Chapter 4073: Achievement

Seeing the attributes of this equipment, for some reason, Su Xiao felt that this thing was indescribably evil, which gave him a new understanding of the equipment system in the late stages.

The first is the traditional system, which stops abruptly at "Eternal Grade." If the traditional system equipment of the Paradise camp really ends here, then there are too many things that cannot be explained.

This is no longer a problem.??? quality is above "Eternal Grade." As for why "Eternal Grade" is the highest quality of the traditional equipment system, this depends on the situation of the??? quality.

Besides the traditional system, there are three major systems: Abyss Grade, World Grade, and Overlord Grade.

Abyss Grade equipment is rarely seen in the early and mid-stages, and feels lukewarm in the late stage. But in the late stage, as long as it is Abyss-series equipment, it is either powerful to the limit or evil to the extreme.

For example, the 【Laughing Ghost Mask】. The moment he saw this equipment, Su Xiao had a feeling of faintly facing the Wildness of Growth, the Lord of the Old Days, and the Candle Girl, but it was just a feeling.

This made him suspect that this thing was likely the remains of a top-tier Star Realm alien existence that fell during the ancient era. It might even be the handiwork left by one of the three: the Wildness of Growth, the Lord of the Old Days, or the Candle Girl.

Afterward, the head part of this Star Realm alien existence fell into the Abyss during that battle that could be called a catastrophe. After the unrestrained enhancement of Abyss power for several eras, it finally condensed into only this gray-white mask.

Moreover, the current strength is not the limit of the 【Laughing Ghost Mask】. Deeply awakening it will inevitably increase its strength.

In addition, the characteristic of Abyss equipment is that no matter how powerful it is, one must pay a price. For example, Caesar's 【Hand of Deception】, after obtaining it, actually significantly increases greed, but Caesar is immune to it. Don't think this debuff is average. This is after obtaining it, not after wearing it.

As long as one gets this thing, the greed in one's heart will continuously increase. It is no exaggeration to say that in the late stage, this will increase the mortality rate by more than 40%. For example, Su Xiao, when he faced the 6 million ounce Space-Time Power bounty "Secret of Runes" before, once greed surged, thinking that he had the "Book of Original Sin" and was not afraid of this causal pollution.

The Second Era · Alchemy Civilization perished just like this.

The side effects of the 【Laughing Ghost Mask】 are equally terrifying. No matter how high the Charisma attribute is, once the -200% Charisma judgment hits, the Charisma judgment must be negative. As for Su Xiao, cough~

Compared to Abyss Grade equipment, World Grade equipment is upright and peaceful, with a limit enhancement about 20% weaker than Abyss Grade, but without any debuffs.

As for Overlord equipment, this is another extreme. Overlord equipment exceeding a certain ranking begins to require gaining its recognition. It might even be that the top five Overlord equipment occupy all five Overlord equipment slots. Don't be surprised; this level of Overlord equipment can do this.

Putting away the 【Laughing Ghost Mask】, Su Xiao continued to move forward. Located in the deepest part of Koin · Mo'erbo's laboratory is a golden metal giant door covered with various alchemy spells. There is only one way to open this door: alchemy.

The problem is that this world has an absolute ban on alchemy, but opening this door requires alchemy. Su Xiao pressed one hand on it, and his mana spread out, starting to construct an "Alchemy Spell" in the spell grooves on the door. Just as this spell was about to form.

Boom!

The alchemy spell shattered. This was the suppression of the "Causal Lock Ring." Seeing this, he pressed one hand on the hilt of his blade.

'Extreme Blade · World.'

Zing!!

A sharp and metallic slashing sound appeared. With Su Xiao as the center, a spherical "Extreme Blade Domain" appeared. It only appeared for an instant, looking like the color of the surrounding air became deeper. Every ten centimeters or so, there was a slashing point the size of a grain of rice.

Before the sharp slashes around disappeared.

'Extreme Blade · World.'

Crack, crack!

The world around began to show signs of shattering. Su Xiao used "Extreme Blade · World" twice without changing his expression and immediately used it a third time.

With a crack, the world area around began to show dark liquid, which clearly meant the world was slashed open, and Abyss power began to seep in.

