Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 537: Chapter 536, All Gods are Too Calculating_1

Jiang Chen said helplessly, "Some of them are my friends."

"I know. We’ve also looked into it, so this is your task. The Wanderers once hunted you down, have you forgotten?"

"This is your chance for revenge."

"Jiang Chen, don’t try to hide it. You’ve killed Prosecutors from the Alliance of All-Gods, Sons of God, and those who attempted to threaten you."

"Even if your Merit Points are high, the Continent of All-Gods will not accept someone who has betrayed the Alliance of All-Gods."

"To become Divine, you must abandon something."

"Jiang Chen, I ask you once more."

"Do you accept the task? If you do not respond within ten seconds, I will consider it a forfeiture, and I will strip you of your Badge!"

Jiang Chen looked at the Divine before him, wanting to draw his sword and cut him down.

But he could not.

Once he acted in God’s Temple, his fate would be easy to predict.

Everyone has their own beliefs.

Killing those who had once saved him—this was something Jiang Chen could not do.

「Upper-level meeting room of the Temple of All-Gods.」

"Do you think Jiang Chen will agree to this request?"

"He is a descendant of Wanderers, with the blood of Wanderers flowing through his veins. To ascend to become Divine, he will naturally stop at nothing. He should agree."

"What Bai Yun failed to do in the past, it’s now Swordsman Jiang Chen’s turn."

"As long as he accepts the task, all past deeds will be forgiven."

"No one can escape the Continent of All-Gods. The Badge is not just for upgrading Strength; it’s also a means of surveillance."

"He actually thinks he can act without us knowing!"

"This young fellow is truly struggling internally!"

"To become Divine, what are mere friends worth! Even father and son would kill each other."

"Let’s just wait and see!"

At that moment, the Upper-level of the Temple of All-Gods watched Jiang Chen with smiles on their faces, as if observing a small ant struggling desperately.

Would he betray his friends and kill everyone to become Divine?

Or give up the Badge’s Strength and become a dead man?

"9"

"8"

"7"

"5"

.....

"1"

Jiang Chen’s eyes were resolute. "I accept the task."

The Divine smiled.

[Task accepted successfully. Please complete the task as soon as possible.]

Bai Yun had once told him that one day they would become enemies. He hadn’t expected that day to arrive so quickly.

Back then, Bai Yun had also stood here, but he ultimately gave up the Badge’s Strength.

He thoroughly became a Wanderer.

He could not bring himself to draw his sword against his friends.

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, wishing he had never become friends with them.

They are my brothers, my lifesavers.

This job needs a raise...

Jiang Chen walked out of the Temple of All-Gods, lit a cigarette, and watched the people coming and going. He said with a bitter smile, "It seems I can only go find Bai Yun now."

If Jiang Chen didn’t accept the task, he would undoubtedly die. If he refused, the Badge would be taken away, and he would face immediate death.

After accepting the task, Jiang Chen would not die.

Because the task had no time limit.

And he still had a chance to find others and see if he could change the outcome.

If he couldn’t, then there was only one path left: to become a complete Wanderer...

And start to rise again...

Jiang Chen sighed lightly.

He knew he was being played by the All-Gods, and he was powerless to change anything!

Perhaps one day in the future, he would, like Bai Yun, become a complete Wanderer, roaming the world with his sword...

TAP. TAP. TAP.

Lilith approached, smiling as she said, "Isn’t this Jiang Chen? Long time no see! You don’t look so good. Need a drink?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "Are you behind this?"

"Shall we have a drink together?"

"Sure."

「Inside a bar.」

Entering the bar, Jiang Chen felt as though he had returned to old times. The bar was filled with people, but when Jiang Chen walked in following Lilith, everyone gave them a wide berth.

A Divine in a bar!

This was a rare sight!

Jiang Chen looked at Lilith’s petite figure. The bar counter was even taller than her. He teased, "You’re too short. Want me to lift you up?"

Lilith laughed. "Come on then!"

Jiang Chen stepped forward and lifted Lilith.

In the bar, everyone’s eyes widened.

"That’s Lady Lilith! And who is that man? He dares to hold Lilith?"

"Nonsense! That must be Lady Lilith’s lover. How could you not see that? Who knows how many she’s had?"

"If only I could become Lady Lilith’s lover, that would be wonderful."

"Dream on. Lady Lilith’s standards are very high."

"Damn it! Why isn’t it me?"

Jiang Chen made no unnecessary movements. He simply lifted Lilith up and then returned to his own seat, asking, "Do you have a Bloody Mary?"

"Guest, we don’t serve Bloody Marys here."

"Then give me your spiciest liquor."

"Yes, respected guest."

Lilith looked at the man before her. He was different from other men. Others regarded her with respect, and something more.

But this man before her only showed composure.

It was as if holding her was like holding a piece of wood. He treated her like a child.

Lilith laughed. "You are indeed like the Wanderers, just like Bai Yun."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. "Was this your doing, Lady Lilith? We have no grudge. Why are you treating me this way?"

"No, you’re mistaken. This wasn’t my idea; it’s the will of the All-Gods."

"Every single thing you do is recorded by the Badge."

"Helping Wanderers break the Curse Seal, slaying the Prosecutor, killing those who meant you harm... even with your great achievements, none of it can be erased."

"Oh, and your lover, Daphne."

"The Continent of All-Gods will not tolerate betrayers."

"You thought your actions went unnoticed?"

"Little fellow, you’re too naive."

Jiang Chen asked, "Then why don’t you pursue it?"

"Have you ever seen ants fighting? Even if they were on your side, would you bother with them?"

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Mortals are like ants; even Demigods are no different.

The Continent of All-Gods doesn’t intervene simply because they aren’t interested.

Why would the All-Gods bother taking action against a mere mortal!

So naive.

Jiang Chen nodded. This makes too much damn sense.

"I understand. I will complete the task to show my loyalty."

Lilith smiled. "That’s right. You are different from Bai Yun. Back then, Bai Yun was deeply entangled with the Wanderers. In the end, he gave up the Badge’s Strength, completely betrayed the Continent of All-Gods, and even killed more than a dozen Divines."

"That was a huge loss for the Continent of All-Gods. You, however, have made the right choice."

"But don’t worry. Once you’ve killed the masters of the Wanderers’ Alliance, Bai Yun won’t trouble you. He can barely fend for himself right now."

"And once you’ve slain them, Bai Yun will be free of his attachments and will return to the Continent of All-Gods."

Jiang Chen chuckled. "Killing two birds with one stone?"

"No, it’s killing three birds with one stone."

Eliminate the Wanderers, removing their threat.

Bai Yun returns to the Continent of All-Gods.

Jiang Chen becomes the God of Destruction.

Such damned cunning calculations...
