My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 384 The Complete Eternal Inscription Replacement System!
This newly developed replacement system undoubtedly has time limitations.

That is, the duration of the pseudo-random permutation: one hour.

An hour later, the skills returned to normal, and Scarlett lost the Treasure Maze system.

An hour may seem like a long time, but Xia Lin felt it wasn't enough...

In clashes between strong opponents, battles often drag on for hours – after all, someone of Xia Lin's caliber has far too many ways to protect himself.

Xia Lin already had ideas on how to extend the duration of this system, but this was clearly not something that could be accomplished with foundational skills or items.

"Therefore, I need more power from the Six Pillars..."

A few minutes later, on the 993rd floor of the Thousand-Layer Tower, Xia Lin, hiding behind Scarlett, said this.

Ahead, NO.7 reappeared, its crimson aura rising once more.

Sparks of light flickered, and the light of skills surged forth.

Scarlett simply activated the Heavenly Invocation, and in the blink of an eye, the Myriad Treasures Maze was formed!

The pure white assessment space was instantly filled with a mysterious and ethereal atmosphere.

In her Dao-integrating state, Scarlett instantly merged with this place, transforming into the Heavenly Dao of this place. This complemented the Great Luo Weaving Heaven Technique and the Myriad Treasures Star Luo Technique, further enhancing the power of the Myriad Treasures Maze!
Even though its attributes are inferior to those of the former spiritual treasures, after this six-pillar level Heavenly Invocation Divine Skill was added to this system, it was equivalent to Scarlett using the Myriad Treasures Maze with a cultivation level of half a step to the twelfth level. This made the Myriad Treasures Maze that Scarlett used even slightly stronger than the spiritual treasures!
This scene initially surprised Xia Lin, but then she laughed.

“The spiritual treasure has higher attributes, but Scarlett has the advantage of higher cultivation level.”

"She was originally an eleventh-level celestial being. After activating the Heavenly Invocation and attaining the Dao Integration state, she was not as good as a true twelfth-level being, but she was still half a step into the twelfth level."

"The Myriad Treasures Maze system doesn't rely on attributes; instead, it relies more on magic items and cultivation level."

"This pirated version is even better than the original... Can you believe it?"

This isn't absurd; on the contrary, it makes perfect sense.

As it turns out, the super system still has room for optimization; the "Heavenly Invocation" technique can optimize the Myriad Treasures Maze system.

And the Treasure Maze system is the nemesis of reckless players...

"Of course, Scarlett doesn't have the three six-pillar level magic weapons of Lingbao, only the Violent Alloy and the Sun Wheel Guardian Sword that I provided... so in terms of destructive power alone, this bootleg is still a bit lacking."

【Sun Wheel Guardian Sword (Six-Pillar Level Item): Forged from the essence of the Great Sun, it is the nemesis of all demons and monsters!】

[Function 1: Sun Wheel Protection: The wielder of this sword is protected by it, immune to most negative status effects below the sixth pillar level. If encountering a sixth pillar level negative status effect or effect, this function can also greatly weaken the relevant effect!]

[Function Two: Sun Wheel Slash: Chao Xing infused this sword with a trace of martial intent, enabling it to unleash a powerful move called Sun Wheel Slash! Once the Sun Wheel Slash is unleashed, who can contend with it! However, each time Sun Wheel Slash is used, a portion of the martial intent within will be permanently consumed! This function can only be used three times. Current usage: 3/3.]

"But weakening No. 7 to create an advantage for me is more than enough."

Two against one is obviously much simpler than one against one.

Less than an hour later, just forty-three minutes later, NO.7 roared and fell to Xia Lin's sword, turning to ashes.

Xia Lin was also covered in wounds, exhausted and seriously injured... This man was only slightly weaker than Donald, and it was quite difficult for Xia Lin to defeat him.

But regardless, a win is a win, and there were even unexpected bonuses...

Leaving the Thousand-Layered Tower, they handed over the chosen Soul Battlefield to Donald.

Xia Lin suddenly heard a sound of something falling to the ground in the distance, followed by a sudden uproar.

