Chapter 4145

Exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse began operation, the familiar attribute allocation panel appeared before his eyes, Su Xiao discovered,

"Unlimited attribute points" were not exchanged one point at a time, but precisely to two decimal places, allowing payment of 1200 ounces of spacetime force to exchange for 0.01 point of free attribute points.

Su Xiao exchanged 0.94 points of strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence attributes, and began allocation.

【Is it to proceed with this enhancement using the current allocation method?】

Su Xiao selected yes, and in the next second the exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse began operation—this feeling was familiar yet strange. Soon, the enhancement began. This time it was not direct absorption of "Stellar Origin Power," but the exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse transmuted "Stellar Origin Power" into a special energy. This energy was very close to "Stellar Origin Power," yet carried a few traces of Su Xiao's primal life force fluctuation.

One hour later, the enhancement completed. Su Xiao exhaled deeply, having combined multiple abilities into a method to enhance his own body—not ineffective, but overly fierce. In contrast, when reaching a certain threshold, great risk arises; some call it heart demon, some call it breakthrough failure, and the Extreme Boundary school says it is being devoured by the inner heart.

The power of the Extreme Boundary school is undeniable, yet this system constantly breaking limits—no need to think to know the path ahead is surely filled with hardships. As for why Su Xiao has not encountered these obstacles, he is an Extreme Boundary Grandmaster, cultivating body, mind, and skill; skill-based cultivation is inherently mind cultivation—how could he be devoured by his inner heart?

【Prompt: All your supreme primary attributes have reached 20 points. You may now choose one from the following "Supreme Rank · Ultimate Passive" to enhance yourself.】

1. Absolute Strength · Causality Penetration (Passive): Your blade attacks can ignore all "Life Core" protective effects possessed by the target. When your attack intensity is sufficient, you can destroy multiple enemy Life Cores in a single strike, even all of them, causing immediate death.

2. No-Self Self (Passive): You will possess a "causally non-existent" clone. This clone has growth potential and inherits part of your current physical strength and attack capability. It remains in a state of absolute concealment at all times (when encountering absolute perception, judgment is based on your and the enemy's related physical attributes; the stronger side will pierce the weaker side's absolute trait, and the weaker side's absolute trait capability will temporarily lose its absolute trait,

Effect lasts 10～？。？ natural days).

Prompt: This no-self clone will not die completely; after its death, you can revive it by permanently sacrificing one Life Core.

You must allocate part of your personality for the no-self clone to act.

Prompt: When the no-self clone finds its self, you may choose to devour it, thereby greatly enhancing your "Supreme All-Primary Attributes" and raising the upper limit of your core ability level.

3. Supreme Life Force (Passive): Immediately increase 10 "1 Life Core", and thereafter each 1-point increase in "1 Supreme Stamina" will bring growth of 5 "Life Cores" (originally 2), and your Life Core recovery speed will greatly increase—currently 2 hours to recover 1 Life Core (when you enter "Human Race Talent Ability · Sleep Lv. EX", Life Core recovery speed increases by 50%).

4. Supreme Sage's Wisdom (Passive): If you choose this benefit, you may select two from the above three benefits.

Seeing the fourth option, one cannot help but sigh—truly worthy of a Supreme Sage.

After Su Xiao grasped "Supreme Physique," he considered whether he should raise supreme attributes to 1500 points, or even 1900 points, before ascending to "Supreme Attributes." That would yield 8 "Ultimate Rank · Extreme Boundary Passives" and 1 "Supreme Rank · Extreme Boundary Passive," convertible. But after a moment's thought, this is clearly impossible, because "Extreme Boundary Passives" are released only through accumulation of physical attributes to a certain degree.

If he chose 8 "Ultimate Rank · Extreme Boundary Passives," then after mastering "Supreme Stamina," raising Supreme Physique from 19 to 20 points would inevitably fail to trigger the "Supreme Rank · Extreme Boundary Passive," due to insufficient accumulation—necessitating accumulation to 30 points to activate it.

