Having given up on getting involved in the grudges of seven hundred years ago or the great conspiracy that might have lasted for seven hundred years, Xi Wei turned his attention to absorbing the divinity.
Although the Amazon the Rainforest Guardian was an ancient deity and its divinity was of a much higher quality than the Aquatic Lord, Xi Wei had only obtained a divinity fragment this time, which was why it wasn't that difficult to absorb. Moreover, it had been over seven hundred years since its death, and the mark of the deity within the divinity had mostly faded away, so it was better to say that everything was going smoothly.
Xi Wei worked tirelessly, and soon a new patch was created.
[Ding! Game System Version 3.0 update complete!]
[Added Life Skills for Players to learn and train]
Life Skills could affect certain in-game effects: for example, when a Player killed a prey with the skill 'Slaughter', the corpse would not disappear, but would be disintegrated into 'food ingredients' that had no special effects. (At the same time, the Player would not be able to obtain all the EXP from the prey). Players who learned the Cooking series of Life Skills could cook food with a certain chance of gaining buffs.
Life Skills could be 'learned' by spending skill points, but could not be leveled up with skill points. It could only be leveled up by repeatedly using Life Skills to accumulate proficiency.
Life Skills could also be used to gain EXP, and the higher the level of the Life Skill, the more EXP gained. It was also a good choice to train one's Life Skills when there were no monsters to fight.
[Apprentice System activated. Players can now go to any System shop to learn Life Skills as an apprentice (Please prepare sufficient game coins before you go).]
Life Skills was a new system that Xi Wei had been thinking about for a long time. It was a way for the Players to use up their increasing skill points, while also opening up other ways for the Players to gain EXP apart from fighting.
Of course, for most Players, it was more convenient to farm monsters than to earn EXP through Life Skills.
Xi Wei didn't have a good way to change that at the moment, but it wasn't a bad thing for the Players to be a little aggressive in the early stages of the Church of Games' development.
After all, the power of a church was measured by the combat prowess of its believers, aside from the level of the deity itself.
And the existence of the Player system, from a certain perspective, allowed true believers to be like the fanatics of other churches, a trick that allowed them to fight against other enemies without regard for their own safety for the sake of the church.
Of course, apart from Life Skills, there was also a new class in this update.
New Warrior Class: Junglewalker
Job Introduction
[Junglewalker: Possesses the 'Emerald Heart' that allows one to better bond with plants and animals, establishing a spiritual link with the surrounding woodland environment, gaining blessings and aid from the woodland in battle. Moreover, the Emerald Heart's unique trait allows the Junglewalker's senses to extend beyond the natural environment, gaining a greater range of vision and hearing, improving archery skills as well.]

Class Change Requirement: Ranger players above Level 15 are required to complete the corresponding Class Change Quest.
Just like the class Xi Wei created before, the Junglewalker was a new class he created by combining the authority of Amazon, the Rainforest Guardian's divinity. As always, the skill tree unique to the class had three paths.
The first step was to light up the Emerald Heart, which would completely transform mana into life force (not HP, but the feeling of turning one's mana bar green). It would also be able to consume life force to modify ordinary plant seeds and hasten their rapid growth. By controlling plants and even creating treants, it would become a 'Tree Shepherd'.
The uniqueness of this path was that the Players could nurture some plant subordinates to aid them in battle as long as they had enough HP. However, it was also because of that that if the plants controlled by the Players who specialized in this path were destroyed by the enemy, it would take a long time to recreate them. Moreover, to be on the safe side, the Players who took the path of Tree Shepherds would have to make space in their inventory to carry some plant seeds with them just in case.
The second was to light up the Emerald Heart, condense mana into a life crystal and store it in one's own body. In battle, one could use the life crystal to transform one's own body, transforming into various beasts or even magical creatures to fight. In a sense, beast-morphing was similar to druids in fantasy online games back on Earth. Players could only transform for a limited time, and each transformation required the consumption of a life crystal. On the other hand, the condensation of Life Crystals took time. While the number of Life Crystals that the Players could store within their bodies would increase as their levels increased, it was a little tight in the early stages when the number of Life Crystals was limited.
From that, one could see that the Emerald Heart itself was an inferior version of a divinity. Like how divinity could convert divine energy into divine power, the Emerald Heart could convert the Players' mana into lifeforce. Depending on the path chosen, it was up to the Players to decide whether the converted lifeforce would fill their green bar or become a Life Crystal, or even half and half.
The last route of this class was to ignore the conversion ability of the Emerald Heart, relying solely on the improvement of one's own physical attributes, archery skills that have reached the pinnacle, as well as the ability to set up various traps in the forest, becoming a 'Hunter King' who grasped supernatural skills with the body of a mortal.
A Senior Hunter was essentially an enhanced version of a normal Hunter. It was a long and arduous path, and its skills were more technical. It could even be said that this path was similar to the Kengyoku path of a Swordmaster, which only gave the Players a chance to embark on the path of Transcendence. Unlike other classes that could ascend to Transcendence as long as their level was high enough, it was difficult to continue down this path without perseverance and a certain level of talent.
Aside from those two changes, there was not much change in the new patch. The level cap was still at Level 60, since the Divinity Shard from Amazon the Keeper of the Grove wasn't huge, and it was already difficult for Xi Wei to complete his Life Skills and build his Junglewalker class. Moreover, he had to keep some divine power in reserve just in case, which was the limit.
"Oh, right. There's something else I almost forgot … "
Xi Wei slapped his head with his tentacles.
