T/N - So unfortunately, Part 1 of the Challenge Goal failed, but no worries. We lowered the requirement for Part 2.

As a bonus, if we reach 10 unique reactions or 30 total reactions instead, we’ll release 2 extra chapters instead. So what are you waiting for? Recommend the novel to your friends as well and let them participate. Who knows, they might actually like the novel too! 😁 (3/4/26)
Sigh. Chinese web novel authors seem so fond of making MCs neglect female characters like this. While I do hope that the MC does get his comeuppance, with the type of novel this is and with how most web novels go, this either gets ignored or is resolved in a comedic fashion. Maybe a combination of both?
Also, the new functions seem meh for now. God’s Lock seems overpriced, especially when it’s limited to 10 times, while Flash seems decent and a bit more reasonably priced. Hopefully, he gets more powerful options later on.
"Hah... hah!"
Li Changkong's eyes snapped open. He quickly sat up from the sleep pod, stressed and panting heavily.
His back was already completely soaked with sweat.
"Too terrifying! This world-class dungeon’s too terrifying. I must report this news to the higher-ups."
He hurriedly got out of the sleep pod, not even having time to check how much experience he had lost.
He walked straight to the entrance, threw on a coat, and ran towards the Heavenly Dao Alliance headquarters.
The difficulty of this "world-class" dungeon might be another unsolvable existence!
"Grandpa, are you going out so late?"
At this moment…
A sleepy-eyed young girl in pink dinosaur pajamas came over while yawning and rubbing her eyes.
She probably heard the commotion and came out to check the situation.
"It's Xiaorou. Sorry for disturbing your rest. Grandpa has something to do right now.
There's breakfast in the fridge. You have to do your best at tomorrow's Awakening Ceremony."
Soon.
3 a.m.
Heavenly Dao Alliance Headquarters.
"What did you say? So many people were instantly killed by an elite monster?"
A middle-aged man in a gray bathrobe looked at Li Changkong with a shocked expression.
His name was Xu Lingzhi, the current Alliance Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
A high-level Agent.
He inherited all the players of the previous Alliance Master.
Among them was Li Changkong in front of him.
"Yes, Alliance Master. So I think this dungeon can be defined as an unsolvable-level dungeon."
Li Changkong nodded solemnly.
In this world, a total of 9 unsolvable "world-class" dungeons had appeared.
If one counted Ye Mo's current one, there were now ten in total.
"How much did we lose?"
"I haven't had the time to estimate it yet, but... it should be quite serious. After all, those who went were all elites among elites."
Failing a world-class dungeon conquest, most players would basically face the risk of de-leveling.
Even Li Changkong dropped directly from his original Level 102 to Level 99.
Falling from Demigod to a high-level player...
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Heavenly Dao Alliance!
Hearing this, Xu Lingzhi's brow furrowed tightly. After pacing around in the office for a moment, he said slowly.
"Block the news first and announce to the public that we have made great gains in this world-class dungeon.
We’re only one step away from slaying the dungeon BOSS and will regain our might in three days."
Hearing this, Li Changkong was stunned.
Immediately after, he reacted instantly, his eyes lighting up.
"That's right! The suffering we’ve endured, they must also suffer it one by one!"
A trace of severity flashed in Xu Lingzhi's eyes.
On the other side…
——————————————————
[Detected that other faction players have died in your dungeon territory. Divine Points gained: 2545]
[Current Divine Points: 5600/2500]
——————————————————
Looking at this system notification box, Ye Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, when players die in a dungeon created by a god, the god can obtain Divine Points."
At the same time, it also confirmed his previous judgment.
The so-called gods, including the six of the Six Saint Sanctuaries, were just some powerful wild monsters with a system.
Compared to companies, Divine Agents were akin to managers, while players were front-line employees, like staff and technicians.
The competition for interests between gods was for territory.
Or it was more appropriate to say dungeons.
Dungeons with higher difficulty could bring a continuous stream of Divine Point income to a god.
Of course, if the dungeon was conquered by players from rival factions, the god might incur a loss instead.
"If I guessed correctly, those low-level dungeons are all in an unmanaged state.
To put it bluntly, they’re used to 'raise' players.
Fattened players then enter high-difficulty dungeons. The experience points and equipment deducted from them after failure might turn into Divine Points."
Thinking of it this way, players were the real beasts of burden!
Just bait for cultivating gods.
