Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 488 If one could be the "only one," who would willingly be just "one of many"?

The Tian Shu Bureau of Shanghai.

"Ye Xuan granted the Tian Shu Bureau the title of 'Evolution Trustee'?"

"Although it's a replica, it still has the upper limit of eighth-tier strength?"

"Is the General Administration going to establish a 'suitable candidate' system and conduct large-scale selection?"

"If someone demonstrates significantly superior ability and compatibility compared to others, they can obtain priority or even long-term holding rights? Essentially, they are the sole suitable candidate?"

Lu Jing looked at the document on his phone, which had been directly issued by the General Administration but whose contents had already been circulated within a certain internal circle, and was still somewhat bewildered.

He only practiced for a few hours, not months, right?
How come even "evolution trusters" have suddenly appeared?
Although it was handcrafted by Ye Xuan, with its eighth-level strength ceiling, what's the difference between it and the real thing?
The strength of an eighth-tier cultivator is already terrifying enough; not everyone is a lone wolf.

And Ye Xuan can even conjure up eighth-tier items by hand?

Isn't his normal strength only at the eighth level? Could it be that his strength has improved again?
Is this guy a monster?
However, he didn't only realize now that he was a monster.

Lu Jingshen took a breath, calmed himself down, and began to look at the specific "fittest" system.

Because the "Evolution Trustee" created by Ye Xuan has no usage restrictions and does not have a fixed "suitable person", anyone can transform into Nexus and possess the power of the Giant of Light by using the "Evolution Trustee".

The meaning in the document is very clear.

This system is not purely egalitarian; it is highly competitive.

Although there are many "fitters" to choose from, anyone who meets certain standards can become a "fitter". In the future, if a problem cannot be solved, one can apply to use an "evolution trustee".
However, if a "suitable person" is strong enough, strong enough that their compatibility with the "evolutionary trustee" far surpasses everyone else's, strong enough to unleash the power of "Nexus" to the fullest extent.
Then he would have the opportunity to become that special being, to truly grasp the power of this "light" in his hands, rather than merely being a "member" used in rotation!
At that moment, an indescribable surge of heat instantly coursed through his entire body.

The blood that had been slightly calmed down after breaking through to the fourth rank not long ago seemed to boil again, surging with fighting spirit and intense desire like a volcanic eruption!
If one can be the "only one," who would be willing to be just "one of many"?
Putting aside the allure of "Ultraman," the upper limit of eighth-tier strength is equally enticing.

Faced with such an opportunity, no one could remain indifferent.

He could almost imagine the reactions of Gu Che, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, and others when they saw this message. They would definitely fight for the "only one" qualification without hesitation, just like him.

Thinking of this, Lu Jing's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.

"I won't lose."

"Whether it's Gu Che, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, or anyone else..."

"I'm determined to have this 'only' qualification!"

Confidence, or arrogance?
No, it's just a matter of trusting one's own will and strength.

Admittedly, his life trajectory can be described as fortunate.

At the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, he was fortunate enough to obtain the nature-type Burning Fruit, becoming one of the earliest holders of the "Treasures of the Heavens" in the Great Xia Dynasty. He was discovered and nurtured by the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu Bureau, enjoying the best resources.

Later, he was recruited by the Shanghai Tian Shu Bureau as a core member, and various rare resources followed one after another; they even used an extremely valuable opportunity to help him obtain the [Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame] from the Doupo world.

He also successfully refined it, completing the transformation of his body.

His strength skyrocketed, and his talent and potential also improved accordingly. He eventually surpassed Gu Che, Lin Ruoxi, and others to become the third person in Great Xia to reach the fourth rank, and a true fourth-rank powerhouse.

Along the way, opportunities and resources have come to him like a torrent, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a person favored by luck.

Although there are still some people whose luck far surpasses his, they are only a tiny minority. Ninety-nine percent of the world's population is not as fortunate as him.

However, this does not mean that everything he has today is simply due to luck!
Beneath the spotlight lies unimaginable hardship and danger.

Logia-type Devil Fruits grant the ability to transform into elements and control fire, but they do not directly bestow upon the user a strong physique or an unyielding will.

Every step of physical training and every instance of mastering strength requires one's own daily, almost self-torturing, arduous practice and tempering.

The process of refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is even more painful.

Even though the Flame-Flame Fruit's constitution prevented him from being instantly incinerated by the strange fire, the pain of forcibly integrating a violent, strange fire into his body came not only from his body but also from his soul.

His consciousness was on the verge of collapse countless times in the boundless sea of ​​fire, as if every cell was being crushed and reassembled, and every wisp of his soul was being scorched by the flames.

That's torture enough to drive an ordinary person mad.

