Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

WHOOSH!

Light scattered as Zhang Yue appeared at the resurrection spring in the Ottiman Tribe.

[Ding~ You have been attacked by [Predator · Taotie], losing 33,258 HP. You have died]

[Ding~ The Resurrection Scroll has taken effect. You are resurrected but have suffered a death penalty: Level -1!]

Instantly killed.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yue wasn't most concerned about the fact that he'd just experienced his first in-game death.

What truly caught his attention was this Predator · Taotie.

That final gaze it gave him before he died jogged Zhang Yue's memory.

In his previous life, Zhang Yue, under the persona of Asura, had once slain a [King-Level] BOSS from a high-tier world: [Predator · Qiongqi[1]]. From Qiongqi's belly, he had retrieved a juvenile Predator.

Because this Predator cub was protected by the mother's blood essence, it couldn't be killed.

Zhang Yue had carelessly transported it to a lower-tier world, where he sealed it.

And that Predator cub was none other than Taotie[2].

Its seal location was in the Seventh World, near the Ottiman Tribe.

Turns out, this Predator · Taotie had come for revenge.

In this context, everything made sense.

This Predator · Taotie must be a God-Level BOSS.

After all, its mother, Predator · Qiongqi, was a King-Level BOSS.

In alternate worlds, BOSSes beyond ordinary levels include God-Level, Emperor-Level, Immortal-Level, and King-Level BOSSes.

These BOSSes share a unique trait: they are singular entities. Once dead, they don't respawn.

Additionally, they possess self-awareness.

Because of this, they are highly skillful in combat, unlike the mindless, standard BOSSes.

For powerful Immortal- or King-Level BOSSes, their awareness could even rival top-tier professional players.

For example, in the Sixth World, the sole hidden quest "The Phantom's Prophecy" required defeating the Undead Overlord and Abyss Overlord. These creatures had incredibly high combat awareness and skill. Although not God-Level BOSSes, they were close to God-Level, classified as Demigod-Level BOSSes. This meant that, with time, they could evolve into God-Level.

Because of this, no player had completed this quest in recent years.

After all, mere mortals had no means to combat God-Level BOSSes.

Two Demigod-Levels combined were essentially equivalent to one God-Level.

At this moment, Overload Blade tagged Zhang Yue in the guild chat: ["Where are you?"]

Zhang Yue: ["Just revived at the tribe."]

Overload Blade: ["You haven't set out yet?"]

Zhang Yue: ["No, I got killed on the way and just revived."]

Upon hearing this, Wu Haotian replied with a hint of schadenfreude: ["Seriously? Who could kill you?"]

Lin Tian guessed thoughtfully: ["Did you run into that Predator?"]

Seeing Zhang Yue's silence, which seemed to confirm it, Ouyang Ling'er exclaimed in disbelief: ["My goodness! Even you couldn't beat it, Guild Leader? What kind of BOSS is this monster?"]

Zhang Yue: ["It seems to be God-Level."]

As this message appeared, the guild chat erupted.

["Holy crap! God-Level? How could a low-tier world like the Seventh World have a God-Level BOSS?"]

["But records show that Seventh World BOSSes max out at 7-star. A 7-star BOSS shouldn't be this strong. It must be a God-Level BOSS.]"

["The level cap in the Seventh World is 50. A 50-level God-Level BOSS should be about as powerful as a same-level 9-star BOSS, right?"]

Everyone was stunned.

Only Zhang Yue sighed deeply: What goes around, comes around. The seeds I planted are now blooming.

But unfortunately, the flower that bloomed came with thorns.

At this moment, Ouyang Ling'er voiced her doubt: ["Based on the information I found, this Predator hasn't appeared in decades. Who released it?"]

The answer was already clear in Zhang Yue's mind.

As he looked up, he saw the very person he was thinking of: Ling Ke'er.

Somehow, Ling Ke'er, along with Glory River and the others, was standing outside the resurrection spring.

