Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Upon hearing the notification, Zhang Yue, holding the only Hell Key, sighed in relief, "The Destiny Chest has finally appeared."

With this motivation, Zhang Yue teamed up with the two major guilds to swiftly crush the remnants of the Infinite Guild.

Then, opening the map, he immediately followed the newly updated marker to reach the location where the Hell-grade chest had spawned.

Arriving there, he saw a massive crowd already gathered. A towering dark red beam of light stood in the middle of the crowd.

Countless players surrounded the light, yet no one could get close.

The closer one got to the light, the more flashes of white light appeared—clearly marking deaths.

As the only Hell-grade chest within the Gates of Hell, its guardian was far stronger than the guardians of ordinary chests. Approaching it was no trivial task for the average player.

But its value surpassed even that of a King-grade chest. Being the only Hell-grade chest in the world, its allure was simply irresistible.

Everyone wanted it.

However, they didn't know: even if they managed to obtain the Hell Chest, they wouldn't be able to open it.

Because the only key that could unlock the Hell Chest was in Zhang Yue's possession.

Ahead, players charged at the chest like moths to a flame, falling one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

With consecutive explosions, dozens of players within the inner circle were instantly killed. Those on the outskirts began retreating, afraid to get any closer.

"Damn! The guardians for this chest are insane. There are even several boss-tier ones. Whoever goes in dies."

"No kidding. It's the only Hell-grade chest on the map. If it were easy to get, it wouldn't be called Hell-grade."

"Whoever gets this chest is going to strike it rich."

As the crowd discussed animatedly, Zhang Yue walked through them.

Looking ahead, he saw a Hellfire-encased chest calmly resting within a magic array.

Surrounding it were over thirty grotesque, four-legged beasts with gaping jaws full of sharp teeth. They stood tall and imposing.

These creatures were all level 40 monsters, Heart-Eating Demons, with three of them being boss-tier.

The Fifth World's ceiling-level monsters, and in such numbers—no wonder the level 32-33 players couldn't even approach the Hell Chest.

Even Zhang Yue himself felt a twinge of apprehension when facing such formidable creatures.

Zhang Yue quickly used Scout to assess their stats.

'Too many of them. Way too strong.'

Zhang Yue immediately came to a conclusion: "We can't beat this."

At this moment, Wu Haotian looked at the rogue, Lucy, and asked, "Can you steal it?"

"I tried, but I couldn't." Lucy frowned. "The chest is sealed by some kind of power. We have to deal with the guardians first to pick it up."

"What now?" Everyone present fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yue, however, remained calm. "Leave it. We'll come back next time."

Lin Tian hesitated. "But each person only gets one chance to enter the Gates of Hell in their lifetime."

Zhang Yue, holding the Hell Key, replied, "I have four chances. This time doesn't count. I still have three left."

Hell Key holders received three extra entries into the Gates of Hell—a major safety net for Zhang Yue.

Ning Tiantian voiced her concerns, "But what if someone else takes the chest by then?"

"Don't overthink it, Sweetie," Wu Haotian said dismissively. "If even our guild leader can't take it, who else at this stage can? Is there anyone more overpowered than our leader among the new players?"

With that, Zhang Yue and his team each took the highest-grade chest they had looted and left the Gates of Hell.

The main issue was Zhang Yue's weapon being too low-level.

His current weapon, a level 25 three-star Necromancer Staff, was proving increasingly inadequate against higher-level monsters in Otherworld.

Opening his storage space, Zhang Yue retrieved a King-grade Chest contributed by the Infinite Guild.

Now, all he hoped for was a five-star weapon from this chest. With it, he could immediately re-enter the Gates of Hell and claim the Hell Chest.

Zhang Yue was probably the only player among those entering the Gates of Hell who brought out a King-grade chest.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, and the others opened their own chests, which were Diamond or Star Glory grade, also contributed by Infinite Guild players.

Lin Tian hit the jackpot, pulling out a rare mage skill book worth over seven figures from his Star Glory chest—an incredible stroke of luck.

Ning Tiantian, Lucy, and Wu Haotian, opening Diamond-grade chests, each received four-star golden equipment and a wealth of high-level materials. Not bad at all.

But all eyes were on Zhang Yue's King-grade Chest.

Zhang Yue opened it.

[Ding~ Congratulations on opening a King-grade chest. Rewards: Level +1, Gold +100, Ability Energy +10,000,000 (with a 10,000x multiplier) Received: [Death's Eye Blueprint] +1]

'A five-star item!'

But to Zhang Yue's slight disappointment, it wasn't a complete piece of equipment but a crafting blueprint for a staff.

It would require significant materials, manpower, and resources to create.

At least Lin Tian's Star Glory chest yielded a rare skill book. Compared to that, the King-grade chest felt underwhelming.

As Zhang Yue was brooding, Lin Tian looked up some info online and made a shocking discovery. "There's no record of [Death's Eye] online. This might be the first-ever special-type equipment in the Otherworld's history."

The words special-type equipment sent chills down everyone's spine.

Special-type equipment was known to be one-of-a-kind, with a unique upgrade system far surpassing ordinary equipment of the same grade.

In this light, the King-grade chest's reward didn't seem so bad after all.

Wu Haotian chimed in, "But even with the blueprint, regular blacksmiths probably can't make special-type equipment."

Zhang Yue immediately messaged Liu Yao, "Do me a favor and have the Xiao family's craftsmen make me some equipment."

Busy excavating chests with his guild in the Gates of Hell, Liu Yao received the blueprint from Zhang Yue and forwarded it to the guild's logistics department to contact the Xiao family.

Not long after, he reported back, "Brother Yue, Xiao's chief crafter said they can make it, but you need to provide the materials. Their warehouse is empty because too many people have been commissioning them."

"No problem," Zhang Yue replied. "Send me the list of materials."

"Just 300 level-5 magic crystals," Liu Yao said. "Also, since this is special equipment, the cost is higher—50,000. Is that okay?"

Zhang Yue, having looted plenty from the Infinite Guild, agreed without hesitation. "Sure, I'll get the materials and find you."

"Got it!"

With Death's Eye in hand, Zhang Yue's first priority would be claiming the Hell Chest.

Now, the next task was collecting materials.

At this moment, Lucy ran up to Zhang Yue and asked, "Does your offer still stand?"

"Of course," Zhang Yue said. "Welcome to Heavens Hall."
