Chapter 365: The Power of a True God! The First Task!

TL: YYang

“How is this possible?!”

Even though Song Ziqiong had witnessed numerous extraordinary events and believed she had a solid understanding of Chen Bai, she couldn’t help but have just one thought at this moment:

How could an Evolver possess two professions?

She had never heard of such a thing!

On the entirety of Blue Star, such a phenomenon seemed irreversible. It wasn’t just Blue Star—based on the Cosmic Will’s revelations, this seemed to be the case for all living beings!

So why was Chen Bai able to achieve it?

And how did he do it?

Two professions?!

In just an instant, countless benefits flashed through Song Ziqiong’s mind.

For example, the doubling of growth when leveling up.

Or two completely distinct profession authorities and profession skills.

No wonder…

No wonder her master, even when his level lagged behind in many situations, could easily annihilate creatures far above his own level.

Now, it seemed as though Song Ziqiong finally understood. Yet the more she understood, the deeper her awe for Chen Bai became.

To achieve such a feat—and judging by the astonished expressions of these Plague Bishops—such an outcome was clearly not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

As for things like the Abyss, Song Ziqiong didn’t really understand much about it.

What was the Abyss? She didn’t know. However, judging by the reactions of these Plague Bishops and their words earlier, she could piece together a bit of the truth.

A place and authority that even the gods couldn’t fully control?!

What kind of secrets was this man hiding? And what allowed him to possess such unbelievable power?

Song Ziqiong didn’t know. She could only continue staring blankly at the scene unfolding before her.

“Redo’s masterpiece, the crowning achievement of goblin technology and alchemy: the Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll!”

Redo!

So that was it.

Song Ziqiong immediately recalled her earlier encounter with Redo during the investment mission, where she had obtained the rare Golden City-Building Order.

In that case, what had Chen Bai—this powerful figure—received from Redo?

This question had crossed Song Ziqiong’s mind more than once before. But now, at long last, it seemed she had her answer!

A Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll?!

Such a heaven-defying artifact existed?

And this unimaginable treasure had fallen into Chen Bai’s hands?

This unbelievable situation filled Song Ziqiong with a sliver of hope. If she could also transfer professions twice…

No one paid any attention to Song Ziqiong’s shock. Instead, upon hearing Chen Bai’s words, the Plague Bishops nodded thoughtfully.

“Indeed. The power of goblin technology has reached our ears in recent years. That our lord can maintain such a close relationship with the God of Trade is truly remarkable!”

As Chen Bai had expected, once he displayed the Authority of the Abyss, the initial fervor in the Plague Bishops’ gazes was soon replaced by reverence.

Perhaps earlier, they had viewed Chen Bai as a fledgling evolver who had only just gained the Authority of the Abyss in the God and Devil Trial Grounds. While he showed great potential, they might have believed he still required their guidance and assistance.

But now, things were completely different.

To be associated with the God of Trade, Redo, to achieve the unprecedented feat of a dual-profession transfer, and to hold authority over the Abyss—a place that even the gods could not control—he had become the fabled Abyssal Overlord.

How could such a True God require the assistance of the Plague Cult?

On the contrary, it was they, these pitifully insignificant believers, who needed to plead for the deity’s grace to barely qualify as his followers.

The gap between them was beyond comprehension.

Faced with this sudden shift in circumstances, the Plague Bishops found themselves at a loss.

They had prepared to assist their True God in igniting his divine spark and condensing his divine core to become the True God of Plague in the Trial Grounds.

But after meeting Chen Bai in person, they were disheartened to realize that their True God might not care about them or even the notion of a God of Plague!

The strength of a deity depended on the might of their authority.

The concept of plague, while undoubtedly powerful, had never been fully controlled. If one became the God of Plague, they would certainly be formidable.

But compared to the Abyss, there was no comparison.

And so, in this moment, the Plague Bishops felt adrift.

Fortunately, Chen Bai, having gained further understanding and preparation for his future as a deity, could somewhat guess the thoughts of the Plague Bishops.

He smiled faintly once more and said, “Plague is one of my primary powers. Your arrival is timely. So don’t overthink it. In fact, I do have something for you to do.”

Chen Bai’s words snapped the dazed Plague Bishops back to reality. They gazed at him expectantly.

“Great True God, your benevolence lights the way forward. To serve you at this moment is our honor! Please deliver your divine edict!”

Chen Bai paused briefly before saying, “The original world of the Plague Cult was sacrificed. However, the number of plague creatures directly impacts my strength. Your very existence is tied to the authority of plague itself! Therefore, as I now hold the authority of plague, it is only natural that I grant plague creatures a place where they can thrive and survive.

“There are many planes within the Abyss that remain unclaimed by demons. I intend to extract one and transform it into a domain suitable for the Plague Cult and its creatures. How can you assist with this?”

Chen Bai’s words left the Plague Bishops both overjoyed and distressed.

They had assumed Chen Bai’s request would involve killing someone, offering sacrifices, or preparing gifts or equipment for him.

Instead, it was this!

This clearly showed that their True God held them in his heart. Yet transforming an unclaimed plane into a haven for plague creatures was far beyond their expertise.

Nevertheless, as this was the first divine edict issued by their True God, they naturally agreed without hesitation.

“But before that, I’d like to see what remains of the Plague Cult.”
