Chapter 1 The Revitalization

The resurrected team members all used their Return Scrolls. The twenty-six shaman priests stayed until the very end, and only after all the team members had left did they each use their Return Scrolls to escape.

This group of people returned from the City of Flame to Okoron City and met at the guild headquarters.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, did you get the item?"

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, how was the harvest?"

The team members asked anxiously in the group chat. They were still haunted by the level 180 demonized lord. Five hundred of them had fought for so long, but the giant hadn't lost any health. He killed them with a single sword strike, like chopping melons and vegetables. The item guarded by that guy must be extraordinary.

"Of course." Nie Yan had put in so much effort, he naturally wouldn't return empty-handed. "Let me take a look at the item first."

Nie Yan looked at the stats of the Abak Focus Legplates.

Abak Focus Legplates: Requires 1500 Strength, 1200 Agility, Level 180. (Cannot be used)

Item Description: Only a Shadowbringer who possesses the Chapter of Order can equip Abak's Tyrant Set. A full set is required to wear it. Abak reveres power. Only sufficient strength can maintain tyranny. Rebels die!

Item Stats: Defense +1232, Evasion +30, Focus +60, Strength +1300, Agility +1220, Increased leg strength, 70% chance to block attacks targeting the legs. Set Component 8/8. This item is bound to the player holding the first volume of the Chapter of Order, cannot be traded, cannot be dropped.

The Abak Focus Legplates had decent stats. They didn't come with any skills, but the important thing was that they were a set component. With this, Nie Yan had finally completed his Abak Set.

Wearing the full set would grant powerful bonus stats!

Nie Yan checked his level. He was still at level 149, around 93%. He was just a little short of experience to equip the Abak Set. Where could he find this experience? He suddenly remembered that he still had some experience points to claim! Players could claim some experience points from the Mercenary Guild of the Greenland Empire for every Lawful Evil player they killed. Nie Yan hadn't paid attention to this, and he hadn't claimed the rewards for killing so many Lawful Evil players. If he went to claim them now, he could probably get quite a bit.

Nie Yan went to the Mercenary Guild to claim his reward experience, and the experience bar soared to 98%, but it was still a little short.

"Guo Huai, how many Minstrel's Song Fragment have you collected?"

"Thirty-two in total," Guo Huai replied. His men had been buying those things for a while.

"Send them over quickly," Nie Yan said.

"Okay."

Soon, Nie Yan received thirty-two Minstrel's Song Fragments. After handing them over, his experience finally broke through level 150.

He could finally equip the Abak Set! Nie Yan couldn't wait to put it on. This set was a dark purple color, and each piece of equipment was adorned with a strange mark, ancient and mysterious. The set's light was restrained. Although ordinary people could see at a glance that it was a complete set of equipment, few could recognize it as a legendary set just by looking at the equipment. In addition to the six pieces of equipment, there were also two daggers. These two daggers were curved like snakes, with an unusual red hue. The strangely curved lines of the dagger blades exuded a suffocating murderous aura, giving a strong visual shock.

After putting on the Abak Set, Nie Yan felt a strange power surging within his body, like a turbulent flood, inexhaustible.

He looked at the Abak Set's stats. In addition to the individual piece stats, Nie Yan saw a long list of set stats: All stats +200%, all skills upgraded to the maximum, and four additional skills. The first skill was the passive skill Aura of Slaughter, which dealt 50% splash damage to all other hostile units around the target being attacked. The second skill was the passive skill Infinite Combo, which increased skill casting speed and dealt continuous combo damage, while also enhancing the effects of all control skills cast during the combo by 50%. Combo 1 dealt 100% skill damage, Combo 2 dealt 200% skill damage, Combo 3 dealt 400% skill damage... The third skill was the passive skill Bloodlust Aura, which caused all allied units in the surrounding area to enter a state of bloodlust, with a 120% stat bonus. The fourth skill was the active skill Pinpoint Teleportation, which allowed the user to instantly teleport to a location after knowing the coordinates, even traversing underground and above ground. This skill had a cooldown time of half an hour.

