Chapter 4209: Theft and Choice

Due to our side's five consecutive victories, the Abyssal Campaign experienced a brief intermission; for us, this was absolutely an advantage, not only allowing the Void Combatants who had fought hard until now to rest, but also causing the fungal carpet of the mother nest to begin spreading across the battlefield, extending all the way to the junction zone and even climbing to a height of several meters near the boundary wall.

Inside the headquarters, all combatants gathered here, as the campaign entered its second phase, the certification on the second floor of the headquarters was fully opened, with multiple portals available—some connecting to the Attribute Enhancement Hall, some to the Equipment Enhancement Hall, and even some linking to the Great Gathering Place; entering these portals, one would feel no teleportation sensation and arrive directly at the destination.

Thus, the portals were crowded with combatants exchanging merits for various strengthening resources to improve themselves; Su Xiao entered the massive portal with a sky-blue "" mark on top, the bloody aura around him dissipated, and he arrived at the somewhat familiar Initiation Paradise · Equipment Enhancement Hall.

There were many people in the Equipment Enhancement Hall; enhancing equipment is one of the fastest and most direct ways to boost combat power. As for why Su Xiao has always only enhanced weapons, as a Technique Master, he naturally prioritizes slaughter and offense; well, a Technique Master enhancing weapons is simply the limit of what resources can support—armor, rings, etc., cannot be significantly enhanced in large quantities.

【Welcome to use Equipment Enhancement Machine No. 11509.】

The tray of the equipment enhancement machine extended; Su Xiao placed the Dragon-Slaying Flash upon it, the metal tray retracted, and a prompt appeared.

【Equipment inspection complete. Dragon-Slaying Flash (Reincarnation Tier), if enhanced +21, requires consumption of one Primal Core.】

He took out 【Top-Grade Enhancement Stone】, pressed it into the equipment enhancement machine's slot, then took out 【Fate Reversal】, activating "Fortune's Power."

【Proceed with this enhancement?】

【Enhancing……】

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +22 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate accumulated to 49%; proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

Seeing this result, Su Xiao took out another 【Top-Grade Enhancement Stone】.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +23 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate accumulated to 72%; proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

Not stable enough; even after using 【Fate Reversal】, Su Xiao still did not prepare to enhance Dragon-Slaying Flash when the success rate was below 90%, so he used a third 【Top-Grade Enhancement Stone】 to ensure the next enhancement would be 100% successful.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +24 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate accumulated to 1.5%; proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

One can only say that after using 【Top-Grade Enhancement Stone】, this accumulated success rate became very erratic—after all, it is a 100% success rate, different from the accumulated success rate of regular enhancement—he took out the last 【Top-Grade Enhancement Stone】.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +25 successful.】

【This attempt's success rate accumulated to 89.9%; proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one "Primal Core" to perform this enhancement.】

A choice that causes inner turmoil; the problem is, if the enhancement of Dragon-Slaying Flash fails, its enhancement level resets to zero instantly, causing Dragon-Slaying Flash's sharpness to drop from 160,000 to over 6,000 points—this is the allure and risk of enhancement. Currently, enhancing Dragon-Slaying Flash to +25, if raised to +26, would immediately increase sharpness by 41,017 points.

【Dragon-Slaying Flash +25】

Origin: Shadow of Law's Extinction.

Quality: Reincarnation Tier · First Position.

Category: Long Blade.

Durability: 9500/9500 points.

Attack Power: 5290–5560 points.

Equipment Requirement: Shadow of Law's Extinction.

Supreme Blade Effect 1: Sharpness +164070 points (current highest sharpness among known weapons).

Supreme Blade Effect 2: Demon Blade (Core·Active……

Enhancement Effect: Ultimate Blade (Passive); for each +1 enhancement level, this weapon's sharpness increases by 25%.

Rating: 30000+++ points (Reincarnation-tier weapon rating ranges from 15000 to 30000 points).

Introduction: Slay gods, eradicate evil, cut down myriad foes, seize souls and spirits, cleanse the abyss of ultimate darkness.

……

The strongest Reincarnation-tier equipment appeared; the enhancement machine's tray extended, Su Xiao took out Dragon-Slaying Flash and returned it to its sheath, meanwhile closing a series of Initiation Paradise warnings—perhaps because he had slain too many Initiation Paradise contractors in the past; as for why he just came here to operate? No need to worry about such trivialities.