And looking at the current intensity of the "Supreme Rank · Extreme Boundary Passive!", it is not comparable to the "Ultimate Rank · Extreme Boundary Passive|—just this single Life Core penetration alone would not appear in the "Ultimate Rank · Extreme Boundary Passive."

Moreover, having previously been struck by boundary lightning and suffered explosions of Life Cores, Su Xiao feels that Life Cores are absolutely not something where having a few brings safety—indeed, the more, the better.

Su Xiao is naturally steady—cough—, as for saying he solo-killed into the abyss yesterday, that was due to circumstances, of course not reckless, so Life Cores are certainly the more the better.

Having developed his skill-based cultivation to this point, Su Xiao has had a great awakening. He feels he lacks talent in skill-based systems—for example, sudden epiphanies, skill ability jumping several levels—this has never happened. The only time Fengfeng Shadow Slash was upgraded without resource expenditure was when he and the Underworld God shattered the Falling Star, then upgraded by one level.

In fact, if those top-tier skill-talent grandmasters were to slay one Transcendent Realm with a single blade,

they would immediately have a great awakening, possibly raising their skill core ability by twenty or thirty levels on the spot.

But Su Xiao does not regret this; he has a decent quality: clear self-awareness. Lacking talent? Then cultivate it postnatal. Lacking skill insight? Then Fengfeng Shadow Slash + Ten Layers of All Beings' Ground, develop blade techniques.

Lacking insight in comprehension? No problem—then risk life and limb against strong foes to seize more resources, or conspire with Caesar, then split fifty-fifty—either way, skill ability can be raised.

Thus, Su Xiao never believes in gaining power through combat, nor in comprehending earth-shattering abilities through insight—therefore,

he has nearly walked the path of "Extreme Boundary Grandmaster" through self-created methods. His current philosophy is:

Do not care whether the enemy's ability is rule-based or some lofty system—if your bare-slash power is sufficient, you can always slash and explode the enemy's ability that looks extraordinarily lofty at first glance.

As for the enemy's ability involving causality, fate, etc. —equally lofty-sounding damage—no matter,

with enough Life Cores, you can always withstand it; one Life Core insufficient? Then five; five still insufficient? Very well, then ten!

Old Master now has ·.. 56 Life Cores!

Su Xiao's current situation can be simply described as:

High attack, thick blood.

【You have mastered "Absolute Strength · Causality Penetration."】

【You have mastered "Supreme Life Force."】

This enhancement led Su Xiao to decide he must not abandon the increase of "Supreme Intelligence One Attribute"—this ability seems to offer little combat benefit, yet can nurture "Supreme Sage's Wisdom," a truly miraculous ability.

When "Supreme All-Attributes" reaches 30 points later, if Supreme Intelligence attribute is again activated to produce "Choosing this benefit is equivalent to simultaneously choosing the above three benefits," then it would be a great gain.

Su Xiao stabilized his breath, and at this moment, the prompt appeared:

【Because your Supreme All-Primary Attributes have reached 20 points (this is the current absolute highest rank of physical attribute), each subsequent point of Supreme Attribute enhancement will consume more "Stellar Origin Power." After comprehensive assessment, each 1-point increase in Supreme Attribute requires consumption of 178,650 ounces of spacetime force.】

【Verified that your current Hunter's Mark level is Lv. 105, and this is your unique method of Supreme Attribute enhancement. In the Reincarnation Paradise, your Supreme Attribute enhancement holds great record value, and Reincarnation Paradise will bear part of the resource consumption.】

【Final assessment completed: for each point of "Supreme Free Attribute Point" formed, you must pay 120,000 ounces of spacetime force.】

Seeing this, Su Xiao was not surprised—this resource consumption increase came as expected. Had it still been Supreme Attribute, reaching 1500 points would have triggered this increase. Now, 20 points of Supreme Attribute require 2000 points of Supreme Attribute to transform.

