Chapter 378

“Throughout history, there have been attempts by the gods to kill them, but each time they managed to do so, they eventually revive in Hell…”

“The Seven Demon Lords of Hell are different from other evil gods; they control the seven layers of Hell and have fused with the provenance of Hell.”

“This fusion limits their power from further strengthening but at the same time also grants them the ability to infinitely resurrect.”

“As long as the corresponding realms of Hell are not destroyed, they will never truly be killed.”

“The realms of Hell are hidden deep within the depths of the abyss, where no true god can withstand the corruption of the abyss and sneak in there intact. Even if they do manage to infiltrate it, they would lose the power to destroy Hell due to the resistance against abyssal forces…”

“In history, gods who attempted such feats either succumbed to the corruption of the abyss, degenerating into evil gods, or were thwarted by the Seven Lords of Hell, due to their power being suppressed…”

“Therefore, against the Seven Lords of Hell, all the gods can do is to lure out their true bodies and find a way to seal them, since they cannot outright kill them off completely.”

“So, Your Excellency Eve, if your true intention is to eliminate Azazel, pursuing this course of action is unlikely to succeed and more likely to reveal your true identity…”

“The best option is to lure him into your divine kingdom, absorb his power, and seal his true body once again.”

“Of course, helping you conceal your identity is still possible.”

“If I judge it correctly, Azazel should now have two suspicions about your identity: either you an incarnation of mine or a newly born god I support.”

“I will use my connections to subtly hint that your identity leans towards being a newly born god.”

“Newly born gods are generally weak, which might tempt Azazel to lower his guard and seek out your true body to absorb your powers…”

“And that is your opportunity.”

“Your Excellency Eve, I wish you success and look forward to our pleasant cooperation!”

Hela’s message ended here.

Having listened to the message transmitted, Eve fell into contemplation.

“So, Hodur has connections with three other evil gods, and Hela was already prepared for it a long time ago…”

“The Lord of Plague? If I remember correctly, Hela has a divinity related to ‘diseases’. Could it be…this is one of the reasons why she place much importance in this war? Judging by the looks of it, ‘plague’ seems to be a sub-divine law separated from ‘diseases’.”

“And the Fallen Angel, I don’t believe that Hela, as the true master of the undead, would tolerate other beings to manipulate them against herself.”

“But Hela seems to have already made plans early on, and I wonder what she intends to do.”

“It would be good if Hela can cause a stir in the underground, as it could also alleviate the impact of my battle against the Seventh Demon Lord.”

“However, the fact that the Seven Lords of Hell can infinitely resurrect… this was not mentioned in my World Tree inheritance.”

“It seems impossible to completely eradicate them…”

“But from another perspective, perhaps an immortal demon could be more useful to me.”

“Of course, the prerequisite is that I can successfully seal him off.”

“Hela’s proposal aligns with my thoughts, but waiting for them to come to me seems a bit too passive and unrealistic.”

“The news of the players’ overwhelming victory against the Orc army must have already spread throughout the underground, including the destruction of Uller’s demigod incarnation, which will definitely arouse their vigilance.”

“Perhaps… I can change my approach and take the initiative.”

Eve took a deep breath, gradually forming a clear plan within her mind.

Meanwhile, as Eve was planning how to gain the power of the Demon lord Azazel, the advanced class slot distributed by her to Boxlunch’s team caused a huge stir among the player community…

In the Chosen City,

“Brother Mu, Bro! Have you checked the official forums? It seems like Calabash and the others got an incredible reward!”

Demacia excitedly ran to the Heart of Nature headquarters and found Li Mu, who was currently studying magical artifact forging with Meng Zhihan.

Demacia and Li Mu had already reached level 40 after participating in the underground war days ago.

With no pressure to level up anymore, they spent most of their time either accumulating contribution points to exchange for their final ultimate equipment in their own ways or simply having fun.

Li Mu blinked slightly.

“A reward? What reward?”

He had been immersed in crafting magical artifacts these days, trying to improve the silver robe he had gotten from the Orc High Priest Jushan.

Thus, he hadn’t really paid attention to the forums as a result.

“It’s a promotion to Silver-rank! Those dogshit devs are finally going to open up the Silver-rank! But… it seems like it’s not going to be completely available to everyone. We still need a specific item called the Advanced Class Slot to be eligible, and Calabash and the others got theirs by completing a quest!”

Demacia said.

As he spoke, a tinge of envy colored his voice.

“So I’m jealous bro… that’s Silver-rank! Ah, I just reached level 40 not too long ago, and it looks like I’m about to fall behind once again. Isn’t this game still in closed beta? How come they’re opening up new levels so quickly? Shouldn’t they save such features for the public release to make money?”

Promotion to the Silver rank?

Li Mu raised an eyebrow.

He immediately opened the game system, logged into the official forum, and found the post Demacia had mentioned.

In fact, he didn’t need to look for it at all, because this post had already been pushed to the trending topics. Despite being posted less than 24 hours ago, it had already garnered over a hundred thousand comments!

The title of the post was also very eye-catching:

“We obtained Advanced Class Slot Reservation from a Hidden Questline! Silver-Rank to Be Opened!”

Li Mu calmly clicked on the post and began reading.

Calabash made a post detailing the plot of the Hidden Quest they experienced as Boxlunch’s Team and listed the rewards, among which the most attractive one was the silver-patterned scroll named the Advanced Class Slot (Reservation).

“Hmm? Advanced class slot? To be implemented after the next update? They really are going to open up the Silver rank? But it seems like it’s not going to be available to everyone.”

Li Mu was somewhat surprised.

He scrolled through the comments and found that opinions were polarized.

Some expressed strong anticipation for the new higher level cap, while others complained that raising the level cap too quickly was unfair.

However, the biggest controversy was about the method of being promoted to Silver-rank.

So we need these reservation slots to upgrade? Not everyone can advance?

Isn’t this too unfair? Or, is it too disruptive to game balance?

After playing the game for so long, players were well aware of the difference between Silver and Iron rankers, and making that gap even larger wasn’t desirable!

It could be said that the comments section was exploding with various voices arguing on this issue, making the forums quite lively.
