Forget it. I'll just give it to Rodney. And I'll take the opportunity to ask about its origins.

Jiang Chen walked toward the villa. Seeing Lin Yangze lying in the courtyard with his eyes lightly closed, Jiang Chen hurried over. "Old man, are your eyes better?"

Lin Yangze slowly opened his eyes and nodded. "They're better. The Continent of All-Gods really is different—vastly different from the world where the Wanderers live. I haven't had eyesight for decades. Now that I have transplanted eyes, it's taking some getting used to."

"That's good, isn't it!"

"That Rodney fellow really has a few tricks up his sleeve."

"I'm going in to find Uncle Snake. We can chat more later."

"Sure."

Jiang Chen entered the villa and headed to the basement, familiar with the way. Rodney asked, "Did you get the Crown of Divine Right?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chen took out the crown.

Rodney looked at the Crown of Divine Right and nodded. "This is indeed a crown, something crafted by a god."

"It's a piece of Mythical Equipment."

"I know."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You can't wear this thing either!"

"Who said I was going to wear it? Only gods can wear it and see the attributes of Mythical Equipment. However, this crown's attributes aren't that impressive. Wearing the crown grants absolute dominion over the Giant Tribe."

"The most important thing is the gemstone on the crown."

"What gemstone?"

"The Blood Gemstone."

"What is that?"

"It's a special kind of energy gemstone. The crown has special magic spells on it; wearing it makes the Giant Tribe obey commands. It was crafted by a god from the Ancient Gods, specifically to rule over the entire Giant Tribe."

Rodney took the Crown of Divine Right from Jiang Chen's hands and then asked, "Level 150?"

"Still two levels short. I'm at level 148 now."

"By rights, you should have reached level 150 by now. Why is your leveling so slow?"

"The Giant Guards aren't that easy to kill. Their armor is a full 40 centimeters thick. Such powerful armor is simply impenetrable."

"That's a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"Heroes experience qualitative upgrades at the Third, Sixth, and Ninth-stages. At the Third-stage, new skills awaken, similar to how a Wanderer's True Qi awakens. When you reach the Third-stage and go to the Class-Change Temple, you'll awaken a skill related to you."

"The strength of your skill is somewhat related to you. Most Sons of God choose Jewel Shards, consuming the gemstone's power at the Third-stage to select a mutation skill, thereby deriving powerful skills."

"This Crown of Divine Right *is* the Blood Gemstone. After fusion, you'll become even more powerful."

Jiang Chen pondered. There's such an ability? At the Third-stage, new skills awaken. How come I've never heard of this before?

Jiang Chen asked, "If I don't use a gemstone, it's just an ordinary skill?"

"Yes, without a gemstone, it's an ordinary skill. You might not even get any skill. But with a gemstone, it's different—you'll mutate a new skill. You know Little Xi is from the Tree Tribe; at her Third-stage, she awakened the power to drain an enemy's life force. That's a mutated ability, considered an awakening of her ancestral Divine race's power."

"And you're a Swordsman with a Wanderer's bloodline. If you awaken something, it should be a Wanderer's talent or a Wanderer's skill."

"The more perfect the gemstone, the stronger the awakened skill."

Jiang Chen's eyes filled with disbelief. He now understood Rodney's meaning: use a gemstone at the Third-stage to awaken a new skill.

When has Uncle Snake ever been so generous? This is Mythical Equipment, after all! And it's the only piece of Mythical Equipment I've ever seen. Although I don't know its attributes, it's definitely something incredibly awesome. The attributes must be top-notch!

Jiang Chen found it hard to believe. Uncle Snake is being so good to me. Could there be some scheme? Uncle Snake, am I your long-lost son?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but blurt out, "You mean I should use the Crown of Divine Right during my Third-stage advancement?"

"Of course. It's yours. At the Third-stage, you sacrifice the gemstone to merge it with yourself."

"You're being so good to me. Am I really your son?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Rodney rolled his eyes.

"You don't have to use it." After saying this, Rodney turned and immersed himself in his experiments, completely ignoring Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was baffled. Is Uncle Snake a good person?

Jiang Chen helplessly walked out of the laboratory, Little Xi following behind. She explained, "Father's mother was actually one of The Fallen."

One of The Fallen? Does Uncle Snake have half Wanderer bloodline in him?

Third-stage... only two levels to go.

[Name: Jiang Chen]

[Legion: Secret Sword Legion]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Level: 148]

[Experience: 140,000/45,000,000]

[Constitution: 1,380]

[Strength: 680]

[Spirit: 1,430]

[Agility: 135]

[First-stage Catastrophe: All Resistances +1,200, Four-Dimensional Attributes +1,200, Skill Attack Power +25%, Skill Cooldown reduced by 20%, Immune to 20% of damage]

The Third-stage advancement was similar: he needed to reach level 149 and complete the class-change assignment before he could continue leveling. First, he had to reach level 149, only then could he accept the Third-stage Assignment.

Jiang Chen, accompanied by Angelina, entered the Giant World. Leveling up was fast in the Giant World; each kill yielded eighty thousand experience points.

「Upon entering the Giant World.」

"Delia, it seems we were a step too late. The Crown of Divine Right has already been taken. Even Moer and Rod from the Difiled Camp are dead. It's said that two women inherited Ancient Classes."

Delia nodded. "I know. There are five of them, and one is even an Insect Master. But against my speed, they don't stand a chance of winning."

"Hmph! They're too ungrateful. You offered them a place on your team, and they refused! What's so great about them? They can't compare to you at all."

The person beside Delia snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Jiang Qiu's group of five.

Delia smiled faintly. "They're all Heroes from the Continent of All-Gods; it's normal for them not to trust me. I'm more curious about who killed Rod and Moer. Both of them were strong, Fifth-stage Experts. Who could have killed them?"

"They didn't tell you?"

Delia shook her head.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned to look at Delia and her companion. One was a blue-haired girl with fist weapons; the other held a magic wand. They had dark, clear eyes and soft, full red lips. From their conversation, it seemed they knew Jiang Qiu's group and had even tried to recruit them.

Could the one with the fist weapons be [Light Transformation Master] Delia? The top-ranked expert among Ancient Classes?

Jiang Chen was very curious about the various classes, especially Delia and her Speed of Light Attack, which was faster than his own, even though he had the Passive Skill [Thundering Sword Art].

[Passive Skill Thundering Sword Art: Adds Lightning Element attack, increases casting and attack speed, chance to paralyze enemy on hit.]

But it was far from comparable to the speed of light.
