Chapter 329: Logistics Base, Shaping the Ten Thousand Phenomena

"Guide, can a Soul Beast devour the End Beast, then fuse the pseudo-rule imprint within the End Beast's body, and finally craft it into a special Painful Painful Minghun similar to a summon?"

Facing the inquiry, the Guide gave an answer:

【Feasible, but the rules related to Soul Beasts are not within the Challenger system; this portion of rule power must be completely reshaped and then docked with the Challenger system. This requires a considerable Shou Shou Jili consumption. Secondly, crafting a pseudo-rule also requires extra expenditure... The total is 4.29 million Shou Shou Jili. Essentially, this is crafting a Painful Painful Minghun from a Soul Beast and a pseudo-rule. Your End Beast's proportion in the combination process is very small; it only provided flesh and blood energy, meaning it provided attributes.】

【Secondly, fusing two different rules into one rule creates a severe logical conflict between the Soul-Shaping rule and the Devouring pseudo-rule. You need a rule-level framework to constrain these two logical abilities. Building this framework for you requires an additional 7 million Shou Shou Jili.】

Hearing the Guide's quote, Xiao Xiao Fa was startled.

The former was acceptable, but the latter, a framework for fusing different rule powers, costing 7 million, was simply an astronomical price.

"Wait, rule framework... will this work?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Xiao Fa took a pitch-black fragment from his spatial bag.

This was the rule fragment he had purchased for 800,000 Shou Shou Jili back then: Dead March.

【Feasible, but this rule framework is not compatible with the Soul-Shaping rule and the Devouring pseudo-rule, so 1 million is still needed to simply modify the rule framework. The total is 5.29 million Shou Shou Jili.】

With feasibility confirmed, Xiao Xiao Fa immediately perked up.

The pseudo-rule "Devour" within the End Beast is energy derived from the source of the Spirit Breath World, collected and crafted by War Priests after years of accumulation.

Since the birth of the Spirit Breath Clan, only eight pseudo-rule imprints have been created over the long accumulation of ages.

They are each controlled by the eight strongest leaders of the Spirit Breath Clan.

That is, the current Eight Kings.

The Super Beasts they ride each have a pseudo-rule imprint fused into their bodies.

If a previous King dies, the pseudo-rule imprint is stripped out and fused into the body of the Super Beast ridden by the new King.

The pseudo-rule grants the Super Beast the "Devour Optimization" ability.

This is completely different from the Soul Beast's devouring and soul usurpation.

A Soul Beast's devouring and soul usurpation directly grants all non-rule system abilities of the opponent, including memories, combat talents, thought logic, and so on.

But the Soul Beast has an obvious shortcoming.

Although the body can infinitely expand with external power, the life form cannot achieve full compatibility.

Suppose a Soul Beast devours a bird and a fish.

Then, in fish form, although it has fused the bird's physical attributes, it cannot possess the ability to flap wings and fly.

Qi-blood strength, spiritual power strength, memory banks... these can all be fused; only the construction of the life form will have incompatibility issues.

That is to say, a Soul Beast can perfectly inherit the intrinsic traits of the devoured life, but cannot break through the underlying logical constraints of the life form.

It is like a computer capable of installing infinite plugins; although it can constantly expand its database and computing power, it is ultimately limited by the physical characteristics of its basic architecture.

When a Soul Beast devours a bird, it can fully inherit the bird's muscle memory, visual nerve reactions, and even the talent for perceiving air currents.

After devouring a fish, it can similarly perfectly replicate the fish's breath-holding ability, water pressure adaptation mechanism, and sensory system.

But some talents, during use, will still be limited by the specific form of the life.

Besides wings, this includes parts of the internal life structure which, due to compatibility issues, can only exist partially, causing a certain special talent to fail to manifest.

Using real-world animals as an example: when a Soul Beast attempts a cheetah's sprint in snake form.

The multi-directional joint structure of a snake's spine is destined to be unable to store power in a single direction like a cheetah, ultimately causing only bone dislocation.

Therefore, a Soul Beast is a specialized type of devouring that approaches perfection in certain aspects under a specific form.

It strengthens a single life form by stacking attributes.

Unlike the Soul Beast's "compatible usurpation," the Super Beast's devouring mechanism is extreme, ruthless genetic optimization.