Walking toward the exit portal of the Enhancement Hall, upon returning to the headquarters, he received an email; upon checking, it was from Logistics Overseer Taylor, content: summon all peak powerhouses to the Council Hall for a strategic meeting.

Su Xiao arrived at the underground second level of the headquarters; upon entering the Council Hall, he saw small groups of people, some whispering, some chatting lightly; the entire Council Hall could be divided into two parts: individual main seats on both sides of the long conference table, and rows of stair-like seating on the outer side.

Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Am, Bahar, Benny, and Jila, under Su Xiao's leadership, successfully sat in the last row of the stair-like seating, and moreover, relatively close to the corner; one might ask, what should one do during a council? Small councils are generally important—one must vie for main seats to gain benefits; this council summoned 99% of the peak powerhouses of the Star Realm, so attendance was high; for such a large council, finding a corner spot to rest briefly is indeed a wise strategy.

Not long after, Am pulled out a super-large bag of potato chips over one meter tall; amidst the crunching sounds of Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Am, and Jila eating, Su Xiao, who had used Bahar's scarf as an eye mask, soon began emitting uniform, light snoring.

Half an hour later, the council began; the head of the regiment stood to speak; although they were all formalities, after a brief meaning, they went straight to the topic; Su Xiao's neighboring Bahar, the more he listened, the more something felt off; the regiment head spoke and spoke, then paused, asking the Logistics Overseer Taylor seated next to him:

"Has Bai Ye not arrived yet?"

"That shouldn't be; the Red Earl said he saw him arrive."

Upon hearing this, the regiment head immediately understood what was happening; of course, in such a setting, one cannot perceive the spreading; he gazed far and wide, immediately spotting on that row of corner seats, someone leaning back, sleeping soundly—this was precisely the person he was seeking.

Shortly after, Su Xiao, who had just woken up feeling somewhat dazed, sat in the main seat beside the regiment head; the regiment head had been speaking for a long time; although Su Xiao understood, he was also very drowsy—this was due to the impending awakening of the 100-point supreme attribute corresponding ability; his drowsy expression caused the corner of the mouth of Sun·Seth seated diagonally opposite to twitch; he had not expected that this violent, slaughterous god of killing would usually have a somewhat carefree demeanor.

"That's how it is; I won't say more; I'll tell everyone I'm tired."

After Logistics Overseer Taylor finished speaking, she immediately glared at the regiment head, saying: "You promised your friend would back me up? You two bastards—one late, the other came and then found a place to nap—two bastards! You're reliable when needed, but can't you be reliable in ordinary times too!"

"Bai Ye."

When the regiment head, in response to Holy Song·Samantha's proposal on opinions regarding "Destroying the Three Nodes," lowered his voice to speak to Su Xiao,

"Huh?"

Su Xiao responded without changing expression.

"What ability are you awakening, to be this exhausted?"

The regiment head naturally saw that his old friend was truly fatigued, with life fluctuations showing signs of lethargy, but that astonishing total life force was not something that could be possessed by just dozens or hundreds of life cores.

"Extreme Boundary Ability."

"Corresponding to how many supreme attributes?"

"100."

"Go rest?"

"No, we'll talk later."

"Then you persist."

After the regiment head finished speaking softly, he immediately took over the topic from Sun·Seth on the council floor and began discussing this session's closure of the second Abyssal Gate, namely, the council on Destroying the Three Nodes.

The three key points are respectively located in the Land of Forgetting, the Black Abyss, and the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom, where the Black Abyss and the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom are both regions of the Void, and the problem is that both of these places are occupied territories of the Abyssal faction.

What makes it more troublesome is that these three key points must be destroyed simultaneously; if the destruction times differ by more than five seconds, it will trigger their resonance, causing the destroyed key point to repair itself.

Currently, the three key points are in a state of power boiling, and they will only gradually calm down after more than seventy hours, which is also the best time to destroy them. However, after the three key points stabilize in resonance for several days, the second Abyssal Gate will complete its opening, meaning the number of Abyssal legions in the Void battlefield will double.

Even worse, the resonance properties of the first two Abyssal Gates will cause the third Abyssal Gate to open rapidly; by then, the number of Abyssal legions will increase by another batch, and with our current defensive strength, defeat is certain.

Of course, we cannot simply wait seventy-plus hours to destroy the "Gate Node." The team leader took out three items resembling Rubik's cubes, overall made of semi-transparent crystalline material; this item is called the "Temporal-Spatial Interference Device," with a total of three units, which are the tolerances left from destroying the "Gate Node" in the previous Abyssal campaign.

