Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 377 Gathering of Righteousness and Return of Hearts, Six Sacrifices

Half an hour later, another devil-like area manager from the Fallen God Temple arrived.

He immediately apologized to Chu Danqing and said that he would strengthen the training and management of the dragon whale after returning.

Then, the compensation offered by the other party was not 10,000, but 20,000.

All the skills given were also upgraded to the Brilliant level.

"This kid's in trouble; he might be investigated next," the broker said with a chuckle.

"An investigation?" Chu Danqing asked immediately, "Is it because of the issue of shifting the focus?"

“Yes, you wanted the Brilliant grade, and what you gave is commensurate with its value,” the broker explained. “So he’s trying to take advantage of the situation by offering the Superior grade.”

"Do you think he's acting in the best interests of the Fallen Temple or just trying to profit from it?"

"They probably make a profit off this." Chu Danqing wasn't entirely sure, but the broker wouldn't say such things for no reason.

“That’s right. If nothing else had happened, it would have been Dragon Whale who came to continue the transaction,” the broker said. “But now he hasn’t come; someone else has.”

"Perhaps he didn't handle this problem well."

"It's also possible that the previous dispute was reported. In any case, even if he doesn't die, he'll be badly hurt. The chances of him becoming a regional manager are probably gone."

"The next step is either to become a pure life apostle and engage in production activities, or to continue as a dimensional apostle until death."

"This is truly a rare occurrence. I've been a broker for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this," the broker said.

The broker had heard of similar things and seen a lot of related information, but this was the first time he had actually encountered it.

"By the way, I've also collected the two props you requested. Take a look at their effects, and if they're not suitable, I can replace them for you." The broker said, handing two sets of consumables to Chu Danqing.
-
Fragments of the Shadow Claw

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Brilliant]

[Effect 1: After use, the next trial will be locked to a specific trial world]

[Effect 2: Upon entering a specific trial world, you will have the opportunity to upgrade and inherit your identity based on your chosen identity.]

[Effect 3: After entering a specific trial world, the transformed identity will completely replace the target person, acquiring all their memories and relationships]
-
[Great Origin Tracing Scroll - Modified]

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Brilliant]

[Effect 1: When used on the target, it traces their origins and guides them to the trial world they were born in.]

[Effect 2: After tracing the source is complete, you can choose to lock the next trial world as this trial world]

[Effect 3: After entering the locked trial world, a second bloodline tracing can be performed]
-
"I have a question to ask about the origin of the Great Origin Tracing Scroll - Modified."

"If the target of the tracing is from two trial worlds, what should we do?" Chu Danqing asked cautiously.

The main body of Big White, that is, the snake soul, should come from a fantasy world.

However, the shrine that enshrines it is from a modern shamanic world, so the two are definitely not from the same place.

"What are the specifics?" The broker wasn't surprised, since there were many ways to contract permanent summons, so he needed to understand the situation before he could find out more information for Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing then briefly recounted the circumstances surrounding Da Bai's birth.

After listening, the broker fell silent.

"Xiang Liu and the Guardian Spirit." The broker was speechless, then said, "The Paradise is truly amazing."

He never imagined that these two things could actually come together.

This place truly lives up to its name as a paradise; every day I encounter a new abstract concept.

"I'll ask around for you." Seeing this, the broker had no choice but to help Chu Danqing investigate.

This can be considered after-sales service. After all, Chu Danqing's requirement is to trace the origin of the bloodline. If it goes astray and ends up in the trial world where the shrine is located, then it will not meet Chu Danqing's requirements.

Their transactions are notarized by default, so if any mistakes occur, the middleman has to compensate for them.

This is something that even if you sold him, you couldn't afford to lose money.

Anyone who can produce four brilliant sets of items representing race, bloodline, class, and skill right after completing the first-tier rank advancement assessment is definitely a top-tier apostle.

Before long, the broker had finished the investigation.

“It’s alright, the source tracing is based on the target itself,” the broker said. “The scroll’s judgment object is the main body, which is the snake soul.”

"The shrine is more about passing on the traditions of the guardian spirits, so there's no need to worry about it going astray and ending up in the modern world of shamanism."

“Of course, if anything goes wrong, you can ask me for compensation,” the broker said immediately.

He dared to say that this time because he was confident he wouldn't make a mistake.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." After saying that, Chu Danqing transferred two thousand Paradise Points to the other party.

The first time you contact this broker, the brokerage fee is usually paid after the transaction is completed.

If you need to contact the other party again later, you should settle the fees first.

Of course, if you don't have enough points at the amusement park, you can settle the bill later, and the broker won't say anything.

Well, I actually made 20,000 from this transaction.

I wish we could meet a few more times.

Chu Danqing left with the items, and took the opportunity to learn all eight skills.