Like the most obsessive engineer, it will ruthlessly disassemble, screen, and reconstruct the life blueprint of every devoured target, keeping only the gene fragments most valuable to the current form.

When a Super Beast devours an eagle,

it might quickly grow a pair of wings, retaining the lightweight structure of the bone wings and the aerodynamic genes of the feathers.

Then it discards the weak digestive system of birds and other parts that cannot strengthen the Super Beast's life form.

After successful devouring, the Super Beast possesses the ability to fly using wings.

Devouring other life forms is the same; the Super Beast can implant relevant genes into its body through optimization, transforming itself into a life form with three heads, six arms, and multiple pairs of wings.

Comparing the two, the Super Beast is not limited by its original form like the Soul Beast; every devouring is an optimization of itself.

The downside is that every devouring involves severe waste, unable to absorb as thoroughly as a Soul Beast.

The Soul Beast's shortcoming is that many abilities have incompatibilities, but a single life can be strengthened by stacking attributes.

Combining the two allows the Super Beast to optimize its life form while the matter discarded by the Super Beast becomes energy for the Soul Beast to enhance its attributes.

Achieving perfect absorption and growth.

A simple explanation is:

The Soul Beast is like a library; the more books (devoured lives) it has, the better. The more books, the higher the Soul Beast's efficiency in flipping through them, but it can only open one book to read at a time (limited by current form).

The Super Beast is like a furnace; it burns all books into pulp, removes impurities, and then reprints them into new books it wants.

These two characteristics can fully complement each other.

The Guide's answer made Xiao Xiao Fa feel he had found a brand new path.

In the future, the Spirit Breath Clan will inevitably face countless wars; some targets are available for devouring. Perhaps he can forge a super life collective during the wars.

The only headache is the high cost of Shou Shou Jili.

But he did not feel this price was problematic.

Years ago, when the "Headmaster" of the Toddler Group crafted a rule-type special Painful Painful Minghun, he also consumed over 1.2 million Shou Shou Jili, yet what he obtained was not even a finished rule-level Painful Painful Minghun.

This time, I am fusing three forces, so it will definitely cost more Shou Shou Jili.

Among them, the Soul Beast whose main rule is in the hands of the Soul Return Clan will also require a considerable expenditure for purification and reshaping.

Now, at the critical moment of the Spirit Breath Clan's development, spending over 5 million Shou Shou Jili to craft a special Painful Painful Minghun will indeed affect the Spirit Breath Clan's development speed in the coming period.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Xiao Fa finally decided to craft this special Painful Painful Minghun.

This portion of the revenue will sooner or later be earned back through mining.

Spirit ore is a hot-selling commodity in the Trading Hall, with no shortage of buyers.

Especially spatial-type ore; listed at normal prices, it gets snapped up instantly.

After a Soul Beast devours a Super Beast, the Soul Beast inherits the Super Beast's attributes and possesses a Life Level Strength of 112+.

Switching to Mining Machine form, the mining efficiency will surely take off.

Whose mining tool has a Hunting Level of 112? At least in the current player camp, no one has encountered such an awesome mining tool.

Of course, the energy beams of the Mechanical Overlord used for mining are an exception.

But before starting the operation, he must first gather enough Shou Shou Jili.

Purchasing the Soul Beast cost 800,000; his current balance is only 1,298,000, insufficient to pay for crafting the Special Painful Painful Minghun.

This problem is not difficult to solve.

The entire Lingxi Clan produces Shou Shou Jili every minute and every second; all he needs to do is plan future directions and regularly collect the produced Shou Shou Jili.

Returning to Lingxi City, Xiao Xiao Fa went straight to the underground resource warehouse area.

This storage center, constructed from a mix of living organisms and ore, is divided into three clearly defined functional zones.

The first zone is the Spirit Plant Storage Area.

Inside are dry, ventilated stone chambers with trellises neatly arranged.

Spirit Plants of different attributes are classified and stored here.

Divided into low-temperature zones, high-temperature zones, high-spirit zones, and so on.

Although he possesses the Xing Nang Jie warehouse, capable of perfectly preserving all resources.

But after all, he is not a warehouse manager; often busy outside, he cannot arrive at any time.

So he decided to build a complete Spirit Plant Storage Area here, ensuring that harvested Spirit Plants do not suffer quality degradation due to external influences.