'Extreme Blade · World!'

The fourth "Extreme Blade · World," the world around was in jeopardy. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the area where the "Causal Lock Ring" is located.

With the power of Su Xiao's current "Extreme Blade · World," in the normal area of this world, a single "Extreme Blade · World" would cause black marks to appear in the air. Two "Extreme Blade · World" in one location would definitely shatter the world area, causing Abyss energy to surge in. If not handled, it would naturally form an Abyss passage.

'Extreme Blade · World!'

With a rumble, the world around Su Xiao shattered and turned into darkness. Abyss energy shrouded Su Xiao and the golden giant door. He pressed one hand on the golden giant door.

Under the violent surge of Abyss energy, even a powerful person at the same strength level as Su Xiao would be completely eroded by Abyss power within ten seconds, but consider the 213 points of Abyss resistance.

The first alchemy formation on the golden giant door was constructed. The "Causal Lock Ring" could indeed suppress the alchemy of this world. The problem is that the area where Su Xiao was located was no longer this world, but the Abyss. By slashing through with violence, he directly connected to the Abyss passage.

There were a total of twelve interlocking alchemy spell imprints on the golden giant door. After Su Xiao constructed the second spell, he discovered that the Abyss shroud area around him actually began to shrink. The "Causal Lock Ring" behind the door actually began to repair this world-shattering area. Once repaired, this place would be an area of this world again, and the spells he constructed on the door would immediately be suppressed and shattered.

The dark area gradually shrank, and there were more and more alchemy spells on the door. Just as the eleventh alchemy spell was constructed, this world-shattering area was forcibly healed.

Boom!

All the alchemy spells on the golden giant door shattered. Su Xiao failed. He didn't show disappointment or other emotions, but sat cross-legged on the platform in front of the door and began to meditate.

A settlement of 400% World Source alone should not be able to achieve this. The last SSSS-level world evaluation was because it was the first world he experienced, and there was a huge bonus in this regard.

But if it is 400% World Source settlement + the settlement of completing all the real stage · main quests, he has a 99.9% certainty of achieving the SSSS-level world evaluation that only appears when experiencing the first Supreme world in the second world progress.

In addition, the Hunter honor gain of 【Old Hunter】 is also very rich:

【Old Hunter】

Extreme Smelting: Four times.

Title Effect: Hunter Honor (Passive)...

Current Honor Experience: 400%/400% (Because the Old Hunter title is Extreme Smelting · 4 times and full title potential, the honor experience upper limit is increased by 300%, and the honor experience acquisition amount is increased by 2.65 times).

Current Honor Shop Level: 16 (The conventional highest level is 15, and the Hunter has reached the highest level record of 48).

Tip: Due to the special nature of this title, you only need to hold this title, without needing to wear it, to activate the "Old Hunter" effect.

Introduction: The person with the highest personal honor shop level in Reincarnation Paradise can obtain a precious reward exclusive to the individual.

【You have chosen to consume honor experience to improve the current honor shop level.】

【Your honor shop level has been improved to Lv. 20.】

【When you return to your exclusive room this time, your honor shop will be refreshed once and unlock more high-permission items.】

Su Xiao had been considering which title to use the existing Hunter Coins to upgrade to "Extreme Smelting · 5 times." The range of options is:

【Old Hunter】, 【Peak Work】, 【God Hunter】, 【Original Sin Scholar】.

First exclude 【God Hunter】. The strength of this title is already more than enough. As for 【Peak Work】, it's not urgent. That is the choice between 【Old Hunter】 and 【Original Sin Scholar】.

In fact, he had long wanted to complete the upgrade, but he was in the Secret Island and it was too dangerous, so he had no time to deal with this title synthesis that required frequent operations. That is not maximizing gains, but maximizing death-seeking.

【Old Hunter】 is to obtain more resources, 【Original Sin Scholar】 is to seek stability and further improve the mastery of sealing studies. After weighing, Su Xiao chose 【Old Hunter】.

