236: Chapter 236 My Name is Shui Lan! A High-Stakes Gamble from the Will of Heaven!

The Water Blue Planet is a sphere.

To anyone, it is an incredibly massive sphere, one whose full entirety can never be seen.

And in the deepest, most central part of this sphere.

A place where ordinary people cannot venture.

A vast expanse of liquid starlight floats there.

Inside, countless tiny fragments shimmer with light.

The starlight flows quietly, seemingly just a magnificent sight.

But at one particular moment.

It suddenly erupted with a dazzling and blinding light, instantly shrouding the entire area before it.

The light condensed instantly, transforming into a translucent humanoid phantom.

Its face was blurred, but its eyes were like two miniature black holes, shocking to behold.

And within them, nebulae from the vast Universe were reflected.

It.

Or rather, it.

It is the supreme existence of the Water Blue Planet, the Incarnation of the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

Just a moment ago.

The two sentences that echoed in its mind made its consciousness, which had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years, fully awaken.

"If 50 times can accumulate [Heavenly Dao's Favor], are there any extra rewards for 100 times?"

"Is there also a chance to increase the Rank limit?"

In order to give the other party a clear answer, it had rarely awakened from its slumber, condensing this body that represented a human.

In fact.

Regarding the human Professional who asked it the question, Zhang Jian.

It had only recently taken notice of him.

Having Awakened his profession for only a few months, he had reached the highest level in the long progression System of Professionals.

His strength even far exceeded that of a regular 99th-level third job change Professional.

Furthermore.

The ability to quickly achieve a Breakthrough in the Rank limit of the Professional System was also to his credit.

It could be said that he was simply a Child of Destiny.

At first.

Although it had developed an interest in him, it had not been overly excited.

In its view.

Even if Zhang Jian's strength increased at an astonishing speed, making him the undisputed number one on the Water Blue Planet.

But whether it was planet-level fourth Rank, fifth Rank, or even higher.

To it, it made no difference.

Without reaching the Transcendence Realm, one is ultimately just a Mortal.

And an ordinary Transcendence Realm Breakthrough would not bring any qualitative improvement to the Water Blue Planet.

But Zhang Jian's performance refreshed its perception time and time again.

Profession mutation.

Forging a Divine-Grade body.

Increasing the total attribute point limit for Professionals on the Water Blue Planet several times.

Triggering rule changes several times, bringing about System updates.

As the Will of the Heavenly Dao, it was delighted by the natural occurrence of all this, and its interest in Zhang Jian grew stronger and stronger.

Until recently.

Zhang Jian, by his own strength, had cumulatively completed 50 Heavenly Dao rewards.

This triggered a promise left behind by the previous generation's Will of the Heavenly Dao.

It allowed the stone tablet it guarded to awaken, enhancing Zhang Jian's foundation.

It originally thought that this was the limit.

But it did not expect.

Zhang Jian actually appeared to have strength to spare, even wanting to go a step further.

Its eyes flashed, and it instantly arrived in front of a black stone tablet.

A faint crack had already appeared on it.

It looked surprised.

This mysterious treasure was said to have been passed down through generations of the Water Blue Planet's Will of the Heavenly Dao, obtained from the outer Universe.

Before it, it had never been activated.

Until Zhang Jian appeared, causing it to shimmer with light several times.

And by using the completion of 50 Heavenly Dao rewards as a catalyst, it had unleashed miraculous effects.

Looking at the crack on it, it seemed the wear and tear was not insignificant.

Regarding Zhang Jian's question, it hesitated.

But in an instant, its expression became resolute.

Its gaze seemed to traverse millions of miles, directly meeting Zhang Jian's eyes.

And when it spoke, a heavy voice simultaneously echoed in Zhang Jian's heart.

"My name is Water Blue."

"What is your intention in wanting to increase the limit again?"

Zhang Jian's voice hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.

"Naturally, I want to make myself stronger!"

The voice of the Will of the Heavenly Dao was ethereal, devoid of any emotion.

"You are already the strongest on the Water Blue Planet; are you still not satisfied?"

Zhang Jian sighed.

"Facing the Transcendence Realm, what does my strength even count for?"

"When an unrivaled opponent arrives, what difference does my meager strength make compared to others?"

Zhang Jian's tone seemed to be asking a rhetorical question, but his conviction grew increasingly firm.

"Being the strongest on the Water Blue Planet is not the end."

"planet-level ninth Rank is not the end either."

"Even that legendary Transcendence Realm is not my end!"

"I want to step out of the Water Blue Planet and head towards the Universe."

The figure of the Will of the Heavenly Dao swayed.

Its tone carried a hint of hope.

"Head towards the Universe?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian's voice was resolute.

"I want to take the Water Blue Planet and head towards the Universe!"

It was almost a repetition of the same sentence, yet the meaning was completely different.

Even the Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed stunned.

A moment later.

"Hahahaha!"

"I have waited for hundreds of millions of years, and finally, I have waited for it!"

Zhang Jian's wild declaration was, to it, like the most beautiful music in the world, making it immensely excited.

Its eyes were also filled with determination.

It opened its arms and closed its eyes.

Countless star core fragments inside its body were churning and cheering.

Ten pieces.

Twenty pieces.

One hundred pieces!

Among them.

It even included a complete star core that was about to be successfully nurtured.

It waved its hand without hesitation and cast them into the stone tablet.

Until its body became dim.

Until the stone tablet shone with brilliant light.

Only then did it pant slightly and stop its actions.

Then, with a serious expression, it made a vow.

"With this sacrifice, I stake everything on the Water Blue Planet."

Its eyes became fervent.

"I bet that Zhang Jian can surpass the limit of one hundred Heavenly Dao rewards!"
