Chapter 849: Chapter 403: Star Realm Shift, The Undead Army’s Carpet-Style Search_2

"That is the combination of Mandate of Destiny and Power of Will Authority, but the authority power remaining in the gemstone is far too small, and moreover, quite unstable... The rank of the ’Book of the Favored’ greatly surpasses that of the gemstone, and using the gemstone to transfer fate will not affect the Book of the Favored."

"Artifacts of destiny are manifestations of authority power... It turns out it’s not that I’m unlucky, but this thing can hardly produce a high Luck Value for the Book of the Favored."

"According to the Knowledge servant, even if I were to roll a high number due to an explosion of good character, it seems it would still not affect the outcome of drawing from the Book of the Favored."

Lin Xun, feeling helpless, could only start the draw without stacking BUFFs.

"You open the ’Book of the Favored’ with a heart full of piety..."

"The pages of the book rustle as they flip rapidly before finally settling on a sheet of paper."

"Printed on the snow-white page is an ancient scroll that’s only slightly unfurled, yet from that yellowed parchment one can see countless beautiful, twinkling stars."

"’Ancient Scroll Recording Star Magic Skills’ (Mythical+ Class Item): The ancient scroll contains a powerful star magic known as ’Star Realm Shift’!"

"’Star Realm Shift’ (Mythical+ Class Skill): Traverse freely through the vast Star Realm, a favor granted to you by the Stars."

"By using this skill, you can transport yourself to any specified location within your current field of view! The farther the transport distance, the longer the spell chanting time, the more mana it consumes."

"After completing the spell chant, you will enter the Void, during which time you will receive no damage until you flash transport to the specified location."

"You can also use this skill in a non-combat state to transport to any ’Rest Page’ that isn’t within your line of sight! The chant duration is a fixed 300 seconds, during which any movement or damage taken will interrupt the casting."

Lin Xun’s eyes widen, what kind of god tier escape skill is this?

The star magic known as ’Star Realm Shift’ not only allows transport to any point within view range but also a free return to base.

Moreover, if used at the right moment, this skill can even avoid damage output from enemies, making it a rare life-saving god tier skill indeed.

True to products of the ’Book of the Favored’, it’s of premium quality.

"The ’Knowledge servant’ can’t help but reveal a smile when it sees the page settle on the scroll recording ’Star Realm Shift.’"

"It laments that those chosen by the True God seem to always have decent luck, being favored by such divine grace is a matter of course."

"With that, it waves its hand, and countless pure white characters emerge out of nowhere, densely surrounding an ancient parchment scroll that appears."

"The ’Knowledge servant’ stuffs this ancient scroll into your hands..."

"You obtain ’Ancient Scroll Recording Star Magic Skills’ (Mythical+ Class Item)!"

Lin Xun chuckles as he opens his inventory to gaze at the newly acquired skill scroll.

However, he soon discovers that among his many Shells, only one meets the conditions needed to learn this skill.

’Son of Evil’, ’Purgatory Angel’, and ’Star Lord Canis’ have no mana to cast this skill even if learned."

And the ’Face of the Association’s President’ in the Shells column, due to its low rank, would degrade the Mythical+ level skill to Legend+ level if it were forced to learn it.

Only the ’Fallen Catastrophe Witch’ could learn ’Star Realm Shift’ without causing the skill’s quality to fall.

Lin Xun pondered for a long time but shook his head, deciding not to teach the Catastrophe Witch this godly skill.

The Witch’s combat power is quite lackluster, and fights don’t involve him directly, relying on pets instead.

He doesn’t need the Witch to enter combat at all; merely using the ’Appearance of the Queen Bee’ is enough to summon undead to fight."

’Star Realm Shift’ is more suited for traditional mages that engage in direct combat, allowing for teleportation to open gaps."

"I need to advance the plan to find a high-level Mage Shell as soon as possible."

In the Omniscient World, what’s abundant are Mages, you could say that nearly every human basically fits the mage career template."

But to learn a Mythical+ Class skill without degrading the skill level, at least a Mythical Level Mage Shell is required."

Of course, Lin Xun’s goals go far beyond just that."

"Seeing you secure the divine favor reward, the ’Knowledge servant’ slowly speaks, it’s time for you to set off once again, to continue your journey."