Although our side's lineup is stronger this time, it does not mean there were no capable people in the previous Abyssal campaign. Unfortunately, the violator who originally created a total of six "Temporal-Spatial Interference Devices" has died.

This time's plan is: in twelve hours, a total of three teams will be dispatched to destroy the three "Gate Nodes" located in the Land of Forgetting, the Black Abyss, and the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom. These three "Gate Nodes" will certainly be heavily guarded, and many Abyssal clans and ancient Abyssal entities will be present to defend them.

The ideal small-team configuration is: the team leader handles one, Su Xiao handles one, and finally, the last one is handled by a team composed of eighty percent of our side's peak powerhouses.

Unfortunately, the team leader cannot leave the main base; now, the Abyssal High Seat and our side's core Abyssal purification device appear to be worlds apart, even not in the same world. However, the Abyssal Lord who controls the Abyssal High Seat and the team leader who controls the core Abyssal purification device are facing each other from afar. If either side suddenly leaves the vicinity of the High Seat or the device, the other will immediately detect it through changes in the overall Abyssal/elemental forces of the Star Realm, and will become aware at once.

Let alone the fact that if the team leader leaves the main base, the Abyssal Lord will notice, causing our side's surprise plan to fail. At that time, the Abyssal Lord will personally appear at a random location among the three key points. Therefore, maintaining the current standoff between the team leader and the Abyssal Lord is the best choice.

In this way, the assaulting strong team becomes: Su Xiao's team, and our side's eighty percent peak powerhouses split into two teams, one of which is led by Sun·Seth, who is currently the strongest Death Ranger in Death Paradise and also the strongest Necromancy system in the entire Star Realm.

Originally, it was thought that Solomon's Necromancy + Archmage + Technique-based would be enough to blow things up, but this one is Necromancy + Solar System. No matter how you look at it, Necromancy + Solar System is stronger, because making all Necromancy summons undergo solar explosions, and having solar properties, is a feasible and powerful combination. But making all Necromancy summons have technique abilities? That's just wishful thinking.

However, there is a huge gap in strength between Solomon and Sun·Seth; how far Solomon can go in the future remains unknown. Moreover, due to his poverty, Solomon has almost abandoned technique abilities. Solomon's advantage lies in: after the enemy breaks through the massive army of Necromancy summons, they successfully face off against a technique-based Archmage.

The other team's leader is quite unexpected: a violator from Dawn Paradise, named Eternal One·Aqius, whom many call the Karma Devourer. His experience is both legendary and inspiring.

While Dawn Paradise and Reincarnation Paradise were still contending, Aqius was already a ninth-rank violator. He has always adhered to one principle: he can lose, but he cannot die. His ability is: after killing others, he devours their karma, strengthening himself while also greatly extending his lifespan.

Therefore, even if someone can fight better than him, they certainly cannot live as long as he can. After Dawn Paradise fell silent, Aqius survived the Reincarnation vs. Dawn Paradise Paradise争夺战 by relying on his extremely strong life-preserving methods and his top-tier predictive ability in the Star Realm regarding danger.

The team leader knows of this ultimate powerhouse, but did not pursue him afterward, because it would be meaningless—this guy is hard to kill and poses little danger. As long as his life is not involved, he will find a place to peacefully enjoy life.

Aqius is greedy for life, greedy for wealth, lustful, fond of food, addicted to alcohol, and still frequents the major luxurious casinos of the Star Realm. The evaluation of him is: although his conduct is despicable, he indeed lived a life of unrestrained freedom.

What outsiders do not know is that Aqius's strength has never ceased for a moment. Whenever a powerhouse dies, he can faintly sense it and will quietly go to devour the gradually dissipating karma remnants of that powerhouse.

When Dawn Paradise revived, Aqius received a forced conscription. He immediately refused to become one of the representative figures of violators corresponding to the authorization. His limit is accepting to be ranked second, preferably third; as for being ranked first, he absolutely refuses. Added to that, the priest is indeed strange, and Aqius does not want nor wish to contend with him; he even refuses to meet the priest.

Aqius does not believe he has the intelligence of an old silver coin, but he has gone through many calculations by old silver coins. The conclusion is: as long as he hides to the extreme, no one will dare to scheme against him.

