"Taboo: Nickname Chapter"

After changing classes, you could change your nickname once. I believed quite a few people already knew that.

So, I would talk about the taboos surrounding nicknames.

Some nicknames could not be used!!! Absolutely not!!!

For example: Hongjun Old Ancestor, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Lord of Morality, Empress Nuwa, Jade Emperor, and so on.

These names were absolute taboos. Never use them!!!

Of course, if you insisted on using them, no one would stop you.

But once you used one of those nicknames and did not change it after changing classes, continuing to use it—or setting that kind of nickname again—

Congratulations. You could find a place, dig yourself a hole in advance, and bury yourself!

Likewise, do not use names related to them either, such as Primordial Lord of Heaven's eldest uncle, Jade Emperor's second maternal uncle, or even bootlicker names like 'Lord of Morality's biological son.'

If you used one, congratulations—you could also find a place to bury yourself!

In short, the names of immortals and gods were all taboo!!!

However, taboos were also opportunities!!!

If you believed yourself strong enough, you could try setting an immortal's or god's name as your nickname.

But the same warning applied: do not touch those absolute taboos. You might be able to try some minor gods or lowly immortals.

But it was highly unrecommended!

Also, do not set title-type nicknames such as Immortal King, God King, King of the Underworld, Dragon King, Ghost King, Heavenly Emperor, God Emperor, Heavenly Lord, or Dao Ancestor. The fates of such people would not end well either.

Secondly, nicknames could not be duplicated.

Many people currently had duplicate nicknames only because they had not changed classes yet.

Once you changed classes, if someone had already set the nickname you loved, then sorry—you could only choose another one, or add a number after your beloved nickname.

So, for the nickname you loved, for the nickname you favored, and for all those brain cells that died when you first racked your brains to come up with a nickname, work hard and level up!

Finally, guild names.

Like nicknames, guild names should not match certain factions either, such as Daoism, Chan Sect, Jie Sect, Heavenly Court, and the like.

The two posts Wang Xian published instantly rose to the very top of the Forum, with replies increasing and decreasing by tens of thousands every second.

Unfortunately, Wang Xian, the protagonist who had made the posts, had long since entered dreamland.

Among those who saw Wang Xian's posts, some were confused, some shocked, some thoughtful, and some utterly terrified.

Naturally, those who were utterly terrified were the people with Mythical Grade Talents. In order to show off, they had long since told their friends and family that they possessed Mythical Grade Talents, and some had even posted about it on the Forum.

After seeing Wang Xian's posts, none of their former pride remained. There was only fear.

And after the fear came the immediate urge to contact the 'person' mentioned in the posts who could provide them with protection.

They were not fools. Naturally, they understood who that 'person' in the posts referred to.

There were also quite a few other terrified people—the ones who had taken names like 'Primordial Lord of Heaven' and 'Jade Emperor.'

However, many among them looked as though they had survived a disaster, simply because they had not changed classes yet and still had one chance to reset their nicknames.

But some were pale-faced and panic-stricken. They no longer had a chance to change their nicknames.

Because of this, quite a few of them rushed to the Forum and wildly attacked Wang Xian, cursing him for not revealing these matters sooner.

In short, there were all kinds of people.

At the same time, the Dragon Kingdom Official also moved swiftly. Major television stations broadcast the same message: they were recruiting people with Mythical Grade Talents, and the benefits made countless people drool with envy.

Of course, while recruiting people with Mythical Grade Talents, the Dragon Kingdom Official was also recruiting those with Epic Grade Talents and Legendary Grade Talents. Although the benefits were not as good as those for Mythical Grade Talents, they still tempted countless people.

It was not only those who had exposed their Mythical Grade Talents. Even some who had not revealed that they possessed Mythical Grade Talents were tempted.

In just one night, the Dragon Kingdom Official recruited nearly fifty people with Mythical Grade Talents, over a hundred with Epic Grade Talents, and several hundred with Legendary Grade Talents. Moreover, those numbers continued to grow.

It was the same conference room again, with more than a dozen elderly men gathered together.

The projector in the conference room was on, displaying the two posts Wang Xian had published under the Prophet ID. Black lines had been drawn beneath some of the text.

"Our people have been trying to contact Prophet, but Prophet has not replied at all. Not long ago, Prophet suddenly published two posts on the Forum. Their contents are quite shocking, so take a look."

"There is not much content, but there is a great deal of hidden information within it."

"That's right, especially that line, 'for ourselves, for the future.' It definitely contains extraordinary information."

"Taking the entire post into account, if our guess is correct, the hidden meaning of that sentence should be: all those people with Mythical Grade Talents died young, and because of their deaths, our Dragon Kingdom suffered an unimaginable catastrophe."

"That is what it means."

"I think so too, but I am puzzled. Were people with Mythical Grade Talents really that extraordinary? Could they actually affect a nation's future?"

"That is entirely possible. Here is some basic information on several Mythical Grade Talents. Take a look."

An elderly man picked up the remote control and pressed it a few times. The projected content immediately changed.

Valor (Mythical Grade) Effect: When the damage you take exceeds 10% of your current HP, that damage is halved, and you become immune to all critical damage, weak-point damage, and lethal damage. Sword Heart (Mythical Grade) Effect: When using a sword as a weapon, the weapon's attributes receive a 100% bonus, the power of swordsmanship skills increases by 100%, and swordsmanship skill proficiency gain increases by 100%. This talent can be actively activated. After activation, all attribute bonuses increase to 1000% for one hour. After the duration ends, you enter a three-hour weakened state (all attributes reduced by 90%). Talent cooldown: 30 days. During the cooldown, the talent's passive enhancement effects remain unchanged. Fearlessness (Mythical Grade) Effect: You are unaffected by any negative status effects. When affected by a negative status effect, it is returned to its source, with its power increased by 100%. Divine Might (Mythical Grade) ... Divine Body (Mythical Grade) ... Goddess of Luck's Favor (Mythical Grade) ...

One Mythical Grade Talent after another left everyone utterly shocked. They had Talents too, but compared to these Mythical Grade Talents, their own Talents were not even worth calling trash!

"Eh? Why was this Goddess of Luck's Favor listed separately?"

One of the elderly men suddenly noticed that among the many Talents, one had been listed separately.