His "Book of Original Sin" swallowed more than 200 【Original Sin Cores】 this time. Even if he immediately encounters the seventh Great Father-level · Original Sin Item, he can cope with it. Of course, he must improve sealing studies as soon as possible.

Su Xiao spent a total of 580,200 Hunter Coins to exchange for 1,934 Title Treasure Chests (★★★).

【Title Treasure Chest (★★★)】

Usage Effect: After opening, you can obtain 1 nine-star title with specified characteristics.

Inventory Quantity: -- (No limit on exchange quantity).

Exchange Price: 300 Hunter Coins.

In this way, counting the ones saved before, Su Xiao has a total of 3,125 nine-star titles. Open the title smelting turntable, and next is one smelting after another until obtaining four non-attribute sub-titles of "Extreme Smelting · 4 times."

This is Su Xiao's way of improving titles. Probability is not enough, quantity makes up for it. What title synthesis success rate? Put the main title, and the five title slots around it are all filled with non-attribute titles of the same rank as the main title. The success rate becomes 100% in seconds.

There was a contractor who used a total of three nine-star non-attribute titles to upgrade a nine-star "Extreme Smelting · 0 times" main title to "Extreme Smelting · 3 times." If it were Su Xiao, it would definitely be 155 nine-star non-attribute titles. Failure rate? Is there such a thing as failure rate in title synthesis?

After speaking, Assistant Minister · Enmu walked out of the throne hall. Sunlight shone down, and he looked up at the sun in the sky. He wanted to return to his home now and take one last look at his family, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

On the second floor of the throne hall, in the old King's bedroom.

The clock on the wall began to dissolve and turned into a face. It looked at the empty bed, and its gaze was complex for a while. When the Empire Emperor awakened it, it thought the other party was an arrogant person who didn't know his own strength, but it didn't expect that the other party had actually achieved this degree.

The door was pushed open, and Assistant Minister · Enmu and Grand Commander · Litangwig walked into the bedroom. The Grand Commander's gaze looked at the metal face on the wall and said:

"Mr. Harota, you need to leave here. The Ancestor God will return soon."

Grand Commander · Litangwig spoke, but strangely, he was implicitly led by Assistant Minister · Enmu beside him.

"You really succeeded, Roald."

The metal face on the wall looked at Assistant Minister · Enmu, but said the name of the old King.

The metal face on the wall was actually not someone else, but the true Myriad Phenomena Origin · Harota. It should have been extinguished by the consciousness invasion of its teacher, but the gods are known for their powerful vitality.

Myriad Phenomena Origin · Harota survived, but with only a small amount of divine blood, like a masterless ghost, it could only survive by parasitizing other creatures.

It also often fell into a deep sleep because of this, until, long ago, one of the old King's former right-hand men, the former Minister of the "Empire Special Affairs Department," discovered the plight of this god.

"Roald, what do we do next?"

The metal face-like Harota asked.

The old King sat down in front of his former sickbed. Although he revived, this was only temporary. He had indeed died; otherwise, how could he have deceived those powerful enemies.

"Wait."

The old King felt the trembling of the earth. Just then, a gnome in a suit and leather shoes walked into the room. He wore a conspicuous large gold watch, and his beard was groomed meticulously.

This person was exactly the former Gnome Chamber of Commerce Chairman · Boji · Gold Crown, who had been cheated by Caesar many times, the worst of which was being cheated by Caesar until he didn't even have underwear left, and was therefore dismissed from his position by the shareholders' meeting of the Gnome Chamber of Commerce!

In his prime, the old King once tried to change the passive situation of the current Empire, but the result was that he couldn't shake the three giants at all, and even paid the lives of nearly all his descendants.

The last remaining descendant was not even one-tenth as good as the successor he chose as King. Unfortunately, his eldest daughter, whom he was most satisfied with, had died. That would have been the Empress who would have taken the Empire further.

Myriad Phenomena Origin · Harota was plotted against by his teacher and almost perished completely.

Not to mention the former Gnome Chamber of Commerce Chairman · Boji · Gold Crown, he was just as miserable. However, long ago, he had gone to the Secret Island alone, which was a bit puzzling, and one would mistake him for wanting to use some treasure on the Secret Island to regain a seat in the Gnome Chamber of Commerce.