Dawn Paradise's revival naturally brought Aqius many benefits. Aqius, who was already accumulating power to the extreme among powerhouses, quickly advanced to Peak Powerhouse. But this way, his path of advancement is cut off—no one dies at Peak Powerhouse for many years.

Until not long ago, Aqius went to the Perishing Star in the midst of collapse and the Arcane Eternal Star in the midst of collapse. For this, Aqius considered whether he should proactively give some compensation to that hunter to establish a good karmic connection, after all, these two major opportunities were created by that hunter. But later he thought better of it, in case that powerful hunter suddenly slashes down with one blade—then that day would collapse.

Just as Aqius was preparing to continue his past life, the Abyssal campaign broke out. For this, Aqius prepared to contribute but not to take the lead, following behind to get through this calamity—just surviving until the last batch would be enough, entering the protected zone certified by the Void Tree.

He has confidence that he can keep hiding in the protected zone until the Abyssal era ends, the Star Realm opens a new era of living beings, and the civilization of the new era gradually flourishes, after which he will come out to enjoy.

Aqius's creed is just one sentence: "I, Old Father, am certainly not the strongest fighter, but I, Old Father, can be the longest-lived. As long as my lifespan exceeds that of the calamity disaster, the calamity disaster is merely a dark period in my life."

But upon hearing a piece of news, Aqius widened his eyes. This generation's Abyssal Lord is the strongest Abyssal Lord, whose goal is to destroy the exterior of the Star Realm, letting it enter an eternal Abyssal era. Moreover, the protected zone of the Void Tree has not yet completed repairs and cannot be entered.

Aqius immediately chose to step forward, and in a complete change from his previous style of being able to hide superbly, he now is: because he wants to live too much, he has brought out all his accumulated strength, and without realizing it, became one of the representative figures of Dawn Paradise on this side. Added to that, after the Abyssal campaign began, he can devour more peak karma.

Because of his overly valiant performance on the Void Battlefield, Aqius became the captain of the third team. This guy, who loves his own life to the extreme, will, for the sake of survival, bet everything on completing the destruction of the "Gate Nodes." Once the three Abyssal Gates open, then it will truly be impossible to fight.

The three teams have been assigned, but which team is responsible for which "Gate Node" has become a problem. The Land of Forgetting is the lowest-risk among the three "Gate Nodes." In contrast, the Black Abyss and the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom, being in enemy-occupied territory, are both very dangerous, especially the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom, which was the old nest of the Abyssal Dragon.

Although all three teams fear no danger, they are all making the same contribution. Certainly, all would prefer to face lower risk, for life is only one. In the Abyssal campaign, the peak realm is truly a place of death, unlike before when both sides clashed for decades with numerous casualties, yet neither side's peak realm ever engaged in a fight to the death.

The latest novel is now released!

"Let's draw lots."

Eternal One·Aqius proposed, and everyone present expressed agreement.

"You draw."

Su Xiao spoke. Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a few degrees of joy in their eyes. This hunter's attitude represents: let the other two teams choose first among the three "Gate Nodes," leaving the most dangerous one for him to take. With such a confident strong thigh, everyone present felt a few degrees more at ease.

The final result was: the Sun Team is responsible for the "Gate Node" in the Land of Forgetting, the Eternal Team is responsible for the "Gate Node" in the Black Abyss, and the Bai Ye Team is responsible for the "Gate Node" in the Abyssal Dragon's Bottom. Action will begin in twelve hours.

Just as the meeting was about to conclude, the Logistics Supervisor·Talyier stood up and said: "Everyone, there is still one matter to be decided with you all, and……this matter is non-, common-, se-, ri-, ously."

The Logistics Supervisor·Talyier said the last word, uttering it syllable by syllable, her gaze falling on the group of violators led by Eternal One·Aqius, leaving the violators utterly bewildered. Worth mentioning is that, previously in the God's World, the opposing soul faction·Bell Tower Master·Seilgofre was also now among the violators.

"What matter?"

The Black Initiation Star of the Dawn Paradise spoke. Regarding his big sister's statement, he, who had always been listless, now showed a solemn look in his eyes. In the Dawn Paradise, no strong person has failed to receive favors from this big sister.

"Recently, due to unknown reasons, the storage of temporal-spatial power in Dawn Paradise has fluctuated, plummeting by tens of millions! And after I consulted the relevant situation, I was met with permission restrictions, and moreover, double permission restrictions. You all should know: if the time of this campaign is prolonged, our main base's current reserves of temporal-spatial power will be insufficient. I will apply to Dawn Paradise for resource replenishment. Now, some force, or some individual, actually dares to do this."

