Chapter 331 New Dungeon Choices
Completely unaware of the astonishing events that occurred inside the God and Demon Shop after they left, Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu bid farewell to the other three in the chaotic matching space and then stepped out of the portal.

Because the number of players who have completed the second job advancement is not large, all the portals to the second job advancement dungeons have been centrally located in another area by the Temple of Divine Revelation.

At that moment, the golden beam of light that marked the perfect completion of the challenge shot into the sky, and soon the staff relayed the news to the nine supreme experts.

As for Yu Zhun and the other two, they were immediately teleported back to the guild.

Upon returning to the guild, a sense of unfamiliarity welled up within me.

The [God of Slaughter] guild, which was already quite grand and imposing, seemed to have expanded several times over during the time they entered the [Death Burial Pit] to conquer it, and its grandeur was beyond imagination.

"Yu Zhun, is this our family's guild?!" Yu Zhu covered his mouth in surprise and couldn't help but ask.

“I think so…” Yu Zhun touched his chin uncertainly, then thought of something, “With the two of us becoming second-tier players, the guild has successfully been promoted to a five-star guild.”

"The Five-Star Guild has more guild areas, which must be due to the expansion by the rich woman during this period."

As they were talking, Ji Xiaoyu rushed over and smiled when she saw Yu Zhun and the other person. "Are you satisfied with the new guild?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied." Yu Zhun gave a thumbs up. "Thank you for your hard work."

"This isn't just my achievement," Ji Xiaoyu smiled. "Most guild members participated in the guild's development."

As she spoke, Ji Xiaoyu's gaze toward Yu Zhun held a hint of resentment.

After all, this person has been a hands-off manager for a long time.

"Haha, everyone's worked hard." Yu Zhun scratched his head awkwardly and looked away. "It's great news that the guild has been promoted to a five-star guild. I'll give every member a red envelope later!"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged this." Ji Xiaoyu smiled helplessly. "All first-tier members will be rewarded with 100 God and Demon Medals and 10 million in cash, while initial members will be rewarded with 50 million in cash."

"A rich woman is generous." Yu Zhun gave Ji Xiaoyu a thumbs up.

The [God of Slaughter] guild now has hundreds of members, and these red envelopes add up to a considerable amount.

"Don't blame me for using too much of your money," Ji Xiaoyu said with a smile. "After all, all the guild's money is yours in the end."

The majority of income for the 【Killing God】guild comes from equipment rentals, and this has remained unchanged to this day.

These equipment are no longer just what Yu Zhun obtained from the [Purgatory Arena]. Other members also hand over any unwanted equipment they acquire to the guild for rental. Now, the guild has top-tier equipment for all levels.

And almost all of this money came from Yu Zhun's earnings.

Yu Zhun only uses it occasionally; most of the time, he lets Ji Xiaoyu and others use it to develop the guild.

The [God of Slaughter] guild now has over 100,000 God and Demon Medals in its account, a number that even the Divine Revelation Hall might not be able to produce.

On the surface, the [God of Slaughter] guild is just a newly promoted five-star guild, but in reality, it has already grown into a behemoth.

However, the Divine Revelation Hall seemed completely unconcerned about this, and even seemed somewhat happy to facilitate it. This ambiguous attitude alone made many high-ranking members of other guilds secretly alarmed, and they dared not offend the [God of Slaughter].

"I heard you've perfectly cleared the Lv70 dungeon [Death Burial Pit] again." Ji Xiaoyu paused slightly as she looked at Yu Zhun and his sister. "What are your plans for the future?"

"After resting for a few days, I'll probably try out a level 80 dungeon," Yu Zhun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared in Ji Xiaoyu's eyes, "A level 80 dungeon?"

This level of dungeon has already been conquered by the nine strongest warriors. Yu Zhun has only just completed his second job advancement. Has he already reached this point?

"Hmm." Yu Zhun nodded. "My upgrade speed is faster than expected, so I plan to take it a step further."

"If we can reliably clear Lv80 dungeons, we might try clearing Lv90 dungeons next."

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, Ji Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then smiled absentmindedly, "No matter what, you must be careful."

"Yes, I will." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile.

"I...I still have some things to take care of, I'll go now." Ji Xiaoyu glanced around, then quickened her pace and left.

Seeing Ji Xiaoyu's somewhat flustered figure, Yu Zhu couldn't help but say, "Yu Zhun, Sister Xiaoyu seems a little sad."

