Chapter 44: Super S-rank Profession, World Destroyer!

“White Crane has gone back...”

Jiang He caught the card, staring at the empty bedroom entrance, feeling lost and desolate.

In just a week, he had already grown used to White Crane being by his side—

He had made the house no longer cold and lonely, allowing Jiang He to bicker, chat, and share food with someone. He could answer any of Jiang He’s questions, and he could do anything for him...

He was like a thoughtful older brother who appeared out of thin air, someone Jiang He could confide in freely, who brought him immense comfort and security.

Most importantly, he brought him “companionship.”

It was only at this moment that Jiang He suddenly realized.

Perhaps he had awakened the 【Ferryman of Time】 talent, not because of greed...

But because he just wished for someone to stay by his side.

Even if that someone was another version of himself.

“This way of thinking is far too sad.”

Jiang He cast the thought out of his mind.

In the past week, he had experienced many things. He had already grown considerably, and his mindset had matured a lot.

His melancholy came quickly but also left quickly. He lifted his spirits again.

“White Crane has returned, but the revealed future hasn’t disappeared.”

“As long as I wait for some time, I will still be able to summon him again.”

Jiang He closed his eyes in thought. He could not sense the exact cooldown of “Heroic Spirit White Crane,” only that the golden card representing him was slowly recharging.

As for how long it would take, he could not determine.

However, he could sense that the recharging speed would increase as his strength grew.

In addition, if in the future he created his own exclusive profession, gaining exclusive expertise, skills, and so on, perhaps it could further accelerate the recharging and shorten the summoning cooldown.

“Let’s take a look at something else first...”

Jiang He drew back his thoughts and focused on a golden sphere of light deep within his mind.

According to the rules of the 【Ferryman of Time】 talent, when a Heroic Spirit returned, he could extract one of their abilities.

Right now, this golden sphere was the ability left behind by White Crane.

What could it be?

A certain expertise? A specific skill? Or perhaps the most precious Word-Spirit talent?

Jiang He did not immediately touch the sphere. Instead, he took a deep breath and said:

“Lucky.”

Whether it worked or not, buffing his luck before opening a box was just basic practice!

After activating the Spell Word effect, he finally willed his thoughts forward and touched the sphere within his mind.

With his consciousness connecting, the sphere burst apart, exploding into endless streams of information that poured into his mind.

【Heroic Spirit Ability Extraction Successful.】

【You have obtained the Super S-rank Profession: World Destroyer.】

【Would you like to change profession?】

“...Are you kidding me?!”

Jiang He’s eyes bulged, his jaw nearly dislocating.

He wasn’t surprised that he didn’t extract a Word-Spirit talent—after all, it was the sole SSR.

But this Super S-rank profession, World Destroyer... what the hell was this?!

Wasn’t this the ultimate advancement path? From Word Keeper, to Word Bearer, to Sacred Speaker, advancing step by step? And now it was given to him directly?!

Moreover, according to the rules summarized in the Transcendent Era:

G-rank Transcendents could change into C-rank professions,

E-rank into B-rank,

C-rank into A-rank,

A-rank into S-rank.

And perhaps only S-rank Transcendents could advance into a Super S-rank profession.

But he was only E-rank!

Even if White Crane had said that this profession had no rank restrictions, wasn’t this far too outrageous?!

“Change profession, change profession, change profession, change now!”

If there were a button in his brain, Jiang He would have slammed it until it broke.

As his will stirred, a terrifying force filled with destruction, annihilation, and murderous intent surged from within his body, flooding through him in an instant—only to vanish without a trace.

【Profession change successful. You have gained new profession: World Destroyer lv1, with 1 World Destroyer skill point.】

【Gained Profession Expertise: Genocide】

【Unlocked Skill Tree: World Destruction】

...

【Genocide — Massively increases damage dealt to all living targets. Whenever you personally eliminate the last lifeform of an intelligent race, you gain one permanent ability enhancement from that race. (The more lives you personally eliminate, the stronger the ability gained.)】

...

【Leveling Method — Personally annihilate one species to gain 1 profession experience point.】

...

Jiang He gasped sharply, the room’s temperature soaring.

The World Destroyer truly lived up to being a Super S-rank profession, worthy of the “world-destroying” prefix.

Just its raw power enhancements alone, paired with its snowballing permanent growth ability, made it crush every other profession Jiang He had ever known—on the strength of a single expertise.

White Crane had possessed this kind of expertise strength. No wonder that, with only E-rank energy, he had been able to kill Principal Jiang, a peak B-rank.

The only drawback... was the way this expertise grew.

It was far too terrifying.

In comparison, the World Destroyer’s leveling method seemed almost “gentle.”

For every species eliminated, one profession experience point was gained.

On Blue Star, there were countless species, many already on the brink of extinction. If he targeted certain beasts, perhaps his World Destroyer profession could even level up...

Of course, endangered species were protected animals, which carried enormous risks.

Jiang He looked again at the exclusive skill tree of the World Destroyer profession.

To his surprise, as a Super S-rank profession, it did not have numerous paths and routes—only one simple selectable skill.

【Doomsday Declaration lv1 — Declare doomsday upon a life-bearing planet. While within this planet’s range, all your skills gain an immense boost. Once a doomsday declaration is realized, the boost becomes permanent and can stack. (At the same time, only one planet can be under doomsday declaration.)】

“...”

Jiang He could only describe it with two words:

Utterly terrifying.

He silently used his single skill point to activate the skill.

Unlike other professions, even after he lit up the skill, the World Destroyer skill tree revealed no next skill, only a new requirement—

【Unlock the second skill by completing one world destruction.】

“Good. Now I have a profession, and I have a skill...”

“It’s time to destroy the world.”

Destroy the world, my ass!

Not to mention that Jiang He was living just fine—he had no desire to become some great demon king of annihilation.

Even more so, with his mere E-rank strength, if he really tried to “destroy the world,” he would likely be hauled off to the security bureau and physically disciplined on the spot.

Compared to destroying the world, it was much better to honestly live as an S-rank genius.

Besides, even if Jiang He didn’t actually destroy worlds, that didn’t mean the profession was useless.

It was still a Super S-rank profession, bringing exaggerated boosts in strength... It could be treated as having drawn a super expertise and skill that enhanced his power.

After White Crane’s departure, Jiang He had not only lost the 【Word-Spirit Talent】, but also the raw “strength” that came with an S-rank talent.

Even if he could use his profession to unleash the power of Spell Words, they were only “false Word-Spirits.”

The actual strength was nowhere near what it had been before.

Now, things were different.

The strength boost from a Super S-rank profession absolutely rivaled that of an S-rank talent.

When Jiang He once again used a Spell Word ability, its power might not be diminished—in fact, it could even be stronger.

Of course...

That depended on activating the effect of 【Doomsday Declaration lv1】.

Jiang He took a deep breath, activating the skill. His eyes flashed with a red glow.

“I will destroy this world.”

The moment those words left his mouth, every living being in the world—humans, exotic beasts, animals alike—suddenly felt an inexplicable premonition. Fear and unease surged within their hearts.

Yet none of them knew the true source of their dread—

This was the power of a Super S-rank profession, beyond even the foresight of a Prophet.

Only Jiang He remained unaware of this fact, still immersed in the joy of his explosive growth in strength.

“Who said declaring doomsday means I really have to make it happen?”

“Can’t I just be a little chuunibyou and say it for fun?”

The ability extracted from White Crane left Jiang He extremely satisfied.

It made him look forward to the 【Ferryman of Time】 talent even more.

If the first Heroic Spirit was the Super S-rank World Destroyer...

What would his next future be?
