Introduction: You are "Chosen," but not the only one.

Selling price: Cannot be sold, cannot be traded, cannot be transferred, will definitely drop after death. If the person who kills you is not qualified to possess Origin Stone · World, this Origin Stone will shatter into five pieces.

……

Su Xiao's previous estimation was wrong. The durability upper limit of 【Origin Stone · World】 was not 15000 points, but reached a shocking 18000 points. Thinking about it this way, perhaps there were other Origin Stones that could reach 15000 points of durability.

One thing could be determined: 【Origin Stone · World】 was an absolute peak Origin Stone. It was in a separate tier by itself, and below it, there were several powerful Origin Stones, although they were far inferior to it, they could not be underestimated.

As an Origin Stone, improving "Meditation Ability" was a basic characteristic. The problem was that the basic improvement of 【Origin Stone · World】 was too outrageous. It improved the meditation growth speed according to a percentage, while other Origin Stones were "small," "medium," or "large" improvements. Powerful Origin Stones were at most "super large" improvements to meditation growth speed.

Su Xiao's current meditation ability level was:

"Heart Meditation (Passive Skill) Lv. 99: 15.75 million / 63 million points of heart thought value."

The so-called "heart thought value" was the unique characteristic of the meditation ability reaching an ultra-high tier, and as a sword technique grandmaster. The so-called "one thought can slash all things," technique abilities reached the late stage, although they didn't trigger intense extraordinary power like other systems, they defeated all things in the world with their own bodies.

Because power came from one's own body, combat seemed plain and unadorned, unlike other systems that were magnificent and gorgeous. Of course, if a technique type accidentally slashed a world, it was said that the technique type's power came from one's own body. As a weak human race, occasional mistakes, I think other systems could understand. If they didn't understand, technique types were generally good at fists and feet.

Now the "Heart Meditation" ability, if he meditated once a day, it would rise one level every 10 days, and there were 11 levels left to reach the full level, which meant it would take another 110 days, which was quite good.

Besides this, in the attributes of 【Origin Stone · World】, Su Xiao finally became a true "Chosen" from "obtaining qualification." Although he had no inner change about this, this "Chosen" was a real improvement, such as increasing the luck upper limit by 50,000 points.

Su Xiao weighed it, and suddenly felt that this luck upper limit +50000 points seemed... more disadvantages than advantages. First of all, his luck upper limit was 150,000 points now. By analogy, his usual luck was 100,000?

Don't joke. If there was no 【Fate Master】 equipment, Su Xiao would want to sell the treasure chests he obtained when opening them, because he was so unlucky. That was to say, only in the half hour after 【Fate Master】 was activated could he obtain many good things in treasure chest opening.

That is to say, this so-called luck upper limit and luck were two different things. No matter how big the bucket was, there had to be water in it. And the reason why his luck upper limit was 100,000 points, he didn't need to think to know that it was definitely the "luck electrocardiogram" caused by Law-Breaking luck.

The previous Law-Breaking luck, the lowest luck was -43000. Now it seemed that he guessed right just now. Ascending to Supreme was too important an ascension, causing Law-Breaking luck to also ascend with him?

No, not ascension. How could Law-Breaking luck ascend because one person ascended to Supreme, even if it was an ultra-limit specification Supreme Ascension? This luck represented the entire Law-Breaking Faction.

Su Xiao thought of another possibility, which was that before he ascended to Supreme, he could withstand at most -43000 of Law-Breaking luck. In fact, there was more Law-Breaking luck, but he couldn't withstand it yet, and there were no other Law-Breakers, so those Law-Breaking lucks were accumulated in unknown

Now that he had ascended to the Supreme level, he finally had the qualifications to bear more Law-Extinguishing luck. Therefore, as soon as his promotion succeeded, his Law-Extinguishing luck was immediately filled to the brim, reaching a capacity of -100,000.

The problem was that this -100,000 volume of luck was not his entire Law-Extinguishing luck reserve. As luck would have it, 【Origin Stone · World】 also increased Su Xiao's luck cap by 50,000 points.

According to the "Luck Relativity" of the "Luck ECG," the lowest point of luck is the same as the highest point; conversely, the cap of the highest point also affects the lowest point.