Yu Zhun sighed softly, "Yu Zhu, what would you do if I leveled up too fast one day and left you behind?"

"Me?" Yu Zhu thought for a moment, then snorted, "Then I'll have to push you hard. Once you've built up an empire for me, I can just sit back and relax!"

"It's pointless to ask." Yu Zhun tapped Yu Zhu's head and took out the [True Self Nameplate] from his backpack. "Wear it properly and don't take it off."

He had a vague feeling that, given how much importance God 2 placed on this item, its effects seemed to be more than just what He had described.

"Okay~" Yu Zhu took out the nameplate he had redeemed from his backpack, pinned it to his chest, and then stretched.

"I request to sleep until I naturally wake up!"

“Okay, let’s go home.” Yu Zhun smiled and logged out of the Divine Revelation World with Yu Zhu.

The two returned to reality and, upon opening their eyes, saw Jin Huan and the black cat wrestling together.

After a moment of silence, the two roared at the same time.

"Stop it all!"
-
"So, this time, Jin Huan started it first?"

After finding out what happened, Yu Zhun looked at Jin Huan, who was looking aggrieved and covering her head with her tentacles, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

As the Temple of Divine Revelation publicly announced that the Golden Ring is its guardian beast, the faith power of billions of people from Earth began to converge on the Golden Ring. This faith power was a great boon to the Golden Ring.

In a very short time, Jin Huan broke through the second stage of deification and even began to advance rapidly towards the third stage of deification.

Then, when she saw the black cat that had bullied her and used her as a backup food source, Jin Huan felt it was time to avenge herself.

It provoked the black cat, and then…

He got beaten up by the black cat again.

It was clearly only a stage of deification, but the black cat seemed to have absorbed power from the Tower of Lunar Eclipse during its hatching, making its potential exceptionally strong. Even when facing the Golden Ring, which was at the second stage of deification, it could easily defeat it.

As a result, the poor Golden Ring had several more whiskers eaten by the black cat, and it has not fully recovered to this day.

"Poor child." Yu Zhu sighed and patted Jin Huan's head sympathetically. "Be good and don't provoke the black cat again."

Jin Huan nodded, her eyes brimming with tears.

It vowed that it would never provoke the black cat again before reaching the third stage of divinity!

As for what happens after breaking through the third stage of divine transformation…

Well, that's a different story.

Jin Huan believed that no matter how strong the black cat was, it was impossible for it to be two levels higher!
"Good girl~" Completely unaware of what her pet was thinking, Yu Zhu patted Jin Huan's head to comfort her.

"Black Cat, how many more mythical fragments are you missing to break through to the second stage?" Yu Zhun suddenly asked.

"Meow~"

The black cat licked its paws and answered slowly. Upon hearing its reply, Yu Zhun's expression became somewhat strange.

The black cat said that it was originally short of nine, but now that it has eaten a lot of the golden ring's tentacles, it only needs one more.

"Here, take this." Yu Zhun shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and casually tossed a fragment of mythology to Jin Huan.

He casually exchanged this mythological fragment in the God and Demon Shop corresponding to the [Death Burial Pit].

At this point, one or two fragments of mythology are meaningless to him, so Yu Zhun no longer cares.

According to his estimation, unless he has a great opportunity comparable to the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] during the second transformation stage, X4 level will be the limit of the talent level he can reach before the third transformation.

After all, upgrading to X5 level requires 6561 Mythical Fragments, which is an astonishing number.

"Meow!!!"

The black cat's face lit up with delight. It let out a "woof" and snatched the myth fragment in its mouth, crushing it like a candy before swallowing it.
The next instant, its aura suddenly became solid, and there seemed to be some kind of transformation taking place.

This transformation also occurred in the second talent that the black cat shared with Yu Zhun.

Congratulations on receiving the boost from your second talent!

【Greed Power (X1): Each unit killed during a dungeon run grants the player a 3% increase to all attributes and an additional 1.5% bonus at the end of the run. This talent cannot be actively upgraded.】

↓

【Greed Power (X2): Each unit killed during a dungeon run grants the player a 5% increase to all attributes and an additional 2.5% bonus at the end of the run. This talent cannot be actively upgraded.】

The power of the talent 【Greed Power】 has been proven in the past second job advancement trials and 【Death Burial Pit】.

With this extraordinary talent, Yu Zhun can level up and grow at an unimaginable speed.