Of course, powerful players could also become a god's spear.
"Respected Lord Demon God, the worms from the outside world have all been expelled."
Lilith curtsied respectfully while reporting to Ye Mo.
"En, you did well. You may go down now."
Ye Mo nodded and prepared to let Lilith withdraw.
He had enough Divine Points now, so he was preparing to upgrade his Divinity.
Then he would research the two new functions, "Equipment Blessing" and "Dungeon Territory Development."
However…
Lilith didn’t withdraw at this time. After hesitating for a moment, she continued.
"Respected Lord Demon God, I was injured in this battle and hope to receive your help."
"Hmm?"
Ye Mo raised his head slightly.
'Lilith was injured?'
'Those players were actually able to injure her? I have to look at them in a new light.'
"Where were you injured?"
"Here."
Lilith extended a fair, tender, and slender hand, touched the succubus crest below her lower abdomen, and looked at Ye Mo with narrowed eyes.
"Massive consumption has left my magic energy here empty. I need your magic power to replenish it."
'Good heavens...'
'She's come to me to ask for public rations, right?'
Ye Mo was speechless.
But on second thought, it made sense.
Ever since Jiang Linyue came, he hadn't replenished Lilith's magic.
"I don't have time now. Come by yourself after I fall asleep."
Ye Mo waved his hand impatiently. Right now, he only wants to focus on his startup.
He wasn't very interested in such vulgar things right now.
After all, he had already played with everything he should have played with in the dream and was already tired of it.
The real world was what stimulated him!
"As you command, my impotent Lord Demon God. I wish you a good dream next time, and it would be best... if you never wake up in this lifetime."
A smile hung on Lilith's lips, but her words weren’t respectful at all.
Clearly, facing a Lord Demon God who couldn't satisfy her…
Her resentment was almost overflowing.
Compared to blandly taking the initiative, she preferred to be passive.
——————————————————
Congratulations, your Divinity has been upgraded to Level 3.
Obtained New Class Card: Heavenly Demon Monarch (SSS-Rank Tank Path)
Deity Panel unlocked "Equipment Blessing" and "Dungeon Territory Development" functions.
——————————————————
After Lilith left, Ye Mo directly upgraded his Divinity Level.
——————————————————
[Name: World-Destroying Demon God]
[Divinity Level: 3]
[Divine Points: 3100/9000 (Believers conquering other gods' dungeons or killing gods can increase Divine Points for you)]
[Number of Divine Envoys: 1]
[Number of Believers: 2]
[Dungeon Territories: 2]
[Currently Grantable Class Cards: God-Slayer Ghost Swordsman (SSS-Rank Warrior Path), Necromancer (SSS-Rank Mage Path).
Spacetime Creator (SSS-Rank Control Path), Heavenly Demon Monarch (SSS-Rank Tank), Berserker (A-Rank Warrior Path)]
[Currently Grantable Equipment Traits: God's Lock, Flash (Can be obtained with a probability when killing gods or divine creatures.)]
[Note: After Divinity Level 4, Divine Religion Blessing can be unlocked.]
——————————————————
"Let's see what Equipment Blessing can do."
Ye Mo clicked on the Equipment Blessing option curiously.
——————————————————
God's Lock (Equipment Blessing)
Consumption: 1000 Divine Points
Introduction: Avoids the risk of dropping equipment upon dungeon failure, limited to 10 times.
Flash (Equipment Blessing)
Consumption: 500 Divine Points
Introduction: Instantly move to any position within a 20-meter radius, cooldown 30 seconds.
Warm Reminder: For every one-level increase in Divinity, one Equipment Blessing can be unlocked.
Note: The same piece of equipment can have at most 2 blessings
Divine artifacts are not limited, but after two times, double Divine Points will be consumed.
——————————————————
"To put it plainly, it's just bestowing an extra skill on a piece of equipment, right? Isn't that equivalent to a summoner spell?"
Ye Mo quickly understood the effect of Equipment Blessing.
It was just that the Divine Point price...
It was too expensive!
Especially the "God's Lock" blessing. It was almost a must-have for equipment.
Otherwise, if one entered a dungeon and it was dropped for another god to pick up, it would be a complete loss.
He was just about to craft a divine artifact for Ye Xiaoxiao. He could apply two blessings to it first.
"Sigh! My dear sister, you have to make me proud. I've invested a great deal of effort in you!"