In this way, Su Xiao's lower limit of luck was successfully raised to -150,000. Such a situation would inevitably trigger the Law-Extinguishing luck. The Law-Extinguishing luck took one look and thought, "Aha, this kid still has capacity, and he's the only seedling of the Law-Extinguishing lineage, so I must fill him up."

The good news is that Law-Extinguishing luck will not make Su Xiao unlucky in life, combat, or ability mastery; it is only rock-solid when it comes to acquisition probabilities. For example, a 99.99% success rate might become a 9.999% success rate for Su Xiao.

However, there are benefits to having this volume of luck. For instance, if the Arcane Eternal Star wanted to play dirty with Su Xiao on the levels of luck and causality, it would be impossible. The Causality faction runs away extremely fast after seeing Su Xiao.

Su Xiao sensed himself. Although ascending to the Supreme level did not result in an explosive increase in all attributes, it opened up his upper limit. The feeling of a vast sky and sea, with the infinite possibility of becoming stronger ahead, was exceptionally intense.

【Prompt: You have obtained the entire legacy of the Ancient Dragon/Sun faction and successfully triggered the Ancient Dragon faction mission, Dark Redemption.】

【Hidden Mission · Dark Redemption】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 98.

Mission Brief: Rescue the White Dragon Girl who was abducted by the darkness and ensure she leaves the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias" alive.

Prompt: The White Dragon Girl has currently activated the Ancient Dragon faction's strongest freezing ability, "Winter's Embrace," which can seal her in ice. It is estimated she can withstand the dark erosion for 30 to 32 natural days.

Mission Deadline: 30 natural days.

Mission Reward: Source Blood of the Gods (World-class item).

Mission Penalty: All attributes permanently -50%, Health permanently -50%, all ability levels -50%.

……

The brutality of this mission penalty is no different from forced execution. Come to think of it, obtaining a secret treasure legacy of this scale, with the corresponding requirement being only to rescue the White Dragon Girl swallowed by darkness, is already a very small price to pay.

As for which faction abducted the White Dragon Girl, Su Xiao already had a clue. First, this former base of the Ancient Dragons, "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias," can be divided into two parts: the cold area above and the abyss darkness spreading area below.

Because of the ancient dragon frost remaining in the sky, the abyss darkness did not completely erode this world. However, looking at the current situation, in a few years at most, the darkness will occupy the entire "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias."

Whoever abducted the White Dragon Girl must be something from the darkness. Su Xiao had previously seen in the records of the Great Library that the "Dukain Clan," one of the five great abyss lineages, was in the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias." Now, seeing the darkness spreading here, this statement is confirmed.

One must know that "Dukain" in the Abyss language means "Darkness Descends/Dominates."

If he were facing the "Azguk," "Rune," or "Bronze" factions, the current Su Xiao would have no chance of winning, but if it is the "Dukain," there is still some hope.

First of all, there are not only five great families of "Abyss Lineages." The reason these five are specifically mentioned is that they have the greatest enmity with the Law-Extinguishing faction. Other abyss lineages are also somewhat hostile to the Law-Extinguishing faction, but they are in a state of "you don't provoke me, and I don't provoke you."

The reason for saying there is some chance of winning against the "Dukain Clan" is that this was once one of the strongest tiers of abyss lineages. Because of this, they were targeted by the previous generation of Law-Extinguishers throughout the last epoch. Being able to exist until now already proves their strength, but they were targeted too severely, causing their comprehensive combat power to drop significantly. At the very least, there aren't several Supreme Peaks from the beginning of the First Epoch within the clan.

That's right, an abyss lineage could have several Supreme Peaks; this is absurd. However, when counting Supreme Peaks, abyss lineages are generally not included because these super old immortals don't even know which epoch they survived from, and they have their own restrictions—for example, some cannot leave the vicinity of the abyss, and some cannot leave the deep sea.

Since the target is locked onto the "Dukain Clan," one must consider why they want to capture the White Dragon Girl and what the corresponding risks are.

After pondering for a while, Su Xiao estimated that the "Dukain Clan" might be plotting to seize this world. This is the base of the Ancient Dragons, and even though two epochs have passed, it must have its special features. Just looking at the black fog in the sky that has resisted the dark erosion for many years confirms this.

