Early the next morning.
The faint ringing of an alarm clock drifted from Yu Zhu’s room. It sounded a few times before abruptly stopping.
A few seconds later, a scream pierced the air from Yu Zhu’s room.
"Looks like she already saw the qualification activation prompt."
In the dining room, Yu Zhun couldn’t help but chuckle as he brought out breakfast. He called out toward Yu Zhu’s room, "Come eat if you’re awake!"
The screaming came to a screeching halt.
THUD THUD THUD—
Barefoot and sporting a messy bedhead, Yu Zhu dashed out of her room. Looking at Yu Zhun, who had already finished his chores, and the breakfast spread covering the dining table, she couldn’t help but sniff the air.
A familiar aroma wafted over; it was Yu Zhun’s fried eggs.
"You... you’re already back?" Yu Zhu asked, dumbfounded. "Didn’t you say it would take half a month to clear that Giant Demon Valley?"
"I found a new clearing method, so I finished early," Yu Zhun said with a smile, stepping forward to pull up the slipped shoulder strap of the girl’s nightgown. "Hurry up and wash your hands and face. It’s time to eat."
"Oh..." Yu Zhu subconsciously turned to head toward the bathroom. After taking two steps, she paused, suddenly remembering the massive discovery she had made upon waking up. "Yu Zhun! Let me tell you something super, super, super amazing!"
"I know, you activated your Divine Revelation qualification early." Yu Zhun waved his hand, interrupting her with a perfectly calm expression. "Go wash up."
Yu Zhu stared at him blankly, a visible question mark seemingly written across her face.
After washing up in a daze, Yu Zhu finally began to process the situation. She trotted over to the dining table, sat down, and fixed a relentless stare on Yu Zhun.
"Yu Zhun, did you do this?"
"Something like that." Yu Zhun spoke with a nonchalant expression. "I reached out to the powers behind Divine Revelation and spent a little money to activate it for you in advance."
After learning about the guaranteed S-rank talent, Yu Zhun had vaguely guessed that capable experts might make similar preparations for their descendants or relatives, giving them a better head start.
But why had he never heard of such a thing before?
Perhaps everyone was intentionally keeping it a secret. If a player drew a one-in-a-million S-rank talent, they would undoubtedly be thrilled. However, if they knew they were guaranteed an S-rank talent, the situation would be entirely reversed. Getting an S-rank talent would instead feel like a letdown.
Therefore, Yu Zhun didn’t really want Yu Zhu to know about the guaranteed S-rank talent. This way, no matter what talent she ultimately drew, she could be genuinely happy.
Although Yu Zhu would inevitably guess the truth once she came into contact with the Divine Demon Store after her First Turn, it wouldn’t matter by then.
"Yu Zhun, you’re amazing!" Yu Zhu looked delighted. She picked up a fried egg with her chopsticks and took a big bite with a loud CHOMP. "I wish I could enter the Divine Revelation World right this second."
In truth, Yu Zhu hadn’t been incredibly eager to enter the Divine Revelation World before. After all, it was something she had spent her entire three years of high school studying. It felt more like she had studied it so much she was sick of it.
But things were different now.
Because Yu Zhun had entered the Divine Revelation World.
It was like seeing a game about to be released online; you might look forward to it, but that anticipation had its limits. But if your roommate managed to snag a closed beta key and played the game right in front of you every day while you could only sit on the sidelines and watch...
That feeling was completely different.
"There’s no rush; finish your breakfast first." Yu Zhun poured Yu Zhu a glass of milk. "By the way, you’re still choosing to be a Priest, right?"
Before entering the Nether Abyss, Yu Zhun had been worried about potential accidents, so he had already pre-selected all the Equipment he was saving for Yu Zhu. If Yu Zhu didn’t choose the Priest Profession now, it would actually be a bit awkward.
"Of course I’m going to be a Priest!" Yu Zhu downed her milk in one go with a series of GLUG GLUG GLUG. "I’m done eating!"
This was probably the fastest Yu Zhu had ever eaten breakfast.
Yu Zhun let out a helpless laugh. "Alright, go on then."
"Mhm!" Yu Zhu sat comfortably on the sofa, rolled her eyes back, and slumped softly against the cushions. Her consciousness had already entered the Divine Revelation World.
Yu Zhun stopped eating his breakfast and looked over at Yu Zhu. He wondered what kind of talent she would draw.
[Welcome to the Divine Revelation World]
As this line of text appeared before her eyes, the environment around Yu Zhu rapidly shifted. By the time she regained her footing, she found herself standing in a space of primordial chaos.
Before her stood a mirror. The surface of the mirror was pitch-black, displaying only lines of text.
[Please carefully choose one of the following five Initial Professions. It will determine your future path and cannot be changed once selected.]
[Warrior: A melee Profession excelling in both offense and defense. With a Long Sword in hand, you shall Charge through enemy lines, invincible and unstoppable.]
[Assassin: A melee Profession focused on extreme offense. Utilize prowling and Stealth to find the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow to your opponent.]
[Priest: A support Profession dedicated to reinforcing the team. Providing Healing and buffs, you will become the steadfast backup for your allies.]
[Mage: A ranged Profession focused on Magic damage. Water, fire, earth, and wind—the mighty power of the elements shall be with you.]
[Archer: A ranged Profession focused on physical damage. Draw your bow and nock an arrow; you shall slay formidable foes the moment you release the bowstring.]
"Choosing an Initial Profession, huh..." Yu Zhu reached out and, without hesitation, selected the Priest Profession.
A human silhouette began to emerge within the pitch-black mirror. The figure was identical to her, but the Yu Zhu in the mirror wore a black Priest Robe and held a Priest’s Book in her hands.
[Do you wish to select Priest as your Initial Profession?]
[Yes] [No]
Was this what she would look like after becoming a Priest?
Seeing the confirmation prompt, a sudden wave of playfulness washed over Yu Zhu. She selected [No] and then proceeded to preview the other Professions one by one.
Upon selecting Warrior, her reflection swapped into a set of Leather Armor, wielding a Long Sword that was nearly as tall as she was.
