My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 412 Six-Pillar Level Spirit World Book!

The answer is, of course, yes.

With fair trade combined with the Heavenly Dao Equation, we will surely be able to dismantle the level 12 core skills and the level 6 pillar skills!

Judging from this series of processes, the Heavenly Equation skill can be described as omnipotent.

"No wonder it's a skill that the Six Pillars consider their core skill..."

Muttering to himself, Fair Trade had already taken away the chips—six six-pillar-level skills—and completed the dismantling process.

[The deal is concluded. 】

On the skill panel, the level 12 core skill, Pale Funeral, went from real to illusory and slowly disappeared.

However, a sliver of crystal light seeped out from the scales behind Xia Lin and finally landed in front of Xia Lin.

"Is this the divinely granted power of transcendence...?"

Xia Lin muttered to himself, then reached out and pinched the object, examining it closely.

This is a wisp of pure energy, its shape is irregular, and it twists and turns like a living thing, its whole body shimmering with tiny lights.

Despite his fully awakened talent, Xia Lin still couldn't see through the true nature of this object...

"That makes sense, after all, this is energy at the sixth pillar level."

The God-given Stone is equivalent to six pillars, and the God-given transcendent power derived from the God-given Stone is also equivalent to the power of six pillars.

Xia Lin's level of understanding is so low that he can't even see through the essence of the power of the Six Pillars, so naturally he can't see through the essence of the power of transcendence bestowed by heaven.

After admiring it for a while, Xia Lin carefully put it into his personal space, placing it together with the five strands and six pillars of power he had stored.

Then, he looked closely at his own skill panel.

The Pale Funeral skill had disappeared from the skill slot, but Xia Lin found it again in the cookbook.

The result was as expected.

【Pale Funeral (Racial Heritage Level): Active Skill. (Details omitted...)】

The label of level 12 core skill is gone, and even the label of weakened is gone.

The skill effect has deteriorated further on top of its already deteriorated state... becoming a purely meaningless, ordinary foundational skill.

"As expected..."

This was not unexpected for Xia Lin.

It's just a matter of shifting our gaze to the unintentional parasitism of flesh and blood.

[Deal Completed!]

A wisp of the power of the six pillars seeped out from the balance scale and fell into Xia Lin's hand, where he stored it in his personal space.

Xia Lin looked at the recipe book again and found the Flesh Parasite skill.

It was discovered that the skill's level had dropped from the Six Pillars level to the Racial Foundation level, and the skill effect had also changed, becoming much weaker.

"There are no bugs."

Xia Lin sighed slightly, but he understood the underlying principle.

……

The power of the six pillars is a catalyst for six-pillar level skills and items—Xia Lin calls this the catalyst theory.

Originally, fair trade could not separate six-pillar level skills and items. The reason it is possible now is mainly because Xia Lin added some ingredients to fair trade.

The key ingredient is tracing the origins of this skill derived from the Heavenly Dao Equation.

This skill, combined with Fair Trade, allows Fair Trade to dismantle the Six Pillars Power/Heavenly Transcendence Power that should have disappeared, through a reverse restoration logic.

After reversing the process, it's perfectly reasonable and natural for the skill level to drop.

Essentially, this is a process of turning finished products back into raw materials.

The recipe book for the six-pillar level Evil Shadow, which Xia Lin had high hopes for, was not a replica of the finished product; only the raw materials at the foundation level were replicated.

"pity."

Xia Lin only felt regret, not disappointment.

Even so, his gains were still considerable.

Xia Lin had previously accumulated a lot of six-pillar level skills, some of which were useful and were the core of the super system, but some six-pillar level skills were meaningless. Xia Lin would never be able to use them after acquiring them and they could only be left to rot in the recipe book.

Now is the perfect time to make use of these waste materials and break them down into six pillars of power.

The light flashed continuously, and in just a moment, the power of the six pillars in Xia Lin's hand reached as many as 53 strands.

