Chapter 3626

Within the Divine Domain, clouds and mist flowed. Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a wide crystal chair, holding a dozen potion bottles in his hand. After drinking one, he felt the damage to his internal organs ease significantly.

Beside him, the Goddess of Luck watched this scene with a somewhat complex expression. She thought to herself that without the level of a Potion Master, it would be absolutely impossible to drink healing potions as if one were drinking fruit juice.

Su Xiao did not know the Goddess of Luck's thoughts. Right now, he only wanted to recover his state as quickly as possible and open the treasure chests before the luck bonus disappeared.

【Prompt: Main Quest · Third Ring · Choice (Activated).】

【Main Quest: Choice (Third Ring)】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 80～Lv. 86.

Quest Brief: You have successfully hunted the "Deceiver" and the "Informant." The subsequent targets you hunt will cause this main quest to enter different branches.

Selectable targets: The Mysterious One, The Defector.

Quest Duration: 8 natural days.

Quest Reward: Origin Stone × 3.

Prompt: After promoting to the Ninth Tier, the main quest reward for the first world will definitely be Origin Stones. The specific quantity will be comprehensively determined based on factors such as quest difficulty and quest completion rate.

Quest Penalty: Forced execution.

……

The third ring of the main quest was finally activated. Previously, after killing the Nightmare King and completing the second ring of the main quest, although he received a quest reward of 2 ordinary Origin Stones, the main quest seemed to have stalled, with no follow-up.

After checking the quest content, Su Xiao decided to act according to the original plan: first deal with Black Rose; there was no rush regarding the Sand King for now.

The Sand King was not only the monarch of the Desert Kingdom, but his strength also ranked fourth in this world, making him very difficult to deal with.

This battle against the God of Radiance made Su Xiao discover many of his own problems. First, his accumulation was not enough; second, his tankiness was insufficient. In the life-and-death battle just now, he was almost instantly killed by the God of Radiance's combo. If not for the dark embers effect of the 【Inscription Pedestal · Wrath Statue】 triggering, causing his physical defense to skyrocket in a short time, he would have been in danger just now.

Su Xiao estimated that once his recovery ability, such as the team skill "Vitality Su Xing" and other healing effects, were suppressed, he could at most withstand 5 to 6 attacks from the God of Radiance.

At this stage, it is difficult to improve survivability. The "Basic Passive · Body Soul" corresponding to the real stamina attribute has already been pushed to Lv. EX, which is the absolute limit level. To continue improving survivability, unless he masters a new powerful survival-type passive ability.

The problem is that "Basic Passive · Spirit Resilience" and "Basic Passive · Blood Su Xing" are still waiting to be fed, and the more resource-consuming "Basic Passive · Shadow Speed" has not even been upgraded by one level. Added to the development of three grandmaster skills, he truly cannot afford to develop new survival-type abilities.

Su Xiao is currently very short on soul coins because, in addition to these abilities, the "Basic Passive" corresponding to his real strength attribute has not yet been obtained.

This aspect must be obtained in the near future, not only because the "Basic Passive" corresponding to strength greatly improves his combat power, but also for a more important reason.

There are a total of seven "Basic Passive" abilities, corresponding to strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, charm, perception, and soul attributes respectively. Moreover, after mastering the "Basic Passive," Su Xiao discovered one point: these skills are separately classified by the brand into a single skill category.

When he first mastered "Basic Passive · Recovery," which corresponds to the real intelligence attribute, this ability was lonely in this independent skill list. Later, after mastering "Basic Passive · Body Soul" corresponding to stamina and "Basic Passive · Spirit Resilience" corresponding to the soul, Su Xiao discovered that these abilities were listed side by side.

Among the six basic passives Su Xiao currently masters, after "Basic Passive · Body Soul" reached Lv. EX, the skill icon for this ability turned into a unique gold color and occasionally flowed with a faint golden luster.

At first, Su Xiao thought this was a unique manifestation of a "Basic Passive" reaching Lv. EX, but after mastering the sixth "Basic Passive · Shadow Speed" not long ago, he discovered this was not the case.

The six "Basic Passives" are arranged side by side in the skill list. Among them, "Basic Passive · Body Soul" emits a golden luster. Above the icon of this ability, a golden dashed line spreads, and the gold spreads to the very top of this page of the list, outlining a very faint skill icon, so faint that its appearance is completely invisible, and the outline is very blurry.

The meaning expressed by this is already obvious. When all seven "Basic Passives" are mastered and all seven of these abilities are upgraded to Lv. EX, these seven "Basic Passives" that have reached Lv. EX will activate the unknown "Basic Passive" at the very top. There is no doubt that this ability must be powerful to the extreme.

