With a soft click, the bronze box finally opened.
A pure white light shot out from inside, extremely dazzling, instantly dispersing the terrifying and strange aura of the entire River of Assassinations.
There was a white rune lying quietly inside the box. It seemed to have sensed its new owner. It immediately jumped out of the bronze box and came to Li Xiang.
"This aura doesn't feel like a Ruler of Disasters at all." Li Xiang was stunned as he looked at the white assassination tattoo floating in front of him. If it was not in the River of Assassinations, Li Xiang would not have thought that this thing was an assassination tattoo that carried the aura of a Ruler.
Because it was tainted with the aura of disasters, ordinary assassination tattoos were very strange and terrifying, and their abilities leaned towards the dark side.
However, this white assassination tattoo was different from the ones he had seen before. A feeling as vast as the sea of stars was transmitted from the tattoo to Li Xiang's body, as if it contained a universe.
[Assassination Tattoo: Paradise of Ashes]
Its name suddenly appeared in his mind.
Li Xiang could not help but reach out to touch it. The assassination tattoo cheered and immediately burrowed into his right palm.
An unpredictable feeling that was sometimes cool, sometimes hot, sometimes warm … flowed in his palm.
He turned his palm over and found that there was a white tattoo embedded in his palm. The shape had already changed into an unknown rune. Every time he looked at it, it would be different, as if it was changing at any time.
As he merged with the [Paradise of Ashes], the memories of disasters that belonged to it surged into Li Xiang's mind like a tidal wave. The huge amount of information almost made him faint. Fortunately, with the super recording ability of the Machinery Heart, Li Xiang was not shocked into an idiot by that moment of memory impact!
The memories of the [Paradise of Ashes] were too chaotic and disorderly. The only thing that could be confirmed was that it had lived in the sea of stars where the disasters were and had never come to the human camp. Those memories of battles had all taken place in the sea of stars, and the enemies it had fought were all indescribably powerful.
Those calamities were completely different from the dominators he knew. They were much more evil and powerful. If those things invaded the human camp, Li Xiang was sure that even with the Great Wall of Disaster and countless Level-9 players, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They would have no chance of winning.
It was unknown when the memories of [Infernal Paradise] came from, but in the chaotic battles, even the Calamities that were like cannon fodders at the edge were comparable to the current Monarch Calamities!
As far as the Human Faction knew, the Monarch Calamity that could control the Gates of the Abyss was the strongest of the Calamities. Below it, there were still six levels, ABCDEF. Even the weakest F-Grade Calamity required the strength of a Level 3 player to deal with alone.
Once they gained control of an Abyssal Gate and became a Monarch rank Disaster, they would be as feared as a Demon Lord. If such a Disaster participated in the battle of the Great Wall of Calamity, many high-level Night Watchers would fall.
But in this ancient memory, the rulers were just cannon fodder at the sidelines.
It was too terrifying.
Could there be even more terrifying and mysterious existences and worlds beyond the sea of stars?
Li Xiang shuddered. He knew that he could not think about it any further. Currently, he only knew that [Infernal Paradise] was one of the clones of a powerful existence. Therefore, it was different from ordinary rulers. It could transform into the form that its master desired.
In other words, if it was Ellie who obtained it, perhaps it would become a substance that was more compatible with the Void Life.
To Li Xiang, firearms were clearly the best weapons. They were also the most compatible with him.
With a thought, the pure white sniper rifle, [Infernal Paradise], transformed from the assassination tattoo, fell into his hand.
[Infernal Paradise] could be considered a Disaster weapon. It was completely different from all the firearms Li Xiang had seen before. It was no wonder that Bai Lili and Lancelot had spent so much effort to create a Disaster weapon …
Their structure and design concept were not something that could be imagined by human calculation. Without the help of a Mechanical Heart, even the greatest human Mechanic could not truly see the core design of such a Disaster weapon.
Even Duke Silo, who stood at the peak, could not do so.
This was something that surpassed the human dimension. It was like the difference between two dimensions and three dimensions. There was a difference of one dimension. Two dimensions and three dimensions. That was the difference of dimensions. It was not something that could be made up by oneself.
The Mechanical Heart was something that Lancelot had created to break the dimensional wall!