After putting it away, Xia Lin sighed softly to Scarlett.

"The Infinite Six Pillars Power Plan has failed..."

Scarlett covered her mouth and chuckled: "If it really works, then you'll become a Six Pillars, won't you?"

Xia Lin thought about it and smiled.

That makes sense.

Only the six pillars can possess the power of the infinite six pillars.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin suddenly shuddered.

"It won't work...it won't work."

If this actually happens, who knows what kind of big trouble it might cause.

As Xia Lin led Scarlett away from the outer realm, he continued.

"And now, I should also consider such a thing."

"It's about whether or not I should find a decent sugar daddy."

Xia Lin is about to leave the beginner village.

I have also gained a deeper understanding of the pattern of six pillars competing for power.

So, naturally, he thought of the prompt given by the Ash Zone system when he changed jobs.

Life without a strong carry is never easy, whether you're inside or outside the Ember Zone.

Xia Lin is no longer the impetuous young transmigrator she once was.

The higher he stood, the more he understood the value of those words!
"The power of the Six Pillars is rare for those below, but not for the Six Pillars... A wisp of the power of the Six Pillars is roughly equivalent to a point of spiritual power for me."

"If my guess is true, when I advance to level twelve, the power of the Six Pillars can enhance the advancement effect... then whether I should find a Six Pillar to rely on is worth discussing."

Xia Lin is not the kind of person who would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.

He has flexible bottom lines—whether they are moral bottom lines or other bottom lines.

How flexible it is depends on how great the potential benefits are.

The most direct and obvious benefit is to acquire more power from the six pillars.

"Even if the price is to be their dog?"

Scarlett asked in return, and Xia Lin chuckled, thinking of a series of movies and TV shows he had watched in his previous life.

What's wrong with being a dog?
If Xia Lin could gain the full support of the Six Pillars, he might be willing to offer his loyalty.

"But unfortunately, among the six pillars, apart from the King of Kings, none of the others are worthy of loyalty."

When choosing a leader, you not only need to consider whether the leader is generous, but also whether the leader is a jerk or a liar.

The latter is far more important than the former!
But even the King of Kings isn't a perfect leader—He can only guarantee not to cheat you, but He's not exactly generous.

There's no other reason than that he has too many subordinates and relatives—Old Wang is the one with the most offspring and the greatest power among the six pillars.

For nearly ten thousand years, the King of Kings has paid no attention to the new military leaders in the Ashes... one of the reasons is this.

He has too many people under his command who need to be trained; the system is almost saturated.

In theory, He doesn't even need the loyalty of outsiders, because there are too many people who are born with absolute loyalty to Him.

From this perspective, Lao Wang is not actually worthy of Xia Lin's loyalty—because Xia Lin has great ambitions and naturally needs a large share of the power of the Six Pillars.

After much thought, Xia Lin realized that even finding his boss was becoming difficult.

He could only sigh deeply and look up at the even more scattered evil gods.

"Never mind, I'll stop thinking about this for now."

"Let's focus on getting the immediate benefits first."

……

If the reason for splitting the six pillar-level skill items is for future potential.

So feeding the Spirit World Book with evil gods is for immediate combat power.

Xia Lin's own internal combat strength has reached its limit, but the Spirit World Book still has great potential to be tapped - so the cost-effectiveness of cultivating the Spirit World Book has suddenly increased.

Moreover, being in the Dark Realm at this moment, with the Heavenly Dao Equation still usable, is precisely when Xia Lin has the most and strongest methods at his disposal.

There's no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

As for hunting down evil gods to gain ranking battle points and lock in the first position in the sequence, that's just a side effect.

In the second layer of the Dark Realm, in the bottomless abyss, the deeper one falls, the more fragments of the primordial dark side's subconscious become, and the more food the evil gods find.

Therefore, they no longer need to feed together, but instead hunt separately—this phenomenon becomes more and more obvious the deeper they go.

