Chapter 1 The Vision

Nie Yan's gaze searched every corner of the woods, finally settling on a small tree at the foot of the cliff, his eyes unable to move away.

This small tree was only knee-high, with many branches, like a jade sculpture, crystal clear, radiant, a red fruit growing in the middle of the leaves, like a cherry, delicate and alluring.

This was a Hongweng Fruit! Who would have thought such a thing would appear in a low-level map!

Nie Yan clearly remembered the price of Hongweng Fruits on the website in his previous life, each one going for hundreds of gold coins. And each Hongweng Fruit had different attributes.

Nie Yan walked to the edge of the rock wall and carefully plucked the Hongweng Fruit. Luckily, he had learned Gathering; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to collect it, which would have been a huge loss.

Hongweng Fruit: Rare Fruit.

Description: Consuming this fruit grants the player +2 to Willpower checks, permanently.

Limitation: Each player can only consume three, any more are ineffective.

Hongweng Fruits could increase a player's permanent attributes, so given their rarity, it wasn't surprising they could fetch hundreds of gold coins.

Nie Yan considered it for a moment. Facing such a rare opportunity, naturally he would consume the Hongweng Fruit himself. Only a fool would sell it.

+2 Willpower was a pretty good attribute. Willpower affected a player's resistance to diseases, poisons, curses, and other debuffs. Increasing it would be useful whether he was PK-ing or grinding, since there were quite a few player classes and monsters that used debuffs.

Nie Yan put the Hongweng Fruit in his mouth. It melted instantly, turning into a warm current flowing into his stomach.

He checked his Willpower attribute, and it had changed from 0 to 2.

Having two points of Willpower at a low level was extremely useful. Nie Yan, having consumed the Hongweng Fruit, didn't waste any more time and headed deeper into the jungle.

He walked along the small path between the weeds for about five minutes, entering the deeper parts of the jungle. The trees became thicker and more luxuriant, and the light became somewhat dim.

Dead leaves covered the ground, stretching far into the distance.

In the dense forest, a beam of light shone through, appearing even more pure and bright in the darkness.

In the middle of the beam of light was a stone-sculpted pillar, about a yard high, with a thick book placed on the top. The pages of the book, eroded by wind and rain, were somewhat old and broken, seeming to tell of its distant age.

Nie Yan remembered that this book was called the "Commonwealth Chronicle," and it described all the historical events that had occurred during the Commonwealth Era.

The Chapter of Courage was hidden inside this Commonwealth Chronicle.

Nie Yan walked to the front of the book and reached out with his right hand. When his fingertip touched the book, it opened automatically, the pages flipping quickly.

"In the Secret Forest, you discover this thick book of chronicles. When you touch it, a mysterious power enters your body. 'What is this?' you wonder, full of curiosity. After the pages open, they are covered with mysterious words sculpted from tin and silver. It is the sealed history of the Commonwealth Era, written in a combination of three languages: Koshar Giant, Ancient Common, and Draconic. You commit these histories to memory."

System: You have learned Koshar Giant.

System: You have learned Draconic.

System: You have learned Ancient Common.

System: You have gained Commonwealth Chronicle Retrieval.

The Atlantean Continent had more than three hundred languages. Previously, Nie Yan had only learned Common, which was the human language. Now, he had suddenly gained three more languages. He checked his information panel, and a new item had appeared: Commonwealth Chronicle Retrieval. It described the events that had occurred in each era.

This information was very valuable. It could help Nie Yan complete many quests and identify many things.

With this Commonwealth Chronicle Retrieval, doing quests related to the Commonwealth Era would be much easier, Nie Yan thought to himself.

"'Huh?' To your surprise, you find a flyleaf mixed in with the Commonwealth Chronicle. You pull out the flyleaf from the Chronicle. There is a row of tin-silver words on the dark gold flyleaf, 'shdugeusgdk' Koshar Giant: Chapter of Courage."

Finally found it, Nie Yan thought with delight, checking the attributes of the Chapter of Courage.

Chapter of Courage: Chapter 3 of the first volume of the Chapter of Order, fragment of a legendary item.

Item Description: The holder of the Chapter of Courage will receive the Inheritance of the Gods. Your mission is to spread the glory of the gods.

Item Attributes: The holder of this item will gain an additional 2 attribute points and 1 skill point for every 5 levels gained, +15 Focus, +15 Willpower, +16 Resilience, +15 Jump, +15 Reflex, +16 Speed, Skills: Super Insight, Divine Arbitration. Super Insight allows you to know the other party's information and can be used to identify equipment, as well as providing an additional +10 Perception check. Divine Arbitration, after casting, puts the user in a state of full spell immunity, +500 health, with a high-level life shield that absorbs 60% of damage, lasting for five minutes. Skill cooldown time: 10 natural days. Cooldown status 110 (This skill cannot be used in dungeons).

Usage Restriction: This item is limited to Lawful Good alignment.

Note: The effect of this item is activated as soon as it is placed in the backpack.

Nie Yan's hands trembled slightly. He had seen the attributes of this item online, but holding it in his hands gave him a different feeling. Divine Arbitration was probably the skill that Banished Fox, the guild leader of the Holy Roman Empire, had used to single-handedly kill two hundred players. The mere fact that it granted full spell immunity was extremely broken. Banished Fox already had good equipment, and with the addition of spell immunity, five hundred health, and a high-level life shield, he was absurdly strong, truly a god-slaying demon. However, the Chapter of Courage also had a long cooldown time, requiring 10 natural days. In other words, it would take 10 days to cool down. Players would not easily use this skill unless it was absolutely necessary.

Besides Divine Arbitration, the other attributes were also very strong, especially the additional 2 attribute points and 1 skill point for every 5 levels gained. It was simply amazing. Among the professions Nie Yan knew, only shamans, paladins, and magic swordsmen could gain 7 attribute points for every 5 levels, but their attribute points had to be distributed evenly between Intelligence and Strength. Single-attribute paladins, shamans, and magic swordsmen were almost useless. A thief who could gain 7 attribute points and 2 skill points every five levels… Nie Yan understood what that meant.

With the addition of the other attributes, Nie Yan instantly became one of the top players. The Chapter of Order was worthy of its legendary status.

Nie Yan placed the Chapter of Courage in his backpack and checked his attributes. All his stats immediately increased by a large margin.

Once Divine Arbitration cooled down, this spell, which took ten natural days to cool down, would almost certainly be invincibly destructive.

However, he had to be careful when grinding or PK-ing in the future. If he died, the Chapter of Courage would drop, unless he could find all six chapters of the Book of Order and combine them into the first volume of the Book of Order, in which case it would not be lost.

Although Nie Yan had obtained the Chapter of Courage, he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. After putting the Chapter of Courage in his backpack, he took out a Return Scroll and began to activate it.

System: Return Scrolls cannot be used here.
