This villain is too popular.

Chapter 285 Item Enhancement, Gambler's Doomsday!
Jeremiah's appearance was not unexpected for the Heavenly Dao.

He had sensed the other party's presence long before he boarded the ship.

At the same time, Heaven was also very clear about the other party's purpose in appearing.

Although Jeremiah was, in terms of faction, a standard enemy of them.

However, being on opposing sides does not necessarily mean being on opposing sides in terms of relationships.

Compared to the "Star Frost Faction," whose members are all 'iceberg-faced' and have no human touch whatsoever.

Jeremiah undoubtedly preferred his former 'partners'.

Therefore, after learning of the appearance of Tiandao and others, Jeremiah had long wanted to come and catch up with them.

As for the Starfrost School?
Tiandao stated that since the other party was able to form such a behemoth as one of the "Four Great Families of the New Federation" with the Xingyin faction, there must be no shortage of rational and visionary people within them.

Although they disagreed with the Star Sound Faction's ideology, they never intended to exterminate the Star Sound Faction or fight them to the point of mutual destruction.

This would only make the already weakened Frost Sound Clan easy prey for the other three major clans.

Therefore, despite the seemingly fierce battle between the Star Sound Faction and the Star Frost Faction during this period.

In reality, both the Star Sound faction and the Star Frost faction exercised great restraint towards each other.

Therefore, it is difficult to say that Jeremiah's appearance was not at the behest of the Starfrost faction, but rather at their behest, to ease tensions between the two sides.

But no matter which one it is, Heaven doesn't care.

Because things have come to this point, there's basically no suspense left.

After all, the theatrical versions without the Heavenly Dao all ended with Jing Liuli's successful breakthrough.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao has now joined in.

【Rooms on the Skyway Cruise Ship】

The waves outside the window lapped against the hull of the ship, making a regular 'splashing' sound.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Jeremiah, Tiandao bid farewell to everyone and returned to his room to rest alone.

He casually tossed his coat onto the sofa, and as soon as he sat down, he picked up the orange soda on the table and leisurely started looking at his popularity system.

[Current Movie Popularity Ranking]

【NO.1 Heavenly Dao Master of Fate】

【NO.2. Mirror Glass】

【NO.3 Caroline】

【NO.4 Dust Star】

【NO.5】

"As expected, the theatrical version is completely a fan-oriented work."

"As long as the characters don't have obvious character flaws or other problematic actions in the theatrical version, their popularity is generally linked to their popularity in the main series."

Looking at his movie's popularity ranking, Tiandao knew that all he needed to do next was to proceed step by step.

It's practically a done deal that they'll retain their position as the most popular theatrical release.

"Now that the theatrical version is halfway through, it's time to lay the groundwork for the climax to come."

With that said, Heavenly Dao turned its attention to the special functions of the Popularity System.

Previously, when he was on the steam train at sea, Tiandao had already completed the awakening of the Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye.

It has truly reached the 'Level 3' standard.

However, according to the Star Envoy ranking standards...

Only if the basic star energy value meets the standard, and the star source has not completed the second awakening of the Heavenly Dao, it is still only the standard of 'second-level star envoy'.

The Heavenly Dao isn't incapable of allowing vector control to undergo a second awakening; it's simply waiting for the right opportunity.

After all, the secondary awakening of vector control is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to maximize the benefits of this awakening.

It's important to know that in traditional shonen anime, every breakthrough a character makes is a classic plot climax.

The stage that Tiandao chose for himself to break through is the climax of this theatrical concert.

In a sense, it stole the spotlight.

However, considering the enemies that will appear in this theatrical version, Tendou felt it was necessary to show the audience his 'new abilities' in addition to his breakthrough.

After all, his purpose in using the exclusive character background modification permissions to obtain Heavenly Dao cells was not merely to gain a 'terrifying physical adaptability'. 'Immortal Mode' was what Heavenly Dao was pursuing.

"The traditional formula for shonen anime is that a character's breakthrough must be shown in the climax of the plot."

As Tiandao said this, the second half of the movie involuntarily came to mind, showing Liuli singing on stage, the villain suddenly causing trouble, and the scene where he broke through under the spotlight.

After all this, his popularity in the movie must have exploded!

After using it for a period of time, Tiandao has almost completely mastered its own Tiandao cells.

His adaptation to extreme cold within the fusion domain was merely a trial run, a way for him to test the effects of his Heavenly Dao cells.

With this in mind, Tiandao directly opened a special function panel in the Popularity System: Item Enhancement.
[System Function: Item Enhancement Furnace]

[Effect: Allows you to enhance one existing system item. The enhancement effect depends on the item's quality and the number of enhancement attempts.]

[Note: Special items are not included in the enhancement scope, and items may disappear if enhancement fails. Protection charms can be used to protect them.]

Looking at the item enhancement furnace on the panel, Tiandao smiled and said, "New skills need to have a sense of ceremony. Without a special item to 'switch' the skill, it just feels like something is missing."

"Moreover, it would be very deceptive to make the enemy think that I can only activate this ability under certain conditions."

As he spoke, Tiandao took out one of the items he had redeemed in the first season.

【Name: Binding Star Myriad Forms】

[Type: Cultivation Item]

【Effect 1 - Star Binding: After wearing, you can suppress your own star energy to gain higher cultivation efficiency (only effective for star energy values ​​below 1000)】

【Effect 2 - All-Encompassing Appearance: Allows you to freely customize the appearance of items (limited to everyday clothing)】

'Binding Stars and Myriad Forms' was one of the first items that Heavenly Dao exchanged.

At that time, he simply transformed it into an eye patch and greatly increased his cultivation speed.

This gives him the ability to absolutely change the ending at the end of the first season.

However, as the plot progresses and their strength increases, the effect of this prop on the Heavenly Dao becomes weaker and weaker, and it eventually has no effect whatsoever except for decoration.

But that doesn't mean this prop has no potential.

On the contrary, this is one of the few 'tools' that Heaven believes can have a significant effect on it.

After all, this prop can transform you and suppress star energy, making it a perfect switch for 'Sage Mode'.

Moreover, the classic concept of 'first form, second form,' and 'third form' has been a timeless concept in both anime series and other film and television works.

The feeling of giving it your all, only to defeat the basic form of the big boss, is undoubtedly more dramatic.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Dao directly placed the 'Binding Star Myriad Forms' into the strengthening furnace.

[Current Enhancement Item: Star Binding Myriad Forms]

Current Enhancement Level: +0

[Current required popularity points for enhancement: 100 million]

Current enhancement success rate: 25%

【Use a protection charm? Yes/No】

You have spent one million popularity points to exchange for a protection charm.

"A one-in-four chance of success? That's impossible, I can't believe it."

With absolute confidence, Tiandao decisively initiated the enhancement!

just
"No, this can fail?"

When Tiandao saw the large word 'failure' in the strengthening furnace, his face instantly darkened.

He was a powerful and successful figure in the world of stars.

It's been a long time since I've experienced the taste of 'failure'.

"Heh, that's interesting."

The corner of Tiandao's mouth twitched slightly, then he strengthened it again!
failure!

strengthen!

failure!
