Faustus walked up to the World Tree and opened the world authority interface.

[Aerial Realm — Complete Pocket World]

Sovereignty Restriction: Human Race

Authority: Faustus — First Sequence

Current mineral refresh rate: +100%

Current monster refresh rate, including quality: +100%

Current world area: +100%

Current drop rate, including grade: +100%

Current World Tree level, upper limit: Pocket World: Sapling — growth suspended

...

As expected, after the Aerial Realm advanced by one level, all of its attributes had doubled.

But what Faustus valued most was still the refresh rate and quality of monsters.

Although the Aerial Realm’s current rate was already twice as fast as when it had still been a fragmented world, he still felt it was not enough.

Because the players were currently in the middle of an explosive growth phase.

Especially after the appearance of the Phantom Emporium, the difficulty of leveling up for players was visibly decreasing day by day.

As the players’ strength soared, monsters above legendary-grade had suddenly become scarce.

This was something that would have been unimaginable in his previous lives.

Legendary-grade!

That was not some cabbage growing by the roadside.

That was an existence players had looked up to for more than a year.

But now, with the support of arcane technology, forget legendary-grade—even supreme-grade monsters were things players dared to charge at and hack down.

That was how fierce they had become.

Because of that, monster resources above legendary-grade were now severely insufficient.

"There are two methods right now," Faustus pondered. "One is to continue growing the World Tree. The other is to open up new worlds. I can do both at the same time."

Thinking of this, he directly took out the bottle of Sacred Spring of Life he had received as a mission reward and used it.

[Ding! You have used Sacred Spring of Life!]

[Prompt: The World Tree sapling has entered its growth phase. World upper limit progress: 50%.]

Faustus instantly understood.

So one bottle of Sacred Spring of Life was only enough for half the progress.

If he wanted to push the progress to 100% and allow the Aerial Realm to break through into a medium world, he would need another bottle!

Since that was the case, he would take it slowly.

Next, he took out the Class Awakening Scroll and used it.

[Prompt: The seal on your experience bar has been lifted. You may continue leveling up.]

Daniel did not hesitate and directly leveled up.

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 241. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 250. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Your level has increased! Current level: 260. You have obtained 20 attribute points.]

[Prompt: You have not yet completed the next stage of your class change mission. Your level cap has been sealed. Overflowing experience has been stored in the EXP pool. Please complete your class change mission as soon as possible to continue leveling up.]

Level 260!

Faustus took a deep breath.

This class change mission was almost ridiculously easy.

But this was not the end.

[Ding! You have achieved the achievement [Level 260]!]

[Prompt: Achievement reward obtained — [All-race Star Chart]!]

Faustus was startled.

What was going on?

There was an achievement reward too?

In his previous lives, he had never known this reward existed at all.

The reward was a Star Chart?

He blinked.

He remembered that when he was in Heavenscar, he had once looted the treasury of the Holy Kingdom and obtained a Star Chart there as well.

However, that one had been a Star Chart of the Endless Starfield, which was much higher-level than this.

Faustus took out the reward.

[All-race Star Chart — ???]

Level: ???

Grade: ???

Effect: After use, grants access to the map of the [All Races of the Starry Void].

Uses: Unlimited 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Introduction: This is an All-race Star Chart. It is equivalent to a galactic map. Above galaxies are star rivers. Above star rivers are star domains. Above star domains are star seas. Countless star seas combined form the [Endless Starfield].

If the Endless Starfield is understood as a complete universe, then each star sea is like a kingdom, each star domain is like a province, each star river is like a region, and each galaxy is like a city. The living worlds of the major races are equivalent to towns.

Larger world planes are like great cities. Medium-sized ones are like counties. Smaller ones are like towns and villages. Incomplete ones are like abandoned villages...

This map records routes at the [galaxy] level, clearly marking the positions of each "town."

However, every world has its own protective mechanism. Without Divine-grade Strength or a fixed spatial passage, one cannot reach them.

There are also certain additional restrictions. For example, a pocket world cannot accommodate Divine-grade powerhouses.

...

After Faustus finished reading carefully, he gained a relatively systematic understanding of the Endless Starfield.

So the structure of this universe was far greater than he had imagined.

Without another word, he used the map.

[Ding! You have used [All-race Star Chart]!]

Whoosh—!

A vast image instantly filled his entire field of vision.

The Star Chart clearly marked his current location.

It was a very small misty cluster glowing with red light.

This should be the Aerial Realm!

And near the Aerial Realm—or more accurately, near both the Aerial Realm and Aetheria—there were more than ten thousand similar misty clusters, some large and some small.

The larger ones were over ten thousand times bigger than the Aerial Realm.

The smaller ones were like Aetheria, only half the size of the Aerial Realm.

Clearly, these misty clusters were the living worlds where the myriad races resided.

The Star Chart had clear coordinates. One could tell their locations at a glance.

But that was all.

Just as the introduction had said, if one wanted to travel to another world, one either had to possess Divine-grade Strength and forcibly blast open a passage, or use a spatial passage or a corresponding item.

"However... spatial passages are something I do have."

Faustus smiled.

Those had also been spoils he had obtained the last time he looted the Godkin.

However, all those items were Divine-grade, and the current him could not use them yet.

There were, however, some methods to unlock their usage in advance.

For example, he could have a sage unlock the usage authority for him.

But just thinking about it was enough.

Not every legendary-grade powerhouse possessed legendary-grade weapons.

Correspondingly, when a sage saw Divine-grade resources, they would also become greedy!

He shook his head.

"I’ll find another opportunity to break the seal in the future."

Just then, the system notification rang again.

[Ding! You have obtained the forbidden-grade archer class change mission. Do you accept?]

Faustus naturally did not hesitate.

"Yes!"

[Ding! You have accepted the class change mission [Realm Invasion]!]

[Prompt: A new mission has been added to your mission panel. Please view the details yourself.]

Faustus opened the mission panel.

[Realm Invasion] — forbidden-grade archer class change mission

Restriction: forbidden-grade archer

Mission Difficulty: Exalted-grade

Mission Objective: Enter a pocket world.

Mission Introduction:

Everything you possess, and even that which you have yet to possess, shall crawl beneath your feet.

Everything you lack, together with what little remains in your hands, shall be stripped away from you.

You must possess the Strength to command everything.

Otherwise, even that meager remnant you still cling to will be devoured completely by others.

This is the unwritten iron law of the depths of the Endless Starfield.

It is not a law of the world, yet it is colder and crueler than any law.

Want to survive?

Want to become stronger?

Then go plunder.

Go wage war.

Go seize.

The ideal cycle is this:

Take resources from those who have abundance and give them to those who are lacking.

But the truth is this:

Resources will be torn from the arms of the impoverished and offered up to those who are already wealthy.

Mission Time Limit: None

Mission Rewards: [Elemental Magic Core] ×1, [forbidden-grade Archer Class Awakening Scroll] ×1.