Now it seems that this is not the case. This is clearly part of the cooperation of the three.

Yes, these three are the former loser group. Now, they are prepared to take back everything that was taken away, and even take more.

In the deepest part of the Initial Sanctuary on the Secret Island, in the hall like the top of the starry sky.

The world area here was pulled to distortion. The "Causal Rune" had actually swallowed the "World Core" of this world, and because of this, the world consciousness of this world had gradually gone crazy under the pollution of the "Causal Rune."

At this moment, Su Xiao tried to seal the "Causal Rune," leading to the extreme malice of this world toward him. After Koin · Mo'erbo died, all the alchemy creatures on the island entered a masterless state, and at this moment they were frantically attacking the outer defenses of the "Initial Sanctuary."

Not only that, all the aquatic creatures in the Life Sea, except for a few particularly powerful ones that could be immune to the control of the crazy world consciousness, the rest, from small aquatic worms to deep-sea giant beasts that covered the sky and sun, all swarmed toward the Secret Island. The scene was very terrifying.

However, all this was too late. In the starry sky hall, under the pulling of the Collector, the "Causal Rune" slowly and resolutely approached the "Book of Original Sin." After approaching a certain distance, it was immediately sealed in the "Book of Original Sin."

As the "Book of Original Sin" closed, the Causal Lock Ring in the hall suddenly stopped circling, the surrounding starry sky gradually shattered, and the ground was no longer transparent.

Crack, crack, crack~

Losing its core, the Causal Lock Ring began to crack rapidly like shattered glass, exploding piece by piece.

With a boom, the Causal Lock Ring completely shattered. Almost at the same time, Su Xiao felt a sense of relief. The haze that had been weighing on his heart since entering this world could be described as seeing the clouds and seeing the sun.

The moment the Causal Lock Ring shattered, the crazy world consciousness shrouding above stopped abruptly, dying suddenly without any warning.

Almost at the same time, the alchemy creatures it forcibly controlled, as well as almost all the aquatic creatures in the Life Sea, also died instantly. This scene was spectacular and terrifying.

The "Eye of No Darkness" in the sea gradually faded. The shattering of the Causal Lock Ring represented that its contract with the alchemists ended here.

An invisible but truly existing causal power quietly gathered back to this world. You must know that this is a causal power that spreads to the entire Star Realm along various causalities.

As long as someone's alchemy reaches a certain level, and there is no unsolvable protection like Paradise notarization, then this spreading slender causality will turn into a causal curse, letting those who dare to master alchemy die from this extremely miserable causal curse.

And at this moment, this causal curse for alchemy is rapidly gathering and condensing, finally withering in the starry sky hall. In contrast, the enhancement of the concept of alchemy by the "Causal Rune" also disappeared.

【Announcement (Void Tree): The continuous enhancement of alchemy by the "Causal Rune" has expired.】

This is an announcement released to all high-level contractors/hunters/battle angels, but 90% of them are puzzled and then close it.

【Tip: The continuous enhancement of alchemy by the "Causal Rune" has expired. Your Basic Alchemy level will appear to have a certain degree of permanent reduction.】

【Current Alchemy Level: Lv. 94.】

【Your alchemy has dropped to Lv. 80.】

【Your Alchemy Mechanics level is too low and will not drop in level because of this.】

【Your Alchemy Biology level is too low and will not drop in level because of this.】

【Your Alchemy Pharmacy level is Lv. 99, which has exceeded the derivation of Basic Alchemy and will not be reduced.】

【Because your Alchemy Pharmacy is Lv. 99, it has fed back to the Basic Alchemy that dropped to Lv. 80.】

【Your Basic Alchemy final level is: Lv. 90.】

Su Xiao felt a stinging pain in his brain. Some of the originally feasible spells mastered in the past could no longer be realized after losing the enhancement of the concept of alchemy by the "Causal Rune."

The good news is that some spells of pharmacy can be used to replace these invalid spells. Although the two processes are different, the results are the same, just like 1+4=5 and 2+3=5.

Looking around, this hall has returned to its normal appearance, as if the "Causal Lock Ring" had never appeared. He turned to look at Caesar.