However, the good news is that this increase was successfully completed via your authorization for 'reimbursement,' still at 1 point of Supreme Attribute per 120,000 ounces of spacetime force.

Moreover, Su Xiao already knows Supreme Attribute is the highest attainable physical attribute. Although upon ascending to the Supreme Realm, "Supreme Physique" advances to "Supreme Power · Awakening," this is more an awakening of a certain power than a physical attribute upgrade—"Supreme Attribute" is indeed the highest rank of physical attribute, as explicitly marked in the prompt.

That is to say, even the Supreme Being has Supreme Physique, but the Supreme Being's Supreme Physique should be absurdly high—after all, their invincible combat power stands there.

Su Xiao naturally takes defeating the Supreme Being as his ultimate goal—thus, continuously raising Supreme Attribute is very necessary.

Su Xiao drew "Fate Reversal"; his current strength lets him challenge the remaining vacancies with greatly reduced difficulty. However, after a moment's thought, regardless of other enemies, the power of the Abyss Dragon must be investigated firsthand.

It is said the Abyss Dragon is extremely evil; as the righteous Shadow of Dharma Extinction, Su Xiao must seize that extremely evil black maple tree—cough! —must exterminate that extremely evil Abyss Dragon.

Were it not for the Supreme Being in the void, Su Xiao would have already set out, his blade in hand named Dragon-Slaying Flash—this would be a fated death battle with the Abyss Dragon. He has only two black maple trees, one placed with the Abyss Dragon, which leaves him somewhat uneasy.

Remaining 3.12 million ounces of spacetime force, Su Xiao injected 2.88 million into the exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse. Moments later,

His all Supreme Attributes reached 26 points—put simply, Supreme Attributes cannot be detected; if they could be, one would gasp: "Here is a first-rank contractor with top-tier gear, brothers—kill and explode the Crimson Card."

And these several points of one-time physical attribute enhancement—indeed, this was only felt long ago.

Enhancing physical attributes is certainly satisfying, but spacetime force now only has 240,000 ounces left—previously, over 10 million ounces were in hand. Now, both Supreme Attribute and Fengfeng Shadow Slash's gold-consuming capabilities are extremely strong.

Su Xiao issued the warehouse door opening command to the exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse—result: discovered this long-designed attribute enhancement warehouse lacks this function, but one point: its construction materials are absolutely top-grade. Looking right, pulling down the lever opens the door.

Click!

One of the hardest alloys in the Stellar Realm, Su Xiao broke it barehanded. He looked at his hand—half-meter-long lever with electric sparks sputtering from the tail—and immediately thought: likely another warning incoming. Instead, a prompt appeared:

【Prompt: Your exclusive attribute enhancement warehouse has been damaged; this repair requires 8,526 ounces of spacetime force.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's eye corner twitched imperceptibly—this repair cost exceeds his own healing expenses. He narrowly avoided facing the Abyss Lord, being eroded by terrifying darkness before spending how much on treatment—now this lever? 8,500?

Su Xiao glanced at the handle in his hand, consulted and confirmed that the door could not be opened without repair, and that it would affect the subsequent operation of the reinforcement warehouse, so he paid this amount of spacetime power, while also reminding himself to pay more attention, as his current physical strength had already reached an astonishingly terrifying level.

After the door handle was restored, Su Xiao gripped it again, then slowly pulled down, and after releasing it, a faint handprint appeared on the handle; this time, the supreme power increased from 11.5 to 26 points, an exaggerated increase, and having just grasped "Absolute Power · Causality Penetration," his control over power was still insufficient.

Exiting the exclusive attribute reinforcement warehouse, Su Xiao hesitated about changing locations to adapt to his enhanced self, such as the Tree Arena? That was the arena with the highest certified rank, though matching opponents would likely be slow; he decided to try, to see if he could match against an opponent of supreme peak.

