Retracting his gaze from the attribute interface, Han Xiao turned around and saw Kasuyi getting restless, as if he wanted to personally try out the strength of a Transcendent. He smiled and waved his hand.
"There's no need for sparring. I've just stepped into the Transcendent Grade and am still not familiar with my strength. If I can't control it well, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and kill you. That way, I'll have to revive you and cause me more trouble."
Is that what you're saying?
Kasuyi tilted his head.
Seeing that Han Xiao had no intention of showing off, Kasuyi did not force him. He could only give up on this thought for the time being. Anyway, there was still a long way to go, and he would see it sooner or later.
Glancing at the four of them, Han Xiao smiled and said,
"Everyone, I still need to familiarize myself with my strength, so I'll take my leave first … By the way, Wuornos, just inform me when you're ready to unseal the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter."
With that, he nodded and left, disappearing in front of everyone in a flash.
The remaining four looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Black Star had shown them the way to step into the Transcendent Grade. This secret was most valuable only if they kept it to themselves. None of the four of them were willing to leak it out. If it was in the past, they might have thought of killing him. However, times had changed. Black Star was suppressing them, and the association had unified the Beyond Grade As. There were still enemies outside, so they could only endure sharing this secret with others.
"Don't forget Black Star's instructions. It's enough for us to know his advancement method. Without his permission, don't reveal it to others," Sierron said with a deep voice.
"Heh, do I look like someone who would spout nonsense?" Milizaus snorted.
"Black Star is the president, and we're also members of the association. Of course, we won't speak carelessly, but the direct descendants of the civilization might not." Kasuyi narrowed his eyes and stared at Wuornos.
Hearing this, Milizaus and Sierron also turned to look at Wuornos with subtle expressions.
The three of them had no motive to leak the secret, but as a direct descendant of Ethereal, if the upper echelons of the civilization asked him for this method, would he keep it a secret?
As members of the association, the three of them considered from the standpoint of the faction. If the method to advance to the Transcendent Grade was only grasped by the association, it would be a new bargaining chip to attract Supers. They would also be able to suppress the three Universal Civilizations in terms of individual strength.
Wuornos had a calm expression and did not compromise verbally. He casually said, "I will also try to advance. Even if I don't say it, they will know when the time comes."
"Tsk." Sierron snorted and did not refute.
Seeing that the three of them had nothing else to say, Wuornos did not stay any longer. He turned around and left in a hurry.
He just wanted to return to the Arcane Church as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to study Black Star's advancement method.
Kasuyi and the other two watched as he left, but they didn't move.
"Ethereal's national treasure is in this guy's hands. With Black Star's success, Ethereal most likely won't be lent to outsiders for advancement …" Milizaus smacked his lips.
"Hmm, in that case, I'm afraid only Wuornos and the direct descendants of Ethereal can replicate the method Black Star used. We can forget about it." Sierron nodded.
"Black Star is a Mechanic and has reached a higher level. Maybe he can research a replacement. We'll know when we ask."
Kasuyi's expression was calm.
Considering that Ethereal's national treasure was an indispensable tool for Black Star's advancement method, the few of them had the thought of snatching it. However, after thinking about it, they decided against it. Wuornos was not easy to deal with, and the three of them represented the association. It was not suitable for them to cause trouble for Black Star.
Now that Black Star had opened a new grade, his position as the head of the association was even more stable. Originally, they were all of the same grade. Even if they listened to Black Star for the time being, they would not treat themselves as Black Star's subordinates.
However, as Black Star entered a new grade, their relationship changed subtly. It was just that the three of them had yet to feel the subtle change in their subconscious.
At this moment, Milizaus thought of something and asked, "By the way, although the advancement method has to be kept a secret, there shouldn't be a need to hide the fact that Black Star has entered the Transcendent Grade from the association, right?"
Kasuyi shook his head and said,
"Black Star didn't give any special instructions, so there's no need. Furthermore, there's no need to hide such a good thing. However, it's only limited to the upper echelons of the association. Don't spread it. As for the three Universal Civilizations, they will most likely know about the situation through Wuornos, but they won't spread it casually. "
…
On the other side, in the Arcane Church.
"What did you say? Black Star actually succeeded?! "
The Ethereal Pope's eyes widened in shock.
Wuornos, who came to report, nodded calmly and said, "That's right.
Black Star has successfully stepped into a higher level of individual strength. He named it the Transcendent Grade. I witnessed it with my own eyes. "
"… Didn't you say that it's very difficult to step into a new grade and that it's not a big deal to lend the Ethereal National Treasure because Black Star will fail a few times?"
The Ethereal Pope stared fixedly at Wuornos, his heart filled with shock and anger.
"Oh, I miscalculated." Wuornos was expressionless and unapologetic.
"That's it? Do you think you can get over it with just one sentence?! "
The Ethereal Pope glared at him, becoming more and more annoyed.
If you hadn't emphasized time and time again that this deal was definitely profitable, why would we have lent the Ethereal National Treasure to help Black Star advance?
You're probably in cahoots with Black Star, so you're speaking up for him and tricking me, right?
