Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 404 'Coming of Age Ceremony' [7k words]

Become!

In the soul space, Xin Lailai looked at the things in front of him, with a touch of excitement in his eyes.

In front of him, he saw a huge black sword that was somewhat similar to Yuan Mo floating there. Corresponding to it was the huge tower shield full of weight in Ling Yuzi's soul space.

……

[Born Soul Weapon·Sword: LV.MAX (Soul System·Passive/Active)]

Skill effect: A huge soul sword formed from the soul's origin. It has both [passive] and [active] forms, giving the user powerful destructive power.

*Passive form: The soul sword will be integrated into one's own soul. During this period, all melee slashing attacks will have the [Soul-Slaying] effect. The specific Soul-Slaying Strength is determined by the current soul strength. The current Soul-Slaying Strength is: 0.4 points.

*Active form: Unleashing the power of the soul sword, the sharpness of the weapon will be increased by 4% for 40 seconds. All melee slashing damage caused during this period will be accompanied by 400 points of soul damage, and the soul-slaying intensity of the attack will be increased to 0.8 points.

*Tip: The [Active Form] cooldown time is 7 days, and the [Passive Form] bonus effect will not be available before the cooldown ends.

Normally, it is impossible to hold soul weapons with these two characteristics at the same time, no matter how talented they are. This involves two completely opposite directions, just like a person who chooses to go left cannot go right. In the same way, a person can only choose a soul weapon with one characteristic. This is a rule that cannot be changed.

As for soul soldiers who have chosen defensive characteristics, although their offensive capabilities are far inferior to those of strong soul soldiers who have chosen offensive characteristics because of the lack of attack methods, they can be strong enough to make the opponent suspicious when fighting against strong soul soldiers. Life.

In the soul space, Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched out his hand to press on the soul sword. The originally huge soul sword suddenly turned into pure soul source energy and merged into his soul.

[Tip: The [Passive Form] effect of [Bird Soul Weapon·Sword LV.MAX] has been activated]

Seeing Xin Lailai's reaction, Kargus remembered that he had never mentioned these things to the other party, so he coughed lightly, moistened his throat, and explained to Xin Lailai.

"Awakening Little Lingyuzi's talent? Let me think about it, her talent is a very normal spiritual talent. There should be nothing to pay attention to. You should just follow the procedures arranged by your paradise for you."

Then, with a thought in Xin Lailai's mind, the scene in front of him suddenly returned from the soul space to the exclusive room, and said to Kargus in front of him:
"Teacher Kargus, thank you for helping me advance."

Before that, one thing needs to be understood. Because the level of the void is much higher than that of the derived world and the normal derived world, most babies born in the void are born with broken real attribute barriers and have abilities far beyond those of ordinary people. There are even many beings who reach the fifth or even sixth level at birth, but for the various large forces in the void, this is not a good thing.

The so-called coming-of-age ceremony is actually an internal image of the demon clan... to be precise, it is an image of each major clan in the void saying that the juniors of their own clan have broken the barrier of true attributes.

This is the effect of their natal soul soldiers. According to Kargus's description, in the soul weapon system, soul soldiers with attack and defense characteristics are mutually restraining choices.

Soul-Slaying Strength and Soul-Slaying Resistance.

*Active form: Release the power of the soul shield, increase the body defense value by 4% for 40 seconds, all soul damage received during this period will be reduced by 400 points, and the soul-killing resistance will be increased to 0.8 points.

The soul sword, which requires close combat and holding the weapon to exert its maximum power, is obviously more suitable for Xin Lailai, who dominates the physical body most of the time.

When Xin Lailai heard this, there was a look of confusion in her eyes, and she didn't realize what Kagus was talking about.

There is a balance in everything. Because there is basically no extraordinary power in this world, although the beings born in it are naturally weak, they have successfully added all the points to their potential. The beings born in the void are certainly born with far-reaching abilities. Superhuman strength, but often serious shortcomings in potential.

"Well, actually there is one more thing. Ling Yuzi and I plan to carry out her talent awakening mission in the next world, so I wanted to ask the teacher if you have any opinions or something like that?"

The most powerful ones drain away all the extraordinary energy nearby, run as close to the lower-level native world as possible to give birth to newborns, and use their fate-based abilities to interfere with the fate of the ethnic group...