At this moment, the Spirit Plants have already been classified, making it convenient for him to collect and list them directly.

Standing before the first row, he waved his hand to store the Spirit Plant named "Divine Shirt Wood" into the Xing Nang Jie, then opened the Sacrifice Di Zhao De Jie interface.

To determine the price.

The valuation formula publicly released by the Gold Coin Guild, he found very useful.

Simply placing the spirit material price into the Sacrifice Di Zhao De Jie interface, obtaining the sacrifice price, and then multiplying by a fixed coefficient allows one to skip quality and weight judgments, directly obtaining an accurate price with no deviation whatsoever.

As for the fixed coefficient, it can be obtained by comparing the latest transaction prices on the Trading Hall.

After pricing and listing this batch of Spirit Plants on the Trading Hall, the Challenger notification rang in his mind the next second.

【Challenger Notification: Listed 203 units of Level 2 Spirit Plant "Divine Shirt Wood", obtained Shou Shou Jili revenue: 39,282 (fees deducted).】

Selling resources on the Trading Hall within the normal price range basically guarantees instant sales.

Since the volume of resources he listed on the Trading Hall is large, sales efficiency is always the priority; for ordinary resources, there is absolutely no need to play the stockpiling and high-price waiting game.

The only thing that pains him is the transaction fee; every shipment involves a large expense.

As batch after batch of Spirit Plants were quickly listed on the Trading Hall, the balance figure on the Xing Nang Jie interface began to rise rapidly.

After selling all resources in the Spirit Plant zone, he actually received 937,000 Shou Shou Jili.

The transaction fee was 49,300 Shou Shou Jili.

With the clearance finished, he turned and went to the Spirit Ore Storage Area.

This resource storage area has no special structures; the entire hall is filled with Spirit Ore of different qualities sorted and piled up.

Divided into five storage points according to quality.

Among them, spatial-type Spirit Ore is placed in a separate storage point.

He first went to the Star Pattern Stone pile, the highest value, stored all the Star Pattern Stones into the Xing Nang Jie, and then sold them at a 10% premium over the normal price.

This is the only resource he sells at a premium.

Spatial-type resources on the Trading Hall are basically all listed at high prices; listed at normal prices, they get snapped up instantly.

In the entire trading list, one cannot find a single Void Origin Stone at a normal price.

After his Star Pattern Stones were listed, the quantity decreased rapidly, and Challenger notifications kept ringing in his mind.

Finally, this batch of Star Pattern Stones sold for 568,000 Shou Shou Jili; after deducting fees, he received 539,600 Shou Shou Jili.

The remaining ordinary Spirit Ore does not sell as well as Spirit Plants.

The scope of use for Spirit Plants within the player camp is far greater than that of ordinary Spirit Ore.

Involving the Alchemy System, Spirit Chef players, Fishing Party players, and so on.

Especially after the Alchemy System went online, huge quantities of Spirit Plants were fed into alchemy furnaces every day to craft Evolution Pills and other various efficacy pills.

As for the use of Spirit Ore, aside from a few major guilds using it for infrastructure and equipment construction in external regions, the rest is consumed by the growth-type pet "Mechanical Guard"; its development and usage are far less widespread than Spirit Plants.

After listing all resources from the Spirit Ore Storage Area on the Trading Hall, he finally received 1.39 million Shou Shou Jili.

Finally, he arrived at the Special Item Storage Area.

The main items stored in this area are various props designed by him for his fellow villagers.

He specifically opened a prop and food production point within the Lingxi Clan; non-combat personnel of eligible age go to this area to work every day.

The types of props produced are numerous.

For example, the silk spun by Glow Spiders is made into fishing lines there and listed on the Trading Hall at finished product prices.

They can be sold for several times the price of the raw resources themselves.

Fishing Party players will continuously consume and purchase them, after all, fishing lines are themselves a Xiao Hao Pin.

Regarding food, it mainly features "Specialty Flower Brew" from the Phantom Flower Plain region, focusing on good quality and low price.

Others include poison-dipping potions used by Assassin-style players, fishing rods, flower brew, portable tents, monster-baiting sachets, and other props.

The profit comes from the earnings his fellow villagers are too lazy to generate themselves.