I'll be damned if I believe you!
"Then what do you want?" Wuornos glanced at him.
The Pope closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions before speaking again.
"No matter what, it has already happened. Think of a way to salvage the situation."
Because of a wrong decision, he had helped Black Star reach a higher level of individual strength. His intestines were green with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have rejected Black Star's request!
However, now was not the time to shift the blame. He was the one who gave the order, and he could not shirk the responsibility. The Ethereal Pope quickly shook off the interference of anger, regret, and other emotions and thought about the gains and losses.
"On the bright side, at least we got the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter back … provided that Black Star doesn't go back on his word." The Ethereal Pope shook his head.
"There's no need for him to go back on his word," Wuornos said calmly. "This Universal Treasure is no longer a threat to him."
"That's true …"
Hearing this, the Ethereal Pope felt even more upset. He felt that the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was no longer attractive.
This deal was a huge loss!
However, at this moment, Wuornos slowly said,
"However, it's not like I didn't gain anything this time. I watched the entire process of Black Star's Promotion and have already grasped his method. I'm no longer as clueless as before. I can replicate this successful case and reach a higher level."
The Ethereal Pope was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up.
Although Black Star's advancement to the Transcendent Grade was beneficial to the war, it was definitely not a good thing for the three Universal Civilizations in the long run. However, his direct descendant had learned Black Star's Promotion method. As long as he succeeded, he would have another Transcendent Grade individual strength to fight against Black Star, forming a new balance. He would not have to worry about Black Star losing control!
More importantly, the one who had grasped this method was Ethereal. Even if the three Universal Civilizations were on the same side, there was still a difference between them. Ethereal could suppress the other two in terms of individual strength!
The Ethereal Pope's mood immediately improved. He asked solemnly, "How confident are you of succeeding?"
Wuornos thought for a moment and nodded. "There's about a seventy percent chance that I can reach the Transcendent Grade like Black Star."
"Alright!"
The Ethereal Pope was energized.
A seventy percent chance was quite high! When they chatted in the past, Wuornos had said that he was not confident at all. Now, the chances had increased countless times.
In that case, helping Black Star this time would not only not be a loss, but it would even be a small gain?!
Thinking deeper, it was fortunate that Black Star needed to borrow the Ethereal National Treasure this time. Otherwise, if he were to secretly advance behind closed doors, the direct descendants of the civilization would not be able to know, and this advancement method would be monopolized by the association.
Wouldn't that be even more disadvantageous to the three Universal Civilizations in the future?!
Thinking of this, the Pope felt much better. He finally smiled and said, "Don't worry.
"Ethereal will do its best to provide you with resources to help you step into the Transcendent Grade. If you need anything, feel free to ask. Don't stand on ceremony!"
"Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony."
Wuornos nodded.
The Ethereal Pope thought for a moment and said, "Also, keep the matter of you knowing the advancement method a secret for the time being. Don't tell anyone. As for Black Star's successful advancement, I'll inform the leaders of the Radiant Federation and the Red Empire. We have common interests in this regard, and we can't hide it. We have to talk to Black Star. "
"Up to you, as long as it's helpful to me."
Wuornos did not care about these miscellaneous matters. He only wanted to copy Han Xiao's advancement method. He seemed to see the higher level that he dreamed of waving at him.
…
A day later, in the Black Star Corps' territory, exclusive machinery factory.
Han Xiao stared at the thundercloud-like Mechanical Force ball floating in his palm. His pupils constricted as if he was observing the microscopic world.
After a while, he suddenly clenched his fingers and crushed it into pieces, creating a faint golden shockwave.
"The last class stage of the Mechanic class, the power is really strange …"
Han Xiao mumbled to himself.
Over the course of the day, he had mainly been experimenting with the new abilities brought about by his Class Advancement. At this time, he had more or less figured it out.
[Transcending Divine Artifact] was a core talent, like the advanced version of [Spirit Artifact]. The success rate of developing and creating Gold Grade blueprints was greatly increased, and there was also a small chance of creating a Space Wonder grade product.
Most importantly, this talent unlocked a higher special grade, which was the red 'Divine Artifact grade'. However, this thing was not created but strengthened on the basis of the original machinery, greatly increasing the effect. Furthermore, there was a limit to the number of 'Divine Artifacts'. At most, three 'Divine Artifacts' could be strengthened.
However, the target of the bonus could be changed. The mechanism was similar to that of Apostle Weapons. If he wanted to strengthen the fourth machinery into a Divine Artifact, he just had to take back the previous Divine Artifact.
[Energy Base-God of All Machines] was also a core talent, and it was similar to Sorokin's [Soul Energy Foundation Stone]. The effect of this skill was that the basic unit of energy production was no longer limited to cells. Machinery and virtual data could also produce energy.
If Han Xiao turned himself into a mechanical body, virtual life, or artificial life form, he would be no different from before, and his strength would not be affected. This meant that he could already exist without his physical body at will.
From this point of view, Herberlon's fusion of flesh and machinery was just an incomplete version of this ability. [Energy Base-God of All Machines] was the final form.
