Linear Master?

The sudden revelation of this Class completely baffled Jiang Chen. Such an unusual Class was simply unheard of, unseen before. Insect Masters were understandable, but what on earth was a Linear Master?

Jiang Chen took out his communication device and contacted Bartley. This guy was a Prosecutor, so he ought to know about Linear Masters. And why did this Class seem so similar to the Cannibal Tribe's Hezi?

Jiang Chen: Bartley, are you there?

Bartley: Bro, what's up?

Jiang Chen: How much do you know about Ancient Classes?

Bartley: You've come to the right person. I'm very familiar with Ancient Classes.

Jiang Chen: Tell me.

Bartley: It is said that long ago, there were many Divines who ruled over their worlds without conflict. However, at some point, rifts formed between these worlds. To expand their power, the Divines would invade other worlds, seizing them to broaden their territories and strengthen themselves. Many Divines perished in these battles. Once a Divine died, their God's Seal would seek an inheritor. Once someone became a Demigod, they could hear the call of the God's Seal, thereby inheriting the God's Seal and becoming a new God. As a result, the Alliance was born. Numerous Divines formed alliances to avoid being devoured. In turn, they invaded enemy territory to kill Class Holders, and one by one, Divines vanished into the annals of history. Even though the Divines disappeared, the God's Seals did not.

Bartley: There isn't just one inheritor; there are many, and they can even devour one another. Inheriting an Ancient Class doesn't mean becoming a God; it also comes with dangers.

Jiang Chen pondered. Ancient inheritors aren't unique? Could this be like the gu-breeding ritual, seeking out the strongest individual?

Jiang Chen: Do you know Rod?

Bartley: I do. Rod from the Defiled God Camp is a Linear Master, an Ancient Class. He's someone our Prosecutors have been searching for. If he dies, he'll drop an Inheritance Volume. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Rod is in the Giant World. Bro, did you encounter Rod? Did you kill him?

Jiang Chen: No, just asking. But doesn't this Linear Master sound a lot like the Cannibal Tribe's Hezi [Line]?

Bartley: There's no issue with that. The world occupied by the Cannibal Tribe was originally the world of the Linear Master Divine. It's highly probable that the Cannibal Tribe's Divine devoured the Linear Master Divine, thereby awakening a new Hezi. Divines can devour each other.

Bartley: I heard from Little Xi that you went to the Giant World to find a Crown?

Jiang Chen: Yes.

Bartley: That's a treasure! It's said that the Crown conceals an inheritance. It's a treasure created by a Divine. Whoever obtains the Crown can acquire an Ancient Class and the recognition of a Divine.

Bartley: It's just like the Cannibal Tribe's Hezi [Demon Eye]. That was a Hezi Weapon awakened after a Divine from the Cannibal Tribe devoured a Divine from the Takano Divine Clan. Don't you think it resembles the Illusionist? The main difference is that it lacks the Takano Divine Clan's energy shield. Perhaps an anomaly occurred during the devouring process.

Bartley: If you obtain an Ancient Class, you could also give up the Swordsman Class, become an inheritor of an Ancient Class, and join the Alliance of All-Gods. You would certainly receive preferential treatment.

Jiang Chen: Got it.

Bartley: Some Ancient Classes aren't that strong; otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed. But some are still very powerful.

Jiang Chen turned off the communication device. Divines can devour each other? And gain other abilities?

Jiang Chen also learned something crucial—the Crown was actually an inheritance key. Obtaining the Crown could unlock another inheritance. Could Uncle Snake be planning to change his Class?

He was from the Medusa Gods, and his Class was also terrifying, capable of petrifying enemies. Jiang Chen had once encountered Jima, a member of the Medusa Gods. That woman was quite formidable as well.

Every Bloodline God Race has its own unique abilities. Whether they are Magicians, warriors, or Archers, they all possess their own bloodline Talents. The strength of this Talent depends on how the Hero awakens it.

Jiang Chen said, "My mission this time is to get the Crown."

"The Crown? What's that?"

Jiang Chen explained, "It's a treasure refined by a Divine. Obtaining the Crown allows you to initiate an inheritance and acquire an Ancient Class."

Their eyes lit up. It was another Ancient Class.

They had already witnessed the power of Ancient Classes. Jiang Qiu was an Insect Master, and her insects could devour not only Energy but also flesh and blood. This devoured matter could even replenish the Hero. Even if wounded, recovery was instantaneous. There was absolutely no need for a Priest's healing spells.

Those with an Ancient Class had a high probability of becoming Divines. At least their chance of becoming a God was much higher than for Dark Angels, Summoners, or Priests. There are many Classes, but not many Gods. And there is only one True God. For the Angel Class, there is only one True God and only one True God's Seal. Other Angels, even if they are Gods, possess only a God's Seal. There's a significant difference between them. Naturally, the True God's Seal is stronger.

Alice and her companions came here to kill Rod, make him drop an Inheritance Volume, and thereby unlock an Ancient Class.

Jiang Chen said, "Some Ancient Classes aren't very strong, so I don't know if the Crown grants a powerful Class. And even if we find the Crown, we might not necessarily be able to unlock an Ancient Class."

"It doesn't matter. If it's a strong Ancient Class, let Angelina inherit it."

"Right, your companions can't all be Priests; Priests are too weak."

Jiang Chen smiled. Although Priests were generally considered weak, Angelina was very strong. Jiang Chen believed Angelina must have awakened a portion of a God's Seal's power; otherwise, she wouldn't be so monstrously strong. When Angelina consumed the Blessed Divine Water, Jiang Chen had a faint inkling of something!

Angelina shook her head. "No need, I feel very strong."

"How strong can a Priest be?"

"Exactly, this is a rare opportunity."

"A Priest is just a Support Class; you should give it up!"

Faced with the persuasion from Alice and the others, Angelina shook her head in refusal.

Jiang Qiu said, "Alright. If it's a strong Class, and we get the Ancient Occupational Scroll after killing Rod, then we'll have three Ancient Class Holders. We can team up and all become Divines."

"Let me be clear beforehand: none of you are to snatch the Ancient Occupational Scroll."

"Hmph, my Vampire Class is very strong."

"And I'm a Dark Summoner! Jiang Qiu, do you think I'm weak?"

Protest flashed in their eyes.

Alice laughed. "Don't worry, we're all good sisters. When the time comes, we'll all obtain an Ancient Class, level up together, and become Gods together."

"Besides, I've heard there's an Ancient Class Alliance in the Defiled God Camp, and Rod is a member of it."

"It's not just the Defiled God Camp. Even on the Continent of All-Gods, there's an Ancient Class Alliance. They all look out for and protect each other."

The Ancient Class Alliance? Could it be that the Insect Master from the Defiled God Camp back then was also part of the Ancient Class Alliance?

They discussed as they walked along, entering another settlement of the Giant Tribe.

Angelina then demonstrated her strength. The moment she charged forward, Alice and her four companions were startled.

A Priest charging into close combat?
