In his previous life, he spent his time developing his territory and fighting against the abyss, paying little attention to professionals.
But I still know some basic common sense.
Professionals are generally divided into two categories: support professionals, who mostly follow powerful lords after mastering skills and do logistical work.
Another type is combat professionals, who need to travel to the Free City's subsidiary planes and complete various tasks to improve themselves.
It seems that in this life, I am destined to be a combat professional.
The scene before my eyes is rapidly unfolding.
[After passing the difficult-level professional assessment, you have become an arcane mage.]
Since the Federation does not have any skill books for the relevant professions, you can only go to the City of Freedom in the most basic state.
To become stronger, you begin accepting quests. Completing each D-rank quest earns you 5 points. Once you accumulate 100 points, you can exchange them for an intermediate-level spell inheritance.
Six months later, you successfully completed 20 D-rank missions and learned the intermediate spell, Frost Spike.
[Advanced spell inheritance requires 1000 points to exchange. In order to become stronger as soon as possible, you accepted the C-rank quest "Kill 100 second-tier or higher abyssal monsters" on the advice of others.]
[As expected, the weak you are utterly defeated by the abyss monsters. Just as you are about to die, two high-level professionals happen to appear, save you, and demand 500 points as a life-saving fee.]
To save your life, you were forced to sign a contract, beginning a long journey of debt repayment.
In the second year, you diligently took on tasks to work and pay off your debts...
In your third year, you diligently take on tasks to work and pay off your debts...
In the fourth year, you paid off your debts and began striving again for the inheritance of advanced magic.
[In the ninth year, after five years of hard work, you have finally accumulated 1000 points and learned the advanced spell "Frost Storm".]
[In the tenth year, during the thirtieth Abyss Trial, you, a master of advanced magic, exerted all your strength and successfully perished together with a third-tier Shadow Demon.]
"this..."
Jiang Yan was stunned.
This version of myself on this timeline is just too miserable!
A lifetime of hard work only to earn a high-level spell inheritance?
Isn't this equivalent to the level of a random passerby in the Hammank Duchy's mage legion back then?
There are also seven or eight levels above, including top-tier spells, transcendent spells, and lower-tier forbidden spells...
And what's wrong with me in this life? How did I get tricked into working as a black slave? Even dwarves aren't that stupid!
In the end, he died without any dignity. What kind of trash is this Shadow Demon? He was wiped out by an angel with a single sword strike!
Just as Jiang Yan was mentally ranting and raving.
A weathered man appeared opposite, with the same face, but looking more than ten years older.
"Ahem, brother, you seem to be doing a bit badly. Why would you consider becoming a professional?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Don't even mention it. I was poisoned by the biography of the Martial God Du Changkong, fantasizing that I could also single-handedly storm the 27th floor of the Abyss and kill the Demon God," the man sighed.
"Alright, Elder Du is the only known professional in the entire Star Empire who is valued by the God of Slaughter. You're really overthinking it."
Jiang Yan was speechless upon hearing the other party's reply.
"It's too late to regret it." The man shook his head, looked Jiang Yan up and down, and said, "You've come to borrow the power of fate, haven't you?"
"Logically speaking, we are one person, and I shouldn't make things difficult for you, but..."
At this point, the man showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and gritted his teeth, saying, "I've tried my whole life but have never seen a truly high-level spell. It's like an obsession that keeps my soul from finding peace."
"So, if possible, could you find a transcendental spell... no, even a top-tier spell, and lend it to me for a look?"
"A top-tier spell?"
Jiang Yan looked over with some surprise.
What's wrong with me in this world? I'm so cautious even when I'm having a dream.
"Wait, what kind of look is that?"
The man retorted defiantly, "Judging by your strength, you must have had some opportunities. But you need to understand, I am you. Without those opportunities, how much better could you be than me?"
"Let me think..."
Jiang Yan recalled his life before his rebirth and tentatively asked, "One of the 37 gods of the Federation, deputy commander of the 30th Abyss Trial, and an outstanding graduate of the Command Department of the Federation Military Academy?"
"That's not important. I've changed my mind. You'll have to produce at least one transcendental spell to complete our deal." The man paused, changing the subject.
"No category restrictions?"
No limit.
"That makes things simple."
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and sent a spell over.
Divine Art: The Blessing of the Holy Lord of Light.
"Perhaps you could try switching to Holy Light spells."
"!!!"
"A divine spell?! A divine spell worth at least 1 million points?"
The man's eyes widened as he sensed the magic emanating from his mind.
After a long pause, he cautiously asked, "But would the Holy Lord of Light be willing to favor a mortal like me?"
"Of course, I wish you good luck," Jiang Yan said with a smile.
At the same time, notifications from all realms sounded.
[You have fulfilled your wish from an unknown timeline and obtained the fifth Destiny Power. Now, you possess the ability to use the first Supreme Divine Art: Rebirth.]
Thousands of images have vanished.
Jiang Yan reappeared in the fragmented world, still touching the stone tablet with one hand.
"Holy Lord/Emperor?"
Two concerned voices rang out at the same time.
"I'm fine, just wait a moment."
Jiang Yan nodded in acknowledgment and then closed his eyes to sense the divine technique.
The power of this divine technique far exceeded his imagination.
The first technique, Rebirth, alone allows you to travel to countless different timelines and different pasts, acquiring additional knowledge and the strongest destiny power.
For example, the five worlds he experienced.
He obtained the power of destiny, "The Casanova," from the first world, and can temporarily borrow the power of the unique talent "The Casanova" when necessary.
In the second world, he acquired the power of destiny, forbearance. After using it, for a certain period of time, no one can see through your true nature.
Even the most tragic fifth world contributed his Destiny Power - Arcane Heart, which increased his spell mastery speed by 10%.
This spell is constantly evolving.
He can continuously acquire the power of his destiny from different timelines, possessing a multitude of talents.
No wonder the third Undead Emperor was almost omniscient.
With countless people as talented as him working together, the knowledge and secrets they acquire are simply unimaginable.
Unfortunately, he has not yet mastered the power of the last two techniques of the Three Lives, and he doesn't know what kind of great power they possess.
With a sigh, Jiang Yan temporarily suppressed his distracting thoughts and focused the power of the divine technique into his left eye.
He looked up at the door.
It's time to see what the third emperor left behind.
