Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 637: Chapter 636, Returning to the Small World-1

Two pairs of eyes met.

What a crock of shit, these fortune tellers. Jiang Chen didn’t believe in prophecies, much less in what this man said.

To make him a Divine, to become a Lord, to become Supreme.

It’s all a trap, leading me step by step into a trap.

Jiang Chen even suspected that the person before him might be the Master of Destiny, the most mysterious existence on the Battlefield of the Gods.

The Fortune Teller shook his head and sighed, "Why won’t young people believe?"

"I only believe in myself."

Jiang Chen turned and left, no longer lingering.

The old man watched Jiang Chen depart, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

「In the tavern...」

Jiang Chen searched for his master, but Lin Yangze was not there.

He then turned and left.

「Tattens Hills.」

This was the place where Jiang Chen once trained.

Jiang Chen stepped into the bar. Ba Jie stood at the counter. The bar was filled with many Heroes. Nowadays, Wanderers were considered Heroes too.

These people were gathered in groups of two or three, drinking.

Clearly, the Wanderers had already integrated into this world and joined the Alliance of All-Gods.

"The Wanderers are really something! Sweeping through monsters with their Sword Qi, they level up incredibly fast!"

"Yeah, if only we could sweep through everything with Sword Qi like the Wanderers."

"Nowadays, Wanderers are so in demand that it’s almost embarrassing to venture out without one in your party."

"Their focused Attack Power is very strong and can even cause bleeding effects."

"Wanderers are a new class, and now all the major academies are recruiting Wanderer students!"

Ba Jie was mixing drinks. Seeing a familiar face, he laughed, "Jiang Chen, what brings you here?"

A God of Destruction? What’s he doing in a Lesser World? Ba Jie was greatly surprised.

Jiang Chen walked over and smiled, "I came back to take a look, and I’m also looking for a place to stay."

"You just became a Divine and you’re already back? That’s not like you!"

"I’m not a Divine yet; there’s still a way to go. Give me a Bloody Mary."

"Coming right up..."

With a few deft movements, Ba Jie quickly mixed a Bloody Mary and slid it in front of Jiang Chen.

Looking at the familiar drink, it’s as if I’ve returned to the past. Just like the first time I tried this concoction.

GULP... GULP...

Ba Jie asked, "Not used to staying in the Upper Realm?"

"I’m a bit uncomfortable there. I’m looking for a place to find some peace and quiet, and to contemplate a few things," Jiang Chen said openly.

He had come to the Lower Realm primarily to understand how to condense the Seal of Destruction—not by relying on the Destiny Fruit, but by comprehending the power of Destruction on his own. That was his true purpose. He also wanted to return and see how things were.

Jiang Chen asked, "Ever thought about going to the Upper Realm?"

Ba Jie shook his head. "I’ve never thought about it. The Lower Realm is good. I’m working hard and living a decent life. Why bother with the Upper Realm? It’s quite good here."

"What about becoming a God?"

"Become a God? It’s not that easy. I’m only at the Seventh-stage now, equivalent to Level 350. There’s still a long way to go. However, joining the Alliance of All-Gods should make leveling up easier."

"Wanderers have one special ability over Heroes: they can level up by consuming food."

Jiang Chen nodded. "What about Wanderer equipment?"

"It’s Swordsman gear. It increases defensive power and Attack Power, just like a Hero’s. It took a while to get used to, but it’s fine now."

"Now, the academies are all recruiting Wanderers. Any Wanderer can go straight to Dragon God Academy."

"In a few more years, a large number of Wanderers will emerge."

Jiang Chen said, "Your master returned to the Continent of All-Gods, and the other disciples are there too. It’s a shame you’re not with them..."

"If you were to go back, you could quickly advance your Realm and ascend to become a Divine."

Ba Jie shook his head. "I’ll go when I feel like it. I quite like being a bar owner. As for becoming a Divine, I wouldn’t know the first thing about it!"

"Haha... Boss, you still want to be a Divine, huh!"

"That’s for Level 500s. They’re all up there; they wouldn’t deign to come down here."

"Boss, I heard you’re a Wanderer too. How about you take us under your wing?"

"Boss, what level are you?"

The people at the nearest table, having heard Ba Jie’s comments, asked these questions.

Ba Jie laughed. "Let me tell you all a joke."

The group listened intently.

"The person standing before you is a Divine."

No sooner had he said this than they burst out laughing.

"A Divine?"

"He’s a Divine? I don’t see it!"

"If he’s a Divine, then I’m a Divine too!"

"Boss, that joke isn’t funny at all!"

Jiang Chen drank his alcohol. He was once just like them, a Hero.

Ba Jie asked, "What about Angelina?"

"We split up."

"Want me to find you someone for the night?"

"Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

The two shared a laugh.

PATTER. PATTER. PATTER...

A little girl came pattering over and said to Ba Jie, "Daddy, Mommy says you need to come home..."

Jiang Chen looked at Ba Jie, astonished.

Ba Jie smiled. "I’ll head home in a bit."

"Your daughter?"

"Yeah."

"No wonder you don’t want to go to the Upper Realm. So, you have a family now! Congratulations..."

Ba Jie smiled and said to his daughter, "This is your Uncle Jiang."

The little girl looked at Jiang Chen and said in a sweet, child-like voice, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello. What’s your name?"

"My name is Lin Xiaoxiao."

"Xiaoxiao, you’re a very good girl."

The little girl looked at Jiang Chen with innocent eyes and asked, "Are you a friend of my dad’s?"

"Yes."

"Why have I never seen you before?"

"Uncle just got back."

Ba Jie picked up the little girl and said, "Jiang Chen, why don’t you come to my place for dinner?"

Jiang Chen considered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."

Ba Jie gave some instructions to another bartender who took his place. Jiang Chen then followed Ba Jie out of the bar, and they headed towards a nearby residential complex.

Looking at the residential complex, Jiang Chen thought, this is what life is. The life of an ordinary person.

Ba Jie asked, "How long are you planning to stay this time?"

"I don’t know, it depends. Maybe a few months, perhaps a few years, or it could even be decades."

Jiang Chen had no certainty regarding the God’s Seal.

Even Divines didn’t know how to condense it.

You can’t just fuse all the Laws into one, like tying strands of hair together. That’s not what the God’s Seal is. The God’s Seal is a square-shaped insignia.

Ba Jie teased, "Why not just get married and have kids then?"

"I don’t have the energy for that right now, nor the desire. At least, not before I become a Divine. Besides, I’m planning to visit some other places first."

"Where?"

"The birthplace of the Wanderers."

"I’ll take you there tomorrow."

"You know the place?"

"I do. It’s a desolate world, not even a shadow of a ghost to be seen. I went there once; I still remember it."

"Just give me the location. I’ll go by myself."

"That place isn’t easy to find, you know!"

「After a night’s rest...」

「Early the next morning.」

Ba Jie took Jiang Chen to the Xileruo World. After entering the Xileruo World, they went into a lesser world Ba Jie remembered from the past.

Ba Jie said, "That place is in the deepest part of a land of ice and snow. There’s a space-time gate there, and the world of the Wanderers is on the other side."