The categories he chose were all goods that players consumed heavily and would purchase continuously, leaving no possibility of them remaining unsold.

Every morning, the warriors of the Lingxi Clan would bring the items crafted the previous day to this place; after the warehouse guards carefully verified the quantities, specialized keepers would sort and store them.

He only needed to arrive at intervals, store the items in his spatial satchel, and list them to complete the work.

In the next phase, once the breeding farm was put into use, he would also build a slaughterhouse in the western district of Lingxi City.

After all, living creatures could not be listed on the trading market.

By then, a preservation warehouse would also be built here to assist him in regularly listing spirit beast meat, spirit beast bones, and even bait needed by the fishing party players on the trading market.

If only he could connect with the Gold Coin Guild, he would even want to cooperate with the Gold Coin Guild to undertake some material processing and infrastructure construction work.

For instance, the construction project on Dream Island.

What the Lingxi Clan lacked least right now was human resources.

Securing work from the Gold Coin Guild would allow the Lingxi Clan to generate more foreign exchange Shou Shou Jili revenue.

This idea could only be implemented in the future, on the day the Lingxi Clan qualified to join the player faction.

He hoped that by then he could wash away his "sins" and lead the Lingxi Clan to integrate into the player faction.

He knew very well that the Lingxi Clan's greatest reliance at this stage was never the various technologies, nor the rule imprints currently being researched and forged.

It was him, as a player.

Even if the Lingxi Clan possessed rules, they could not compare to his value.

Because as a player, he was himself a collection of rules.

The trading market, forum guides, player Shangcheng... the player authorities he brought to the Lingxi Clan were the true trump card allowing the Lingxi Clan to survive in the future amidst encircling powerful enemies.

But some authorities could not be shared.

He could be immortal and unkillable, restarting infinitely, but the Lingxi Clan had no margin for error in life.

Only by joining the player faction would the Lingxi Clan be completely freed from the shackles of survival, with no more worries behind them.

As his thoughts churned, Xiao Xiao Fa listed batch after batch of handmade items and food on the trading market.

The prompt for successful sales rang continuously in his mind.

His Shou Shou Jili balance soared rapidly during this period.

Some items took longer to sell; although the challenger prompts ringing from time to time were pleasant, they affected his thinking.

He simply temporarily muted the prompts. After listing all the items, Xiao Xiao Fa, having gathered enough Shou Shou Jili, went straight to the blood pool area at the very bottom of Lingxi City.

This giant blood pool, covering nearly ten thousand square meters, had once been the cage of the Lingxi Clan in the old era.

Those slaves who had lost in the Lingxi Clan's external plundering wars would be carefully selected, with the parts possessing the best life structures chosen to be thrown into the blood pool for imprisonment.

These slaves would, in the future, serve as new host bodies when elite Lingxi warriors changed their bodies.

But after entering the Monster World, the Lingxi Clan completely changed their development model.

As the lowest-level faction in the Monster World, how could they still have the qualification to plunder at will, thus completely losing the targets for host body replacement.

Procreation, once strictly forbidden, was unsealed in this new era.

Now that the Lingxi Clan had returned to the path of reproduction, they no longer needed the existence of host bodies.

The newly forged blood pool was completely transformed; what churned within the blood pool was refined, pure vital energy.

Eight massive bronze pillars surrounded the pool's edge, their shafts carved with spirit runes; chains extended from the tops of the pillars to the pool bottom, connecting to eight colossal creatures soaking in the blood water.

Among them was the Terminus Behemoth he controlled.

Standing at the edge of the blood pool, the contract mark on Xiao Xiao Fa's forehead suddenly lit up, connecting to the King Beast.

The memory sac implanted in his body activated accordingly, emitting mental fluctuations that spread outward as ripples toward the blood pool.

Immediately, the ground trembled, the blood pool boiled, and the giant beast sleeping within the pool suddenly opened its eyes.

Accompanied by the sound of grinding bones, a colossal creature emerged from beneath the blood pool.

Its body was like a mountain range; every inch of skin was covered in living biological armor, with molten-like golden blood light flowing through the gaps, and its body was covered in earth-yellow bone spikes.

This was precisely one of the strongest war weapons passed down through generations by the Lingxi Clan: the Terminus Behemoth, which had fake rule imprints implanted within its body.

