Chapter 4191: Open

With over 24 million ounces of spacetime power in hand, this is Su Xiao's wealthiest moment yet. As an Extreme Boundary cultivator, in the Third Era when this "Star-Origin Spacetime Force" is not abundant, he can only elevate his physique to this extent by relying on vast resources.

Before enhancing his physique, Su Xiao had two things to do. He came to the planting area, chose a spot with loose soil, and tossed the 【Seed of Strength】 into a small pit. A blade of light silently swept across his palm, blood trickled down, and after feeling it was about right, he buried the soil and waited.

No longer suppressing his recovery, the wound on his hand healed on its own. Su Xiao checked the prompt that had just appeared—【Ring of Infinity】 had completed its upgrade. He examined its attributes:

【Ring of Infinity】

Origin: Abyss.

Quality: Abyssal Tier.

Type: Buff Equipment.

Equipment Effect: Infinite Carrying (Core·Passive), effect currently unavailable.

Rating: 30000+ points (Reincarnation-tier equipment rated at 15000–30000 points).

……

The 【Ring of Infinity】 is undoubtedly the most wondrous and unique equipment Su Xiao has ever seen. This item changes differently in each rating tier, and although the previous stage's "Abyssal Sacrifice" has disappeared, it is no loss—the Abyssal Campaign is about to begin, and who knows what unexpected problems another "Abyssal Sacrifice" might bring.

But the current trait of the 【Ring of Infinity】 is simply too arbitrary. Su Xiao pondered briefly, then took out the 【Origin Stone·World】. As he activated the 【Ring of Infinity】, there was a soft click—the 【Origin Stone·World】 was drawn to and attached onto the 【Ring of Infinity】, as if inlaid upon it.

Oh~!

So this is its function—the 【Ring of Infinity】 indeed carries the 【Origin Stone·World】. And then? No bonus. What does this carrying mean?

Su Xiao is not disappointed. Being able to carry the 【Origin Stone·World】 means the 【Ring of Infinity】 has sufficient status. A bold idea formed in his mind.

After weighing feasibility, he took out a 【Covenant Object】 to contact the demon blacksmith via this method. If the other party has already left the Eternal Light World, then it would be troublesome to have them return—but it's unlikely they left. Earlier, when he went to retrieve the inlaid Dragon-Slaying Flash, the demon blacksmith was snoring loudly under the World Tree. This wine-loving old blacksmith is drunk.

No need to contact the Fire Giant—this legendary blacksmith, deeply allied with the Extinction Law faction, now resides in the Gloomy Sanctuary. He greatly enjoys the current Eternal Light World: peace and tranquility. Though he can no longer find his kin, dwelling in the Gloomy Sanctuary may well be the Fire Giant's best refuge.

I vaguely recall that in the thirteenth colorless layer of Gao Ta, a blacksmith's forge slightly illuminated a corner, giving the place some dim color.

A figure over ten meters tall sat there, for the anvil was not tailored to him—it was much too low, forcing him to bend his spine and hunch his body while doing fine forging. Thus, he used a specially awkward hammer, a few sizes too small, gripping it between thumb and forefinger to strike.

His original forging tools, aside from the furnace, were all destroyed. But to maintain familiarity with his craft, he still used these most inconvenient tools to forge masterpieces that left other blacksmiths in awe. The Fire Giant truly is—though already a top master, he still retains an apprentice's mindset, constantly striving to advance in the art of forging.

The chronic ailments accumulated over years made him often suffer violent dry coughs. Unfortunately, in the Second Era, those who did not covet his skill but only valued him as a friend—providing him stable shelter—were the Extinction Law's Shadow, all now dead and soulless.

Now, the Fire Giant has no such worries, sleeping soundly in the forging chamber of the Gloomy Sanctuary.

Su Xiao took out a communicator and contacted a disciple of the Dwarf King. After the Wind Sea Continent was eroded by the Abyss, the Dwarf King departed, and it is said he recently brought his disciples to the Myriad Races Realm.

Without much hassle, Su Xiao reached an agreement with the Dwarf King: they would meet later at the Gloomy Sanctuary in the Eternal Light World. Thus, the three legendary blacksmiths would gather here.

Su Xiao dialed another contact number. Moments later, the other end picked up, and cautiously asked: "Looking for me—what do you need fixed?"

"No."

"What is it?"

"Go to the Gloomy Sanctuary in the Eternal Light World."

"I won't go."

Reid refused very bluntly—so bluntly he hadn't even processed what was going on. It was the muscle memory from long being scammed… ah no, language memory.

