Chapter 3920: Witness
The meat steak in the thick-bottomed pan sizzled, the fat rendered out, soaking into the fresh spices around the steak. A strange fragrance diffused, making people unable to help but secrete saliva, their eyes looking at the delicacies in the thick-bottomed pan.
Sinbad hummed a tune while busy in the kitchen. As a father of two, he naturally mastered a culinary skill he didn't easily reveal.
The reason he revealed it today was because among the few people present, Wood, who came from a big family, had no connection with cooking, and Yuyuna, who lived with her mom and dad, had a limit of cooking a barely perfect poached egg when boiling noodles. Su Xiao could cook, and he did it quite well, but Sinbad and Wood, who had been poisoned more than once, both refused to let Su Xiao get within three meters of the kitchen.
Yuyuna's IQ as a city lord secretary didn't need to be mentioned. Under Baha's teaching, she successfully mastered several card games in 15 minutes. Then Baha, Wood, Yuyuna, and Amu started playing cards. To maintain a harmonious atmosphere, of course, it wasn't real money for winning or losing, but whoever lost got a paper strip stuck on them.
After an hour, it became Amu and three white mops playing cards. Even Yuyuna, who had a gentle temper, was biting her neat little white teeth until they clicked.
"Why hurt yourself? Dinner is ready, let's eat."
Hearing Sinbad shout that it was time to eat, Amu stood up as soon as he put down his cards. Yuyuna was about to speak, but Wood lifted Amu's cards. After seeing the cards, Yuyuna's eyes widened a bit. She doubted life for a moment and decided that since things had reached this point, she should eat first.
It had to be said that Sinbad's cooking was of a high level, about three tiers away from being on the "Myriad Worlds Gourmet Guide." This was actually already very impressive, belonging to an amateur versus a professional. Everyone had their own specialty, and there was no absolutely perfect person.
After the meal, Yuyuna leaned back in her chair, letting out a long breath of satisfaction. She asked: "Bai Ye, your quest has been submitted successfully. Continuing to kidnap me doesn't seem to make much sense. Why don't you let me go?"
Hearing this, Baha laughed and replied: "Of course not, we haven't received the ransom yet."
"Ransom? What ransom?"
"The ransom your city lord paid."
"This... there wasn't this link in the previous two times."
"There is this time. Surprise, right?"
"But, you kidnapping me to blackmail Shairin-sama for ransom, this doesn't make sense."
Yuyuna was confused. She roughly knew what the rebirth-like change in this world was caused by. After all, she was the most trusted confidant of City Lord Shairin. So in Yuyuna's heart, Law-Breaker = Savior. How could such a person kidnap her and blackmail her boss for ransom?
"Let me analyze it for you," Baha cleared his throat and said: "We are of the evil faction, and we used to deal with Dusk City, the Gods Faction, and the Soul Academy, and our faction sequence styles are similar, right?"
"Uh~, seems right."
"Then let me ask you again, the Xiguang City you are in is a neutral and friendly faction, right?"
"That's for sure."
"So, we of the evil faction kidnapping you, an important NPC of the friendly faction, to blackmail your city lord for ransom, there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Uh~, seems, what you said is right."
Yuyuna smiled stiffly. She always felt something was wrong, but couldn't say what.
At this moment, Xiguang City, Central Building, large conference room.
City Lord Shairin, wearing a coat and a white t-shirt inside, sat in the main seat. On both sides of the seven or eight-meter-long conference table were the high-level officials of Xiguang City, and behind them stood several confidants. At this time, these Xiguang City high-level officials were all beaming.
"City Lord-sama, you called us here in such a hurry this time, what is the important matter? The work you arranged for me hasn't given me time to go home and sleep well for at least half a month, so you must keep it short."
A man with gold-rimmed glasses and combed-back hair spoke. He looked to be in his early 30s and had the mature and steady charm of a man of this age.
"It's like this, Yuyuna has been kidnapped by the Law-Breaker Bai Ye."
As soon as City Lord Shairin said this, the high-level officials in the conference room went quiet. A few seconds later, the laughter of the high-level officials rose one after another. They didn't expect that today's City Lord-sama was unexpectedly humorous. How could that be? The Law-Breaker who defeated the Sun God Clan and made the Old Days history, how could he do such a thing? Absolutely impossible.
At this moment, the high-level officials of Xiguang City seemed to believe in his Law-Breaker reputation more than Su Xiao himself.
However, when City Lord Shairin played a video, and in the video, Yuyuna had a cold, bloodthirsty battle axe resting on her neck, the smiles on the faces of all the high-level officials gradually disappeared. Some simply put on masks of pain. They had all seen the deeds of the ancient Law-Breakers of the Second Era and once thought that this was the Arcane Eternal Star smearing the Law-Breaker Faction. Now it seemed, it seemed, probably, maybe... not.