"My dear friend, it has succeeded."

A treacherous smile appeared on Caesar's face. Since Su Xiao entered this place, Caesar had always been there, but he was responsible for another matter.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a large bag of "Space-Time Stone Fragments," totaling 3,000 pieces, worth 30,000 ounces of Space-Time Power. This was the reward to be paid to Caesar. While handing it to Caesar, he said:

"Don't let it leave this world."

"Rest assured, my friend. It has just awakened, and with the shattering of the Causal Lock Ring, it will not leave this world. It is even prepared to take this world as its own."

"That's good."

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the Initial Sanctuary. The causal curse on his body gradually drifted away. This was because he didn't directly touch the lock ring and the "Causal Rune." Otherwise, he would have died here this time.

Golden light particles drifted from his body. This was the protection from the power of destiny, and needless to say, it was the help from the old lady.

After leaving the Initial Sanctuary, Su Xiao summoned Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, preparing to leave this island as soon as possible.

"Boss, this way!"

Baha flew down, his expression solemn. Seeing this, Su Xiao took Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang and Amu and ran at full speed in the direction Baha was flying.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the seaside. This place was full of half-melted corpses of aquatic creatures. Under a giant rock sat a burly figure. Under the sunset of the horizon, this figure sitting under the giant rock with dark red blood all over his body had a sense of loneliness.

"Cough, cough, cough! You're here, Law-Exterminator."

Ancient Ancestor · Hatu spoke, coughing up blood while speaking. To be precise, he should be called "Exiled · Hatu." The Rune family has a total of seven members, and Hatu is the only one exiled.

Exiled · Hatu sat under the giant rock in a dying state. Under the sunset, there was an indescribable sense of loneliness. Logically speaking, as an Abyss descendant, he was not afraid of death. On the contrary, death was one of the ways for them to escape from danger.

The reason why Exiled · Hatu was like this was because this was the state he had just revived in. His existence was swallowed. If he weren't an Abyss descendant, his ending at this moment would be disappearance forever.

And even as an Abyss descendant who could revive, Exiled · Hatu's initial state after revival was severely dying and could not be recovered, because this was the best state he could reach without "existence."

And the reason why Hatu was exiled by the Rune family was that he had lost to Ancestor God · Yashimis in the past. The Beast family didn't need losers, even if its members were only a few.

"This defeated appearance is too ugly."

Exiled · Hatu, whose blood pool under his legs was constantly expanding, spoke.

Zing~!

The long blade unsheathed. Su Xiao's meaning was very simple. Since Exiled · Hatu didn't want to be humiliated like this, he had a way to help the other party get rid of this situation.

"It's useless. I am an Abyss descendant, even if I am exiled by the family..."

Exiled · Hatu said this, and the long blade in Su Xiao's hand was already covered with mysterious black patterns, and wisps of black magic smoke rose from this magic blade.

"Magic Spirit Awakening · Skill Effect 3: Causal Tearing (Passive), after killing an 'Abyss descendant,' you can choose to activate this characteristic, allowing the 'Blade Magic Spirit' in the slashing state to forcibly tear the 'Causal Life Source' of the killed Abyss descendant from the 'Origin Family Emblem' of their family, making them perish completely because of this killing.

Number of uses per world: 2/2 times."

Although Su Xiao was silent, his attitude was clearly that this slash would guarantee death.

"Wait, wait."

The corners of Exiled · Hatu's eyes twitched imperceptibly. After becoming a member of the Beast family in the First Era, death had completely stayed away from him. And today, death was approaching, which instead gave him a feeling of truly coming alive.

"As a reward for leaving me a final bit of dignity, I will give you some, rewards."

Exiled · Hatu said this, coughing violently, spraying blood wildly. After a while, he got better and continued:

"Be careful of the Empire's Emperor and that diviner old lady. I don't know how the Empire Emperor persuaded that diviner old lady, but one thing is certain: that 'Star Heart' of mine was deliberately released just to lure you here. That old lady seems very convinced that as long as I take out the 'Star Heart,' you will come here." ===== CHAPTER 4074 =====
