My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 369 Astonishing Changes, Three Major Systems!
The original random combinations have disappeared, and have been replaced by pseudo-random permutations.

Without the Demon Emperor needing to explain, Xia Lin already realized that this was a positive evolution.

The pseudo-random replacement not only retains the original random combination effect, but also adds a special effect in conjunction with the Witness talent - the more familiar you are with an enemy's skill, the higher the judgment authority of that skill!
This actually solves the biggest weakness of random combinations—it can only beat noobs!
Since neither the pseudo-random replacement nor the original random combination belongs to the category of negative status skills, it will ignore the opponent's defense system and take full effect on the opponent.

The authority assessment mainly focuses on the skill level of the swapped skill—an SSS-level random combination cannot shake a foundational skill.

Although Xia Lin has already triggered the Third Law for the fifth time, his judgment authority is already quite high. However, considering that the stronger he becomes, the stronger his opponents will be, this change is equivalent to turning a random combination that can only crush weak opponents into a pseudo-random substitution that can be used as a decisive factor in winning against stronger opponents!
This is the difference in the upper limit!
"Not only that."

The Demon Emperor spoke again, saying, "This is also a manifestation of the initial integration of professional ideals."

"The Shadow of Uncertainty represents chaos, the unknown, and randomness, and random combinations are the concrete manifestation of this direction. Now that random combinations have disappeared and been replaced by pseudo-random replacements, it also means that your Shadow of Uncertainty class has been affected by the Pillar of Eternity, resulting in a transformation from the unknown to the known."

After a moment's thought, the Demon Emperor said with certainty, "This is of great significance."

It is indeed of great significance, but the Demon Emperor will not say exactly what that significance is.

Since Xia Lin could only see the changes in himself from the skill effects, and his comprehension was not enough to understand the Demon Emperor's riddle, he simply ignored it.

The system notification sound from the Ash Zone continued to ring in my ears.

The dual-class conflict will not affect your skill: East Wind Domination.

[Dual class conflict will not affect your skill: Fair Trade.]

The dual-class conflict will not affect your skill: Ghost Five Elements Black Blaze Slash.

Your professional conflict is a conflict, but what does it have to do with our non-professional skills?
Hey, you know what, it actually is related!

[Due to dual-class conflict and unstable mutation, your skill: Ergonomics, has changed!]

Ergonomics is not a professional skill, but it is affected by the conflict between dual professions.

Xia Lin listened attentively, her heart pounding with trepidation.

[Because your skill "Human-Machine Ergonomics" and your skill "Material Mimicry" share similar properties, they can be deeply integrated. Integrate/Decline?]

[Note: You can choose not to fuse them; in this case, neither skill will change.]

[Note: Due to your current unique situation, the Ember Zone system cannot accurately assess the consequences of fusion.]

Xia Lin sighed deeply...

"This is a difficult choice."

Human-machine ergonomics is the core of the Black Origin Martial God form and is considered one of Xia Lin's main combat methods.

Even the importance of the Black Origin Martial God form has surpassed that of the random combination system—in some ways, Xia Lin felt that the human-machine ergonomics skill was no less significant to him than the random combination.

But then Xia Lin changed her mind and immediately made a decision.

"There's no need to hesitate, just merge them with me!"

Because the Twin Shadows prevent all accidents.

And if the robot's efficiency is lost, he can buy it back from the cookbook.

Sorry, I have plenty of leeway; even if I make the wrong choice, I can make amends.

And this choice did not disappoint Xia Lin's expectations!

[Your skills: Human-machine ergonomics and material mimicry, fully integrated!]

Open your personal attributes panel and look at the skills bar.

Xia Lin discovered that the ergonomic skills for his first profession had disappeared.

The description of the material mimicry skill in the second profession has also changed!

[Material Mimicry (Racial Heritage Level): Passive Skill, exclusive to the Pillars of Eternity. You can absorb any kind of matter, become familiar with and analyze its properties, and perform full/partial mimicry to acquire its traits, characteristics, and powers!]

Note: You can only use this skill to absorb inanimate objects!

Note: You can exit the mimicry state at any time and perfectly separate the absorbed substances!

The new material mimicry is essentially a combination of human-machine ergonomics and the original material mimicry, a two-in-one system that also frees up a skill slot.