"Could it be that he wants to blackmail soul coins?"
An old man with a long beard said in a deep voice.
"That's not it. I proposed paying soul coins, but the Law-Breaker's magic eagle follower replied that the Law-Breaker Faction also has integrity and only exchanges things, not blackmailing money..."
Speaking of this, City Lord Shairin had already started to support her forehead with one hand. The expressions of the high-level officials in the conference room were wonderful, almost becoming a collection of emojis. One of the strong men rubbed his face with both hands and said angrily:
"What does this Law-Breaker want?"
"Sacred Gem."
"If you put it that way, it seems... it can't be considered blackmail, but this behavior is indeed."
The man with glasses rubbed his face with one hand, trying his best not to put on a mask of pain. The reason he said this was because this particularly ancient legendary gem was brought into this world by the old Law-Breakers of the First Era, who let the Sun God Clan seal this thing. Later, as the Sun Faction declined, by the Third Era, this secret treasure reached the hands of Xiguang City.
The reason Su Xiao knew Xiguang City had the 【Sacred Gem】 was that he heard it from Grin Gillian. Now he held the 【Soul-Eater Gem】, and the 【Will Gem (pending recovery state)】, so he didn't recommend holding another one.
There were eight strongest gems in the astral realm, which were: Abyss Gem, Elemental Gem, Sacred Gem, Soul Gem, Natural Gem, Death Gem, Will Gem, Soul-Eater Gem.
Daring to use two of these eight legendary gems at the same time would trigger a gem curse. The violence of this curse was something even Su Xiao couldn't handle.
Su Xiao was using the 【Soul Gem】. As for holding the 【Sacred Gem】, 【Will Gem】, and 【Soul-Eater Gem】 at the same time, logically there were risks, but as the owner of the "Book of Original Sin," the risks corresponding to holding the above three gems could be completely ignored.
Among the eight gems, the 【Soul Gem】 was the most special. Only by being 100% recognized by this gem could one be qualified to use it. In contrast, this gem didn't need development, it was in its best state from the beginning, and it was that the stronger the user, the stronger the soul-slashing effect the gem exerted.
The other seven gems needed to be recognized initially after being obtained, and then gradually developed to show their respective power. Among them, the Will Gem was the most difficult to develop, while the Abyss Gem, Sacred Gem, and Soul-Eater Gem were the most dangerous to develop.
Su Xiao holding these gems had a point that others couldn't compare with, which was his Law-Breaker luck, which had a huge amount of luck. This amount was so large that it could "adsorb" the abilities of those who had once possessed the strongest gems.
For example, the 【Soul-Eater Gem】 Su Xiao currently held. When he sold this gem to a fated person, after the other party died, according to common sense, the 【Soul-Eater Gem】 would have two results: obtained by the killer, or immediately returned to the original gem base, waiting for challengers to come here, take it from the gem base after going through dangerous places, and start a new round of causality.
The problem now was, after the holder of the 【Soul-Eater Gem】 died, this gem had a high probability of returning to Su Xiao. In the connection of causality, it wasn't the 【Soul-Eater Gem】 that chose Su Xiao, but it was forcibly pulled over.
Coupled with the fact that Su Xiao didn't want to monopolize these strongest gems, after he obtained these strongest gems, he would definitely sell them, and the price was constant at 500,000... no, 300,000 each. In this way, Su Xiao and the three strongest gems formed a mutually beneficial relationship.
If the fated person didn't have a hard enough life, they couldn't obtain one of the three strongest gems at the bargain price of 300,000 soul coins. In this way, Su Xiao would earn 300,000 soul coins, and the strongest gem sold would still come back. If he really met the fated person of these three legendary gems, for the three legendary gems, this was undoubtedly the best situation.
Except for the Abyss Gem and Elemental Gem, the remaining six strongest gems were willing to be passed from one user to another. For them, who had existed for unknown years, whether it was killing the self-righteous holder or fighting side-by-side with the fated person, it was a rare pleasure.
The reason why the Abyss Gem and Elemental Gem were exceptions was that they were too ancient and profound. They were too lazy to pay attention to the fated person, let alone pay attention to the self-righteous owner.
Su Xiao estimated that as long as they weren't the fated person of these strongest gems, they would be killed by the gem after holding it for one world. A very few could persist for two world progresses before being killed.
Balanced, after one world progress ended, buying gems alone could bring in 900,000 soul coins. This was a full 900,000 soul coins. Under normal circumstances, fighting in a high-tier dungeon for one world would only bring this much income. Now that these 900,000 soul coins were like picking them up, Su Xiao of course wouldn't refuse.
