John — After the Myriad Races Arena

For the next twenty minutes, everything unfolded exactly as John had expected.

No race dared to make another move.

Everyone understood one thing clearly: anyone who could consecutively challenge those three and survive until now was definitely no ordinary opponent.

If they attacked rashly, they would only allow the bystanders to reap the benefits.

The last one who had made a move had already been killed by John.

With such a bloody lesson right in front of them, naturally, no one was foolish enough to continue fighting.

As the twenty-minute countdown finally came to an end, an announcement rang out.

[This Myriad Races Arena has ended. Thank you to all races for participating. The first-place winner of this arena match will receive a special reward.]

As the voice faded, beams of white light appeared one after another, sending the contestants of each race back to their respective spaces.

John was the last to be teleported back. Before he left, he successfully received the special reward mentioned by the announcement.

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained one opportunity to expand your main city’s area by ten times!]

John quickly understood what the reward meant.

As the name suggested, it would expand the area of his main city by ten times once again.

However, after the expansion, a large number of corresponding buildings would also appear to fill in the empty areas of the city.

Naturally, the types of these buildings were drawn from the races of the contestants John had encountered earlier.

For example, since he had killed a Dragonkin, a number of shops and workshops selling Dragonkin-related materials would appear in the city.

With a flash of white light, John returned to the Zone 5 server.

The moment he returned, a stream of system notifications rang beside his ears.

[Your Fame in the Eaglecrest Empire has reached max level. The King of the Eaglecrest Empire will soon grant you an audience!]

[Because your Fame has reached max level, you may receive a daily allowance of 10 million gold coins from the Eaglecrest Empire, free of charge, to spend in any way you wish!]

[Because your Fame has reached max level, no NPC in the Eaglecrest Empire will refuse any request you make!]

[Humankind will obtain the most advantageous strategic position in the Battlefield of All Races!]

Even John was somewhat shocked after hearing this.

He had only killed a few ordinary small fries in the Myriad Races Arena, yet after returning, he had actually received such generous rewards.

"Come to think of it, in my previous life, the King of the Eaglecrest Empire never showed himself even once. I didn’t expect that this time, because of my performance in the arena, he would actually want to meet me."

John was a little surprised.

He immediately used his Pass Permit and teleported to the Eaglecrest Empire’s main city.

The instant he arrived, he witnessed a breathtaking scene.

Inside and outside the Eaglecrest Empire, countless people had gathered in a vast, surging crowd.

All of them raised their hands high. The moment they saw John appear, they waved their arms and shouted in unison,

"Welcome back, Lord Hero! Glory to humankind! Glory to Lord Hero!"

The cheers echoed endlessly.

John raised his hand slightly.

In an instant, the thunderous cheers fell silent.

This was the prestige he now possessed. Even if he did nothing at all, he could make the citizens of the Eaglecrest Empire obey him in an instant.

John’s gaze shifted slightly. His figure slowly descended, and the civilians on both sides immediately opened up a path for him, leading straight toward the royal palace.

Along the way, coins continued to rain down onto him.

Notifications of his purse gaining 10 gold coins, or even 1,000 gold coins, rang in John’s ears from time to time.

By the time he reached the royal palace, he had already gained nearly a million gold coins.

John walked toward the palace.

Under normal circumstances, the royal palace was always inaccessible. But today, as John approached, the palace gates actually opened slowly before him.

John proceeded unhindered all the way inside, heading straight into the depths of the palace.

Very soon, he saw that towering and majestic figure.

The King of the Eaglecrest Empire was a level 500 powerhouse. John’s Detection skill could not even reveal his detailed information. His entire body was shrouded in holy light.

"Warrior, you have come."

The king spoke softly, yet the entire palace seemed to tremble with his voice.

John replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty summoned me. Is there something you need?"

The king walked down the steps one by one. He stopped before John and said gently,

"In this Myriad Races Arena, you have rendered a great service. Merit deserves reward. Tell me, what reward do you desire? As long as it lies within my power, I shall satisfy your request."

John nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thinking for a moment, he did not stand on ceremony. He directly asked,

"May I ask, Your Majesty, do you have an Origin of Class?"

Origin of Class was extremely precious, but John had no other channels to obtain it at the moment, so he simply asked directly to see whether this king had one.

When he heard that John actually wanted an Origin of Class, the king was clearly shocked as well.

After a moment of silence, he finally said slowly,

"I do indeed possess an Origin of Class. However, you are an assassin. You may not necessarily be able to use it."

Perhaps because of the system’s influence, even this level 500 king had not seen through the fact that John possessed every class.

When John heard that the king really had one, he immediately said,

"That’s fine. As long as it’s an Origin of Class, I don’t mind."

The corner of the king’s mouth twitched slightly.

What did he mean, he did not mind?

However, considering John’s achievements, the king still raised his hand, as though retrieving something from thin air.

As holy light emerged, a crimson source of light actually appeared in his palm.

The king said,

"Here. This is the Origin of Warriors."

John immediately thanked him and accepted it.

[Origin of Warriors]

[Type]: Special Item

[Effect]: After use, it can upgrade a warrior talent!

...

"It’s actually real."

John’s eyes lit up, and he immediately chose to use it.

The moment he used it, his warrior-class talent instantly upgraded.

[Origin of Class used successfully. Your warrior-class talent, SS-rank Berserk Bloodrage, has been upgraded to SSS-rank Wrathborn!]

[Wrathborn]

[Effect]: After activation, you will enter a state of Divine Wrath. Every attack you make will gain 500% additional damage!]

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With another Origin of Class in hand, John was now only missing the priest Origin of Class and the Origin of Archers.

After obtaining the Origin of Warriors, John soon left the royal palace and returned to Overlord main city.

He still had not used the Server Merger Token he had exchanged for during the previous event. Now that he had returned from the Battlefield of All Races, he needed to consider how to use this item to prepare for the upcoming Battlefield of All Races.

After all, the Battlefield of All Races would not separate their strength just because the players were divided into different zones.

Merging servers ahead of time would definitely make things easier than fighting separately.

However, he had to choose the target of the merger carefully.

After all, if he merged with those relatively powerful people, it might lead to disagreements between both sides, which would instead slow down their respective progress.

So he had to choose a relatively weak zone.

Aside from Zone 5, the weakest among the other zones was undoubtedly Zone 4.

With that thought in mind, John immediately said,

"System, I want to use the Server Merger Token on Zone 4."

[Use successful. Zone 4 will soon merge with Zone 5!]