As Xia Lin spent some time dismantling skills and items, the evil gods were now dispersed to a point where Xia Lin could barely make use of them.

Risks still exist.

Evil gods are special after all, and their power system is different from that of professional players. Their energy intensity is also much higher than that of professional players of the same level.

—Xia Lin could kill the Pale King Nikolai, but he really wasn't confident he could kill a level 12 evil god.

But there's no need to wait any longer.

As Xia Lin's gaze fell upon a certain level eleven evil god who was far from the group, the light within his body began to burst forth.

Using the Heavenly Dao Equation, 12 different hidden abilities were constructed. As the abilities took effect, Xia Lin's entire aura vanished, making him appear as if he didn't exist in the eyes of the Evil God—even though he currently possessed a total of 48068 Soul Lights within him.

Move forward, get closer.

Soon, Xia Lin arrived in front of the colossal object that resembled a virus but was the size of a planet, and then took out the Spirit World Book.

The unknown evil god trembled slightly, as if sensing the aura of a kind... but the aura was too ethereal and vague, and the evil god's mind could not discern this faint anomaly.

It was just an instinctive tremor, then nothing happened, and I continued to advance toward the nearest fragment of my subconscious.

This scene completely relaxed Xia Lin.

With the Heavenly Equation and the Book of the Spirit Realm in hand.

He couldn't touch a level 12 evil god, but he could easily handle a level 11 evil god.

Even at this moment, Xia Lin still had the leisure to ponder this question:
After the primordial ruler was born, what changes will these evil gods undergo?

"There will be no change for the time being... because the Primal Ruler probably hasn't been able to fully control the power of the Primal Dark Side yet, and the evil gods still revere the unconscious power of the Primal Dark Side... until the Primal Ruler regains control of the power of the Primal Dark Side."

In other words, for a short period of time, the evil god remains the same evil god, and its nature will not change.

But once the Primal Overlord has fully mastered the power of the Primal Dark Side, these monsters will likely undergo a radical transformation.

Xia Lin was unaware whether the evil god's transformation was good or bad for him.

But they realized that now was probably the best opportunity to feed the Spirit World Book.

"Then let's have a big meal!"

With this thought in mind, Xia Lin transformed into light and instantly entered the body of the evil god.

……

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

"I think I'm sick... I feel very unwell..."

"High temperature, fever... I feel like I'm about to catch fire."

"Pustules, I have pustules... What? You have an immoral private life? No, no, no, I am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!"

It was as if he were in sewage, filled with a suffocating and stagnant feeling. All sorts of noises entered Xia Lin's ears, making his brain swell and his head spin.

Even for a level 11 powerhouse, rushing into the body of an evil god is an extremely dangerous thing.

Fortunately, Xia Lin is ultimately much stronger than a normal level 11.

Xia Lin regained her senses after only a short period of discomfort.

The surroundings were dark and dark, making it impossible to see anything, but Xia Lin could sense that the place was full of filth!
Evil gods are, by nature, aggregates of filth. Just like the primordial dark side, they are essentially dumping grounds for all the negative energy of the old and new universes.

Various kinds of foul forces, but essentially the same, scorched Xia Lin's skin, but could not harm a single hair on Xia Lin's body, let alone penetrate Xia Lin's skin and go deep into Xia Lin's body.

Yes, in terms of pure strength, the evil god is stronger than other professionals of the same level!
But that's in comparison to ordinary people of the same level... In any case, Xia Lin, who stands at the pinnacle of his level, should be an exception.

After a short period of adjustment, the environment here not only failed to cause Xia Lin any further harm, but Xia Lin also discovered the true name of this evil god.

Level 11 evil god, plague.

"He's a famous god."

The Plague God is quite well-known in the main universe.

Its worshippers regarded it as a god and created a small sect called the Sick Cult.

Furthermore, its strongest follower is a level eleven individual, a divine-type professional who has already established a divine kingdom with the power of the Plague God!