"The puzzles in your heart, the hidden secrets behind this world, all will be answered in your journey to come."

"The great ’Almighty True Knowledge’ will always provide you guidance..."

"The ’Knowledge servant’ smiles as it bids you farewell, waves a hand, and a beam of white light envelops your entire body..."

[An ancient voice echoes within the temple...]

[Chosen one of the True God, the authority you currently wield is about the flesh and body, but please remember, there is only one path to enhancement for any kind of power... and that is to strengthen the soul.]

[Transporting...]

[...]

[...]

[Transport Successful!]

Lin Xun was taken aback.

Although the Knowledge god servant did not directly tell him the method to usurp the power of will authority, the warning before leaving the temple was like giving him a small sweet date.

To draw an analogy, it is like asking the boss for a raise, only to be flatly rejected without a second thought.

Afterward, fearing that you might lay down your burden and resign on the spot, the boss compensates you with a few hundred dollars as a bonus.

And teases you with promises, saying that as long as you keep working hard, the day for promotion and salary increase will eventually come.

[A powerful Wandering Soul awakens amidst the endless enchanted fog...]

[You open your eyes and survey your surroundings. Under the cover of the fog, you can vaguely see scattered wreckage of a ’Refined Copper Carriage’ not far away.]

[This is where you previously battled with the ’Direct Gaze Branch Association Scholar’ of Seeking Knowledge, but now that ’Scholar’ and his carriage have vanished without a trace.]

[In the infinite fog, it seems like you are the only person left in the entire world...]

[Will you stay where you are and wait for the ’Scholar’ to come pick you up, or will you venture deeper into the fog, heading towards the ’Polar Star Association’s temporary base’ as indicated by the Travel Map?]

Lin Xun waited at the spot for quite some time, but the ’Scholar’ did not show up, and it was unclear where he had gone.

Without the navigation-enabled Refined Copper Carriage, he had no choice but to set off on foot.

[You take a step forward, following the guidance of the Travel Map, into the depths of the endless fog...]

[...]

[Within your view is only the white expanse of thick fog. Soon, you lose your sense of direction in the mist, not knowing where you are.]

[Blindly wandering will only lead you further away from the ’Polar Star Association’s temporary base.’ You know that it’s meaningless to continue exploring.]

[Will you choose to self-destruct, returning to the Rest Page?]

Lin Xun frowned, recalling the embarrassing situation in Chapter four when he had aimlessly scrambled through the fog and ultimately had to resort to self-destruction.

He was no longer the Humble Ameng of Wu City, and after a short contemplation, he devised a method to explore the fog.

[A tall, sullen shadow emerges behind you, a gray-white aura of death swirling around the magic wand in its hand. It raises the short staff, murmuring a complex and profound incantation...]

[As the chanting proceeds, pale skeletal arms burst from the ground, and long-dead beings obey the summons of the ’Catastrophe Witch,’ returning from the netherworld to the realm of the living!]

This was the Shell Skill ’Undead Servants’ of the Catastrophe Witch; although its quality was of the Legend+ level, its power left much to be desired, summoning only weaker, low-level undead.

The few advantages of the skill were its low mana consumption and the vast number of summoned undead.

With the current strength of the ’Catastrophe Witch,’ he could summon over five hundred low-level undead at once. These little skeletons were so weak they couldn’t even contribute to the bloodthirst value and were only good for mobbing small creatures with sheer numbers.

The main combat power of the ’Undead Servants’ skill did not lie with the little skeletons but with the legitimate summoned creatures bound by the contract.

It’s just that Amos’s Bone Dragon was too shoddy, Lin Xun had no interest in it at all.

[Under your command, over five hundred ’Skeleton Warriors’ scatter and run, their forms disappearing into the fog.]

[You can sense the location and status of each ’Skeleton Warrior.’ should they encounter any anomalies, they will return here to report to you...]

Lin Xun didn’t know how far he was from the ’Polar Star Association’s temporary base,’ but any exploitable locations nearby wouldn’t be able to escape the carpet-style search of five hundred little skeletons.

Who says you can’t lick the map if the war fog isn’t cleared?

This time, he intends to lick the map clean!