In an instant, the figure of the Soul Beast appeared.

Its ghost-green misty body churned violently; under Xiao Xiao Fa's control, chain-like energy ripples around the Soul Beast spread crazily, displaying unprecedented hunger toward the Terminus Behemoth.

The Terminus Behemoth lowered its head to gaze at this tiny existence; no emotional fluctuation existed in its molten-like pupils.

Although it was a living creature, before combining with the memory sac, the Terminus Behemoth possessed no self-awareness.

"Eat."

Xiao Xiao Fa used the control of his Painful Painful Minghun to issue the command to the Soul Beast.

The Soul Beast's ghost-green misty body pounced on the Terminus Behemoth like a starving wolf, yet was instantly repelled by an invisible force the moment it touched the body.

The golden blood light flowing on the Terminus Behemoth's surface automatically formed a defensive layer.

The chain-like energy ripples struck the barrier's surface, creating tiny sparks, yet could not even break through the outermost layer of biological armor.

The gap in strength between the two was too great; the Soul Beast's hunting level was only 27.

Whereas the Terminus Behemoth's combat power evaluation in the analysis was level 112.

Even if the Terminus Behemoth stood motionless, there was absolutely no possibility for the Soul Beast to break its defense; indeed, it would be burned by the Terminus Behemoth's overflowing vital energy.

Realizing this approach would not work, Xiao Xiao Fa acted personally.

He released his telekinesis, lifting himself to the top of the Terminus Behemoth's head.

At this moment, the Terminus Behemoth's skull split open, revealing countless writhing crimson nerve cords, like blooming crimson flowers.

Upon sensing Xiao Xiao Fa's arrival, the nerve cords within the Terminus Behemoth's skull, like a pack of hungry snakes, dragged him into the skull.

After the skull closed, the neural threads of the memory sac extended through the pores to the outside of Xiao Xiao Fa's body, successfully connecting with the Terminus Behemoth's nerve cords.

Xiao Xiao Fa's vision suddenly switched, replaced by the Terminus Behemoth's vision.

Following this came the surging, ferocious power within his body; this was the terrifying power from the Terminus Behemoth, capable of easily crushing a mountain range.

Boom!

Under his control, the End Beast's massive fist slammed heavily into its own chest.

This strike held nothing back; a terrifying shockwave exploded across its surface, forming a ring of golden Qi waves.

The indestructible biological armor cracked under the self-destructive attack, web-like fissures spreading from the impact point, with molten-gold blood seeping from the gaps.

Boom!

The second punch followed immediately.

Without releasing Blood Qi to defend, the End Beast's finger bones smoothly pierced its own chest.

Armor fragments scattered in all directions.

Surging Blood Qi energy attempted to autonomously repair the fatal wound.

But Xiao Xiao Fa suppressed the Blood Qi from gathering at the wound, and under his control, the End Beast ruthlessly extended its sharp claws to grip the wound's edges, then tore outward violently.

Rrrrip!

Amidst the sound of flesh tearing, the End Beast ripped open a horrifying gash across its own chest.

Blood poured down like a waterfall, staining the pool of blood.

The Soul Beast, which had been waiting for a long time, transformed into a ghostly green lightning bolt and drilled into the End Beast's body through the crack.

This time, with no Blood Qi barrier blocking the way, the Soul Beast could finally drink the blood directly to grow.

Its energy-based, mist-like body, like a pack of hungry wolves, frantically gnawed at the End Beast's flesh, spreading and expanding continuously.

Yet this speed was extremely slow.

Every mouthful of consumption required a long time.

During this period, the Soul Beast's strength grew rapidly, eroding into the End Beast's body along the wound channel.

The first to be consumed were the most fragile joint membranes on the End Beast's surface; the semi-transparent connections melted like syrup, being nibbled away bit by bit by the ghostly green mist.

As time passed, the Soul Beast's erosion speed began to grow exponentially.

When the first fingernail-sized piece of biological armor was completely transformed, the entire consumption process suddenly accelerated.

Golden patterns identical to the End Beast's appeared within the ghostly green mist; the newly acquired power allowed the Soul Beast to easily break through the formidable defense formed by Blood Qi.

Half an hour later, the Soul Beast's Hunting Level reached 69.

It had already eroded most of the skin on the End Beast's right forelimb.