Its size isn't as large as the Propagation God Kingdom, but it shouldn't be underestimated.

This also means that the Plague God is considered to be among the top-tier of the eleventh-level evil gods.

But today, it has met its natural enemy.

Xia Lin's hand gently stroked the cover of the Spirit Realm Book, and the Spirit Realm Book responded spontaneously, immediately emitting light.

The light was filled with immense attraction, drawing the power of the plague god and swarming towards the Spirit Book!

This is different from the deceitful evil gods of the past!

After all, one is inside the body, and the other is outside the body!
The power of the Spirit Book also increased after it absorbed the power of the Deceitful God and part of the Primal Hunger.

This caused the Spirit World Book to devour the power of the evil god at a much faster speed than before!
From the outside, it was clear that the Plague God immediately stopped moving.

After only a few seconds of stiffness, the Plague God's body began to shrink—like a balloon that was constantly leaking air.

The leak lasted for nearly five minutes.

In just five minutes, the Plague God's size increased from the size of a planet to about the size of a person.

Then, with a "bang," it exploded on the spot, turning to ash and dissipating, revealing Xia Lin's figure holding the Book of the Spirit Realm inside.

At this moment, the Spirit World Book emitted a mixed light, carrying an ominous aura.

But as the light gradually dimmed, the ominous aura also dissipated.

Xia Lin opened the Book of Spirits, turned to the first page: Deception, the second page: Hunger, and looked at the third page, which had already been condensed: Plague.

[Spirit Realm Book (Racial Foundation Level) (Uniqueness) (Xia Lin Exclusive)]

【Function Two: The Spirit Realm】

[Current Buff 1: Deception: Omitted...]

[Current Buff 2: Hunger (Incomplete): Omitted...]

[Current Buff 3: Plague: The Spirit Book has absorbed an evil god named Plague and gained the power of plague!]

[Due to unforeseen circumstances, you are unable to fully grasp the power of the Plague. The Spirit Book can only provide you with two methods for using this power.]

The so-called force majeure has been mentioned before; it is simply that only by being closer to the original dark side can the evil god gain more control over the power of the evil god.

Due to its inherent nature, the Book of Spirits is destined to be unable to fully unleash the power of the evil gods, only able to obtain a portion of their power—but you can't stop it, the Book of Spirits can collect portions of the power of all the evil gods in a way similar to collecting cards…

[Part 1: Plague Origin: Absorbs and cures all diseases (including those caused by skills). Depending on the type and quantity of pathogens, different amounts of plague power are gained.]

[II: Plague Walker: Consumes a certain amount of Plague Power to release a plague! The type and intensity of the plague pathogen vary depending on the amount of Plague Power consumed!]

[Current Plague Power: 13 years!]

The figure of 13 billion is not surprising—after all, this is the entirety of the Plague God.

And the two abilities are quite effective—healing and poisoning, making him both a doctor and a poison master, handling both tasks perfectly.

Of course, for Xia Lin now, the use of the Plague II ability is destined to be limited—the Plague Return to Origin is somewhat useful, but the Plague Walker is useless. Xia Lin doesn't need to go through so much trouble to kill people, and the Plague probably can't kill people he can't kill either.

Xia Lin's focus was still on the growth potential of the Spirit World Book itself.

Gently stroking the cover of the Spirit World Book, Xia Lin muttered, "It's still far from good enough..."

However, he still did something he had tried before—he took out a wisp of the power of the Six Pillars and pressed it onto the Spirit World Book.

Then the fusion failed...

The power of the Six Pillars is insufficient to upgrade the Spirit World Book to the Six Pillar level.

The reason is actually quite simple—because the Spirit Book itself possesses the power of the Six Pillars!

Don't forget what its raw materials are, and don't forget who made it.

In essence, it is a level six item!

The reason why he is only at the racial foundation level now is something Xia Lin didn't understand before, but he has long since figured it out now.

