Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 837 - 398: Volcan’s Abandoned Slag, Anchoring - Seven of the Omniscient World!_2

Chapter 837: Chapter 398: Volcan’s Abandoned Slag, Anchoring Chapter Seven of the Omniscient World!_2

Divine Tools of such nature, obtained from monsters, have an extremely low probability of dropping.

Aside from the Divinity that Lin Xun previously farmed from the Mist Barrier Monsters in the Omniscient World, the majority of Divine Tools he obtained were not through monster farming.

For instance, in the Blood Sun World, he pried gems from the statue of the ’Profane Blood Sun’; in the Evil God World, he found Divine Tools underground in the ’Fairyland Pleasure Quarters’; and in the Firefly World, he obtained Divinity within the ’Firefly Spirit Temple’.

The sources of the Apostles’ Divine Tools are mostly from opening treasure chests or accidental findings, and all are acquired at random without certainty.

Take the previously experienced Blood Sun World as an example, if another Apostle were to tackle it, they might not even find ’Blood Sun Gems’ at the top of the initial tower.

The Chapter’s Divine Tool might be hidden somewhere else, or it may not have spawned at all.

Only in the Omniscient World, an existence that stands out even in the hell Chapters, can one steadily farm Divine Tools from ordinary monsters.

Lin Xun felt that there must be some secret hidden within, but for now, he just didn’t know it.

Once he re-entered the Omniscient World, he might be able to solve the mystery and massively farm Divine Tools, further improving his Soul Talent.

This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xun wanted to enter the Omniscient World once again.

[You have used ’Volcan’s Abandoned Slag’ (Legendary Grade Tool)!]

[You have gained 1 point of Divinity!]

Lin Xun opened the panel and saw the long-missed plus sign next to his Soul Talent.

"It wasn’t easy, but finally, you’re here..."

He didn’t hesitate and immediately clicked the plus sign.

[You have consumed 1 point of Divinity, Soul Talent level +1!]

[Soul Talent: Thousand Faces and Million Forms+5, your soul has a unique taste, encompassing all forms and rejecting none. You can effortlessly inhabit any Shell. Talent effect: Greatly increases compatibility with Shells (+65%), adds 16 Avatar Slots]

The compatibility increase was still as expected, amplifying by ten percent.

With the +65% compatibility boost, aside from extremely abstract-looking Deformed Monsters or very large behemoths, there’s practically no humanoid Monster that can escape his clutches after death.

If the Talent were to increase by one more level to +75% compatibility, then he truly could inhabit any Monster he killed.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but recall the information about Soul Talent that Li Long had shared with him.

Once an Apostle’s Soul Talent reached +6 and then progressed to +7, the Soul Talent would undergo a significant change, acquiring some special abilities.

Because at Mythical Level, or Demigod Level, one can touch upon the rules and perform extraordinary feats.

With the Soul Talent enhanced by Mythical Level Divinity, one can also enjoy ’extraordinary’ abilities and thus slightly touch upon the very origins of the rules.

Thinking about it, after the compatibility bonus reached +75%, basically no Monster would be able to avoid the miserable fate of being exploited by Lin Xun after its death.

Although his Talent was still exceedingly strong, the benefits of further improving the Talent were not nearly as great as they were initially.

With the Soul Talent upgrade at +7, there will be new enhancements, and for Lin Xun, who already had an abnormal Soul Talent, it would be an even greater improvement compared to ordinary Apostles.

Lin Xun certainly wouldn’t complain that his hacks were too powerful; everyone despised those who joined the Moonshadow Wind Spirit Sect for their advantages, but if the person doing the exploiting was oneself... then there’s no problem.

With the increase in Shell Slots brought by the Talent Thousand Faces and Million Forms rising to 16, plus the original Shell Slot included at the start of the game, his Shell Slots had reached 11/17. If other Apostles saw this, they’d probably be so envious they’d shout to kill the cheater first.

[Your Shell ’Seeker of the Primordial Hermit’ compatibility has broken through the critical value to 103% (+65%), Shell quality improved!]

[This Shell’s quality has been upgraded from ’Legendary Grade’ to ’Legend+ level’!]

The compatibility of all Shells in the Shell Slot increased simultaneously, and the ’Purgatory Angel’ reached 99% compatibility with the bonus, just a point shy of advancing from Legend+ level to Mythical Level.

"Pity it’s just that one percent short."

In reality, as his Soul Talent improved, Lin Xun felt an inexplicable power emerge and grow within his mind.