With the integration of the soul soldiers, the aura exuding from Xin Lailai's body suddenly changed slightly, and there was a sharper feeling between his eyebrows.

It can be said that in order to improve the initial talents of their own tribe and cultivate more strong people, the major forces in the void thought of countless methods at that time. Nearly 99.99% of the attempts ended in failure, and only a few Some methods can work.

……

When a soul soldier with attack characteristics is faced with an enemy who has no means of resisting soul damage, as long as the strength is not too different, the situation is almost one-sided. However, when facing a soul system strongman with a soul soldier with defensive characteristics, But it will become extremely weak.

[Natural Soul Soldier·Shield: LV.MAX (Soul System·Passive/Active)]

……

"Bar mitzvah?"

Not only that, because the natal soul weapon is made from the origin of one's own soul, its characteristics will also have a profound impact on one's own soul origin. Therefore, once a choice is made between the 'spear' and the 'shield', future learning Almost all soul-based abilities will have obvious bias.

*Passive form: The soul shield will be integrated into the own soul. During this period, [soul-killing resistance] will be greatly increased. The specific soul-killing resistance is determined by the current soul strength. The current soul-killing resistance is: 0.4 points.

Although under normal circumstances he and Ling Yuzi can only enjoy the effects of the soul weapons they hold, as long as they enter the spirit assimilation state, they can immediately transform into an outrageous existence that masters both the 'spear' and the 'shield'.

*Tip: The [Active Form] cooldown time is 7 days, and the [Passive Form] bonus effect will not be available before the cooldown ends.

But now, relying on the special nature of his and Ling Yuzi's lives being in a superposition state, the rules that were originally impossible to change were successfully shaken by them.

Therefore, since the first era, various large clans and overlord forces in the void have been looking for ways to reduce the initial attributes of newborns in their own clan...that is, to maximize the initial points of newborns towards their potential.

As for why he was the one to condense the Soul Sword and Ling Yuzi was the one to condense the Soul Shield, they decided after many considerations.

"Ahem, the 'coming of age ceremony' I just mentioned actually refers to the 80-point real attribute barrier breakthrough in your paradise..."

"Tsk, it's rare to hear a decent word from your mouth. Okay, in this way, I'm almost done with your soul studies. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Skill effect: A huge soul shield formed from the soul's origin. It has both [passive] and [active] forms, giving the user powerful defensive capabilities.

This is the rule of the star world. Assuming that everyone is born with certain initial points, then the closer he is born to the area of ​​the real world, the easier it is for the points to be invested in the potential column, and the closer he is to the extraordinary power of the void. The more common the difference, the easier it is for points to be invested in areas beyond potential.

Kagus muttered, threw the "Soul Cultivation Manual" to Xin Lailai, waved his hand, turned around and planned to leave.

There is no room for choice between the two. This is the biggest feature and biggest flaw of the soul weapon system.

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is the internal name of our demon clan. I didn't mention it to you two before."

Lingyuzi usually acts with his soul body, which actually puts a lot of burden on the soul. Therefore, a soul shield that can improve the soul-killing resistance and enhance the stability of the soul is obviously more suitable for Lingyuzi.

"In this way, even if we encounter soul-based violators, we will have ways to deal with them."

After thinking for a while, Kargus spoke. At the same time, he glanced at Xin Lailai, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and said:
"If you think about it carefully, the people in your paradise are growing up at a terrifying speed. When I first met you two little guys, you were just two people who didn't even know how to control the power of the devil. The little cub is about to experience the 'coming of age' ceremony in the blink of an eye."

After a long period of screening and research, only one method remained - land resumption.

Yes, land acquisition.

This is the most effective method that all races in the void have unanimously confirmed after a lot of attempts.

The various world layers of the star realm seem to have extremely clear divisions, but in fact, the various world layers are not completely separated from each other, but are closely integrated with me in you and you in me. Relationship.

To put it simply, the rules of the real world may penetrate all the way into the void and the original world, forming a small special area that has almost no extraordinary rules and is very similar to the real world. The rules of the void may also penetrate into the real world. Let some areas of the real world have extraordinary factors that are so weak that they are almost negligible.

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, the various tribes in the void at that time actually did not think so much at all. When they were just exploring ways to improve the talents of newborns in the tribe, they discovered that there were some problems in the void and the native world. An extremely special 'feng shui treasure land'.

