Chapter 1: The Ninth Profession
Thirteen candles were lit in the dusty and dilapidated temple, illuminating the long-abandoned temple hall.
In the center of the main hall, there is a statue of a goddess who has been overthrown.
Gao Huan stood in the center of the main hall, looking at the statue of the goddess who had been pushed to the ground.
"Last chance!"
"The goddess of the end is really a perfect match!"
"Still, I'll make it!"
A hundred years ago, darkness fell, order restarted, and professionals led the way.
Every human being is trying to strengthen himself and become a professional, so that he can more or less control his own destiny.
Martial artists, magicians, animal trainers, marksmen, paladins, assassins, and array mages are the seven types of regular professions, and they are also the professions that most people can achieve through their own training.
And in addition to these seven categories of regular professions, there is also an eighth category of professions, called blasphemers.
Blasphemers, who are believers in evil gods, can borrow the power of evil gods.
At the beginning of the darkness, it was the rise of the blasphemers that kept humanity from being wiped out.
But while the evil gods are empowering, they are also constantly tempting blasphemers to turn their backs on their own race. If the will is not strong enough, the blasphemer will eventually sink and become the minions of the evil gods, standing in opposition to humanity.
However, the pursuit of power has made many people take risks.
All blasphemers who sacrifice to evil spirits believe that their will is incomparably strong and that they are not tempted. But the end result is that no blasphemer escapes the control of the evil gods.
Thus, as the regular profession slowly emerged, the blasphemer became the one who was jointly banned by the Human Occupation League and the Supreme Human Council.
Everywhere the temples were abandoned, and the statues of the gods were toppled and smashed.
As time slowly passes, the blasphemers have been completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history. The contribution of the original blasphemers to the continuation of humanity has also been completely erased.
Gao Huan didn't spend too much time lamenting the injustice of history, he had to hurry up and complete the ceremony.
......
Soon, the toppled statue of the goddess was righted, and although it was not sent back to the throne, it was finally erected.
Gao Huan looked at the statue of the goddess of the end that looked quite hideous, and a trace of evil taste suddenly appeared in his heart.
In accordance with the method of sacrifice recorded in ancient books, he began to carve the circle on the throne of the gods.
After knowing that he couldn't awaken any kind of regular profession, Gao Huan was preparing for all this. The sacrificial circle, he has carved it I don't know how many times, and he has already reached the realm where practice makes perfect.
In just a moment, Gao Huan completed the sacrificial array.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the throne and slashed his palm with his carving knife, spilling his blood on the lines of the sacrificial circle.
As all the patterns of the sacrificial circle were filled with Gao Huan's blood, the circle rose with blood-colored light.
It's done!
Seeing the blood-colored light rising, Gao Huan was finally relieved.
Slowly, his body began to heat up.
There was a magical power that came into his body from the void, making his whole body warm, and the whole person was warm, as if he was bathed in a warm soup spring on a cold day, which was really comfortable.
......
In a temple in the distant Endless Void, the goddess of the end sat expressionlessly on her throne. But in the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Who-"
With a clear drink, the temple trembled, and even the void trembled.
She was in charge of the end of all things, and she felt a trace of abnormality just now, someone had stolen some of her authority and divine power.
However, just as her mind was about to find out the thief, the other party stopped his thief's behavior.
If she doesn't find the thief and her authority is damaged, how can she not be angry?
Unfortunately, she had no idea who had done all this.
......
In the ruined temple, Gao Huan had already interrupted the sacrificial ceremony.
Opposite him, there stood a beautiful girl with green onions and tender water, but the anger on this girl's face somewhat ruined her cold temperament.
"Are you crazy?"
Shui Yiren looked at Gao Huan with hatred of iron and steel, and his delicate body trembled.
"I'm fine!"
Gao Huan grinned, "From childhood to adulthood, it has never been better!"
"I'm a professional!"
"What?"
Hearing Gao Huan's words, Shui Yiren panicked.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'm really good!"
"Also, I'm not a blasphemer!"
Gao Huan didn't sell it, and directly told his current situation, although he still kept some secrets.
“......??!”
Shui Yiren looked at Gao Huan in amazement, "You were obviously sacrificing just now, even if I interrupted your sacrificial ceremony, but you, how could you ......?"
"I don't know what kind of profession I am now, but one thing is for sure, I don't need to believe in the goddess of the end, I have the same power!"
"Look!"
Gao Huan raised his hand and slapped the statue of the goddess of the end next to him.
Rumble!
Click......
This marble carved statue of the god, under Gao Huan's slap, cracked and shattered little by little, and finally turned into a puddle of rubble.
If Gao Huan was a blasphemer who believed in the goddess of the end, and he dared to attack the statue of the goddess of the end, he would inevitably be punished by the gods and wiped out in an instant.
"You're really not a blasphemer, then, what kind of profession are you?"
Shui Yiren's face finally returned to a little normal.
"Uh, ...... ninth class?"
Gao Huan scratched his head, he didn't know what kind of professional he was now. Just as his sacrificial ritual was interrupted, there seemed to be a clear drink in his head, but unfortunately, it was too vague and distant to be heard.
"Don't worry about this for now, let's go home first!"
Seeing this, the Shui Yi people did not say more, but pulled him by the arm and pulled him out of the ruined temple.
What neither of them knew was that the moment they left the temple, the magic circle that Gao Huan had carved on the throne of the goddess of the last god flashed with blood-colored light again, and then disappeared without a trace.
Not long after the temple fell silent, a group of professionals hurried to the temple hall.
They found thirteen candles left in the main hall, as well as crumbling idols.
"No disgusting breath of a blasphemer!"
The paladins who led the team sensed the scene for a moment and finally came to a conclusion.
So, this group of professionals hurried in and left in a hurry.
......
"You need a disguise!"
Returning home with Gao Huan, Shui Yiren looked at Gao Huan seriously, "Now, go test your basic attributes!"
"Good!"
Gao Huan nodded decisively, he also knew that he must have a disguised professional identity.
Generally speaking, after awakening to become a professional, there will be a qualitative leap in personal attributes. Different professions have different attributes.
For example, the martial artist's strength has increased most significantly.
The disguised identity that Shui Yiren gave Gao Huan was a martial artist.
Martial artist is the professional with the lowest threshold for professional awakening. And Gao Huan's previous slap to smash the statue of the goddess of the end clearly means that his strength has been greatly improved.
Gao Huan went straight to the dynamometer at home, and was about to punch it up, but there was a crisp sound of "ding" in his mind.
"The need for the Lord is detected, and the authority simulation is turned on!"
Hearing the words in his head, Gao Huan stood in front of the dynamometer and was stunned.