Two of the skills in the set are already at MAX level upon learning, one active and one passive, and they are types that cannot be upgraded.
-
【Gathering of Heroes (Active) LV.MAX: Consumes 1% of mana per minute upon activation, causing all allied natives within a (Charm x1) meter radius to spontaneously gather. During this period, they gain temporary Lesser Summon status and receive varying degrees of spontaneous protection based on their affinity.】 (Note: Temporary Lesser Summon status only benefits from the 10% Summoning buff.)
-
【Return to the Heart (Passive) LV.MAX: After an allied native inhabitant gathers for a righteous cause, the favorability of all allied natives who participated in the gathering will slowly increase by (Charm x0 ~ Charm x10) points. Cooldown time per person per instance: 10 days】

(Note: The effect of increasing favorability depends on the apostle's initial impression on the native inhabitants, their behavior during the gathering, etc.)
-
The two skills complement each other because they are part of a set.

This skill belongs to the charm-based category of summoning. Although it cannot directly charm, it can subtly increase favorability.

The restrictions are quite significant, with the requirement that one's own side be the most difficult to trigger.

It only works if the inhabitants are at least from the same faction as you.

Secondly, the energy consumption is really high.

It consumes 1% of mana per minute, so it cannot be kept on continuously.

Finally, the passive skill "Return to the Heart" has a cooldown, so you can't keep refreshing it through "Gathering of Righteousness".

Otherwise, if Chu Danqing keeps turning the favorability rating on and off, as long as the increase isn't zero, the rate at which it can be farmed will be terrifying.

"Then there's the remaining six pieces."

Chu Danqing learned them all, and then used six mastery-level skill crystals to upgrade each one to level 10.

[Six Sacrifices - Blood (Passive) LV.10: When the health of a summoned creature on the field decreases, the user immediately recovers (10% of the reduced health) mana.]

[Six Sacrifices - Spirit (Passive) LV.10: When the mana of summoned creatures on the field decreases, the user immediately recovers health equal to (10% of the reduced mana) points.]

[Six Sacrifices - Soul (Passive) LV.10: For every 1% of health lost by summoned creatures on the field, the user recovers {(Max Health - Current Health) × 0.1%} mana per second]

[Six Sacrifices - Soul (Passive) LV.10: For every 1% of mana lost by summoned creatures on the field, the user recovers {(maximum mana - current mana) × 0.1%} health per second]

[Six Sacrifices - Body (Passive) LV.10: When the health of summoned creatures on the field is below 80%, the user's mana regeneration efficiency increases by 5% for every 1% decrease in health.]

[Six Sacrifices - Body (Passive) LV.10: When the mana of summoned creatures on the field is below 80%, the regeneration efficiency of the summoned creatures increases by 5% for every 1% decrease in their own health]

Initially, Chu Danqing wanted a skill that would restore her mana and health after her own health and mana decreased.

But he added a requirement that it be a summoner, which makes things a bit more difficult.

Most summoning skills are based on summoned creatures. Even those that affect the user usually require summoned creatures as a medium.

So what he wants is indeed difficult, but if it's just about recovery and enhancement, then there are plenty of other things to pursue.

In terms of strength, it is indeed inferior to non-summoning types, but it has one advantage.

That means all summoned creatures can trigger the effect.

Of course, in addition to this benefit, the risk factor is also greatly reduced.

After all, previously it needed to be on Chu Danqing to take effect, but now it only needs to be on the summoned creature.

"A divine skill of the Legion style," Chu Danqing muttered.

Chu Danqing's summoned creatures were relatively few, so the effect wasn't very strong.

However, if it were a Legion Apostle with a large number of summons, the buffs provided by these six skills would be quite terrifying.

"As expected of a Brilliant-level weapon, its skill effects are indeed powerful."

"I just don't know if the Great Flower's life force reserves and spiritual energy reserves can be triggered." Chu Danqing stroked his chin, pondering this matter.

As he was saying this, he tried it out, and unsurprisingly, it failed to trigger.

If it's the life points and spirit points of a large flower, then it can naturally be triggered, but it can't be triggered if it's in reserve.

However, there is some good news: the decrease in the life pool formed by his passive life attribute can trigger an effect.

It's a pity that the mana attribute passive didn't refresh the mana pool back then, otherwise it would have been a perfect match.

After I return from the next trial, I'll try to buy a mana pool-type skill or talent.

Even if the effect is weaker than that of passive attributes, it's acceptable.

Low-end configuration is fine, as long as it works.

"There are 8 Mastery-level Skill Crystals and 74,000 Paradise Points remaining."

Chu Danqing pondered how to use it.

"Let me see if there's anything I haven't dealt with yet," Chu Danqing said, glancing at himself.

Then a blind spot was discovered.

"Holy crap!!!" Chu Danqing suddenly realized that the Nine Cauldrons Diagram had not yet been upgraded in quality.

The Nine Cauldrons Diagram can now be upgraded to Brilliant quality, but he forgot about it.

Not only him, but Guo Ming also forgot.

If he remembered this, he would have given me the materials long ago.

"They're so inconspicuous, I almost forgot about them."

"Then, let's make contact with the War Lions."

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes. The Goddess of Cats was already an ally, but Her superior war lion pride was not.

If he can successfully recruit them, he will have two Tier 4 combatants at his disposal.

That way, the next career awakening mission will be more secure.