"The demon blacksmith, the Fire Giant, and the Dwarf King are all there."

"What did you just say?"

"You go—go to the Gloomy Sanctuary."

"Then I'm setting off."

The other end hung up. No need to guess—one knows for sure he's setting off with his apprentice daughter, oh oh. The three legendary blacksmiths gathering—how could a master blacksmith like Reid possibly miss such an opportunity?

Among the three legendary blacksmiths, the demon blacksmith is aloof and powerful, the Dwarf King is dignified and composed, and the Fire Giant is the most kind-hearted.

Putting away the communicator, Su Xiao looked ahead at a crooked small tree over two meters tall that had sprouted. Beneath it, the trunk rose straight then bent, forming a crescent shape, with a golden fruit hanging at the top, supported by the curved part.

Plucking this golden fruit, Su Xiao faintly sensed the immense energy it contained. To call it merely a fruit would be wrong—it is more like the condensation of some special power.

Arriving at the alchemy lab, Su Xiao began planning this potion's formulation. Certainly, he could not take risks—letting this formulation reach 200% effect was unrealistic. To push the "Miracle Fruit"'s inherent bonus to its limit, then add another 45%, was already the peak of his skill in this concoction. Knowing that before this, there had been no formula for the "Miracle Fruit"—he had to develop it himself, and there was no room for trial and error.

After exchanging various auxiliary materials, Su Xiao began the formulation. Let it be said: alchemy at Level 100 with the 【Peak Master】 title—even for this first-time, extreme-difficulty formulation, he still felt a sense of effortless ease.

After a precise, smooth formulation, the exhaust valve in the cooling device sprayed cold air. He took out the potion, and Su Xiao examined its attributes.

【Unnamed Secret Elixir】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise·Flame Alchemist.

Quality: Reincarnation Tier·Rare.

Type: Permanent Buff Elixir.

Effect: After consumption, permanently raises the current technique core ability level cap by Lv. 30.

Peak Quality Bonus: After consumption, permanently raises the current technique core ability level cap by Lv. 15.

Note: This elixir must be consumed in three doses.

Warning: Requires maximum stamina to reach 20, 40, and 50 points respectively, totaling three consumptions; otherwise, great risk will occur!

Rating: 30000+ points (Reincarnation-tier item rated at 15000–30000 points).

Introduction: To be determined.

Price: To be determined.

……

Su Xiao named it the "Miracle Secret Elixir." As the price of developing the "Miracle Fruit" to its utmost, this elixir's consumption risk is maximized. His current maximum stamina is 26 points—given his astonishing physique, even the second dose carries great risk. He divided the elixir, gulped down the first dose with a glug.

From another angle, this elixir's pre-consumption condition is actually normal. Classifying it as a secret elixir of the "Supreme Realm" tier makes the threshold suddenly reasonable.

After summarizing gains from various treasuries, Su Xiao checked the series of prompts that appeared when the battle on the Arcane Eternal Star ended.

【You have slain the Mad King·Errod.】

【You gained 716 merit points (locked state, merit shop not yet open).】

No usual kill rewards appeared—this is because going to the Arcane Eternal Star was not within a mission world, so there was no full-process notarization by Reincarnation Paradise. This is a crucial prerequisite for obtaining kill reward chests, world sources, etc.

This Arcane Eternal Star notarization by the Void Tree is actually a special notarization. Even if Sephiria did not open the Abyss Gate, the Abyss Cataclysm's outbreak is recent, so this Void Tree's notarization of the Void counts as a pre-campaign notarization for the Abyss War.

It is easier to understand why killing spellcasters earns merit points even before the "Abyssal Campaign" is activated: spellcasters who devour natural elements to strengthen themselves are undoubtedly the main culprits of this abyssal calamity.

This time, after destroying the Arcane Eternal Star, Su Xiao earned a total of 1295 merit points. He estimated that although these merit points were not low in value, they were not particularly high either. Compared to the "Void Bank" and the vast amount of spacetime power obtained, the reduction in gains from this killing was within an acceptable range.

Su Xiao arrived at the room with the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber." The chamber door behind him closed, and he activated the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber."

【Prompt: This Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber has undergone deeper validation, as you are the founder of this attribute enhancement system. You have obtained the following permissions:】

1. Due to this deep validation, when more "Star Origin Spacetime Power" is needed to enhance physical attributes, the resulting "Spacetime Power" consumption increase will be greatly alleviated. (The alleviated "Spacetime Power" will be borne by the Reincarnation Paradise.)

