[Congratulations on passing the advancement assessment, you have advanced to the True God Level…]

[To advance to True God Level, you need to reserve a bit of True Spirit, do you agree?]

Du Gang knew about reserving True Spirit in the Heavenly Court, and he wasn’t surprised. He directly agreed.

In the next second, he saw a purple radiance that he had never seen before emerge from his body. Du Gang had no control over this radiance. As soon as it emerged, it flew towards the sphere emitting hazy white light, disappeared into it, and was gone without a trace.

At the same time, there was a sense of shared destiny with the Heavenly Court in Du Gang’s heart.

This was different from when he first entered the Heavenly Court and was imprinted. Back then, he felt as if his life and death were at the mercy of others. This time, it felt like a symbiotic relationship.

Du Gang finally understood what Zhang Youwei had meant. Anyone who wanted to advance to a True God level must entrust their True Spirits to the Heavenly Dao.

However, outsiders, even if they wish to entrust, need to cultivate their Dao to a sufficient level.

In contrast, reincarnaters like them only need to pass the advancement task to become True Gods.

Both paths have their pros and cons. The former relies entirely on talent but without the risk of death.

The latter has a death rate of ninety-nine percent, which says it all.

When Du Gang was contemplating how to advance to the True God Level, his two deities, which had previously resided in the abyss and the Pangu Universe, both entered the Heavenly Court’s space.

This…

Seeing three identical bodies, they sighed at each other.

“The Heavenly Court, as expected…”

The next second, Du Gang’s nine deities merged into one, forming a very solid figure.

Then, he heard the profound sound of the Dao.

“When God and the body unite, there is no death and no destruction!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Immediately after, Du Gang saw that his current body began to collapse and disappeared in no time.

However, at this moment, his nine deities became a solid body… or rather, something similar to a body.

Upon becoming a True God, he is no longer confined to the body or the deity, but has become an even more powerful entity.

It’s like a body formed by rules. Du Gang understood why God Spirit Level could not harm True Gods.

He realized, it doesn’t matter if he can reach a combat power of over 700,000 or even a few million, it’s all futile.

It’s like two different dimensional beings. No matter how strong a God Spirit Level being is, they cannot harm a True God.

On the contrary, True Gods can kill God Spirits as easily as crushing an ant.

[Advancement successful, Heavenly Court space opened for True God Level. Communication platform for True God Level opened]

[Body datafication completed, personal attribute column available]

[Name: Du Gang]

[Original Way: 100 meters]

[Method Amplification: 8%]

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

[Secret Technique: Nine-Secluded – Jie-Character Secret, capable of exploding with ten times the power within ten seconds. Note: This secret technique does not stack with the method amplification.]

[Secret Technique: Dead Man’s Sutra- Volume Nine, a 10% chance to be reborn when dead. Note: If the rebirth is triggered, the True Spirit revival state will not be activated.]

At this moment, Du Gang suddenly realized that the idea of a Heavenly Court mission to conquer all realms was merely an ignorant misconception.

These so-called realms were originally under Heavenly Dao, and in turn, Heaven’s Court.

Before the era of myths, the so-called Heavenly Court lost control, only implying that those high-status fellows in the Heavenly Court fell out of favor. Those fellows were no different from him; they were also reincarnators, but their authority was higher.

As the system says, Jie-Character Secret does not stack with the method’s progress, which means it changes from multiplication to addition.

In the past, the three would multiply to get combat power. Now, the two are multiplied separately by the base Original Way and then added to get the combat power.

This time, his power was stronger, his strength more solid, and he regained the skill of flying in the Primordial Continent.

When Du Gang’s consciousness returned to his body and his sight became clear, Zhang Xinyi and the rest had successfully advanced and were slowly descending to the ground.

“Have you all succeeded?”

“Of course!”

“I’m even stronger than before!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The few of them chatted excitedly for a while, their attention then turned to their surroundings.

“After this advancement, it seems our Heavenly Court space has become larger, and we can stay longer!” Du Gang slightly squinted his eyes, sensing the sphere, and received a countdown of three days. This meant he could stay in the Heavenly Court for three more days.

“Yeah, not only that, but there’s an added door leading to the Communication Plaza.”

It was an illusory door, standing right beside the sphere. There was no need for a switch; you could reach the Communication Plaza just by passing through.

