Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

[Yes/No: Improve the Abyss Basic Skill Level 1. To improve this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Small) × 1 + 50000 Paradise Coins. ]

Seeing the upgrade fee prompted by the Samsara Paradise, Lin Yi said he was used to it.

As for any skill that has anything to do with the Abyss, which one is easy to use? The entry-level upgrade fee alone is enough to discourage ordinary contractors, but this price is more affordable than Lin Yi expected.

As Lin Yi continued to invest resources, the level of the Abyss basic skills soared like a rocket, breaking through the level 20 mark in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the currency required for upgrading is also upgraded from Paradise Coins to Soul Coins.

After reaching another level of ten, Lin Yi chose to give up the upgrade.

There is no way. A series of core skills such as Sword Master have not been upgraded yet. The basic skills of the Abyss will be upgraded when I have more money in the future.

[Abyss Basic Skills: Lv.30 (Passive Skills)]

Skill Effect 1: Continuously optimize the abyss power in the body, and all abyss skill damage +35%.

Skill Effect 2: Increases abyss resistance by 2 points.

Abyss resistance is a necessary attribute for most contractors, especially in the high-level world, where the probability of encountering an abyss invasion increases exponentially.

According to the statistics of Samsara Paradise, among the contractors above level seven, nearly 38% of the deaths were directly related to the abyss.

Without sufficient abyss resistance, one will most likely be assimilated the moment coming into contact with the power of the abyss and become a puppet of the abyss.

For the contractors of the Abyss, every time the resistance is increased, the accuracy of controlling the Abyss energy will be improved by one level, and the risk of backlash when casting skills will be significantly reduced.

Lin Yi withdrew his thoughts and turned his attention to the upgrade options to the sword master.

[Yes/No: Improve the Sword Master Level 27. To improve this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Complete) × 5 + 135000 Paradise Coins. ]

At this time, Lin Yi had a total of 12 soul crystals (complete), all of which were opened from treasure chests. Perhaps because of the erosion of the power of death, the Black Throne Continent was like a desert, and no soul crystals had been produced naturally for hundreds of years.

Right now, the upgrades to melee combat masters and basic healing skills are stuck at a resource bottleneck. This stagnation in the Reincarnation Paradise is tantamount to chronic suicide.

As the energy of the 10 complete soul crystals was absorbed by the Samsara Paradise, Lin Yi's consciousness was suddenly pulled away, and the world in front of him was spinning.

When his vision refocused, he was shocked to find that he was compressed into the body of a green grass.

This wonderful experience allowed Lin Yi to feel with interest the essential differences between plant life and the human body.

If an ordinary person wants to have such a life experience, he may have to go through reincarnation to achieve it. But at this moment, with the help of the magical power of the reincarnation paradise, he directly merged his consciousness with a blade of grass perfectly.

The breeze blew gently, and Lin Yi could clearly feel every blade of grass swaying with it.

What he saw was no longer a human visual image, but a plant's unique way of perception - the stomata on the leaves were breathing, the root tips were searching for water in the soil, and even the temperature changes of the sunlight on the leaves were transformed into quantifiable energy flows.

What shocked him most was the unique rhythm of life of plants: instead of the rapid heartbeat of humans, there was a slow and steady cycle of energy.

Nutrients in the soil are continuously absorbed through the roots, forming a unique energy network in the stems. Sunlight is transformed into the driving force for maintaining life through chlorophyll.

This completely different way of survival gave Lin Yi a completely new understanding of the word "life".

"So that's how it is..." Lin Yi thought to himself, "Although the vitality of plants is fragile, they are extremely resilient. As long as the roots are not destroyed, they can continue to regenerate. This characteristic may be used in my swordsmanship."

As time passed, the grass that Lin Yi possessed was also growing quietly.

Just as it was sprouting new leaves, several hungry beasts approached, smelling the scent.

Their sharp claws were already pressing on the grass stems, and the saliva dripping from between their fangs soaked the soil.

