This scene was something that even seasoned S-class powerhouses, let alone ordinary people, had never seen before!

This is beyond the reach of human power!

This is a miracle!

It turns out that gods really do exist in this world!

"thump!"

"Thump! Thump!"

At this moment, no one doubted it anymore.

Whether ordinary citizens or high-ranking professionals, whether elderly or children, everyone knelt down with heartfelt devotion, offering their most sincere faith to the great figure in the sky.

【Ding! Sensing the faith of a vast number of beings, you have gained 88,888 merit points!】

【Ding! Sensing the faith of a vast number of beings, you have gained 123,456 merit points!】

【bite!......】

Looking at the merit points that were starting to surge wildly again in the background, Zhou Huai smiled with satisfaction.

Just as everyone was bowing [N O V E L I G H T] in worship, he silently dissipated Li Er's phantom image.

He kept his achievements and fame hidden.

He had more important things to do.

Now, he has over 100 million merit points in his hands, and he must hurry up and convert them into real combat power!

...

One day later.

Eternal Night Guild, Underground Training Room.

Zhou Huai's consciousness waited quietly.

The moment the 24-hour cooldown of Li Er's level 20 ultimate skill 【Saint's Domain】 was finally cleared on the panel.

Without hesitation, he immediately controlled Li Er and activated this god-like skill that could be described as a bug!

"Saint's Domain!"

Buzz—!

A holy white halo enveloped Li Er once again.

Zhou Huai took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a frantic and expectant light.

Looking at the long string of merit points on the panel, he issued a simple and direct command.

"My level has increased by 30 levels in a row!"

Words become law!

The next second, the white light representing the upgrade around Li Er surged up wildly, like a movie on fast-forward!

Under the forceful infusion of the power of the rules, Li Er's level began to soar in an astonishing manner!

【Levels: 21...25...30...40...50...51!】

The white light faded, and Li Er's level finally settled steadily at level 51!

【Ding! Your words have taken effect! Deduct 32,168,000 merit points? Resist the backlash.】

Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Zhou Huai's eye twitched violently.

"More than 32 million..."

Even though the effect of the Saint's Domain reduced the backlash of "words become law" to one-tenth.

However, forcibly raising him by thirty levels still deducted more than thirty million merit points from Li Er!

Zhou Huai silently did some mental calculations.

Without the effects of the Saint's Domain... wouldn't that mean that just reaching level 30 would require consuming a full 320 million merit points?!

"hiss--!"

He couldn't help but gasp.

"The cost of leveling up an SSS-level professional is just too high!"

Moreover, as the level increases, the merit points required for each upgrade increase exponentially.

However, Zhou Huai only clicked his tongue in surprise and didn't feel too bad.

Li Er's level increase will be of great benefit to himself and all his clones.

More powerful words of power mean stronger support and control capabilities.

While the precious thirty-second effect of the Saint's Domain has not completely disappeared.

Zhou Huai's gaze then fell on another clone.

Xiang Yu!

Since returning from the Sakura Kingdom, Xiang Yu has started leveling up from level one again, and with the accumulation of various resources, he has only just passed level thirty.

"It's still too slow."

Zhou Huai shook his head, made a decisive move, and manipulated Li Er to once again use the "Words Become Law" technique.

This time, his voice was steady and powerful.

"Xiang Yu's level has been increased to 70!"

The words fell.

Buzz—!

Standing next to Li Er, Xiang Yu suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling white light than when Li Er had leveled up!

The white light shone brightly, like a small sun, illuminating the entire underground training room!

【Levels: 31...40...50...60...70!】

The dazzling white light only gradually subsided after Xiang Yu's level steadily broke through the level 70 mark.

As the light faded, Xiang Yu's figure reappeared.

He just stood there quietly, but his aura was much stronger than before!

An overwhelming and invincible terrifying pressure emanated from him, even making the surrounding air heavy!

He became the first clone under Zhou Huai's command to reach level 70!

【Ding! Words have come to pass! Under the effect of the Saint's Domain, 10,000,000 Merit Points will be deducted.】

Simply raising Xiang Yu's level from 30 to 70 cost Li Er a full ten million merit points.

"It was worth it!"

As Xiang Yu's level reaches 70.

Zhou Huai's body also emitted white light continuously, and he reached level 70.

His level will be equal to that of the highest-level clone among his clones.

Therefore, Zhou Huai showed no surprise.

In fact, with Li Er's current merit points reserves, which are comparable to those of a country, he could easily level up Xiang Yu to level 80, let alone level 70.

But Zhou Huai wasn't in such a hurry.

There is no other reason.

Level 70 is a crucial watershed moment.

The reason why level 70 professionals are called "legendary" is because they are separated from professionals below level 70 by an insurmountable gap.

The key lies in the "field"!

Domain, a mysterious and special power.

It is not automatically learned as the professional's level increases, and there are no skill books available to learn it.

It requires professionals to rely on their own comprehension, experience, and even the deep-seated obsessions of their souls during the golden stage of level 70 to 80 to comprehend, touch, and construct a rule field that belongs only to themselves.

Once grasped, it can be developed into a "domain skill".

Within this field, professionals will experience significant advancement.

Even within the same profession, because everyone's experiences and insights are different, the skills they ultimately develop in that field can be completely different.

Some lightning mages comprehend the violent "Lightning Punishment Domain," within which countless lightning bolts descend, destroying everything.

Some lightning mages comprehend the extremely fast "Lightning Domain," within which their bodies transform into lightning, achieving unparalleled speed.

It can be said that a professional's true path to the pinnacle and transcendence of the ordinary begins in their field.

However, comprehending a realm is an extremely difficult, even elusive, process.

Countless exceptionally talented professionals spend their entire lives stuck at level 70 or so, never managing to reach the threshold known as "Domain" before their lives come to an end.

Once a professional reaches level 80, they will forever lose the opportunity to comprehend a new domain, and will never achieve legendary status!

This is also a universally acknowledged ironclad rule in the world of professionals.

Now, here's the question.

A cruel and realistic problem was placed before Zhou Huai.

How can I... make my clone comprehend a domain?

Zhou Huai's gaze fell on Xiang Yu, who stood beside him with an imposing and composed air, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Xiang Yu.

And all his clones.

In essence, they were all just puppets he controlled.
