The system has entered manual mode!
Could it be...
Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed, and he tentatively touched the nearest module—the talent module.
"A fatal blow, true luck, a thousandfold return, many children, many blessings..."
Fragments flashing with different colors of light flashed past my eyes.
Perhaps due to the system restart, talents of various levels are mixed together without any pattern.
"Huh, a unique level skill!"
Jiang Yan glanced at it; it was a fragment shimmering with seven-colored light.
Casanova (Unique): All members of the opposite sex will unconsciously develop a liking for you and remain continuously attracted to you.
Function Description: It allows you to hook up with a rich woman whose wealth far surpasses yours!
One of the providers added: Love can transcend race.
Wow! That's a really powerful skill.
Jiang Yan swiped away without hesitation.
—It's not that I have any prejudice, but this is a unique skill, and the corresponding difficulty is at the Dominator level. Even if the opponent is of the opposite sex in the Dominator level trial, it is difficult to make the other party feel good enough to violate the rules of the "All Realms" in such a short time.
He was self-aware; no living being in the myriad realms had ever cleared a dungeon of Dominator difficulty, so there was no need to increase his own strength.
He continued to fiddle with the fragments rapidly.
Resurrection... Scavenging... Aura of Domination...
Time ticked by, and Jiang Yan unconsciously sped up his dialing, hoping the system would return to normal at any moment.
He must take this opportunity to find a suitable SS-level talent.
"Hey, I found it!"
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up as a fragment flashing red light appeared.
Final Awakening (SS-level): Requires a type of creature or skill to advance one level. Each type of creature/skill can only be used once. Cooldown time is 1 hour.
This isn't the optimal solution, but there's no time to find the most suitable one right now.
Now it was time to verify the hypothesis. Jiang Yan's heart began to pound uncontrollably as he reached out and grasped the talent fragment.
A mechanical voice rang in my ears at just the right moment: "Manual selection successful, talent loaded, final awakening (SS level)."
It works!
Jiang Yan felt much more at ease and quickly pushed the talent module aside, turning to the dungeon module instead.
The current task is to find the "Wrath of the Dragon King" series of dungeons. Based on the information gathered in my previous life, this should be the only known dungeon with low difficulty and a shortcut.
Unlike the talent module, the dungeon module has no obvious color distinction, and each one is like a privacy screen that you have to peel off to see what the difficulty level is.
Fortunately, the patterns were engraved on the opaque surface, and with the help of memories from my past life, I could barely make them out.
Gray floating panels are arranged in the void, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Jiang Yan quickly looked over.
The first floating board depicts a human male with murderous intent, seemingly standing on a massive crater where thousands of people are trapped. Countless hands struggle to reach upwards, yet appear too afraid to extend beyond the ground.
The "Mythical Version of the Battle of Changping" series—Jiang Yan knew this infamous instance without even opening it; it had stifled countless geniuses with dreams across the myriad realms.
Without pausing, Jiang Yan quickly continued paddling backward.
The necromantic calamity... an endless horde of zombies...
Just then, a familiar mechanical voice sounded:
"Beep... The system is about to complete its self-check."
"5...4..."
Oh no! There's no time left!
Jiang Yan was startled and tried his best to concentrate on observing, moving both hands simultaneously as the instances flew by rapidly.
At that moment, a floating platform carved with a giant dragon came into view from behind.
The image shows a giant dragon soaring through the air with its enormous wings spread, spewing flames as if it were about to incinerate everything.
Wrath of the Dragon King!
Jiang Yan perked up and quickly dragged the floating board out.
Almost simultaneously, the dim space was illuminated again, and the figure of a stunning woman in a bright red palace dress slowly emerged.
"Newbie Trial Dungeon loaded successfully..."
"Self-check complete, system has restarted, timeline has been unified."
Two notification sounds rang out almost simultaneously.
Thank goodness, we made it!
Please make sure it's not below the hard difficulty level!