The assimilated tissue constantly shed, then reorganized within the mist into new energy structures.

At this moment, the Soul Beast seemed to be playing a puzzle game, dismantling the End Beast, this colossal creature, piece by piece, and stitching them into its own body.

One hour later.

The End Beast's body began to collapse, its flesh and blood turning into a pure torrent of energy that the Soul Beast drank.

Finally, the Soul Beast completely replaced the End Beast, completing the soul-snatching consumption.

In Soul Beast mode, the End Beast's golden spiritual patterns on its surface turned into ghostly green spiritual patterns.

With the fusion of traits, the ghostly green spiritual patterns reverted to gold, showing not a single flaw.

However, the "Consumption Fake Rule" within the End Beast had not yet been fused, and it generated an operational logic conflict with the Soul Beast's innate Soul-Shaping Rule.

This logical contradiction was like a file read conflict.

Only by shutting down one could the other operate normally.

To keep the Soul Beast in a stable life form, the Consumption Fake Rule had to be excised.

"Guide Bro, then I'll leave it to you." Xiao Xiao Fa turned his head to look at the floating Guide Water Sphere beside him.

【Coming.】

The Guide Water Sphere opened its eyes, and immediately, the balance column in Xiao Xiao Fa's spatial bag plummeted rapidly.

Crimson Shou Shou Jili surged forth continuously, transforming into brilliant beams of light that projected onto the Soul Beast in its End Beast form.

Under the illumination of this beam, the Soul-Shaping Derivative Rule and the Consumption Fake Rule imprint within the Soul Beast were forcibly smelted together.

The entire process was like forging a scattered mass of matter into a precise clock.

But mere reconstruction was insufficient; at this moment, Guide took out the Rule Fragment "Dead March" and poured the two types of Rule power extracted from within the Soul Beast into the Dead March.

Immediately, the entire smelting process suddenly became orderly.

The ghostly green and pale gold energies, like surgical sutures, began to re-weave according to Guide's will.

The new special Painful Painful Minghun grafted the memory bank function of the Soul-Shaping Rule onto the Consumption Rule as a material library.

It modified the optimization module of the Consumption Rule into a plugin system for the Soul-Shaping Rule.

It used the Rule-level architecture unique to the Dead March as the overarching framework to carry both systems operating compatibly.

When the last wisp of energy completed its transformation, the ghostly green, pale gold, and gray-white powers condensed into a brand-new dark gold imprint; inside, it resembled three interlocking gears.

Zooming in on each part, one could see layers of nested spiritual pattern structures, operating like small gears according to specific laws.

Under the guidance of Guide's consciousness, this newly born Fake Rule imprint slowly merged into the Soul Beast's chest.

In an instant, the Soul Beast's body trembled violently, and dark gold energy waves spread out from its chest.

Wherever they passed, scales reorganized, bones reshaped, and energy circuits reconstructed; the form of the Fusion Beast began to evolve toward something more perfect.

When everything settled, the Fusion Beast still maintained the form of the End Beast.

But its Hunting Level did not rise; instead, it dropped by 2 levels.

Regarding this, Xiao Xiao Fa felt no unease.

Optimization of life form had nothing to do with strength growth; it could even diminish combat power.

Compare the player to a monster from the Di Ku Shi Jie once known as the "Stitch Beast."

With equal combat power, the life forms of the Stitch Beast and the player were completely on different dimensions.

One was a stitched monstrosity that consumed and fused multiple powers; the other was a player's body possessing a perfect, pure life structure. Their growth potential could not be compared.

The guidance also began its final step at this moment: the creation of the Painful Painful Minghun.

The beam enveloping the Fusion Beast suddenly contracted, like quicksand being pinched together by an invisible hand.

Under the compression of the scarlet energy, the Fusion Beast's dark golden body constantly collapsed and solidified, as spiritual patterns struck its body one after another.

When the last spiritual pattern embedded into its surface, all light vanished.

A dark golden bead, the size of a pigeon egg, floated into Xiao Xiao Fa's palm.

Looking down, he saw a miniature version of the Soul Beast's true form clearly visible within the bead's walls, as if sealed in amber, still maintaining the imposing form of the End Beast, yet the entire body flowed with the unique eerie green aura characteristic of Soul Beasts.

