Chapter 1092: Chapter 796: Find a Deity_3

After all, this world was designed with long-term maintenance in mind, and players wouldn’t become gods casually. A few years? A few decades wouldn’t be enough.

Otherwise, why say max level is just the beginning? After reaching max level, players still have additional career evaluations.

Compared to a max-level swordsman, a max-level sword saint is worlds apart. Same max level, but the former would just get hammered by the latter.

In the information Lilith acquired, there were many details about True Gods. Some of them were beautiful or adorable, fitting the ideal fantasies of many guys and girls, just like virtual idols.

Although those True Gods wouldn’t do the things virtual idols do, their appearance alone made them incredibly popular with fans.

In contrast, within the Evil Faction, although there were those devilishly charming True Gods, the proportion of scary-looking ones or those who were clearly bad guys was higher. Of course, there were quite a few sorceress-type True Gods in the Evil Faction as well...

At this stage, Zheng Yichen definitely wouldn’t go looking for those True Gods who had massive ’fan bases.’ His goal wasn’t to antagonize the players of this virtual world but to resolve some troubles within it.

He preferred targeting those whose image was bad, reputation worse, and who were clearly destined to become bosses for players to fight down the line.

Even if his actions caused too big a commotion and drew the attention of Boundary Breakers, that would still get categorized as a player’s behavior. Other players would react by expressing sentiments like: "What?! Some player actually succeeded in god-slaying already??"

Then they’d investigate which god had died, and once they confirmed it wasn’t one of the gods they personally liked, they wouldn’t care too much. At most, they’d start plotting how to take out other gods whose appearances weren’t to their liking.

Someone succeeded ahead of them, which meant they had a chance too, right? Besides, demigod players were already a thing. Those players were eager to take the next step forward.

Zheng Yichen could even use this opportunity to collaborate with those players, provide them with some ’god-slaying’ strategies, and do a bit of trading.

He’d think about that later. Based on his usual habits, Zheng Yichen rarely sought out unfamiliar teammates during operations. He was used to flying solo, and for matters of importance, he still felt he could rely on himself more.

On the contrary, if he went after those gods who were handsome or beautiful yet had good reputations...

Zheng Yichen could already picture the scenes of mobs of enraged players forming endless parties to raid him, and if they couldn’t beat him, they could always hire someone to assassinate him... It’s the virtual world, after all, with endless ways for players to interact.

"What a hassle," Tanshia Firlo pouted with a miserable expression, feeling overwhelmed by Zheng Yichen’s planning.

"This is just to proactively avoid unnecessary trouble. If we had more time, you could easily pull in a massive fan base yourself," Zheng Yichen replied with a grin to Tanshia Firlo.

The small white dragon’s red eyes shifted around. "I’m not interested in that. If I really did, you’d probably end up being my number-one fan, right?"

"Haha, absolutely," Zheng Yichen laughed as he hoisted Tanshia Firlo onto his shoulder. With a wave of his hand, a holographic map appeared in front of them. Staring at the marked zones, he pointed to one spot. "Let’s go here."

The marked location was a city that worshipped a Death-type True God. The place often experienced divine miracles and was an excellent entry point for invading the Divine Realm.

On the way to the invasion, he could also take care of a few bosses, accumulating more skill books or talent items.

Just because he didn’t need them now didn’t mean they’d be useless later.

After accessing the true core of the virtual world, Zheng Yichen had Lilith initiate a Malicious Erosion invasion. At that point, those items would slowly come into play.

Once the invasion reached a certain level, Lilith could gain more permissions and prevent their skills from being erased or retaliated against within the virtual world.

At that time, the enemies they encountered could experience what it truly meant to break through during combat.

With the corresponding access rights obtained by Lilith, Zheng Yichen would only need to keep slapping more skill books onto himself.

Active skills might not be as effective, but passive skills offered immediate enhancements, so he needed to accumulate more of them beforehand.

Glancing at his attribute panel, as a max-level entity, his blue bar still couldn’t compare to Tanshia Firlo’s, whose capacity was over ten times greater. However, when it came to Life Value, the situation was reversed.

Upon activating Essence of Life within the virtual world, killing a few higher-level wild monsters would increase his maximum Life Value...

Additionally, there were Life Points, a manifestation of Essence of Life in data form, which had been slightly corrected by Lilith.

Otherwise, the displayed information would just be a bunch of gibberish.

With their data protected by Lilith, the virtual world couldn’t fully read their information.

The Life Points granted by Essence of Life could be utilized by Zheng Yichen in other ways within the virtual world.

He could consume Life Force to revive certain lifeforms. For weaker ones, just spending Life Value would suffice, but boss-level lifeforms would require Life Points.

His ability to achieve this stemmed from a trait he’d recently acquired called ’Ark of Life.’

However, without his fishing rod in hand, fully reviving a lifeform was challenging, as he lacked the soul to sustain it. Revived creatures would quickly go berserk.

Moreover, resurrected lifeforms wouldn’t be under Zheng Yichen’s control, which made this seemingly powerful skill within the virtual world rather useless to him.

He wasn’t following a summoner path anyway—use it on Tanshia Firlo?

They were operating here as players, after all. If they died, they’d just re-enter the game.

No need to go that far.

However, since Zheng Yichen was taking the challenge path, dying during this time was absolutely not an option. One death would mean all his progress was lost. Tanshia Firlo, following Zheng Yichen’s King of Mercenaries path, also couldn’t afford to die.

Players might not experience true death in the virtual world, but for certain NPCs, a player’s death would be recorded.

While Ark of Life had limited use here, Zheng Yichen found it intriguing. He could sense that if he could fully ’record’ the Life Imprint of certain creatures within the virtual world, he might even attempt to resurrect them in reality.