After a discussion, Du Gang suggested, “Let’s go, let’s check out the Communication Plaza.”

God King Zhang Youwei mentioned that one could not only recruit members in this Communication Plaza but also trade with each other. Du Gang had been curious for a while.

Soon, all four went through the illusory door one after the other.

The next second, their eyes blinked, and they found themselves in a large plaza.

Figures would appear one by one on the plaza, like Du Gang and others, being teleported in.

“There are so many people…”

The plaza was large, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people if they stood densely. Even now, with people flashing in, there were already hundreds, and the number was still increasing.

At this point, someone came up to them.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Are you new here?”

When Du Gang turned to look, he saw a sleazy middle-aged man with a beard looking at them brightly.

“What’s up?”

The sleazy middle-aged man grinned, “Give me a bit of merit, and I will tell you the situation here, how about it?!”

Du Gang didn’t bother him and just walked away.

The other three naturally followed Du Gang. Seeing this, they quickly followed.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave!”

The sleazy middle-aged man took a couple of quick steps and quickly blocked them, “We can negotiate… How about 5,000 merit points?!”

Du Gang laughed, “Although we just arrived, won’t we know everything if we stay for a few days?”

Having said that, he went around him and continued to walk towards the edge of the plaza.

“You staying for a few days, can’t possibly know as much as I do. I’ve been in this True God space for a full million years…”

Du Gang hesitated for a moment and looked back at the sleazy middle-aged man who was dressed very old, as if he hadn’t washed his clothes in a million years.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He shook his head, “A million years, still here, what’s the use of your information?”

Now the sleazy middle-aged man got anxious, “A thousand merit points, just give me a thousand, I will tell you the situation here!”

The rest were slightly moved, a thousand merit points, divided among them was only two hundred and fifty each…

However, Du Gang kept moving, heading towards the edge while saying without looking back, “This information is not essential for us, it’s just a matter of devoting more time to acquire it…”

“A thousand merit points, there are four of us, do you mean to say we distribute them evenly, making it two hundred and fifty each?”

“No!” The middle-aged sleazy man quickly denied, “I didn’t say that; if a thousand isn’t acceptable, we can negotiate further…”

Du Gang smiled lightly and said, “one hundred per person, four hundred for all of us. If you accept our offer, say so now. If not, let’s drop it!”

The sleazy man gnashed his teeth and agreed.

“Deal!”

At once, Du Gang and his companions stopped in their tracks.

The sleazy man spread his hands and continued with a servile grin, “Gentlemen, can I have the money first?!”

Du Gang responded with a light laugh, “The money, though not a lot, can’t just be given like that. Here’s what we’ll do: You speak first. If I find what you say valuable enough, I’ll pay you…”

The sleazy man thought this was reasonable. These people weren’t foolish enough to give him the money upfront. He was sure to return to his own space immediately after…

“Ahem!”

He cleared his throat and started, “This True God Level Communication Plaza is a large gathering place where all True God Level reincarnators can come…”

“To recruit soldiers and horses, hire hitmen, trade in equipment, and so on.”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang narrowed his eyes and interjected, “Hire hitmen?”

The sleazy man chuckled and explained, “You probably don’t know that at this True God Level, every five missions a task world with higher difficulty will appear. At these times, some people who have control of cultivation will hire stronger individuals to help them with their tasks. These hired hands are the “hitmen”…”

“Free trade is simply the practice of some people selling items cheaper than their exchange value at the Heavenly Court’s sphere of light…”

“Also, the entire Communication Plaza is surrounded by various shops. These shops are generally owned by the Heavenly Court, but operating rights can be transferred through transactions… Of course, only large-scale guild members can afford to run these shops.”

The sleazy man chuckled, “Next up is the part regarding the guilds in the Communication Plaza…”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together in a gesture suggestive of asking for money.

Seeing this, Du Gang promptly transferred 100 merit points to him.

“Hehe!”

The sleazy man didn’t mind the amount, he looked pleased. Soon, he resumed his narration.

“These guilds initially emerged spontaneously among reincarnators within the Heavenly Court’s space. Of course, later, with the advocacy of some people, the Heavenly Court created an official guild registration system, allowing the existence of guilds.”

