The instant Jason Ji's foot stepped onto the stone-paved martial stage, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
"Ding! Quest complete. Host has received a God-Level Pack!"
"Would the Host like to open the pack?"
Without hesitation, Jason willed, "Open it!"
Of course, as he initiated the process, Jason couldn't help feeling a tremor of nervous anticipation. After all, if this so-called God-Level Pack turned out to be anything less than "godly," then… well, he had a pretty good idea of what the consequences would be. And in that case, life truly wouldn't be worth living.
Just as these thoughts flitted through his mind, a series of system notifications rang in his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host has received the God-Level Reward: Pure Yang Innate Supreme Cultivation!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host has received the God-Level Reward: Divine Forbidden Domain!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host has received the God-Level Reward: Sealed Immortal Slayer Sword!"
"Ding! Detecting that Host has bonded with the Immortal Slayer Sword and become its Master. Unlocking sword technique: Sovereign's Dominion!"
Hearing this, Jason finally let out the breath he'd been holding, whispering to himself, "I'm saved!"
As a fan of Defying the Evil God, Jason knew these three rewards were undoubtedly worthy of the title "God-Level." In the novel's progression, there were nine cultivation levels: Acquired, Innate, Star Condensation, Legendary, Epic, King, Saint, Supreme, and God-Level.
The Innate Realm was the starting point that all aspiring male cultivators dreamed of reaching. And Pure Yang-level Innate cultivation was an apex beginning, a true god-tier starting point.
To put it mildly, a cultivator with Pure Yang Innate cultivation could effortlessly defeat ten ordinary Innate cultivators. The energy within their meridians was ten times more abundant, circulating at ten times the speed of a regular cultivators, and their essence was far more refined.
As for the Divine Forbidden Domain, it was a forbidden domain of the gods, allowing its user to break through all limitations, elevate mortals, and slay enemies across an entire realm.
And the Immortal Slayer Sword? No further explanation was needed—it was the number one killing sword in ancient history, wielded by the ruthless Tongtian Sect Leader himself. Even though it was sealed, its power remained fearsome.
Then there was the sword technique unlocked with it—Sovereign's Dominion.
Sovereign's Dominion: Unleashes an overwhelmingly destructive force from the Immortal Slayer Sword, delivering a strike with 5000% attack power that cannot be dodged. (Due to the Host's limited abilities, this skill can only be used once per day.)
This was a fiftyfold power boost, one that the opponent had no way to evade—a move they'd have no choice but to take head-on. The legendary Immortal Slayer Sword technique lived up to its reputation!
Soon after, a character status panel appeared before Jason, much like in a game.
Host: Jason Ji
Cultivation Level: Innate Peak [Pure Yang]
Experience: 0/10000
Skills: Divine Forbidden Domain, Sovereign's Dominion [Immortal Slayer Sword Technique]
Weapon: Sealed Immortal Slayer Sword [1/6 Unsealed]
Comprehension: 45 [Max: 50]
Destiny Points: 100 [Earned through quest completion]
System Store unlocked at 1000 Destiny Points
It appeared that the Immortal Slayer Sword had five steals, and by bonding with it as its Master, Jason had unlocked the first seal, which granted him access to a sword technique.
"Next, I'll have to figure out how to unseal the remaining seals of the Immortal Slayer Sword and unlock all its techniques. That's the most critical task," Jason mused, analyzing his situation.
With a comprehension stat near the max of 50, his aptitude was extraordinary, practically off the charts.
This starting setup… Jason couldn't be more thrilled!
After one last glance at his character panel, Jason closed it and turned his gaze toward Lucia Dong, who stood just ten meters away.
This was his first time seeing this beloved novel character up close. Jason knew from the novel that she was beautiful, but he hadn't anticipated she'd be so breathtakingly stunning in person.
But alas, Jason wasn't one to indulge in sentimental feelings. According to the storyline, eighteen-year-old Lucia Dong had yet to transform into the elegant, gentle, and graceful goddess who would sacrifice everything for love. Right now, she was still the willful, proud, and self-centered second daughter of the Sacred Tang Empire's Dong family.
"What are you staring at, man? Do you want me to gouge out your eyes?" Lucia Dong frowned, her expression filled with irritation as she glared coldly at Jason.
Lucia was fully aware of the effect her beauty had on men. However, she had rarely encountered anyone who dared to gaze at her with such blatant disregard for her authority.
Hearing her, Jason raised an eyebrow. Just a moment ago, he had simply been mulling over the system's intentions for this quest. Since the mission required him to challenge Lucia Dong, could the ultimate goal be to turn him into the main antagonist who seizes the protagonist's opportunities?
Could this first step on the villainous path be to conquer and win Lucia Dong's heart?
After all, Lucia Dong was one of the main female characters in the original novel.
Frankly, Jason didn't mind. Being the protagonist had its perks, but being the villain had its own allure. And if he were destined to be a villain, he would be the biggest and the best.
Just as these thoughts flashed through Jason's mind, a frosty voice snapped him back to reality.
"State your name, man!"
Lucia Dong looked at him with a cryptic smile, her tone icy as she spoke. In her memory, no disciple from any sect or noble family had dared to behave so presumptuously before her.
"Jason Ji!"
"What sect or school?"
"None," Jason replied coolly.
Oh?
Lucia's lips curved slightly as she processed his answer, surprised that a lone, unaligned disciple could be so audacious.
"And what is your purpose in stepping onto this stage?" she asked, intrigued.
Jason hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.
"To defeat you."
Then, after a pause, he added, "And to make you, my wife."
What?!
Jason's words were neither loud nor forceful, but they struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
While this event was, indeed, a match-making competition, no one had ever dared to openly declare their intention to wed Lucia Dong to her face.
At that moment, even the onlookers in the high seats—the emperor Adrian Long of the Sacred Tang Empire and the Dong family patriarch Livia Dong—exchanged surprised glances.
"This young man… interesting," Adrian Long mused with a slight smile, watching Jason on the stage.
"Hmph, just another fool with a death wish," Livia Dong remarked dismissively.
"You… You've got a lot of nerve!" Lucia's flawless face turned slightly red as she listened to Jason's brazen words.
Her blush held a mixture of anger, murderous intent, and perhaps a hint of embarrassment. She hadn't expected that this young man, with his clean, handsome features and clear eyes, would have the audacity to say "make you my wife" to her face.
After all, she was the second daughter of the Sacred Tang Empire's most prestigious family. Not even a prince would dare say such words to her.
Lucia's chest heaved in anger. She clenched her teeth, her voice cold as she bellowed, "Scoundrel! Come face your death!"
Her chilling shout echoed throughout the martial arena, sending a shockwave through the crowd.
Everyone's expression turned grave. They knew well that the second young miss of the Dong family, the new commander of the Shen Ce Army, was truly enraged.
Jason nodded slowly, his heart beginning to beat faster.
"Miss Dong, please… grant me the honor!"