The "Dukain Clan" must have had their eyes on the White Dragon Girl for a long time. It's just that, hindered by the "Forbidden Tower" closely connected to this world, the "Dukain Clan," which intends to transform this place into their base and recreate their former glory, certainly wouldn't violently attack the "Forbidden Tower," so they could only slowly erode it.

Su Xiao was currently in the treasury of the Ancient Dragon faction. He looked around; sure enough, black spots had already appeared on the metal walls inside the treasury, and black drips had appeared in some places. It seems the "Dukain Clan" is not far from success.

Looking at it this way, it is no longer just a matter of rescuing the White Dragon Girl. Heaven knows how many years the "Dukain Clan" has been gently and slowly eroding this place, finally reaching the time to open the treasure. Good fellow, a mortal enemy, a Law-Extinguisher, suddenly arrived, opened the treasury with a key, and took away everything inside without leaving even a scrap.

This is a typical case of adding hatred to hatred. Su Xiao estimated that if he went to other mission worlds now, the "Dukain Clan" might even send clansmen specifically to hunt him down. Abyss lineages have never had good tempers; they fought with the Law-Extinguishing faction for an epoch, and neither side ever subdued the other.

The reason the Moon Wolf clan has such friendship with the Law-Extinguishing faction is that the Moon Wolf clan in its glorious period was tricked by the abyss lineages.

Some scholars believe that the ancestors of the Silver Moon Wolves came from the Blazing Sun Star · Kiliad, and the entire Silver Moon Wolf clan became Abyss Watchers very likely because their initial silver moon located in Kiliad was infected by the power of the abyss and mutated into a blood moon.

Why would a perfectly fine initial silver moon be infected by the power of the abyss? And that was the base of the Sun faction · Kiliad. The sun and the moon were never enemies; they were more like companions.

In this, it was the abyss lineages that infected the initial silver moon, and the decline of the Sun lineages many years later also had a direct relationship with the initial silver moon being eroded, leaving only the blazing sun.

The more he speculated, the more Su Xiao felt the scent of a conspiracy—a conspiracy that began in the First Epoch, gradually operated until now, and is about to bloom violently.

Why would the abyss lineages go out of their way to mess with the Moon Wolves and the Sun lineages? No, let's not consider this point for now. First, the Sun lineages lost their former ally, the Moon Wolves. This would inevitably put them at a disadvantage when confronting the Ancient Dragon faction, but the Sun brothers are not the type to give in.

What is even more puzzling is that after the Sun faction subsequently faced the Ancient Dragon faction, they did not fall into too much of a disadvantage. The hostility between the two sides was a fateful duel; ignoring the process, look only at the result.

Both the Sun and Ancient Dragon factions declined, becoming the afterglow of an era. The Blazing Sun Star · Kiliad almost collapsed and is no longer a Transcendent World...

A Transcendent World? Su Xiao suddenly thought of the purpose of the abyss lineages instigating all of this. Their goal is nine times out of ten a Transcendent World, and the one pushing all of this behind the scenes might not be one abyss lineage, but two abyss lineages in the form of great families, one of which is the "Dukain Clan."

In one epoch, there are very few Transcendent Worlds. The First Epoch had the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, the Blazing Sun Star, and the Eternal Light. The Second Epoch had four Transcendent Worlds; unfortunately, the Dead City among them failed to fully ascend to Transcendent status. The Third Epoch had the Wind Sea Continent, the Witch World, and the Meteorite Star.

Thinking of the Wind Sea Continent, Su Xiao confirmed again that the abyss lineages would plot to seize Transcendent Worlds. The "Azguk Clan," an abyss lineage of the Wind Sea Continent, hid for so many years and has finally achieved its wish.

And the "Dukain Clan," which was one of the several great abyss lineages in the past, began plotting to seize Transcendent Worlds as early as the First Epoch. Alas, their plan succeeded, but the Transcendent World they were plotting to seize collapsed. The result can be imagined: the "Dukain Clan" tore off their masks and beat the abyss lineage they were cooperating with until their clan emblem almost cracked.

