Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 47: Shattered Heaven

The appearance of the Shattered Heaven dungeon this time has attracted nearly every confident professional between Levels 15 and 40 within the Empire. 

The rewards and benefits from this large-scale special dungeon are incredibly enticing. If one can successfully clear it, not only could they potentially level up several times, but the equipment they obtain could easily serve them until the end of their career—or even be passed down as a family heirloom.

But the most coveted aspect of Shattered Heaven is its completion rewards.

Shattered Heaven is a 25-person raid dungeon, where groups of up to 25 professionals can team up to challenge and defeat the trials within. 

It’s said that those who successfully complete the dungeon and perform exceptionally well can receive blessings from the ancient gods of paradise, who appear at the end of the raid. These blessings are permanent buffs that can elevate a professional’s power to unimaginable heights.

Every time Shattered Heaven has appeared in the past, it has produced countless powerful individuals. Many of those who cleared it have become the pillars of humanity, their names legendary. 

For example, Jiang Chen, the current commander of the Aurora Legion in the military, was only a B-grade Berserker 20 years ago. He cleared Shattered Heaven and received a near-perfect evaluation from the ancient gods. 

As a reward, he was granted a blessing that increased his primary attributes by 30%, raised all his skill levels by 10, enhanced all his equipment’s stats by 30%, and boosted his experience gain by 50%.

This blessing allowed him to rise rapidly, eventually becoming a Level 65 national deterrent-level powerhouse.

Jiang Chen’s story has inspired countless low-grade professionals, especially those below A-grade, who now dream of clearing Shattered Heaven and receiving a god’s blessing to change their destinies.

A brief glance reveals that tens of thousands of professionals have gathered at the entrance to the dungeon! 

Not only have the younger generations of the major noble families come, but students from various academies and members of many large guilds have also organized teams to challenge the dungeon. Meanwhile, numerous independent professionals are forming impromptu groups on the spot.

“New Shattered Heaven raid forming, need tanks, healers, DPS—24 spots available!”

“Heaven’s Chosen Guild is temporarily recruiting for the Shattered Heaven raid, accepting Level 30+ professionals with at least B-grade combat professions!”

“Strong DPS here, looking for tanks, healers, and stronger DPS+++!”

“Northern Harmony Academy third-year students gather for the Shattered Heaven raid!”

Although the dungeon won’t open for another three days, professionals have already begun forming teams, causing a chaotic yet energetic atmosphere throughout the Hengjiang region.

Amidst the bustling crowd, a group of haughty young people arrived at the scene. Their gear was luxurious, and their aura was intimidating, exuding an air of superiority over the other professionals—like dragons among mortals.

“Imperial Academy students, gather here!” one of them called out.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding professionals’ faces changed, showing expressions of respect as they hurriedly made way.

The Imperial Academy is the top academy in the Empire, and graduates from the Imperial Academy typically secure positions in key government departments, becoming the backbone of the nation. 

Moreover, the Imperial Academy is known as the academy of nobility. To gain entry, one must either possess exceptional talent—at least S-grade—or hail from a noble family.

Thus, the students of the Imperial Academy are either exceedingly talented or have powerful backgrounds. When the onlookers heard the call, they immediately stepped aside, not daring to provoke the Imperial Academy students. 

Some newcomers, unfamiliar with the hierarchy, showed dissatisfaction at the students’ arrogance and wanted to voice their objections.

However, they were quickly pulled back by more experienced professionals.

“Those are Imperial Academy students!”

“So what if they are?”

“Those students are from noble families, their fathers are high-ranking officials or military leaders—do you really want to cross them?”

Although still somewhat indignant, the newcomers lowered their heads. Meanwhile, guild members quickly moved out of the way, knowing all too well the consequences of offending these students. A single word from one of them could bring disaster.

This is the harsh reality…

One of the Imperial Academy students, a young man named Li Yang, walked with an air of arrogance, his expression filled with contempt. Li Yang is the scion of the Li family from the Imperial Capital and a third-year student at the Imperial Academy. He is a Level 22 A-grade Fire Mage and considered quite formidable within the academy.

His father is the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, a position of considerable power, making Li Yang an influential figure in his own right. Now, with the appearance of Shattered Heaven, Li Yang has led a group of his fellow Imperial Academy students to the Hengjiang region to challenge the dungeon.