Turning his head, he saw Luo Zhidao lying on the ground, his body convulsing, as if he was so angry that he had suffered a stroke, which left Xia Lin completely bewildered.

"No, what's wrong with this guy?"

Hun Yi suddenly appeared beside Xia Lin with a cold face and said, "What else could it be? It's just that you NTR'd him twice in a row, and his proud little heart can't take the blow..."

Xia Lin's thoughts shifted, and she sorted out the cause and effect.

Watching Luo Zhidao being carried away by his colleagues, Xia Lin shook his head and offered his assessment.

"Luo Yonghao is actually a respectable person, but when a respectable person gets upset or angry, he tends to get upset with himself."

"If you get stuck in your anger and can't let it out, you'll either hurt others or yourself..."

Then, he and Hun exchanged a glance and both laughed heartily.

Xia Lin: I'm so angry I could kill you, you idiot...

Of course, Xia Lin did not expect Luo Zhidao to be so obsessed with the Wanbao Maze system. The fact that he was driven to madness by Luo Zhidao was just an unexpected gain.

After saying goodbye to the others, Xia Lin returned to his residence, rubbed his hands together, and continued operating the machine.

What are you operating?
Use the recipe book to reset the six-pillar level skills you've acquired to free, while accumulating more evolution points.

At the same time, we are looking for ways to build more super systems.

After completing the replacement of Scarlett's skill system, Xia Lin suddenly realized something.

His Eternal Inscription Replacement System may soon be completed, achieving its full version.

The fully-fledged Eternal Inscription Replacement System will no longer be a mechanism-based combat system.

Instead, it's a summon-based support combat system!

This will be a completely new system, surpassing all previous systems, and the strongest system ever!

……

We should not underestimate the enemy, but we also need not belittle ourselves.

Wu Xin is incredibly strong.

Xia Lin was no less impressive.

In particular, when Xia Lin replicated the Myriad Treasures Maze system of the Immortal Venerable Lingbao, the impact on everyone was enormous.

Wuxin's figure has not been seen on the 993rd floor for a long time.

Wuxin disappeared after passing the 992nd level of the Spirit Treasure Immortal Venerable.

There is a saying circulating about this.

Wuxin was afraid...

What are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of Xia Lin!
He feared that he would reveal more of his trump cards during the test, that Xia Lin would inscribe the system he had painstakingly built, and that Xia Lin would gain his power and then use it against him.

In any case, Xia Lin estimated that while the lack of interest in taking further action might be partly due to this factor, it wasn't the dominant one.

In short, Xia Lin pondered for three days and waited for three days, but Wu Xin still didn't make a move to challenge No. 7.

On the contrary, Donald made great strides, passing 998 levels in three days, only to be stopped by the examiner at the 999th level.

"That's it..."

This was the first thing Donald said to Charlin after the challenge was over.

"I really can't beat that Fifth Prince."

He repeated himself, revealing the identity of the examiner on the 999th floor.

He is not a Walker of the Ashes, but a native professional, the fifth son of the King of Kings, Wang Yanlin.

The genuine, untainted, and undisguised sons of the Six Pillars.

……

The facts have proven Xia Lin's earlier conjecture.

—In this Thousand-Layer Tower assessment, Liu Zhu probably never intended for anyone to pass.

Wang Yanlin is the examiner of the 999th floor. As the son of the King of Kings, he is also the lord of all armies.

This commander of ten thousand troops is far more powerful than the likes of Qin Tai.

Although not a Ash Walker, his basic attributes were compressed to the Ash limit, and his skill combination level was weakened, but he was still far stronger than Donald. Combined with the powerful characteristics of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies after he was fully formed, Xia Lin realized that he was far from being a match for this person just by seeing the image of Donald fighting Wang Yanlin.

"Oh, by the way, this person also asked me to pass on a message to you: he's waiting for you on the 999th floor."

Upon hearing Donald's words, Xia Lin smiled after thinking about it.

"Then I'll have to work even harder..."

Donald was even more straightforward: "Brother, I'll give you an extra boost."

