Chapter 198: Precautions for Awakening
Upon learning that only the first individual to initiate their awakening would have the opportunity to choose from five unique awakening talents, Jeremy felt an urgent need to prepare himself for the upcoming transformation.
After contemplating the matter seriously for a while, he turned to the class change goddess, Janna, and inquired.
"Are there any additional precautions I should be aware of regarding the awakening? Should I undertake any specific actions prior to the awakening to ensure that no unforeseen circumstances arise during the process?"
The class change goddess, Janna, regarded Jeremy with an appreciative gaze.
"You are absolutely correct, there are indeed other matters that require your attention prior to the awakening."
After delivering this statement, the class change goddess extended her palm. In the center of her hand, a blue-purple key materialized.
"If you wish to navigate the awakening process without encountering any unforeseen complications, you must acquire an awakening gemstone at the onset of the transformation.
Only the awakening gemstone can safeguard your mind from the overwhelming surge of power that may occur during the awakening. Without the gemstone, you run the considerable risk of losing your self-awareness due to the intensity of the forces at play during the process."
Upon hearing Janna's words, Jeremy felt a twinge of concern.
He had never anticipated that the awakening would come with such significant risks.
In the previous two class changes, Jeremy had never encountered such a significant risk.
"You can take this key and freely enter any instance, and that instance will be transformed into one related to the awakening gemstone. As long as you can successfully clear the instance, you will obtain the awakening gemstone."
As the class change goddess, Janna, spoke, the blue-purple key floated towards Jeremy, hovering just before him.
"You must accelerate your actions, for another individual is also perilously close to reaching the level of awakening."
While Jeremy was gazing at the blue-purple key, the class change goddess, Janna, offered him this timely warning.
Furrowing his brow in contemplation, Jeremy then posed a question.
"Is the person you mentioned the same Kean who has always been my adversary?"
The class change goddess, Janna, remained silent, merely nodding in response.
"I understand. I will endeavor to clear the awakening gemstone instance as swiftly as possible."
After uttering these words, Jeremy resolved to depart immediately. He felt an overwhelming sense of urgency, believing he could not afford to waste even the slightest moment.
However, just as Jeremy turned around, intending to leave, the class change goddess, Janna, called out to him from behind.
"In addition to obtaining the awakening gemstone to ensure that you do not lose your self-awareness during the awakening process, there are other important considerations to keep in mind. You may leave after I finish speaking."
Upon hearing this, Jeremy turned back to face her.
At that moment, his expression revealed a hint of displeasure.
In Jeremy's view, she should have clarified these matters in advance. When she mentioned Kean, he assumed that she had already conveyed all the necessary precautions.
"Apart from the necessity of carrying the awakening gemstone during the transformation, you must not bring any weapons or equipment with you at that time.
This is because all weapons and equipment possess corresponding attributes."
"The attributes of the weapons and equipment you carry may very well be in direct opposition to the attributes of the new talents you acquire during the awakening process.
If these two profound forces collide, it could lead to unforeseen complications during your awakening."
The class change goddess, Janna, reiterated another important precaution regarding the awakening.
"Rest assured, after reaching level 50 and arriving here, I absolutely will not carry any equipment. I believe that with you by my side, I will be safe from danger."
Jeremy had never intended to carry any weapons or equipment during the awakening process.
However, a faint smile of resignation appeared on the face of the class change goddess, Janna.
"You are somewhat overestimating my capabilities. I cannot guarantee your safety during your awakening. Once you commence your ascent, those orchestrating the apocalypse game, led by 'Fool,' will undoubtedly intervene.
Do you genuinely believe that 'Fool' cannot ascertain the precise moment of your awakening? He has already designated you as one of his enemies, and therefore, he will certainly not allow you to succeed in your awakening without significant obstacles."
Upon hearing the name "Fool." Jeremy felt a slight headache beginning to form.
Indeed, as the class change goddess, Janna, had pointed out, Jeremy would undoubtedly possess no means of self-defense during the awakening process.
Moreover, the orchestrators of the apocalypse game would certainly take the opportunity to disrupt his awakening.
In order to ensure his safety throughout this critical transformation, it seemed imperative for Jeremy to seek out some formidable bodyguards.