2. Due to this deep validation, when you break through your current physical limits, you can obtain "Ultimate Healing Power" within the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber," thereby ensuring a higher success rate for this limit breakthrough.

……

The Extreme Boundary System has no such thing as an upper limit on bodily barriers. More precisely, it does exist, but one simply forces a breakthrough upon reaching it, without needing to undertake breakthrough tasks or preparations.

However, everything in the world has its pros and cons. This powerful, barbaric method of breaking limits undoubtedly carries corresponding risks, and that risk is death.

Yet, as the first person in the Reincarnation Paradise able to continuously enhance "Supreme Attributes" and even derive validation to create the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber," Su Xiao, as the first to eat crab, always reaps benefits—for example, this time he gained the ability to passively trigger "Ultimate Healing Power" at critical moments, greatly reducing the risk associated with Extreme Boundary System breakthroughs.

If future hunters also obtain the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber" and wish to gain this function, they will necessarily need to use "High-Permission Items" or "Important Mission Gains" to have a chance at acquiring it.

Su Xiao's "Power Origin" ability activated on its own, and the list for enhancing physical attributes appeared before him.

【To enhance current Supreme Physical Attributes, each point requires consuming 120,000 ounces of Spacetime Power.】

Su Xiao exchanged 1,920,000 ounces of "Spacetime Power" for 16 points of Supreme Attributes, beginning this allocation: +4 Strength, +4 Agility, +4 Stamina, +4 Intelligence.

Previously, he had considered whether to temporarily abandon Supreme Intelligence Attribute, first developing Strength, Agility, and Stamina—closely related to combat—until the last time, when 20 points of Supreme Attributes corresponded to an Extreme Boundary Passive, and a passive named "Wisdom of the Supreme Sage" appeared. This ability was simply miraculous.

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

Su Xiao selected "Yes." The Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber began operating. This feeling of the body being steadily and firmly enhanced had not been felt since his physical attributes ascended to "Supreme Attributes," when free attribute points could no longer be used for enhancement. Now, he experienced it again.

Three hours later, the Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber ceased operation. Su Xiao exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Even though it was only a 4-point increase across all primary attributes, he still felt a tremendous surge of power—a very pleasant sensation.

However, it was still not enough—far from enough. It was not that he was currently insufficiently strong, but that the next enemy he would face was too strong.

As the holder of the "Origin Stone·World," Su Xiao's confrontation with the Abyssal Lord was both a fate caused by this object and his own willingness to undertake it. To grow stronger, besides strengthening himself and pursuing the pinnacle, it was also to surpass those once-unattainable opponents.

In the past, Su Xiao need not even mention fighting a Death God—even touching an object highly causally related to the Death God could possibly corrode him to death through the deceitful power of ancient gods. Yet, step by step, he climbed to higher positions until, with a single slash, he slew the Death God and simultaneously shattered the entire Extinction Star. This feeling of growing stronger all along—no matter how many times he chose it—would still be this path, for it was simply too captivating.

【Prompt: All your Supreme Primary Attributes have reached 30 points. You may choose one from the following "Supreme Rank·Ultimate Passives" to enhance yourself.】

1. Extreme Boundary Heart·Supreme (Passive): Supreme Strength +1 point, Supreme Agility +1 point, Supreme Stamina +1 point, Supreme Intelligence +1 point.

Prompt: This ability is elevated from the "Extreme Boundary Heart" of the Peak Ladder.

2. Elemental Resonance (Passive): Current elemental affinity "Super Massive Increase," and you master the Elemental Dominion trait ability, along with related core abilities and multiple passive abilities (all abilities mastered this time will initially be Lv. EX).

3. Ultimate·Origin Life (Passive): Your maximum HP is increased to 80,000,000 points, and the Origin Life Force corresponding to each Life Core also increases from 50,000,000 HP to 80,000,000 HP.

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

……

As Su Xiao anticipated, the Extreme Boundary Passive with the "Supreme Sage" prefix indeed corresponded to Supreme Intelligence Attribute. However, in this enhancement, it no longer corresponded to "Strength, Agility" attributes, determining the first two benefits.

Su Xiao chose "Supreme Sage's Strategy." The next second, he felt his Origin Life Force begin to strengthen. The first change was that his HP cap reached 80,000,000 points.

Put simply, this is letting the HP bar, having reached its limit, extend a little further. Previously, when Su Xiao fought other contractors, he could see their HP bars, and the Tank class certainly had the longest HP bar.