At the critical moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

Suddenly, a sharp cold light flashed from the edge of the grass leaf, and a beam of extremely condensed sword energy broke through the air and instantly pierced through the throat of the nearest beast.

The rest of the beasts fled in terror, leaving behind only the gradually cooling corpse.

This aroused Lin Yi's interest. Although the physical body can release sword energy, both Lin Yi and Su Xiao tried their best to use weapons.

The reason is simple, the amplification effect of weapons is much stronger than directly releasing it with the physical body.

Lin Yi's consciousness was immersed in this little grass, carefully experiencing the unique way this sword energy circulated.

The body structure of plants is completely different from that of humans: there is no intricate network of meridians, nor are there explosive points for muscle force.

But it takes a different approach, transforming the natural flow of life energy in the vascular bundle into the best carrier of sword energy.

This little grass does not simply release the sword energy, but reshapes its entire life form into a sword.

Just as Lin Yi was immersed in this mysterious realization, the remaining beasts were completely enraged by the death of their companions.

They bared their fangs, let out low growls from their throats, and slowly approached from all directions.

But Lin Yi's consciousness was unusually calm. He felt the grass swaying lightly in the wind, and a breathtaking cold light gradually condensed on the edge of the grass leaves.

"Shh-"

A sword energy thinner than a hair quietly bloomed, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The sword energy was so fast that it transcended the boundaries of time. When the beasts sensed the danger, their heads had already been separated from their bodies.

What was even more surprising was that wherever the sword energy passed, the wounds were instantly sealed, and not even a drop of blood splashed on the green grass.

In an instant, Lin Yi felt that the flow of time suddenly accelerated.

In his sight, countless wild beasts rushed into the valley one after another, but all died in front of the seemingly weak grass leaves.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, and as the seasons change, this little grass grows quietly in this world, turning every ray of sunshine and every drop of rain and dew into its own nutrients.

Until one day, the sky of the whole world suddenly darkened.

An ancient god's claw that covered the sky and the sun tore through the void and descended upon this world with a breath of destruction.

Just when the ancient gods thought this was just a wild land——

A bright sword light shot up into the sky from the valley!

This sword light easily pierced through the ancient god's body, leaving a lingering light mark in the void.

In this shocking scene, Lin Yi's consciousness was suddenly pulled away.

[Hint: Sword Master has been upgraded to Lv.29. ]

[Sword Master: Lv.29 (Passive Skill)]

Skill effect: Increases sword attack power by 482%, nerve reflex speed by +130%, and greatly improves sword skills and reaction ability.

Although the sword master has no new skills, Lin Yi can already vaguely sense what the next skill will be.

He vaguely realized that the grass that possessed him this time was no ordinary being. Perhaps when Lin Yi went to the void in the future, he would be able to learn about the life experience of this grass.

The remaining two soul crystals (complete) were used by Lin Yi to upgrade to a master of close combat, which was considered to be a good use of them.

After upgrading his core skills, Lin Yi began to turn his attention to the 4 gold skill points.

In the previous world, purification had been upgraded to EX level. Now he decided to change direction and pour his skill points into [The Favor of the Goddess of Luck].

Although Lin Yi's current luck value is much higher than that of a normal contractor, luck is something that you can never have too much of.

For example, when opening the box this time, if the goddess of luck had not intervened, Lin Yi really could not guarantee that he would be able to get such rich supplies with his luck.

With the four gold skill points invested in [Luck Goddess's Love], the skill level soon changed from LV.MAX to LV.EX, and the description of the skill effect also changed. [Luck Goddess's Love (Passive) LV.EX]

Skill Effect 1: True Luck attribute permanently +15 (increases by 5 points).

Skill Effect 2: Seek good fortune and avoid disaster: When the hunter's fate is about to end, fate will warn the hunter.

……

[Tip: The lucky attribute of naked equipment has reached 20 points. The hunter can choose one of the following rewards. ]

A. Blessing of the Goddess of Luck: The luck attribute is permanently increased by 5 points (due to the hunter's personal reasons, the increase effect is doubled).