“There are three levels of guilds, each varying in terms of membership, scale, and benefits.”

“Of course, even the most basic level one guilds aren’t something just anyone can establish!”

The sleazy man asked with a smile, “Do you know the requirements to establish a level one guild?”

The four of them shook their heads.

He proudly stated, “To establish a level one guild, there are three conditions. First, you must possess a guild formation order. This item is very precious, typically only found in high difficulty task worlds; each one is immensely valuable. The last time one was auctioned, it fetched over ten thousand merits. It’s frightening…”

Over ten thousand merits. Hearing this, all four were astounded. From the God Spirit level to the True God Level, they hadn’t accumulated more than a hundred merits, and here, just one token costs ten thousand merits; it was truly horrifying.

The sleazy man laughed, “I was just as stunned when I first learned the price of this item. But once you know the second condition, you’ll understand!”

“The second condition for establishing a guild is that at least a thousand people need to register!”

“This implies that ten thousand merits can be purchased if each person only contributes ten merit points.”

Du Gang understood, and it made sense. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated for one person to take out ten thousand merits.

“The third condition is to complete the guild creation task. These tasks are usually of the large-scale war type, which is difficult to complete without thousands of reincarnators. Of course, these guilds often hire a large number of hitmen to charge and break through for them.”

After hearing all this, Du Gang couldn’t help but sigh. In their previous tasks, they had only encountered small skirmishes, with no more than twenty reincarnators in each task world. Who would have thought that here, there were large-scale tasks involving thousands of people? He could hardly imagine what that scene would be like.

The sleazy man paused once again, rubbing his hands in that familiar ‘money-asking’ gesture.

Seeing this, Kou Yingwu transferred a hundred merit points to him.

“Hehe!”

He chuckled, then continued: “Guilds are categorized into three levels. A level one guild has a minimum of a thousand members and a maximum of ten thousand, enjoying the benefits of a level one guild.”

“A level two guild requires a minimum of ten thousand and a maximum of fifty thousand members, enjoying the benefits of a level two guild.”

“A level three guild requires a minimum of fifty thousand and a maximum of one hundred thousand members, enjoying the benefits of a level three guild.”

Du Gang furrowed his brows, “Do these guilds really have that many members?”

The sleazy man chuckled, “Of course not. Besides a small core group of people in guilds, most of the members are solitary joiners!”

“Guilds operate on a membership basis, ranging from lowest to highest: peripheral members, primary members, intermediate members, senior members, core members.”

“Above that, you get the leadership.”

“Each guild has different levels of members, each enjoying different treatments and responsibilities.”

“For instance, peripheral members can only enjoy very few benefits and don’t need to bear much responsibility. They have a pretty lax situation; entering and leaving the guild doesn’t require much.”

“Most people are at this stage. They don’t have many responsibilities but have access to a trading platform and a communication platform!”

“I have a very important piece of advice for you all!”

“What is it?”

Just as Du Gang asked his question, he saw the sleazy man rubbing his hands again, his face wearing its familiar silly grin.

Tao Xuanzhu saw this and quickly transferred a hundred merit points to him.

“Hehe!”

“This piece of advice is very important. If you aren’t aware of it, you might pay the price with your lives!”

“That is: Never trust anyone in a task world who isn’t officially teamed up with you!”

The four were taken aback, not quite understanding his meaning.

The sleazy man displayed a cryptic smile, “In a True God Level task world, except for those who have the team contract scroll whose tasks are the same, most people’s tasks are not the same!”

“It’s hard to be sure if someone’s task contradicts yours. If you rashly reveal your task, think about the consequences…”

After hearing these words, all four of them felt that these one hundred merit points were indeed worth it.

ps: My mother, who’s in her sixties, is in the hospital and I’m the only one who can take care of her. This is keeping me busy; I can only sneak in some writing time on my phone while eating or using the restroom.

…sickness…

…over a thousand in medical fees per day…

…poor in a bustling city with no one to rely on…

As the only man in the house, thankfully I have a credit limit of 100,000 on Jie Bei.

I won’t dwell on this, I just hope the readers understand.

…The original design I had in mind has been simplified and the plot has been truncated. I apologize for this.

The completion plan remains the same, which is on the 30th of June, but the updates may lag behind in terms of word count.