Although there are almost no extraordinary rules in those 'Feng Shui Treasure Lands', the average talent of newborns born there will be much higher than that of newborns born in a void environment.

This discovery naturally surprised many of the great void clans at that time as if they had found a treasure. Therefore, for a long period of time, various races began to search for this 'Feng Shui treasure land'.

Once such a treasure land is found, the weaker races will relocate their entire family, or secretly send people to guard it, and continue to develop little by little.

Powerful races or forces took action with great fanfare, dispatched a large amount of combat power, and asked the strongest people in the race to master the time and space ability to move the entire time and space to the vicinity of the holy land within their own race. Piece by piece piece together a space large enough to accommodate tens or even hundreds of thousands of people at the same time.

Later, the so-called "tribe land" of the great clans in the void, such as the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan, originated from this. After the destruction of the Arcane Eternal Star, the reason why the various great clans in the void were able to tear their faces apart so completely was, A large part of the reason was to compete for the 'tribe land' controlled by the Arcane Eternal Star at that time. As the most powerful overlord force in the entire void, the 'tribe land' controlled by Arcane Eternal Star at that time was as large as a small planet. Not only that, the real rules of the world in that 'tribe land' It's so rich that it can even be treated as a sub-real world.

It is no exaggeration to say that, based on the fact that they are close to the secondary reality, whoever can control that piece of 'tribe land' has a great probability of becoming the next 'Arcane Eternal Star'. For this reason, all the people in the void at that time It can be said that the clan is completely crazy in the true sense. Even the former allies can hardly guarantee that the other party will not fall out in the face of huge interests.

However, the facts were unpredictable. None of the great Void clans at the time expected that before they could decide the outcome and decide how to distribute the 'family land' of the Arcane Eternal Star, the Abyss would arrive first.

"Thinking about it now, sometimes success and failure are like this. Although the abyss invasion brought huge disasters to the star realm, if we had continued like that at that time, I am afraid that the situation in the void would not be much better now. It may even be unknown whether our demon clan can exist in the world.”

Kargus sighed with emotion, a look of vicissitudes of life showing in his pupils.

At that time, the demon clan did not have any advantage in the war. Although the demon clan was very strong, it was because of this that it was more likely to be jointly targeted by other races. In addition, the demon clan's temper was not very good to begin with, and they usually had grudges. Because there were far more forces than those with whom we were friendly, we almost became enemies of the whole world at that time.

——Although these are already in the past tense.

The three great invasions of the abyss have completely changed the pattern of the void. In the current void, even the ancient gods have become law-abiding and have embarked on the path of symbiosis with the world to maintain sustainable development.

After all, no matter how chaotic and evil the Ancient God is, he is nothing more than a cute little girl who can only moan twice when thrown in front of the immortal abyss-breeding creatures. The corrosive ability that the Ancient God is most proud of will not be able to corrode the energy of the abyss. To put it in perspective, it can be said that it is just trying to beat the odds with an egg and sending fertilizer to others when there is nothing wrong.

Before the White Night Era, it was common to encounter worlds that were sucked and eroded to collapse by the ancient gods. However, in the Golden Age, the ancient gods who once enjoyed sucking the world have almost become synonymous with the saviors of many native worlds.

There are even many native worlds that wish they had a powerful ancient god sitting in their own house and using the power of the world in exchange for the blessing of the other party. After all, the ancient gods are different from ordinary gods who only absorb the power of faith. Once the ancient gods start to suck the power of the world, they will directly Being deeply connected to the world, there is no need to worry about suddenly packing up and leaving.

Especially when moving the world, due to racial differences, the powerhouses of several other top forces in the void and transcendent and native worlds were bundled together and their efficiency in moving the world was not half as high as that of the ancient gods from the Destruction Star. .

A supreme human being of the time and space system may have to expend a huge amount of energy just to transport a ninth-order world, but a supreme ancient god who has mastered the ability of time and space can carry dozens of ninth-order worlds at the same time. Moving is a breeze for it.

Not only the ancient gods, but also the fate of the former 'tribe' of the Arcane Eternal Star has also undergone tremendous changes due to the invasion of the abyss.

