Although opening up the profession patch was important, there was no need to rush it.
Immortal Path had only just introduced dungeons, experience points, and a currency system.
The players needed at least a little time to get used to the new content.
Besides, Ye Yu would be facing Wodema in a Divine War three days from now.
He didn't want to invite any more complications before the battle.
As he pondered, the system's electronic voice suddenly sounded in Ye Yu's ear.
"Host, the profession module has always been part of Immortal Path's design!"
"It's just that Immortal Path is different from traditional online games on the market. Any profession—or cultivation path, if you prefer—is triggered by the players themselves!"
"Right now, the players haven't changed the way they think yet."
"So there's no need for an additional patch. A single game announcement is all it takes to inspire players to develop special professions!"
"And it won't affect your Divine War three days from now!"
After the system explained, Ye Yu nodded.
If that was how it worked, then the players could each discover the profession best suited to them!
Take Li Taibai, for example.
Since he loved the sword, he might genuinely be able to develop a sword cultivation system!
That would greatly boost his combat power.
Thinking this over, Ye Yu instructed the system.
"System, put out an announcement right away!"
"Tell the players to explore and find cultivation paths that suit them!"
"If a few powerful professions emerge before the Divine War, I'll have an even better chance of killing Wodema!"
The stronger the players became, the stronger Ye Yu became.
He would never hold back if there was a way to make the players stronger!
"Sure thing, Host!"
The system replied and began drafting the announcement.
While it worked, Ye Yu checked his current Contribution points.
155,774!
The system had just reclaimed two Cultivation Methods, which had caused his Contribution points to surge past 150,000 once again.
Converted to Divine Power, that amounted to more than 15,000.
"I can raise my Divine Rank!"
Ye Yu was delighted.
It took 5,000 Divine Power to advance from One-star Demigod to Two-star Demigod.
Advancing from Two-star Demigod to Three-star Demigod took 10,000.
Ye Yu now had over 15,000 Divine Power, which meant he could advance straight to Three-star Demigod.
While all the other New Gods were still working to break through to One-star Demigod, Ye Yu had already left them far behind.
"Advance!"
Without hesitation, Ye Yu gave the command in his mind.
The next moment, his Divine Rank rose from One-star Demigod to Two-star Demigod.
Without pausing, Ye Yu chose to advance again.
Moments later, divine energy shimmered faintly across his body.
His Divine Domain expanded once more.
It grew from 815 square kilometers to 1,015 square kilometers.
At the Demigod rank, each increase of one Divine Rank slightly expanded the area of one's Divine Domain.
The amount varied randomly, but never exceeded 100 square kilometers.

Ye Yu was lucky. Both times he advanced, his Divine Domain expanded by the maximum amount.
An extra 100 square kilometers might not seem like much.
But that was only because Ye Yu was still a Demigod.
Once he reached Lesser God, each advancement would add at least 1,000 square kilometers to his Divine Domain.
The higher one's Divine Rank, the faster one's Divine Domain expanded.
"If I fought Ma Baoguo again now, I probably wouldn't need the players' help. I could kill him with a single punch!"
Feeling the changes in himself, Ye Yu couldn't help but marvel.
His strength had increased more than tenfold since his Divine War with Ma Baoguo.
More importantly, he had now mastered Collapsing Fist at the Grand Perfection Realm!
He no longer needed to drain all his Divine Power to land the sword strike that had killed Ma Baoguo in an instant.
One Collapsing Fist would be enough to smash Ma Baoguo's utterly ordinary head to pieces!
As Ye Yu marveled at his newfound strength, the system finished drafting the game announcement and sent it out.
All the players who were online immediately received it.
"Dear players, Xiaotu has recently received feedback from many of you, saying that Immortal Path lacks a profession system, leaving many new players at a loss."
"Here, Xiaotu would like to remind everyone that Immortal Path is a genuine sandbox game. It doesn't rigidly assign professions to players."
"But that doesn't mean Immortal Path has no professions."
"In fact, any player can trigger a cultivation path suited to them through activities such as gaining insights, cultivating, and meditating."
"Those who enjoy practicing the sword can study sword techniques and embark on the path of the Sword Immortal!"
"Those who enjoy using poison can develop deadly toxins and forge their own unconventional path as a Poison Immortal!"
"In short, Immortal Path has no rigid rules. Anything is possible!"
"Finally, may every player find the cultivation path that suits them and become the coolest person in Immortal Path!"
"Note: NPC Ye Yu will offer a new batch of skills and Cultivation Methods. Players can choose which ones to cultivate at their discretion!"
The announcement sent ripples through the crowd, leaving all the players thrilled.
Everyone could have their own cultivation path!
Just think how awesome that was!
Li Taibai was especially excited, practically beside himself.
"Hahaha, Sword Immortal!"
"My path to becoming a Sword Immortal!"
As a hardcore player who chose a sword-based profession without hesitation whenever a game offered one, this news made him even happier than the 2,000 Contribution points he had just earned.
The top players like Li Taibai weren't the only ones excited.
Ordinary players and newcomers were thrilled, too!
The plaza was filled with lively discussion.
"Immortal Path is freaking amazing! Is this what they mean by every player being unique?"
"Everyone gets a cultivation path of their own. What a brilliant idea!"
"Don't get your hopes up too much. This kind of gameplay would be incredibly difficult for a game company to create. Immortal Path might not be able to pull it off perfectly!"
"What are you talking about? Immortal Path can already achieve 100% realism. What's one gameplay feature compared to that? Anyway, I believe in the Immortal Path company. If this announcement had come from Penguin, I wouldn't even bother listening!"
"Exactly! I believe in Immortal Path, too. With 100% realism alone, I'll sing its praises for the rest of my life!"
Some of the players nearby supported Immortal Path, while others were skeptical.
After all, it was easy enough to say that everyone would have a unique path of their own.
But making that happen was unbelievably difficult. It was only natural that some players doubted the game could do it.
The Dark Cuisine King was selling barbecue nearby. When he heard the players talking, he immediately laughed.
"I believe in Immortal Path!"
"I'm willing to vouch for it!"
"This game really can trigger all kinds of professions!"
"Because I triggered the Grill Master profession myself!"
