"Participating in wars, of course. After experiencing a few hundred battles, one can be upgraded. Did you think only our world has wars? The Elven World, Dragon Blood World, and Titan World have wars just as we do.

Whenever a great war breaks out, our Xileruo World will also provide support.

Anyway, don't be impatient; your time to shine will come soon. I believe you'll upgrade quickly. Look, you started at Level 50 and now you're already at Level 72 – that's a 22-level increase. After two more battles, I estimate you'll reach Level 99.

If you were to go out alone, do you think you could increase by 22 levels within three or four days?

The battlefield is the fastest place to level up," Arlene said, explaining her own leveling journey.

Jiang Chen nodded. Indeed.

Warfare erupting at a scale of millions was indeed the best place for Jiang Chen to level up. If he went to the wilderness to kill demons, who knows how many days and nights it would take to level up!

Killing ceaselessly, with blood flowing like rivers, wouldn't result in a 22-level increase within three or four days either.

Jiang Chen had no desire to leave.

The key issue was that he was bored out of his mind.

Arlene said, "I'll contact my brother for you and see how he replies."

Jiang Chen nodded, walked out of the house, and waited for Arlene's reply.

「An hour later...」

Arlene came out and said, "If you want to go, my brother can accompany you. He is more familiar with the place, to prevent you from dying inside."

"When?"

"Tonight, you come back to our clan, and he will wait for you there."

"Okay."

「As night fell...」

Jiang Chen, along with Angelina, returned to the Xileruo World and met Gregory Arno.

Gregory Arno said with a smile, "Do you want to visit the black market?"

"I'll take a look while I'm there."

"Let's go then. But before that, you need to wear a mask. Everyone entering the black market must wear a mask to keep their true identity hidden."

Gregory Arno handed over two masks to them and put on a mask himself as well.

Gregory Arno said, "In the Xileruo World, there are many dark places. Although the Alliance of All-Gods superficially manages the world, many forces exist in the shadows, such as the Etheric Trade Association and the Orc Alliance.

The Etheric Trade Association is a place for trading goods. As long as you have money, you can obtain many things you need – equipment, items.

The Orc Alliance is the Assassination Guild. Whoever you want to kill, the Orc Alliance can take on the task; even [Apostles] are on their assassination list."

Angelina asked, puzzled, "Then why doesn't the Alliance of All-Gods wipe out the black market?"

"It exists because there is a demand for it. Driven by interests, it's possible that the black market is supported by certain clans or backed by influential figures. In short, where there is rule, there will inevitably be those who resist.

To enter the black market, one must have a Black Market Token. The place is very complex; there are Heroes, The Fallen, Corrupted Heroes, and many others all hiding within.

When entering the black market, you must tread carefully. No one will know your identity, and you won't know theirs, let alone their Level.

Therefore, in the black market, very few people take action against others.

But that doesn't mean there isn't any, as it is still a lawless zone."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Arno entered a Teleportation Array that seemed ordinary, with no one else around. After presenting the Token, the Teleporter nodded and then activated the Teleportation Array.

The three of them stepped into the Teleportation Array.

After coming out of the Teleportation Array, they walked several hundred meters and entered a small hut, where Arno took out the Token again.

The Teleporter activated the Teleportation Array.

After repeating this process and teleporting three times in total, they finally arrived at a port.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw only darkness around; they were in a large cavern, and the so-called black market was located within this cavern. The three boarded a small boat.

The feeble glow of candlelight illuminated the path ahead.

Jiang Chen surveyed the surroundings, with stone walls on both sides and a murky river blocking the path ahead.

「After traveling a few hundred meters...」

They arrived at another port and the three of them got off the boat.

Here, Jiang Chen witnessed what they called the black market, populated with masked figures, some of whom bore demonic antennae on their foreheads, clearly members of the Difiled Camp.

There were also The Fallen, clad in longswords and black robes, all wearing masks.

And there were members of the Feathered Tribe, flying about.

In short, everything could be found here.

Walking through the port into the streets and alleys, Jiang Chen glanced at a nearby stall, where a four-handed creature was bustling around, evidently a member of the Demon Race, and in front of it was an iron cage.

A young girl was imprisoned in the iron cage.

She was clearly merchandise for sale.

Arno explained, "That girl must be from the Incubus Clan. In the Alliance of All-Gods, many nobles buy incubi to keep them imprisoned. You should know the great benefits of having an incubus."

Jiang Chen nodded. He knew that an incubus could alter the Dream World.

In the Dream World, one becomes a god.

And the so-called benefits were nothing more than desires.

In the Dreamspace, an incubus could transform into anyone.

Jiang Chen asked, "Aren't you afraid that the incubi would rebel in the Dream Realm? They are quite powerful, aren't they?"

"Of course, there are ways to restrain them. Haven't you noticed? There is a collar on her neck, which can prevent them from killing people in the Dream Realm."

Jiang Chen took a glance and indeed saw the collar around the girl's neck.

The girl gave Jiang Chen a look that was filled with despair.

Angelina could not bear it. "She looks so pitiful, being sold on the street. Why don't we buy her?"

"I advise you not to do so. If she appears in the Alliance of All-Gods, she will definitely be killed by others, and you will be implicated as well. Those who buy them keep them hidden and are definitely not discovered by others.

Even if discovered, she will die," Arno advised persuasively.

Jiang Chen was expressionless. "Let's go."

Just last night, he had killed several incubi.

They passed a stall displaying armor that radiated dazzling blue light, legendary equipment laid out openly as if to flaunt.

And no one seemed to fear theft.

Arno whispered, "That must be from a strong figure of the Difiled Camp. Those pieces of equipment all have names inscribed on them, special equipment."

"Why isn't anyone buying?"

"It would be troublesome. You need to find someone to rename the equipment before it can be used, but the cost of renaming is incredibly expensive, beyond your imagination."

Jiang Chen looked at the sword in his own hand.

[Lehren Magnetic Sword (Gold Level)]

This was equipment obtained by defeating Leilun Magnetic, a powerful figure from the Difiled God Camp. If it had been equipment from the Alliance of All-Gods, it would also bear the name of its notable owner.

Wearing such named equipment could indeed bring trouble.

The original, named owners of such equipment were usually backed by significant clan lineages.

Jiang Chen asked, "Then who would buy such equipment?"

"If someone takes a liking to it, there will naturally be buyers. However, most of the time it is the Etheric Trade Association that makes the purchase. They use special channels to change the names, allowing the equipment to be used.

So the Etheric Trade Association has a powerful backing behind it."

After crossing a main street, an old man sat expressionlessly to the side.

He glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned his gaze onto Angelina, staring fixedly at her form as Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.
