's instructions, Peter had selected 307 members of the Blues Family, including himself and Chris, to descend to the world of Gods.

None of them hesitated.

"Huh? There's one less spatial stone?" As he was distributing the last of the stones, Peter realized one was missing.

"Could John have made a mistake?" He frowned. By now, both John and Chris had already descended to the world of Gods, leaving him unable to ask.

"Forget it, I'll distribute the rest first." He decided not to dwell on it and handed out all the spatial stones, leaving the extra person to be dealt with later.

Afterward, he too used a spatial stone to descend to Skyline Continent.

Buzz!

As the light flickered, Peter looked around curiously. Everything here felt incredibly real to him.

"How amazing! It seems like my strength has also increased a bit," he said, delighted. He quickly found Chris and informed him about the missing spatial stone.

"Did you lose it?" Chris frowned deeply, asking in irritation.

Peter was speechless and retorted, "Father, why don't you suspect John? Who's really your son here?"

Chris glared at him and said, "Go get Armstrong."

Before long, Armstrong came running over. Seeing them both, he asked in surprise, "Grandpa, Father, have you also arrived on Skyline Continent?"

Peter nodded seriously and asked, "Armstrong, did you take a spatial stone?"

Armstrong was taken aback, not understanding why his father was making such a fuss. He replied, "Dad, even though I mess around sometimes, I know better than to joke about something like this."

Chris trusted him and said, "Armstrong, log off immediately and check if Sini is still there."

"My sister?" Armstrong was confused but glanced at his friends list and saw that Sini was online. Without asking further questions, he logged off and headed to Sini's place to investigate.

Soon, he logged back on, his expression serious, and said, "Grandpa, Sini is gone."

"That girl! Always up to something reckless!" Chris was furious. Before John descended to Skyline Continent, he had specifically told them to keep Sini in the dark. But somehow, she found out and secretly descended to Skyline Continent.

The missing spatial stone was undoubtedly stolen by her.

In the real world, aside from John, no one could rival Sini. If she wanted to steal a spatial stone, she could easily do it without anyone noticing.

Peter asked, "Father, should we tell John?"

"Do you think this is a joke? Of course we have to!" Chris snapped at him. "But John is still in seclusion. You'll tell him when he wakes up."

"Me?" Peter pointed to himself, clearly reluctant, but he didn't dare disobey.

However, he glanced over at Armstrong.

...

During the days that John was in seclusion, major upheavals occurred on Skyline Continent. Powerful deities from various races descended, and the first to suffer were the cities of the Dark Humans.

In just a few days, nearly all Dark Humans' cities ranked Level 5 or above were wiped out, with heavy casualties.

Most of this destruction was caused by the demon race and humans of Skyline Continent.

Besides this, something even more significant happened a large number of Hunters appeared and began to recklessly attack the forces of various races.

This caused the deities of these races to quiet down a bit.

Even so, several factions were still annihilated.

Among them was Ritchie's Flame City.

The sudden arrival of the Shadow Clan army was too much for John's forces to handle, especially with him still in seclusion.

Helpless, Ritchie had no choice but to abandon Flame City and lead the Flame Legion and Malina's Phoenix Guild to seek refuge with the Saint Martial Sect.

The Saint Martial Sect was also besieged by Hunters, but fortunately, there weren't too many, and they barely managed to hold them off.

...

John had been in seclusion for seven full days, and at last, he finished refining The Immortals' inheritance.

[You have refined The Immortals' inheritance, and your four basic attributes have each

increased by 100,000 points.]

[Your SSS-level talent, Three-Apertured Exquisite Heart, has upgraded to the Divine Unique Talent: One Breath, Three Purities.]

[One Breath, Three Purities: Divine Talent; allows you to split into three avatars-Heaven, Earth, and Human-that can train and grow independently. Currently, your soul power is too

weak to use this ability.]

The notifications flashed, and John was astonished.

He could feel that he had only obtained a portion of The Immortals' inheritance, yet his four basic attributes had already increased by 100,000 points.

What delighted him the most was that his Three-Apertured Exquisite Heart talent had

evolved into the one and only Divine Unique Talent: One Breath, Three Purities.

This was none other than the legendary technique used by Lao-Tzu himself.

