When normal professionals arrived in World 57, they would basically follow the world mission's requirement, raise their rank to War God, then hurry to defeat the World Boss and move on to the next world.
After all, World 57 had never shown any clue or hint that increasing one's rank beyond that would unlock special rewards or hidden opportunities.
Some had even tried raising their rank above War God, but they never received any rewards.
For ordinary people, trying to reach the Peak of Transcendent Lord God, even if they stayed in World 57 for an entire lifetime, they would never achieve that goal.
No one would waste time here for an uncertain opportunity.
Zhang Yue only persisted because he knew that reaching the Peak of Transcendent Lord God would unlock a special hidden realm.
It was within that realm that he could gain immense power.
Otherwise, even he wouldn't have been able to hold on this long.
But now that he had, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling great anticipation for this mysterious hidden realm.
He had to admit, Ouyang Ling'er was a genius.
She had actually managed to discover that reaching the topmost rank could unlock a super secret realm.
It was safe to say that this was a task that no one else besides Zhang Yue could possibly complete.
And even Zhang Yue had spent an entire day just to meet that requirement.
Now, he was very eager to see whether, in this hidden realm that only a Peak Transcendent Lord God could open, he could truly gain the tenfold power increase Ouyang Ling'er had spoken of.
Just as Zhang Yue was thinking that, suddenly, a semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him.
["Ding~ Respected Peak Transcendent Lord God, the system has detected that your identity has reached the highest level within the Realm of the Gods, and you are the only True God beyond the Lord God. Congratulations! You have obtained the [Divine Command]!"]
When Zhang Yue finished reading the contents on the panel, the next second, the entire panel dissolved into glimmering motes of light, which gathered in his hand and formed a golden token.
"So flashy for no reason…", Zhang Yue looked at the token in his hand.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Divine Command] (Special Item):
Description: A unique divine artifact that only a Peak Transcendent Lord God is qualified to wield. It can be used to open the special hidden realm known as the Divine Tomb. However, to activate the Divine Tomb, the opener must pay a heavy price, (Professionals must sacrifice all current resurrection counts. Death within the Divine Tomb will result in permanent death, with no chance of resurrection.)
Note: This item is bound. It cannot be dropped or traded.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Reading the description, Zhang Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.
["You can't resurrect after dying in the hidden realm."]
Zhang Yue immediately messaged Ouyang Ling'er, ["Do you know about this feature?"]
A moment later, Ouyang Ling'er replied, ["Huh? Are you talking about the hidden realm in World 57, the one that only Peak Transcendent Lord Gods can unlock?"]
Judging by her reaction, it seemed she hadn't known this detail beforehand.
Sure enough, in the next message, she said, ["I didn't know that. I only knew that opening the realm required paying a price."]
Zhang Yue said, ["That price is sacrificing all current resurrection chances. If you die inside, you can't come back."]
Ouyang Ling'er was shocked, ["That's way too dangerous! President, you'd better not go!"]
["If I'd known the cost for opening the Divine Tomb was that high, I never would've told you!"]
["If you end up dying in there, wouldn't I become a sinner cursed by the world for all eternity?"]
["That's fine,"] Zhang Yue said calmly, ["What I want to know is, can this hidden realm actually be trusted? Don't tell me it's some kind of death trap."]
["No way!"], Ouyang Ling'er said, ["I swear on Wu Haotian's dog head, this hidden realm is only difficult and risky, that's all. But as long as your strength is great enough, you can overcome every challenge. There's no guaranteed death, unless you're too weak!"]
["From what I've been able to find, this realm is said to be the tomb of the previous generation's Peak Transcendent Lord God of the Realm of the Gods. That's why it's called the Divine Tomb."]
Hearing that, Zhang Yue grew curious, ["If that's the case, then how did you know that I could gain up to tenfold strength after entering it?"]
["I checked every piece of information about World 57,"] Ouyang Ling'er explained, ["According to what's recorded, when the previous generation's Peak Transcendent Lord God was still alive, his power was more than ten times stronger than yours now."]
["When you enter the Divine Tomb, you should be able to inherit his legacy. So your strength should at least reach his level afterward."]
["But that's only if you can clear the realm,and make it out alive!"]
["Got it,"] Zhang Yue said, ["I understand."]
After a pause, Ouyang Ling'er added anxiously, ["Or maybe… bro, just forget about it? The risk is too big. If you really die in there, I won't be able to live with myself!"]
["This isn't something to mess with. I can get you into another world, one that can also give a massive power boost!"]
["No need,"] Zhang Yue said flatly, ["This one. I don't have time to wait."]
After all, he had already spent an entire day on this. Zhang Yue didn't want that day to go to waste.
Besides, those eight ferocious beasts were chasing him so aggressively, it was like they couldn't wait for him to hurry up and slaughter them.
How could Zhang Yue hold back from granting their wish?
Furthermore, though the Demon Emperor had lost to Zhang Yue in World 55 and failed to get a Resurrection God Stone, he certainly hadn't given up. He would continue searching in Worlds 66 and 77 until he succeeded.
If Zhang Yue didn't eliminate that tumor soon, the future threats he'd face would only grow stronger.
Besides, aside from level suppression, since his rebirth, Zhang Yue had never once been defeated by an opponent of equal level.
The hidden realm of World 57, by rule, couldn't have enemies exceeding level 300.
And even the Gate of Eternity was something Zhang Yue entered and exited like his own backyard.
As the saying goes, if it exists, it must have a purpose.
If World 57 had a Divine Tomb, then it had to be conquerable by professionals.
Therefore, Zhang Yue set his sights firmly on the Divine Tomb.
"Then it's decided, it's you!"
He looked at the token in his hand.
Just as he was about to activate it, Chen Zijin beside him suddenly patted him and said pitifully, "We haven't even eaten dinner. I've been fighting with you all the way till now, it's already midnight."
"I'm starving!"
Whenever Chen Zijin was hungry, she always had ideas brewing.
Seeing through her thoughts, Zhang Yue put the token down and said, "Alright. Let's log off and grab a late-night snack."
