160: Log in to the Continent of Heroes

After eliminating the Rotten Tree Demon King, that low-spec perpetual motion machine of a monster, you, all alone, were drawn by the summoning light to the Continent of Heroes.

On the Continent of Mordoland, you neither gathered any subordinates nor widely accepted "wise consorts."

Because you were constantly either consumed by savage slaughter or accumulating slaughter from monsters, apart from your renowned name as the Dawn Hero, any other deeds attributed to you on Mordoland were merely fabrications by bards trying to earn a living.

You left behind only the titles of Hero of Dawn, Monster Terminator, Pinnacle of Combat Skill Weaponry, and Environmentalist; you left nothing else.

Perhaps there will be admirers who continue to spread your legend.

Perhaps some lonely maidens in the dead of night will regard you as their faith...

Goddess of Holy Light Guild.

Your very first step onto the Continent of Heroes led you to the Goddess of Holy Light Guild, guided by a senior hero under the Goddess of Holy Light.

There weren't many idle heroes in the guild headquarters; most of them were young men.

Apart from a few heroes who stayed for training and cultivation, most were engaged in conquering worlds ravaged by Demon Kings.

Of course, due to the initial differences in divine blessings and talents, the survival rate of heroes was not very high.

Only heroes who successfully completed their missions could return to the Continent of Heroes.

As for those worlds where missions failed, it was clear that besides the increased difficulty after a hero's death, the native inhabitants of that world would also completely fall under the clutches of monsters.

A hero's life being linked to the rise and fall of a world drove every hero with a sense of responsibility and mission to fight desperately and conquer the Demon Kings.

Of course, amidst the many heroes striving to defeat Demon Kings, there were also those who succumbed to decadence.

The one who came to greet you was a hero who looked like a middle-aged, jaded uncle.

According to the uncle, he recounted his once glorious yet heavy hero's journey.

He met many brothers and confidantes, and they shared both hardships and glory together.

Unfortunately, the Demon King they faced was too powerful and cunning.

Although they eventually succeeded, only the middle-aged uncle survived.

That feeling of aimless wandering after drawing his sword, that grief of losing his brothers and lover, he never wanted to experience it again.

Finally, the middle-aged uncle chose to retire, and since his talent was still quite good, the Goddess of Holy Light made him a resident NPC-type hero of the Goddess of Holy Light Guild.

Of course, this jaded middle-aged uncle also shared a lot of his own experiences with those reckless new heroes.

This significantly reduced the death rate.

However, heroes who died before even joining the Continent of Heroes were a different matter.

Under the Goddess of Holy Light, there are currently twenty-three heroes of S-rank and above, over six hundred A-rank heroes, and nearly ten thousand below A-rank.

However, only a few dozen retired and idle training heroes are currently on the Continent of Heroes.

In worlds invaded by B-rank and above Demon Kings, the battles between heroes and Demon Kings are protracted, year-long struggles that require a lot of time to conquer, unfolding as exhausting wars of attrition.

There are rarely any speed runs, but the growth rate is very fast.

As for the C-rank and D-rank continents where new heroes begin their missions, the battle conquest time is usually between one to two years, because the transcendent powers there are not too prominent, and the growth limit is very low.

It's rare for someone like you to spend six years in a C-rank world without it ending.

After getting to know a few other heroes from the Goddess of Holy Light Guild, you began searching for training facilities.

Your new divine blessing talent, All-Attribute Magic Mastery, is still undeveloped. Taking advantage of the fact that your exclusive hero mission has not yet been assigned, you decided to study and master it first.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you do not plan to team up with other heroes to conquer Demon Kings.

For no other reason than the fear that if you get carried away in battle, you might accidentally strike a teammate.

And if they couldn't withstand it, that would be a sin.

Of course, it's also possible that if your might is too great, you might genuinely be mistaken for a Demon King by friendly forces.

In that case, you would still inadvertently take a few innocent lives...

On the Continent of Heroes, there are many training holy lands.

You learned the complete compendium of magic spells and the art of a thousand refinements and ten thousand weapons at the Magic Workshop and the Weapon Master's encampment, respectively.

You also conveniently purchased a few pieces of high-tech firearms.

Melee weapons are weapons, and firearms are, of course, also weapons.

Your Weapon Master talent works effectively for both.

The boundless experiences accumulated from scratch by these imaginative heroes on the Continent of Heroes provided you with great convenience.

Within the Weapon Master's encampment, there was even a faction that specialized in handcrafting firearms!

They were passionate enthusiasts of guns and cannons!

Heroes cannot carry large weapons of mass destruction into mission worlds, and neither can Demon Kings.

But if a hero can learn the manufacturing process of these weapons and recreate their power in the world they descend upon, then it complies with the rules!

Thus, some heroes with the Weapon Master divine blessing began to research handcrafting weapons of mass destruction.

This formed a school of thought and even flourished for a time.

However, due to various inconveniences, handcrafting super high-tech weapons was not that easy.

But some manufacturing methods for guns and cannons were still easy for some heroes to learn.

You did not delve deeply into the research, only purchasing a few to experience the novelty.

You weren't idle for long; in just two months, your second world to conquer, your mission to save a world, had already been assigned.

In your first month on the Continent of Heroes, your name had already spread among many heroes.

A certain hero who subjugated and enslaved a Demon King was recorded by his superior goddess, made into a bragging asset, and even spread throughout the divine realm.

Having a hero under her subjugate and enslave a Demon King brought immense prestige to the Goddess of Holy Light, and many other goddesses were envious.

Subsequently, heroes from other goddess guilds also received divine oracles from their goddesses, instructing them to learn from you and take you as their role model... Thus, the name of the Dawn Hero spread through the exchanges among many heroes.

Although you were only a B-rank hero, being favored by a goddess meant your future was limitless!

Indeed, after killing the Rotten Tree Demon King, you advanced to B-rank hero.

The upward path of the hero's journey was opened.

And the random divine blessing card given to you by the Goddess of Holy Light was an example, an example of a goddess's favor.

The future big shot, Dawn Hero, a hero among heroes.

It's true, many heroes, encouraged by their own goddesses, eagerly began heading to continents ravaged by Demon Kings to conquer and emulate your deeds.

They were completely caught up in the fervor.

To this, you merely offered them silent blessings, expressing no opinions, fully respecting the fate of others.

In your second month on the Continent of Heroes, you had already learned a hundred and eighty basic magic spells; in the future, you just needed to become proficient and master them.

You purchased your first heros sword!

A growth-type weapon.

As a hero, you had your first sword!

The heros sword is an exclusive weapon for heroes, cast down by the divine realm to punish Demon Kings on every continent where they appear.

Heroes can generally obtain a heros sword on each continent, and the heros swords obtained by heroes can be fused to improve their quality! And increase the power they contain!

After essentially spending all the divine blessing points rewarded by the Goddess of Holy Light and feeling adequately prepared, a holy light once again shone upon you, and you began your second hero's journey on a mission!
