Chapter 61: Mysterious Man and Woman, Heading to the Temple of Destiny!!

After that, he took out the enhancement stones and skill stones, and began upgrading his equipment and skills.

[System Prompt: Consumed 5 enhancement stones, Rune Greatsword enhancement successful, level +1!]
[System Prompt: Consumed 10 enhancement stones, Rune Greatsword enhancement failed, level +0!]
...
[System Prompt: Consumed 5 enhancement stones, Iron Helmet enhancement successful, level +1!]
...
[System Prompt: Consumed 5 enhancement stones, Iron Greaves enhancement successful, level +1!]
...
[System Prompt: Consumed 5 enhancement stones, Rune Shield enhancement successful, level +1!]
[System Prompt: Consumed 10 skill stones, Sea King's Wrath LV1 upgraded to LV2!]
...

Not stopping until almost all of his enhancement stones and skill stones were completely exhausted, Ye Chuyun finally ceased his actions.

He pried the [Fire Demon Stone] out of the [Storm Blade +5] and embedded it into the [Rune Greatsword +5].

With this, the [Storm Blade +5] could be considered officially retired.

The [Iron Helmet], [Iron Greaves], [Rune Shield], [Rune Pauldrons], [Stone Bracers], and other items had all been enhanced to their maximum levels.

As for his skills:
[Reinforce LV1], [Sea King's Wrath], [Flying Fire Meteor], [Mind Control], [Supreme Gold Shield], [Origin Returning True Qi], [Teleportation], [Cloning Technique], and other skills.

They were all upgraded to their maximum levels as well.

Once these skills reached max level, their potency increased significantly.

His combat power experienced yet another explosive surge.

Combat Power: 12,262 (11,682 + 580)

This current combat power was the absolute limit of what he could achieve at the moment.

If he wanted to improve further, his only options would be leveling up or acquiring better equipment.

However, these were things that Ye Chuyun found somewhat difficult to achieve right now.

"It's time to set off for the Temple of Destiny."

With a solemn expression, Ye Chuyun felt he was finally prepared.

[System Prompt: Do you wish to enter the Temple of Destiny?]

"Enter!"

Ye Chuyun answered without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

The moment he made his decision, a pillar of light descended from the heavens, carrying Ye Chuyun away into a strange space.

Yet, almost simultaneously as Ye Chuyun vanished, two figures materialized out of thin air.

Both figures were shrouded in a haze of mist, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Then, a deep, steady male voice sounded:

"To think that less than three days after Blue Star's initial descent into the World of Gods and Demons, someone has already reached the First-Tier level and headed to the Temple of Destiny. Their strength looks quite impressive."

No sooner had the voice fallen than a woman's voice echoed from within the mist:

"Indeed impressive. I just made a brief and superficial observation of this District 118 and found that this area seems to have triumphed in multiple resource challenges. Its resources are several times more abundant than other districts, and everyone's level and combat power stand out as top-tier among all the districts I've surveyed."

The male voice spoke up again:

"It's just that the human who left transmitted away too quickly, so I couldn't scan his combat power. Since he's already reached Level 10 and obtained so many resources, his combat power must be around 4,000 at least."

Woman's voice: "At 4,000, he should be able to attempt the D-rank Heavenly Dao Evaluation. If he manages to complete it, he might just secure a very powerful legacy inheritance."

Male voice: "Let's hope he passes. Still, I'm not very optimistic about this human. No matter what, Blue Star remains a low-tier world; their innate physiques are fragile, and they haven't mastered innate supernatural powers or traits. Their starting point is far inferior to other high-tier worlds."

Woman's voice: "You can't quite say that. The Heavenly Dao is fair. Humans from low-tier worlds can obtain equipment, skill books, trait imprints, and special items by slaying fierce beasts, whereas people from high-tier worlds face restrictions everywhere."

Male voice: "That's true enough. I just wonder if they can hold on. Many individuals from low-tier worlds are worn down and destroyed by the various trials of the Heavenly Dao long before the War of the Myriad Races even begins."

Woman's voice: "Never mind all that. We crossed regions to come here simply to gauge Blue Star's developmental potential and see if they are suited to be our allies. For now, apart from Novice Village 118, the potential of this Blue Star is quite mediocre."

Male voice: "Heh, let's wait and observe a bit longer. After all, Blue Star has descended into the World of Gods and Demons for less than three days; it's still too early to make rash judgments about their potential."

"However, if that human just now can't even pass the D-rank evaluation, then this Blue Star won't be worth our attention."

Woman's voice: "Let's hope he gives us a surprise."

As the words faded, the two voices vanished.

The poisonous swamp returned to its original state.

...

[System Prompt: You are the first person from District 1 to arrive at the Temple of Destiny, Prestige +20.]
[System Prompt: You have arrived at the 98,656th Temple of Destiny.]
[System Prompt: Your prestige has reached 200, granting you the blessing of the Heavenly Dao; all attributes increased by 20 points.]
[System Prompt: You have arrived at the Temple of Destiny. Please enter quickly and begin your Heavenly Dao Evaluation.]

"Well, well, I've received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao once again."

Ye Chuyun opened his eyes and saw a beam of white light descending from the sky, enveloping him.

The next second, all of his attributes soared simultaneously, each increasing by 20 points.

This stroke of fortune came a bit too suddenly.

His combat power surged once again, reaching 12,422!

Nodding in satisfaction, Ye Chuyun began to survey his surroundings.

It felt as though he had arrived in a city floating among the clouds.

Although the ground beneath his feet looked soft and fluffy, stepping on it felt as solid as walking on flat earth.

Before him stood a majestic, boundless colossal palace.

On the plaque of the giant palace were inscribed two grand characters: "Heaven's Will".

It was none other than the Temple of Destiny!

Suspended above the sea of clouds in the sky, half-hidden and half-revealed, the palace resembled a heavenly abode.

"Although I witnessed this sight in my past life, seeing it again still leaves one in awe."

Filled with deep emotion, Ye Chuyun strode toward the giant palace.

As he reached the palace gates, with a loud rumble, the heavy doors opened automatically, revealing a long corridor inside.

Without a moment of hesitation, Ye Chuyun lifted his foot and walked in.

Stepping into the corridor, Ye Chuyun looked around as if it were his first time here.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were forged from white jade, standing a hundred fathoms tall and carved with patterns of various rare beasts and exotic creatures, looking extraordinarily magnificent.

At the far end of the corridor stood a massive portal of light.

Before long, he reached the end of the corridor, passed through the portal of light, and entered an unimaginably grand hall.

[System Prompt: Mutual slaughter is prohibited here. Violators will be executed!]

As soon as Ye Chuyun stepped into the hall, he immediately drew the attention of everyone inside.

"Oh, someone new is here. Who is it?"
"Black hair, yellow skin, from Blue Star? Looks like a human."
"It's rare for someone from a low-tier world to enter the Temple of Destiny. How interesting."

Before he knew it, Ye Chuyun had become the center of attention in the entire hall.