Regarding why the Law-Breaker Faction sealed the 【Sacred Gem】, the reason was that this gem would make the fated person too sacred, sacred to the point of becoming an absolute law. To give a grounded analogy, if a sacred person saw someone spitting on the ground, they might be sentenced to death.
The owner of a legendary gem had three stages: use, resonance, and assimilation. Don't think that the higher the use stage, the better. Among the three stages, "resonance" was the best stage for the user, which could exert 100% of the legendary gem's power without being affected by the gem. When reaching the assimilation stage, the consciousness attribute represented by the gem's attributes would significantly erode the user's consciousness tendency.
Either sacred, or hungry, or full of death, or longing to devour souls, etc.
It was interesting to say that the negative impact of the Soul Gem reaching the "assimilation" stage was useless to Su Xiao. As a human who could directly eat soul crystals, the Soul Gem had no desire to erode him. Therefore, Su Xiao holding the Soul Gem would never reach the "assimilation" stage.
Why didn't Su Xiao prepare to seal the 【Sacred Gem】? Judging by the style of the high-tier contractors of Reincarnation Paradise, even if they were eroded by the 【Sacred Gem】, it didn't seem to be a bad thing. Maybe they would turn over a new leaf.
Dusk City original site, the current wild ruins, near the east swamp.
This place had become a paradise for animals and plants. Due to the excessive life nourishment of the newly born sun, the plants here were exceptionally lush. Su Xiao sat on a branch of a big tree. He had a feeling that Xiguang City, which was favored by major factions, might not necessarily become the strongest faction in this world in the future. Conversely, the plants that were ignored by people were likely to rise in recent years.
The final situation was that major factions fought to the death for the position of boss. When the plant faction rose, a group of human factions could only stare, watching the plant faction grow.
Water liquid spread, forming a figure—a handsome man with a gentle aura. He must have had over 700 points of real Charisma attribute. However, Su Xiao, with -27 points of Charisma attribute, was immune to all negotiation bonuses derived from the Charisma system.
This made the water-type man, who was calm and smiling at the beginning, be stared at by Su Xiao with a blank expression, and finally sweating coldly, until his smile became forced. Anyone who constantly felt that they would be beheaded at any time would have huge mental pressure.
This is like negotiating with the man opposite while lying on a guillotine; the man appears expressionless, yet he holds the guillotine's release rope in his hand, and behind him looms a vague, massive blood beast that seems to be baring its fangs in a cruel grin. For anyone facing such a sensory image, the mental pressure would be pushed to the limit.
The water-type man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and took out an exquisite wooden box. Just as he threw it out, the wooden box suddenly changed its flight direction, as if grabbed by something, and came towards Su Xiao. As it landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, Baha appeared and opened the wooden box, asking:
"Boss, is the gem correct?"
Hearing the magic eagle say this, the water-type man became even more nervous. He clearly sensed that if the terrifying man said it was wrong, the magic eagle would immediately fly over and pierce its eagle claws into his head at a speed he couldn't react to.
"..."
Su Xiao raised his hand, Baha's eagle claws grabbed the 【Sacred Gem】 and placed it in his hand. He held the 【Sacred Gem】 with his index finger and thumb. Through the reflection of the 【Sacred Gem】, he saw the serious and heavy expression of the water-type man. It was indeed the result caused by the 【Sacred Gem】.
"Item received."
Baha opened the interdimensional space, and Yuyuna walked out of the interdimensional space channel. Seeing the water-type man, she looked suspicious. Before, this was the rival of the hostile faction in Xiguang City. Xiguang City was not dominated by the City Lord alone. Now it seemed that this hostile faction had been forced to surrender to the City Lord's command.
Yuyuna just walked a few steps when Baha suddenly said: "Wait."
"!"
Yuyuna wasn't afraid, but she was definitely nervous inside.
"Leave a souvenir."
Baha on Su Xiao's shoulder threw out an orange sack. Seeing this thing, Yuyuna's neat little white teeth clicked. These guys were the ones who kidnapped her three times with this thing.
"You guys..."
Before Yuyuna finished speaking, she suddenly discovered that the one person, one dog, and one magic eagle that were behind her had disappeared. Not only that, all the plants in the entire large swamp area faced this side. The treetops bent, and the grass and trees shifted. Looking down from the sky, the entire wild ruins turned into a vortex composed of plants. The awakened intelligent plants seemed to know that the Law-Breaker who killed the Old Days had left this world.