With a thought, Xia Lin merged the Unity Realm Core with the county magistrate who had always been in the form of an iron pillar, and successfully activated the Black Origin Martial God form using the Material Mimicry skill!
The entire process was even smoother than the original ergonomic system.

Furthermore, its strength has also been subtly improved!

After a quick glance, Xia Lin quickly realized the origin of this promotion.

"The original Black Origin Martial God form granted me some of the talents and skills of the County Magistrate and Thousand Star. The current Black Origin Martial God form not only grants me those original talents, but also integrates the Unity Realm Core and the County Magistrate himself, gaining additional amplification from their inherent materials."

Outwardly, this means that the attribute increase is stronger than before.

At the same time, it acquired characteristics inherent in the core material of the county magistrate and the unified realm, such as "indestructible", "interference of the heavenly way", and "breaking and creating worlds".

With his mind racing, Xia Lin immediately realized that the scope for manipulating the skill of material mimicry was ridiculously large!
Because it does not limit the number of external objects that can be incorporated!

"Judging from this, it seems that the Black Origin Martial God form is about to evolve again!"

However, further experiments are needed to refine the details.

Xia Lin doesn't have that much time right now.

The notification sound is still ringing.

[Your skill, Shadow's Recipe Book, is affected by dual-class conflict; its effect has been altered!]

Xia Lin's heart tightened.

Recipes are a professional skill, and are greatly affected by the conflict between two professions.

This skill itself is one of Xia Lin's core skills, so please don't let it deteriorate or regress.

This saves you from having to spend evolution points to upgrade the Twin Shadows talent level.

Xia Lin chuckled as he glanced at the attribute panel.

[Due to the dual-class conflict, the cost of your skill: Shadow's Recipe Book has been reduced.]

This reduction in consumption refers to a decrease in the cost of purchasing skills from the recipe book!

This is definitely a positive change, and it saves money!
Beside him, the Demon Emperor spoke up: "The conflict between dual professions won't all be negative; there's always a good side to it."

"The skill of using cookbooks has already undergone evolution and reorganization. It inherently possesses the properties of the known within the unknown and the certain within the uncertain, which is extremely consistent with your current situation. It is reasonable for positive changes to occur."

Xia Lin suddenly realized.

This is true.

The foundation of this skill is the Shadow's Unpredictable Dining Hall, a skill definitely in the style of the Shadow.

However, later on, there was a skill fusion at the Unpredictable Dining Hall, which led to the creation of the skill "Shadow's Recipe Book".

In terms of effect, the recipe book does indeed possess the "known within the unknown, certain within the uncertain" nature that the Demon Emperor spoke of. Currently, this skill not only fits with the Shadow of Uncertainty, but also has some connection to the Pillars of Eternity.

"Unfortunately, this skill is not a core skill of your profession, nor is it a talent, and it has nothing to do with the Six Pillars, so it cannot become the fourth bridge for your dual professions..."

The Demon Emperor felt a pang of regret.

In truth, He didn't know how many bridges Xia Lin needed to build to completely integrate the two professions, but every step forward was ultimately a positive change.

Unfortunately, the recipe was not qualified to serve as a bridge, and naturally could not advance the progress of Xia Lin's dual-profession integration.

Xia Lin, however, did not feel sorry.

What the Demon Emperor said was too early and too fantastical for him.

His position dictates that he cannot explore the fundamentals and the unknown, or analyze the inner workings of things like the Demon Emperor.

He only cares about the present and the moment.

[Due to a conflict between two classes and incomplete prerequisites, your skills "Non-existent Probability" and "Non-existent Extraction" have been forcibly sealed and cannot be used!]

[Twin Shadows talent activated!]

[Note: The Twin Shadows talent can prevent this class conflict issue! However, since this negative effect is continuous, the level of the Twin Shadows talent will decrease every time you use a non-existent probability or non-existent extraction!]

[Can this negative effect be eliminated by using the Twin Shadows talent?]

Xia Lin: "Dude... this can have a lasting negative impact?!"

This left Xia Lin speechless, and she couldn't help but complain.

The Demon Emperor, however, smiled and offered an explanation.

"It's best not to choose 'yes.' Don't use these two skills for now, or you won't be able to afford the consequences."

Xia Lin thought for a moment, followed the Demon Emperor's advice, and chose no. He then sold the two skills: the probability of non-existence and the extraction of non-existence.

Then, looking up at the Demon Emperor again, he heard the Demon Emperor speak slowly.