【Prompt (Void Tree): Your application to enter the Tree Arena has been rejected.】

【Warning (Void Tree): Due to your overwhelming comprehensive combat power, you are prohibited from entering the Tree Arena.】

Fundamentally not allowed in, Su Xiao left the exclusive room and headed to the Ten Thousand Beings' Land · Layer Ten of the training grounds.

Su Xiao did not engage in prolonged bitter cultivation in the Ten Thousand Beings' Land · Layer Ten; although there was no time limit for staying this time, he was about to face the Arcane Eternal Star, so he needed to set a time to prevent prolonged delays leading to complications.

The transmission ripple subsided, and as Su Xiao exited the main gate of the training grounds, he no longer felt the previous vague sensation of power losing control; he habitually strolled around the trading market but found no such low-rank yet quite decent permit-type items.

Arriving at Xia's restaurant, just as he entered, Su Xiao saw the usually empty dining room, and from the kitchen came a strange gurgling boiling sound; hearing this, Su Xiao turned to leave, but Xia had already rushed out of the kitchen ahead of him.

"Don't go, don't go, I won't feed you, where's Bahaha?"

"You tricked Bahaha into tasting the dish, and I'll make you a special large chunk meat noodle soup."

Xia confidently crossed her arms; although this "special large chunk meat noodle soup" sounded ordinary, it was actually spicy-flavored large chunk beef noodles, with an exceptionally exquisite taste, ranking among the top three of Xia's culinary masterpieces, and furthermore, for several of her signature dishes, Xia does not often cook them for Su Xiao, not out of stinginess or putting on airs.

In Xia's own words, what makes something delicious is longing and anticipation; if eaten daily, even the finest food will eventually become tiresome, but when one begins to miss the flavor of a dish, it similarly enhances the dish's taste, and longing is itself a necessary seasoning.

Su Xiao looked at Xia; Bahaha was one of his comrades who had shared life and death with him.

After a moment, the anxious Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahaha, and Beni occasionally glanced at the kitchen emitting strange gurgling sounds, while Su Xiao enjoyed a large bowl of noodles; Xia's cooking had a unique quality: even with his current physique and appetite, he could still feel full, and only Xia's cooking could make Am feel stuffed—this seemed to be a unique effect of Xia's culinary skill, beyond deliciousness: satiety.

After a hearty meal, Su Xiao led the dazed Bahaha, who occasionally muttered to himself, as they left; on the way, the melancholic Bahaha missed Am even more and asked:

"Boss, did you meet Am in the Abyss?"

"He's in the near-Abyss region, which is more like an extension of the Abyss, not the Abyss itself."

"Oh, right, right, you told me this once before."

Bahaha nodded and immediately asked: "Boss, you said Am won't have any accidents, right?"

"No."

"Oh? Why? Even the near-Abyss region is quite dangerous, isn't it?"

"Ayesha."

"Oh~~!!"

Bahaha then realized, and his expression relaxed, but after being full, the simultaneous rush of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors made him melancholic again.

"Meow!"

Beni, lounging on Su Xiao's head, meowed, looking around; Xia could not bear to let Beni do the rough work of trying out inspiration, so after a full meal, Beni the Young Lady ate some desserts made by Xia, and now she was reclining on Beni's exclusive special seat, yawning.

Just as Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room, he received a prompt:

【Abyssal Gem / Elemental Gem synthesis completed for this session.】

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahaha, and Beni hurried to the alchemy laboratory, opened that separate spatial area,

the spirit threads gathered, pulling out a fully transparent gem from within; the moment he touched it, the gem was stained with his causality and instantly turned into vivid blood red.

【You obtained "Unnamed Gem".】

Su Xiao merely checked the gem's quality, discovered it was "Eternal," and immediately tried using the "Miracle Gem" on it.