However, it's unclear whether the ultimate talent will conflict with dungeons of varying difficulty...
Before he could even catch his breath, Jiang Yan quickly looked at the uncovered floating platform.
Quest Name: The Fallen Holy Dragon King of Light (Overlord Level)
Quest Introduction: Legend has it that the Holy Dragon King of Light was originally a member of the Holy Light faction, but due to his excessive love of treasure, he was tempted by the devil and fell into corruption. For some unknown reason, after his fall, he is often in a state of extreme tyranny, destroying any living being that enters his territory.
Challenge Requirements: Challengers will be sent to the Island of Exile. Utilize all available resources on the island to strengthen yourself within ten days. After ten days, the barrier imprisoning the Holy Dragon King of Light will disappear. You must be prepared to face the hungry and enraged Holy Dragon King of Light until the barrier is restored. Special Note: Under the Dominator-level challenge, the Holy Dragon King of Light possesses his full power, at Diamond Tier 10.
Dominator-level assessment... Diamond Tier 10!
Jiang Yan paused for a moment.
Because the cultivation systems of all races in the heavens are so diverse, the "All Realms" set a unified standard based on energy intensity.
Taking the humans of the Origin Star Federation as an example, their initial level upon entering the various realms is level 1.
Once you reach level 50, you can advance to the Bronze rank.
After upgrading to Bronze Tier 10, you can advance to Silver, and so on, followed by Gold and Diamond.
Only after reaching Diamond Tier 10 can one begin to forge a divine kingdom and step into the realm of gods.
At this moment, the guide's illusory image solidified completely. She glanced at the floating platform in front of Jiang Yan and waved her scepter:
"Challenger, please select your temporary familiar for the trial. You can change it after you pass the trial. The maximum number of familiars you can choose is the Sovereign-level trial, and the maximum is the Epic-level familiar."
Thousands of different lights and shadows appeared in the void, clearly offering far more options than the previous extreme-level assessment.
From epic-level fire dragons, behemoths, and thunder titans to the lowest-level slimes, everything is available.
"I choose the goblin," Jiang Yan said without hesitation.
"Challenger, do you confirm your choice?" Perhaps because it was a Dominator-level assessment, the guide unusually asked a second time: "I must tell you, goblins rank second to last in combat strength among all the Familias, with extremely low potential."
"I'm sure," Jiang Yan nodded.
Now he has completely calmed down.
The Holy Dragon King of Light is a legendary creature, ranking among the top in combat power among its peers. At Diamond Tier 10, it is almost comparable to a human demigod.
Even epic-level clans wouldn't start at level 20. To pose a threat to the Holy Dragon King of Light within ten days, they would need at least ten thousand bronze-level warriors—an impossible task.
Given the resources of an isolated island, it would be a miracle if he could raise 10 bronze-level warriors with all his might.
So in a sense, choosing the Fire Dragon and choosing the Goblin are no different; both result in being instantly killed.
Since direct confrontation is not feasible, we must find another way.
Those who participated in "Wrath of the Bronze Dragon King" have said that temporary recruitment points will appear in the instance.
Goblins happen to possess two skills related to wealth.
This is the only possible opportunity.
Jiang Yan was never one to complain or blame others. Being able to trigger the bug and choose again was already lucky enough. The only regret was that if he had known he would draw a Dominator-level dungeon, he should have chosen a Unique-level skill.
Now, we have no choice but to take a desperate gamble!
"In that case, challenger, good luck." On the other side, the guide said no more, waving his staff and drawing the teleportation beam.
A familiar mechanical voice rang in Jiang Yan's ears:
"Trial teleportation is about to begin. Synchronizing all transit space timelines, please wait..."
"The timeline has been aligned. The challenger's loaded talent is 'Final Awakening,' which does not match the dungeon difficulty. A unique Tier 1 talent of the same type, 'Ultimate Ascension,' has been found and successfully replaced."
"Unified teleportation in progress..."
"The trial begins."