If the Abyss had not arrived, the clan land would most likely end up falling into the hands of a certain force, or it would be broken into a large number of fragments and divided among the various forces.

But because of the abyss, all the great clans in the void suffered extremely heavy losses. Even some clans' clan lands were swallowed up by the abyss before they had time to move them. The small ethnic groups that grew up next to the ground even lost their own clan lands. 'The entire clan evacuated without even daring to take a glance, causing the overall talents of the newborns born in the void to drop by a large level during that period.

Under this situation, various races headed by the demon clan, feather clan, star clan... and other void clans and large forces jointly made a decision to merge the 'tribe lands'.

In fact, the big clans in the void discovered a long time ago that the larger the clan land is, the more stable the real world rules will be, and the higher the overall talent of the newborns will be. This is also why the 'family land' of the Arcane Eternal Star can reach a level close to the secondary real world level.

In the void of the past, there were many cases where forces sought allies to merge tribes and territories, and there were also cases where the talents of the newborns of the two tribes were greatly improved as a result, and eventually the most powerful ones were born, allowing the two tribes to successfully become hegemons. The case of power.

However, even if there are successful cases, the risks involved in merging the 'tribe' are too huge. Will the allies rebel? Will other forces join forces to obstruct it? After the merger, if the strength of your own group does not grow as fast as the other party, will it be annexed by the other party?

Even the two clans that became the hegemonic force by merging the 'tribe'...that is, the current Demon Tribe and the Feather Tribe, separated their clan territories again not long after their respective tribes became overlord-level forces, let alone After following the precedent of the two clans, the various forces in the void secretly suppressed the clans that wanted to merge with each other. As a result, after the two clans became hegemon-level forces, they no longer I saw the second pair of large forces that dared to do this.

Until the invasion of the abyss comes.

In the 15th year of the White Night Calendar, in order to ensure the future of each ethnic group and avoid the situation of the Void being out of business, the Void clan at that time decided to use the most complete and largest preserved clan land at that time, the arcana left by the former Void Overlord Arcane Eternal Star. Based on the Dharma Star, all the respective tribes and lands were integrated into it to create an unprecedented super-large tribe that carries the future of all ethnic groups in the void.

This huge project took all the big clans in the void a full 10 years to be officially completed. And when the Star World was officially completed, the various clans in the void were surprised to find that this place they had jointly built The completeness of the rules of the real world in the super large tribe is actually a bit higher than the secondary real world controlled by Paradise, reaching a level that is comparable to the real world.

To this day, many scholars still believe that it was this decision of the Void clans at that time that laid the foundation for the golden age of the entire star world. Otherwise, today's golden age would just be the golden age of the paradise camp, not the entire star world. In the golden age of the star world, the huge planet jointly built by all the races in the void was jointly named Dawn Star after the unanimous decision of all races.

By the way, in fact, various ethnic groups at that time originally wanted to name it Dawn Star, but then they thought about the fate of a paradise that was once named Dawn Star, and felt that the word Dawn Star was a bit unlucky, so they simply changed its name to Dawn Star. Become a star.

"Having said so much, I guess you have almost come to your senses. I... Well, the custom of the coming-of-age ceremony I mentioned earlier actually started at this time, or it has become a default custom of all races in the void. of."

"Didn't I tell you before that the Void side is different from your paradise camp. Although we can rely on the notarization of the Void Tree to clearly define the divisions of ranks, the divisions are not based on brand levels, but purely on attributes. It’s all about the barriers.”

"If the basic physical attribute is less than 20 points, it is an ordinary person, if it is above 20 points, it is the first level, if it is above 50 points, it is the second level, and if it is above 80 points, it is the third level..."

In the exclusive room, Kargus, who had already talked about it, was chattering away, telling Xin Lailai some things that he had never mentioned before.

For example, the basis for dividing ranks in the void, such as the brand quota of the tree of the void, and... the real attribute barrier in the void.

Yes, it is the real attribute barrier in the void.

For newborns born in the void, even those born in the Dawn Star, they can actually obtain their true physique without difficulty. They only need to go to a place with dense extraordinary energy in the void to receive baptism. , you can naturally obtain the real physique and change the physical attributes from ordinary attributes to real attributes.

However, doing that will bring about a huge flaw - that is, losing the reward for breaking through the three attribute barriers of 20, 50, and 80 points.

