Zhang Yue reached out and grabbed the golden scroll floating before him.
["Ding~ Congratulations, you have obtained the [Divine Scroll]!"]
When Zhang Yue saw the effect description on the scroll in his hand, he was stunned for a full three seconds.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Divine Scroll] (Ultra·Mythic-grade Treasure)
[Description: A scroll sealing the godly power that surpasses the Main God. Opening the scroll grants you an enhancement of godly power, randomly awarding one top-tier evolution...]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
["It's... an Ultra-Mythic-grade treasure?"]
A collective gasp came from everyone watching the screen.
They had expected that after Zhang Yue worked so hard to clear the Divine Tomb once, the reward would be valuable, but none of them expected it to be this valuable.
This was an Ultra-Mythic-grade treasure.
In the Otherworld's century-long history, mythic-grade treasures have always been rare across the entire realm.
Let alone ultra-mythic treasures.
So far in human history, only three ultra-mythic treasures have ever appeared.
They were the three soul-destinies of the three great Main Gods carried by Zhang Yue:
The Fatal Lock.
The Angel's Wings.
The Hands of Hell.
Those three ultra-mythic treasures were cataclysmic in power, anyone who saw them marveled at their might.
Zhang Yue never expected that what appeared before him would be the fourth ultra-mythic treasure in the world.
That meant the Divine Tomb's value was comparable to the three Main Gods themselves.
At this moment, the God Apostles all around were already restless.
Aside from being upgraded in rank and strength, evolving from lord-class monsters into 58-star bosses, nothing else had changed.
They still only possessed a single 5S-grade skill: God's Awe.
Each layer of God's Awe grants every enemy within a layer a deterrence buff.
Awe: affected targets have their final damage reduced by 0.01% and the damage they receive increased by 0.01%, stacks infinitely.
Judging by the buff stacking speed, the challenge time was still only ten minutes.
In the previous round clearing the first floor, Zhang Yue had taken a full seven minutes to finish.
Ouyang Linger quickly analyzed the data of the surrounding boss-grade God Apostles.
After completing her analysis, she frowned deeply.
With a slightly trembling voice she said to Zhang Yue, ["Guild Leader, based on your last round's combat performance and the strength of these God Apostles, I ran the numbers—"]
["If you continue with the same combat patterns and efficiency as before, you won't be able to finish the challenge before the God's Awe buff stacks to ten thousand layers..."]
Hearing this, Liyue exclaimed, ["If God's Awe stacks to ten thousand layers, doesn't that put you into an unsolvable state?"]
["Yes,"] Ouyang Linger said, ["Increased damage taken is one thing, but the main issue is damage reduction."]
["If the God's Awe buff stacks to ten thousand layers, your outgoing damage would be reduced by 100%, meaning you can't deal any damage at all."]
["In that case, those God Apostles can't kill you, but you also can't kill them..."]
Wu Haotian, bewildered, asked, ["Wouldn't that trap you in an unbreakable stalemate? What would the outcome be?"]
Ouyang Linger's voice trembled, ["The result would be... the Guild Leader would be eternally trapped inside the Divine Tomb, never able to come out..."]
Everyone was stunned by that answer.
Chen Zijin staggered back a few steps, as if she had just heard news of Zhang Yue's death.
In truth, Ouyang Linger's words were tantamount to pronouncing a death sentence for Zhang Yue.
Because once the Divine Tomb is restarted, you cannot exit until you clear it again.
Even if the God Apostles can't kill Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue can't kill them, he would be stuck in an endless loop on the first floor and be permanently trapped there.
Chen Zijin asked, ["Is there any way to break this limit and let him clear the level?"]
["There's no special trick,"] Ouyang Linger said, ["You must kill all the God Apostles before the God's Awe buff reaches ten thousand layers, otherwise no one can solve it!"]
["And the only possible hope is whatever's on the scroll in the Guild Leader's hand."]
Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on the golden scroll in Zhang Yue's grasp.
["That scroll's effect can grant an evolution to a profession, improving strength."]
["My previous calculations were based on the Guild Leader maintaining his current power level. If the Guild Leader's strength can be increased, then perhaps there's a chance to break this situation and complete the challenge!"]
Meanwhile, on the scene, Zhang Yue stared at the Ultra-Mythic-grade treasure, the Divine Scroll, and pondered.
The Fatal Lock, Angel's Wings, and Hands of Hell were all ultra-mythic treasures that provided long-term, permanent benefits.
But the Divine Scroll was single-use, once used, it would be gone.
"I hope this one-time effect doesn't let me down."
With that hope, Zhang Yue crushed the scroll in his hand.
In the next moment, golden light burst forth.
The scroll transformed into streams of golden starlight that converged into Zhang Yue's body.
At the same time, a pleasant system notification sounded in his ear.
["Ding~ You used the Ultra·Mythic-grade treasure [Divine Scroll]. Congratulations, you have obtained a transcendent-grade evolution: Transcendent Power!"]
According to the scroll's description, it grants the user a random evolutionary power tailored to the user's state.
That is, it gives a super evolution to a random trait on the user.
Zhang Yue did not yet know what effect this Transcendent Power would have.
A panel refreshed before his eyes.
[Transcendent Power: Removes the upgrade restriction on Transcendent Sets. The Transcendent Set's grade will automatically increase based on the wearer's level corresponding to the highest domain.]
'This...'
Zhang Yue was somewhat puzzled.
Although the Transcendent Set could be upgraded indefinitely, it required devouring equipment of the same grade to gain experience, and the equipment to be devoured had to be obtained by the wearer personally, drops from their own kills, not bought or given by others.
That caused Zhang Yue's Transcendent Set to frequently get stuck at a star level, sometimes for several worlds, without progressing.
After all, Zhang Yue spent most of his time doing quests and clearing other worlds, he didn't have the spare time to farm gear specifically to level up the Transcendent Set.
If Transcendent Power could remove this upgrade restriction, that would mean...
Just as Zhang Yue was thinking this, a stream of system notifications rang in his ears one after another.
["Ding~ Transcendent Power effect activated. System detects host level 300, corresponding highest equipment domain: 60 stars. Transcendent Set star level too low, automatically upgraded to 48 stars!"]
["Ding~ Congratulations, your Transcendent Set has been auto-upgraded to 49 stars!"]
["Ding~ Congratulations, your Transcendent Set has been auto-upgraded to 50 stars!"]
["Ding…"]