Why are so few people choosing the dual-career system? Because this system is actually not very meaningful.

“Every profession has depth, can be explored in detail, and can be developed to level twelve. The upper limit is not necessarily lower than that of dual professions…”

"For example, the Unseen Shadow."

"This profession represents chaos and the unknown, and it is the unknown that gives rise to miracles! This is the concept and extension of the Uncertain Shadow. And the miracle mechanism is actually the mechanism with the highest potential for the Uncertain Shadow!"

"This path, even at its end, may not be worse than the pinnacle of your current dual-class setup of Uncertain Shadow and Pillar of Eternity, but since you've made your choice, there's nothing to regret."

Xia Lin certainly wouldn't regret it.

First of all, he doesn't use the miracle mechanism often, and the problem Xia Lin is currently facing doesn't really require him to try his luck with miracles.

Then, the purpose of pursuing a dual-class path was to unlock more skill slots—and that goal has now been achieved.

Seeing no regret in Xia Lin's eyes, the Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "Actually, the Miracle Mechanism can still be used... but you need to complete a deeper fusion of the two classes before you can use it. Before you meet the prerequisites, this mechanism is most affected by the conflict between the two classes, and the negative effects are also the strongest. Rather than clinging to this mechanism, it's better to let go for now."

"Anyway, you haven't grasped the essence of the miracle mechanism, nor have you found the correct way to use it."

To put it bluntly: you're not good enough.

Xia Lin did not refute.

He really didn't understand this miracle mechanism.

If it's become a burden now, then let's just get rid of it—the probability of something not existing isn't a pity, but the extraction of something not existing is a bit of a pity.

But then I thought again... how lucky would I have to be to make the same mistake again?
This skill itself has many limitations, but I gained a lot of benefits from using it once, so it was actually worth it.

Continue listening to the prompt in your ear. [Your skill: Energy Conversion, unaffected by dual-class conflicts.]

Of course.

[Your skill: Versatile, but its effect has changed due to the dual-class conflict!]

It's only natural that the versatile and unpredictable skill set of the "Shadow of the Uncertain" class would be affected.

However, the change in the universality of the product is not a deterioration... but it is not exactly a positive one either.

It's hard to say.

[Your skill: Versatile, vanish!]

[The versatile effects are integrated into your class talents: Indeterminate Constant, Permanent Foundation, Twin Shadows!]

From this moment forward, once you acquire class skills from other professions, you can only place them in constant skill slots or permanent skill slots before using them! Your Shadow skill slots can also hold class skills from other professions!

[Note: You are temporarily unable to use class talents other than your dual-class setup!]

The advantage is that it frees up a skill slot.

The downside is that, functionally, the loss of the "all-purpose" ability has somewhat limited Xia Lin's skill set.

It's hard to judge the gains and losses after considering everything, but at least this conflict change didn't trigger the Twin Shadows talent.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Lin felt relieved.

Previously, when there was a profession, the versatility was very powerful because it allowed users to use the skills of other professions, which fit the theme and style of Uncertain Shadow.

He now has two jobs, which are incompatible and conflict with each other.

Just as when two countries are locked in fierce battle, there is naturally no reason for a third party to intervene.

[Your skills: Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art, Mental Power Tide, Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword, Life and Death Battle (Inferior), East Wind Ten Thousand Array Kingdom, Faith Sublimation, Transcending the Three Realms, Human, Earth, Heaven, and God Transformation, are all unaffected by dual-class conflicts.]

However, some skills have been detected that cannot be placed in the regular skill bar. Please adjust your skill configuration as soon as possible!

[Countdown: Three minutes.]

The Ash area was surprisingly kind, giving Xia Lin three minutes to adjust.

Xia Lin had already made his decision after Wan Yong disappeared.

Move the Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art to the constant skill bar so that it continues to be effective.

This is the foundation of the Black Origin Martial God form, and it cannot be lost under any circumstances.

On the contrary, Xia Lin directly sold out the Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword.

In his Black Origin Martial God form, Xia Lin already possessed the Thousand Star Martial Dao! And his former Thousand Star Power was even greater than that of the virtual level twelve Black Star.

If there's something better, then there's no need for something inferior.

Xia Lin also directly sold out the mental energy tide.

The original mental energy tide was designed to be used in conjunction with the Borderland Star warship form.