The Logistics Supervisor·Talyier said the last word, then slammed the table with a single hand, a loud bang. Everyone was actually surprised by her permission level in the Dawn Paradise faction—she could even inquire into Dawn Paradise's temporal-spatial power reserves. Although saying this is entirely due to the current Abyssal campaign's special certification and her own certification identity as Logistics Supervisor, it still seems somewhat incredible.

One can think that since the Logistics Supervisor·Talyier, like the team leader, participated in the previous Abyssal campaign and survived, having permission so high it's absurd is not so absurd after all. Furthermore, this time Dawn Paradise was robbed of tens of millions of temporal-spatial power, causing everyone present to erupt in an uproar. This quantity is indeed too astonishing.

The Logistics Supervisor·Talyier simply said, without shocking words, she would not rest until angry: "A full fifty million quantity level of temporal-spatial power!"

After saying that, the Logistics Supervisor·Talyier again looked toward the group of violators. Seeing this, Eternal One·Aqius was so angry his cheeks twitched. He was about to say, "What right do you have to suspect us?" but immediately recalled what the violators have always done, and his heart suddenly sank. His thought instantly turned into: "Which violator did this? Has he gone mad?"

As for on what grounds to suspect them, on what grounds not to suspect them—violators are not the problem of bad reputation. The issue is that, having this happen, if one does not first suspect the violators, then it belongs to looking down on all the violators present.

Originally feeling a bit drowsy, Su Xiao, upon hearing that Dawn Paradise's temporal-spatial power reserves had been stolen, immediately shook off a few degrees of drowsiness, watching the spectacle—no one would refuse. But the more he listened to Talyier's words, the more Su Xiao felt something was off. When he heard the words "a full fifty million quantity level of temporal-spatial power," he was not the slightest bit drowsy.

Su Xiao has already solved the case. He previously used the "Highest Rank Permission of Dawn Paradise" obtained from winning the Wind Sea Campaign on his "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber," causing the enhancement cost of the "Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Chamber" to be permanently fixed at 350,000 ounces of temporal-spatial power per point of supreme attribute. Thereafter, no matter how much temporal-spatial power is lacking, Dawn Paradise will make up for it.

Before, he had raised his supreme attribute by 24 points, paying 33,600,000 ounces of temporal-spatial power himself. According to his rough calculation, Dawn Paradise likely made up for about 48,000,000 ounces of temporal-spatial power.

Based on Talyier's spoken figure of 50,000,000 ounces of temporal-spatial power, well, one really cannot say otherwise—this time, the estimated 48,000,000 ounces is actually quite accurate.

The people in the conference hall were discussing in a buzz, among whom of course were those skilled in reasoning. The more they reasoned, the guiltier the violator brothers felt. Su Xiao remained expressionless. Just then, he actually received a message from the team leader beside him, and moreover, it was a friendly chat between Reincarnation Imprint and Reincarnation Imprint.

Team Leader: "You did it?"

Bai Ye: "No."

Team Leader: "What ability did you enhance? Can you consume tens of millions of temporal-spatial power at once?"

Bai Ye: "Supreme attribute."

Team Leader: "Oh~, it's my oversight. Is it that one and only exclusive attribute enhancement chamber? How many supreme attribute points do you enhance at once? So expensive?"

Bai Ye: "24 points."

Team Leader: "The cost-performance ratio is not high."

Bai Ye: "All attributes 24 points."

Team Leader: "Bai Ye, you say, after reaching the Supreme Realm, can one still advance to the Extreme Realm system?"

……

Su Xiao said nothing, and thus, the two hunters in the first and second seats sat calmly without showing any emotion, while the Battle Angel in the third seat angrily denounced the true culprit, and the Violator·Eternal·Achis in the eighth seat began to sweat on his forehead.

In the end, everyone decided that it was still best for the hunters, who are skilled at investigation, to handle this matter, and since Su Xiao is the captain of the reinforcement team and there is no defensive line that needs to be held, this matter was happily decided upon—Su Xiao would take the opportunity to investigate the "Theft Case" of the Time-Space Power of the Initiation Paradise.

This decision was approved by most of those present, and Su Xiao and the Team Leader accepted the proposal, because as Tali'er, with an angry expression and unpleasant demeanor, sat down, she had just taken her seat when she turned her head to look at the two emotionless people beside her, and suddenly, she had a feeling—these two guys, how could they make her feel that one is an insider and the other is the mastermind behind everything?

