Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

So, the ability of the Transcendent Set allows it to absorb the skills of other sets and make them its own.

Upon learning this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

This ability was simply too powerful.

Set skills are the essence of any equipment set, and most normal sets have only one skill.

The Transcendent Set, however, has seven skill infusion slots, meaning it can simultaneously possess seven different set skills.

And the infusion is flexible—Zhang Yue can choose whichever set skill he likes and fill it in.

This also remedies the regret of some sets being phased out due to low levels, even though their skills are incredibly useful and hard to part with.

Take the Void Set's Void Shield as an example—Zhang Yue often swapped out the Eternal Set during combat just to use this skill.

But now, he could directly infuse Void Shield into the Transcendent Set, keeping it permanently!

Thus, Zhang Yue chose to infuse the skill.

[Ding~ Congratulations! Your [Transcendent Set] has gained a new skill: [Void Shield]]

To Zhang Yue's surprise, the infused Void Shield turned out to be an enhanced version!

[[Void Shield] (Passive): Converts 40% of the damage dealt into a shield. The shield can be applied to teammates or pets, with a maximum value of eight times the target's max HP]

Zhang Yue recalled that the original Void Shield converted only 30% of the damage into a shield, with a maximum value of five times the target's max HP.

Since the Void Set was 7-star equipment, infusing it into the 10-star Transcendent Set boosted its skill to a 10-star level.

This automatic enhancement was seriously awesome.

Unfortunately, only one skill infusion slot of the Transcendent Set was currently unlocked. The second slot would unlock once its quality was upgraded to 11 stars.

"I almost forgot—this set can be upgraded."

Zhang Yue checked the upgrade requirements: consuming 9-11 star equipment would provide growth points for the Transcendent Set. However, the equipment consumed must match the slot type.

For example, upgrading the weapon required consuming other weapons; upgrading the armor required consuming other armor.

When the growth points for all seven pieces of the Transcendent Set reach 100%, a large amount of energy could be used to upgrade it to 11 stars.

The energy requirement wasn't an issue.

The main concern was the growth points.

The Transcendent Set could only consume equipment obtained by the wearer while actively wearing the set. Equipment acquired through purchase, trade, or other means couldn't be consumed.

If not for this restriction, Zhang Yue could have upgraded the Transcendent Set to 12 or 13 stars in no time.

Even so, given his current strength, gathering materials himself was a breeze.

Finally, the Transcendent Set had a maximum growth limit of 15 stars.

However, there was a hidden note under this limit stating it could be "unlocked."

This implied that later on, there might be a way to remove the 15-star cap, giving the Transcendent Set infinite growth potential.

For now, there was no need to worry about that. Zhang Yue decided to focus on upgrading the Transcendent Set to 15 stars first.

After reaching level 70, Zhang Yue's artifact Demon Contract also received an upgrade.

Description: Signing a contract with a demon comes at a price. Do you want to be the demon's slave—or its master...?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The newly added Slaughter Contract effect was quite impressive.

It perfectly compensated for the Eternal Set's removal and its attribute of 50% magic penetration.

As for the next upgrade, starting from the current 11th world, Zhang Yue needed to progress to the 16th world.

No problem at all.

After preparing everything, Zhang Yue didn't immediately challenge the world boss.

Before that, he needed to visit the Gate of Eternity.

Somehow, news of Zhang Yue's intention to enter the Gate of Eternity spread.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the gate's entrance, located north of Yongning Village, he encountered a group of veteran professionals who had specially returned from higher-level worlds to stop him.

"Brother, take advice from someone who's been there—don't go in!"

"I can't explain why, but I barely survived the Gate of Eternity ten years ago. Trust me—it's not worth it!"

"Brother, you're the first hero our Dragon Nation has had in ages. Don't throw your life away in there. You're our hope!"

Even Wolong himself sent Zhang Yue a message.

He didn't try to dissuade Zhang Yue. As his mentor, Wolong understood Zhang Yue's personality well—once he made a decision, nothing could change his mind.

Besides, with Long Two and Xuan Lan missing inside, Zhang Yue was determined to go in.

Thus, Wolong simply reminded him, ["Even with your strength, don't underestimate the dangers of the Gate of Eternity!"]

Hearing this, Zhang Yue replied, ["Got it."]

Listening to the professionals in front of him, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Relax. It's just a small dungeon. If I can go in, I can come out."

With that, Zhang Yue stepped into the shimmering light barrier, right in front of the veteran professionals who had barely escaped the gate themselves.

Unbeknownst to him, a black-clad assassin in the crowd silently observed him.

The assassin retreated to a quiet corner, ensuring no one was around, before opening his messenger interface and sending a message to a pinned contact:"Boss, Zero has entered the Gate of Eternity in the 11th world!"

At the same time...

Longcheng City, Capital of the Dragon Nation

In the Empire Guild Headquarters, Vice President Xu Aiguo had just ended a phone call and looked despondent.

The call was from his Eastern Nation partner, Inoue Amano.

Inoue blamed Xu for his son's death, accusing him of failing to eliminate Zhang Yue before the tournament and threatening to sever their partnership.

Xu Aiguo had reaped significant benefits from Inoue recently and didn't want to lose such a lucrative partner.

Just as he was fretting over how to salvage their cooperation, he received a report that Zhang Yue had entered the Gate of Eternity.

Suddenly, Xu Aiguo's spirits lifted. Excitement surged through him.

He thought, "This is my chance!"

Calling his secretary into his office, Xu began planning...
