Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman-Chapter 519 - 518, Above the Divine there is the Lord_1

Chapter 519: Chapter 518, Above the Divine there is the Lord_1
This is undeniably true: Divine are powerful, and they are categorized into Ordinary Gods and True Gods.
Ordinary Gods simply possess a God’s Seal.
True Gods are the pinnacle of their respective professions.
For example, in the Occupation as an Assassin, its progenitor is a True God.
For Angel-type professions, it’s Angel Gods.
Er Xin explained, "Actually, it’s not quite like that. Above True Gods are the Lords. The All Gods developed professions and established rules. Everyone must live in awe of the Badge’s power."
"In fact, long ago, there were no Badges."
Jiang Chen was startled.
What? No Badges? Then...
Trena smiled. "Don’t look so shocked. You’ll understand in the future. Many worlds are waiting for you to explore! The Divine you consider the endpoint are, for the Divine themselves, merely the beginning."
"However, if you wish to participate in the games of the Divine, you must first become Divine—this is undeniable."
Jiang Chen nodded; her words made sense.
Currently, he wasn’t even Divine.
But for me, that should change soon,
Jiang Chen thought.
Er Xin asked, "What Level are you?"
"Level 435."
"Hmm, you level up quickly. You’re almost a Ninth-stage Class. Becoming a Demigod is a certainty unless a Divine intervenes. No one else is your match."
Er Xin was quite familiar with Jiang Chen’s progress.
Anyone who obtained Bai Yun’s divine-slaying sword Art would inevitably level up rapidly.
Trena exclaimed, "So fast! When I first met you, you were only Level 300-something, and now you’re 435! You level up faster than I do!"
Jiang Chen said, "You, an Incubus, dare to roam around so freely?"
"I have protection. Daphne, however, did not. She ascended as well, and now she’s being hunted!"
"Really?"
"Of course, it’s true! Hasn’t Daphne contacted you? She might even be dead by now!"
Trena was right; Daphne hadn’t contacted him recently.
Jiang Chen had assumed she was busy leveling up.
Jiang Chen asked, "What happened?"
Trena said, "It’s nothing major. Apparently, a Demigod took a liking to her and wanted her as his 199th lover. Daphne refused, so now she’s being hunted."
"What’s this Demigod’s name?"
"Lucien."
Trena laughed. "You’re not actually thinking of going to save her, are you?"
"We’re friends, after all. Isn’t it right for me to save her?"
"I advise you not to."
"Why?"
Trena rolled her eyes. "Are you stupid? Consider your status and hers. You’re a Hero of the Continent of All-Gods; she’s a Hero of the Difiled God Continent. If you go to save her like this, you’d harm yourself and her."
"Then, you two will become, what’s it called... ah, yes, a pair of Ku Yuanyang. That’s what you Wanderers call it, right?"
Er Xin nodded...
Jiang Chen fell silent.
Trena was right.
Indeed, if he tried to save her, not only Daphne but he himself would be in danger.
Trena spoke again, "It’s not that there isn’t a way."
"What way?"
"Once you go to the Land of Sin, you’ll understand. This place is unique. Anyone can come to the Land of Sin. It’s not just a lawless zone; it can also nullify the influence of the Badge."
"What do you mean?"
Er Xin explained, "This is Augustus City. Regarding the Swordsman Badge you’re cultivating, if you were to betray the Continent of All-Gods, they would have the right to confiscate it. However, Augustus City can eliminate their ability to control your Badge."
Trena clarified, "It means completely rebelling against the Continent of All-Gods and becoming a citizen of Augustus City."
"Then isn’t that the same as being on the Continent of All-Gods?"
"That’s definitely not the same. This way, not only can you save Daphne without losing your Badge’s power, but you only need to pledge allegiance to Augustus."
"And a True God has such power."
Pledging allegiance to Augustus God is no different from pledging allegiance to the Continent of All-Gods. There’s absolutely no difference. I will never pledge allegiance to anyone! Not even to a Divine,
Jiang Chen thought.
He wasn’t interested in this proposal.
Trena continued, "Some Heroes from the Continent of All-Gods and the Difiled God Continent have broken away to pledge allegiance to Augustus. Haven’t you noticed the Giant Tribe here? They also broke away and pledged allegiance to Augustus."
"Otherwise, why do you think the Land of Sin has been allowed to exist all this time by both the Difiled God Continent and the Continent of All-Gods?"
"This is the power of a True God: the ability to strip Badges and the allegiance they command."
"Until you become Divine, the Badge isn’t truly yours."
"If you betray the Continent of All-Gods, they have the right to strip you of your Badge. This is done using Divine Power, which you cannot resist; you are powerless against it."
Jiang Chen asked, "What about you? You’re an Incubus. Have you also pledged allegiance to Augustus?"
"Certainly not. I am very proud to be a member of the Difiled God Continent."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Give me a break! Loyalty? You don’t seem to have a loyal bone in your body,
he thought.
After they ate, Jiang Chen found an inn to stay for the night.
He entered the Dream Realm.
Jiang Chen tried to contact Daphne, but after waiting for a long time, she didn’t appear. His brow furrowed.
Has Daphne really encountered danger?
He waited a long while longer, but Daphne still didn’t show up.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to give up...
A figure materialized in Jiang Chen’s Dream Realm...
Daphne had arrived.
Daphne exclaimed, "You’ve reached Level 435? You’ve ascended to the Upper Realm?"
"Yes. Trena said you were in danger?"
Daphne nodded. "After I ascended to the Upper Realm, Lucien targeted me. He insisted I become his 199th lover. I refused, and so he started hunting me," Daphne complained.
Jiang Chen said, "I’m in the Land of Sin!"
"I’m also planning to go to the Land of Sin. Even Lucien wouldn’t dare act recklessly there; it’s a place protected by an Otherworldly Divine."
"Where are you?"
"Cyber Space. Jiang Chen, the Upper Realm is different from the Lower Realm. Besides equipment, there are other things—those are the true treasures."
Jiang Chen knew this too. The most important of these were the Power of Laws. Once you mastered a Law, you could even slay Gods.
Jiang Chen also understood that the Divine don’t possess Badges; their power is fully integrated into their bodies.
The Badges exist because the All Gods gave everyone a chance—a chance to become a God.
Simultaneously, it was an opportunity for the Continent of All-Gods to collect Energy.
At that moment...
Daphne’s expression changed drastically. "I have to go!"
WHOOSH...
Daphne vanished in an instant...
Jiang Chen’s brows knitted tightly.
She’s in danger. Daphne is my woman, after all. How could I not save her when she’s in peril?
Jiang Chen immediately woke up.
He grabbed his sword and left the room.
After purchasing a map, he checked the coordinates of the entire world.
Cyber Space.
Jiang Chen immediately sent a message: "I’m coming to save you. Wait for me..."