This was definitely an invincible set of divine equipment, the only one of its kind! Any one of these four skills alone could be considered priceless.

Ordinary players had a hard time getting even a single legendary piece, let alone assembling a complete set. Moreover, the Abak Set was a level 180 set, which was incomparable to ordinary low-level legendary items. Players had probably only heard of sets of this level in legends.

After equipping the full Abak Set, Nie Yan was absolutely invincible for the time being!

He looked at his own stats. His attack had reached a terrifying 30,000+, and his defense was also over 30,000. Moreover, it wasn't leather armor, but terrifying holy armor. In terms of physical defense, it was similar to a warrior's heavy armor, but its magic defense was far superior to that of a warrior. He had 60,000 health, 79% evasion, and all his stats had reached heights that ordinary players couldn't even dream of, leaving the top professional players of the Niu Ren Tribe far behind.

These stats made Nie Yan's heart pound. With this set, who in the world could stop him!

After Nie Yan put on the Abak Set, a brilliant purple light shone from his body, dazzling and eye-catching, making Nie Yan look like a celestial being.

System Announcement: The God Era expansion has been activated. God Era: Fully open top-tier class advancement quests, open legendary class advancement quests, national war activated. Warriors, bravely move forward and pursue eternal power! Achieve legend, you will become the masters of the world.

The system announcement alarmed all the players in the server, and the players in all the major cities exploded when they saw the content of the system announcement.

"Top-tier classes are fully open!"

"The difficulty of the top-tier class advancement quests should be lowered, right?"

"What is that legendary class quest? Can we advance to become legendary mages in the future?" A mage muttered to himself.

All the players in the server were discussing the God Era expansion. At this moment, Nie Yan, who was at the Niu Ren Tribe's guild headquarters in Okoron City, was in a daze. He didn't expect that equipping the full Abak Set would have such a huge impact.

Nie Yan knew nothing about the God Era expansion, because this expansion had never been activated in his previous life. The server had fully opened top-tier class advancements? This wasn't good news for the Niu Ren Tribe. The legendary class quest made Nie Yan's heart flutter. Could it be that above top-tier classes were legendary classes? Like those legendary NPCs?

Nie Yan glanced at the guild group chat. The guild group chat had already exploded.

"Top-tier class advancement is fully open! I wonder if I meet the advancement requirements?"

"I want to ask the same question. I'm currently level 130, with 7638 defense. Can I advance to a top-tier class?"

"Let's go try it out. It's said that Carol City has opened an advancement hall. We can go there to accept advancement quests."

After receiving this information, Guo Huai hurriedly sent a message to Nie Yan, asking, "Nie Yan, what should we do? The God Era has begun. What should we do next?"

"Have all the players in the guild above level 135 go try it out and see if they can advance to top-tier classes. Those below level 135 should honestly continue leveling up," Nie Yan said. Although the top-tier class advancement quests were fully open, Nie Yan estimated that the difficulty of the top-tier class advancement quests would still be quite high. The top-tier classes that were easily advanced to probably wouldn't be very strong and wouldn't deserve the title of top-tier.

"It's said that guilds like Angel Corps have already organized a large number of players to do advancement quests," Guo Huai said.

"There's nothing to worry about. Listen to my arrangements." Nie Yan immediately began to deploy. During this time, he had to do some things to ensure that the Niu Ren Tribe continued to maintain its advantage over the Angel Corps, or it would be troublesome in the future.

Although there was such an accident, it didn't dampen Nie Yan's excitement at obtaining the Abak Set. Nie Yan looked at his quest prompt.

Quest Progress: Towards Legend, collect the following items: Shattered Divine Spark 3/6, Divinity 7/8, Divine Artifact 1/2, Heart of the Saint.