From this point of view, his achievements in mechanical creation had indeed surpassed his brother Silo's.
However, after obtaining [Infernal Paradise], Li Xiang immediately realized that Lancelot's Mechanical Heart was only a crude design.
If the Mechanical Heart and [Infernal Paradise] were in the same dimension, the difference between them would be like a toy gun in the hands of a child and a submachine gun in the hands of a soldier.
To create a higher-level firearm, one must first transcend the dimension they were in.
In other words, one must break through the shackles of the human species.
For the human camp, this would require the accumulation of countless human eras. Humans could evolve step by step without going extinct. Perhaps they could finally reach this dimension.
Li Xiang was like a pioneer who walked at the forefront. He had fused the four major genes of human, Disaster, machine, and Void. In terms of evolution, he was definitely the most advanced life form at this stage.
This was probably why [Infernal Paradise] chose him as its master.
That powerful existence needed a spokesperson in the human camp.
It was committed to the balance and stability between the camps. Anyone who intended to destroy this was its enemy.
Now, it had sensed the huge changes that had occurred between the human camp and the Disaster camp.
Bai Lili and Lancelot, as well as more variables, were things that it could not tolerate.
In order for Li Xiang to accept its power, it could only give it to a clone and show it in a form that he could understand.
This was [Infernal Paradise].
The pure white sniper rifle had a unique design. It was almost weightless, but it felt very solid in the hand.
In short, the laws and rules that Li Xiang knew did not exist on it. They were not applicable. The mechanical structure of the gun body was exquisite. There was a white round wheel that looked like a clock on the left. Inside it was a ring-shaped recorder. The ancient Roman numerals I to XII rotated in order. It looked like a clock.
This represented the different gun skills of [Infernal Paradise].
On the right was another white round wheel that looked exactly the same. Inside it were white, red, black, and blue colors, each occupying a quarter of the area.
This represented the gun body mode of [Infernal Paradise].
White was the final form, representing the time and space mode.
Red was the violent form, representing the burning and fire mode.
Black was the shadow form, representing the corrosion and hiding mode.
Blue was the initial form, representing the purification and healing mode.
Every form had different strengths and powers, so in terms of skills alone, there were completely 48 different types of skills in [Infernal Paradise]!
Of course, Li Xiang would have to slowly learn these through the player's advancement in the future. Once he had completely mastered it, he would be able to freely change the mode and gun skills and completely possess the power of that existence's clone.
It needed to clear all the unstable factors on its own.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and allowed the assassination tattoo of [Infernal Paradise] to quietly transform his body.
Every player's body would fundamentally transform the Magician's body, making them truly different from ordinary humans. This was also the major difference between players and below.
However, this transformation was too violent. Many people who did not have enough foundation or relied on drugs to reach Level-3 were likely to explode and die during the transformation process.
His bones were trembling, and his blood was flowing at high speed. Li Xiang was a Magician who had broken through the shackles of Level-3, but it was still difficult for him to move freely under such a high-intensity transformation.
It was obvious how much pain an ordinary Magician would have to endure!
He endured the pain. As long as the transformation was complete, he would completely possess a player's body. In the future, he would only need to cultivate as an assassin. The most difficult threshold had been crossed, and the future was promising.
The advancement of an assassin took all the external weapons and equipment of a Magician, as well as the physical changes. As for the weights, magic circuits, and magic spells, they were closely related to the Magician. If the Magician did not obtain the magic runes, within a month after the transformation, these things would slowly dissolve and become the nutrients of the assassination tattoo.
As for the guardians, they would need to pour everything into the fountain of faith and let it slowly nourish them. Therefore, in theory, even if one was lucky enough to obtain three professions, they would not have enough resources to nurture them.
Raising three professions to Level-2 would most likely take half a person's life, but it did not mean that he would be able to challenge a Level-3 player above his level.
Li Xiang would not passively wait for the summons of faith to appear in his heart. He could only deal with the assassination tattoo as soon as possible.
The excruciating pain in his flesh almost caused him to faint several times, but he managed to endure it.
Every time he experienced such unforgettable pain and experience, the figures of Ming Xu and Ye Tong would appear in Li Xiang's mind. They were still waiting for him to return, and he could not fall in a place like this.