B. Luck: When you open a treasure chest, the probability of obtaining additional benefits is greatly increased (including the appearance rate, quantity or quality of rare items). If the treasure chest may trigger negative effects (such as curses, traps), the probability is reduced by 50%.

C. Battle Luck: In battle, an implicit luck check is performed every 10 seconds (based on the current luck value). If successful, the enemy will bear the bad luck judgment. If the judgment fails, you will bear the bad luck judgment.

D. Fate Mist (Rare Reward): Immune to all prophetic abilities (including but not limited to divination, cause and effect tracing, fate peeping, etc.). Any attack that relies on fate logic (such as guaranteed hit skills) will be ineffective against you. Your own existence will slightly disrupt the rules of fate around you, causing unexpected changes in the development of events related to you.

Seeing the four new options, Lin Yi could only say that it was worthy of being the most difficult attribute to improve, and none of the options given were weak.

There is no need to introduce the first and second options. The first one simply and crudely increases the luck value directly, and the second one can greatly increase the benefits when opening the treasure chest. These two are very practical abilities.

The third one is very interesting. It is to give Lin Yi a blessing in battle. Once the judgment is passed, the opponent will continue to suffer bad luck.

Imagine that when the enemy is about to launch a fatal blow, his feet suddenly slip, not only will the attack miss, but he may also hit the blade himself.

This seemingly coincidental misfortune can often play a decisive role in a life-and-death duel.

Lin Yi did not quite understand the fourth option, the Mist of Fate, but the eye-catching rare reward mark explained it all.

This is probably the most powerful ability of the four options, and may even involve higher-level rules of fate.

After a brief consideration, Lin Yi finally chose the Mist of Fate.

The moment he made the decision, something seemed to have changed.

The river of destiny that was originally clearly visible above Lin Yi's head suddenly became blurred, as if it was shrouded by a layer of mysterious fog.

This sudden fluctuation of fate was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing uproar in the entire void. Those powerful people who specialized in the law of cause and effect showed their magical powers.

But unexpectedly, all the deductive methods they were proud of were ineffective at this moment - it was as if an absolutely dark blind spot suddenly appeared in the long river of fate, and all the relevant causal lines were strangely twisted and broken.

Just as the powerful men were in doubt, the goddess of luck and the goddess of fate, who had just left, also noticed something unusual.

Although these two goddesses are always known to be unreliable in the eyes of other gods, it is undeniable that they are indeed the oldest existing gods of destiny.

The two of them also naturally noticed the changes in the thread of fate, but unlike those powerful people who were frantically calculating, the goddess of fate gently stroked the spindle of fate in her arms: "Interesting. Since that war, there has been no existence that can completely escape the long river of fate for a long time."

The two of them stopped their exploration tacitly. As the oldest gods of destiny, they knew better than anyone that anything that could cause such a large-scale change in the river of destiny was either a demon that was about to cause a world-destroying calamity, or a variable that could rewrite the rules of the world.

Instead of searching for it now, it is better to wait and see.

Anyway, such existence will jump out on its own sooner or later.

And the moment Lin Yi made his choice, an unprecedented feeling of lightness suddenly swept over his body.

He was shocked to find that several marks were being forcibly peeled off from his body, like removing a layer of invisible shackles.

The first thing that emerged was a ball of gray and dead power, followed by a scarlet energy filled with madness.

The most horrifying thing is a seemingly ordinary brand - it looks plain on the surface, but upon closer inspection it can make one's soul tremble, and contains a kind of horror that is beyond cognition.

Lin Yi himself didn't know that there were so many ghost things in his body. These existences were tracking methods using fate as the medium, and they could not be gotten rid of under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, with the [Mist of Fate] taking effect, Lin Yi's existence has completely "disappeared" from the long river of fate, and these marks that have lost their anchors have suddenly become rootless duckweed.

The three stripped powers appeared in the skill upgrade chamber and immediately triggered the defense mechanism of the Samsara Paradise.

