Lu Ming didn't head straight to Jiangsu Province; instead, he temporarily stayed in the house he bought in Linhai.

This was because the third layer of Sky Abyss required players to be at least level 50 to enter.

Although Lu Ming had already met the level requirement, Qin Churan was only level 42, and Li Wan-ning was at level 48. Neither of them had reached the requirement to enter the third layer.

So, Lu Ming planned to help them level up to 50 in Linhai before heading to Jiangsu Province and the Tianxing Continent!

Of course, it wasn't just about helping them level up.

Lu Ming himself needed to collect soul power by slaying monsters to strengthen the Undead Legion.

"After upgrading the Soul Slash talent to Lv6, I can summon a 6th-tier [Undying God], which requires even more soul power."

"The tens of thousands of soul power I've accumulated are far from enough to evolve all three thousand 5th-tier Undying Demon Emperors to 6th-tier Undying Gods."

"Once we reach the third layer, the Tianxing Continent, the enemies we'll face will be far stronger than those in the second layer. Moreover, the guards around Lin Youwei are all elite God Slayers. We must be fully prepared to take them down in one fell swoop!"

As Lu Ming lay on the sofa in the living room, planning the next steps, he suddenly heard Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning calling from the kitchen in unison, "Dummy (Nether brother), breakfast is ready!"

Before Lu Ming could react, he heard the two women arguing:

"Nether brother, come eat the egg noodles I made for you!"

"Can you even eat those blackened eggs? The noodles look dry and unappetizing! Dummy, eat the love pancakes I made for you!"

"Those are love pancakes? They look like my dog’s butt, and they're burnt! Are you trying to poison Nether brother?"

"Nether brother, eat mine!"

"Dummy, eat mine!"

Faced with their enthusiastic insistence, Lu Ming sat at the table and tasted both the pancakes and egg noodles they made. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Delicious..."

Hearing this, Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning excitedly ran to the kitchen to taste their own creations.

The next second, they both exclaimed, "Ugh... it's terrible! I'm going downstairs to buy some buns."

"Forget it, I'll eat out too. Dummy, you can have the pancakes; eat more if you like them!"

Watching the two leave him behind and slam the door, Lu Ming thought, "?"

He finally realized that these two young ladies were full of good intentions, but their cooking skills... were simply indescribable!

They were even worse than his own!

At this moment, Lu Ming missed Lin Youwei's shredded pork and egg noodles immensely...

After breakfast, the three of them logged into Starlight City.

They randomly chose a level 50 map outside the city and started grinding!

Three thousand 5th-tier Undying Demon Emperors spread across the map.

With the 84x enhanced six-layer formation, they were unstoppable and unmatched!

The Undead Legion's rampant slaughter, combined with the double experience effect of the level 10 Body Shaping Pill, caused Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning's experience bars to skyrocket!

Since helping the Li family clear all ten levels of Medicine King Valley, Lu Ming had been feasting on various level 10 pills.

With the Soul Slash talent upgraded to Lv6, each time he refined a monster's corpse, he gained 10 points of soul power, causing Lu Ming's soul power to soar rapidly!

"Summoning a 6th-tier Undying God requires 2000 points of soul power, double that of a 5th-tier Undying Demon Emperor."

"Let's see what a 6th-tier undead looks like."

With this thought, Lu Ming opened the summoning panel and consumed 2000 points of soul power to summon a 6th-tier Undying God.

Whoosh!

With the activation of a barrier flowing with golden light, the next second, a powerful undead clad in fiery armor, engulfed in blazing flames, with a flaming wing unfurling behind, and an aura as formidable as a gold-tier BOSS, emerged from the barrier, holding a fiery spear!

Clang!

The spear struck the ground.

Facing Lu Ming, the undead knelt on one knee, bowing in submission!

"So, this is a 6th-tier Undying God?"

Looking at the undead before him, Lu Ming's eyes shone with intense excitement.

Every upgrade of the Undead Legion brought Lu Ming a pleasant surprise.

Beyond its aura, the overall strength of the 6th-tier Undying God was incomparable to the 5th-tier Undying Demon Emperor.

Base attributes doubled!

The maximum limit of the five-dimensional attribute points, which could be permanently enhanced through soul power, increased to 30 times the base attributes!

The quality of the three major skills—Soul Slash, Soul Shatter, and Soul Refinement—upgraded to C-level!

In comparison, the 6th-tier Undying God was like a high and mighty demon god.

While the 5th-tier Undying Demon Emperor, which Lu Ming once took pride in, now seemed like a mere soldier standing beside the Undying God.

The Undying God instantly ignited Lu Ming's fighting spirit!

"Before advancing to the Tianxing Continent, I'll strive to evolve the entire Undead Legion to 6th-tier!"

"Charge!"

Following this, under the rampant hunting of the Undead Legion, one invincible Undying God after another was born!

Unknowingly, time flew by, and soon it was noon.

Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning began to compete for attention: "Dummy (Nether brother), I'll log off to cook for you!"