With a sound, the "Unnamed Gem" emitted a crimson glow, and the "Miracle Gem" made a shattering sound;

the power inside was quickly absorbed by the "Unnamed Gem"; the gem's strength already lay between Eternal and Reincarnation levels, and only needed a trigger—this naturally upgraded it to Reincarnation level.

【Unnamed Gem】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise (synthesized within Reincarnation Paradise)

Quality: Reincarnation-level · Unique.

Prompt: When the current holder dies, this gem will shatter and recondense into the "Abyssal Gem" and "Elemental Gem."

Type: Gem.

Usage Requirement: Law-Ending Shadow + White King + Hunter + Original Sin Warden + Unique · Heaven's Chosen.

Prompt: All the above identities must be satisfied to use this gem.

Inlay Effect: Grants equipment the "Star Realm" property.

Star Realm Property: Allows one property (any selectable) of the currently inlaid equipment to undergo ascension-level enhancement.

Rating: This gem has not yet undergone rating certification.

Introduction: Cold and heat, light and dark, life and death, long night and eternal day—seemingly opposing existences, perhaps they can also transform into each other, just like the Abyss and the Elements.

Su Xiao already knew which property of the Dragon-Slaying Flash to enhance with this gem; for durability, he would rely on subsequent devouring of more legendary named blades to improve, and attack power similarly; sharpness relied on enhancement; among the four properties of Dragon-Slaying Flash, only "Demon Blade" had begun to lose its dominant control.

However, before that, he first needed to name this 【Unnamed Gem】, as naming was required for inlaying;

This item had not yet received full certification.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahaha, and Beni sat in a circle; another naming session had arrived; although Am was absent, this fellow's naming attempts had always been food-related and never adopted; this time's naming proposals were as follows:

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang: "Supreme Gem."

Beni: "Eternal Light and Dark Tear."

Bahaha: "Chaos Gem."

Su Xiao: "Powerful Gem."

After discussion, the gem was named "Star Realm Gem"; regarding Su Xiao's second proposed name,

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Beni, and Bahaha nodded repeatedly, as long as it wasn't "Powerful Gem"; and "Star Realm Gem" was very fitting—the harmony of Abyss and Elemental powers is precisely the foundation of Star Realm stability, just like this fusion of Abyssal and Elemental gems.

Half an hour later, before the Gate of the Gray Sanctuary in the Eternal Light World.

Su Xiao gazed at the distant towering insect nest; it had been days since he last saw it, and Ji La had further strengthened the demon insect clan's development.

With the Eternal Light World as this major base, the demon insect clan's development had gotten on track, and recently, Ji La had received a prompt from the Void Tree: she could advance from her current follower status to contractor,

and even become a Death Wanderer, Battle Angel, Pioneer, or Executioner.

Ji La naturally refused; she only wanted to be a servant of the Heretic Slayer·Kukulin·Bai Ye.

Regarding this matter, Su Xiao thought of a possibility, a way to obtain massive resources during that great battle.

That is, when the Abyssal Cataclysm erupts, corresponding to it, endless Abyssal creatures surge into the Star Realm, turning everywhere into a battlefield; facing only a regional battlefield is one of Ji La's strengths, but the problem is,

When the Zerg face Abyssal energy, they fundamentally cannot use the fungal carpet circulation to spawn troops; ultimately they will be shattered by powerful Abyssal creatures, destroying the nest and declaring failure.

But if Ji La becomes a contractor of the Reincarnation Paradise, then her justice would obviously be the summoner system; all Zerg individuals under her magic have perfected summoning certification, which is entirely different—at least it can properly conduct troop-spawning cycles.

Even the Reincarnation Paradise might grant Ji La the Hunter identity; after all, the higher the certification rank of the Zerg individuals under her magic, the stronger Ji La becomes; demonic Zerg lack not war capability, but causal rank, being overly suppressed by the Abyssal system.