If he had more options, Yu Zhun would have even been tempted to upgrade the black cat to the third stage of divine transformation. After all, it was only 81 mythological fragments, which was not unacceptable to him at the moment.

However, the X2 level of [Greed Power] after being upgraded to the second stage of Divine Transformation still surprised Yu Zhun.

Simple numbers, extremely abnormal.

He's already looking forward to the next strategy.
-
"So, which instance should we choose this time?"

After a few days of rest, the five-person team reunited, and Lu Wen asked impatiently, seemingly eager to try.

“As I mentioned last time, this time we’ll directly attempt the Lv80 dungeon.” Yu Zhun paused slightly before continuing, “I’ve been checking out the Lv80 dungeon recently.”

"We've roughly selected two copies as backups."

"Now let's see which one you want to go into."

As he spoke, Yu Zhun handed a stack of documents to Lu Wen, Helmod, and Udir.

"Too many words, I won't read them." Lu Wen was the most nonchalant. He took the documents and tossed them aside without even glancing at them. "Whichever you go to, I'll go."

Yu Zhun gave him a strange look.

This guy seems to have become even more reckless since he entered the Death Pit last time.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"【Forbidden Ruins】?" Helmod looked at the first Lv80 dungeon Yu Zhun had chosen, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes. "Why did you choose this dungeon?"

“We are quite familiar with this instance,” Yu Zhun said with a smile.

Previously, when Zhu Xiuming re-entered the second-tier dungeon, the first one he entered was the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods]. Although this dungeon was quite difficult, the nine supreme experts had thoroughly studied it and had a lot of experience.

"This dungeon is no simple matter." His expression became more serious. "[Forbidden Ruins of the Gods] used to be a top 100 god-level area, and its ranking was quite high."

"At its peak, this server had over a hundred third-tier powerhouses."

"So many?" Udyr exclaimed in surprise. "Can a server like this really become a dungeon?"

“Normally, it shouldn’t happen,” Helmod shook his head helplessly, “but this server is a bit unlucky.”

"Because...it offended the First God Zone."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun and the others were immediately taken aback.

The First Divine Zone…

Their only impression of this divine region was roughly that of Ji Chen, the first divine son of the divine region, with whom they had once clashed.

The opponent was so strong that it took all five of them to barely defeat him. For Yu Zhun and the others, the psychological trauma he caused was no less than that of Dong Tu when they first met.

Of course, now that Yu Zhun and the others have all raised their talents to X4 level, they won't be intimidated at all if they see Ji Chen again.

"The First God Zone sent a large number of third-tier powerhouses to attack it, and it is said that the God Zone King, who has reached the ninth level of godhood, also made a move." Helmod shook his head slightly. "Under these circumstances, that server was simply powerless to resist and could only become a dungeon in the end."

"For this reason, the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods] can almost be described as a graveyard for third-tier powerhouses. It contains a large number of terrifying restrictions and rules. If it weren't for the suppression of the dungeon's strength, it would be impossible for someone of our strength to enter it safely."

Helmod paused slightly, "However, because of this, it is rumored that there are the legacy of a third-tier expert in the [Forbidden Ruins of Gods]. It is an extra reward in addition to the dungeon rewards. Once someone obtains it, it will never appear again."

"Even now, many second-class players still choose to explore the [Forbidden Ruins] because of this rumor."

Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

This point was mentioned by Zhu Xiuming and others in their strategy guide.

Even Patina, the ninth strongest of the nine supreme beings, [Eternal Winter], received the inheritance of a powerful being in the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods].

"Overall, this dungeon is worth watching, but due to its background, it's quite dangerous," Helmod said, casually flipping through the second document Yu Zhun had taken out.

His expression froze slightly after seeing the name of the instance.

"Lv80 dungeon [Nightmare of the Underworld]?"

He suddenly looked at Yu Zhun, "Are you sure?"

“We can give it a try.” Yu Zhun smiled, a strange glint in his eyes.

There are three second-tier dungeons that existed when the world of Divine Revelation was created, corresponding to Lv70, Lv80 and Lv90 respectively.

【Nightmare of the Underworld】 is that level 80 dungeon.

If that were the only reason, Yu Zhun might not have chosen it.

What interests Yu Zhun even more is…

It is said that although this instance is a permanent instance, it shares the same style as the [Netherworld Trial] and [Netherworld Abyss] instances.