Donald stuffed the power of the five strands and six pillars into Xia Lin's hands.

This is what Donald obtained after clearing floors 994-998.

—At the next level, the third reward is always this one, which Donald selected and has now been given to Xia Lin.

The gift is significant, and so is the sentiment.

Xia Lin didn't stand on ceremony and simply smiled at Donald, saying, "These five strands of six pillars of power have been a great help."

The power of the Eternal Inscription Replacement System has already been demonstrated once, and Donald is aware of this system.

Of course, he was not clear about the details of this system, but he learned from his casual conversation with Xia Lin that the system was still in its infancy and that Xia Lin needed more six-pillar level techniques as components of the system.

Those who break limits don't play by system rules, but by attributes.

Therefore, Xia Lin urgently needed the power of the Six Pillars, while Donald's need for it was not too great—he certainly had a need, and Donald was not at the full level of the Six Pillars, so this reward would definitely bring him an improvement, but at this moment he prioritized meeting Xia Lin's needs.

Xia Lin remembered this kindness.

After a brief chat, Xia Lin went home.

Drawing upon the power of five strands and six pillars, Xia Lin released Scarlett.

At this moment, the completion of the Eternal Inscription Replacement System has truly begun!
……

The first issue is the duration.

This system can only last for one hour, which is far from enough.

Xia Lin already had a solution to this problem; all he lacked was the power of the six pillars.

Now that we have the power of the six pillars, this problem is no longer a concern.

Scarlett raised her hand and took out the Kuntian Mirror.

This mirror is a magical artifact related to time, and it is quite mysterious.

Unfortunately, the foundational level limits the effectiveness of this item—the foundational level Kun Tian Mirror cannot affect the pseudo-random replacement effect of the six pillar level!
"Therefore, the first step is for the Kuntian Mirror to reach the Six Pillars level!"

After muttering these words to himself, Xia Lin released a wisp of the power of the Six Pillars and merged it into the Kun Tian Mirror.

The colorful light burst forth for a moment, then subsided after a brief fluctuation.

When Xia Lin looked at the Kuntian Mirror again, the Kuntian Mirror had undergone a qualitative change in its level!

[Kuntian Mirror (Level 6 Pillar Item) (Qu Yiyi's Exclusive Item): Kuntian Mirror, Mirror of Time!]

[Function: The Way of Time: By activating the Kun Tian Mirror with immortal power, the profound power of the Way of Time can be displayed!]

Apart from the level, the attributes are actually unchanged.

But Xia Lin didn't need anything else; all he wanted was this judgment level!
"Try?"

Scarlett held the Kuntian Mirror with great affection, and after playing with it for a while, she said this to Xia Lin.

Xia Lin gave a wry smile. "The pseudo-random permutation is still in its cooldown period, how can we try it?"

Yes, this is the second question regarding the Eternal Inscription Replacement System.

Skill cooldown time.

The system currently has two core skills: six-pillar-level pseudo-random permutation and six-pillar-level recipe book for the Shadow of Calamity.

The recipe for Evil Shadow does not have a cooldown period, but the pseudo-random permutation has a ten-day cooldown period.

However, due to the high level of six-pillar level skills, resetting the cooldown of these skills is very difficult—it requires items of the corresponding level.

In other words, it is a consumable item of the sixth level.

Well, what I was saying is that these six-pillar-level consumables don't seem to have much value...

Only the power of the Six Pillars can create skills, equipment, and items of the Six Pillars level. I use the power of the Six Pillars to create some equipment and skills that can stay with me forever. I would be a fool to use the precious power of the Six Pillars to create disposable items!

As for the six pillars creating this themselves... that would be a piece of cake.

The problem is, they have six pillars (a specific type of energy in Chinese astrology), not workers on your assembly line...

Therefore, it is not very realistic to reset the cooldown of a six-pillar level skill with an item.

But Xia Lin came up with a solution.

In the recipe book of pseudo-random permutation and Evil Shadow, in the eternal engraving permutation system composed of two cores, add another core!
Its name is: Fair Trade!

