Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

To prevent the War God Guild from launching a surprise attack again, Zhang Yue had stayed in the City of Destruction for a whole day and night.

By dusk the following day, exactly 24 hours had passed since he had received the hidden quest Guardian of the Corpse Dragon at this same time the night before.

A system prompt descended from the sky:

[Ding~ Congratulations! You have successfully guarded the Corpse Dragon for 24 hours. The quest is complete. Please submit the quest]

Roar!

With a deafening roar, the Corpse Dragon circled around Zhang Yue, as if expressing its gratitude. Then, it dove headfirst into the ground beneath the City of Destruction.

It seemed its mission was now complete.

Having spent the entire day battling Light Dragons in the city, Zhang Yue finally let out a long sigh of relief. His tense nerves relaxed as he prepared to leave the City of Destruction.

He made his way to the hidden base at the foot of a mountain and summoned the portal to enter the Dark Hall.

After locating Goya, the leader of the Dark Clan, Zhang Yue handed in the quest.

[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the rare hidden quest Guardian of the Corpse Dragon. You have earned the following rewards: Experience Points +750,000, Gold Coins +15, Goya's Trust +300, and the following items: [Ring of the Destroyer], [Armor of the Destroyer], [Legguards of the Destroyer]. Additionally, you receive 3 Skill Books of your choice and 5 Elite Pet Eggs]

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two beams of golden light fell on Zhang Yue's head.

[Ding~ Congratulations! You have leveled up...]

[Ding~ Congratulations. You have leveled up... You are now Level 28. You will need 500,000 more experience points to reach the next level]

[Ding~ Your trust level with the Dark Clan Leader, Goya, has reached Level 2]

[Ding~ Your trust level with the Dark Clan Leader, Goya, has reached Level 3. You will need 300 more trust points to reach the next level]

At this point, Goya looked at Zhang Yue with admiration and said, "Warrior, your abilities exceed my expectations."

"Keep working hard. When the time is right, I will bestow upon you a unique honor, one that only our Dark Clan can grant—a supreme honor."

Zhang Yue pondered to himself, "Is that a hint?"

Well, it seemed the timing wasn't right yet. He would wait until the time came.

Before logging off, Zhang Yue took a moment to review the rewards for the quest, especially the three pieces of equipment.

All of them were 3-Star quality for Level 30.

And they formed the Destroyer Set.

An absolute top-tier set.

This set was perfect for a warrior class, particularly one that specialized in controlling the Skeleton King.

As for the three skill books, before the second class advancement at Level 30, players could only control up to six skills.

Zhang Yue had already maxed out his skill slots, but his Skeleton King still had an open slot.

So, he chose a warrior skill and learned Heavy Slash.

With the consumption of a million alien energy points, it was instantly upgraded to the A-rank skill [Titan's Heavy Slash: Briefly charge up, dealing 300% physical damage to a single target and forcefully knocking them back. Cooldown: 6 seconds.]

As for the other two skill books, he decided to leave them for after his second class advancement. He'd store them in his inventory for now to collect dust.

Those five elite pet eggs were quite tempting too. Once he hit Level 30 and activated the second pet battle slot after class advancement, he could hatch a rare dragon pet.

After handling all these matters, Zhang Yue logged off.

He had a meal and decided not to log back in that night. After all, he had pulled an all-nighter the previous night and was genuinely exhausted.

He headed straight back to the hotel for some much-needed rest.

Unknowingly, it had already been a week since the annual Otherworld Opening Day.

And every year, the Global Professional Tournament would start exactly three weeks after the Opening Day.

With only two weeks left until the 100th Professional Tournament, guilds from various provinces and cities across the country had already begun their preparations.

In Linhai City, at the headquarters of the Misty Rain Pavilion Guild, located in the Su Family Building...

In the high-level conference room, Chairman Su Chen, CEO Su Yu, Vice President Su Jinya, and other Su family council members were holding a meeting about the upcoming Professional Tournament.

"What thoughts or strategies do you all have regarding this year's Professional Tournament? Feel free to share," Su Chen opened the discussion.

Everyone at the table began to speak up:

"After last year's tournament, our Misty Rain Pavilion is only 30 points behind the Heavenly Palace Guild in terms of glory points. If we can't achieve a good result this year, our provincial ranking might drop from fifth to sixth."

"Ever since the Chen family withdrew their investment, we've been severely short on funds. Our veteran members in the higher worlds have noticeably slowed in their development. 1This will put us at a significant disadvantage in this year's competition."

"We can only pin our hopes on this year's new professionals and hope they can bring a good result for Misty Rain Pavilion."

As he listened to the others speak, Su Chen clasped his hands together in thought.

At that moment, Vice President Su Jinya spoke up, "Previously, under Chen Jun's poor leadership, our newly promoted members suffered significant losses in the second and third worlds. If we continue like this, without making any changes, it will be difficult to achieve a good result in the tournament."

Su Chen noticed a hidden meaning in Su Jinya's words and asked, "Jinya, do you have any suggestions?"

Su Jinya replied, "What I mean is, if we can get the Beastmaster named Zero, who once joined our guild, back, he might be able to help Misty Rain Pavilion stand out among all the other guilds this year."

"He was the first player in Linhai City to clear the first, second, and third worlds. Plus, it's rumored that he has a top-tier pet, a Skeleton King, which he converted from a boss."

Su Jinya's words left everyone in the room in deep thought, with no objections.

Su Chen nodded and said, "Alright, no matter the cost, bring Zero back to Misty Rain Pavilion."

———

At 8 a.m. the next morning.

After breakfast, Zhang Yue logged back in.

He hadn't been online for long when Su Jinyan messaged him, "Zhang Yue, where are you? I saw you online on Feixin Message, but why aren't you at the login point in the Light Hall?"

"Uh..." Zhang Yue, who was currently in the Dark Hall, was momentarily speechless.

"Are you already in the fourth world?"

"Yeah. Everyone from Misty Rain Pavilion is here."

"Where are you? Come join us for some quests." Su Jinyan sent another message, "That way, if the War God Guild comes looking for trouble again, we can help you out."

"No need, our quests don't overlap."

Su Jinyan thought Zhang Yue simply didn't want to get involved with the people from Misty Rain Pavilion, so she sighed and said, "Alright... but if anything happens, just message me."

Back in the Light Hall, Su Jinyan was a bit disappointed she couldn't convince Zhang Yue to join them on a quest.

Just then, her sister, Su Jinya, sent her a Feixin Message: "Yanyan, Chairman Su has assigned you a task—to bring Zhang Yue back to our guild, no matter the cost. Don't hesitate, offer him any salary he wants."

"Really?" Su Jinyan's face lit up when she saw the message.

"Alright, sis, leave it to me."

Su Jinyan was just about to message Zhang Yue when she paused to think. "This is too important. I should speak to him in person."

"I'll tell him the next time I see him."

"Zhang Yue returning to Misty Rain Pavilion... that's amazing."

———

Meanwhile, over in the Dark Hall...

Zhang Yue found Goya and accepted a new quest.

Luck had nothing to do with it anymore; as a leader-level NPC, Goya simply couldn't issue quests below Level 5.

This time, Zhang Yue picked up the quest Countering the Light 6, which, just like yesterday, involved slaying 360 Flame War Dragons from the Light Clan.

So, Zhang Yue stocked up on potions and headed back to the familiar City of Destruction.

And there, he encountered a group of familiar faces.