Among them, the 20 and 50-point attribute barrier breakthrough rewards are just fine. The 80-point barrier breakthrough reward is rich enough to have a profound impact on the future. There is even a saying in the void:
——A guy who can't even get the real barrier breakthrough reward of four attributes will never be qualified to reach the top in this life.

Therefore, in order to cultivate truly strong men, the various clans in the Void at that time always had an unwritten rule, that is, the newborns in the clan were not allowed to step out of the 'tribe land' before reaching the 80-point attribute barrier. In the void, you are only allowed to practice in the native world arranged by the clan or in the arena prepared by the Void Tree. You are not allowed to set foot in the void until you reach 80 points in all four attributes, and you have gone through the trial of breaking the 80-point real attribute barrier. of other places.

Over time, among the various clans in the void who own the "tribe land", breaking through the 80-point real attribute barrier gradually became a sign that the younger members of the clan can take charge of their own affairs and officially enter the void. The "coming of age ceremony" It was at that time that the theory began to appear.

——The 80-point real attribute barrier is not only a sign of breaking through the third level, but also a sign of an extraordinary life moving from 'infancy' to 'adulthood'.

——Only those who have completed their own 'coming-of-age ceremony' are qualified to step into the void and go to a broader stage. Otherwise, just stay within the clan honestly and don't embarrass yourself outside.

"Is it a coming-of-age ceremony...wait a minute, Teacher Kargus, is it possible that in the void, you have to rely on your own strength to break the barrier of true attributes to be considered an 'adult'?"

Xin Lailai muttered to himself and then seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise.

You must know that breaking the barrier of true attributes by one's own strength and relying on the trials provided by the paradise to break the barrier are completely different things. In terms of difficulty, if the difficulty of the latter is 1, then the difficulty of the former is At least they are all above 20.

"How is it possible? We here usually entrust the Void Tree to issue special tasks to them. If we really have to rely on our own training to break the barrier of reality, then **** wouldn't be called a brat, that would be a real cow. Such a powerful character that the whole family will support him as a treasure!"

Kargus was slightly startled, then puffed out and said:

"Let's put it this way, if you look up those awesome characters who have appeared in the transcendent and native world, those people are what you call them. Without relying on external forces, relying solely on their own will and efforts, they have abruptly broken their true attributes. Barrier guy.”

"If you want to achieve that step, you can no longer rely on pure chance. You must have a combination of talent, opportunity, and accumulation. You can't do it without any one of them!"

"Speaking of which, I remember that your boy got the qualification for the trial of transcendence in your paradise? Then do you know what this trial is based on? It is what you call breaking the true attributes with your own efforts. Barrier."

Is the Trial of Transcendence based on this downgrade of Paradise? !

Xin Lailai was shocked when she heard what Kagus said.

Regarding the Trial of Transcendence, he came into contact with it when he obtained the Transcendent suit, but at that time he did not get much information due to lack of authority.

When the authority level came up later, Xin Lailai made some inquiries and found out that this was the arrival of the golden age of the park. After the attribute strengthening mechanism was optimized, it was specially designed for those who were qualified to challenge the 80-point real attribute barrier with five attributes. A kind of trial to join.

The transcendent suit that he wears, which can be called a 'pioneer uniform', is proof that he has qualified for the trial.

As for the benefits of breaking through the five real attributes, according to Xin Lailai's research, the biggest feature is that you can obtain a [Perfect Physique] that is stronger than the [Real Physique].

——The biggest feature of [Perfect Physique] is that it can increase the [All Potential Ranks] that determine the upper limit of the contractor's physical attributes on the basis of [Real Physique]!

It can be said that this alone gives Xin Lailai absolutely sufficient reasons to challenge the trial of transcendence, even if this trial must be conducted during the third-level promotion assessment.

"Besides, even if you have enough talent, opportunity, and accumulation, relying on your own efforts to break the real barrier actually has nothing to do with you guys from the paradise camp."

Kargus glanced at Xin Lailai and said:
"The physical attributes of the people in your Paradise camp are locked by the brand of Paradise. In this case, it is at least ten times more difficult to break the attribute barrier by relying on your own efforts than that of people in the native world or the void, let alone You kid, even I can’t imagine how perverted a little monster like that really is.”