In addition, this talent also brought a high Machinery Affinity bonus, which was very shocking.
[Information Uniqueness — Conceptual Immortality] was not an ability brought about by the Class Advancement but a talent that reached Grade X. Just as Han Xiao had guessed, after entering a new Grade, his own Information Form existence had undergone a huge change, and he had the power to automatically revive.
Be it a life form or network data, as long as there were information carriers in the universe that recorded his deeds, as long as he was not forgotten by everyone, as long as there were people who still remembered his name, he would not completely die.
If he died, there would be no need for the Sanctum Revival. He would also spontaneously cause an Information Form disturbance and be reborn in a certain area of the universe, close to eternal immortality.
The most important point was that the rebirth brought by this talent would not damage the integrity of his information, which meant that it would not be like the Sanctum Revival, which would be weaker every time he revived.
The only question that puzzled Han Xiao was that the Sanctum was also an information carrier. If [Information Uniqueness — Conceptual Immortality] was applicable to all situations, could he survive the Iterations?
He did not know if there were any Transcendent Grade existences in the previous Iterations. If this conjecture was true, those Transcendent Grade existences should have been left behind. Then, they should have a greater impact on the current universe.
"It would be great if I could test it."
Han Xiao shook his head.
He felt that the Sanctum, which was' outside the three worlds and not in the five elements', was probably not an information carrier for [Information Uniqueness — Conceptual Immortality] to take effect. The range of this talent should only be limited to this universe and the secondary dimensions.
However, even so, it was strong enough. Just like what the attribute interface said, everything in the world was one with him, and the Information Form was the source of his existence. As long as there were no accidents, he could really live to the end of the universe.
The three talents were all very useful, and the few skills were also extraordinary. Among them, [Mechanical Deity — Supreme Heavenly Venerate] was the advanced version of the Mechanical Deity … No, rather than saying that it was an advanced version, it would be better to say that the original Mechanical Deity was only the basic form of this skill.
The Mechanical Deity could change its structure on its own, and it also had the concept of a blueprint template. Some Mechanical Deities in specific forms had additional basic functions.
[Mechanical Deity — Supreme Heavenly Venerate] was one of the final forms of the Mechanical Deity. Its power was much higher than the 'advanced version of the Mechanical Deity' that Han Xiao had created. It was on a completely different level.
The skill introduction showed that the skills obtained at this step were different for the three Mechanic branches. [Mechanical Deity — Supreme Heavenly Venerate] belonged to the Virtual Branch, while the Armed Branch and Energy Branch were [Mechanical Deity — Universe Emperor] and [Mechanical Deity — Origin Divine Lord] respectively. They corresponded to different final forms, which sounded very powerful.
Not only that, through the core talent [Energy Base-God of All Machines], he realized that when he transformed into a Mechanical Deity, he no longer needed his physical body as the core to provide Mechanical Force. He could directly turn the body into his own body!
This meant that if he truly became a Mechanical Deity, he would not even need to consume any energy. Even if he did not have the means to quickly recover energy, he could almost maintain the Mechanical Deity state indefinitely and live in this form!
In addition, [Life Transformation- Virtual] and [Life Transformation- All Machines] had similar effects. These two abilities could change one's life form, and with the support of [Energy Base-God of All Machines], one's body was no longer a cage.
At the same time, these two skills could not only be used on himself but also on others. As long as the judgment was successful, he could instantly transform the target into virtual data or mechanical bodies, changing the form of existence of the other party. He could turn all the people on an entire planet into mechanical bodies or virtual life forms. It was almost close to the power of a 'god'.
[Virtual Creation (Pseudo)] was even more unbelievable. According to the skill introduction, this ability was similar to the World Tree's ability to transform between virtual and real. It could transform things created in the virtual world into real objects, just like a real god of creation.
However, the reason why this ability had a 'pseudo' suffix was that there were many restrictions. First of all, he could not transform items that did not exist in reality, that he did not know, and that went against the rules.
Secondly, the transformation required an equivalent amount of resources. For example, copying and pasting the data of a mechanical army in the virtual world would require the corresponding materials. Using this skill to transform, he could directly skip the manufacturing process. It was very suitable for mass-producing soldiers.
It was also very useful in manufacturing. Even the Universal Treasures that he knew of could be mass-produced using this method. The success rate was basically 100%.
However, the third restriction was the biggest problem. The transformation was temporary. Once the time was up, it would disintegrate on its own and could not exist for long.
"This ability is considered a Space Wonder in the eyes of ordinary people. It's called Virtual Technology, but it should be an Information Form ability. I still need to study it more …"
Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
Although [Virtual Creation (Pseudo)] was very magical, because of these restrictions, it seemed a little meaningless to say that it was useful. It was useless, but it was still somewhat useful. Through [Godly Stronghold], he could temporarily increase the number of soldiers, but it was still much inferior to a true Space Wonder like the World Tree.
"However, this ability is quite similar to the World Tree. Could there be any connection …"
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he had a bold idea.
Perhaps the World Tree could eat him and make up for its flaws. On the other hand, if he pulled out the World Tree, he might be able to make up for this ability and remove the suffix of the skill …
