Eternal Tower, Eighth Floor.

  As a traditional monster grinding and leveling dungeon, it posed no challenge for Ye Bai.

  Upon entering the eighth floor, Ye Bai immediately sensed something unusual.

  The place was empty, devoid of any players except for NPCs!

  "Perfect, I can go all out."

  If there were too many people, using Heavenly Thunder would draw too much attention.

  Following the Eye of Insight's guide, Ye Bai rushed to the nearest leveling spot and began slaying monsters, accumulating exploration points.

  "Wind Fury!"

  "Heavenly Thunder!"

  "...."

  Bolts of lightning struck down, and monsters fell one after another.

  On a distant hillside,

  An elderly man in blue clothing, leaning on a cane, watched someone grinding monsters and couldn't help but sigh,

  "Young people these days are much more formidable than we were back then."

  "Boring."

  Beside Elder Lan, a middle-aged Taoist stood, his gaze not on Ye Bai, slightly lowered.

  A colorful butterfly landed on his fingertip, then shattered like a bubble and disappeared.

  "You find everything boring, child.

  If you ask me, your catchphrase is the most boring of all!"

  Elder Lan seemed to recall something and said with a smile,

  "I'd love to see the day when the Supreme Being Carefree finds something interesting."

  "The world is the most boring."

  Carefree spoke again, "Elder Lan, are you sure you want to go to the Abyssal Plane?"

  "Yes, didn't you say you wanted to see me? What's the matter?"

  "The journey is fraught with danger."

  "Then I'll turn misfortune into fortune."

  "I brought this boredom upon myself."

  If others were to witness this scene, they would be too shocked to speak!

  The mighty Supreme Being Carefree, in front of Lan Tianqi, seemed like a junior!

  "Elder Lan, you are the highest authority on the soul..."

  "Stop, what nonsense are you spouting, aren't you human?"

  Elder Lan seemed a bit angry, striking his cane on the ground, he said indignantly,

  "Is your teacher Shadow Nine not human?!

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  He lives more like a human than anyone else!"

  With the last sentence, Elder Lan was clearly truly angry.

  Carefree, however, remained unmoved, muttering to himself,

  "Perhaps I am a butterfly, perhaps all of this is just a grand dream."

  Is it Carefree dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Carefree?

  This question had puzzled him for over thirty years, and he still hadn't found an answer.

  Once again, a shattered butterfly appeared at Carefree's fingertip.

  As the butterfly reformed, Carefree's figure began to fragment.

  Elder Lan sighed, "You're still hung up on this question....

  You're good at everything, child, except you care too little and think too much."

  "Before you leave, I have a question for you, Elder Lan."

  Elder Lan's expression turned serious, "Speak."

  The butterfly flapped its wings and slowly spoke,

  "Is there anyone in the world who is born knowing?"

  Born knowing?

  Elder Lan was puzzled, where did this come from?

  He was about to speak but was interrupted by Carefree.

  "No need to rush to answer, just answer before entering the Abyssal Plane."

  With that, the butterfly slowly flew away, from the eighth floor to the ninety-ninth floor.

  Leaving Elder Lan behind, continuing to watch the legendary Asura grind monsters, lost in thought.

  ...

  [He... left]

  Ye Bai glanced at the prompt in the lower right corner, feeling relieved.

  Shortly after he entered the eighth floor, the Eye of Insight was so frightened it became blurry.

  The last time it was blurry was because of the Supreme Being [Traceless].

  Every time he encountered a Supreme Being, the Eye of Insight would go blind, utterly cowardly.

  "Can't you have some backbone, show the spirit of your SSS Rank Talent!"

  Ye Bai was frustrated with its lack of courage, how could he have such a timid talent?

  Couldn't the Eye of Insight learn from him and be a real man of steel?

  Today's eighth floor was practically reserved for Ye Bai.

  Only someone like [Carefree] could achieve this.

  It was compensation for Ye Bai from yesterday.

  After all, they had schemed to seize the Demon God's essence.

  In a way, Ye Bai was used as bait, a very enticing one.

  With no restraints, Ye Bai's monster grinding speed was incredibly fast.

  What would take ordinary people several days to clear on the eighth floor, Ye Bai completed in less than 40 minutes.

  Unfortunately, the monsters here were all below level 60, and aside from some coins and equipment, Ye Bai gained nothing else.

  Once his exploration points reached 100%, Ye Bai summoned the Eternal Core Crystal to settle the clearance.