Just then, the bead merged into Xiao Xiao Fa's palm and vanished.

【Challenger Notice: The original special Painful Painful Minghun "Source of Sin" has been decomposed and reconstructed, automatically freeing up a Star Pulse slot.】

Hearing the notice, he summoned the Star Pulse interface.

He then used his consciousness to drag the "special Painful Painful Minghun" from his backpack inventory and embed it into the final Star Pulse slot.

Immediately, surging power poured into his body, and the method of using the Painful Painful Minghun was instantly mastered.

His fingertip swept through the void, and the Ming Hun Lao Yin appeared on his forehead.

A dark golden spiritual pattern spread out from beneath his feet, quickly outlining and perfecting itself.

Space was violently torn apart; accompanied by the sound of bones interlocking, a colossal entity crawled out of the void.

The Fusion Beast made its debut as a summoned beast; a triple-gear-shaped dark golden mark was branded on its forehead, proof of the perfect fusion of the Remnants of the Dead March, Soul-Shaping Rules, and the pseudo-rule of Devouring.

With a mere thought from Xiao Xiao Fa, the Fusion Beast's body suddenly collapsed and switched forms.

Dark red carapace writhed and reorganized like a living thing; spinal bone spines retracted and deformed, and limbs transformed into thick skin.

Within just three seconds, this war beast transformed into a biological mining machine of the same volume, with a biological structure resembling a spiral drill extending from its head and an organ with a conveyor belt structure splitting open in its abdomen.

This was exactly the super mining machine he wanted.

For the upcoming testing phase, he only needed a single thought.

The Fusion Beast could switch freely among four forms: the End Beast, the Biological Mining Machine, the Glow Spider, and the Soul Beast's true form; in the future, after devouring other creatures, it would possess even more switchable forms.

Every form perfectly retained all attributes.

Among them, the Soul Beast form was the absolute core; its life structure fused the other forms, making its appearance even more ferocious.

"Hahaha, it's done."

Having finally forged a new Painful Painful Minghun with greater potential than the Source of Sin, Xiao Xiao Fa couldn't help but laugh heartily.

This Fusion Beast could now be used as a summoned beast, controlled by consciousness.

It could also merge with his body to be used in a Super Beast Armored form.

Summoning the Log interface, he saw the Challenger Notice:

【Challenger Notice: Special Painful Painful Minghun embedded: Unnamed (naming permission granted).】

Xiao Xiao Fa fell into deep thought, pondering what name to give this special Painful Painful Minghun.

The special Painful Painful Minghun's characteristic effects were Devour, Optimize, and Inherit (memories, talents); he decided to brainstorm along this direction.

"End Soul Beast... no, too chuunibyou."

"Dead Soul Yan... taking one character from each of the three powers... still no, sounds terrible."

While pondering, Xiao Xiao Fa had a spark of inspiration, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

"From today on, you shall be called: Ten Thousand Phenomena."

Ten Thousand Phenomena represents the Fusion Beast's characteristic of devouring all things and changing in a thousand ways, and also represents the rule architecture that embraces all rivers.

After all, this is merely a pseudo-rule; in the future, it still has the potential to advance into a true rule.

The cultivation of the special Painful Painful Minghun has only just begun.

The last time was the Source of Sin forged from a single End Beast; now it is a special Painful Painful Minghun with greater potential, forged from a three-in-one combination.

Next time, perhaps new abilities can be added on top of this foundation.

Just as Xiao Xiao Fa confirmed the name of the new Painful Painful Minghun, a global channel notice rang in every player's mind.

【Challenger Notice (Global Channel): Congratulations to player "Xiao Xiao Fa" for successfully creating (reshaping) the new Painful Painful Minghun: Ten Thousand Phenomena.】

The sudden Challenger Notice caused the player forum, the World Channel, and even various regional channels to explode.

Usually, global channel notices contained content such as containing Meng Yuan Chu monsters, resource nodes, or updates to new functions.

Every time a global channel notice appeared, all players felt genuine joy and could benefit from it.

Who would have thought that this time it was news of the "traitor Little Fa" gaining growth.

The forum and chat channels in various regions immediately erupted with all kinds of curses.

All players were like repeating machines, spamming in the same way across different channels:

Don't notify next time, it's bad luck!