This is the King of Kings' little secret...

He also pointed to Xia Lin using the Spirit World Book to hunt down evil gods. The Spirit World Book's level doesn't match reality; it's essentially a seal, and also a means to urge Xia Lin to work harder.

"Then continue."

Turn around and look for the next target.

……

A fine sword is for a hero, and a good horse is for a good saddle.

This aptly describes the relationship between Xia Lin and the Spirit World Book.

Xia Lin's strength was already equivalent to the peak of level eleven, only lacking the weighting of level three skill assessments.

The Book of Spirits, on the other hand, exempts Xia Lin from the extra weight of judgment imposed by evil gods when facing them.

With both factors combined, and Xia Lin only hunting level eleven evil gods, everything that followed went smoothly, even becoming somewhat formulaic and procedural.

One after another, eleventh-level evil gods of different shapes, natures, and life forms fell to Xia Lin's hands.

The Spirit World Book has more and more additional features, but these are not what Xia Lin wants.

He only wanted the Spirit World Book to break the seal and be upgraded to the sixth pillar level!

Xia Lin firmly believes that this will bring about a qualitative change to the Book of Spirits!

The entire ten-plus days were spent hunting.

The evil god group has approached the lower part of the second layer of the Dark Realm: the bottomless abyss. The space for outsiders to move around has been greatly compressed. Even in the depths of the bottomless abyss, abnormal phenomena have appeared, as if the existence known as the Primal Dark Side has been alarmed.

But Xia Lin was not worried about the reaction of the original dark side.

At present, He is destined not to pay too much attention to these trivial matters happening here, and to the little people like Xia Lin—He has much bigger trouble with them.

Today, Xia Lin emerged from the body of the Destroyer God, stood still, looked down at the Book of Spirits, and revealed a genuine smile.

After 13 days and 298 evil gods hunted, the Spirit World Book has finally completed its transformation!
A deep light rippled slightly from the Spirit World Book.

The aura of malice was deliberately restrained and hidden very deeply, yet it was undeniably real.

Holding the Book of the Spirit Realm, Xia Lin opened the title page, and the thick contents came into view.

Including fraud and hunger, the Spirit World Book now has a full 300 pages!

Each page represents an evil god, which in turn means 1-3 different abilities.

However, there is no need to go into detail about the names and additional capabilities of each page.

Because at this very moment, the 300 pages of the Spirit World Book have become interconnected, bound together by a higher power, and slowly merging into one.

Meanwhile, the item descriptions are also rapidly distorting and rearranging.

Soon, Xia Lin saw the new item description.

……

[Spirit Realm Book: (Six Pillar Level) (Uniqueness) (Xia Lin Exclusive):]

[Function 1: Malicious Contamination: When facing an evil god, you are immune to all the evil god's additional skill bonuses! Greatly enhances your resistance to malicious forces when facing the primordial dark side!]

Functionality 1 has become even more powerful!
In addition to being exempt from the suppression of evil god levels, it also has special defense against the primordial dark side...

It can certainly defend against the primordial dark side, but whether it can defend against the primordial ruler is unknown.

Clearly, even the King of Kings couldn't have imagined that a Primal Ruler would appear in the main universe.

Function 2 has also undergone a major change!
【Function Two: The Dark Side of the Past: This item has absorbed enough essence power of evil gods! Different evil god powers have different rules, and the superposition of different rules has reproduced a strange power involving one of the six pillars: the primordial dark side!】

Current completion status of the Dark Side: 18%!

The first stage of the Dark Side ability has been activated: The Past Reappears!
The Past Reappears: The current Dark Side of the Past contains the power of 300 evil gods, granting you 492 different abilities.

"Is the past repeating itself...?"

Xia Lin muttered those four words, then quickly smiled.

He thought of Junyou's past reappearing.

