Chapter 166: Game Version Update
As the details of the Flood Disaster entry flickered before everyone’s eyes, a collective gasp filled the air.
"Is this really the power level of the Reaper class?"
"Even without those three fixed entries, this Flood Disaster entry alone would be enough to let you walk over anyone in this game."
"All Water-type magic turns into AoE damage? If you picked a single-target skill that already had high base damage, wouldn't you just absolutely soar?"
Listening to the players' chatter, Maomao spoke up.
"Alright, the rest of you, come over here."
Hearing Maomao’s command, the remaining players immediately snapped out of their daze.
After witnessing the sheer power of the Flood Disaster entry, every single one of them was filled with intense anticipation for the Soul Proofs in Maomao’s hands.
Fortunately, Maomao had enough Soul Proofs to go around, so no chaos broke out among the players.
They formed a line and, one by one, received a Soul Proof from her.
As the Soul Proofs were used, the final results manifested before Maomao’s eyes.
"A total of six successful class advancements... and four left over..."
Looking at the four players who had failed to obtain the class inheritance, Maomao felt a bit at a loss.
Although Taro Ball had already warned her that the Soul Proofs weren't a hundred percent guaranteed, she clearly didn't know how to handle the sight of four dejected players.
"Right... I remember Bai saying that the World Tree side also needs people to help out."
With that thought, Maomao addressed the four players.
"Those who didn't get the class advancement can go to another place for compensation in a bit."
The four players instantly looked up.
"Really, Sister Maomao? We still get compensation?"
"Is it something even stronger than the Reaper class?"
"Or can you take us directly inside the Wheel of Fate to meet that Senior Bai you mentioned?"
Faced with their barrage of questions, Maomao gave a light cough.
"Ahem... anyway, you'll find out soon enough."
Turning back to the group that had successfully become Reapers, she said, "The rest of you follow Aisarakus to the Land of Storms for a lap. Just focus on leveling up there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aisarakus’s petite figure peeked out from behind Maomao.
"Um... Me?"
She looked at Maomao, her tone a bit apprehensive.
"Maomao, thou wilt not leave me behind to face Brandon alone, right?"
Seeing Aisarakus’s worry, Maomao patted her head.
"Don't worry, I'll be heading back with you."
With that, Maomao opened her chat interface and sent a message to Yu Yunsheng.
She gave a rough description of the "World Tree mission" Xie Bai had assigned her and mentioned that they needed to coordinate with Thanatos.
【Cat Fur Hat Maomao: How about it, Potato? You want in on this big project?】
【Potato Is Not Taro: I can do that. Since you're my benefactor, I'll obviously help you out. How about we meet at that stone gate from before?】
【Cat Fur Hat Maomao: Mm, thanks! It's a deal then.】
With a few quick messages, Maomao successfully outsourced the World Tree task to Yu Yunsheng.
Once the itinerary was settled, she led the six players, headed by Daba, away from the Heavenly Mountain.
Meanwhile, the four players who had failed followed Maomao’s instructions and headed to the base of the Heavenly Mountain to meet up with Yu Yunsheng.

"The World Tree..."
Yu Yunsheng stared at the message from Maomao, sinking into deep thought.
She had agreed to Maomao’s request partly because Maomao was indeed her "patron."
However, that wasn't the primary reason.
Ever since she had learned the truth about this game from Taro Ball, her worldview had shifted drastically.
Compared to money in the real world, she cared far more about the power she could gain within the game.
Without sufficient strength, she wouldn't even be able to protect Elania properly—just like when they had faced Sacred Light.
Especially now that Taro Ball wasn't by her side.
Without her older brother to back her up, Yu Yunsheng was even more worried about encountering an accident she couldn't handle on her own.
Now that Maomao had sent a request regarding the World Tree, she naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.
"But taking a group of players to the World Tree... what exactly is the goal?"
Yu Yunsheng couldn't quite figure out the specifics of Maomao’s request.
Maomao hadn't provided much detail, likely because she didn't know much herself.
But Yu Yunsheng had been to the World Tree once before.
She had some idea of what kind of existence it was.
Any mission personally designated by Bai was bound to yield unimaginable rewards.
At that thought, a flicker of unease rose in Yu Yunsheng’s heart.
"Maomao still doesn't know the truth about this game... Should I tell her when the time comes? After all, I'm technically taking advantage of her ignorance right now..."
With Taro Ball gone, she had to make important decisions on her own, which added another layer of weight to her heart.
"Um... Sister Potato, is something on your mind? You look so worried."
Elania’s voice drifted into Yu Yunsheng’s ear, pulling her back to reality.
"It's nothing... I was just lost in thought for a moment."
"Is that so? Are you sure you weren't thinking about other girls?"
Elania leaned her small face against Yu Yunsheng’s chest, looking slightly displeased.
Yu Yunsheng gave a soft laugh at Elania’s concern.
"No, I'm not. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you, Elania."
She reached out and stroked Elania’s hair.
"Hmph... fine. Sister Potato better not break her word."
"I won't. I promise."
Looking at the cute expression Elania made while being pampered, Yu Yunsheng’s resolve hardened.
"At the very least... I have to become strong enough to protect others."

Void Insect Hive, Central Palace.
The Two Little Ones had just finished watching the official video posted on the forum.
After showcasing the scene of Xie Bai executing Sacred Light, the video transitioned to Xie Bai rebooting the Heavenly Domain.
In the video, after Xie Bai tore through space and restructured the Heavenly Domain, she directly used the Book of the Heavenly Domain to resurrect the Angel Race.
A vast multitude of angels lined up in a grand formation, and the footage ended with them taking a synchronized oath.
Once the video concluded, a game announcement popped up at the end.
【Game Version Updated to 0.2】
【New Exploration Area Added: Eastern Alliance of the Western Continent】
【New Playable Race Added: Void Angel Race】
【Void Angel Race will start with the following exclusive racial entries:】
【Void Kin: You are more likely to receive the favor of the Void. Gain one random Void-type skill every ten levels.】
【Holy Affinity: Experience gain reduced by 50%. Skill point requirement for learning Holy-type skills reduced by 80%. Holy damage dealt increased by 10%.】
【Light Affinity: Experience required to level up increased by 25%. Skill point requirement for learning Light-type skills reduced by 80%. Light damage dealt increased by 10%.】
【Angel Wings: Gain permanent flight capability. Upon each class advancement, "Angel Wings" will gain a new effect.】
The Two Little Ones didn't quite understand the game announcement at the end of the video.
However, they were clearly very familiar with the angels shown in the footage.
"So Sister Xiaobai really did resurrect them... even Uriel was there."
"Does that mean they've all become Sister Xiaobai’s kin now?"
While the two were still discussing, a small hand suddenly reached out from under a nearby duvet, tossing the covers aside.
Xie Bai sat up, her eyes still a bit hazy with sleep.
"Ugh... my head feels so stuffy."
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the Two Little Ones nearby.
"What... are you two looking at?"
