Taking Action

"How should I approach this unique profession and enter the halls of the gods?"

If outsiders knew that Sulu was considering this issue, they would probably laugh at him for being crazy.

But Sulu understood that the experience required for the sixth rank was nothing to him; a fraction of the experience in the experience pool would suffice.

His advancement to the sixth rank is practically guaranteed!

The only concern is the attitude of the Seven True Gods Church in the Main World!

The Seven True Gods do not want to see the rise of new gods. The Church focuses on all potential fifth-tier beings and has set up many obstacles on some career paths.

Sulu had already sensed all of this long ago.

However, the gods aren't fools; they wouldn't wait until a professional reaches the peak of the sixth rank before influencing them.

According to Sulu's experience, after reaching the fifth rank, one would come under the scrutiny of various Church, which would be particularly hostile towards young geniuses.

For example, at the last overseas trade fair, Red-Robed Archbishop Lawrence made no attempt to hide his hostility towards me.

It's conceivable that if I were to advance to the sixth rank so quickly, there might even be assassination plots.

Therefore, there can be no hesitation or delay.

After reaching the sixth rank, one must immediately advance to the seventh rank, keeping pace with the gods, and truly transform from a pawn into a player!

"The path to the seventh tier... while [Void Alien Demon] is very strong, let's rule it out... [Dream Caster] is a good path; there are many unique directions at the seventh tier, and it seems that Sivinardo has chosen this path as well. In comparison, the [Spirit Mage] path at the seventh tier is the most conventional..."

"However... I still have many questions about how to become a god."

This is ultimate esoteric knowledge, unlikely to be possessed even by the seven major Church.

Only a true deity could possibly know.

Sulu felt that there were perhaps only two options that could help him at the moment.

One is a true ' Abyss Demon,' a being that delights in chaos and fear and doesn't mind his past minor offenses.

On the contrary, He seems quite pleased to see gods appear in the world; even the resurrection of Sivinardo bears His shadow.

The emergence of a new god is indeed the best choice to break the balance and disrupt the rules.

That was no longer a chess piece; it was like a rock that had been smashed onto the chessboard!

But upon closer inspection, it really is the kind of style the Demon likes!

"But if I choose the Demon, I must walk the path of the [Void Alien Demon]... I don't want to offer my faith, even if He is more powerful than ordinary gods, and... there's also the matter of Tonks involved."

Sulu firmly rejected that option. "Then the most likely person to help me next is Sivinardo, who 'dealed' with me... This operation is the best opportunity."

"But why do I feel like I've become the villain?"

The true gods need to maintain order.

Sulu wants to become a god, but he cannot get help.

The only option is those chaotic and evil gods.

In the Main World, these are Demon, the Lady Moon, Sivinardo, and so on...

But what about Lady Moon? If I were to pray to her, wouldn't she just strike me dead with lightning?

The next day, Dunstan faithfully brought the [Mage] class inheritance:

[Apprentice] -- [Spell-Toucher] -- [Mage] -- [Black-Robed Mage] -- [Eclipse Mage]!

It has all five professions, making it quite comprehensive.

Sulu accepted the gift with delight and reiterated his commitment to participate in the operation.

Several days later.

The site of the former Nia City, on a giant crater that has now become a lake.

"Nia City..."

Sulu and another figure stood in mid-air, then suddenly sighed.

"This is where you studied, isn't it? Please accept my condolences, sir..."

Siso, shrouded in a black robe, comforted her in a hoarse voice.

His fifth-tier class is [King of Assassins], an advancement from [Shadow Assassin], a being that strikes fear into the hearts of all fragile characters.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile..."

Sulu gazed at the shimmering lake, his expression returning to calm. "Just a little sentimental..."

Even so, Siso couldn't help but glance at him repeatedly.

His keen senses as Assassin led him to realize that this Honorary Councilor had indeed become stronger, just as Dunstan had said!

To make such rapid progress in such a short time, the other person is indeed a genius in their professional career.

Of course, there are also some subtle differences!

'But... there's nothing particularly dangerous about it. If we really have to fight, at this distance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I might be able to...' Siso thought to himself, a professional habit kicking in.

"Huh? They're here."

Sulu seemed completely oblivious, gazing up at the sky.

There, two black dots emerged and sped through the clouds at incredible speed, eventually transforming into slender human figures.

"Is it His Excellency Schumacher, and that [Great Axe Executioner]?"

Siso went to meet him.

"Welcome, both of you!"

[The Great Axe Executioner] Alsen had an icy expression, like solid ice that had never melted. After saying a few words, he fell silent.

Sulu waited a while longer and saw two beams of light approaching. He knew they were people from the Church of the Goddess of Light. When he saw the figures inside clearly, his expression turned cold.

Two people from the Church came. The first was Red-Robed Archbishop Lawrence, whom he had a slight conflict with.

The priest had a gentle demeanor and even smiled when he saw him, which sent a chill down Sulu's spine.

In addition, there was a Ascetic beside this bishop.

The other person was tall and wore the coarsest hemp robe, without any adornment, and had a blank expression, like a statue.

But vaguely, Sulu felt that he and Rhode were somewhat similar.

"These two are Bishop Lawrence of the Church, and the ascetic James!"

Schumacher introduced Sulu and Siso.

"The Ascetic... James?"

Sulu stared at the Ascetic, a question already forming in his mind, "May I ask what your profession is?"

"Lord Sulu should be quite familiar with this... [Paladin]!" Lawrence said with a smile, "James Potter is a devout follower of the Goddess, having dedicated everything to Goddess, and is currently undergoing rigorous training in ' Vow of Silence '."

The so-called "Vow of Silence" is one of the "Ten Precepts" for Ascetic.

Ascetic are among the most devout believers in the Church. They voluntarily renounce wealth, power, and everything else in the mundane world, dedicating their bodies and minds to God.

Furthermore, through various forms of asceticism, they continuously strengthened their faith.

For example, one cannot speak, drink alcohol, eat food, or get angry, etc. These precepts are collectively known as the ' Ten Commandments '.

Those who cannot speak are said to be under ' Vow of Silence '!

"James Potter?"

Siso immediately glanced at Sulu and accurately saw anger in the other's eyes.
