Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 532: Chapter 531, Meeting the Conditions to Become the God of Destruction_1

Angelina asked, "Bakar, who’s that with you?"

"Can’t you tell? This is my new lover. He’s now at Level 400 and needs to consume experience orbs to grow."

"How many has it been?"

"They’re just experience orbs. The poor girl has a hard time raising her Level. As the kind-hearted Bakar, isn’t it only right for me to help a sweet young thing raise her Level?" Bakar said, completely unconcerned.

Angelina was speechless. She left with Jiang Chen.

Just as they stepped out of the room, a butler approached with a smile. "Miss Angelina, the Master is waiting for you in the conference room."

"I know. Jiang Chen, I’ll take you to my room."

"The Master also mentioned," the butler added, "that he wishes to meet the guest you’ve brought back."

Angelina nodded. "Alright."

The two followed the butler.

The butler smiled. "Hello, Jiang Chen. My name is Roland, and I’m the butler of the Bruce Family. The All Gods have high praise for you."

Jiang Chen could feel the Power of Laws within Roland’s body.

He asked, "Are you a Divine as well?"

"I am not a Divine. I haven’t condensed a God’s Seal yet," Roland replied. "Possessing the Power of Laws doesn’t automatically make one a Divine; it only qualifies as a Demigod."

This fellow is quite skilled!

Angelina explained, "To be considered a Divine, one must condense a God’s Seal. To do so requires the power of one hundred million Laws."

"Jiang Chen, you’ve condensed the Law of Destruction. To become a Divine, you need to condense one hundred million strands of the Law of Destruction. Right now, you possess one strand of the Law of Destruction."

"You will follow the path of Destruction from now on."

Vordak? One hundred million strands of the Law of Destruction? Where the hell am I supposed to find one hundred million strands of the Law of Destruction? It seems becoming a Divine isn’t as simple as I thought.

The God’s Seal Jiang Chen had obtained, however, was a complete manifestation of the Power of Laws.

Angelina continued, "They can be exchanged for using Merit Points. In the warehouse on the Continent of All-Gods, you can find the Law of Destruction as well as other types of Power of Laws."

"Twenty strands of ordinary Law can be exchanged for one strand of the Law of Destruction."

Umm... That’s the same as what Dianne said: twenty God’s Seals to exchange for your own specific God’s Seal. Obtaining even one God’s Seal is already incredibly difficult, and now it’s twenty? Am I supposed to hunt down other Divines? Isn’t that just asking for death?

Of course, if the chance arose, I could use one God’s Seal I find to exchange for a God’s Seal aligned with my own Law. For example, if someone possessed the Law of Devouring but also had a Seal of Destruction, I could trade. But such chances are exceedingly slim. How could that even happen? If others had a God’s Seal I needed, they wouldn’t trade with me. ’You become a God, while I remain a Demigod? Absolutely not!’ they’d think...

Roland chuckled. "Actually, such exchange terms are quite unfair. You could try looking for your specific Law in the black market. If I may be so bold, what Law does the God’s Seal you obtained correspond to?"

Jiang Chen chuckled. "That’s a tough question. I didn’t even get a chance to study it before Bai Yun snatched it away."

Heh, trying to get information from me, kiddo? You’re still too inexperienced...

Roland smiled, not pressing further, and led them into the conference room.

Inside, only one person was present: a middle-aged man, Angelina’s father, Roselle Bruce.

Roselle watched them enter and smiled. "Please, have a seat."

He then looked at Jiang Chen. "Level 500?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for looking after my daughter in the Lower Realm. As a Priest, she is quite vulnerable before becoming a Divine. As repayment, it was only right for us to help you raise your Level. Ascending to Demigod, however, will be up to you."

"I am powerless to assist further in that regard, but I believe you can achieve it."

This old man... is he my future father-in-law? He seems quite amiable. But I wonder, is he also after the God’s Seal? After all, it’s a complete God’s Seal. Possessing it would allow a Demigod to become a Divine. That would mean another Divine for the Bruce Family.

Angelina said, "Father, Jiang Chen’s God’s Seal was stolen by Bai Yun!"

Roselle nodded. "I know. Bai Yun... the one who makes even Divines tremble. He’s the son of Divine King Laines—a temperamental young man."

"Just like you were when you were young, Angelina, during your rebellious phase, always thinking you were the most powerful. I trust he will eventually return to the Continent of All-Gods."

"After all, he is the son of a Divine King. Lady Laines certainly doesn’t want her son causing mischief indefinitely."

Jiang Chen was startled.

Divine King Laines? Who is that? So Bai Yun’s background is that prestigious? Listening to Roselle, it sounds like Bai Yun is the son of a realm’s ruler, an emperor’s son—a rebellious son who doesn’t want to inherit the throne, one who only dreams of roaming the world with his sword. What the hell...

Roselle, noticing Jiang Chen’s confusion, explained, "On the Continent of All-Gods, there are ten Divine Kings. In the outside world, they are known as Lords."

"Bai Yun is the son of one of these Divine Kings, Laines."

"His real name isn’t Bai Yun, it’s Landon. He’s... different from other Divines. He enjoys traveling far and wide, which eventually led him to the Wanderers’ Alliance."

"By a stroke of fate, he became the Sword God."

"Divine King Laines had hoped he would lead the Wanderers to join the Alliance of All-Gods. Unfortunately... he betrayed the Alliance of All-Gods."

Roselle paused, then asked, "Do you know why?"

Jiang Chen asked, "Why?"

"For a woman," Roselle said, a hint of disdain in his voice. "A woman who believed in love. Don’t you find that laughable?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback. Laughable? It doesn’t seem laughable at all! Well... perhaps in the eyes of those on the Continent of All-Gods, it *is* quite ridiculous.

Roselle continued, "Divine King Laines is also keeping an eye on her son. I’ve heard you’re on good terms with him. She hopes you can persuade Bai Yun to return to the Continent of All-Gods."

"Naturally, as a reward, Lady Laines will ensure you become the God of Destruction and provide you with a complete Seal of Destruction."

Damn it... This task is even more daunting than becoming a Divine! I’ve only met Bai Yun once or twice, but I know his character. If he wanted to return, he would have done so long ago. Why would he listen to me? No wonder none of the Divines from the Continent of All-Gods, like Lilith, ever confronted Bai Yun directly. He’s the son of a Divine King! Messing with him would be suicide!

Jiang Chen said awkwardly, "I’m afraid I’m not capable enough for that. If you want Bai Yun to return to the Continent of All-Gods, you’d need the woman he loves to persuade him."

Roselle nodded. "I anticipated you might say that. And so, Bai Yun’s woman is already here."

He clapped his hands.

A woman emerged from an adjacent room.

Jiang Chen looked at her.

She’s... very ordinary. Not particularly striking in appearance, certainly not comparable to Angelina, Lilith, or the others. Pretty, perhaps, but in a common way—the kind of woman you’d see countless times on any street. This is Bai Yun’s beloved? I suppose everyone has their own tastes... Is this really love?

"Hello, my name is Li Qinglian," the woman said softly.

"Jiang Chen."

"Is... Bai Yun doing well?" she asked, a hint of hope in her voice.

"Uh... yes, he’s doing quite well," Jiang Chen replied.

Roselle smiled. "The God King has given me a task. After some consideration, I believe you should be the one to take Li Qinglian to Bai Yun. As for what he chooses... that is beyond our control."

At that moment, it all clicked for Jiang Chen. If Bai Yun returned, I would obtain the Seal of Destruction and become the God of Destruction. If Bai Yun didn’t return... I’d get absolutely nothing.
