"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for upgrading their talent to max 10. The player's life form has evolved. Congratulations to the player's profession 'Priest' for evolving into 'Origin Spirit'. This evolution requires one million immortal stones, one million spirit stones, and ten billion gold coins! Please confirm if you wish to evolve."
Origin Spirit—
Health coefficient 20, True Qi coefficient 15, Attack coefficient 1.3, Magic Defense and Physical Defense coefficient 1.2.
Profession description: Origin Spirit is the most primitive profession at the time of the birth of human ancestors. It is said that the birth of every Origin Spirit is the accumulation of countless generations of humanity, drawing upon the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to refine oneself. Later, in the long evolution of time, the Origin Spirit profession differentiated into eight major professions such as 'Priest' and 'Mage'.
The introduction was brief, but Ye Yun was exceptionally excited.
"Evolve!"
Ye Yun did not hesitate at all. What was the point of earning so much money? The Priest's abysmal base stats were simply too frustrating.
Moreover, this profession's growth coefficient was terrifying! On Blue Star, no profession had a growth coefficient above 1.0. For example, Ye Yun's attack and physical defense growth coefficients were both 0.8. While the ferocious Mage had a terrifying attack of 1.3, its health coefficient was only 8, and its physical defense coefficient was only 0.7.
Most importantly, Ye Yun saw that this reminded him of Xiao Tong's 'Heaven-Forsaken' profession, but even that wasn't as monstrous as the Origin Spirit profession!
"System prompt: The player's current materialized strength is 87%. It is recommended that the player increase their materialized strength to 100%. Would the player like to use the Strength Materialization Card?"
Ye Yun's body was immobile, but he could control his telekinesis. However, what worried him was not this, but the nutrient solution in the real world!
He had leveled up his talent too enthusiastically and forgotten whether there was enough nutrient solution in the real world. But now, apart from simple operations, he couldn't even log out of the game.
The consequences of dying in this game due to insufficient real-world energy were severe. In reality, the body, due to a lack of energy, would actively absorb all surrounding energy-carrying substances. The more powerful the individual, the more terrifying and extensive the range.
If the energy were not replenished, the entire body would wither away rapidly, like a plant deprived of nourishment.
But what did it matter? Ye Yun seemed to have no other option but to follow the system's prompts.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for reaching 100% materialized strength. The player's real-world strength has reached the Emperor level. Since 99.9999% of the player's real-world strength was materialized and increased within the 'Heavenly Dao', congratulations to the player for receiving a special gift from the 'Heavenly Dao'."
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining 'Ten Dragon Body Sculpting'!"
A sphere the size of a basketball appeared in Ye Yun's inventory, its entire surface emitting a halo.
"System prompt: The player's real-world energy supply is insufficient. Would you like to use 'Ten Dragon Body Sculpting'?"
Before Ye Yun could even examine what 'Ten Dragon Body Sculpting' was, the system prompt reappeared. Without a second thought, Ye Yun used it.
"System prompt: 'Ten Dragon Body Sculpting' used successfully. Congratulations to the player for breaking the shackles of 'Heavenly Dao'. The system is now strengthening the player's real-world strength. Strengthening in progress, remaining strengthening time 9.9 hours."
"Please note, this strengthening has two options. Please choose wisely."
1. The player's real-world strength will be strengthened to 300% of their game materialized strength. Attribute points not added by the player will be added by the system to fill the player's shortcomings. However, the player's five major attribute points within 'Heavenly Dao' will be directly reset to zero. (Note: This option is only available if the player has reached max 10 talent and materialized 100% strength to reality.)
2. The player's real-world strength will be strengthened to their materialized strength. The player's in-game attributes will not be reset.
The two options were quite thought-provoking. The first option was based on the game, essentially multiplying the in-game strength to be materialized. However, the price was considerable, as the five major in-game attributes would be reset to zero!
The second option was more user-friendly, and it was the path Ye Yun had been following all along. Ye Yun believed that players like Yao Die and Space-Time Wanderer were likely on the same path.
After all, the requirements for the first option were too harsh. One had to reach max 10 talent before being able to increase their materialized strength to 100%. It was estimated that besides a cheater like himself, no one could resist the temptation of materialized strength.
It had to be said, this was another huge pitfall!
Ye Yun watched the countdown of thirty seconds, hesitating for a moment. Deep down, the first option was undoubtedly what Ye Yun needed. After all, the essence of all players entering 'Heavenly Dao' was to strengthen their real-world power, materializing three times the strength of the game world.
But he had the mission to revive the Divine City. If he lacked strong attributes in the game, how would he proceed to wreak havoc in the Divine Race's Divine City?
In the end, Ye Yun chose the first option. The triple materialization was simply too tempting. His current competitors were not NPCs, but primarily other foreign players. With his current talent, catching up to them was merely a matter of leveling up!
"System prompt: The player has chosen the first option, 'Super Strength Enhancement'. Player's added Health attribute points cleared, player's added Attack attribute points cleared..."
"Remaining player strengthening time 9.8 hours... It is estimated that the player's real-world strength will be elevated to the Saint realm. The system specifically reminds the player that after the strengthening, their strength will inevitably trigger a Cosmic Tribulation. The player must proceed to the depths of the universe to undergo the tribulation to avoid affecting their family."
...
Avoid affecting family?
Ye Yun gave a bitter smile. By this time, it had probably already affected them. In less than half an hour, his talent had broken through two levels consecutively. The nutrient solution in the real world, given his massive attribute base, was like a drop in the ocean.
And reality, just as Ye Yun had estimated, was indeed the case. The top floor of the Dragon Palace building looked like it had been hit by a bomb. The entire area around the swimming pool had cracked, the pool was dry, and several Dragon Palace executives who were adding nutrient solution were lying on the terrace, barely alive.
A petite figure limped away, carrying Wang Chen and Zhou Ningdong on her small shoulders. She looked at Ye Yun, who was floating above the swimming pool, guarded by ten golden dragons, and then jumped directly from the Dragon Palace building. Police cars and ambulances had arrived in response to the situation. She had to save these people first, as she could not even get close to Ye Yun at this moment.
From the outside, the Dragon Palace building now looked as if it had been attacked with heavy firepower by a certain faction. Yellow tape had been set up, and heavily armed soldiers were stationed at every meter.
At this moment, leaders of all countries on Blue Star were monitoring the progress of the Dragon Palace incident through satellites. In their eyes, this was undoubtedly another declaration of war by one country against the Dragon Palace.
The official announcement from Hua Yi country was indeed: Our country's 'Heavenly Dao' team, Dragon Palace, was attacked by armed foreign hostile forces!
ps: Updates will resume tomorrow. Spent almost a full day on the highway, I'm dazed.
