Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 244 --Good News, or Bad News?

After making a run through [Godfiend Trials],

even Caelan himself had not expected that his level would rise all the way to the peak of five-star rank.

That rate of leveling was practically like riding a rocket.

But on second thought, it was not that hard to understand. After all, whether in terms of quantity or quality, the Heroic Spirits in [Godfiend Trials] far surpassed those in ordinary Instances. And that was precisely what made a [Limited-Time Treasure Instance] so precious.

"Looks like farming Heroic Spirits really is the fastest way to level up!"

Caelan gave a relaxed shrug, feeling thoroughly pleased.

Come to think of it, if he were back in his own world, reaching max level would definitely not be an easy task.

The Abyss really was a wonderful place.

Before he knew it, Caelan had already reached the tenth floor.

And by this time, the first batch of demon race awakeners had caught up.

When they saw Caelan preparing to make another move, several demon race awakeners immediately began pleading one after another.

"Lord Caelan, please show mercy and leave us at least a little soup to drink!"

"Yeah, yeah! We won’t fight you for the final Heroic Spirit, so could you at least leave these ordinary Heroic Spirits for us?"

Caelan’s only response, however, was a storm of blades that blotted out the sky.

The fierce sword light swept through the entire area. Those demon race awakeners who had hoped to grab a share did not even have room to resist before they were completely wiped out.

He had never been soft-hearted to begin with. In a perilous place like [Godfiend Trials], mercy would only bring disaster upon himself. Besides, those demons blocking his way were stepping stones on his path to leveling up.

Next came the eleventh floor, the twelfth floor...

Caelan barely paused at all as he charged in one breath all the way to the eighteenth floor of [Godfiend Trials].

But the moment Caelan and Evelyn stepped through the portal to the eighteenth floor, they were utterly stunned by the sight before them.

Neither of them had ever imagined that on the eighteenth floor of [Godfiend Trials], there would actually be a massive, blazing sun!

And not the dim, deathly, evil-radiating false sun that hung in the Abyss—

but a genuine miniature sun!

"How is this possible?!"

Evelyn’s eyes widened, so excited she looked like Columbus discovering a new continent.

She instinctively pulled out the ancient tome she carried with her and began flipping through it with trembling fingers, but no matter how hard she searched, she could not find a single record describing the scene before them. How could a true sun be born in a trial ground deep within the Abyss?

It completely violated every law of the Abyss she knew.

And the thing supporting that miniature sun was none other than the Sun Ancient Tree, a plant that had vanished from the world who knew how many ages ago!

Since when had an extinct species like this reappeared?

If someone had asked Caelan before whether he believed the sun could be the fruit of a tree, he would have denied it without hesitation.

Yet the scene before him now filled him not only with a profound sense of strangeness, but also with intense curiosity.

Why was there a sun on the eighteenth floor of [Godfiend Trials]?

And how could something like the sun actually grow from a tree?

At this moment, even Evelyn—who prided herself on being a top scholar and was well-versed in countless ancient texts and secret legends—could not explain how this had come to be. She could only stand there, staring in shock at the breathtaking spectacle before her.

Right then, the Supreme Staff, which had remained silent the whole time, suddenly became excited again.

The ancient runes carved along the staff lit up at once, radiating dazzling divine light. Without the slightest pause, it flew around and surveyed the surroundings before finally stopping in front of the miniature sun.

"We meet again, my old friend!"

The voice of the Supreme Staff carried a trace of age, yet also unmistakable excitement.

The surface of the little sun immediately became lively. Golden flames danced gently, transforming into bands of soft light.

It affectionately wound itself around the Supreme Staff, like a child acting spoiled after a long-awaited reunion. Even its originally scorching heat turned gentle, not harming the Supreme Staff in the slightest.

This time, however, the Supreme Staff put on an expression of disdain. Its shaft swayed slightly, dodging those bands of light.

"All right, all right, don’t stick so close to me!"

"Don’t think that just because you’re acting cute and trying to win me over, I’ll take you away from here. Keep dreaming!"

"Right now, you need to understand one thing. The only one who can save you is yourself. It all depends on whether you’re willing to pay the price."

As soon as those words fell, the miniature sun instantly quieted down. The flickering flames stiffened ever so slightly, as though it were thinking.

In only a brief instant, it made its decision. A brilliant golden radiance suddenly erupted, transforming into an incomparably pure stream of light-element energy that swept straight toward Caelan and Evelyn.

Caelan instinctively tried to defend himself, but the Supreme Staff stopped him.

"Don’t move. This is its sincerity."

In the next second, the gentle light-element energy flowed into his body. Caelan felt an immediate sense of comfort spreading through him, while all of his light-attribute skills seemed to be infused with tremendous power. At the same time, a notification appeared clearly in his mind:

[You have received the Blessing of the Sun’s Origin. All light-attribute skills permanently gain 10% increased damage!]

Beside him, Evelyn likewise felt her power rise, her eyes brimming with delight. The school of magic she specialized in happened to be light magic, so this blessing was undoubtedly an enormous stroke of fortune for her.

Sensing the changes in the two of them, the Supreme Staff finally showed a satisfied expression and slowly spoke to the miniature sun, which was still radiating gentle warmth.

"Hurry up and change forms. Otherwise, we won’t be able to take you away from here!"

The miniature sun swayed lightly, then directly transformed into a seed.

At the same time, dense runes surfaced across the bark of the Sun Ancient Tree.

Immediately afterward, a massive eruption of fire elements burst forth, ultimately setting the Sun Ancient Tree completely ablaze.

A full thirty seconds later, the only thing left was half of the tree’s trunk, exposing snow-white branches and leaves.

At the same time, an item description appeared before Caelan’s eyes.

[Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree]

[Effect: After use, it can revive a target that has already died.]

[Friendly reminder: To revive the target, a certain amount of the target’s bodily tissue must still be preserved.]

...

For Caelan, this expedition had yielded an absolutely enormous harvest!

Especially the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree]—it was practically equivalent to having an extra life!

Meanwhile, in Fallen City,

Jester Tycoon had originally been enjoying a wonderful lunch when one of his subordinates suddenly came hurrying back with a report.

"Master, there’s a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

Jester Tycoon: ????
