Of course, joining the God-Demon Corps has plenty of benefits, but there are entry requirements too. First, your cultivation must reach late-stage Lower-Rank God, and second, you have to pay a hundred god-crystals.
"Ian Song, are you planning to join the God-Demon Corps?"
Jade Shaw asked with a bright smile.
Ian Song asked again, "Are there any restrictions after joining the God-Demon Corps?"
Jade Shaw replied, "There are, but they're not a big deal. First, the God-Demon Corps has different star-ranks. After a One-Star God-Demon joins, you must complete three missions within a hundred years. Once you finish three, there are no more requirements for that century. If you get promoted to Two-Star, you only need to finish two missions per hundred years. For Three-Star, just one per hundred years. Four-Star only needs one mission per thousand years. If you make it to Five-Star, there are no restrictions at all. The highest rank is Nine-Star!"
"So how do you get promoted in the God-Demon Corps?" Ian asked curiously.
Jade Shaw answered, "First, your cultivation has to meet the requirements. For One-Star God-Demon, you need at least late-stage Lower-Rank God. Two-Star needs at least mid-stage Mid-Rank God. Three-Star requires late-stage Mid-Rank God. Four-Star needs early-stage Upper-Rank God. Five-Star requires late-stage Upper-Rank God. Six-Star is early Lower Heavenly God, Seven-Star is early Middle Heavenly God, Eight-Star is early Upper Heavenly God, and Nine-Star is God-King Realm!
Second, there's the number of missions you complete. For example, if a One-Star God-Demon wants to be promoted to Two-Star, they have to successfully finish five missions. If they fail one, they need to complete two extra successful missions to make up for it...!"
"So how many Nine-Star God-Demons are there in the Corps?" Ian asked again.
"That I don't know. I'm only a Two-Star God-Demon right now, so I can't access that kind of info!" Jade Shaw said apologetically. "Ian, I really think you should join the God-Demon Corps. There's an escort mission coming up that's very safe, because a peak late-stage Upper-Rank God will be accompanying us. The mission lasts about three months, and the reward is eighty god-crystals!"
After just a moment's hesitation, Ian Song nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll join the God-Demon Corps. Where do I sign up?"
Jade Shaw smiled sweetly. "Follow me!"
Led by Jade Shaw, Ian Song arrived at a spacious room. Inside sat a black-robed elder, and Ian could sense he was an Upper-Rank God.
"Lord Bone, this is Ian Song—he wants to join the God-Demon Corps!" Jade Shaw said respectfully to the black-robed elder.
"Greetings, Lord Bone!"
Ian Song bowed in salute.
The elder looked up at him, then nodded, producing a divine-script contract for Ian to sign in blood. Ian could read divine script, so after checking the contract and seeing no traps, he simply dripped a drop of blood onto it.
The black-robed elder put away the contract, then tossed Ian a round medallion. It was black, engraved with a sword and shield, and underneath the design was a single black five-pointed star.
Jade Shaw smiled, "Congratulations, Ian Song! You're now a One-Star God-Demon. As long as you wear this medallion, you'll be able to sense other members nearby. Also, when you go out with it, bandits won't dare mess with you. By the way, do you want to take that escort mission? If you do, I can take you to the Quest Hall!"
"Sure, I'll trouble you then!"
After Ian Song and Jade Shaw left, the black-robed elder known as Lord Bone couldn't help but smile. "That kid's really lucky. Miss Jade is actually being so enthusiastic with him!"
The Quest Hall was a tower-shaped building with nine floors.
One-Star God-Demons could only take missions on the first floor. After being promoted to Two-Star, you could go to the second floor for missions—though Two-Star God-Demons could still take first-floor jobs if they wanted.
At that moment, there were still quite a few people in the One-Star Quest Hall—over five hundred, including more than a dozen wearing Two-Star God-Demon medallions.
Missions were written on the mission wall, with many task crystals floating above it.
To accept a mission, you just needed to take the task crystal.
Jade Shaw reminded him, "Ian Song, you're in luck—there's still one spot left on that escort mission. Hurry up and grab the crystal!"
"Mm!"
Ian Song stepped forward, reached out, and took the task crystal. Instantly, a stream of mission details appeared in his mind.
The information included the mission time, team size, reward, and more—all very detailed.