If a contractor now had the courage to let him show his HP bar, they would undoubtedly only see its length and feel in their heart: "Damn, this time I'm dead for sure."

Previously, each Life Core corresponded to 50,000,000 HP. Now, each Life Core has surged to correspond to 80,000,000 HP. This means that even if an opponent has Life Core-piercing ability, Su Xiao's Life Cores can withstand more damage—colloquially, he is "tankier."

Besides "Ultimate·Origin Life," Su Xiao also chose "Extreme Boundary Heart·Supreme," both because his current elemental affinity is already high enough, and because he has always felt that the ability named "Extreme Boundary Heart" is the strongest among all his Extreme Boundary abilities.

The "Extreme Boundary Heart" at the Peak of Ultimate, besides granting +1 to all primary attributes, also has the following traits:

"You have completely shattered all bodily barriers, reaching your 'Absolute Limit.' Each Extreme Boundary Master's 'Absolute Limit' differs."

Now, the "Extreme Boundary Heart" corresponding to Supreme Attributes, besides enhancing +1 to all Supreme Primary Attributes, Su Xiao can clearly feel that this ability's limit extends far beyond this—indeed, it may very well be this ability's original form.

As an Extreme Boundary Master, whose specialty is "balance," Su Xiao prepared to enhance 10 primary attributes, then immediately upgrade the "Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow" ability by 10 levels.

No mistakes, no omissions, one shot, one hit, one in, one out, one look!

【To enhance Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow, Lv. 140, requires consuming 3,000,000 ounces of Spacetime Power, Primal Core ×200, and ten portions of "Initial Source Essence."】

The consumption of "Spacetime Power" and "Primal Core" surged, but fortunately, the demand for "Initial Source Essence" did not increase. Su Xiao chose to upgrade.

All "Primal Core" and "Initial Source Essence" shattered, mixed with "Spacetime Power" to form a special energy, absorbed by Su Xiao's body, beginning to rapidly enhance the "Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow" ability. This limit-breaking enhancement did not produce the previous anomalies, such as seeing certain scenes or sensing certain wonders.

This time, Su Xiao only felt himself—because the path he now advances upon has never been tread by anyone before. He has gone from being a tempered traveler on the Technique Master's path to reaching the limit that predecessors could reach. From now on, he is the one who opens this path.

Several hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes. This feeling was still good. He experienced throughout the enhancement of technique abilities and the exploration of unknown realms, like walking across a misty wilderness—where he walked, the mist dispersed.

Those who come later, if they can reach his current height, may perhaps see the scene where he nearly slew the Arcane Eternal Star with a single slash, or his future battle scenes, to comprehend how this path continues.

Activating the Attribute Enhancement Chamber, Su Xiao had just prepared to continue enhancing his physique when a prompt appeared.

【Since your Supreme Primary Attributes have reached 30 points, each subsequent point of Supreme Attribute enhancement will consume more "Star Origin Power." After comprehensive evaluation, you will need to consume 328,524 ounces of Spacetime Power for each subsequent point of Supreme Attribute enhancement.】

【Since you obtained the relevant permissions, the Reincarnation Paradise will bear a portion of your resource consumption.】

【Final determination completed. For each subsequent point of "Supreme Free Attribute Point" you form, you need to pay 200,000 ounces of Spacetime Power.】

……

Previously, when all attributes reached 20 points, the upgrade cost had increased, but under the validation mechanism's alleviation, it returned to 120,000 ounces. Now, at 30 points, although there is still considerable alleviation, the upgrade cost has reached 200,000 ounces per point.

Su Xiao naturally chose to continue. He invested a total of 7,200,000 ounces of Spacetime Power, gaining 36 points of Supreme Free Attributes. Since it was balanced development, Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence each increased by 9 points.

Several hours later, when the Attribute Enhancement Chamber ceased operation, Su Xiao completed the enhancement.

He took out the 【Miracle Secret Elixir】, drank the second portion in one gulp. This elixir can be consumed a second time at 40 points of Supreme Attributes. After drinking, he felt not bad—his whole body had a faint warmth. The level cap of "Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow" began to increase. After meditating and waiting for the elixir's effect to fully manifest, he took out two kinds of resources.

【To enhance Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow, Lv. 150, requires consuming 5,000,000 ounces of Spacetime Power, Primal Core ×200, and ten portions of "Initial Source Essence."】

Bad news: the cost to enhance Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow keeps rising.

Good news: as the upgrade cost increases, the enhancement per level surges significantly.