【Teleportation complete, you have returned to Reincarnation Paradise.】
The feeling of teleportation subsided. Su Xiao sat leaning on a single sofa, his whole person relaxed. This level of relaxation had never been felt since he entered the Sun Star.
Activating the recovery function, Su Xiao didn't intend to use the deep recovery permission immediately, but to treat the injuries on his left arm and other parts first, and then perform deep treatment, so that the recovery would be more comprehensive.
The life-support device was taken out. Su Xiao's crystal left arm shattered, and the original arm moved over. First, the bones were restored, followed by the muscles, nervous system, etc. Besides, the severe burns caused during the battle with the Sun King also began to recover, and the dead skin gradually faded.
Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny's injuries began to recover. However, while recovering from injuries, Benny pretended that nothing had happened. Although this injury was brave, she felt a bit ashamed. Her output for the whole battle was just a "meow," and then she was blasted away by the enemy's aura and hit the wall.
"Meow."
Benny jumped into Su Xiao's arms and curled into a ball. That should have been half a year ago. Xiang Bubu Wang saw Benny do this and tried to imitate it, but with his size, it wasn't jumping into Su Xiao's arms, but sitting and smashing onto Su Xiao. After receiving a pair of his "favorite" big slippers, he never dared to jump and smash like that again.
【You have mail from the Void.】
Su Xiao opened the contact list, found the mail column, and saw the signature was Grin Gillian, with "sent by a friend" marked behind it. The content of the mail was blank, and the attachment was an item. After choosing to receive it, a hint appeared.
【You have obtained World Pointer.】
【World Pointer】
Origin: Void, Sky Island, Seventh Production Workshop.
Quality: World-tier.
Category: Special.
Durability: 89/100 points.
Equipment Requirement: Sense of direction that can distinguish east, west, north, and south.
Equipment Effect: Fog-Clearing Map (Core Passive), when you enter a world, this pointer will obtain the complete map of the world through the notarization permission branch of the Paradise Faction/Void Tree. But because of the notarization reason, this map will not be displayed directly to you. The map you can view will be shrouded in black fog, and your movement trajectory will carry a fog-clearing effect.
Hint: When a world progress ends and you leave this world, you will obtain corresponding insight improvement according to the fog-clearing range.
Insight Effect: Higher probability of sensing surrounding secret treasures, and when identifying secret treasures, equipment, and gems, there are insight prerequisites.
Introduction: Wonderful journey.
Rating: 4872 points (World-tier equipment rating is 10–6000 points).
Selling Price: Cannot be sold after wearing.
It seemed Grin Gillian remembered that she had emphasized many times that she left Su Xiao a particularly interesting and useful treasure. Finally, she didn't leave an address, so she simply let the friend who was temporarily keeping 【World Pointer】 send 【World Pointer】 to Su Xiao.
This thing was highly compatible with Benny. After giving it to Benny, Su Xiao took out an equipment named 【Greed Orb】 from the storage space.
【Greed Orb】
Origin: Dark Continent.
Equipment Effect: Omen of Greed (Passive), when carried, or equipped in a special accessory slot, if there is a secret treasure within 100 meters, this item will release a unique fluctuation and release the radiance of the secret treasure, drifting towards the location of the secret treasure.
Equipment Debuff: Greed Misfortune (Passive), when carried, or equipped in a special accessory slot, it will significantly reduce one's luck (because your luck lower limit is too low, this debuff is invalid for you).
Introduction: Those who are greedy for secret treasures are always unlucky occasionally. Of course, if you are already unlucky enough, then this orb can do nothing to you.
He obtained this item in the Eternal Light World. When he first obtained it, it was effective several times. Later, he didn't know what went wrong, and it never worked again. Not only that, the surface of this orb also cracked a bit.
Su Xiao felt that he had to find an opportunity to sell this thing. Otherwise, not only was it useless to carry it, but he didn't know when this thing would explode with a bang, following in the footsteps of 【King of Hunter】, 【Glory of Dragon Hunter】, and 【Inscription Pedestal: God Sacrifice】.
【Hint: For this recovery, you paid a total of 38,620 soul coins.】
The recovery cost continued to climb. However, looking at the existing soul coins, Su Xiao felt at ease.
【World reward settlement begins.】
Native World: Sun Star.
World Difficulty: Lv. 70–Lv.???
World Source: 238.18%.
Number of completed quests: 12 (this world quest bonus judgment, maximum 12, not that the Hunter only completed 12 quests this time).
Comprehensive Evaluation: S+
Start collecting World Source...
World Source collection complete, start counting rewards.
Rewards obtained: 100 real attribute points (maximum acquisition amount of a single world for Absolute-tier brand), Origin Stone ×30 (this is ordinary Origin Stone), Golden Resin 82 grams.
