Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 74: The Void Needs Talents Like You

Qin Xian’s body trembled slightly as he unleashed his skill, bearing a heavy burden in doing so. His mana was completely drained, and the skill 【Judgment Sermon】 entered a seven-day cooldown. 

Yet, the skill’s power was undeniably overwhelming, like a nuclear bomb with city-leveling strength. Once Qin Xian reached a higher level, he would be able to destroy entire nations with a single skill.

This was the terrifying power of an SSS-class profession!

Although the world’s Purification Rate reached 100%, and the Empress had been successfully defeated, no one looked joyous. The entire royal city was enveloped in a sense of desolation and decay.

Previously, the city had been filled with hundreds of thousands of players, countless teams bustling with life and camaraderie, filled with confidence for the future. Now, only a few tens of thousands remained.

The surviving players looked at Qin Xian with expressions of fear, as if he were a Boss even more terrifying than the ones they fought. From this moment forward, for many of them, Qin Xian would be the true Boss in their hearts.

Some players gave him a deep, lasting look before turning away, choosing to leave the dungeon without even challenging the final Boss, 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】. After all, who knew what might happen next? Better to walk away than risk dying at Qin Xian’s hands instead of a Boss’s.

Yet, more players chose to stay. Dungeons were always dangerous, and aside from the safety net of the main cities, the wilderness and dungeons were treacherous lands filled with peril. 

The Broken Heaven dungeon was a rare opportunity; if they missed it now, who knew when they’d get another chance?

“Where… is this?” Ye Xuan looked around at his surroundings, his expression filled with confusion. 

He remembered being trapped in the Emperor’s Coffin, certain he was doomed, when suddenly a mysterious force transported him to this strange space.

The setting seemed to be a lush hilltop, with verdant grass underfoot. Stretching out before him was a landscape of plains and hills, endless in all directions.

“This is the Divine Realm.” A soft, sacred voice suddenly sounded behind him. 

Ye Xuan quickly turned, finding himself face-to-face with an extraordinarily beautiful and divinely pure goddess. She radiated an aura of holiness and hesitation.

“Who are you?”

“I am Marika, the Eternal Queen, the creator of this world,” she replied with a gentle smile.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face showed a hint of reverence, and he bowed his head respectfully. “Thank you for saving me, Eternal Queen.”

Marika’s smile grew at his respectful gesture. “I sensed something unique in you.”

She spoke softly, “I saw you saving many human players within the dungeon, yet when you were in danger, not a single one returned to save you. Do you regret saving them?”

Without hesitation, Ye Xuan shook his head. “I don’t regret it. I saved them because I chose to, not for any expectation of repayment. Even if given a hundred chances, I would still choose to save them.”

Marika studied Ye Xuan’s eyes, sensing his sincerity in every word. She smiled.

“You seem to be the one we have been waiting for, the Child of Prophecy,” Marika said warmly. “I will take you to the Hall of the Gods, where you will receive the blessings of the deities. But before that, you must pass one more trial…”

Back in the royal city, the moment the Empress fell, an overwhelming aura began to spread, shattering the earth itself.

Boom!

A massive demonic hand crashed onto the ground, a single hand as tall as a small mountain. Following it, a colossal monster emerged before the players.

The creature stood dozens of meters tall, its entire body engulfed in terrifying infernal flames. Its eyes blazed like the pits of hell, filled with rage and madness. A pair of wings loomed behind it, large enough to blot out the sky and cast the entire city in shadow.

This final Boss is a true Void Warlord, one who has witnessed the presence of the Great Terror. His cunning and brutality surpass any other Boss…

The Void Warlord Kar’eg held a whip in his hand, his face twisted into a cruel smile as he looked at Qin Xian with interest.

“Human, I’ve been watching you from below,” Kar’eg sneered. “Your strength is impressive; under Level 30, yet you possess combat power exceeding Level 45.”

In the next moment, both he and Qin Xian vanished, transported to another space.

【Cycle Cage】: Banishes the target and the user to a Void Cage, reducing the target’s primary attributes by 50% and increasing all skill cooldowns by 200% for five minutes.

Inside the Void Cage, Kar’eg grinned viciously at Qin Xian. “You’re the strongest one here. Once you’re dead, only that woman poses any threat. Facing the great Void Warlord Kar’eg alone is an honor for you! But I’ll give you a chance to live.”

Kar’eg looked down on Qin Xian, like an ant that piqued his interest.

“Your methods are ruthless; I like that. Your talent is among the strongest I’ve seen. If you’re willing to submit to me, I can recommend you to the true master. In the Void, we need talents like you…”

Qin Xian glanced around the space, assessing this separate dimension where no one else could witness what was happening within.

Hearing Kar’eg’s offer of submission, Qin Xian couldn’t help but laugh, as though he had just heard the most absurd joke.

“You want me to submit to you, a mere Void Warlord?”