"Do you have any suggestions? I fear that the strength of my companions in the real world is utterly insufficient to contend with the architects of the apocalypse game."
After pondering for a moment, Jeremy decided to pose the question to the class change goddess, Janna.
"You can only seek assistance from the 'World.' I believe it would be willing to offer you some support, especially since you previously aided it in defeating one of the architects of the apocalypse game."
Janna's suggestion was indeed a solution that Jeremy had contemplated before.
However, he couldn't shake the feeling that relying on the 'World' to ensure his safety might ultimately prove futile.
Jeremy was acutely aware that the enemies facing the 'World' were immensely powerful, which implied that the 'World' had a multitude of pressing matters requiring its attention.
After a moment of hesitation, Jeremy addressed the class change goddess, Janna.
"I will consider the advice you have provided. Yet, I cannot be certain that the 'World' will have the time to offer me protection when the moment arrives."
The class change goddess, Janna, nodded silently in acknowledgment.
"Are there any other points I should be aware of?" Jeremy inquired softly, addressing Janna.
Janna proceeded to articulate the final two crucial considerations.
"There are two additional matters you must deliberate upon. The first is that during the awakening process, you must ensure that you possess a thorough understanding of the awakening talent you wish to acquire.
This is imperative because, during the awakening, information related to the desired talent will rapidly inundate your mind. If you do not have a comprehensive grasp of the awakening talent you seek, it is likely that you will lose some of that information.
As a consequence, this may result in the awakening talent you acquire being less powerful than anticipated.
The second point is that once the awakening commences, it must not be interrupted under any circumstances. If you pause during the awakening process, there is a significant risk that your consciousness may completely dissipate."
After absorbing all the warnings Janna had conveyed regarding the awakening process, Jeremy nodded gravely.
"I sincerely appreciate the plethora of information you have provided me. I will immediately begin to devise my subsequent action plan. Once I have formulated a comprehensive plan and arranged everything accordingly, I will inform you of the precise moment I intend to undergo the class change."
After uttering these words, Jeremy departed, taking with him the blue-purple key bestowed by the class change goddess, Janna.
Once Jeremy had left, Janna could not help but let out a sigh.
"Jeremy is indeed an exceptionally talented human, yet he is merely a human after all. Forcing him to continuously engage in battles among deities is exceedingly cruel."
Janna felt that it was already a considerable stretch for Jeremy to participate in the conflicts between deities.
The notion of having Jeremy ultimately assist them in obliterating all the architects behind the apocalypse game seemed utterly implausible.
Just as Janna finished her lamentation, the projection of the 'World' materialized directly before her.
"I believe you are somewhat underestimating Jeremy." it stated.
"He is not just an extraordinarily gifted human, in fact, he is the only one among all humanity who possesses the potential to ascend to divinity. He is absolutely capable of aiding us in vanquishing those Blasphemers led by the 'Fool.'"
The sudden appearance of the projection of the 'World' left the class change goddess, Janna, slightly taken aback.
After listening to what the 'World' had to say, Janna nodded in acknowledgment of its words.
"You have appeared here, which implies that you must have overheard my conversation with Jeremy, correct? Is there any possibility that you could provide him protection during his awakening process?"
In response to Janna's inquiry, the 'World' did not offer a definitive answer.
"Everything hinges on whether Jeremy can act swiftly enough in the coming days. If he manages to acquire the awakening gemstone within a few days, I will have the availability to offer him protection.
However, if he is unable to clear the awakening gemstone instance within a week's time, I will be unable to extend my protection to him. This is because, after a week, I must journey to the divine realm of the 'Fool.'
I must thwart His insidious plot."
Upon hearing the 'World's' plan, the class change goddess Janna let out a deep sigh.
"Our strength is still somewhat lacking, the enemies we face are far too powerful." Janna remarked. "Nevertheless, I am confident that Jeremy will be able to swiftly acquire the awakening gemstone."
The class change goddess Janna had no intention of opposing the plan put forth by the 'World.'
She was acutely aware that whatever concerned the 'World' was of paramount importance. If the 'Fool's' scheme were to succeed, it was highly likely that everyone, herself included, would face utter ruin.
The projection of the 'World' swiftly vanished from sight, leaving the class change goddess Janna alone to reflect in silence.