Hint: Real Power: Plunder has been activated, you will obtain 1–3 Golden Skill Points.
Hint: You have obtained 3 Golden Skill Points (determined by comprehensive evaluation).

Hint: Your brand level has reached Lv. 95 (this is the highest level an Absolute-tier can reach).
Hint: Your extra permission +Lv. 6.5.
Settlement complete, rewards have been deposited into the Hunter brand.
This was the time Su Xiao obtained the most real attribute points. But thinking about it, it was normal. Aberrant beast gods, Tower Knight Captain, Nun, Avatar of Gods, Sun Monarch Ashlot, Sun King—recalling these powerful enemies one by one, he felt that he was going to die on the Sun Star this time. It was not surprising to have this harvest of World Source after defeating these powerful enemies.
Coupled with the clearing in the Land of God Exile at the beginning, don't forget that the gods also had a glorious time on the Sun Star. Even if they aberrated later, the World Source obtained after killing them was not low.
Besides, the 【Golden Resin】 obtained this time was a good thing. About 100 grams of Golden Resin could seal a nine-star title. Although not all nine-star titles could be sealed.
This thing wasn't used for sealing and selling. Its greater value was used for acquiring titles. For example, Su Xiao's current meditation title was the six-star title 【Natural Resonance】. If he wanted to buy a nine-star meditation title suitable for himself, he could leave various requirements for the title on the stall in the large gathering place, and add a sentence that 【Golden Resin】 was ready. Soon someone would contact him to sell the title.
The large gathering place was open to high-tier contractors of the six major paradises. In this way, the probability of buying a suitable title soared. The only obstacle to title trading was that 96% of titles were in an initially untradable state.
Su Xiao took out the 【Reincarnation Treatment Badge (permission item)】 and chose to use it. The next second, he, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, Benny, etc., all gradually floated up. This deep recovery was actually a team characteristic.
Invisible energy particles appeared in the surroundings and were absorbed by the body. After flowing through the whole body with the blood, the deepest recovery began. After Su Xiao gradually landed, he sat leaning on the single sofa and enjoyed the deep recovery. Because he was completely relaxed, he soon fell asleep.
When Su Xiao woke up, more than 5 hours had passed. He got up from the sofa. Saying that his whole person was like taking off an iron coat was an exaggeration, but he did feel relaxed all over. Not only that, the "souvenirs" left by the Abyss Archbishop had disappeared, and all kinds of hidden injuries had recovered, especially the soul burned by the sun when fighting to the death with the Sun King. This was the most difficult to recover, but now it had recovered as before.
【Hint: Shadow of the Abyss has completed this upgrade.】
【Shadow of the Abyss】
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: ★★★★★★★★★
Extreme Burning: Five times (Ultimate).
Category: Title, Highest Rarity.
Title Effect 1: Raging Shadow (Passive), when fighting extinction-level existences and abyss-type enemies, will cause an additional 50% real damage.
Title Effect 2: Shadow (Passive), every point of your abyss resistance will increase 1% of body speed and 5000 points of health.
Current body speed increase: 93%.
Current health increase: 465,000 points.
Title Effect 3: Abyss Walking (Core Passive), after entering the abyss, you will not be eroded by the environment.
Introduction: As the raging shadow in the abyss, are you really ready?
Price: Cannot be sold.
【Detected that this title has been upgraded to the highest tier, you have achieved the achievement quest: Strongest Title Creator.】
【You have obtained new permission: Title Reforging!】
【When you activate the title burning disc notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, you can activate this ability. After activating this ability, you need to place the title to be reforged in the burning slot to perform a reforge. After the reforge is successful, the title will be upgraded to One-Star??? Potential (title potential will be determined by your luck amount).】
【Because you have obtained Title Reforging permission, you can already view the potential degree of existing titles.】
Su Xiao opened the title column. Sure enough, now the potential value appeared behind all titles. Among them, 【Shadow of the Abyss】 and 【War Lord】 had a potential value of 100%. The former had its potential maxed out on the spot after transforming from 【Deep Blue Shadow】 to 【Shadow of the Abyss】, and the latter was the representative summoning title of the Demon Insect Clan, so its potential was also maxed out.
Besides, in Su Xiao's title list, no title's "title potential" exceeded 75%, which were:
1. God Hunter, Nine-Star, Extreme Burning 1 time (71.6%).
2. Old Hunter, Nine-Star (70.2%).
3. Miracle Maker, Nine-Star (62.7%).
4. Sky-Plundering Shocking Wave, Eight-Star (54.8%).
5. Blood Intent, Seven-Star (42.8%).
6. Natural Resonance, Six-Star (22.5%).
Special Titles: Violator (0%), Immortal Luck (0%), Hunter (0%), Indomitable (0%), Upgrade Master (0%).
