Even the rifts connecting to the Otherworld showed unstable fluctuations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information filled Nari with unprecedented fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for apostles, there are countless forbidden areas in the depths of the abyss that remain untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those places are inhabited by beings older and more powerful than apostles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They mostly come from beyond the world’s wall, horrifying entities infiltrating from other dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I warn you one last time, Nari,\" Chai Ye’s threat was like death’s sentence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you persist in slipping into long sleep again, I won’t protect you in the next competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, other apostles will be more than happy to tear you apart, savoring the energy essence in your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After communication was severed, Nari slumped in the corner of the treasury, engulfed by the tide-like loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though cruel, Chai Ye’s words were the truth in every letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this openly cannibalistic world of the abyss, the weak have no right to survive, apostles included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It began reminiscing the \"success cases\" of other apostles, trying to draw some inspiration from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mad Biter\" Mogron, possesses a legion composed of Mutant Werewolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These werewolves not only boast combat power close to Moon Level but maintain absolute loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their brains are implanted with Mogron’s seeds, making betrayal biologically impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari once tried to emulate this method, but the result was catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its seeds were too mighty, causing the lifeform receiving the transplant to either die immediately or transform into mindless crazy beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mogron’s success seems simple but actually requires extremely precise power control, precisely what Nari lacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari envied the success of those young apostles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bloodtear Marquis\" Asmond, although born nearly a millennium later than Nari, already established a vast family network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These family members spread across the human world, collecting intelligence for Asmond, spreading chaos, and seeking new transformation targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmond’s success secret lies in gradual increments, starting from simple blood parasites, gradually strengthening the host’s body and spirit, eventually completing perfect transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method, though time-consuming, has a very high success rate, and the transformed \"family members\" almost retain their original wisdom and personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari also attempted similar methods but always acted too hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the slow progress of the experimental subject, it couldn’t help but increase the energy output, hoping to accelerate the transformation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often resulting in failure, with the experimental subject exploding at the final moment of imminent success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These memories reminded Nari of its failed attempts, each one a painful lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first attempt occurred five hundred years ago, targeting an abyss exploration team composed of several Morning Star Wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Nari was still young and had extremely crude control over its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naively believing that merely forcibly injecting its abyssal essence into the explorers’ bodies would naturally transform them into loyal subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Abyssal Apostle is too frenzy for ordinary creatures, causing the explorers’ bodies to start uncontrollable mutation the moment of contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their muscle tissues frantically grew, blood vessels ruptured and reorganized, bones twisted and deformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, five people completely collapsed amid devastating screams, leaving only an unrecognizable heap of flesh and gore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... why did this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Nari looked at the carnage, unable to understand why the transformation that other apostles could easily complete was so difficult for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second attempt occurred three hundred years ago, where Nari learned from the last lesson and chose a more powerful Moon Level Mage as the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it didn’t directly inject power but attempted a \"gentle\" transformation through spiritual connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed smooth initially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target mage’s body showed no obvious rejection, and the spiritual connection was successfully established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari excitedly began transmitting fragments of its consciousness, hoping to gradually remodel the opponent’s thought patterns through such means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But issues soon arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari’s consciousness essence was too chaotic, triggering fierce cognitive conflicts as its thought fragments entered the mage’s spiritual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rational thought structure of that mage began collapsing under chaotic impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memory fragments scattered, and the personality core teetered on the brink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the body suffered no harm, the mage’s spirit was thoroughly dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed into an idiot who merely laughed foolishly, occasionally uttering completely illogical words — the remaining fragments of Nari’s consciousness causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... pig-like thing, what have you turned this precious transformation sample into?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the news, \"Bloodtear Marquis\" Asmond immediately came to mock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve seen many failed transformations, but turning a Moon Level Mage into an idiot, this is a first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari was speechless and could only watch this now worthless failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, it had to personally end the mage’s life, simultaneously burying its illusion of \"gentle transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third attempt occurred decades ago, where Nari decided to adopt the \"chronic erosion\" strategy recommended by other apostles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It painstakingly selected a mage, confined him in a custom biological cage, daily infusing small amounts of abyssal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method was indeed more reliable; the target’s body and mind didn’t collapse immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari could sense the incremental changes in the other every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skin began to exhibit the abyss’s unique dark purple hue, eyes occasionally flashed chaotic gleams, thought processes subtly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nari thought it finally found the correct method and began looking forward to the delightful moment of its first subordinate’s birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even prepared a comfortable residence for this \"prospective subordinate,\" adorned with various collectibles it considered \"beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But disaster still struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though gentle, chronic erosion also provided ample time for the target to adapt and resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage was an alchemy expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During transformation, he gradually understood the cage’s structure and learned to enhance his abilities using the abyssal energy within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the seventy-third day of the transformation, the mage successfully cracked the biological lock of the cage, escaping control while Nari was out hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even deliberately sabotaged one of its extremely precious \"music boxes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furious Nari immediately began a chase but could not find the opponent’s trace again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... why do I always fail?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three painful failures nearly led Nari to abandon the notion of nurturing subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever it saw other apostles successfully establishing their forces, it could only silently retreat to the depths of its lair, pretending not to care about such solitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the competition drawing near, Nari knew it had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Nari sank into despair, an unexpected phenomenon appeared in the treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the cocoon containing a mysterious puppet, abyssal energy began gathering in an unprecedented manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These usually chaotic energies aligned into orderly spiral patterns, like preparations for some ancient ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More intriguingly, the puppet surface started emanating a faint and pure glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the abyss’s twisted light, but a gentle radiation that filled Nari with inexplicable tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\" Nari ceased its painful reminiscing, intensely observing the unprecedented phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout its long life, never had it seen abyssal energy exhibit such orderly behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, fate finally delivered a special gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Nari’s fearsome large eyes, the long-lost flame of hope began to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>",1289,"2026-05-29T14:43:59.586Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","27c2354019c3e07d0fa2b9a071c4159167d8e9d9af78bef49ca7942fc9a9bf96","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-741","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-739",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
