Chapter 69: Chapter69-Leveling Up, Opening the Divine Chest
Looking at the fervent and devout gazes of these soldiers, John’s heart stirred.
If these people truly erected a statue for him and worshiped it day and night, then at his current stage, there was a chance that he could obtain Power of Faith from believers.
Power of Faith was one of the most miraculous special energies in this world.
It could achieve all kinds of miracles.
For example, as long as enough Power of Faith gathered on a person, that person could even directly ignore all intermediate leveling processes and ascend to godhood in a single step.
It could even condense divinity out of nothing and grant one a unique status power of their own.
"I didn’t expect that I could even obtain Power of Faith from this small world.
"This is truly an unexpected surprise."
John felt a faint joy in his heart.
Power of Faith was extraordinarily miraculous. Even after he returned to the main world, the Power of Faith provided by this small world could still cross the barriers and continuously flow to him.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the God of the Undead had set his sights on this small world.
Many gods, in order to maintain their divinity and push their divinity higher, would deliberately cultivate a group of believers that belonged solely to them.
At this moment, some blacksmiths who were quick with their hands and highly skilled had already begun carving John’s statue.
Even though it was only a rough prototype, it still made countless soldiers kneel from the depths of their hearts.
Wisps of golden Power of Faith emerged from their bodies and rapidly merged into John.
[Ding! You have received worship from believers. Faith Points +10!]
In just this brief moment, he had already harvested a total of ten Faith Points.
Although John had not truly stepped onto the Path to Divinity yet, he had already gained a group of believers in advance.
"Not bad. This is a good thing."
John smiled faintly. Then, with a thought, he prepared to exit the dungeon.
Sensing that John was about to leave, the highest commander immediately knelt in worship.
"Thank you for your protection, divine envoy. May your glory endure forever!"
Amid the worship of the crowd, John’s body was covered in white light, and he left this small world.
...
At the same time, the outside world also received the announcement that John had cleared the God-Rank Second Class Advancement Dungeon.
"What’s going on? Class Advancement Dungeons can actually have upgraded difficulty?"
"Outlander is way too terrifying. Many of us haven’t even touched the Second Class Advancement quest yet, and he has already cleared an upgraded difficulty version."
"As expected of the current number one player."
"I’m convinced. I originally thought this guy had been built up by resources from the major guilds, but looking at it now, do the major guilds even have that ability?"
...
At this moment, every player was shocked.
They had never imagined that the gap between themselves and Outlander would be pulled so wide.
The major guilds were even more shaken. They were willing to pay any price to cultivate a Second Class Advancement player who could catch up to Outlander as soon as possible.
...
As for the one who had caused all this, John was already hiding inside a stretch of forest.
At this moment, he began taking inventory of his gains.
"First is the Second Class Advancement Scroll."
With a thought, a golden scroll appeared in John’s hand.
[Second Class Advancement Scroll]
: All-Class Magus
[Effect]: After use, unlocks the level restriction for Second Class Advancement All-Class Magus. Maximum level increased to Lv.140.
...
"Use."
With a thought from John, the scroll instantly shattered and transformed into golden light that entered his body.
[Congratulations! Player has unlocked Second Class Advancement All-Class Magus. Level restriction has been removed!]
"Level up!"
The moment it was unlocked, John decisively used the EXP stored in his experience pool to level up.
After clearing an entire dungeon, combined with the EXP he had previously accumulated and the EXP Stones given to him by City Lord Shyron, his total accumulated EXP had reached 3,870,000.
Now that it was suddenly spent in one go, dense leveling notifications instantly rang beside his ears.
[You have consumed 208,580 EXP. Your level has increased to Lv.31. Free Attribute Points +32!]
[You have consumed 320,000 EXP. Your level has increased to Lv.32. Free Attribute Points +33!]
[You have consumed...]
...
John spent all his EXP in one breath and directly raised his level to Lv.38.
He opened his panel.

"Leveling up really is difficult."
John looked at this panel.
To others, perhaps it was already terrifying enough.
But to him, it was still far from sufficient.
Then, with a flash of light in his hand, a treasure chest emitting faint-blue mysterious radiance appeared.
It was none other than the God-Rank Equipment Chest he had just obtained.
Previously, he had obtained a God-Rank Skill Chest, and after opening it, he had directly obtained True Sight.
He wondered what good item this God-Rank Equipment Chest would give him.
[Divine Chest]
[Description]: After opening, you will randomly obtain one piece of God-Rank equipment.
...
Looking at the treasure chest before him, John took a deep breath.
"Open!"
As his voice fell, the Divine Chest in his hand suddenly erupted with divine light.
At first, the divine light was dazzling.
Then, it gradually dispersed.
This was the difference between a Divine Chest and other treasure chests.
Just the process of opening it was enough to reveal how extraordinary it was.
As the divine light gradually faded, the outer shell of the treasure chest slowly dissolved.
In the end, a book with a mottled cover, yet radiating supreme divine might, was revealed.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the God-Rank equipment: Divine Armament Compendium!]
"Divine Armament Compendium?"