Su Xiao estimated that if he wanted to fight against the tier of Seferia and the Gale King, and pass the Iron Trial, his main attributes would all need to reach above 320 points, and in addition, upgrading both Sword Art Grandmaster and Close Combat Grandmaster to Lv. 80 should be enough.

But if he wants to reach the level of the Underworld God, the Deer God, and Lord Soul, this final "Basic Passive" is indispensable.

As for reaching the level of the Tuanzhang and the Supreme Being, it is not very clear for the time being. That level, which transcends the absolute strong, might be difficult to reach even if the three grandmaster abilities are maxed out. Since the concept of the Void has existed, such strong individuals at that level have been few and far between.

The characteristics of the "Basic Passive" made Su Xiao think about why the 【Basic Passive Skill Scroll Treasure Chest】 in the Honor Store disappears once it is refreshed.

Closing the skill list, Su Xiao perceived his own injuries and confirmed that they had largely recovered by sixty percent. He put away the remaining few bottles of 【Vitality Stock Solution】 and checked the kill prompt that had just appeared.

【Prompt: You have killed the God of Radiance.】

【You obtained 5290 soul coins.】

【You obtained Golden Skill Point × 1.】

【You obtained 27.8% of the World's Source.】

【You obtained God Bone × 1 (Origin Grade).】

【You obtained Origin Grade Treasure Chest · Radiance.】

……

Su Xiao was not surprised by such gains. The strength of the God of Radiance was there. Being able to kill the opponent this time was mainly because the preparations made in advance were comprehensive enough.

Throughout the entire battle, although the World Thunder only struck twice, Su Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to give the God of Radiance two shots of Super Blood Smoke Cannon, and Caesar used the method of "Man and Jar as One" to suppress the God of Radiance's recovery ability, preventing it from recovering even 1 point of health throughout the entire battle.

These factors combined led to the death of the God of Radiance, who ranked second in combat power in this world.

A familiar yet strange fluctuation appeared on Su Xiao's hand. He looked at the ring on his hand and knew that the ability replacement of the 【God's Judgment】 ring was complete.

This is the characteristic of the God's Judgment ring: it will obtain corresponding abilities based on the evil god killed. Last time he killed the Sin God, he obtained "Sin Fire." This time, the ability obtained from killing the God of Radiance forcibly replaced "Sin Fire."

【God's Judgment +10】

Price: Cannot be sold.

……

The new passive of God's Judgment is very practical, much more practical than the previous "Sin Fire." Except when dealing with the Sin Aggregate, Su Xiao had never triggered "Sin Fire," causing him to almost forget about this ability.

Just at this moment, an ominous fluctuation came. Su Xiao was somewhat familiar with this feeling.

An object suddenly appeared, falling from above and smashing in front of Su Xiao. It was a stone statue. Although not large, it smashed onto the ground with a bang, causing the stone slabs on the ground to crack.

"Hmm?"

The Goddess of Luck looked at the fallen 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】. She was confused. The first thought that appeared was: isn't she the deity in charge of luck? How dare such a bad luck object appear in front of her?

A golden ring appeared in the pupils of the Goddess of Luck. Although her greatest hobbies were gourmet food and playing, she was definitely a top-tier existence in the fields she excelled in. Just the fact that she could enhance the luck of the Law-Extinguishers showed this point.

The appearance of the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】 represented that the Ghost Prophet could no longer hold on and could only let this bad luck object find Su Xiao. Helping to hold on for so long over there was already no small favor.

As soon as the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】 fell, it erupted with unique spatial fluctuations. As a lower-tier of the Soul Crown, this thing was no longer a derivative of the Soul Crown. A long time ago, it had promoted to an independent existence. Where the Soul Crown existed, it would also be there.

Sensing that the Goddess of Luck was present, the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】 was just about to leave this place when a hand, faster than the Goddess of Luck, grabbed the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】.

This hand was somewhat thin and withered, but after grabbing the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】, all spatial fluctuations around the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】 were dispelled. The owner of this hand was none other than Caesar.

Caesar, in the state of "Man and Jar as One," grabbed the 【Bad Luck Stone Statue】 with both hands and put it away. During this process, a faint crisp sound of "crack" was heard.

Regarding this, Su Xiao just took a look and ignored it. With the Goddess of Luck present, the bad luck object was not a concern. With Caesar present, the one who had to bear the danger was the bad luck object.

Su Xiao took out all five treasure chests he had obtained. The Goddess of Luck from not far away floated over. Because she had a special brand without permission from the Void Tree, the Goddess of Luck could also see the treasure chests.