Lu Ming was startled: "Time is precious, let's eat out!"

Qin Churan said, "Eating out isn't healthy; homemade is cleaner!"

Lu Ming replied without batting an eye, "Outside is clean! Delicious! I love it!"

So, after logging off and having lunch, they quickly returned online to continue grinding.

With the company of the two beauties, Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning, Lu Ming didn't feel bored at all.

Watching them bicker over him from time to time added a unique kind of fun~

Slash, slash, slash!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Qin Churan moved like a phantom.

Li Wan-ning's arrows rained down.

Even though the Undead Legion's monster-killing speed was already fast, they never stopped.

They worked harder than when they were grinding alone.

Their relentless monster hunting marked the beginning of an invisible competition.

With the level 10 Body Shaping Pill's effect continuously active, it took only three days for Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning to reach level 50, at a speed hundreds of times faster than ordinary players!

And at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly noticed that Qin Churan had changed her ID name.

Lu Ming remembered her original ID was God Slayer, Moon.

But now, the ID displayed above Qin Churan's head was... Xiyue!

Qin Churan's intention in changing her name might simply have been to signify that from now on, she had no ties with God Slayer or the Qin family.

But all Lu Ming saw was her ID, Xiyue!

"Goddess Nyx, divine code 010, the first Main God under the Supreme Gods!"

"Ranked second in the future global divine power rankings!"

...

"Xiyue!"

Lu Ming gazed deeply at Qin Churan.

Until she approached him and asked, "Dummy, do you want to go out for a late-night snack later? My treat, as a thank you for helping me level up."

Lu Ming didn't speak; instead, he suddenly reached out his right hand and gently patted Qin Churan's head.

Just as Qin Churan blushed and her heart raced from Lu Ming's sudden gentle and affectionate gesture, golden light emanated from Lu Ming's palm, infusing into Qin Churan's body.

A pleasant system notification echoed in Qin Churan's ear—

[Ding~ Player "Nether" has used the divine-exclusive skill, Lucky Hand, on you. Congratulations, your account aptitude has been upgraded to ten-star level!]

Qin Churan's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Lu Ming: "Your divine-exclusive skill... is this powerful?!"

Lu Ming smiled faintly: "Of course."

This divine-exclusive skill, Lucky Hand, unlocked with 100 points of divine power, once again showcased the formidable divinity of the first sequence Supreme God, the God of Luck, Fortuna—

[Lucky Hand] (Lv1): Use on any player to upgrade their account aptitude to the highest level (Each skill upgrade grants one usage opportunity)

Remaining uses: 0

Upgrade requirement: 100 points of divine power

...

With this Lucky Hand, Lu Ming could effortlessly create a top-tier ten-star account, surpassing the current world’s highest six-star aptitude!

With her account aptitude elevated to ten-star, Qin Churan's [Godspeed] talent also upgraded to ten-star, increasing her movement speed bonus from three times to ten times!

"This is ten-star talent? So strong!" Qin Churan couldn't help but exclaim.

At this moment, Li Wan-ning approached Lu Ming, rubbing her head against him like a gentle kitten, and said coquettishly, "Nether brother, I want it too!"

"Alright, you too."

Lu Ming had anticipated this scenario, so even though he had mastered the Lucky Hand divine-exclusive skill three days ago, he hadn't immediately used it on Qin Churan.

Instead, he spent those three days grinding to accumulate the remaining 80-plus points of divine power to reach 100 points.

Thus, Lu Ming consumed these 100 points of divine power to upgrade [Lucky Hand] to Lv2, gaining another usage opportunity.

Then, he gently patted Li Wan-ning's head in the same manner.

With the infusion of divine power.

Whoosh!

Golden light shimmered.

Li Wan-ning's account aptitude was instantly elevated from its original two-star level to the highest: ten-star level!

[Extreme Attack Speed] (Ten-star talent): Player's attack speed increased tenfold.

One gained tenfold movement speed.

The other gained tenfold attack speed.

Qin Churan and Li Wan-ning's talents were strikingly similar, like a pair of good sisters.

Though not comparable to divine beings, the strength of ten-star talents was enough to surpass 99.99% of ordinary players below the divine level!

Looking at the two women he had personally nurtured, Lu Ming felt a strong sense of accomplishment and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Li Wan-ning, full of joy, said to Lu Ming, "Nether brother, thank you! To repay you, I'll cook egg noodles for you when we log off!"

Qin Churan, not to be outdone, crossed her arms and said, "Dummy, eat mine, I'll make pancakes for you!"

Lu Ming was instantly terrified, his face turning pale.

He quickly said, "Let's go out for hot pot instead! To celebrate you both reaching level 50!"

Seeing no objections from the two women, Lu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After spending three days, he had fully upgraded the three thousand undead in the Undead Legion to 6th-tier Undying Gods.

With all attributes and skills maxed out!

Lu Ming murmured, "It's time to head to Tianjing."
