Chapter 457: 255 Catastrophe of Becoming a God

Inside the “Path to Becoming a God” instance.

Next to cabin number 985, a demon with horns on its head and black lava flowing all over its body was looking contentedly at its cabin, which had been upgraded to level 3 within half an hour, and the remaining thousands of units of unused wood next to the cabin.

At this moment, it was in a quite good mood.

It even felt like it had already secured the victory in advance.

“My talent in the ‘Path to Becoming a God’ is the[Daily Check-in], which allows me to check-in for a massive amount of resources every day. On the first day, I checked in for 10,000 units of wood. If it weren’t for the fact that upgrading my cabin to level 3 required more than just wood, I could have upgraded my cabin to level 4 or even level 5 by now!

With such a powerful talent, no demon can stand in my way on this ‘Path to Becoming a God’!

This time, I’m destined to become a god!”

As it spoke, a burst of laughter echoed through the air.

…

In another part of the ‘Path to Becoming a God’ instance.

A demon numbered 101 was laboriously swinging a rock it had picked up, chopping down a tree one hit at a time.

It was not hard to see that the power of 101 was not strong, with a base strength potential of only around 5 to 10 billion. It took 101 a full ten minutes to chop down a tree that Dean McKenzie could easily shatter with a casual blow.

Just for this one tree, it used up a full 20 points of Divine Power, which was 20 times the amount Dean McKenzie would have used.

However, when this tree was finally felled, the tree in front of 101 exploded with a loud bang.

At the same time, a system prompt refreshed in its ear.

[You have consumed 20 Divine power to successfully fell a tree. Your talent[Hundredfold Returns]has activated, granting you 5000 units of wood!]

Hearing the system prompt, a smile appeared on 101’s face.

“When I first found out that the ‘Path to Becoming a God’ is in this format, I was completely in despair. But then, I didn’t expect to awaken such a powerful skill.

Hundredfold returns on effort!

Under such conditions, even I could hope to make it into the top hundred, or even the top ten, eh?

Let’s go, time to upgrade my cabin!”

As it spoke, 101 began to move, gathering up the wood lying about and bringing it back to its cabin for the start its upgrade.

…

In yet another part of the ‘Path to Becoming a God.’

Demon number 666 was circling his cabin, gazing at the fog in front of it with curiosity.

Whenever it moved in a direction, it would receive a prompt.

[Entering from the current direction, you will encounter a Level 1 Snake Attack and likely die on the spot!]

[Entering from the current direction, you will see a plain, uninteresting area with nothing but trees!]

[Entering from the current direction, you will find a fruit tree whose fruits can restore Divine Power!]

[Entering from the current direction, you will find a treasure chest containing the resources you need!]

Seeing the constantly refreshing prompts, a smile never left 666’s face.

“Excellent, my talent is the[All-Knowing Prompt], with this prompt, I won’t encounter any fatal dangers in this instance, and I won’t have to bother with gathering all sorts of miscellaneous materials.

As long as I follow the prompts, I can find all the materials I need without using any Divine Power!”

As he spoke, 666 unhesitatingly walked in the direction that led to the treasure chest and promptly opened it.

[You opened one treasure chest. You obtained 500 units of wood, 100 units of stone, and a certain amount of water resources!]

“Perfect, now I can safely upgrade my cabin!”

…

Throughout the ‘Path to Becoming a God’ instance, it seemed as though only Dean McKenzie’s instance wasn’t doing well.

Compared to others, their talents were really something, whether it was Daily Check-in, Hundredfold Returns, or All-Knowing Prompt.

Unlike Dean McKenzie, whose talent seemed to be of no use in the early stages.

However, Dean did have one advantage: his terrifyingly high base attributes.

Materials that others struggled to gather were easily obtained by him with a single blow.

Whether it was a tree or a stone, he only needed one blow.

He could handle any monster just as easily.

It was as though a high-level player had descended to a novice village – there was nothing that Dean couldn’t handle with one blow.

Moreover, after completing his gathering, Dean could use his Spiritual Power, and with one sweep of Spiritual Power, he could carry all the materials lying on the ground.

Leveraging these terrifying attributes, Dean began to clean up the area around his cabin with one sweep.

After one complete round, Dean easily harvested an enormous amount of resources.

With these enormous resources in hand, Dean returned to his cabin and began the upgrade.

[You have consumed 100 units of wood and 100 Divine Power points. Your cabin’s Level has risen to Level 2!]

[You have consumed 200 units of wood and 50 Divine Power points. You have successfully built a fence!]

[You have consumed 200 units of wood and 200 Divine Power points. Your cabin’s level has risen to level 3!]

[Your Divine Power has decreased to zero, and all your attributes have suffered a reduction of 100 million!]

[Please note, you are currently in a Divine Power Deficiency State. In this state, any action that uses Divine Power will reduce all your attributes by 100 million!]

After a series of upgrades, Dean successfully triggered the penalty for running out of Divine Power. However, it seemed that this penalty was just a mere itch for Dean.

After all, Dean had a total of over 1300 quintillions (a one followed by 30 zeros) for his four-dimensional attributes. To put it into perspective, he had 130,000,000,000,000 units in all attributes.

Even when converted to a single attribute, Dean still had 30,000,000,000 units, an 11-digit billion. These attributes were simply impossible to deplete.

So, Dean didn’t take this so-called Divine Power Deficiency State seriously at all.

Without a care for his current state, Dean made another round outside the fog.

As before, he treaded without fear or hindrance – nothing could stop Dean’s strides.