It was as if they knew Zhang Yue would appear here.

Ling Ke'er looked at Zhang Yue with a cold, arrogant expression:

"So, how does it feel? Do you now understand how formidable Miss Ling can be?"

"So it was you," Zhang Yue said faintly.

As it turned out, Ling Ke'er had locked herself in her room a few days ago, neither eating nor drinking, contemplating how to exact revenge on Zhang Yue.

Eventually, she stumbled upon a method to summon the "Demonic" Predator in the Seventh World from a mysterious website. She decided to give it a try.

She hadn't expected it to work.

Even Glory River and Glory Firmament were shocked, "That monster… It's that strong? It even defeated Zero."

Ling Ke'er crossed her arms, arrogantly looking at Zhang Yue:"If you kneel and apologize to Miss Ling now, there's still time."

Zhang Yue suddenly approached her, stepping in close and intimidating her: "Do you even know the cost of reviving a Predator?"

Meeting Zhang Yue's eyes, Ling Ke'er felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

Zhang Yue left without another word.

Glory River asked, puzzled: "Miss, what's the cost of reviving a Predator?"

Clenching her hem, Ling Ke'er's eyes were filled with hatred:

"None of your business."

On the other side...

As the one who sealed the Predator, Zhang Yue knew exactly what price had to be paid for reviving it.

That's because he had set the price himself.

Reviving a Predator bound the summoner's life to it. If the Predator died while active, the summoner would die as well.

At this moment, Ouyang Ling'er sent a message: ["Guild Leader, don't panic. A Predator's hunting range is random. It just happened to run into you. Avoid it for a bit. In a couple of days, it will be forcefully sealed again."]

Whether it was a coincidence, Zhang Yue knew all too well.

As he reached the southern exit of the Ottiman Tribe, he saw Predator · Taotie waiting outside.

Its blood-red eyes stared at him, seemingly taunting: "Come at me."

It wouldn't give up until Zhang Yue was dead.

Realizing this, Zhang Yue frowned.

While the safe zone could shield him from the Predator, it also meant he couldn't complete the [Defend the Tribe] or [Slime Slayer] quests.

The [Defend the Tribe] quest had only one day left. Zhang Yue couldn't afford to wait.

He had to kill the Predator.

But with his current strength, he wasn't its match.

The only way to counter the Predator was to reach level 45 and equip a full set of 7-star [Void Gear].

However, Zhang Yue, who had been one step away from level 45, had been knocked back to level 43 with 82% EXP after his death.

To level up to 45, he needed the rewards from either the Defend the Tribe or Slime Slayer quests.

But without killing the Predator, he couldn't leave to complete the quests...

It was a vicious cycle.

At this moment, Overload Blade sent a message: ["We've reached the Slime Village. When will you arrive?"]

Zhang Yue stared at the Predator blocking the gate and replied: ["If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't make it."]

["Why? Is the Predator targeting you?"]

["Yeah, it's watching me right now."]

Overload Blade replied: ["Then just avoid it for now. We'll handle the Slime Village quest."]

Overload Blade's words gave Zhang Yue an idea.

The Slime Village quest didn't require Zhang Yue to personally participate. As long as the objective of clearing out all the slimes in the village was completed, the quest would count as done.

He placed his hopes on Overload Blade: ["Bro, I'm counting on you guys."]

Overload Blade: "No problem."

Preparing for level 45, Zhang Yue retrieved the full set of 45-level, 7-star Void Gear from his storage— a reward from the Sixth World's unique quest [The Phantom's Prophecy].

Spending over 38 million energy points, he reforged the attributes of all seven pieces from purple to gold in one go.

Now, all Zhang Yue had to do was wait for Overload Blade and his team to complete the Slime Village quest.

Once he gained the quest rewards and leveled up to 45, he could replace his 35-level, 5-star Death Set with the 45-level, 7-star Void Gear.

At that point, he would be ready to take down Predator · Taotie.
