Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 538: Chapter 537, The Final Decision, Becoming a Wanderer, Giving up the Power of the Badge_1

Lilith said, "You have to understand the painstaking efforts of the Continent of All-Gods, why it stands at the pinnacle of many grand worlds, confronting the Difiled God Continent."

"It is because all Gods are of one heart. Even if you have committed a great wrong, you must always align your heart with the Continent of All-Gods and not harbor any disloyal thoughts."

Jiang Chen nodded. This statement was absolutely right. Even he wouldn’t tolerate others harboring disloyal thoughts.

Lilith continued, "Therefore, becoming the God of Destruction requires decisive action. You may find it difficult to act now, but over time, it will mean nothing to you!"

"You are, after all, the God of Destruction."

"A Divine being needs a firm heart and the resolve to cut down everything to comprehend that level of Realm."

"Divine friends will only become a stumbling block for you."

"Every Divine being is a unique existence, standing at the summit of the world."

"You need to understand the meaning of Destruction."

"Endless Destruction is your ultimate destiny."

Jiang Chen looked at Lilith. He’d originally thought she would ridicule or mock him, but he saw no mockery in her eyes, only the teachings of an elder to a junior. This woman was indeed different.

Lilith smiled. "Did you really think I brought you here for a drink just to make fun of you?"

"Isn’t that why?"

"You’re not even a God. What standing would I have to mock you?"

"I stand corrected."

Lilith asked, "Are you interested in being my lover?"

Jiang Chen laughed. "Is a Divine like yourself still in need of a lover?"

"Mhm, I lack a lover like you. When you look at me, the expression in your eyes is different from others."

Lilith turned to look at the many Ninth-stage Experts and Demigods.

In their eyes, there was fear and envy. Of course, there was another layer of meaning too. Lilith had seen such looks countless times and had long grown tired of them. But Jiang Chen was different. His eyes showed only composure, no fear.

Damn Divines. I don’t give a damn.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Actually, I’m like them. I also want to entice you into bed, but I’m more conservative."

"Why is that?"

"Because I’m a pure man."

Lilith was astonished at first. Then she laughed.

What a pure man.

"So, are you willing?"

"I’m very sorry. It’s not that I disdain you, it’s that I cannot. You should know that a pure man holds no fantasies about your body."

GIGGLE...

Interesting. Conquering a man like this would be truly satisfying.

Everyone in the bar was shocked to hear this.

What? He actually turned her down? The person standing before him is the great Divine Prosecutor Lilith! That’s the highest authority! How could he refuse! Why doesn’t such good fortune ever fall to me? At this moment, it felt as if ten thousand grass mud horses were thundering through their minds...

Lilith nodded. "You are indeed very pure. A young man like you will surely be admired by many, especially by Divines like me."

"So, are you planning to use force?"

"HAHA... I’d like to, but never mind. A melon forced off the vine isn’t sweet."

Jiang Chen responded, "But it still quenches thirst!"

They both laughed. As if by tacit understanding, they clinked glasses and drank.

He didn’t want to ask any more questions. This was his fate, and the All Gods wouldn’t allow him to change his mission. This was the only path he could take. His only hope was shattered. So... Finding Bai Yun was still paramount. But before that, he might as well enjoy himself! A final celebration as a Swordsman.

Becoming a Divine was Jiang Chen’s ultimate dream. But... what about after becoming a Divine? Would he still be subject to constraints? Jiang Chen had originally planned to become a Demigod, comprehend the power of the Divine Domain, and then dissolve the Badge. But that moment hadn’t arrived yet! No Hero could ever deceive the All Gods.

「Inside the hotel.」

Jiang Chen contacted Bai Yun. Fortunately, Jiang Chen had managed to get a communication device from Bai Yun at the last moment.

Jiang Chen: Are you there?

Bai Yun: Did you accept the Demigod mission?

Jiang Chen: Mhm.

Bai Yun: Good. Meet me in the Land of Sin in three days. Afterward, don’t use the communication device to contact me. We’ll talk in person...

Jiang Chen: Okay.

「Three days later...」

「Land of Sin.」

「Inside the tavern.」

Jiang Chen was waiting for Bai Yun. Bai Yun soon arrived, accompanied by Li Qinglian.

Bai Yun said, "I need to have a word with Jiang Chen."

Li Qinglian moved aside, looking out the window...

Bai Yun chuckled. "What are you planning to do? Kill all the Wanderers and destroy the Wanderers’ Alliance? Or are you planning to take the path of a Wanderer?"

"I’m thinking that even if I become the God of Destruction, I’ll ultimately still be under someone’s control. You should know I don’t want to be controlled by anyone—not even the Divine King."

Bai Yun nodded. "It seems you’re just like I was in the beginning!"

"No, I’m not like you. You’re a Second Gen God, while I’m just a mortal."

"Does identity matter? We both want to break free from the control of the All Gods. And I’m now barely halfway out of the Continent of All-Gods."

Jiang Chen knew what Bai Yun was referring to! Li Qinglian. Yes, Bai Yun had stepped back in.

Bai Yun laughed. "Actually, I knew very early on that you and I were similar. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you’d think I was misleading you, so I didn’t. Your choice is the right one."

"Sometimes, you have to go through certain things to see them clearly."

Jiang Chen nodded. "It’s not too late now."

The Continent of All-Gods is like a king. And when the king discovers a restless minister lurking by his side, there are only two paths: either pledge complete loyalty or betray him completely. There are no other options.

Bai Yun asked, "How did Ba Jie become an internal Wanderer?"

"[He] ate a type of fruit," Jiang Chen replied.

"What kind of fruit?" Bai Yun pressed.

"It’s a Strange Fruit capable of stripping away the Badge’s power," Jiang Chen explained.

Bai Yun then said, "I originally wanted you to defect to that fellow Augustus. However, I discovered that the Continent of All-Gods has an even deeper control over the Badge’s power, making it impossible to switch allegiances. So, your only chance now is to become a Wanderer."

Bai Yun stood up. "Let’s go. I’ll take you to the Lower Realm. The world of the Wanderers is actually more wonderful than you think, not as bleak as you imagine."

Jiang Chen got up and followed Bai Yun.

"Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your old friends?" Bai Yun asked.

"Forget it," Jiang Chen replied. "When I return to the Upper Realm, there’ll be plenty of opportunities."

"True enough," Bai Yun agreed.

Wandering the world with a sword in hand—that was Jiang Chen’s dream... Well, alright then... It seemed this was the only way.

Jiang Chen looked towards the Upper Realm.

Upper Realm. I will return.

「Lower Realm.」

「Inside the tavern.」

Ba Jie was still running his tavern. He was shocked to see Jiang Chen and Bai Yun arrive.

"Jiang Chen... Master! What brings you two here?"

"We came to give you some business," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Master, please don’t joke with me. It’s an honor to have you here."

Jiang Chen looked around. They were all mortals and also Wanderers. They had freed themselves from the shackles of the Curse God and had now become true Wanderers.

Ba Jie looked at Jiang Chen. "What level are you now?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "Level 500."

Ba Jie was astounded.

Level 500? Isn’t that Demigod rank? HOLY SHIT... His leveling speed is insane!