At that time, Su Xiao can completely team up with Ji La; surely there will be "Battlefield Merit," and with Ji La's war capability, Su Xiao in the same team will definitely receive massive "Battlefield Merit"; of course, the Zerg will certainly not be the main force against the Abyss—too fantastical—but as a regional defense line, it is still possible.

Entering the Dim Sanctuary, seeing the demon blacksmith not yet arrived, Su Xiao formed a teleportation array beneath his feet, heading to the Zerg nest.

Shortly after, Ji La followed Su Xiao, reluctantly entering the Dim Sanctuary—not because Ji La didn't want to follow Su Xiao, but because she dislikes going out.

Su Xiao, not paying attention, Ji La had already hidden beneath the hem of his long leather coat, leaving the main camp Zerg nest,

Ji La only feels safe this way.

Upon entering the sanctuary, Su Xiao saw the old tree clan withered into timber; compared to last time, the steps before the old tree clan still had many wildflowers placed; unexpectedly, on the old tree clan's forehead, a tender sprout had grown—this sprout resembled a small tree, with a blurry, immature face on it,

As if sensing Su Xiao's approach, the small tree sprout tremulously opened its misty eyes, seeming somewhat afraid, its body slightly curled up.

This is naturally not the old tree clan's reincarnation; the old tree clan is dead, beyond doubt; this is one of the tree clan's traits: the withered trunk left behind provides necessary nutrients for the growth of young individuals of the same clan; more precisely, this cannot even be considered the old tree clan's son, but rather a great-grandson's generation.

Su Xiao's relationship with the old tree clan is quite good; this ancient being, when first seeing Su Xiao, although old and muddled,

has always been the kindness of an elder, and whenever remembered, answers Su Xiao's questions without reservation.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of holy spring water and poured it on the small tree sprout; the previously fearful sprout immediately sensed the holy spring water's nourishing treasure, especially for plant races.

Entering the sanctuary, the molten fire giant was snoring loudly; this one who sleeps for possibly decades, even centuries.

In his eyes, magma seemed to flow; the demon blacksmith with thick, curled goat horns on his chair was sitting nearby, drinking elemental fine brew—this was the stock Su Xiao left for the molten fire giant.

Gentle prayer sounds came from not far away; it was the new sanctuary member, the Healer·Hivsleya, praying; the molten fire giant with old wounds could sleep so well precisely because he was treated by Hivsleya; in short,

Su Xiao leads treatment with potions, skilled at removing corrosion, etc.; for treating old wounds, it is still Hivsleya, this professional healer, let alone that she masters the renowned "Dark Yang Healing Art."

"What's the matter."

The demon blacksmith spoke, sizing up Su Xiao up and down, his gaze with a hint of emotion; he indeed hadn't expected that the Heretic Slayer he met in the white small town back then is now one of the strongest few in the Star Realm.

"Gem, inlay."

Su Xiao took out the "Star Realm Gem"; seeing this gem, the demon blacksmith took two steps forward, grabbed it, observed it, then said:

"This is, an Abyssal Gem? No, there's still residual elemental aura—Elemental Gem? Also not; synthesized? They actually can be synthesized—I thought it was just a rumor.

2

After observing the Star Realm Gem for a moment, the demon blacksmith let Su Xiao leave the Dragon-Slaying Flash; the inlay work began,

Bahu stayed there waiting for the inlay to finish.

Not only inlaying, but the Dragon-Slaying Flash's scabbard【Seal Magic】also needs property adjustment; the current【Seal Magic】is no longer suitable for Su Xiao's situation; his requirement for【Seal Magic】is only one: strengthen the "Dragon-Slaying Flash Durability Nurturing Trait."

After visiting the Zerg nest headquarters and picking up many elemental fine brews along the way, Su Xiao returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao glanced at the time; the time until his appointment with Caesar and the priest was already not far; for this decisive battle,

He was quite confident; however, given his caution, he took out the【Malicious Prophecy】.