The current reappearance of the past in the Spirit World Book is similar in principle to Junyou's reappearance of the past, except that Xia Lin hunted down more evil gods and gained more abilities.

Among them, there are quite a few useful abilities such as fraud and luck, but there are many more useless abilities.

In short, the combination of Xia Lin and the Spirit World Book greatly enhanced Xia Lin's immediate combat power.

With this alone, Xia Lin has achieved his predetermined goal!

But there's more to come.

When the completion rate of the Dark Side reaches 30%, you will activate the second stage ability of the Dark Side: The Descent of the Ancients!

[Note: You can enhance the completion of the Ancient Dark Side by extracting the power of evil gods, or even the power of the Primal Dark Side!]

The words "the old days have come" were like bait, tantalizing Xia Lin's appetite.

The King of Kings continued to bait Xia Lin, enticing her to do things in this way—and Xia Lin was quite willing to comply.

But at this moment, Xia Lin's attention was not on the name of the unknown ability "The Descent of the Old Days". He looked at the last line of notes, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He took out the cosmic bug from his personal space.

When the two came close together, light burst forth.

Amidst the flashing bright light, Xia Lin saw what appeared to be a trace of chaotic and ominous energy seeping out from the cosmic bug and falling into the Spirit World Book.

The moment this energy merged into the Book of Spirits, the Book of Spirits trembled, as if it had consumed an unknown substance with energy far stronger than that of the evil god.

After a brief tremor, the Spirit World Book slowly returned to calm.

Xia Lin looked at the words "[Current completion rate of the Dark Side of the Past: 18%]" and saw with his own eyes that this 18% had become 18.01%!

The improvement seemed minor, but Xia Lin suddenly realized something.

This not only means that the cosmic bug in Xia Lin's hands is no longer a threat, but also signifies the essence of the Spirit World Book's advancement.

The Spirit World Book, having advanced to the Six Pillars level, has undergone a magnificent transformation! It has become an energy absorber capable of even targeting the Primordial Dark Side!

"This King of Kings is planning to cultivate me and the Book of Spirits into mortal enemies of the primordial dark side!"

Judging from the changes in the attributes of the Spirit World Books, this is roughly the case—Spirit World Books of the Foundation level devour evil gods, while those of the Six Pillar level begin to devour the primordial dark side…

Cunning and shrewd, truly cunning and shrewd.

Of course, as long as the benefits are great enough, there's nothing Xia Lin wouldn't dare to do or touch.

However, it seems that the King of Kings' plan will fail right now. The Primal Ruler and the Primal Dark Side are related, but they are not the same thing in essence. You can't use the same methods to deal with the Primal Dark Side to deal with the Primal Ruler, otherwise, wouldn't His evolution have been in vain?
Xia Lin also stopped pondering the six pillars.

He just muttered to himself.

"Looking at it this way, setting aside the abilities of the old Dark Side, the biggest gain from the evolution of the Spirit World Book is actually the ability to extract the power of the Primordial Dark Side, as mentioned in the notes..."

In just a moment, Xia Lin thought of countless ways to try.

For example, could we use this to acquire the power of the Six Pillars in bulk?

It's obviously not possible now... but that doesn't mean we can't try to move in that direction.

"And what's right in front of us right now..."

Thinking of this, Xia Lin lowered his gaze to the very bottom of the endless abyss.

The original dark side?

No, no, no... This is absolutely untouchable. Even Xia Lin, the level 12 evil god, didn't want to touch it, let alone the original form of the dark side.

The reason he can hunt eleventh-level evil gods at will is because his strength is comparable to that level of opponent.

If Xia Lin were to face the true form of the Primordial Dark Side directly, even with the Book of the Spirit Realm in hand, a single yawn from the Primordial Dark Side might be enough to pulverize Xia Lin and the Book of the Spirit Realm into dust.

What he was looking for was not the original form of the dark side, but the three kings of the Black Domain, whose whereabouts were unknown but who must still be in the bottomless abyss.