Unlike before, the pain from the Soul Talent upgrade wasn’t intense and was still within an endurable range.

The +4 Soul Talent improvement previously provided him with a basic capacity for sensory perception; this time, it continuously strengthened and expanded that ability.

After a while, the unknown power gradually receded.

Lin Xun silently experienced the changes brought by the Soul Talent upgrade.

His consciousness instantly spread from his mind, radiating throughout the living room, the entire villa, and half the estate.

He could detect every activity, like ants crawling in corners, birds perching on branches, and raindrops falling from the eaves after rain, every detail vividly present under his meticulous perception.

It was like observing through a magnifying glass at arm’s length, not missing a single detail.

Compared to the last enhancement of mental strength, this time the boost in sensory perception could be described as a leap.

Yet the benefits of the Soul Talent upgrade went beyond that...

He could feel that the ’Flesh Authority’ deep within his soul had also improved to some extent—not an increase in control power, but rather an improvement in the speed of controlling the authority and the rate of development.

If "Beginning of the Holy Spirit" was like an injection of a cardiac stimulant to temporarily elevate one’s control over their soul to the limit they can currently withstand,

then enhancing the Soul Talent would be like taking a long-term tonic, gradually increasing the development and control bit by bit.

"Soul Talent is truly the foundation upon which an Apostle stands!"

Of course, the mysteries of the soul from "Beginning of the Holy Spirit" weren’t useless skills.

According to the unspoken rules of the game, a soul mystery with such a high-class name wouldn’t be a trash skill.

Lin Xun guessed that the increase to authority from "Beginning of the Holy Spirit" wasn’t a fixed number, but grew multiplicatively, or even exponentially.

It was just because his current mastery over authority was so low that "Beginning of the Holy Spirit" seemed to truly be just a ’beginning’.

Only when one’s control over authority reached a certain value would the soul mystery elevate a slightly strong soul to the soul of the gods.

This was fitting for the prestige described in "Beginning of the Holy Spirit."

A week had passed since the disciple war, and Lin Xun’s soul strength cap had finally recovered a bit, returning to 3/3.

This period of rest allowed him to completely relax.

"It’s time to truly start the seventh difficulty level..."

Lin Xun felt he couldn’t simply waste over a month, waiting for his soul strength cap to fully recover, waiting for the allocation of the pastoral area to finish...

He had a vague feeling that if he didn’t hurry to reach the final Chapter of the game soon, something unexpected might happen.

The wheel of fate kept turning, and he had no time to stand still.

"At worst, when I encounter a monster that is too strong, I’ll wait for my soul cap to fully recover, and for the others to finish allocating."

Entering the seventh Chapter of the Omniscient World required an "Anchoring Bookmark."

He only had one "Anchoring Bookmark" at hand, which if used for the Omniscient World, would leave the Evil God World inaccessible, but that wasn’t a major issue in the New World.

Lord Cain had put out word that whoever within the organization could hand over an "Anchoring Bookmark" the fastest could become one of the chief disciples’ proxies.

The moment this news was released, it caused a sensation.

Not just the middle and lower disciples, but even those in reserve were eager to find the "Anchoring Bookmark."

Lin Xun believed it wouldn’t be long before he effortlessly got what he wanted.

He took out his phone and manipulated his shell to go in front of the Book of Salvation in the library.

[You approach and touch the "Book of Salvation," your powerful soul resonating with the book.]

[Do you wish to open the next Chapter and begin your next journey to Save the World?]

[...]

[You have used the "Anchoring Bookmark"!]

[Please select the subsequent Chapter you want to anchor...]

[1. Chapter 327 (Nightmare)]

[2. Chapter 82740877 (Hell)]

[3. Chapter 63942577 (Hell)]

Only three choices lay before him, one for the Blood Sun World, one for the Omniscient World, and the third for the Evil God World.

As for the subsequent Chapters of the Firefly World, they would no longer appear in the "Book of Salvation."

Lin Xun pressed the second option.

[You have chosen to anchor Chapter 82740877 (Hell)!]

[You have entered the Doomsday Chapter.]

[Chapter 82740877]

PS: The reality storyline has accumulated enough filler; it’s time to start the dungeon.

I take the liberty to ask for a day off tomorrow; the laid-back author needs to sort out the plot, carefully check, and see if any plot holes have been missed.

After all, many pits were dug in the Omniscient World, as the saying goes, digging a pit is a moment of fun, filling it is a crematorium...