Hint: Special titles have no title star level and cannot be upgraded through the title burning disc, being in a constant state.
Among these titles, Su Xiao hadn't used 【Blood Intent】 for a long time. The reason was that the Devouring Core, which was now at full level, left no room for this title to play. The so-called extra improvement of blood quality wasn't obtained out of thin air, but was a further buff to blood energy on the premise of purification and refining. Alas, Su Xiao had already developed the Devouring Core to the limit in this regard.
Su Xiao decided to use the 【Blood Intent】 title to try the "Title Reforging" permission. After completing "Title Reforging," what potential the title would have after being hammered back to one-star wasn't determined by luck. Regarding this point, he felt both satisfied and at ease. It was a judgment unit called luck amount, which determined the potential of the title after "Title Reforging" was successful.
As Su Xiao activated "Title Reforging," the Title Smelting Disk, which had originally been standing in front of him, was now suspended horizontally, about 1.2 meters above the ground. When it was floating upright in front of him, he hadn't realized just how large the Title Smelting Disk was.
He placed the 【Blood Intent】 title at the center of the smelting disk. The groove originally intended for the main title was much shallower than before, just a slight depression, enough to keep 【Blood Intent】 from moving.
Su Xiao chose to begin "Title Reforging." Gravel made of the same material as the smelting disk appeared; these dark brown stones were covered in magma patterns and gathered together to form an absurdly large forging hammer. The reason it was absurdly large was that the hammerhead was many times larger than the smelting disk. Not only that, but the remaining magma gravel composing the hammer gathered beneath the smelting disk to form a base, giving this forging process even more power.
Boom!
The process of "Title Reforging" was fast and brutal to the extreme. With one strike of the forging hammer, 【Blood Intent】 exploded on the spot. At this moment, Su Xiao fully understood "Title Reforging" and what the "Luck Volume" that directly influenced the title's potential value after a successful reforge was. This was just an abbreviation; the full term was "Luck and Causality Volume."
To put it more bluntly, "Title Reforging" meant that the greater Su Xiao's luck and causality volume, the more material from the smelting disk he would summon during the process. The more material, the larger the "Reforging Hammer" constructed, and the more effective this reforge would be. It belonged to the type where, with one "Reforging Hammer" strike, nothing but the essence of the title remained.
As a Hunter, Law-Extinguisher, Dead Silence White King, and holder of the Original Sin Book + sealer of six Original Sin items, the magnitude of the "Reforging Hammer" corresponding to Su Xiao's luck and causality volume meant his "Title Reforging" would only have two results.
1. One hammer strike smashes the title on the smelting disk into dust.
2. One hammer strike turns the title on the smelting disk into a 1-star, 100% potential title.
Aside from these two results, there was a 99.99% probability that a third result would not occur for Su Xiao's "Title Reforging." The remaining 0.01% did not exclude the protection mechanism notarized under his 75,920 points of Reincarnation Paradise reputation.
Yet, what made one fall into silence was that this remaining 0.01% protection mechanism operated on a luck check. During luck checks, Su Xiao had used a 99% probability as a 0.99% chance before. As for this 0.01%, one could only say that having it is better than not having it; at least it provided a visual sense of success.
【Prompt: You have received earnings from the Eternal Light World's Demon Zerg.】
【You have received Abyss Weapon Fragments ×6.】
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao looked puzzled. After checking the related branch prompts, he understood what was going on. First, this matter had to be attributed to the characteristics of the Eternal Light World; this place was a cage for World-Extinguishing-level organisms and Abyss creatures. In the Void and Myriad Worlds, a very small number of families had inheritance ability systems specifically designed to seal Abyss creatures into the Eternal Light World.
Previously, the Eternal Light World had World-Extinguishing-level existences like the Four Giants. After World-Extinguishing-level creatures were sent there, they were basically all devoured by them. Now that the Demon Zerg were in the Eternal Light World, the situation for those World-Extinguishing-level and Abyss creatures banished there was even worse.
In the past, when playing against the Four Giants, there was still a tiny chance to find a place in the Eternal Light World to hide, but facing Jila, there was truly nowhere to escape.
Jila wiping out these banished World-Extinguishing-level or Abyss creatures in the Eternal Light World was, of course, not counted as Su Xiao's kills, even though Jila was his permanent summon. However, these kills were notarized by the Tree of Void.
To a certain extent, Jila, who had become an "Ultimate Enhanced Version of the Daughter of the World" in the Eternal Light World, was both Su Xiao's permanent summon and not. It wasn't that Su Xiao lacked the qualifications; it was that the Demon Zerg controlled by Jila were too strong, strong enough to exceed the notarization category of a summon.
