In the year 1455 of the Celestial Epoch, Shenlong Empire, East Sea City's First High School.
Nearly a thousand students from the senior year gathered in the schoolyard, anticipation and nervousness etched on every face.
For today, was the day when all senior high students in the Shenlong Empire would awaken their professions.
More than a thousand years ago, the Void descended, countless Void creatures emerged from Void rifts, invading Blue Star across the globe.
Blue Star also underwent a drastic change.
It became deeply bound with a system called the Celestial Epoch.
Across the world, structures called Celestial Epoch Steles appeared. Humans could receive a blessing from these steles at the age of eighteen, awakening various professions.
In the center of the schoolyard, a black obelisk stood tall, countless lights flickering. A slender figure stood in the center of the altar.
"Teacher Chen, with Lin Feng's talent and grades, he should at least awaken an S-Rank profession, right?"
"Pretty much, he's our best genius in First High!"
Outside the altar, the teachers chatted quietly, their expressions expectant.
A beautiful woman with an elegant and intellectual aura smiled. Her professional attire accentuated her stunning figure, her black long legs particularly eye-catching.
She was the homeroom teacher of Class 9 in the senior year, Chen Ling Xi.
The young man currently undergoing the Awakening Ceremony was named Lin Feng, her student, and the most outstanding student in First High.
Every time he took a test, whether it was theoretical knowledge or physical fitness, Lin Feng scored close to perfect.
So she had high hopes for Lin Feng's Awakening Ceremony.
Suddenly, thunder roared and lightning flashed. A booming sound echoed from the void.
Then a holy light descended from the heavens, shining down on Lin Feng.
"This is..."
Upon witnessing this scene, not only did Chen Ling Xi widen her beautiful eyes, but Principal Lu Yun and other school officials on the ceremony platform stood up as well!
"SS-Rank profession phenomenon!!"
Could it be that their East Sea First High would create history?
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, a huge shadow passed over the sky. The students looked up and saw a luxurious spirit energy plane flying over East Sea City.
Then, the Awakening Ceremony was disturbed, and the holy light disappeared...
"What's going on!! What are the Transportation Control Bureau people doing!?"
"Didn't they say all transportation vehicles and teleportation arrays would be shut down during the Awakening Ceremony!?"
Principal Lu was both shocked and angry, he couldn't believe that the Awakening Ceremony would be disrupted!
After all, the Awakening Ceremony was complex and required an extremely stable space. Transportation vehicles using spirit energy, as well as teleportation arrays, would affect the stability of space.
Therefore, the Imperial Decree mandated that all cross-city transportation vehicles and teleportation arrays be prohibited during the Awakening Ceremony.
But today, a spirit energy plane actually took off and landed in East Sea City!
This was a blatant violation of the Imperial Decree!
Chen Ling Xi's face showed a worried expression as she looked at Lin Feng on the altar.
Don't let anything happen to him...
.........

"Young Master, we've arrived at East Sea City."
On the luxurious private plane, Qin Xian slowly opened his eyes.
He was about twenty years old, with a smooth and fair face, radiating sharp and handsome features. He was incredibly handsome.
Although his expression was slightly lazy, it couldn't conceal his noble aura, unconsciously inspiring awe in others.
Qin Xian looked at the scenery of East Sea City outside the porthole, a strange expression flashing in his eyes.
He had been transported to this world, it had been nineteen years...
The Qin Family was one of the most powerful families in this world.
His father, Qin Ming, the head of the Qin Family, an 89th-level Spirit Energy Master, ranked among the Empire's top five legendary powerhouses, and the Executive Chief of the Imperial Conclave, held immense power!
As the heir of the Qin Family and Qin Ming's only son, Qin Xian had received extremely strict elite education since childhood, and many had high expectations for him.
Qin Xian didn't disappoint, awakening the SSS-Rank legendary combat profession, Divine Oracle Knight!
At the moment he awakened his profession, the Celestial Epoch Stele emitted a phenomenon, spanning three hundred miles, even alerting the Regent.
Not only that, Qin Xian also awakened another profession at the same time, making him a rare dual-profession holder.
However, until now, nobody knew what his second profession was...
After awakening his profession, Qin Xian was directly recruited by the Imperial Academy. In just a year, Qin Xian's profession level had reached 21.
The maximum profession level for ordinary people is around 25.
In other words, Qin Xian had spent just one year reaching a height that most people would take a lifetime to achieve...
He was undeniably a super genius recognized throughout the Empire!
Before Qin Xian, an elderly man dressed in a suit with his hair neatly combed stood respectfully.
He was Qiu Bo, Qin Xian's personal butler.
He was also a 58th-level Battle Mage!
It should be known that a Battle Professional around level 40 could hold a position as high as City Lord in the Empire.
Battle Professionals above level 50 were national-level deterrent forces.
With Qiu Bo's strength, he could easily establish a large guild, or even become an Imperial General!
However, he willingly served as Qin Xian's personal butler, handling all kinds of affairs, always loyal and dedicated.
The Qin Family's foundation was evident...
Qin Xian said calmly, "Has that person's identity been confirmed?"
Qiu Bo nodded, "It's been confirmed. After that person took away the Secret Source, he stayed in Chaos City for a few years, then had a new identity made in the Underground Black Market after plastic surgery, and has been operating a butcher shop in East Sea City ever since."
Someone immediately stepped forward and respectfully placed a stack of documents in front of Qin Xian.
"Butcher shop?"
Qin Xian smiled, looked down at the documents in his hand, and sighed softly, "The youngest general in the military back then, now a butcher shop owner, what a shame."
Even as he said this, his eyes were filled with darkness.
Lin Yu, former Imperial General, 52nd-level Crimson Lotus Knight, also the youngest general in the military, was once the Emperor's bodyguard.
Fifteen years ago, during a military operation against the Void Frontline.
The Imperial Military suffered heavy casualties, six legions were completely wiped out, including the troops led by Lin Yu. Lin Yu disappeared afterwards.
The military believed Lin Yu was killed in action, but the Qin Family knew that the former Imperial General was still alive.
Lin Yu had stolen the Qin Family's treasure, the Secret Source, at the Void Frontline!
Then he faked his death and escaped...
The Secret Source, a supreme treasure from the Void, was crucial to the Qin Family's century-long scheme to seize the Empire!
In recent years, the Qin Family had been tracking down Lin Yu's whereabouts.
Qin Xian flipped through the documents in his hand, saw a young man's photo, and raised an eyebrow, "This Lin Feng?"
Qiu Bo said in a deep voice, "Lin Yu adopted an orphan and named him Lin Feng, who is now a senior high student at East Sea First High."
