The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

[Heavenly Sin]: Having offended Heaven, there is nowhere to pray. The very source of the Abyss is envied by Heaven and Earth. After becoming the Lord of the Abyss, you will permanently suffer the following negative effects:

Effect 1: Eclipse - Your health decreases by 10% per second, and all recovery skills and items are reduced by 80%.

Effect 2: Wrath of Heaven, the experience required for you to level up is increased to 1000% of the original amount.

Effect 3: Heaven's Jealousy. Your hidden attribute Luck value is fixed at 1. You will only get basic drops from monsters. You will only maintain a minimum success rate when making potions, crafting items, opening treasure chests, or gathering materials.

Effect 4: Heavenly Curse. Your level will drop by 10 levels upon death, and all equipment except bound equipment will be dropped.

Effect 5: Abandoned by Heaven. You are unable to form or join any gang, guild, mercenary group, adventure team, etc. Players in your party will also be affected by the Abandoned by Heaven effect until the party is terminated.

Effect Six: Divine Punishment - You will be unable to learn any skills from skill books, career mentors, etc., except for those you already possess.

Effect 7: Divine retribution, your pain level will be fixed at 100%.

"Damn it..."

Seeing the terrifying state of the seven Heavenly-ranked warriors, Huan Cheng was completely stunned, and his previous excitement vanished!

Is this the price Ao Qing mentioned for changing to a special profession? Isn't this price a bit too high?

Aside from having already decided to be a lone wolf, the "five-day effect" didn't have much of an impact on him; any of the other factors could be fatal.

The difficulty of leveling up has increased tenfold, you lose ten levels for every death, your luck stat is fixed at 1, and you cannot learn skills...

Any one of these can drive an average player to despair, and when combined, they're a disaster!

Especially the last one, where the pain level is always set to 100%, is absolutely killer.

Huan Cheng's pain level has always been the lowest setting of 5%, which is also the standard choice for the vast majority of players.

In the pain level adjustment section of the system panel, the maximum pain level that players can choose is only 50%.

According to the official explanation of the game, excessive pain can affect the player's physical and mental health, so the pain limit is set at 50%.

The Heavenly Sin characteristic directly broke through this theoretical limit, bringing it to 100%. Who can you reason with about this?

At 5% pain level, being pierced through the chest by a goblin thrower's stone spear felt about the same as being punched hard in real life.

If it were increased twentyfold...

Thinking of this, Huan Cheng's face turned pale!

"Damn, this is too much of a rip-off..." After a long moment of stunned silence, Huan Cheng gave a bitter smile, his face full of anguish.

The system clearly states that the Lord of the Abyss class is permanently bound, and even deleting the account and starting over cannot change this.

Unless Huan Cheng never comes into contact with the divine realm again for the rest of his life, he will forever bear this series of terrifying punishments.

With a deathly pale face, Huan Cheng turned off the attribute introduction, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

He had planned to grind monsters and level up after changing jobs, but with 100% pain, he simply didn't have the courage to leave the city.

If he doesn't go monster hunting, he has nothing to do.

With a fixed luck value of 1, even the path of switching to a life profession is blocked.

After thinking for a moment, Huan Cheng turned around and returned to the Warriors' Guild.

Ao Qing had promised to come to him if anything came up, so Huan Cheng decided to give it a shot and ask for his opinion. Huan Cheng didn't believe that other special professions also grew up with so many terrifying debuffs.

Within minutes, Huan Cheng returned to the Temple of Warriors and successfully met Ao Qing.

Ao Qing was also surprised by Huan Cheng's return and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else, young friend?"

Huan Cheng didn't stand on ceremony and explained the major effects of Tianzui one by one.

Hearing what Huan Cheng said, Ao Qing remained quite calm and comforted him with a smile: "Young friend, everything is preordained. The Lord of the Abyss is a god-level profession inherited from Senior Ji, so it is only natural that it is more difficult to grow."

"Furthermore, apart from the 10% health reduction per second, the rest are minor issues and won't stop you."

"A minor problem?" Huan Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, his voice rising several decibels: "You call this a minor problem?"

Ao Qing was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that you are an extraordinary person, quite different from us."

"Please be patient and let me explain slowly!"

After calming Huan Cheng down, Ao Qing asked, "Young friend, do you know why Senior Ji only told you about the Heavenly Eclipse beforehand, while ignoring the others?"

Emotionally, Huan Cheng wanted to angrily call Ji a big liar, but reason told him that Ji wouldn't be so bored as to tease him.

Controlling his emotions, Huan Cheng spoke up: "Please enlighten me, President."

"In Senior Ji's opinion, apart from the Heavenly Eclipse, everything else can be ignored!" Ao Qing said slowly.

Before Huan Cheng could react, Ao Qing continued, "Young friend, which of the remaining six punishments do you find most unacceptable?"

"Divine retribution!" Without hesitation, Huan Cheng gritted his teeth and spoke.

Ao Qing smiled and said, "With the protection of the Supreme Goddess, those who die can be resurrected at a very low cost, and they also have the privilege of being able to block out pain."

"So, what is the price for all of this?"

"Price? What price?" Huan Cheng was taken aback, not understanding.

Ao Qing shook his head and slowly said, "I shouldn't be telling you this now, but since you've gained Senior Ji's approval, it's fine to tell you in advance."

"The protection of the supreme goddess grants special privileges to the superhumans, but at the same time deprives them of the possibility of becoming true powerhouses."

"Without relinquishing these rights, the Gold rank remains an insurmountable ceiling for any superhuman!"

"Gold level? Ceiling? What does that mean?" Huan Cheng frowned slightly and asked repeatedly.

"Excuse me, what is the upper limit of your career growth coefficient?"

"The upper limit of career growth coefficient?" Huan Cheng was stunned for a moment, recalling the system notification from before.

Huan Cheng glanced at the system panel and said, "Limit 2.0, what's wrong?"

"2.0?!!"

Upon hearing this number, the usually calm and collected Ao Qing abruptly stood up, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Huan Cheng as if he were a monster!

"No wonder, no wonder... no wonder Senior Ji was able to sweep away the Abyss Demon Army back then!" Ao Qing swallowed, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Meeting Huan Cheng's curious gaze, Ao Qing calmed himself down and explained, "After officially taking up your post, everyone will have a career growth coefficient, which, along with your level, directly determines your final attributes."

With Ao Qing's explanation, Huan Cheng finally understood what the career growth coefficient was and why Ao Qing was so shocked.

Once everyone, including the indigenous people, officially takes up a job, their attributes will be divided into two parts: basic attributes and combat attributes.

The basic attributes are the attribute points gained per level. Before Huan Cheng changed jobs, he had 10 points per level, which increased to 20 points per level after changing jobs to Lord of the Abyss.

However, even with these attributes, reaching level 100 only yields a mere two thousand points of total attributes, while ordinary players only have one thousand.

Compared to the attack and defense stats of level 100 monsters, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions, this level of attribute is not even enough to fill a tooth gap!

Humans fight monsters by relying on their combat attributes!

According to Ao Qing's introduction, the formula for calculating a character's combat attributes is: base attribute × class growth coefficient ^ (level/10).

In short, players start with a class growth coefficient of 1, which increases by 0.1 every ten levels.

However, this growth coefficient is not infinitely high. Different professions have different upper limits. The upper limit for ordinary professions is 1.2, which means that once you reach level 20, the growth coefficient will no longer increase if your profession remains the same.

For special professions, the maximum growth coefficient increases by 0.1 for each star level, with a maximum growth coefficient of 1.7 for five-star professions.
