Daniel read through the class change quest several times from beginning to end.

This time, he actually felt a trace of pressure.

He had accepted so many absurd and incredibly difficult quests before, yet he had never known how to spell the word "pressure."

Only this time did his heart feel heavy.

Perhaps it was because this quest was tied to Earth.

Earth was his root, his homeland, the place he would risk his life to protect!

Moreover, the quest had rarely given him hints.

He had already seen Starfarers before. Conrad was a living example standing right in front of him.

Daniel understood better than anyone just how desperately those rootless wanderers drifting through the stars longed for a living world where they could settle down.

Once Earth’s coordinates were made public, to that group, it would be like a wolf that had starved for countless days suddenly smelling blood.

How vast was the star region?

He did not know.

But he knew that after the new version began, countless waves of Starfarer invasions would definitely arrive.

And there were also the Astral Corsairs.

Through Conrad’s description, he had gained some understanding of those people as well. They were desperadoes who specialized in plundering every resource they possibly could.

Any force capable of becoming Astral Corsairs had to have at least one divine-grade powerhouse holding the fort.

It was said that truly powerful pirate forces could even dominate an entire star system, forcing every living world within that system into misery and suffering.

How could they possibly let go of a piece of "fresh meat" like Earth?

If all of those were only small fry, then there were even more terrifying existences—

Those colossal powers within the star region!

These forces were not something the God Realm powers could compare to.

At best, the Godkin were local tyrants within this one star system. Compared to the great forces of the Starfield Tier, they were not even worthy of carrying their shoes.

The great powers of the star region were warlords who commanded massive armies.

It was said that the strongest force in the current star region was called Gold Mountain!

It ruled over one-third of the star systems in the entire star region, and under its command were over ten thousand great worlds like the Godkin’s.

Earth would be extremely attractive to them as well.

In the Endless Starfield, every territory already had an owner. It either belonged to one force or another.

If one wanted to develop, one had to expand desperately and compete to the death.

How many hungry wolves would a freshly born Earth with no ability to protect itself attract?

Daniel knew the answer without even needing to think.

He took a deep breath.

As long as divine-grade powerhouses could not descend, he could endure every difficulty.

In truth, the difficulty was not quite as terrifying as the class change quest introduction made it sound.

What he was more interested in was the reward for this quest.

A Starlight Rankings participation qualification?

What was that?

He was somewhat confused.

However, most of the things given by class change quests were absolute top-tier treasures. It should not be bad.

Since he could not figure it out, he could not be bothered to keep thinking about it.

Once he completed the quest, he would naturally find out.

...

God Realm.

The Lord of the Radiant Sanctum, the Lord of the Hall of Divine Grace, and the Lord of the God of Light Temple sat inside the Radiant Sanctum.

The three sages who had remained behind to guard the Godkin all wore rather unpleasant expressions at this moment.

When the scene of Faustus instantly killing the invading enemies in Aetheria was transmitted over, a blurry figure suddenly flashed through the mind of Brand, the Lord of the God of Light Temple.

That shadow slowly overlapped with Faustus’ face.

It was as if he had remembered something.

And yet, it was also as if he had failed to grasp anything at all.

"This human’s strength is actually this terrifying!"

Brand’s voice carried a faint tremble.

"Faustus is a mortal threat to my Godkin!"

Hiram, the Lord of the Hall of Divine Grace, gnashed his teeth in hatred.

The intelligence had been wrong.

Was the information sent by the Overseer false?

Damn that Faustus!

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the Divine Wind Realm?

"Haah..."

Ankarach, the Lord of the Radiant Sanctum, shook his head.

If they were talking about hatred, he hated Faustus more than anyone!

His youngest son, Kahn, had died at that man’s hands.

But he could not descend into a small world. No matter how much he hated him, he could only endure it.

Then the image shifted again...

In the Divine Wind Realm, Faustus punched Nubat into scraps with one blow!

Hiram shot up from his chair, furious like a crazed beast.

"Damn Faustus! Nubat—!"

At this moment, among the three divine-grade powerhouses present, another one now had a blood feud with him.

