Li Yi had two Class Change Tools, so he could change classes twice.

However, he could only have one class. It was practically impossible to have two at a time.

Should he be a Blademaster or a Sharpshooter? Li Yi was torn.

[Are you sure you want to change classes?]

[Yes. No.]

The virtual selection pane appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.

If he wanted to become a Sharpshooter, he had to do it in front of a mentor. On the other hand, he could become a Blademaster wherever he wanted.

“Yes!”

Li Yi nodded as a response to Archer Skill Mentor Rena’s question.

He changed his class to Sharpshooter!

A ray of golden light swirled around Li Yi’s body ten times before it gradually faded.

“Ding!”

[Congratulations! You have changed your class to Sharpshooter. Your class’ specialty is a maximum shooting range of 20 yards and a permanent increase in your long-range damage output by 20%.]

Li Yi summoned his Water Clone and had it hold the Blademaster Class Change Tool.

“Change its class to Blademaster!”

He logged off!

“Smack!”

Li Yi logged off immediately without even looking at the results.

He did not know what would happen when he gave the Blademaster Class Change Tool to his clone either. It was merely a bold experiment on his side.

It was a waste to own the Blademaster Class Change Tool without using it, but if he really did change his class to Blademaster, then the EXP he had earned as an Archer would all be for naught.

He could not have his cake and eat it too, but Li Yi still wanted to make the most of what he had.

That was why he came up with the idea of having his clone take the Blademaster Class Change Tool and changing its class.

He had no idea if it would work, but under these circumstances, he fell back to his old motto. How would he know unless he tried?

Li Yi did not log on again. Instead, he went to bed and slept until the morning, and once he woke up, he went out for some exercise. Only after that did he put on his headset and return to the Pantheon world.

There was a flash of white light, and Li Yi returned to where he had logged off yesterday.

He opened his Status Pane and saw that his class was listed as Sharpshooter.

There was no change!

Li Yi heaved a long sigh.

He would be less than pleased if he had actually ended up becoming a Blademaster. While the Blademaster class was indeed powerful, Li Yi had been an Archer for the past five years, after all.

In this life, Li Yi did not go back to being a Thief because he could no longer bring himself to play that class again. On the other hand, he had always liked the Archer class from the very beginning.

“Water… Clone!”

Li Yi summoned his Water Clone excitedly.

The Water Clone appeared before him, but it did not look any different from before…

“Crap, did it fail?”

Li Yi observed the Water Clone carefully and felt slightly disappointed.

He then checked his Backpack and fell silent.

The Blademaster Class Change Tool was just there in the Backpack’s Inventory Pane. It had not vanished at all…

His plan to change his Water Clone to a Blademaster had failed.

“F*ck!” Li Yi swore angrily.

Li Yi picked up the Little Sword (the tool for changing one’s class to Blademaster) and received a system notification: [Do you want to change your class to Blademaster?]

[No!]

Li Yi hit reject without hesitation.

He then opened his inbox and saw that he had 1908 unread messages.

Li Yi read Brother Windcloud Nine’s and Jiaojiao’s messages first, but to his disappointment, both the God-Chastised Paladin and the Dark Paladin were already advanced classes, so they could not change their classes again with the Class Change Crystal.

Both Jiaojiao and Brother Windcloud Nine had failed to change their classes, but everyone else had succeeded.

Sister Windcloud Nine changed her class to Dark Queen, Little Elf from the Magical Realm changed to Wind Dancer, and Fire Ice to White-robed Archbishop.

They had 23 Advanced Classes appear at once. This was not an easy feat even in the later days of the Wings of the Sky expansion pack in the past life.

However, Li Yi had achieved it. He had done something no one could do in the past life!

Now, the Pantheon Continent had fallen under the Winged Ones’ control.

There were tens of thousands of player major cities, and they filled every single one without exception. Wherever there were players, there were also Winged Ones.

The only safe place in the entire world was the God Wars Competition Arena under Mount Pantheon. That place was guaranteed to be safe.

Although he had not changed his class to Blademaster, Li Yi did not give up on gathering the Divine Power of the other elements either. He had now used four of the seven Sealed Swords, which meant that he had three left.

It was not difficult to absorb elemental energy mixed with Divine Power, but it was not very easy either. Li Yi’s method was to use the God Scrolls and absorb power from those.

He just had to ask a friend to use a God Scroll, and then he would secretly absorb its Divine Power.

Li Yi had many friends, and while God Scrolls were rare, that did not mean they were impossible to find. He just had to ask and at least seven people replied at the same time, saying they had God Scrolls.

Li Yi chose three of them.

The first was Chen Yang. Fatty had gone treasure hunting several times, so he had an Ancient Thunder God Summoning Scroll with him.

The second was Brother Windcloud Nine. Brother Nine was rich, so he had two God Summoning Scrolls that could be used at any time. Li Yi chose the Ancient Light God Summoning Scroll.

The last scroll came from Autumn Love.

The Black-hearted Chick had always been stingy, and this time was no different. She hesitated for a long time before she offered her Ancient Underworld God Summoning Scroll.