The "Dukain Clan" became the winner. Because of this, the Ancient Dragon and Sun lineages, who were former mortal enemies, gathered their legacies into one place at the last moment, built the "Forbidden Tower," left the last white dragon egg inside the Forbidden Tower, and had the elders foresee the lineage within the dragon egg.

Correspondingly, the "Dukain Clan" finally achieved its wish. Just as they were about to take over the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias," the Second Epoch began, and the Law-Extinguishing Era arrived. The Law-Extinguishers came knocking; the slaughter between the two sides was nothing short of tragic.

All the threads were straightened out. Su Xiao did not know the secret of why the "Dukain Clan" wanted to completely control the Transcendent World, but one thing was certain: it could not be left alone. A plan gradually surged into his mind.

Even if he were to go to war with the "Dukain Clan," he couldn't do it like this now. Instead, he had to find a way to make the next world progress the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias."

At that time, with his identity as a Law-Extinguisher, the main mission would be 99% likely to deal with the "Dukain Clan." In this way, he would be solving an old grudge, completing the main mission, and rescuing the White Dragon Girl. If he could also trigger the "Hunting List · Blood Pact," it would be killing four birds with one stone.

Su Xiao took an item out of his storage space. This item was:

【Dukain Family Emblem】

Origin: Abyss.

Usage Effect:???

Brief:???

……

This was obtained when he was at the Blazing Sun Star and opened the 【Abyss Treasure Chest】. Now it seems that the fact that the "Dukain Clan" was related to the Blazing Sun Star had clues as early as when he opened the treasure chest in the previous world progress.

As Su Xiao took out the 【Dukain Family Emblem】, this item was activated by the current world, and its attribute display began to change.

【Dukain Family Emblem】

Origin: Abyss.

Usage Effect: Five "Dukain Family Emblems" can be placed at the "Mouth of the Beast," "Mouth of the Scorpion," "Mouth of the Savage," "Mouth of the Leech," and "Mouth of the Viper" in the "Abyss Near-Area of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Eberias" to open the ancient seal of the "Dukain Clan" and retrieve the "Origin Clan Emblem" representing the "Dukain Clan."

Brief: Either lost, or leaving a flaw.

……

Putting away the 【Dukain Family Emblem】, this thing is crucial for the next world progress. Su Xiao activated his Samsara Brand and returned to the Samsara Paradise; he needed to boost his combat power first.

【Teleportation is about to begin, 10, 9……】

Although there was a teleportation countdown, Su Xiao was not on guard. The teleportation into a mission world is always brutal, but the teleportation back to the Samsara Paradise is relatively gentle.

When the teleportation light dissipated, Su Xiao was already in his exclusive room. Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Benny had also returned.

【Prompt: You have received an offering from the Demon Zerg of the Eternal Light World.】

【You have obtained the Source Container.】

……

It was the Molten Giant who completed the repair and upgrade of the 【Source Container】 and then sent it to Jila through the Demon Zerg. As Su Xiao's follower, Jila used this as an offering and sacrificed it into the team storage space. One can only say that Jila's little brain is still very smart, knowing that this way there is no need to spend teleportation item fees.

Su Xiao observed the 【Source Container】 in his hand. The originally thin and hollow container now had a sense of hardness, although it was still a hollow and thin structure.

He attempted to use the 【Apocalypse Paradise High-level Enhancement Device Usage Right · Once】 he had just obtained on the 【Source Container】.

【Yes/No to use this permission? This permission is extremely rare.】

For a permission to be mentioned as "extremely rare" in the prompt, the upgrade effect can be imagined. Su Xiao chose to upgrade. The 【Source Container】 disappeared and began to be upgraded; it is estimated it will take a while to complete.

Taking advantage of the time, Su Xiao opened the title list. He still had 992,199 Hunter Coins, which meant he could exchange for 992,199 "Spreading Hotbed" titles. Now that the Law-Extinguishing luck has returned, it is time to complete the title upgrade.

Using Hunter Coins to exchange for some "Spreading Hotbed" titles, the burning disk manifested. After setting the relevant permissions, a 【Spreading Hotbed】 was placed on the groove. With a bang of the hammer, this 【Spreading Hotbed】 title exploded.