He viewed the completed Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow ability from this enhancement:

【Heavenly Edge Slash Shadow, Lv. 150 (Extreme Boundary Technique·Passive)】

Basic Effect: Overall technique strength increased by 1470% (increased by 720%).

Skill effect: Extreme Blade (exclusive passive)……

Current Extreme Blade·Foundation Strength: 506 points.

Extreme Realm Effect 1: Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash (Extreme Realm·Exclusive Passive)……

Extreme Realm Effect 2: Realm of No-Self (Extreme Realm·Exclusive Passive), entering the "Realm of No-Self" briefly forgets all past sword techniques, retaining only the current sword technique in use, elevating it to the utmost.

Current Realm of No-Self enhancement limit: 31.6 times technique power.

……

The battle between Su Xiao and the Mad King—why did the Mad King continuously explode at all costs throughout? The reason is, without doing so, he fundamentally couldn't fight; if the battle perspective were switched, it would actually be quite interesting.

In the Mad King's battle perspective, what he directly faces is an opponent who appears to have only a long sword in hand, lacking other imposing abilities, but the actual experience is not so.

What he faces is someone whose body is filled with crimson blood energy, whose long sword in hand possesses power so vast it cannot be resisted; magical attacks bombarding the opponent's body are like fireworks exploding upward—apart from being dazzling, they have no effect whatsoever. Oh, no, that's wrong—there is a slight effect: it can make the opponent frown, feeling annoyed and impatient. This is directly downgrading magical attacks to spiritual attacks!

Fighting to the end, in the Mad King's eyes, everything ahead is a crimson scene; the Arcane Eternal Star is stained by blood energy into raining blood rain. That figure holding a long sword, appearing as a human of about 1.8 meters, even if facing an eighty-one-meter-tall giant, would still be frightened into trembling and kneeling on the ground.

From the perspective of high-ranking spellcasters, this is a crimson blood rain, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind—a world-destroying asura. Even those heaven-sinning evil gods and wicked demons, facing this scene, confronting this law-destroyer holding a rising dark-blue smoke long sword, would be so frightened their legs tremble, daring not to move an inch.

Imagine facing such an aura and spirit of an enemy—the Arcane Eternal Star daring to launch a full-scale counterattack shows that the spellcaster faction, having been able to act as void overlords these years, indeed has reason.

Therefore, Su Xiao's battle perspective and the enemy's perspective when looking at him are completely different matters. He himself is quite satisfied with his basic attacks being the direction of ultimate skill development; during battle, in others' eyes, the strong sense of fear is maxed out—no, it's severely overflowing.

Of course, how exhilarating the battle feels, the usual resource consumption for improvement is correspondingly staggering. After Su Xiao checked his remaining spacetime power, he chose to elevate Abyssal Studies, as the Abyssal Campaign is approaching—it's time to max out this ability.

【To elevate Top-Tier Abyssal Studies to Lv. 100, a total of 440,000 ounces of spacetime power must be paid.】

Su Xiao chose to elevate it; a vast amount of Abyssal Studies knowledge surged into his mind. It must be said, without sufficiently high intelligence attribute and soul strength, mastering such a degree of Abyssal Studies is indeed very dangerous.

When the influx of Abyssal knowledge subsided, Su Xiao checked his naturally acquired Abyssal Studies and found this ability had become Lv. MAX. This situation gave him an idea: to try using golden skill points to elevate this ability, and it truly succeeded. Normally, after knowledge-type abilities are maxed out, they automatically transform into Lv. EX, but Abyssal Studies is obviously different.

He first tried investing 5 points—many abilities have a limit of 5 golden skill points. Finding he could still continue, he then invested another 2 points. Ultimately, he used a total of 10 golden skill points to max out Abyssal Studies.

When the Abyssal knowledge baptism was completely over, Su Xiao's eyes had a hint of darkness. Fortunately, this darkness began to fade with time. Having just elevated to Lv. EX of "Top-Tier Abyssal Studies," it gradually returned to simplicity, becoming "Abyssal Studies, Lv. EX."

【Abyssal Studies, Lv. EX (Passive)】

Skill effect: You have achieved a comprehensive understanding of the Abyss, possess more intuitive judgment and clearer comprehension of the dangers that Abyssal power can provoke, you know many causal origins of "Ancient Abyssal Entities," and also have the possibility to completely slay them.