Hence, the last three Sealing Swords absorbed Thunder, Light, and Dark Elemental Divine Power.

By the time Li Yi settled all of this, it had taken him two days.

The last time he went to Sky Island, Li Yi had harvested plenty of Grade 11 Heavenly Flowers so he could upgrade his Evil God Summoning Scroll with them.

Once he used the Heavenly Flowers, the Evil God Summoning Scroll’s completion rate increased again. Li Yi added items from his own collection to it, and the scroll was soon at 52% completion!

It was more than half done!

Unlike the last few times, however, no new skill was unlocked this time. Only the Evil God’s image became clearer.

The Evil God Summoning Scroll revealed the next leveling requirement, Winged Ones’ Eggs.

Looked like he had to go to Sky Island again.

There was still one day before his deadline with the Death God, so Li Yi went to Sky Island once more.

In just three days, a long list of names had appeared on the God Wars Qualification Board. At least ten thousand people had passed the final boss and earned the right to have their names on the board.

Li Yi was still in first place, but the next few players in line were rapidly gathering points. Only his point tally stayed stagnant.

He had only tried the Open Colosseum once, after which he never went again.

Going there would not earn him any equipment, and he only earned points from clearing. Although he could trade the points for some decent equipment, that decent equipment was nothing to Li Yi, who had a Hall of Fame Set.

Li Yi had never considered fighting for his God Wars Qualification Rank, because he knew that this board was for those obsessive players with a ton of patience. These players would run the Open Colosseum once a day, all so they could top the God Wars Qualification Board.

Li Yi did not care about this ranking board. He only cared about the God Wars Rankings. After all, almost anyone could enter a mere Qualification Board, so what was the point of fighting over a spot there?

Right now, the most important thing was to upgrade the Evil God Summoning Scroll.

Ever since he defeated the Death God, Li Yi was beginning to think that the Evil God Summoning Scroll was even more useful than he imagined.

Summoning the Evil God into battle was something he could not even imagine in the past life.

However…

Li Yi felt a little regret. If he had had another Sealing Sword that could seal away the elements back there, perhaps he could truly have finished his great god-killing quest.

The last step of Li Yi’s Ascension Quest required him to kill a true god.

Li Yi used his same old method, pretending to be a corpse in the woods under Sky Island and waiting for the Gray Winged One to carry him onto the island.

“Squawk…”

“Squawk…”

When Li Yi was picked up the Gray Winged One, he looked around and, to his surprise, found a group of players who were riding on the backs of White Winged Ones, soaring through the sky nearby…

“Hahahaha, it feels so f*cking good to ride these Bird People!”

“Haha, sweet!”

“Hup-hup~”

There were a hundred of these players, each riding a White Winged One, and they roared with laughter as they drove the White Winged Ones through the sky, performing crazy aerial stunts.

Players and Winged Ones?

Li Yi squinted as hard as he could, and soon he recognized a few familiar faces among the players.

Among them were the Dwarf Wizard Black Wing, the Phoenix Archer Drifting Snow, and the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s number one strategist, Bai Xiaoya.

Li Yi was extremely surprised, but he was still a corpse right now, and he could not move as he pleased. If he did, the Winged Ones may mob him all at once, and that would not end well.

Since when did that Bai Xiaoya girl become friends with the Winged Ones?

Li Yi was perplexed.

Just then, someone said in the distance with a laugh, “Spellmaster Black Wing, it’s all thanks to you that we can show off this time.”

“Haha, yeah, it’s all thanks to Black Wing and Drifting Snow. Without the two of you, we would…”

The Fluttering Snow Alliance members rode their White Winged Ones further away as they spoke, so Li Yi could not hear what they said next.

Spellmaster Black Wing?

Li Yi narrowed his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the Knock-off King, Black Wing, had been quite powerful in the past life. Not everyone could reach the Top 10 in the God Wars, but that was just what Black Wing did.

Still, how did he managed to clear the Tower of Remorse?

Li Yi thought about it over and over again, but all he could think of was Drifting Snow.

That guy was an average player, but his luck was out of this world. If Black Wing asked him for a few powerful items, such as a God Scroll or two, it would much easier for them to clear the Tower of Remorse.

And yet…

‘F*ck, how did Drifting Snow get involved with Bai Xiaoya again? Didn’t they split up ages ago?’

Also, how did they get chummy with the Winged Ones? Who was behind that? Drifting Snow? Or Bai Xiaoya?

He thought about how Bai Xiaoya had just betrayed her allies and then gave the order to run without a fight. With that, Li Yi seemed to have an inkling of something.

“Squawk! Squawk!”

Just as Li Yi was lost in his thoughts, the Gray Winged One carrying him suddenly squawked loudly and tossed him off.

Only then did Li Yi realize that before he knew it, the Gray Winged One had carried him to a forbidden area on Sky Island— the Sky Graveyard!

There were bodies all over the ground beneath him, and several thousand Upper-class White Winged Ones were patrolling the area with long bows in hand.

“Someone snuck in!”

“Squawk, shoot!”

“Swoosh swoosh…”

Countless arrows came flying at him…

‘Crap, they noticed!’

…