He didn't know what Xiao Yan went through when he devoured the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, but he was absolutely certain that the pain he endured was no less than Xiao Yan's!

The reason they were able to get through it, besides their desire for power, was their fundamental will to "live on".

He had witnessed the strength of those at higher levels and knew that weakness was the original sin. Therefore, he longed to become stronger and to control his own destiny. This longing was so intense that it temporarily overwhelmed the pain in his body.

No matter how painful it was, no matter how blurred his consciousness became, one unwavering thought always guided him—to live! If he died, then everything would be in vain.

It was this survival instinct and belief in becoming stronger that were ingrained in his bones that made him grit his teeth and, with an almost tyrannical attitude, guide the raging flames to fuse and tame them according to his will during the process of fusing with the strange fire.

His journey has been far more difficult than others imagine.

Therefore, he believed that he was no less capable than anyone else!

Moreover, since ancient times, the most primitive, most dazzling, and most capable of dispelling darkness "light" has always been "flame."

Therefore, he will not lose, and there is no reason for him to lose.

Jinling Tian Shu Bureau.

"What exactly did the Beijing General Bureau trade with Ye Xuan?"

"While whatever it may be, its value can't compare to that of the 'Evolution Truster,' I'm genuinely curious now."

"What could be the 'treasure of the heavens' that could pique Ye Xuan's interest and be considered by him to be of equal value to the [Dragon Slayer Crystal]?"

Lin Ruoxi raised her head and looked at the refined-looking middle-aged man behind the desk, who was also the director of the Jinling Tian Shu Bureau. She asked curiously.

"Chief, is there really no way to find out?"

Upon hearing Lin Ruoxi's words, the director of the Jinling Tian Shu Bureau smiled helplessly and shook his head.
“If it were before, it would have been fine, but not now.”

"You know how much importance the higher-ups attach to Ye Xuan. Any details of transactions related to him, especially information about the items he received, will not be disclosed to the public by the General Administration unless he uses it publicly later."

"Although I have this permission, I cannot use it for this purpose."

"Moreover, you should pay more attention to the [Dragon Slayer Crystal] and the 'Evolution Trustee' than this."

"Especially the [Dragon Slayer Crystal]."

"There are too many people competing for the 'Evolution Trustee' title, all wanting to be the only 'fittest,' so our chances of winning it are slim; but the [Dragon Slayer Crystal] is different."

"If that [Dragon Slayer Crystal] is of the lightning attribute, I'm confident I can get it for you."

Lin Ruoxi possesses the [Lightning-attribute God's Eye] and is also a [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] user, both of which give her extremely high talent and extraordinary potential in controlling lightning.

The Eye of God granted her the ability to precisely control the lightning element, making it as easy as her own arm; while the Rumble-Rumble Fruit allowed her to transform into lightning, gaining extreme speed, powerful lightning generation and release capabilities, and elemental means of survival.

However, whether it is the "Eye of God" or the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit", the focus of their power is more on the control of "lightning".

They allow her to unleash lightning strikes powerful enough to destroy everything, but they cannot fundamentally enhance her human body significantly.

Her physical strength, endurance, and recovery ability, although they will increase with her strength, still essentially rely on her own training and the nourishment of spiritual energy on her body, and have not undergone a qualitative transformation.

This, to some extent, limited her abilities.

But the [Dragon Slayer Crystal] is different! One of its functions is to modify and strengthen the user's physique in the direction of a "dragon"!

If she can fuse with a lightning-attribute [Dragon Slayer Crystal], her body will gain growth potential comparable to that of a dragon!
Strength, speed, defense, and recovery ability will all be qualitatively improved as the individual grows.

This will perfectly compensate for her current relatively "fragile" physical condition, allowing her to withstand higher-intensity combat.

Furthermore, after fusing with the [Dragon Slayer Crystal], she can consume elements of specific attributes to quickly restore her abilities and stamina, enhance her strength, and improve her talents in the corresponding attributes.

However, all of this is based on the premise that the [Dragon Slayer Crystal] is of the "lightning attribute". If it is a [Dragon Slayer Crystal] of other elements, then it will not work.

Not to mention that his path is incompatible with Lin Ruoxi's, even if he wanted to help Lin Ruoxi, he couldn't succeed.

"Even a lightning-attribute [Dragon Slayer Crystal] might not be enough to secure one, right?"

Lin Ruoxi shrugged, not really caring about it.

"The overlap in abilities between the [Lightning God's Eye] and the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] that I possess is actually quite high."

"Although for me, if I could fuse with the lightning-attribute [Dragon Slayer Crystal], it would indeed complement me and push me to a higher level, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts."

"But it's hard to say how effective it will actually be."

"Moreover, even if a newcomer is given the [Dragon Slayer Crystal], their growth potential and future achievements will not be low."
