Chapter 330 Level Leap
I rented a quiet room in a small courtyard in Xingyue City.
The night was as dark as ink, and there were no lights in the room except for a few streaks of starlight that shone through the window, faintly illuminating the empty room.
The last glimmer of light from the Astral Trial slowly dissipated, like the receding tide, and Lin Tian stood once again on the flat floor in the center of the quiet room.
He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within them, gold and silver light intertwined and flowed, as if containing a miniature starry sky. Then, the light receded quietly like the tide, leaving only a bottomless stillness and tranquility.
ended.
The Trials of the Overlord and the Trials of the Astral Realm are now complete.
Without pausing for a moment, he instantly brought up the attribute panel that only he could see.

[Talent: Enhancement (Unique Talent)]
Rank: ∞
Effect: Upon defeating a target, you will always gain "Upgrade Points". Upgrade Points can be used to upgrade the grade of any item, skill, or talent, with no upper limit.
(Each item or skill can be upgraded once without cost)
[Dominator] (∞ Rank)
Effect: Fully awakens the power of the primal sovereign, permanently increasing all attributes by 100% and all skill effects by 100%.
【Starry Sky Mystic Master】(God-level)
Effect: Establishes a primal connection with the boundless starry sky, fully awakens the power of the stars, and transforms into the embodiment of the stars. Permanently increases all attributes by 100%, and permanently reduces the cooldown time of all skills by 50%.
You have unlocked a new ultimate skill: Domination Domain!
You have unlocked a new ultimate skill: Astral Projection!
Two brand-new skill icons floated silently at the very top of the skill list, radiating distinct yet equally unsettling light—
One is a deep and majestic dark gold, seemingly capable of suppressing all things;
The other is a vast and ethereal silver-white, as if reflecting the entire starry sky.
Lin Tian first clicked on the detailed description of [Dominion Domain].
[Dominating the Realm]
Rank: S
Effect: Unlocks your absolute domain of dominance for 5 minutes.
Within the field:
1. All final damage you deal is increased by 30%!
2. Reduces the base attributes of all hostile targets within the area by 10%!
3. All rule interferences and negative states in your immune domain that are below "god-level" priority.
4. You can perceive all energy flows and rule changes within the domain.
Cooldown: 24 hours. Cost: A huge amount of mana and a small amount of Overlord's power.
Description: My stance is the law; my will is the domain. This is the majesty of the ruler!
Area-of-effect skills, combining damage amplification, debuff reduction, immunity, and perception, are considered strategic-level abilities.
Although the cooldown time is as long as 24 hours, the full 5 minutes of duration is enough to determine the outcome of a crucial battle.
In particular, the rule of "immunity to rule interference with a priority lower than that of a god" means that most control, curses, and negative environmental effects are completely ineffective against Lin Tian within the domain.
However, considering that Lin Tian already possesses the god-level [All Laws Return to Flow], there is some overlap in these effects, but multiple safeguards are never a bad thing.
He then turned his gaze to the [Astral Projection].
Star Projection
Rank: S
Effect: Connects with the source of the astral plane, consuming a huge amount of star power and mana to summon an "astral projection" of yourself to fight for you.
Projection characteristics:
1. Copy 80% of your base attributes.
2. You can use all your non-∞-tier, non-god-level exclusive skills (skill effects are 70% of yours).
3. Duration: 1 hour. Or until defeated.
4. The death of the projection will not cause you any backlash.
5. You can roughly perceive the field of view and status of the projection, and issue simple tactical commands to it (requires mental energy to maintain precise control).
Cooldown time: 12 hours.
Consumption: A huge amount of star power and mana.
Description: The starry sky reflects my form, my shadow traverses the celestial realm. This is the power of the Star Traveler!
It's a typical clone skill, yet it has an extremely practical design.
80% of the original attributes, 70% of the skill effects, lasting for a full hour—this is almost equivalent to having an additional top-tier combatant second only to the original.
Whether used for exploring unknown areas, containing enemy forces, assisting in attacks, or carrying out high-risk missions, its strategic value is immeasurable.
With a 12-hour cooldown, which is shorter than the Domination Domain, its everyday practicality is clearly higher.
While it may be slightly inferior to [Shadow Clone] in terms of clone performance alone, its one-hour duration is an unparalleled advantage.
The two new skills, one offensive and one supportive, one for crowd control and one for multiple lines, perfectly complement the key pieces of Lin Tian's current tactical system.
But the changes go far beyond that.
Lin Tian noticed that although his experience bar showed level 50, a faint golden chain mark was faintly visible behind the experience bar, along with a line of small, barely noticeable text:
[During the job change quest, experience gain is frozen. Current accumulated experience value: cannot be displayed (massive amount)].
At this moment, with the job change completely completed, the golden chain began to shatter and dissipate inch by inch.
Immediately afterwards, the long-dormant experience bar suddenly sprang to life.
Level 51.
There was almost no pause.
Level 52.
Level 53.
The experience bar surged upwards as if it had broken free from all constraints, each jump steadily advancing a full level.
Those accumulated during the battles against Elf Guardian Ella, Star Core Guardian Thor, countless Law Guardians of the Realm of Rules, the 99th floor lord of the Star Ladder, and the Star Spirit Guardian...
And the massive amount of experience stored up earlier due to the job change quest is now being released like a burst dam.
Level 54.
Level 55.
Level 56.
Level 57.
Level 58.
Level 59.
The rate of throbbing finally began to slow down.
The experience bar finally stopped at level 59, 99.8%, trembled slightly for a moment, and then—
Level 60.
Completely frozen in time.
Level: 60.
All accumulated experience has now been exhausted.
Lin Tian quietly felt the surging power within his body gradually calming and stabilizing, like the vast and deep sea after the tide recedes.
He casually added his limited free attribute points to Intelligence—every little bit counts, and he never underestimated the importance of accumulating them.
Just as he was preparing to further test his two newly acquired skills—
A cold, vast, emotionless system notification, yet clearly resonating in the deepest recesses of every soul, descended without warning.
It didn't come from my ears, but was directly imprinted deep in my consciousness, inescapable.
[System Announcement (Newbie Continent No. 9527): A player has been detected to have reached level 50 and completed job advancement!]
The preliminary rounds of the "Battle for Supremacy" will officially begin in 7 days!
For specific rules and competition format, please refer to the relevant entries in the system interface.
[Countdown to the start of the preliminary rounds: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 58 seconds...]
The announcement was played three times in a row.
Each time it played, the profound meaning in Lin Tian's eyes deepened.
He wasn't too surprised. From the moment he learned the game's name, "Battle for Supremacy," he knew it would inevitably involve brutal competition and elimination.
Unexpectedly, the condition for triggering the global process was that "a player reaches level 50 and completes the job change".
And this person was clearly himself.
The announcement did not disclose the specific name, which may be a kind of protection for the first person to achieve this, or it may simply be to add suspense.
Lin Tian opened the system interface, and sure enough, a new icon for the "Battle of the Myriad Realms Preliminary Rounds" appeared in a prominent position.
But he didn't click to check it immediately.
Because almost at the same moment the announcement was made, his keen senses had already detected that outside the quiet room, the entire Star Moon City, no, probably the entire 9527 Novice Continent, had fallen into an almost frozen silence in that instant.
He turned and walked to the window, reaching out to push open the tightly closed window.
The night sky remained unchanged, the Milky Way shone brightly, as if nothing had changed.
He gazed at it quietly for a moment, then looked away.
He could learn about the rules later; for now, he preferred to digest his newfound power first.
As for the uproar that this will cause in the outside world?
That has nothing to do with him. At least, not at this moment.