It wasn't that the corresponding notarization couldn't be patched, but there was no need to consume massive amounts of Space-Time Power for it. Under such circumstances, the corresponding judgment appeared.
Jila, being outside the Eternal Light World, was 100% judged as a permanent summon. Jila, being inside the Eternal Light World, was both a summon and not entirely one; instead, she became a small-account contractor under Su Xiao's Reincarnation Brand branch. Even if this branch notarization had no judgment, it was, after all, notarized.
Since the notarization appeared, there should be at least minimal kill earnings. However, Jila had neither a separate Paradise Brand nor a corresponding comprehensive judgment. A more compromise-based method was derived: the Eternal Light World's World Shop.
When the Zerg under Jila killed those World-Extinguishing-level or Abyss creatures banished from who knows where, Jila would obtain a type of World Coin that could only be spent in this World Shop. Also, the items in this World Shop were temporarily very singular; at the current stage, there were only 【Abyss Weapon Fragments】.
These situations combined were the reason Su Xiao received the prompt just now. For others, 【Abyss Weapon Fragments】 could be exchanged for Abyss weapons, but for Su Xiao, who could not use Abyss weapons, he preferred to use his unique Law-Extinguisher authority to exchange them for "Magic Spirit Energy."
【Detected that you are a Law-Extinguisher of Shadow, unable to hold "Abyss Weapons."】
【Related balance mechanism activated.】
【Drafting complete. Since you cannot hold "Abyss Weapons," you can obtain an equivalent value of "Magic Spirit Energy" by submitting "Abyss Weapons" or "Abyss Weapon Fragments" to Reincarnation Paradise.】
【You have obtained 61.9% Magic Spirit Energy.】
Counting the 24% saved previously, the total was 85.9%, not enough to make a full portion. Fortunately, Su Xiao had stored a portion of 【Magic Spirit Essence】 in his exclusive room. Because his soul strength hadn't been high enough before, he had always had to control the improvement of the Blade of Magic Spirit. Plus, the characteristics of 【Magic Spirit Essence】 were very unstable, so he had kept it in his exclusive room, which was definitely foolproof.
Now that he didn't have to worry about soul strength, he crushed the 【Magic Spirit Essence】 sealing bottle in his hand.
First, the Blade of Magic Spirit absorbed this 【Magic Spirit Essence】. Once the conversion was complete, Su Xiao took 50% of it and used this bonus energy to improve himself.
【Your Abyss Resistance has permanently increased by 1 point.】
【Your potential upper limit tier for all attributes has permanently +1.】
【Your Blade of Magic Spirit · Magic Spirit Strength has permanently increased by 30 points.】
Su Xiao had just closed the prompt when a new one appeared.
【Prompt: The SSS-level Adventure Group's shared ability has been triggered. Each time a world settlement occurs, corresponding team skill points will be obtained based on the leader's comprehensive evaluation.】
【This comprehensive evaluation is S+, you should have obtained 40 team skill points (unable to obtain).】
【Team Skill, Hunting Group (Passive Lv. EX): During world settlement, you can increase your own body attributes by 1–5 points (randomly increased among the seven attributes of Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Stamina, Charisma, Luck, and Willpower).】
【The beneficiaries of this skill are: The Hunter himself, Bubutney, Amu, Baha, and Benny.】
The lottery session began. Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny all gathered around. Baha and Benny were already about to laugh but held it in. Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, however, had a serious expression because during their last stay in Reincarnation Paradise, when Benny was buying luxury fur-care products, she had won a pair of size 158 small Giant-race slippers in a lottery, and they were made of wear-resistant, highly resilient artificial premium silicone material.
Such a handy pair of large slippers made one wonder if this thing was really won in a lottery. Which manufacturer would use this PNM-5 grade artificial premium silicone material to make slippers, and coincidentally make them for small Giants? And, this thing was a lottery prize~
Clearly, Miss Benny was saying, "Stupid dog, if you dare to bully this meow again, next time you'll win a titanium alloy small Giant slipper."
【Your Charisma attribute +1 point.】
【Your Charisma attribute +4 points.】
Very good, his luck was normal. After subsequently using "Fate Dominator," this treasure chest opening would likely yield a supreme treasure, especially since the current "Fate Dominator" had:
"Extreme Luck (Core · Passive), when opening chest-type items, there is a 15% probability of obtaining 'Maximum Magnitude Earnings' (In ordinary circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to trigger this earnings level; it can only be triggered when the naked Charisma attribute is higher than 300 points and the basic Luck-type ability reaches Lv. 85 or higher, or with extremely special luck-type equipment. When this earnings level is triggered, there will be an intense flashing phenomenon lasting 3 seconds or more after the chest is opened)."