After the meeting ended, Su Xiao went to his private restroom on the upper level of the headquarters, and just as he lay down to rest for a moment, he felt a throbbing coming from his storage space; he took out an object—it was the "Origin Stone·World," which had fully revealed its true form upon his ascension to the Supreme Realm.

【Origin Stone·World】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise (determined by the location at the time of synthesis).

Type: Special Equipment.

Durability: 20000/20000 points (increased by 2000 points).

Equipment Effect 1: Meditator (Passive)—If a hunter carries the Origin Stone on their person, each meditation session increases their current meditation progress by 15%.

Equipment Effect 2: Strength (Passive)—No change.

Equipment Effect 3: Sealing (Passive)—No change.

Equipment Effect 4: Peak (Passive)—Your "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" ability is permanently enhanced four times (awaiting activation state).

Equipment Effect 5: World·Heaven's Choice (Passive)—You become the "Unique·Heaven's Chosen," with your fortune cap increased by 7,050,000 points.

Current fortune cap: 50,000,000 points.

Introduction: You are the "Heaven's Chosen," and also the only one.

Sale Price: Cannot be sold, cannot be traded, cannot be transferred—if you die, this "Origin Stone" will shatter into five pieces, scattered to random areas of the Star Boundary.

……

Su Xiao activated the "Origin Stone·World" in his hand; the already drowsy him immediately fell into deep sleep due to this enhancement.

Ten hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes—this time, upon waking, he did not feel the usual momentary confusion as before, but instead felt exceptionally full of spirit. He checked the first few prompts in the series of notifications, which were:

【Extreme Realm·Star Boundary ability has completed this enhancement, with an enhancement magnitude of four times.】

【Extreme Realm·Star Boundary: Lv. MAX++++++++ (Transcendent Level·Active/Passive)】

Active Effect: You fully unleash the might of your technique master, influencing the Star Boundary operation within a 500,000-meter radius (increased by 450,000 meters), putting this area into a "Star Boundary Stasis" state for 10 seconds (since Extreme Realm·Star Boundary has not undergone advancement, this is the current maximum sustainable duration).

Prompt: Because you have further mastered the "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" with "inherent traits," you can now freely toggle the "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" on and off, and even briefly activate it for as little as 1 second.

Prompt: This ability can only be used once per natural day (totaling 10 seconds), which is the extreme usage interval derived from this trait.

Passive Effect: You have gained deeper insight into the Star Boundary, mastering "One of the Star Boundary's Higher Rules·The Rhythm of Life." When your life core is completely shattered and you are about to die, you will trigger a large amount of "Star Boundary Origin Power" to resist this death. You will 100% resist this death while gaining a continuous 5-second "Invincible State" (increased by 2 seconds), and immediately restore your current life core by 47%.

Prompt: This ability can be activated in any environment, even if you are in the Abyss/Elemental environment, or even in a Chaotic environment, it can still be triggered.

Prompt: This effect has a very long cooldown, determined by your Origin Life Force volume.

……

【Your "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" ability has reached its maximum duration, i. e., 10 seconds. You may now make a fateful choice—i. e., the continuation advancement choice for the "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" ability—select one from the following three traits.】

1. Star Boundary Insight: Gain further insight into a Star Boundary power, obtaining a second passive effect for the "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary."

2. Boundary Breaker: During Star Boundary Stasis, you will gain a boost from Star Boundary power, restoring your current damage while receiving significant temporary benefits.

Prompt: If you choose this trait, your "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary" influence range will be fixed at 100,000 meters, with the maximum duration increased to 15 seconds.

3. Absolute Stasis: Raise the stasis range to cover the entire world region you are in, and even after further enhancement, you can stasis the entire Star Boundary, with the maximum stasis duration being 3 seconds.

Prompt: Absolute Stasis can suppress other Stasis Star Boundary abilities within the same system, even nullify their effects.

Prompt: Enhancing this ability's level will not increase duration, but will further strengthen the stasis degree on the Star Boundary.

Prompt: If you choose this ability, it will detach the current passive trait of the "Extreme Realm·Star Boundary," making it a standalone trait called "Extreme Realm Passive" ability, and its strength will be increased.

……

Unfortunately, among the three choices, there is no option like "Wisdom of the Supreme Sage" that allows you to have it all. Su Xiao began to consider how to make this crucial decision.