Xia Lin used the second strand of power from the six pillars for fair trade!
Not only that, Xia Lin also took out the Dream Soul Furnace to enhance the effect of this advancement.

"I need a fair trade, one that can affect the cooldown of six-pillar level skills!"

And this time, the Dream Furnace can grant your wish as well!
[Requirement: Probability of non-existence! 45 energy points.]

First came the act of appealing to the gods, then came the fair trade we see today.

In the back and forth, half of the Dream Soul Furnace's energy was used up... Xia Lin didn't regret it, because it was a necessary price to pay.

A tremor in the soul slowly arises, growing stronger over time.

About a minute later, the intensity reached its peak, as if someone was giving Xia Lin a head massage.

It's not uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it's quite comfortable.

Once you're comfortable, skill upgrades become a natural progression, and there's no conflict between the two classes!
[Your skill: Fair Trade, promoted to Six Pillars level!]

[Fair Trade (Six Pillars): Active skill, no cost. You can use your class, skills, attributes, talents, vitality, and everything else as a bargaining chip to permanently affect any thing or concept! This skill has no cooldown.]

Fairness, equivalence, the more you give, the more you receive!

This indicates that the changes are still minor, only the scope of the impact has expanded.

What was originally oneself or others has now been transformed into any thing, or even any concept!
"So……"

With a thought, the illusory image of the balance scale flashed past Xia Lin.

Unlike the previous ethereal and illusory scales, this time the scales were golden and tangible!
"Use the skills: Martial Arts Divine Transcendence, Crimson King, and Myriad Treasures Starry Sky Technique as bargaining chips to reset the cooldown of pseudo-random replacement skills!"

Three six-pillar level skills, reset the cooldown of one six-pillar level skill...

Is it possible?
Fair Trade: You're being so generous, bro, what else is there to say? I'll reset this CD for you.

No three six-pillar level skills were needed; the fair trade only took the Martial Arts Divine Skill and settled the matter.

Xia Lin didn't care.

I spent 0 evolution points to buy back the Martial Arts Mastery skill...

After completing the operation, Xia Lin suddenly froze.

He realized that his eternal inscription replacement system seemed a bit too overpowered...

This is even more outrageous than the godlike brush combo!

……

"But defying the heavens is good! Only by defying the heavens can we overturn the heartless one and defy the heavens that created us!"

Muttering to herself, Xia Lin glanced at Scarlett.

"Now we can start trying it!"

Instantly completing the skill swap, a pseudo-random swap was performed, and Scarlett transformed back into the Spirit Treasure Immortal Venerable.

In his hand, the Kuntian Mirror flashed, and Scarlett quickly responded.

"It can last for more than three days! But it still cannot last permanently."

Xia Lin nodded knowingly: "It's already pretty good."

The Kuntian Mirror, being a treasure from the Virtual Ash Zone, is inherently flawed. Even after being upgraded to the Six Pillars level, it will likely remain the weakest among the Six Pillars level.

The reason it has the current effect is actually due to the buff from the Myriad Treasures Starry Sky Technique—this skill can enhance the power of treasures and strengthen the power of the Kuntian Mirror.

Furthermore, the advancement of the Kuntian Mirror to the Six Pillars level can in turn amplify the strength of the Myriad Treasures Maze—this is the synergistic effect produced by the combination of skills and items.

"but……"

Scarlett suddenly laughed and said, "My Kuntian Mirror doesn't cool down."

Yes, the Kuntian Mirror did not cool down.

This means that although it appears to be three days, it is actually in effect permanently.

Xia Lin nodded in understanding, and the illusory image of the balance scale flashed again.

Therefore, all of Scarlett's skills that were obtained through the swap were wiped out by Xia Lin, and the cooldown of the pseudo-random swap was also cleared by Xia Lin.

Due to the effect of the Kuntian Mirror, the Wanbao Maze system remained on Scarlett. Xia Lin raised his hand to summon a Bomb Boy and activated the pseudo-random replacement again.

This time, however, he replaced the systems of No.7 and Donald.

A desperate, all-out struggle system.