【Prompt: All your Adventure Group skills have reached Lv. EX. Your obtained team skill points will be converted into Team Authority Cards.】
【Team skill points are being converted; you have obtained Team Authority Cards ×40.】
【Team Authority Card: When the Adventure Group leader uses this card, it can increase the level of a designated Adventure Group skill by 1. To upgrade a "Rare · Team Skill," it requires consuming 3 "Team Authority Cards" at once.】
The 27 "Team Authority Cards" obtained last time were sold by Benny in the Trading Street for 121,500 Soul Coins, which was 4,500 Soul Coins per card. For high-tier adventure groups, this price was not high.
One must know that although Su Xiao's "Dawn Adventure Group" was a single-person adventure group, as an SSS-level (highest level adventure group), the "Team Authority Cards" derived from his adventure group could also be used normally by large multi-person adventure groups. Moreover, after use, there were certain implicit benefits; after all, these were "Team Authority Cards" derived from the earnings of an S+ ultra-high-tier world evaluation.
"Team Authority Cards" indeed had no quality distinction, but there were color differences. Ordinary ones were white, better ones were purple, and top-tier ones were gold. The "Team Authority Cards" derived from Su Xiao's adventure group were so intensely gold that they had already taken on a dark gold feel.
Looking at these "Team Authority Cards" in his storage space, Su Xiao thought of his old friend, God Emperor. The God Emperor Adventure Group was developing quite well, but compared to the "Ram Chamber of Commerce" under the God Emperor Adventure Group, the God Emperor Adventure Group itself was a mixed bag.
However, the core members of the God Emperor Adventure Group all understood one thing: while it was true that the Chamber of Commerce made money quickly, when disaster struck, it was still one's own strength that was reliable. Soul Coins were indeed omnipotent, but after danger arrived, Soul Coins not only couldn't solve the death that was right before their eyes, but they would also make the greed in the enemy's heart even stronger.
Even now, the basic cognition of eighth or ninth-tier contractors was basically, "Holy crap, the 'Ram Chamber of Commerce' is actually a branch subordinate of the God Emperor Adventure Group?"
Calculating the time, it had been a long time since he traded with the God Emperor Adventure Group. Presumably, they had abundant funds over there, and he could enjoy shearing them... *cough*... he could have a transaction full of sincerity.
However, before that, Su Xiao had an even more important matter. After going out, he headed straight for the Attribute Enhancement Hall. More than 30 minutes later, the warehouse door behind him closed.
【Welcome to use Attribute Enhancement Warehouse No. 1806.】
【Currently available Real Attribute Points: 100 points.】
Su Xiao didn't start the attribute enhancement warehouse yet. He sat cross-legged on the ground and took out the 【God Race Holy Emblem · Soul】. With a snap, this holy emblem turned into a sun-like golden energy and merged into his chest.
Like the scorching heat of the sun, it spread from his chest to his surroundings. Every cell in his body was in excruciating pain because of it. Fortunately, his body attributes were also climbing continuously. As a Law-Extinguisher who had mastered various core Law-Extinguisher abilities, Su Xiao, of course, didn't faint from this kind of pain, but instead felt his physique growing stronger rapidly.
The data for 【God Race Holy Emblem · Soul】 was that for the next 5 natural days, the body would be significantly nourished. In fact, this improvement was phased. At first, it improved Real Strength, Real Agility, Real Stamina, and Real Intelligence. The next stage was Health, then Mana, and finally Soul Strength.
Therefore, in just a few hours, Su Xiao's Real Strength, Real Agility, Real Stamina, and Real Intelligence had each completed an improvement of 50 points. Regrettably, this improvement failed to trigger the "Perfect Physique" effect, similar to the situation when using "Strength Essence" for improvement.
Su Xiao checked his own attributes. A moment later, his method of allocating attribute points was: Strength +15 points, Agility +15 points, Intelligence +15 points. He still had 55 Real Attribute Points left. Before advancing to the Supreme level, he wouldn't be able to use these Real Attribute Points for the time being. After the allocation was complete, he activated the attribute enhancement warehouse he was in.
Two hours later, Su Xiao, with a slight heat radiating from his body surface, let out a long breath of turbid air. Surging power flowed within his body. When the improvement was complete, he checked his personal profile.
Health: 100% (Improving).
Mana: 152,469 points (Improving).
Strength: 800 points.
Agility: 800 points.
Stamina: 800 points.
Intelligence: 800 points.
Charisma: -28 points.