"I've also opened these things, but I got a bunch of titles that couldn't be used."

Hearing this, Su Xiao's hand, which was about to pick up the treasure chest, paused. He was silent for a few seconds and did not pursue the matter. He chose to open the 【Ambition Box】 dropped by Vice Dean Yasinger first.

【You have opened the Ambition Box.】

【You obtained Ancient Soul Clock (Special Equipment).】

【Ancient Soul Clock】

Origin: Shadow World.

Quality: Special Equipment.

Category: Small Pendulum Clock.

Durability: 30/30 points.

Equipment Effect: Timing (Passive), can use this soul clock for timing. After the set time arrives, there will be a 50% probability of triggering "Elf Morning Song" or a 50% probability of triggering "Ghost Lullaby."

Elf Morning Song: Beautiful singing comes from the soul clock to wake you up, welcoming a new day. In the subsequent 16 hours, your luck attribute +2 points, stamina recovery speed +10%, soul energy recovery speed +10%.

Ghost Lullaby: You will continue to sleep for 2～5 hours due to the ghost's lullaby. During the continued sleep, your mental strength, sanity limit, and soul strength will all receive permanent improvements.

Prompt: This equipment can only be used once per natural day, and the user must enter a sleep state for this equipment to be normally activated.

Brief: A new day always has surprises.

Price: 2700 soul coins.

……

A soul clock about 10 centimeters high appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This thing was quite interesting. It was like an alarm clock, but not quite. This thing had a 50% probability of a sleep effect. If one was not careful, one would sleep until noon.

But to say it was useless was not true. The bonus of "Elf Morning Song" was top-tier, and "Ghost Lullaby" was even more top-tier. The only thing that made Su Xiao somewhat concerned was that this thing was triggered probabilistically. If his luck recovered to a normal level, he feared he might not necessarily hear "Elf Morning Song," and would hear the ghost's lullaby every morning, sleeping past the time every day.

Putting away the 【Ancient Soul Clock】, Su Xiao picked up the 【Reincarnation Box】. The best opening result for this thing was to open out Reincarnation Soul Blood.

【You have opened the Reincarnation Box.】

【You obtained Reincarnation Soul Blood (Bloodline/Profession Characteristic Item).】

【You obtained Reincarnation Ring (Inactive, this item can only be activated by a Reincarnator).】

……

【Reincarnation Soul Blood (Bloodline/Profession Characteristic Item): After fusing with this item, there is an 85% probability of becoming a Reincarnator.】

【Warning: After becoming a Reincarnator, your main attribute will never be able to break through the 300-point barrier.】

【Warning: After becoming a Reincarnator, your technique ability will never be able to reach above Lv. 80.】

……

Not only did he open the Reincarnation Blood with the highest value in the 【Reincarnation Box】, but he also opened the 【Reincarnation Ring】 that perfectly matched it. This made Su Xiao feel the luck brought by the 300-point luck attribute.

【You have opened the Origin Grade Gem Box.】

【You obtained Death Gem (Origin Grade Gem · Unique · Undead System Exclusive · Highly Rare).】

【Death Gem】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: Origin Grade · Unique · Undead System Exclusive.

Type: Gem (Highly Rare).

Usage Requirement: Undead system core passive ability Lv. 75 or above, willpower 130 points or above.

Holding Effect: To activate this gem, one must obtain the gem's approval, otherwise one will be controlled in mind by it.

Inlay Effect: Undead system summon quantity limit +40%, elite rate increased by 25%, all undead system summons' basic skills +1.

Inlay Requirement: This gem can only be inlaid into equipment of Origin Grade or above, and it will occupy all inlay slots.

Prompt: This characteristic has priority.

Rating: 3000++++ points (Origin Grade gem rating is 1500～3000 points).

Brief: Not everyone is qualified to possess it.

……

Su Xiao looked at the gem in his hand. Although he was not particularly knowledgeable about Origin Grade gems, he had heard of the five strongest Origin Grade gems, but he did not expect that he would obtain one of them.

The price of a normal Origin Grade gem is 40,000 to 60,000 soul coins, while this 【Death Gem】 is worth at least 450,000 to 500,000 soul coins. Its enhancement strength truly exceeds the scope of a normal Origin Grade gem.

This thing should be sold to Solomon and the Undead Girl with priority. Presumably, both sides would be willing to pay a high price to buy this thing. He could consider pricing it at 470,000 soul coins. Whichever side raises this amount of soul coins first, he would sell the gem to them.

Both Solomon and the Undead Girl have promoted to the Ninth Tier. With the strength of those two, it is still very possible to come up with this amount of soul coins. The poverty of the Undead system is not because they cannot get soul coins, but because the expenses for improving abilities and purchasing equipment are high.

