Chapter 452 - 112: I Will Fight the World Alone
Qin Feng’s voice was calm, yet it carried immense weight, exploding like a clap of thunder in the dead-silent living room. It stunned everyone present. A "Divine Gift. Sealed Resurrection" that could work in the Real World?
It was important to note that the "Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill" Qin Feng had previously obtained, while rare enough to drive all Lord Players mad, was not a one-of-a-kind item.
Long ago, in the distant realm of the Viking Country, wreathed in storms and lightning, there had once existed a Legendary Level Priest player.
This Priest player was different from the rest. He dedicated his life to the creed that "life is paramount." The Holy Scepter in his hands was used only to heal the wounded and dispel evil; he was never willing to turn divine grace into a blade that could harm others. He was a rare top-tier expert in the Lord World who "only saved people, never killed them."
Relying on his unparalleled Healing Divine Skills and his compassionate heart, he accumulated an extremely high reputation in the Viking Country and even in other foreign realms. Even when facing the most bloodthirsty pillaging Lords, very few were willing to make an enemy of him—after all, no one wanted to cut off their own chance of being saved in a desperate situation.
His Legendary journey, however, came to a fateful turning point when he was exploring "Sky City Asgard," an exclusive, high-difficulty dungeon for the Tier Four phase.
That final, great Secret Realm dungeon, suspended above a sea of clouds, was filled with trials and traps left behind by a Destiny Deity. Moreover, Ancient Guardians powerful enough to be the end of even top-tier players lurked within.
This Priest player teamed up with four like-minded player companions. It took them three grueling months to reach the deepest part of the dungeon, the "Heroic Spirit Hall Core." There, before the statue of a deity, he unexpectedly triggered a divine contract that had lain dormant for a thousand years.
The light of the divine contract enveloped him like a golden tide, and an ancient Oracle echoed in his mind. In the end, he obtained the Lord World’s first publicly known "Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill."
When the news got out, the entire Viking Country was shaken. Countless large Player Alliances tried to win over or control this Priest player who now wielded the Power of Resurrection, but he politely refused them all.
Afterward, this Heaven-defying Divine Technique seemed to mark the end of his legend. Not long after obtaining the Divine Gift of Resurrection, this top-tier Priest completely vanished as if he had evaporated from the world, disappearing from the Lord World’s Field of View without a trace.
Two completely different stories circulated about his whereabouts.
The first was a grim, bloody tale.
Some claimed that not long after the Priest player obtained the Divine Gift of Resurrection, he witnessed the death of his closest comrade in battle.
To resurrect his friend, he resolutely chose to pay the price of "permanently reducing a large amount of Life Value and Ability Value," which caused his own power to plummet and reduced him from a top-tier expert to an ordinary player.
When his old enemies learned of this, they immediately assembled a Divine Chosen Army to raid his Lord territory. Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, his territory was breached. The Lord’s Hall was repeatedly crushed by the enemy’s Warhammers until it was ultimately reduced to a pile of rubble. He himself was killed while resisting, without even a chance for Resurrection.
The other version was more plausible.
Some Lord Players from the Viking Country claimed that after the Priest player obtained the Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill, he didn’t stagnate. Instead, he used the Divine Enlightenment that came with the Divine Technique to achieve a special miracle equivalent to "gathering all the Stones of the Gods," and ultimately succeeded in breaking through the level cap of the Lord World’s Ordinary Realms, reaching a level above 100.
The moment his level reached its peak, a golden rift leading to the Divine Realm tore open in the sky. As countless Lord Players from the same Plane watched, he transformed into a streak of light and flew into the rift, stepping into a Divine Domain untouchable by Mortals.
Just like all the top-tier Lord Players in history who had reached level 100 or higher, that Priest player completely severed his connection to the Mortal Realm. From then on, he existed only in legends, and no further news of him was ever heard again.
These two rumors have circulated for decades and are still repeatedly mentioned in various Lord World forums to this day. No one knows which is the truth, but this "Priest who only saved people" and his Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill became an Eternal legend in the Lord World. It also made later generations both yearn for and feel a healthy dose of reverence for the Divine Gift series of skills.
’Holy hell!’
’Divine Gift Authority can even apply to a "Resurrection Technique"?!’
’Doesn’t that mean any type of skill can be enhanced by Divine Gift Authority, becoming something that far surpasses a conventional skill?’
However, everyone also understood that behind the Heaven-defying ability of this "Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill" lay strict limitations daunting enough to make the vast majority of players shrink back.
The least costly of these restrictions was the consumption of what could only be described as an astronomical amount of resources. For example, resurrecting a single Tier Zero Divine Chosen Mortal Soldier required hundreds of pounds of Demon Crystals, a dozen Magic Scrolls, and countless basic resources.
If one wanted to resurrect a Tier One or higher Divine Chosen Extraordinary unit, the required resources would be enough to bankrupt a medium-sized Player Alliance in an instant. Furthermore, due to the rules of the Divine Art, the resurrected target could absolutely not break past the Tier Three threshold.
A more terrifying cost, however, was that the caster had to pay a permanent price. They either had to permanently sacrifice a large amount of their own Life Value, leading to a damaged foundation and a permanent decline in strength.
Or, they had to strip away a large amount of their core Ability Values, such as permanently reducing their attack power, permanently reducing their Attack Speed, or permanently reducing their Defense Power, with no way to ever make up for the loss.
It was precisely because of these almost cruel restrictions that when the news of Tingfeng possessing the "Divine Gift. Resurrection Skill" spread, it didn’t reach the point of making him an enemy to all, despite attracting countless gazes of envy and desire.