"Malicious Prophecy (Abyssal Curio): Can consume current fortune to divine, with 50% chance of absolute accuracy and 50% chance of definite error; the result depends on this item's 'mood'; a 'beautiful mood' Prophecy gives accurate divination, a 'terrible mood' Prophecy gives wrong answers."

This is a divination card; on this card is a beautifully dressed, lightly purple-eyed, cold-expression beautiful prophet; with Su Xiao's -100 charm attribute, this beautiful prophet is very disgusted, that expression of never helping Su Xiao already written on her face.

Sitting by the tea table, Su Xiao pressed the divination card, flipped it over, and the beautiful prophet on the face vanished, replaced by the result "Death God"; this clearly represents that he is about to go to the Arcane Eternal Star decisive battle, he will meet death.

Seeing this, Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin."

Step one, open to page eight of the "Book of Original Sin."

Step two, seal the【Malicious Prophecy】into it.

Step three, quietly wait three seconds.

When the time came, as Su Xiao opened the seal on page eight of the "Book of Original Sin," the【Malicious Prophecy】was flipped out; this time looking again, this beautiful prophet's mind's eye was no longer evil, but looked startled.

"I guarantee with the name of the Heretic Slayer's Shadow, help me divine once, let you leave."

After Su Xiao spoke, he flipped the divination card again; the result was, the image still the beautiful prophet, but attire changed—one in golden splendid robes, one hand holding a scepter, the other holding a book.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment, huh, very good, didn't understand the meaning; in divination studies, indeed he has dabbled little; after a moment, Benny brought back a basic book of this divination system; not long after, Su Xiao found out what this attire of the "Malicious Prophecy" means.

Sage.

Arcane Eternal Star, Sage.

Arcane Mage Sage·Serphiliya?

Subsequent to going to the Arcane Eternal Star, first kill this spellcaster.

As for saying, after one divination, let the【Malicious Prophecy】leave, the Heretic Slayer's Shadow's name guarantee has long been known to all in the Second Era.

Su Xiao sealed the【Malicious Prophecy】into page eight of the "Book of Original Sin," closed the book, while waiting, he read books on seal study; half an hour later, he opened the "Book of Original Sin," opened the seal on page eight.

The【Malicious Prophecy】that came out of the seal looked at Su Xiao, again as when first meeting—gazing at charm down a dish, very disgusted; very good, under the strong impact of Original Sin power, it was originally a dead thing,

but the【Malicious Prophecy】with certain intelligence was successfully 'formatted'.

Not to mention it, even the worm-eaten world, if locked up long enough, would also be forcibly 'formatted'.

Arriving at a quiet room, Su Xiao took out the "Sage's Secret Canon," he pressed one hand on this half-meter-high metal book; due to continuous use of the "Sage's Secret Canon" in a short time, this secret canon indeed began to devour his fortune; fortunately, the "Fortune Coin" in hand, he fears nothing from having his fortune devoured; these devoured fortunes are not Su Xiao's.

After devouring for over an hour, among the three faces on the "Sage's Secret Canon," the metal face representing the "Silent Sage" began to awaken.

Dark gold metallic fluid flowed out, forming a black-robed elder two and a half meters tall, with an extraordinarily large yet emaciated skeleton,

On the lower half of his face was an aged bronze mask, giving the feeling not worn on but burned in; his right arm is a bundle of tendrils, left eye blind, right eye full of many pupils crowded together,

The "Silent Sage" pressed one hand on the "Sage's Secret Canon"; the canon opened, and vast seal study knowledge surged out,

The style of the "Silent Sage" is just this: only those with strong enough endurance for knowledge can master this knowledge; otherwise, death is certain.

Early next morning, Su Xiao drank a bottle of spirit-recovering potion, and though studying seal study with the "Sage's Secret Canon" was arduous and carried some risk, the results were remarkable; just as he considered whether to accept another baptism of seal knowledge today, Caesar sent a message from his side.