There were two treasure chests left. Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest dropped by the God of Radiance and opened it. The next second, brilliant golden-white radiance surged out.

【You have opened the Origin Grade Treasure Chest · Radiance.】

【You obtained Blazing Light Spear (Origin Grade · Divine Weapon).】

【You obtained Soul Clone (Soul System/Light System · Skill Scroll).】

【You obtained Shining Heart Core (Bloodline/Profession Item).】

【You obtained Soul Clone · Light Meteor (Soul System/Light System · Skill Scroll).】

……

Not only did he open the God of Radiance's weapon, but even its heart core and two types of abilities were opened.

From these two abilities, one point can be seen: the God of Radiance was defeated by Su Xiao, and there is another very major reason. Sixty percent of this evil god's abilities are Light System, and the remaining forty percent are Soul System, and then it encountered Su Xiao, whose soul strength is nearly 700 points.

Light System abilities hitting Su Xiao could be said to be painful with every strike, and after hitting Su Xiao once with the "Soul Clone · Light Meteor" ability, the God of Radiance began to doubt.

Although the God of Radiance did not know that its Lv. 86 ability caused 'as much as' over 200 points of soul damage to Su Xiao, but hitting Su Xiao, Su Xiao did not even retreat half a step, and the God of Radiance realized the severity of the matter.

Actually, in this battle, the God of Radiance should not have been defeated so miserably. The reason is that its three abilities that could be judged as Ultimate Grade were not used.

The first Ultimate Grade ability is "Light Healing." After activating this ability, it restores 500% of the God of Radiance's health in the subsequent 60 seconds. And after fully activating this ability, this ability will enter the second stage, "Light Resurrection." After entering this stage, as long as the God of Radiance is not beheaded, it can resurrect once and quickly restore 50% of its maximum health.

However, this ability was restricted by Caesar. To be precise, it was Caesar, in the state of "Man and Jar as One," who had been suppressing this ability from a distance.

The God of Radiance's second Ultimate Grade ability is "Shining Radiance." This ability is to fly into the high sky and cause super-high continuous real Light System damage to enemies within a diameter of more than ten kilometers below.

However, World Thunder gathered in the sky of the Divine Domain, and the God of Radiance, flying into the high sky, was struck by lightning.

The God of Radiance's third Ultimate Grade ability is "Soul Judgment," using soul power to attach to the Blazing Light Spear. The next melee attack can behead enemies with health below 40% and soul strength below 600 points.

The result is obvious. After a combo, the God of Radiance finally gave Su Xiao a "Soul Judgment" spear, but the response was a straight kick.

There was one last treasure chest left, and the duration of the luck bonus was not much. Su Xiao took out the 【Abyss Treasure Chest】, which he obtained by killing the Undying Characteristic · Abyss Creature.

There is no doubt that this is the moment with the highest return rate for opening the Abyss Treasure Chest. But the problem is whether a new "Daddy Grade" object will be opened. Previously, the "Soul Crown" had already been opened. If another one is opened...

Pondering for a few seconds, Su Xiao felt that this possibility was minimal. Some Ninth Tier strong individuals never encounter a "Daddy Grade" object in their entire lives, let alone obtain one. And Su Xiao, starting from the Eighth Tier, has encountered two in succession, namely the Abyss Jar and the Necronomicon.

Later, he opened the "Soul Crown" from the Abyss Treasure Chest and went to the Soul Library, where three "Daddy Grade" objects were sealed.

According to the little elf Popoli of the Soul Library, from the ancient era to the present, Original Sin Objects, that is, "Daddy Grade" objects, are actually very rare, like the Abyss Jar and the Necronomicon. The possibility of Su Xiao encountering them again is minimal.

The promotion of such objects from "Quasi-Daddy Grade" to "Daddy Grade" is almost a natural barrier. Therefore, "Quasi-Daddy Grade" objects are actually not few, but "Daddy Grade" objects are very rare.

Su Xiao decided to open this Abyss Treasure Chest because worrying about opening a "Daddy Grade" object and therefore not opening the Abyss Treasure Chest is truly too much of a loss. If he is lucky, equipment of Origin Grade or above might also be opened. Opening such equipment, even if he cannot use it himself, selling it would provide the soul coins to improve "Basic Passive" abilities.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao opened the Abyss Treasure Chest. He did not believe that with his current luck, he would open a "Daddy Grade" object.

【You have opened the Abyss Treasure Chest.】

【You obtained Nether Bone Ring (Abyss · Original Sin Object).】