Nie Yan looked at the quest progress. He was stunned. He had already completed most of this quest to reach the legendary realm. He had already collected three Shattered Divine Sparks. As for Divinity, it referred to the eight character states. Nie Yan was still missing one: Spirituality. As for Divine Artifacts, both the Death God's Dagger and the Patnoste Battle Hammer counted. Any one would do. As for the Heart of the Saint, he was just a little short and would get it in no time.

This discovery made Nie Yan feel very magical. It turned out that he was already on the path to becoming a legend.

It took him a long time to digest the information he had just obtained. Nie Yan looked at the transparent egg, held it in the palm of his right hand, and felt it carefully. A powerful holy light power came from it. It was a Holy Light Sprite. Nie Yan thought about it. The strongest holy priest in the entire Niu Ren Tribe was none other than Xie Yao. This Holy Light Sprite, like the Arcane Sprite, would disappear if it died once. Only Xie Yao could protect it.

Nie Yan called Xie Yao over and then traded the Holy Light Sprite to her.

"Can I really hatch it?" Xie Yao asked, surprised and apprehensive. She looked lovingly at the small creature floating in the egg.

"Yes," Nie Yan nodded firmly.

Xie Yao placed her right hand on the egg, chanted a spell, and then slowly transmitted holy light power into the egg. After a while, she heard a snap, and the eggshell cracked open. A white Holy Light Sprite stood on Xie Yao's right hand. As Xie Yao transmitted more and more mana, its body slowly grew larger, about half the size of Tang Yao's Arcane Sprite, chubby, spitting out white bubbles, and exuding a strong holy light aura.

Another sprite was born!

After Xie Yao had this Holy Light Sprite, her strength would be greatly improved. Of course, she would have to put in a lot of effort to level up the Holy Light Sprite before its powerful power could be revealed.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, did you trigger the God Era expansion?"

"Yes, Guild Leader Nie Yan?"

Everyone in the guild group chat was discussing it. Nie Yan had just gotten something from the level 180 demonized lord, and the God Era had started. Everyone could easily make the connection.

"That's right," Nie Yan nodded. Such a big thing couldn't be hidden, so he simply admitted it.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, what exactly did you get?"

"Right, Guild Leader Nie Yan, I remember you said you were going to get the Abak Set components. Did you complete your Abak Set?"

"Indeed, I have completed it."

"Let us see the stats."

"Yes, Guild Leader Nie Yan, let us see."

They were enthusiastic and curious about the Abak Set's stats.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, show us the set stats."

Under the strong demands of the team members, Nie Yan thought about it. There was nothing to hide, so he simply and generously shared the Abak Set's stats. Even if the people from Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group knew, so what? With the Abak Set, Nie Yan was ready to go to war with Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group.

The stats of each component of the Abak Set were shared in the guild group chat, as well as the terrifying set stats.

After seeing the Abak Set's stats, the guild group chat fell silent. Everyone was shocked by the Abak Set's powerful stats. A level 180 legendary set! The stat bonuses were too terrifying. Nie Yan's strength was already outrageously strong, and now he was wearing such a powerful set. Who would be Nie Yan's opponent?

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, the stats of this Abak Set... are too ruthless," Undying Scoundrel exclaimed. He didn't know what words to use to describe it.

This set was already powerful to the extreme. Even an ordinary thief could easily one-shot people with this set, let alone a super expert like Nie Yan!

"Isn't this a level 180 set? Why can Guild Leader Nie Yan wear it?"

"Yes, this equipment isn't even inlaid with gems that reduce the level requirement."

"I have an attribute that reduces the level requirement by thirty levels when using equipment," Nie Yan replied.

Everyone rolled their eyes. Wearing such an overpowered set at level 150 that would still be invincible at level 180, were they even supposed to live!

Once the Abak Set was out, all other equipment was trash. Even the Goddess Set that Xie Yao had been collecting couldn't compare to the Abak Set at all.
