"This blind guy is a total beast! He awakened three rare professions at once—how can God be so biased?!"
"It’s an Archangel! And a Giant Spirit God! But what is this third one? I’ve never heard of it."
"It’s called a Carver, I think. Doesn't sound like much."
"What is he hesitating for? It’s either the Archangel or the Giant Spirit God. Surely he isn't going to pick Carver?"
"Hurry up and pick the Giant Spirit God! Once his level is high enough, he can transform into the Giant Spirit God directly—the power level would be top-tier!"
"That's not right! He's just a blind carpenter. What use is a rare profession to him?"
"True... a blind man turning into a Giant Spirit God? Once he gets to the Abyss Battlefield, wouldn't he just stomp around and trample his own teammates to death?"
Great Xia Country, Tianshui City, Awakening Plaza.
Around the plaza, hundreds of students who had just come of age and were about to enter university gathered. The scene was lively, and the entire plaza was buzzing with heat! Every eye was fixed on the young man standing on the platform.
Bai Ze shook his head, struggling to absorb the memories flooding his mind, and opened his eyes...
"Who turned off the lights?"
"Archangel? Giant Spirit God?"
"Has the mythology invaded again?"
Memory transfer complete...
...Oh no! I’ve transmigrated!
Nine hundred years ago, the Abyss invaded this planet, and countless terrifying, monstrous creatures slaughtered humanity. At the same time, the Temples appeared. Every person, upon turning nineteen, is given the chance to change classes—they might become a Warrior, a Support, or a Mage, or they might obtain extremely rare professions, like the Giant Spirit God and Archangel before him.
"But seriously, why aren't the lights on? It's pitch black!"
"Wait... why am I still blind?"
Bai Ze went through all the memories in his mind and realized with despair that he had transmigrated into a blind carpenter! He had been making ends meet by crafting stools and tables, relying purely on muscle memory and touch...
Is this some kind of joke!?
"Student!"
"The two professions to your right are Giant Spirit God and Archangel, and the one on the far left is Carver," said the middle-aged man in charge of the awakening. "You have ten minutes to make your choice, or you can accept a consolation prize of 500,000."
Bai Ze curled his lip. In a world where everyone changes classes, what's the use of money? You need strength! The Awakening Stone provides three suitable professions for everyone, meaning he was naturally suited for these three. He knew that in the entire Great Xia Country, there were likely fewer than 30,000 people with rare professions. Every one of them was an elite, with status beyond imagination.
How could he possibly give up the chance to become one of the elite?
But even if he chose one, he was still just a blind professional... At best, he would be cannon fodder on the battlefield!
"No, what do I do?"
Just as Bai Ze was hesitating, a strange yet familiar voice echoed:
[The host is choosing a career path!]
[Career augmentation route simulated for the host!]
[Please choose a profession. Once selected, the system will begin the augmentation!]
"It’s finally here!"
Bai Ze’s eyes flashed as he inspected the three panels that appeared in his mind.
[Archangel] augmented to [Six-Winged Angel]
[Skills: Flight, Divine Punishment, Healing, Precognition, Divine Oracle]
[Estimated initial combat power: 216]
[Giant Spirit God] augmented to [Active-Duty Giant Spirit God]
[Skills: Infinite Strength, Divine Body, Intimidation, Protection, Heavenly Punishment]
[Estimated initial combat power: 455]
[Carver] augmented to [Divine Artisan of Tian-Gong]
[Skills: Soul-Engraving Life-Summoning (further skill development pending)]
[Estimated initial total combat power: 999+]
Bai Ze’s eyes lit up!
According to his memories, a normal Warrior profession had an initial combat power of about 60. A slightly rare profession was around 100. His current Archangel and Giant Spirit God options were over 200 and nearly 500 respectively! As for the last one, it was a heavy hitter—it was actually 999+!
"999 must not be the cap! It actually completely broke the convention that the maximum initial combat power is 500!"
He was instantly interested in the Carver augmentation and clicked on the only available skill to check it.
[Soul-Engraving Life-Summoning: Use heart-force to carve any life form and bring it back to life. The higher the level of the carved life, the more heart-force it consumes. (The cost in heart-force is enormous, use with caution.)]
[Resurrected life forms are divided into three levels: Low, Medium, and High.]
[The loyalty of resurrected life forms will vary, but they will never betray you.]
[Example: Black Mountain Old Demon is Low-level, Giant Spirit God is Medium-level, Great Sage Equal to Heaven is High-level.]
Carving consumes heart-force? I’m blind anyway, I can't use my eyes—isn't this a perfect fit?
A smile played on Bai Ze’s lips. He figured loyalty for low-level creatures wouldn't be an issue, and medium-level should be fine too. But for high-level ones, he’d have to be careful. After all, the status of a high-level being was so great that he wouldn't dare mention the word "loyalty" to them! He’d probably have to call them "Grandmaster" after carving them out...
"Isn't this Carver just like a Summoner? Only the starting point is much higher than a standard Summoner, and it skips the training process."
Thinking this over, and considering he was blind and not well-versed in combat, why not just carve out a Great Deity to clear the path for him? Once he made some money, he could find a way to heal his eyes! He carried the bloodline of the Yan-Huang, and he had already decided who the first one he would carve should be.
As for the other two professions, they might be good, but he wouldn't know how to start with them. How could a blind man survive in the Abyss? Therefore, choosing to become a Divine Artisan of Tian-Gong and carving out a mighty Great Deity to help him was the best choice!
"Student, please stop spacing out on the awakening platform. Come down immediately!"
Seven or eight minutes had passed, and the man in charge was growing impatient.
Bai Ze frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Come down? Why would I come down?"
He made his decision and reached out to the Carver profession on the left!
"Whoosh—"
Heavenly Radiance erupted, and countless divine patterns illuminated his body, his temperament changing instantly as if he were a banished immortal!
As soon as Bai Ze touched the Carver light orb, the entire plaza nearly exploded!
"What are you doing!? Don't pick that! Leave the profession for students who need it!"
"No! If you take it, what will happen to us? Get down here!"
Many people shouted, but only Bai Ze’s homeroom teacher remained calm.
"What a good kid, leaving the Giant Spirit God and Archangel behind, while choosing the Carver path, going further and further down the road of a carpenter, 666..."
But while others were just shouting, the middle-aged man in charge of the awakening was stunned! He saw that after the other party chose the Carver profession, the Awakening Stone let out a crisp "crack!" He looked up and saw a thin crack running through the stone! The man’s heart trembled; he had been doing this for over 40 years, and this was his first time seeing such a thing!
"How could a Taboo-tier Awakening Stone crack!?"
"Unless... his profession exceeded the Taboo-tier!? No! I must report this to Secretary Li immediately!"
The man was shocked and moved to report it...
Meanwhile, Bai Ze had already obtained the Carver profession! At that moment, his body received some kind of augmentation; his muscles became more refined, and a strange energy seemed to emerge within him...
Class change successful!
[Host has obtained the Carver profession, beginning augmentation!]
[You have successfully changed class to Divine Artisan of Tian-Gong!]
[Class change successful. Granting you one free high-level life-carving opportunity without cost!]
Bai Ze was excited: "Do I even need to think about who to carve..."
