Dawn's breath caught for a moment.
"The Ladder to Godhood has been there all along?"
"All along," Night Cherry Tangle replied evenly, as though stating a simple fact.
"Then why didn't anyone know? Are you telling me no one in the entire Yan Country War Zone discovered it?" Confusion filled Dawn's voice.
"Discovered it?" Night Cherry Tangle echoed. "Once you reach Level 100, break free of mortal limits, and advance into the Holy Domain, the quest naturally appears before you."
"But how many people meet those requirements?"
"We succeeded because the guild leader helped us."
Level 100.
The Holy Domain.
Just two simple terms, yet Dawn understood at once.
Forget Level 100. Across the entire Yan Country War Zone, only a handful of players had even reached the threshold of level ninety. Most of the main-force players were still hovering around levels seventy and eighty.
As for the so-called Holy Domain, he had never even heard of it. It seemed as distant as a myth.
The threshold was right there, perfectly clear, but so high that 99.9 percent of players did not even qualify to look up at it.
"I get it..." Dawn gave a bitter laugh. "We weren't keeping it to ourselves. They simply weren't qualified."
He looked out the window again. He could not see the crowds, but he could imagine the uproar on the forums.
A bunch of rookies who had barely found their way out of Newbie Village were demanding to know why max-level veterans would not share a guide to clearing a divine realm dungeon.
The absurdity of it.
"What do we do now?" Dawn asked. "Let them keep making a scene on the forums? That post by [Logic Genius] has had too much impact. If this keeps spreading, it might really shake players' confidence