Ankarach’s face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

"Speak. How do we deal with him next?"

Hiram’s eyes were bloodshot.

"I want him dead! As long as he dies, I don’t care what price we have to pay!"

Brand remained silent for a while before suddenly letting out a cold laugh.

"My suggestion is... we contact Luna_Fox!"

The expressions of the other two sages froze.

Luna_Fox!

That was the strongest assassination organization in the entire star region. If they could persuade them to act, then killing one Faustus truly did not seem like it would be difficult!

Hiram’s eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation, "Whatever price is required, I can pay a portion of it!"

Ankarach nodded as well.

"The same goes for me!"

Brand nodded, the corner of his mouth curling into an icy arc.

"In that case, this matter is settled!"

"With a top assassin from Luna_Fox taking action, I’d like to see how he keeps jumping around!"

...

Canaan Star Region.

In a place extremely far from Aetheria, there was a misty, rain-like river of stars.

Hidden within that galaxy was the most terrifying assassination organization in the Canaan Star Region—

Luna_Fox!

Luna_Fox was the name of a great world.

It ruled over the myriad races of the local starry sky, and it was the most fearsome name in this stretch of stars.

At this moment, inside a certain secret realm of Luna_Fox—

"Roar—!"

A magical beast with golden pupils had every hair on its body standing upright as it cautiously stared at the young man before it.

The sage rank of this divine-grade magical beast had already spread out, yet there was only fear in its eyes!

And standing opposite it was merely a demi-sage.

"Divine-grade magical beasts are still ultimately inferior to true divine-grade powerhouses."

Yexis felt that oppressive pressure, yet his expression remained as relaxed as if he were taking a stroll.

Boom—!

His Divine Domain abruptly unfolded.

Hundreds of figures appeared in the void. Every single one possessed demi-sage strength, and together they formed a tightly arranged magic formation.

The aura leaking from it was actually not the slightest bit weaker than the magical beast’s sage rank.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The magical beast roared furiously. Its enormous body charged over like a mountain.

But its body passed straight through Yexis, as if it had collided with a mass of air!

"The Law of Space."

The magical beast’s golden pupils suddenly contracted.

The young powerhouse before it had actually mastered the power of laws.

And it was even the Law of Space, the law most suited for concealment and assassination.

If space were imagined as a painting, and every scene within that painting was alive, then the Law of Space was like a painting hidden within that painting.

Unless one’s strength could pierce through layer upon layer of space, one would never be able to touch the person hiding within the painting inside the painting.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Yexis flashed out from the void. His long staff struck the magical beast like a torrential storm.

To the naked eye, it seemed as though he had only tapped it lightly.

But in reality, in that single instant, he had already struck tens of millions of times. The sounds simply had no time to travel out.

The divine-grade magical beast trembled all over from the pain.

Although the life level of a divine-grade being had long since become fundamentally different, such densely packed attacks still drove it mad with pain.

Every staff strike that landed felt like a needle stabbing into the gaps between its bones.

Yexis suddenly stopped and exhaled deeply.

"What a feeble lifeform."

The moment his words fell, muffled crackling sounds suddenly erupted from within the magical beast’s body.

Its bones snapped. Its flesh and blood turned to pulp. A terrifying aura exploded from inside it.

Rumble—!

The entire giant beast shattered into powder.

A trace of fatigue appeared on Yexis’ face.

He had used a secret art called Endless Force. In one brief instant, he had struck billions of times, and every strike had delivered a thread of force into the magical beast’s body.

Once enough force had accumulated, detonating it would blow the enemy apart from the inside out, leaving nothing behind.

The life level of divine-grade powerhouses was far too high. Ordinary attacks were not very useful against them.

Specialized methods were required to injure them.

Killing them was even harder.

Only a force on the level of Luna_Fox had that kind of confidence. Luna_Fox had collected vast numbers of secret arts specifically designed to counter divine-grade beings.

Secret arts capable of allowing a Divine Domain to clash head-on against a sage rank, such as Endless Force, were all treasured trump cards kept at the very bottom of the chest.

Only a great force with such deep foundations could bring out things like this.