However, after the outer realm was formed, Xia Lin could quickly enter a more powerful Black Source Martial God form. The county magistrate's Black Source Endless Energy meant that Xia Lin had no risk of exhausting his mental energy. As the saying goes, if there is something better, why use something worse?
No adjustments are needed for the Battle of Life and Death (Inferior) and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Winds.

These two are not professional skills, but general skills.

With his faith elevated, Xia Lin chose to sell directly.

Because of her overpowered combo, Xia Lin doesn't really need any other limit-breaking skills—they're too weak and pointless except for wasting skill slots.

Being unable to move outside the Three Realms—that's a really powerful skill.

Even if the human, earth, heaven, and gods transform, they will not move, because this is not only a burst skill, but also one of the components of an overpowered farming combo.

Therefore, after the adjustments, Xia Lin's attribute panel looked like this:

[First Class: Unseen Shadow]

[Talent: 3]

【1. Indeterminate constant】

2. Unstable mutations

【3. Twin Shadows】

[Constant Skills Slots 6/10]

【1. Pseudo-random permutation】

【2. East Wind Domination】

3. Fair Trade

【4. Ghost Five Elements Black Blaze Slash】

【5. The Shadow's Cookbook】

6. Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art

[Standard Skills Slots 5/9]

【1. Battle to the Death (Unfavorable)】

2. Energy Conversion

【3. The Land of Ten Thousand Winds】

4. Transcending the Three Realms

【5. The Transformation of Man, Earth, Heaven, and Gods】

Second Class: Pillar of Eternity

[Talent: 2]

【1. A Permanent Foundation】

【2. Testimony】

[Permanent Skill Slots 0/3]

[Standard Skills Slots 2/2]

【1. Eternal Inscription】

2. Material Mimicry

The notification sound for the Ashes area is playing.

The conflict has reached a equilibrium.

Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comfortable."

……

It really feels comfortable.

The skill bar, which was originally packed full, now has a lot of empty space.

More importantly, the conflict between the two professions did not disrupt Xia Lin's original system; on the contrary, it further strengthened Xia Lin's system structure!
"Three major systems... I also have three major systems!"

First is the Eternal Engraving Random Replacement System!
This system is derived from the original random combination subsystem.

Originally, this system was designed to annoy people, with the main purpose of destroying the enemy's skill combinations. It can be considered a mechanic-based combat system.

However, as Xia Lin's strength increased, the enemies he encountered became stronger and stronger.

As everyone becomes wary of random combinations, the value of this system is decreasing.

With the blessing of the Pillars of Eternity, this system underwent a qualitative change!

Transform it into the current eternally engraved random replacement system!
The significance of transforming random combinations into pseudo-random permutations is self-evident.

As Xia Lin's only six-pillar level skill at present, Eternal Inscription has brought about a qualitative change in the strategic value of this system!

This is a combat system based on eternal inscription and pseudo-random replacement, featuring a powerful, skill-based mechanic.

Secondly, there's the incredible brush system.

The class conflict did not affect the effectiveness of the Life and Death Battle (inferior), so the foundation of the overpowered farming system remains, and with Xia Lin's slight adjustments, this system still has room for improvement.

Well, the first thing is to buy back the Twin Fusion skill that Xia Lin washed away before... I wonder what this skill will become under the dual-class conflict. If it's good, there's nothing to say. If it degenerates, Xia Lin also has ways to make up for it from other places.

Thinking about this, Xia Lin suddenly had this idea.

"It seems I can use pseudo-random substitution to trigger Donald's life-or-death battle, thus enhancing the effect of the overpowered farming combo..."

It seems that such an operation is feasible.

That depends on what Donald thinks.

Since they are willing, Xia Lin has to accept their kindness.

If the other person is unwilling, Xia Lin cannot force them, much less hold a grudge—how can you just give them your manhood like that?
Finally, there is the Black Origin Martial God system.

This system has been improved and strengthened after this round.

The key is the integration of human-machine ergonomics and material mimicry, which has raised the upper limit of this system once again!
This will also be Xia Lin's standard combat system going forward.

There are three systems: a development system, a regular combat system, and a system with powerful ultimate skills.

The configuration seems perfect so far, and Xia Lin has no complaints.

Looking up at the Demon Emperor, one could see that he had fallen into deep thought again, as if inspired by Xia Lin.

The voice of the Heavenly Rat rang in my ears.

"you can go now."

Xia Lin nodded knowingly, then took his leave.