The mark of the power of death collapsed first, and the Mad King's gaze disappeared along with it. On the contrary, the mark that looked inconspicuous was able to hold on.

He vaguely felt the existence of a distant dimension, which seemed to be casting a vague gaze at him through this brand.

【Warning: The presence of Ю〓§¤ has been detected, and high-level permissions have been activated. 】

As the reminder sound of the Samsara Paradise appeared, the sky of the entire Samsara Paradise darkened. The next second, a huge dark red mark slowly emerged - "ф".

At this moment, all the contractors in the entire paradise fell into silence. It was the first time that everyone felt such a terrifying power in the Samsara Paradise. Could it be that invaders from other forces had invaded the Samsara Paradise?

At the moment when everyone was guessing, the dark red "ф" mark suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and the entire skill enhancement chamber began to vibrate violently.

Lin Yi instinctively assumed a fighting stance, but found that his body was completely unable to move - this was the highest level of suppression force from the Samsara Paradise.

Countless chains shot out from the void, wrapping around the strange brand layer by layer.

The chain suddenly tightened, and cracks began to appear on the surface of the brand.

Just when it was about to be completely shattered, a hoarse voice sounded directly in Lin Yi's mind: "We will meet again in the end."

With a crisp "bang" sound, the brand finally turned into countless points of light and dissipated.

The sky over the Samsara Paradise became bright again, as if the strange change just now had never happened.

Lin Yi lay in the skill upgrading chamber, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, leaving a dark mark under his body.

His fingertips were still trembling slightly uncontrollably - this was the body's most instinctive reaction to an impact that exceeded its endurance limit.

It had never thought that there was such a terrifying existence in its body. You know, Lin Yi is no longer a rookie now, and he has some understanding of the top power in the void.

Judging from the power just displayed by the brand, the opponent is definitely not an absolutely powerful existence. It is very likely that he is the strongest, or a terrifying existence above the strongest.

After a while, Lin Yi directly took out two soul crystals (middle) as tickets to enter the inheritance space. This time the matter was too big, and Lin Yi had to tell Hill about it and ask for her opinion.

After entering the inheritance space, Lin Yi told Hill what he had encountered. After listening, Hill immediately called Lao Miefah, Rutheran, and Marvin Waltz over.

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, several people fell into deep thought. As residual souls, no one knew better than them how terrifying the existence of the Samsara Paradise was. Even the strongest people standing at the pinnacle of power were just as small as ants in front of that existence.

And this time, the opponent was able to compete with the Samsara Paradise with just one brand. Anyone who could do this could not be an ordinary strongest being, but very likely an existence that is above the strongest.

Looking at the entire void, there are only two people who can reach that level.

One of them is the leader of Arcane Eternal who holds supreme authority and is revered by the world as the Supreme One.

The other is the Lord of the Abyss, who has been lurking at the bottom of the abyss for countless years.

Considering Lin Yi’s previous experiences, this mark was most likely left by the Lord of the Abyss.

"It's okay. This is a good thing for you." Lao Miefa took a sip of tea and did not say anything about this.

The existence of the Lord of the Abyss is too far away for Lin Yi now. Revealing the truth rashly will not only be of no benefit, but may also disturb his state of mind.

"Well, this is Raglan Dimostol, I'm handing it over to you."

Hill reached out to take the fragment, and the moment her fingertips touched it, the fragment turned into a ray of dark light and merged into her body.

Companion weapons are different from ordinary weapons. Their repair does not rely on forging or repairing. Instead, they require the owner to use his own strength to nurture them over a long period of time in order to gradually restore their former power.

Afterwards, Lin Yi told several people in detail about the recent changes in the situation in the void. After the communication was completed, he turned around and left the inheritance space.

The inheritance space is no longer valuable to him. If he wants to continue to pursue the higher-level inheritance of the Abyss Doctor, he may have to use an item like the Universal World Key to find a new opportunity. (End of this chapter)
