Chapter 266 The Inheritance of the Master of the Hall of Glory
Elegant and ancient palaces popped up from the ground, and peaks surrounded by cranes sprang up from the earth.
In the previously endless snowfield, buildings spread out from the Hall of Glory at the center, which were magnificent, grand, sacred, and solemn.
[Ding, you've completed the revival of the ancient Jinse Empire: Mountain and Sea Empire.]
[You get a 100% boost in all ten basic attributes, 100,000 free attribute points, and 100 million reputation points for the Mountain and Sea Empire.]
Alan's original 16 million HP shot up to over 33 million in one go.
MP was a bit of a letdown since most of Alan's MP came from various bonuses, and his base MP was too low, so the increase wasn't that big.
Attack speed didn't exactly double due to diminishing returns at the upper limit. It was kinda like the Underworld Longbow's 3.11 attack speed, where the actual increase was pretty minor.
But still, Alan's attack speed jumped from 77.65 to 93.12 in one go.
Breaking the 100 attack speed barrier was just around the corner.
As for movement speed, it directly broke the 60 mark, hitting 62.1.
With this attack speed and movement speed, not just now, but even in the late game, few could rival him.
Besides that, Alan's other attribute increases weren't as noticeable.
To be precise, doubling his other basic attributes didn't mean much.
"Ice King." The master of the Hall of Glory looked at Alan meaningfully and said, "Are you willing to accept my legacy, become my successor, and become the new master of the Hall of Glory?"
Alan was taken aback. He felt this should be the ultimate reward he triggered this time.
He wasn't a warrior before, so he couldn't inherit the legacy, which was a pity.
The master of the Hall of Glory could slay gods with a mortal body. Back then, the master didn't have the Godslayer mark and had to face the suppression of divine power. But even so, he succeeded in slaying a god.
His god-slaying was different from Alan killing the remnant soul of the Ice Goddess or the sealed God of the Undead.
The master of the Hall of Glory took down the Ice Goddess at her full strength!
"I am willing."
Alan nodded heavily.
The master of the Hall of Glory said, "Becoming the master of the Hall of Glory will bring you great benefits, but also great responsibilities."
"What responsibilities?" Alan didn't accept rashly. With responsibilities, he needed to consider carefully.
It wasn't that he feared responsibility, but he knew very well that his future enemies were the Alaite Star System, the invincible deities from beyond this universe, sages, and even beings like the God of All Things!
If responsibilities bound him and affected his development, it would be a loss.
The master of the Hall of Glory asked, "Do you know about sanctuaries?"
Alan said, "Yes, many countries have sanctuaries behind them. For example, the strongest and oldest empire on the Vast Continent, the Vast Empire, has the Palace of Infinity as its sanctuary."
The master of the Hall of Glory asked, "Do you know the responsibilities of a sanctuary?"
Alan nodded and replied, "To assist the country in times of crisis."
The master of the Hall of Glory nodded with a smile. "Correct, that is your responsibility."
Alan's eyes lit up. If it was just that, it wouldn't be a burden to him; in fact, it would be a good thing.
Alan said, "You mean the Hall of Glory is the sanctuary behind the Mountain and Sea Empire?"
"Correct."
Alan said, "Then I accept this legacy."
Sanctuaries typically had few responsibilities but abundant resources, much like nuclear weapons in the real world.
Sanctuaries rarely took action unless absolutely necessary.
But sanctuaries could receive a lot of resources from the empire.
It was rare for an empire to encounter troubles that required the sanctuary's intervention.
Even if they did, so what?
For Alan, war, especially in Ragnarok, was never a bad thing.
Actually, it was a good thing.
Especially now that Alan's Heart of God's Retribution had awakened, and his skills could stack HP.
Lightning Leap, Flame Meteor—these area-of-effect skills were a blast.
Especially Flame Meteor, in large-scale wars, a single use could stack at least a thousand HP.
"Good." The master of the Hall of Glory smiled, satisfied. With a wave of his hand, several items appeared before Alan.
"The Palace Lord Token isa symbol of your identity, and it is also a permanent key to the Hall of Glory's secret realm. Many places in the Hall of Glory require the Palace Lord Token for access. Besides, you have the authority to appoint and remove the emperor of the Mountain and Sea Empire. You can learn more about it later; there's an explanation on the top floor of the library."
"The rest are a god-level talent awakening stone, a divine scroll, ten master-level hidden profession transfer scrolls, ten master-level talent awakening stones, and my god-level hidden profession transfer scroll for the warrior class finally."
At this point, the master of the Hall of Glory changed the topic and continued, "My hidden profession is quite special. It's a Magic Warrior, suitable for those who practice both magic and martial arts. It's top-tier among god-level hidden professions. However, I don't think it's suitable for you."
Magic Warrior?
Alan was stunned. He knew of a super high-level top-tier hidden profession, God&Demon, which he had planned for Robert.
Unexpectedly, a top-tier god-level hidden profession appeared.
Should he say he was lucky, or was Robert lucky?
Alan didn't consider adding magic power; to be precise, he didn't consider adding attack power either.
Therefore, the Magic Warrior hidden profession wouldn't help him much.
Thinking of this, Alan immediately sent a message to Robert, telling him not to transfer to God&Demon.
Previously, Alan had given Robert the strategy for transferring to God&Demon, so he could only hope Robert hadn't completed the series of tasks yet.
If he had already completed the transfer, it would be a pity.
"Ice King, don't be disheartened. I once encountered a mysterious, powerful, and unfathomable being. From her, I learned some new information."
"What information?" Alan asked instinctively.
"God-level hidden professions are not the pinnacle. Above god-level, there are super god-level hidden professions! Those are the key to touching the pinnacle of the world and even breaking the limits of divinity."
Breaking the limits of divinity, wouldn't that mean becoming a sage?
Even according to the legends of the ancient Jinse Empire, sages were extremely rare.
"When I learned that there were super god-level hidden professions in this world, I began to search for them tirelessly, and I did find one." Alan's pupils contracted, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
His talent was already super god-level, and he had encountered a super god-level archer profession from Billy.
If his second profession, warrior, could also transfer to a super god-level hidden profession, with three super god-level attributes, Alan could hardly imagine it.
According to what Alan knew from his previous life, God-level hidden professions and god-level talents had the potential to become gods.
As long as they continued to grow, these two types of people were highly likely to become gods.
Of course, it didn't mean that those below god-level talents couldn't become gods; they still could, but it would be much more difficult.