……

This system, centered around the Crimson King and the Deadly Showdown, can't really be considered a super system.

The strength of this system stems from the superhuman abilities of those who break limits, not from how awesome the system itself is.

After reorganizing Bomb Boy's skills, the Kun Tian Mirror's light stabilized his skills, but his combat power... was just average.

"I could switch to the Life and Death Battle (Inferior) to improve Bomb Boy's attributes. I could even use the power of the Six Pillars to upgrade Life and Death Battle (Inferior) to the Six Pillars level..."

"But it doesn't make much sense."

The strength of Limit Breakers lies in their ability to break attribute limits, a characteristic inherent to their class. From this perspective, the Eternal Inscription Replacement system is actually incompatible with the Limit Breaker style, resulting in diminishing returns.

After thinking it over, Xia Lin decisively abandoned the idea of ​​creating an "artificial Donald".

Take Scarlett out and enter the Thousand-Layer Tower to challenge level 994.

Fifty minutes later, the challenge was successful. Xia Lin helped Donald change to a level six item, and left Thousand Tower with a smile, returning home.

"Eileen, this is yours!"

Eileen, Scarlett's sister, is also someone Charlene can trust.

What Xia Lin wanted to give her was the system that Xia Lin had newly obtained from the 994th floor—the Meme Pollution System!
The examiner on the 994th floor was a demon, a former member of the Demon Emperor's demon clan, ranked first.

It was nicknamed: the source of the plague.

Its meme contamination system, with the six-pillar level skill: meme contamination as its core, is a system that is hidden and obscure, with strong destructive power, and is especially good at killing groups of people!

It also fits perfectly with Eileen's Dark Source Guardian profession.

After completing the skill swap, Scarlett used the Kuntian Mirror to stabilize Eileen's condition.

Xia Lin continued to attempt the challenge, but only deployed herself and Scarlett, keeping Eileen hidden.

Thus, the world only knew that Xia Lin possessed the ability to inscribe other people's skills, but no one knew just how heaven-defying this system was.

995th floor, 996th floor, 997th floor, 998th floor...

The examiners on the subsequent four levels were not those who had broken through limits, and therefore all possessed super skills and super systems.

Xia Lin took them all for himself.

As the light and shadow flickered, Xia Lin appeared on the 999th floor.

Looking up ahead, on the throne, Wang Yanlin, one of the six pillar sons, slowly rose and smiled at Xia Lin.

"I have long admired your name, and now that I have met you, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."

Xia Lin also returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Greetings, Fifth Prince."

The fifth son of the Wang family, the renowned Fifth Prince of the main universe... is now a level twelve big shot, ruling over a region of the universe with great prestige.

Looking up at Wang Yanlin, one could see from his eyebrows that he bore a resemblance to the King of Kings, but compared to his father, he appeared more majestic and sharper!
This is not surprising.

The King of Kings is somewhat like a retired tycoon, returning to simplicity and possessing a restrained aura.

Wang Yanlin, however, is at the age where he is striving hard.

The word "strive" had just entered Xia Lin's mind when he suddenly realized something.

He looked up at Wang Yanlin and saw that Wang Yanlin was also smiling at him, but a glint flashed in his eyes.

Soon, the Fifth Prince smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I am the son of the Six Pillars and a regional overlord. What else can I strive for?"

That leaves only the identity of the Six Pillars.

Xia Lin suddenly took a deep breath.

Thinking of the actions and judgments made by the former King of Kings on the original dark side of his consciousness, he suddenly had a premonition of something like this.

He has feelings for the King of Kings.

However, those close to the King of Kings may not necessarily share the same affection for him.

Wang Yanlin seemed to see through Xia Lin's thoughts, but he just smiled.

He didn't talk about his camp, nor about his attitude and feelings towards Xia Lin.

He simply extended his hand to Xia Lin and said slowly.

"The rest is unnecessary; you'll find out once you leave the Ashes District."

"Right now, you still have to get past the hurdle of being unintentional."

After finishing his sentence, he uttered the last one.

"I'm here to lend you a hand."