The only regret was that his current Soul Technique was too weak, making him unable to use

One Breath, Three Purities.

To use One Breath, Three Purities, his Soul Technique needed to reach at least 40,000 points.

The only way for him to currently increase his Soul Technique was through the Soul Technique skill itself.

However, after his Soul Technique reached level 10,000, each additional level required 10,000

skill points.

At the moment, he simply didn't have enough skill points to make any significant

improvements.

Helpless, he had no choice but to temporarily give up on enhancing his Soul Technique.

His gaze shifted to the giant sword. He had only gained the part of The Immortals' inheritance that suited him, but now that he had refined the inheritance, he could allow

others to train with it.

The first person he thought of was Avis.

"Avis," he called out.

Avis, who had been standing guard, lit up upon hearing John's voice and flew over immediately, visibly relieved. "Master, you've finally awakened."

John nodded. "Didn't you want The Immortals' inheritance? I can help you now."

"Really?" Avis's eyes widened in delight, but he quickly shook his head. "Master, let's put that on hold for now. I have something more urgent to report. The Hunters... a large number of Hunters have appeared, and Ritchie's Flame City has already been destroyed. They've relocated to the Saint Martial Sect."

"What?" John exclaimed, confused. "Where did these Hunters come from?"

The Hunters he had released from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins had all been slaughtered by

the god Heidern.

Additionally, the queen bug had been killed by him, meaning the Hunters no longer had any way to resurrect. Once dead, they should be gone for good. There was no possible way for Hunters to reappear.

Avis shook his head, unsure as well.

He continued, "Master, Skyline Continent is in turmoil right now. The powerful beings of the various races are blaming all these newly appearing Hunters on you, and they hate you to the core. Also, the Saint Martial Sect has been under constant attack by Hunters these past few days. I fear they won't be able to hold out much longer."

John frowned. He didn't care about the hatred from the other races.

What concerned him was the fate of the Saint Martial Sect.

Faction power came with attribute boosts. Flame Peak and Phoenix City were respectively the

camps of the elves and the undead, and they had already fallen one after the other. The Saint

Martial Sect absolutely couldn't be next.

Just as he was about to leave Death Land, he sensed a fluctuation of Spatial power, and a

figure appeared.

It was Kamal from the demon race.

"What are you doing here?" John asked coldly, his brows furrowed.

He had previously signed a soul contract with Michelle and a few others from the demon race,

but it had been forcibly severed. He suspected Beelzebub was behind it.

The newly emerging powerhouses from several races all possessed unfathomable strength.

"I mean no harm," Kamal said, glancing at him. "I'm here to deliver a message. The demon race and the humans of Skyline Continent have learned that both the Dark Sea and the vein of

the Earth are in your Death Land. They want to take control of Death Land. However, they're currently fighting because they each want it for themselves. Still, I believe they'll eventually collaborate to seize Death Land together."

"What?" John exclaimed, his expression growing serious.

Death Land was full of treasures, not only holding the demon race's Dark Sea and the vein of

the Earth belonging to the humans of Skyline Continent, but also the Tree of Life.

He didn't want to give it up.

But with his current strength, going up against the demon race and the humans of Skyline

Continent was utterly impossible.

"There's one more thing," Kamal continued, locking eyes with John. "The other powerhouses

have learned that the Beast Clan won't protect you. They hold a deep grudge against you for destroying the Ancient Battlefield Ruins and releasing the Hunters. They're preparing to

come after you, though for now, they're distracted by the Hunters. You'd better come up with a plan."

Come up with a plan?

John was speechless. Despite his significant recent power boost, he was still no match for

these true powerhouses.

Moreover, with his physical body now present on Skyline Continent, death here would mean

true death.

"Hunters?" A thought crossed his mind, and he looked at Kamal, puzzled. "Are these Hunters also from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins?"

Kamal nodded and explained, "The Hunters, like you players, are Undying and Immortal.

Even if they die, they can be reborn."

John frowned. The queen bug of the Hunters had been killed by him, so resurrection should be

impossible. Additionally, all the Hunters had already been slaughtered by the god Heidern. Could it be that new Hunters had appeared?

Kamal didn't know the secrets behind the Hunters and didn't offer further explanation. "One last question," John said, his curiosity piqued. "Why are you helping me?"