They had promised to live a happy life together after everything was over …
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Li Xiang chuckled. Suddenly, he felt the flowing magic particles in the air around him!
Being able to sense magic particles in the environment was the biggest difference between a player and a Magician.
Magic particles were the basic structure of the world, and Source Particles were the foundation of magic particles.
Humans' progress came from being able to use Source Particles. Everything had started from there.
As a further form of energy, magic particles were unstable and required a strong affinity, which prevented them from being popularized.
After countless years of exploration, humans were finally able to allow magic users to use Source Particles through their own bodies or equipment. This was the difference between magic users and normal humans.
Normal humans mostly used steam machines, which were even more inferior forms of energy.
Magic particles were more powerful than Source Particles.
Even magic, with the help of a certain amount of magic particles, could be greatly enhanced, such as special bullets. However, magic users could only borrow this power through special means. They could not produce it themselves.
The activation of the magic circuit was to allow magic users to sense magic particles for a long time, paving the way for them to become players in the future.
All of this was for this moment.
Li Xiang waved his arms curiously. The magic particles dispersed in the air like water. They were gentle to the touch and made him feel very comfortable.
There were so many magic particles in the air!
Now, he could easily manipulate these magic particles and use them for his own purposes with just a raise of his hand.
Therefore, some players who did not have strong physiques could easily crush magic users!
The magic you relied on for a living was just using special means to move magic particles, and they could be controlled by players at will. This meant that your magic would be ineffective.
As long as Li Xiang wanted to, he could easily destroy the magic spells cast by Magicians with a lift of his finger. The operation of basic magic particles was cut off, and their power was naturally greatly reduced.
From this moment on, he could be considered half an Assassin.
When he left the space turbulence and learned assassination techniques, as well as the use of magic particles and assassination tattoos, he would officially be a Level-1 Assassin!
Li Xiang felt that all his previous efforts had been worth it. A true metamorphosis should have a qualitative change like this.
He merged the Paradise of Annihilation back into the tattoo on his palm.
After he successfully merged, the Paradise of Annihilation immediately turned into its initial azure color. This mode was purification and healing. It could heal injuries and at the same time, purify everything in the disaster camp. It was also effective on humans.
If it hit a person, it would erase many of their attributes. Of course, the effect depended on the person, and it was not that overpowered.
After he came out of the river of assassination, the long flowing river slowly disappeared, as if it was just for him.
Ellie, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sensed Li Xiang's different aura when she saw him.
"You succeeded!?" Ellie's expression was complicated.
To be honest, after hearing from her father that it was difficult for a human to become a player, she did not have much hope for Li Xiang.
If he died, she would die too. It was a very troublesome thing, but there was nothing she could do.
Who would have thought that he would really succeed and become a player without a sound?
"I haven't completely leveled up yet, but at least I'm not in danger." Li Xiang nodded. His palms were cold, and the magic particles flowing around him made him feel very comfortable. It was as if his body could be maintained at peak condition.
Although he had lost all his weapons and equipment, his vitality had reached an unprecedented level. He had passed the peak of Level-3, and there was a bright future ahead. Now, he could level up again. Li Xiang had crossed the limit of humans and was moving towards the realm of a new species.
After feeling the strength of a player, Li Xiang felt a lingering fear. He had offended General Shogun so much before, and he had even leveled up to Level-2. If General Shogun had really wanted to kill him, he would have died without the protection of Night Shadow and the others.
No matter how many trump cards he had, no matter how much potential he had, he would not be able to withstand a single blow from absolute power.
What about Level-3 players like Hestria, Level-4 players like Andrea, and those people from the Tarot Faction …
He had been too naive in the past.
But it was because of such a big gap that they would not even bother to deal with him. So what if he had a big name?
If he could not become a player, it was all for nothing.
This was why Bai Dongxue's evaluation was so much higher than that of her peers.
Li Xiang clenched his fists.
The time for revenge was not too far away.
"What's next?" Ellie asked tentatively. She had not obtained a player carrier yet.
"I have to continue looking for a player carrier. You come with me. Then, when these Void Rifts close, we have to give our new friends a little surprise."
Li Xiang sneered.
He would not forget the hatred between Polar night and Lighthouse. He would let those aristocratic forces remember it with blood and tears forever!
