Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

"Next, perhaps I should enhance the proficiency of other skills, striving to advance all the cultivation techniques to the Selfless Realm."

"In this way, I could reach the strongest level, making it easier to deal with those Heavenly Demons."

Qin An pondered for a moment and then made up his mind.

He was about to turn his attention to the proficiency of the Butcher profession, but at this moment, something unexpected occurred.

Qin An abruptly raised his head and looked towards the ceiling.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, seeing the most essential things.

A world appeared before his eyes, its outline much larger than any world he had ever seen, stretching endlessly beyond the horizon.

"Why has it appeared again?"

This thought emerged in Qin An’s mind.

He had seen this world before, during the process of forging supreme foundations, and even knew that the world they were in seemed to be some sort of trick.

But now, having just stepped into the Selfless Realm, why did this scene occur again?

This left Qin An feeling very perplexed.

However, the next moment, his doubts turned to astonishment because, as this world appeared, the anomaly followed.

Qin An felt an inexplicable pressure suddenly emerge, which instantly transformed into a strong suction force.

This suction seemed to want to draw him into that mysterious world.

While not particularly strong, the suction continually attracted him, siphoning off his emotions.

Qin An immediately came to his senses and suddenly seemed to understand something.

He fell into contemplation, and after a long while, he looked up and said, "I see, I finally understand why the Selfless Realm gradually dilutes one’s consciousness, eventually turning one into a being devoid of any emotion."

If indeed reaching the Selfless Realm results in one’s spirit and consciousness being continuously absorbed by this world, then such a situation would indeed occur.

Moreover, Qin An discovered that this situation was unavoidable. In other words, it was like being slowly cut with a dull knife, continuously losing one’s spirit and consciousness.

When it drains to the limit, one’s consciousness will become utterly diluted, turning into a creature without any emotion.

Yet, at this speed, it will take a long time, and now is not the time to consider these matters.

Qin An came back to himself and then took a deep breath.

He still planned to continue improving.

Crisis comes in both near and distant forms. The current crisis is a distant one, and he must now address the immediate crisis—the Heavenly Demons.

To tackle those Heavenly Demons, he must first enhance his strength, reaching a certain level of power to overcome the crisis.

Hence, Qin An hesitated no longer and prepared to leave immediately to train in the proficiency of the Butcher profession.

But just as Qin An was getting ready to act, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

As the footsteps began, Qin An slightly furrowed his brows and turned his head towards the door.

At the doorway, the old eunuch stood respectfully outside. Seeing Qin An’s gaze, he immediately bowed and said,

"Greetings, Mr. Qin. His Majesty has an urgent matter to discuss with you. If you have the time, you may proceed to the Imperial Study to confer with His Majesty on this important matter."

Qin An came to his senses and frowned, "An urgent matter?"

This piqued his interest.

Then, Qin An nodded to indicate he understood.

The old eunuch turned and left, without any hesitation.

In their position, they understood that someone of Mr. Qin’s status did not need much prompting.

Whether Mr. Qin wanted to go or not, or when he decided to go, was his choice, and saying too much might ruin things.

After the old eunuch left, Qin An fell into contemplation and decided to temporarily postpone improving the proficiency of the Butcher profession. Instead, he tidied himself up and headed towards the Imperial Study.

Considering that Emperor Xuanwu summoned him at this time, there must be something important.

He thought no more and quickly vanished from sight.

...

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Xuanwu was still pondering the next solution.

But after much thought, he still hadn’t come up with a concrete strategy and could only await Qin An’s arrival.

Then, just as Emperor Xuanwu was struggling, footsteps suddenly echoed.

Emperor Xuanwu looked up to see Qin An stepping into the room, and his face immediately lit up with delight.

He hurriedly walked over to Qin An without checking if Qin An wanted to sit, and pressed him into a chair.

Qin An looked puzzled.

For the sovereign of the Daqian Kingdom to show such an expression was unprecedented. If even he was losing composure, there must indeed be something important happening.

Without speaking much, he patiently awaited Emperor Xuanwu to continue.

Emperor Xuanwu paused briefly and then said, "Qin An, there’s no need for unnecessary words. Look at this, and you will understand."

Qin An furrowed his brows slightly but took the jade stone offered by Emperor Xuanwu.

When he attempted to connect his Void Essence to the jade stone, the corresponding message immediately came through.

He promptly placed the jade stone aside and exclaimed in surprise, "Selfless Realm Perfection? And they have as many as three Selfless Realm Heavenly Demons?"

This was what surprised him the most.

He never imagined the situation would involve the Selfless Realm.

According to the information given by Emperor Xuanwu, besides the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor, there were two other Selfless Realm Heavenly Demons.

And apart from these three, the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor possessed an All-Annihilating Puppet capable of reaching Selfless Realm Perfection.

Currently, the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor was using the All-Annihilating Puppet to absorb grievances, ultimately reaching the Selfless Realm Perfection.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "If this is true, once they complete these preparations, we will face inevitable destruction."

Qin An fell silent. Emperor Xuanwu was indeed correct.

Without reaching the Selfless Realm, it’s impossible to know the extent of its power, and only upon reaching it did Qin An realize the joking nature of the Celestial Human Realm in comparison.

Many of their Celestial Human Realm experts were from fragmented worlds, but facing the slaughter of three Selfless Realm Heavenly Demons would likely be insurmountable.

Even if they could resist for a time, they couldn’t hold out forever. Like being cut with a dull knife, they would eventually be annihilated.

Moreover, there’s now a Selfless Realm Perfection entity involved,

The All-Annihilating Puppet, while yet to fully mature, could easily grow at this rate.

"Do you have any methods to resolve this crisis?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.

He desperately needed a solution.

If the crisis could be resolved, then those Heavenly Demons would be much easier to deal with.

But how exactly to resolve it, he was at a loss.

Qin An thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said, "Your Majesty, continue to stabilize the grand scheme of Daqian, ensuring the smooth development of Daqian Kingdom. As for dealing with the All-Annihilating Puppet, I just devised a potentially effective plan, but it does involve some risk."

With these words, Emperor Xuanwu immediately replied.

"Risk is inherent in everything, and the risk we face now is more than just this. If we fail, our risks will multiply. Just tell me your plan."

The so-called risk, to him, really no longer mattered.

As long as the crisis could be resolved, he was willing to pay any price.

After contemplating for a while, Qin An slowly spoke, "Rather than sitting here waiting for doom, it’s better to take the initiative."