……

Other things aside, but the point of "knowing many causal origins of Ancient Abyssal Entities" alone is worth those 400,000+ ounces of spacetime power. If Su Xiao truly succeeds in completely slaying one "Ancient Abyssal Entity" in the Abyssal Campaign, then in subsequent campaigns, wherever a powerful "Ancient Abyssal Entity" appears, he will likely be summoned to that side.

Su Xiao felt himself—his main attributes had reached 40 points of "Extreme Realm Passive," still in the process of continuous awakening. It seems he had only just grasped the main attributes 30 points of "Extreme Realm Passive" not long ago, causing this situation.

There remain 6,540,000 ounces of spacetime power. Su Xiao prepares to invest all into Supreme Attributes; subsequent Supreme Attributes will be gradually accumulated— the stronger the physique, the greater the confidence in facing "Ancient Abyssal Entities."

The cost of "Supreme Free Attribute Points" indeed increased, rising from 200,000 ounces per point to 300,000 ounces. He chose Strength +5, Agility +5, Stamina +6, Intelligence +5, totaling an increase of 21 Supreme Attributes.

When the Attribute Enhancement Warehouse ceased operation, Su Xiao, having completed this enhancement, checked his current data:

Name; Su Xiao (Hunter).

Level; LV. 105.

Life Core: 186/186 cores.

Azure Shadow King Energy: 78,420/78,420 points.

Supreme Strength: 45 points.

Supreme Agility: 45 points.

Supreme Stamina: 46 points.

Supreme Intelligence: 45 points.

True Charm: -130 points (-30 points).

True Luck Attribute: -10 points.

Fortune: -20,000,000 points.

……

The physique enhancement made Su Xiao very satisfied, but the charm attribute actually dropped significantly again, reaching an exaggerated -30 points in a single instance. Seeing this, he immediately took out the "Book of Original Sin" and further strengthened the seal on the "Fate Gold Coin," increasing the seal strength from the original 100% to 120%. After doing these, his thoughts seemed to broaden somewhat.

As for having just destroyed the Arcane Eternal Star, this being an act of carrying out heaven's will—how could it thus incur a charm penalty? Stop spouting nonsense.

However, this enhancement allowed Su Xiao's Life Core count to reach a new height, yet he suddenly felt it might still not be enough. When the time comes to clash with the Abyssal Lord, having sufficient Life Cores might perhaps be crucial,

but one thing can be certain: the Abyssal Lord's Life Core count is surely astonishingly high. In contrast, the "Dragon-Slaying Flash"'s "Demon Blade Slaying" becomes even more important.

Su Xiao glanced at the time; enhancing himself made time pass quickly. Originally intending to visit the Soul Grand Library, he now sees he doesn't have time, so he can only entrust the little elf·Popoli to deliver that 【Covenant Item】, with the required library silver coins deducted from the proceeds of this sale of the "Void Grand Library."

Su Xiao arrived at the Training Ground; this enhancement was so great that of course he needed to adapt. Before long, he arrived at the Inner Tenth Layer of the Ground of All Beings, where ascetic practice began.

After staying only a little over a day, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room, checked the remaining countdown, activated the Human Race Divine Skill—sleep. Seven or more hours later, he woke to the announcement tone. Whether in the Cycle Paradise or the Void Tree, past prompts had only half-transparent text appearing before the eyes, with no tone. This time, however, there was a tone, and the announcement text was blood-red.

【Announcement (Void Tree): As the Abyssal Gate is about to open in a few hours, the Abyssal Campaign is estimated to officially begin in 4 minutes and 59 seconds. All contractors, hunters, battle angels, death wanderers, etc., will proceed to their respective garrisoned worlds.】

【Prompt (Void Tree): You will, in 4 minutes and 59 seconds, go to the Void·Allied Headquarters' General Command Room, to meet with this campaign's "Void Theater General Commander" and "Logistics Chief," completing a three-way meeting.】

【After completing this meeting, you will participate in the first round of defense in the Void·Core Theater, and during this period, you may at any time reinforce the following five main battlefields.】

1. Myriad Races Realm (Allied Initial Advantage Theater).

2. Witch Realm.

3. Blazing Sun Star·Pre-Transcendence Realm (due to the Abyssal Gate's erosion of this realm, it has undergone just reinforcement; hunters can fight here with full force, no need to worry about battle destruction causing this realm's collapse).

4. Ancient Dragon Realm·Pre-Transcendence Realm (due to the Abyssal Gate's erosion of this realm, it has undergone just reinforcement; hunters can fight here with full force, no need to worry about battle destruction causing this realm's collapse).

5. Wind Sea Continent (Allied Initial Disadvantage Theater).

……
