Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 639: Chapter 638, Zhao Yuyan’s Death, Jiang Chen’s Suspicion_1

Tao Haiwang whispered, "Let’s talk over here."

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. Could it really be that I can’t even enter the Sword Pavilion?

Jiang Chen asked, "Where is Zhao Yuyan!"

Tao Haiwang lowered his head. "Dead."

"How did she die?"

"Killed by a Divine in the Battlefield of the Gods."

"And what’s going on with the Sword Pavilion?"

Tao Haiwang said, "Master, after you left, we all followed your orders and gathered the Wanderers. Among them was a Wanderer named Zhuang Maobin, who is now the Master of Sword Pavilion."

Who the hell is this guy, popping up from nowhere?

「Thirty years had passed.」

Many Wanderers became Divines. Among them emerged impressive figures like Zhuang Maobin, who joined the Sword Pavilion, defeated seventeen Sword Pavilion experts, and became the Master of Sword Pavilion.

Besides Zhuang Maobin, there were other Wanderer Gods.

Jiang Chen spoke coldly, "What you’re saying is that the Sword Pavilion has changed hands? And I am no longer the Master of Sword Pavilion?"

Tao Haiwang looked deeply embarrassed. "Master, Zhuang Maobin was chosen by us. He defeated us and naturally became the new Master. You know that the Sword Pavilion cannot be without a leader."

"After Master Zhao died, the other sixteen Divines fought over the position of Master of Sword Pavilion, even coming to blows."

"If not for the Alliance of All-Gods intervening, the Sword Pavilion might have disbanded long ago."

"To settle the disturbance, the Alliance of All-Gods held a duel ceremony, in which any Divine member of the Sword Pavilion could participate."

"That Zhuang Maobin outperformed all and became the Master of Sword Pavilion."

"Master, we were out of options!"

"You were absent for so long, and with Zhao Yuyan dead, a new Master naturally had to be chosen. Otherwise, how could the Sword Pavilion remain united?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand. I will investigate this thoroughly."

Jiang Chen turned and left, then contacted Lilith.

「Inside the God’s Temple」

Lilith looked at Jiang Chen. "Where have you been? I haven’t seen you for so long, I thought you were dead!"

"I was in retreat."

"You Wanderers are always going into retreat. Have you become a Divine?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

After thirty years in retreat, he had finally achieved Divine status, becoming the God of Destruction.

Jiang Chen said, "I want to know what’s going on with the Sword Pavilion. And how did Zhao Yuyan die? Do you know?"

Lilith shook her head. "I’m not sure, but I know that the current master of the Jian Pavilion Legion is Zhuang Maobin. This guy is very powerful; he defeated seventeen Divines from the Sword Pavilion twenty years ago."

"Are you back now thinking of fighting for the Sword Pavilion?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "It’s not about fighting for the Sword Pavilion. I originally created the Jian Pavilion Legion just for Wanderers to join the Sword Pavilion, to unite the Wanderers."

"As for power, I don’t care about it at all. Legion leader, Divine, none of it matters to me."

What does it mean to become a Divine? There are Lords above! And even more powerful beings above the Lords. Only by truly standing at the pinnacle does one have the power to protect oneself. Thinking of controlling the Alliance of All-Gods through sheer numbers? That’s impossible.

Jiang Chen felt that Zhao Yuyan’s death was suspicious; the Alliance of All-Gods was equally shadowed by all sorts of conspiracies and backstabbing. The God’s Seal—that’s a tremendous temptation. Everyone wants to climb higher.

Tao Haiwang said Zhao Yuyan went to the Battlefield of the Gods? Jiang Chen didn’t believe it. She was a Divine, having already assimilated the Spatial Seal; why would she go to the Battlefield of the Gods? For no reason? To seek death? Jiang Chen had once told her that the Battlefield of the Gods was very dangerous; he believed Zhao Yuyan would not go there.

Lilith shook her head. "I don’t know about that, but Zhao Yuyan is indeed dead."

"How do you know?"

Lilith explained, "It’s simple. Every Divine who joins the Alliance of All-Gods is recorded and leaves behind their Life Plate, which is entrusted to the Temple of All-Gods. Once they die, it will shatter."

"Her Life Plate shattered, so naturally, she is dead."

"You are already the God of Destruction, possessing your own God’s Seal. It will be the same for you; you will leave your Life Plate at the Temple of All-Gods."

"The Temple of All-Gods announced the news; she was, indeed, dead."

"The death of a Divine is a minor matter. Many Divines die in battle, so there’s no need to make a fuss over it."

Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand."

Jiang Chen left the Divine Palace and looked for Jiang Qiu. After Jiang Qiu’s promotion to a Divine, she was granted a palace. Jiang Chen quickly went to her Divine Palace.

Every Divine has a God’s Temple of their own. It was the same for Jiang Chen.

「Inside Jiang Qiu’s Divine Palace.」

Alice and the others were also there.

"Jiang Chen, you’ve finally returned!"

"Where have you been all these years? We couldn’t reach you."

Jiang Chen replied, "I was in closed-door cultivation, looking for a method to condense the God’s Seal. Are you no longer in the Sword Pavilion?"

The five nodded.

"Yes, we’re not in the Sword Pavilion anymore."

"The Sword Pavilion belongs to the Wanderers, and that Zhuang Maobin guy kicked us out of the team."

"We were waiting for you to come back and uphold justice for us!"

"Little brother, go take out that Zhuang Maobin fellow! This guy is very arrogant and has snatched away the Sword Pavilion you established. We’ll back you up."

"This guy has a very high standing in the Sword Pavilion now, surpassing Bai Yun, even surpassing you. He has even created his own set of Skills, which are very powerful."

This Zhuang Maobin is interesting, creating his own Skills; it seems like he is a genius.

Most Wanderers study Jiang Chen’s Grand River Sword Intent, Bai Yun’s Heaven Cutting Swords Technique, and other Cultivation Techniques. These are all top-notch techniques, and anyone who can create their own Martial Arts Skill is definitely a strong figure.

Jiang Chen said, "We’ll talk about this matter later. As for the Sword Pavilion, I’m not particularly concerned about it."

"Can you really swallow this insult?"

"Well, we can’t."

"Little brother, why do you seem so much more timid now that you’re back?"

This was the challenging question on their minds. However, Alice sided with Jiang Chen. "Little brother has his own thoughts. I think what little brother means is that he wants to ascend to being a Lord before addressing it. Little brother has already become a Divine, and above Divines are Lords."

"It’s Divine King, not Divine," someone remarked.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Alice still understands me best. What does strife between Divines matter? After ascending to Divine King, I’ll reclaim everything. There’s no need to fight Zhuang Maobin right now."

Muriel asked, "So when will you become a Lord?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Not so soon."

The others fell silent. Lords stood above Divines. On the Continent of All-Gods, there were thousands of Divines but only thirteen Lords. This illustrated how difficult it was to ascend from Divine to Lord.

Demigods only need to refine a God’s Seal to ascend to godhood. This is very easy, as long as they possess one.

But ascending to Lord is extremely difficult; the Alliance of All-Gods itself has only thirteen!

Jiang Chen had already found the method. But now was still too early. He still needed time for cultivation.

Jiang Chen asked, "Has anything major happened these years?"

Jiang Qiu laughed. "Nothing much. After we became Divines, we felt there was nothing to do, just drinking every day, like we’d lost something."

"We’ve lost our goal. Our hope used to be ascending to godhood; now that we’ve become gods, we have no more goals or pursuits."

"Probably the same as the other Divines on the Continent of All-Gods—eating, drinking, and frolicking."

Alice teased.