Removing the 【Shadow of the Abyss】 title, Su Xiao temporarily handed it to Xiang Bubu Wang, letting him use the 100% title potential 【Spreading Hotbed】 forged from the re-forging for a while on this title.

"Spreading Hotbed · Title Effect: Potential Nurturing (Active), swallow a main title for nurturing. This nurturing process will have an 11.11% to 99.99% probability of nurturing the limit potential of this title to the swallowed main title."

A 99.99% success rate Spreading Hotbed is very rare. Although Su Xiao's title re-forging permission has been upgraded once, he could re-forge a 【Spreading Hotbed】 with full title potential after about 20 re-forges, but most of them were 【Spreading Hotbed】 with an 11.11% success rate.

【Re-forging successful, you have obtained Spreading Hotbed · 100% Title Potential.】

After 23 re-forges, the first 【Spreading Hotbed】 was in hand. Su Xiao estimated that it was nine times out of ten an 11.11% success rate Spreading Hotbed. He prepared to do other things, so he left this to Xiang Bubu Wang. However, before leaving, he glanced at this re-forged 【Spreading Hotbed】. With just one glance, he stopped in his tracks.

"Spreading Hotbed · Potential Nurturing (Active): Swallow a main title for nurturing. This nurturing process will have a 99.99% probability of nurturing the limit potential of this title to the swallowed main title."

This kind of luck made Su Xiao change his mind. He wanted to see the limit of the "Shadow of the Abyss" title, whose title potential had reached 100%. He used "Spreading Hotbed" on "Shadow of the Abyss."

"Spreading Hotbed" wrapped around "Shadow of the Abyss," and warm fire patterns appeared on it. But after a few seconds, the fire patterns gradually dimmed. "Spreading Hotbed" turned into pale crystal fragments and scattered from the surface of the "Shadow of the Abyss" title. The upgrade failed. A 99.99% success rate, and it actually failed.

For a moment, one could hear a pin drop in the exclusive room. Benny pretended to wake up, Baja grabbed a book on the abyss and read it upside down, Xiang Bubu Wang stared intently at the terminal screen, and Amu looked up at the stars. As for where there were stars on the ceiling of the exclusive room, let's not mention that point for now.

【Re-forging successful, you have obtained Spreading Hotbed · 100% Title Potential.】

After 22 re-forges, another full-potential "Spreading Hotbed" was in hand. If it were anyone else, failing with a 99.99% success rate would definitely cause a mental breakdown, but Su Xiao's emotions were already without ripples—at least that's how it looked. He glanced at the newly obtained "Spreading Hotbed."

"Spreading Hotbed · Potential Nurturing (Active): Swallow a main title for nurturing. This nurturing process will have a 99.99% probability of nurturing the limit potential of this title to the swallowed main title."

With Su Xiao's luck, once might be a coincidence, but twice definitely is not. He realized one thing: his current -150,000 luck makes title re-forging more extreme.

It used to be that it would either fail continuously, or once it succeeded, it would be a title with 100% title potential. Now it's even more exaggerated: not only is the title potential 100% once it succeeds, but its title attributes are also definitely at the maximum value, such as this "Spreading Hotbed."

However, this characteristic is only useful for "Spreading Hotbed." It is impossible for Su Xiao to get many "Shadow of the Abyss," "Old Hunter," or "Peak Work" titles and perform title re-forging one after another.

Although the acquisition effect of "Spreading Hotbed" seems heaven-defying, the problem is that even for a "Spreading Hotbed" with a 99.99% success rate, Su Xiao, with a luck lower limit of -150,000, can still make it feel like 9.999%.

However, he can now exchange for 992,154 "Spreading Hotbeds." On average, one success every 23 re-forges means 43,137 "Spreading Hotbeds" with full potential and a 99.99% success rate. If the probability isn't enough, then make up for it with quantity.

Handing this matter to Xiang Bubu Wang, Su Xiao activated the Honor Shop and used one 【Samsara Emblem】 to exchange for one 【Power Source Essence (Supreme Level · One Standard Unit)】. He wanted to raise all four of his main attributes to over 1,000 points to activate the "Seal Arrival · Passive" of the Origin Stone.