  "Calculating clearance rating...."

  "SSSS Rank clearance of the eighth floor, rewarded with [Glutton's Claw]!"

  An S Rank equipment appeared in Ye Bai's hand. He glanced at it but had no time to study it, so he tossed it into his backpack for later.

  After settling his personal rewards, a server-wide announcement echoed in Ye Bai's ears.

  "Player Asura has achieved SSSS Rank clearance of the eighth floor, rewarding all Eternal Tower humans with the BUFF [Gourmet from Another World]!"

  "Limited-time BUFF [Meat and Eggs for Hunger], food effects for Eternal Tower humans +30%, limited to 6 hours!"

  "Limited-time BUFF [Sweep Weakness], after death, Eternal Tower humans will not enter a weakened state upon returning to Eternal Core City, limited to 6 hours."

  "Limited-time BUFF [Experience Boost], experience gained by Eternal Tower humans +18%, limited to 3 hours!"

  "[Gourmet from Another World]: After using food, adds a powerful BUFF for 5 minutes, cooldown 5 minutes, limited to 6 hours."

  Among the four BUFFs, [Sweep Weakness] and [Experience Boost] were renewed.

  For the entire human race, the existence of [Sweep Weakness] lowered their trial and error costs.

  As for [Experience Boost], it allowed more efficient use of the limited-time BUFF, accelerating strength growth.

  "Gourmet from Another World... interesting."

  Ye Bai thought of the duo [Fate and Zhao Lin], these two BUFFs were particularly friendly to them.

  According to Fate's training plan,

  Even within the Eternal Tower, Zhao Lin had to keep eating.

  Clearing his thoughts, Ye Bai focused.

  "Next level!"

  ...

  "May you clear the Eternal Tower soon."

  Eternal Tower, Ninth Floor.

  Second Job Change Realm.

  A white light flashed,

  Ye Bai appeared on a giant stone, the stone floating in the void.

  In front of Ye Bai, three elemental gates appeared.

  [Wind], [Fire], [Lightning]

  [You can choose one to complete the job change and settle the clearance]

  [Or complete all of them and then choose to settle the clearance]

  Ye Bai had long heard about the information regarding the ninth floor's Job Change Realm.

  The process of job change was simple:

  Fight corresponding elemental monsters and collect the elemental cores they drop.

  Fuse the elemental cores to create new skills, unique to oneself!

  Based on the strength rating of the created skills, complete the job change and settle the clearance.

  Generally, a mage only needed to fight with one element.

  Ye Bai, mastering all three elements, had to create three skills if he wanted to advance equally, taking three times the effort of others!

  But, the effort was worth it!

  "Three powerful skills, just thinking about it makes my hands itch."

  Ye Bai's eyes sparkled with excitement.

  These self-created exclusive skills had a special feature: they could be used to create skill books!

  Selling skill books externally, the profit was as high as 99.99%!

  For this reason, the second job change realm was also known as the [Get Rich Realm].

  If one created a popular skill or a divine skill, they could ensure a lifetime of wealth and happiness!

  According to legend,

  The person who created [Wind Slash] made countless small fortunes just from that one skill, reaping endless joy.

  "The Fire and Lightning elements don't need to be rushed."

  Ye Bai calculated, looking at the Wind Element Gate,

  "Let's create a Wind skill first, I promised to restore the glory of Wind Mages, I can't break my word."

  The mighty Asura, a man of his word, disdained to be grouped with Shadow Nine!

  "Lower the bar a bit, an SSS Rank skill will do, don't make it too hard on yourself."

  With that, Ye Bai stepped into the Wind Element Gate.

  His body was lifted by a gust of wind, feet leaving the ground, Ye Bai was pushed into a secret realm space.

  Around him, fierce winds howled, and within countless whirlwinds, the silhouettes of monsters gradually became clear.

  Ye Bai heard a voice carried by the wind,

  "Attention! In this secret realm, only Wind skills are allowed!"

  "The secret realm space will continuously refresh Wind Element monsters, the more Wind Element monsters defeated, the stronger the refreshed Wind Element monsters, and the higher the chance of dropping high-grade elemental cores!"

  "Smelt Wind Element cores to create exclusive skills."

  "If dissatisfied with the exclusive skill, you can choose to reforge, consuming half of the Wind Element cores."

  "[Thunder Fury Mage · Wind Element] second job change, officially begins!"