The content was that the shares of the Shadow Merchant Guild that Su Xiao obtained from Crystal Princess earlier were converted into profits by Caesar.

The profits were naturally high, but there was a small problem: it had been investigated that these shares of the Shadow Merchant Guild came from Crystal Princess, and Crystal Princess's final destination was the Annihilation Star, which Su Xiao had slashed and destroyed.

This connection—Su Xiao and Caesar's collusion in this matter—had already been learned by the Shadow Merchant Guild; now, the Shadow Merchant Guild was preparing to take revenge. As for this, Su Xiao didn't care; it was just mutual sparring. He had made his move—why shouldn't the other side make theirs? He had always been reasonable.

However, the next piece of information let him know that this matter was not simple: the Shadow Merchant Guild had made a very puzzling move—this side had actually joined the Merchant Guild Alliance, and the Merchant Guild Alliance had issued a wanted notice for Su Xiao.

Given that Su Xiao had already slain the Death God, issuing a wanted notice for him was such an operation—truly too puzzling. Leaving aside whether anyone would take on this bounty, the problem was, besides the Lord of the Abyss and that person, who else could actually complete this bounty? And as for those two, they would certainly not pay attention to such a so-called bounty.

In fact, this was an internal problem of the Merchant Guild Alliance. Previously, the alliance's constituent forces were the Giant Bank, the Underworld Bank, the Apothecary Guild, the Winged Race, and most clans of the Demon Race. But after the White Bull assassinated the Arcane Eternal Star, the Apothecary Guild, the Winged Race, and the Demon Race all hastily withdrew.

Because the Merchant Guild Alliance initially claimed that surviving this Abyssal Catastrophe would be enough, just as the Goblin Merchant Guild had done in the final era of antiquity.

However, under the dominance of the Giant Bank and the Underworld Bank, the Merchant Guild Alliance boarded the great ship of the Arcane Eternal Star.

After all, the power of the Arcane Eternal Star, and that invincible existence located in the clouds—however one looked at it, after the outbreak of the Abyssal Catastrophe, this side was most likely to become the ultimate victor, not the Myriad Races Realm.

But after the White Bull completed the assassination, the Apothecary Guild, the Winged Race, and the Demon Race all realized things were dire. Having been severely screwed over by the Giant Bank and the Underworld Bank, the Winged Race, before withdrawing from the Merchant Guild Alliance, simply used their insider in the upper echelons of the Giant Bank to issue a bounty against the Heretic·Kukulin·Bai Ye.

Thus, amid the internal backstabbing within the Merchant Guild Alliance, this puzzling operation emerged.

The newly joined Shadow Merchant Guild was dumbfounded. Their idea was that, under the Merchant Guild Alliance acting as a powerful intermediary, they could negotiate with the Fraudster and the Heretic to seize some benefits. Instead, they were stunned to discover that their newly found big brother—the Merchant Guild Alliance—was this ruthless? They actually directly issued a wanted notice?

Ah? Wasn't that the one who had defeated the Death God, shattered the Annihilation Star, and was among the top combat powers in the entire Star Realm? Issuing a wanted notice directly—wouldn't that be too hasty? The Shadow Merchant Guild panicked, suddenly feeling that, compared to previous losses, this trouble seemed even greater. It appeared that doing too much shady business in the dark, even if cautious, would eventually bring retribution.

Now both the Merchant Guild Alliance and the Shadow Merchant Guild wanted to immediately withdraw the bounty. The problem was, the bounty had already been issued through the "Hunter Guild," which was also typically the type that enjoys watching drama without fearing trouble—so it had truly been made public. As for the Winged Race, they had already swiftly joined the Myriad Races Realm, with most of their ancestral assets transferred there. To say the Winged Race hadn't prepared in advance—no one would believe that.

The Winged Race's attitude was very strange: anyway, at present, the entire Winged Race was no match for Su Xiao alone, so they chose to seek survival in death—if they couldn't win, they would simply bring all their assets and join.
