I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods
Chapter 656 - 189: Taking Office!
She certainly hates Zhao Xuan and the others, but what she despises and loathes even more is this world itself.
If it can be changed, then there would be far fewer "Yun You" in the world from now on.
Having ideals sometimes starts with something so simple.
Yun You took a deep breath, the gloom in her heart was slowly dissipating.
She can't die, at least not now; she has more meaningful things to accomplish.
Even if these things bring her more pain and hardship, even if the path ahead is unclear, she must bear it.
It's not just the dream of Jin, Jack, Mokaka, and others; it's also for the people of the world to suffer less pain β it's her first grand wish since she was born.
In the end, she accepted the shoulder badge representing the position of "Political Commissioner."
"Hey, little miss."
Suddenly, the long-silent King spoke up, but this time, there was no jest in its tone; instead, it held a hint of gravity.
"This path is not easy to walk."
"It's entirely different from revenge. In revenge, only Zhao Xuan and his subordinates are your enemies, but if you want to become Political Commissioner Yun, to walk your mentor's path, then 99.9% of the aristocrats and 99% of the Apprentice Death Gods will become your irreconcilable enemies."
"Perhaps you are very strong, like your teacher, able to suppress all enemies of an era, but you can never kill them all. Your enemies are nearly endless, even humanity itself, because human nature is inherently selfish. And your like-minded companions are ultimately few; losing one is difficult to replace."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Unusually...the King did not refute Yun You's choice, but silently explained the pros and cons.
"Heh heh..." ππππ¦ππππππ·ππ.πΈπ°π
Yun You scratched her head, chuckling foolishly.
"You know, I'm never afraid of difficulties."
This wasn't a lie.
For Yun You, what difficulty could be greater than struggling in the slums two years ago? At that time, she was just an ordinary person, but her enemies were four high-and-mighty Apprentice Death Gods, with one even being a Quasi-God.
Even she hadn't thought that within just one year, she would complete this revenge, achieving such an incredible miracle.
So sometimes, Yun You actually doesn't care about difficulties.
Because she has always believed β everything is possible.
"Then from today onwards, you shall be called Political Commissioner Yun."
Jin smiled and saluted Yun You militarily, and Yun You hurriedly returned the gesture.
"Clickβ!"
At that moment, Yun You suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound emanating from her body, as if something shattered.
And then... the aura around her rose instantly! The Death God Sequence mark on the back of her hand burst with dazzling brilliance!
Tier Three, Tier Three Peak, Tier Four!
The breakthrough came so swiftly that even Yun You herself hadn't anticipated!
This year, she is 17 years old, became an Apprentice Death God at 16, and within just a year, broke through to the Quasi-God Realm...
And this is not the end!
Her aura continued to soar, Tier Four wasn't the limit.
Tier Four beginner, Tier Four intermediate, Tier Four peak...
Finallyβ
"Boom!"
A mountainous roar accompanied by a tangible wave of aura swept around, the wind howling furiously.
Jin mitigated most of the force, but still, some aura leaped into the sky, forcefully dispersing the clouds within a radius of tens of miles.
Tier Five.
This realm, unattainable to most Death Gods, was breached by Yun You in that instant.
Countless people witnessed this; they speculated that an experienced Death God must have completed the breakthrough.
But they would never have guessed that it was Jin's young student who became a Tier Five powerhouse.
Ultimately, Yun You's aura stabilized at Tier Five intermediate.
Actually, the energy that allowed her breakthrough had not been exhausted; it remained inside Yun You's body, simply because advancing from middle to high Tier Five required vast energy, so it temporarily didn't continue breaking through.
Jin could clearly sense Yun You's current level, being the only True God in the world, he could see through the girl's state at a glance.
But he wasn't surprised, as if he'd anticipated this result all along.
The Star-Attracting Skill, the world's most mysterious Body Refining Manual, had evolved beyond "manual" to become a Secret Technique.
Even the incomplete Star-Attracting Skill could make one a strong figure.
And now, Yun You had obtained the complete skill, becoming the first in the world to assemble the Star-Attracting Skill.
Throughout the year, besides contemplating, she quietly read the Star-Attracting Skill.
She thought she wasn't practicing, but actually, her subconscious had been silently comprehending the Secret Technique.
The previous lack of breakthrough was simply because her "Mental State" was the bottleneck.
Now, after receiving guidance, her entire disposition ascended another level, so the power from the Star-Attracting Skill naturally erupted, instantly elevating her to Tier Five intermediate.
This was rightfully hers!
"The Star-Attracting Skill truly deserves to be the world's greatest Secret Technique; its enhancement is astonishing to the extreme."
Jin shook his head with a smile, softly said: "However, this is also related to your 'identity,' since this Secret Technique wasn't originally meant for 'humans.'
Upon hearing this, Yun You froze.
Not meant for humans? What does this mean?
Could it be...
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, recalling a piece of information she heard a year ago at the Cosmic Library.
Before Zhao Xuan died, he said Yun You had an unknown identity β Calamity Demon, those red eyes were the best proof, and it was because of this identity that Deng chose to help her.
But when she tried to ask about what Calamity Demon is, Deng avoided the question, urging her to ask someone who knows, like...Jin.
But previously, Jin was busy breaking through, leaving her no time to ask.
Now...this old man actively brought up the topic, indicating Deng was right; Jin likely knows more about the insider details, and probably knew her "Calamity Demon" identity all along.
"Um, Teacher..."
"Can you tell me about it?"
Yun You removed the mask she'd worn for a year, revealing her crimson vertical eyes once again.
"What exactly do these eyes represent? What is Calamity Demon all about?"
"..."
Jin was somewhat silent.
But in the end, he nodded.
Now that Yun You had reached Tier Five, she had the ability to protect herself in this world.
Given that, she indeed deserved some answers.
So, Jin quietly stood up, closed the door, and with his power sealed the surrounding space to prevent anyone from spying or eavesdropping.
After everything was prepared, he sat back down in front of Yun You, speaking softly...
"This matter involves quite a bit of history, and explanations can be complicated, but indeed, girl, you have the right to know."
"Let me think where to start..."
"Hmm..."
"Let's begin with the Star-Attracting Skill."
He pointed at the incomplete manual in Yun You's hand.
"I assume, girl, you know about the 'Star-Attracting Skill Curse,' right?"
Yun You nodded.
She naturally knew about this.
In the past year, Master Zero found some records about the Star-Attracting Skill in his memory, which included the "Curse."
The so-called curse is quite simple, that is β a normal person or Death God can only ever obtain one fragment of the Star-Attracting Skill in their lifetime.
No matter what methods they use, they can't obtain a second fragment. If they forcibly seize one through violence or coercion, they will inevitably die due to various accidents, without ever having the chance to read the fragment.
Because of this peculiar curse, over hundreds of years, no Apprentice Death God has collected more than two copies of the Star-Attracting Skill.
Yet Yun You broke this rule, becoming the only one among them...
