This villain is too popular.

Chapter 286 Mysterious and Pay-to-Win, Changing Fate and Destiny!
[Enhancement successful! Star Binding Myriad Forms enhanced to +1!]

[New effect: When worn, it can slightly improve the precision of star energy control, compress one's own star energy and aura, and slightly increase cultivation speed]

Crunch!

The empty orange soda can was squeezed so hard by Tiandao that it made a piercing deforming sound. He stared at the bright red 'failure' on the system panel, and the veins on his forehead under his silver hair throbbed.

Six times already, a full six times!
Despite having a 25% success rate, he failed five times in a row before finally succeeding in strengthening the weapon.

This forced Tiandao to accept the fact that he was actually an 'unlucky person'.

Luck certainly wasn't on his side!

However, simply enhancing the Star Binding Myriad Forms by '+1' is insufficient to meet the needs of the Heavenly Dao.

Upon realizing this, Heaven immediately made a decision.

"No, we need to resort to some metaphysics and find someone to borrow some of our luck."

Tiandao suddenly stood up and went to the passenger ship room next to his, where Caroline and Jing Liuli were.

Because the two hadn't closed the door, Tiandao had only just arrived in the corridor when he heard Jing Liuli's chattering laughter coming from inside, as if she were showing off something to Caroline.

Tiandao pushed open the door and went in. He saw Liuli lying on the table, sticking colorful stickers on the face of the doll in front of her.

Caroline sat next to her, holding a research book filled with various complex formulas, reading intently.

"The Heavenly Dao? What brings you here?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dao, Jing Liuli curiously raised her head.

The Heavenly Dao remained silent, simply walking up to Liuli without uttering a word.

And with a puzzled look on her face, he reached out and began to vigorously stroke her light purple hair!
"Hey! Tiandao, what are you doing! I just combed my hair!"

Jing Liuli instantly bristled and raised her hand to slap his hand away.

"Don't move, don't move, I need to borrow some luck from you."

As Tiandao spoke, he ruffled her hair even more, making her look like a little purple hedgehog with its hair standing on end.

Caroline looked at the chaotic scene and helplessly put down her book, even though the Heavenly Dao often did some strange things.

But this was the first time she had ever seen something so strange.

After all, can you borrow luck?

Feeling he had already drawn enough luck, Tiandao reached out and pinched Jing Liuli's soft cheek before turning away in satisfaction.

"Thanks!"

"Thank you my ass!"

Enraged, Jing Liuli grabbed a dolphin doll and threw it at Tiandao, but Tiandao easily dodged it and 'whooshed' back to his room, not even closing the door properly.

Watching Tiandao's departing figure, Jing Liuli threw herself into Caroline's arms and said indignantly, "Sister Caroline, look at him! He's deliberately bullying me!"

Facing the sulking Jing Liuli, Caroline smiled and gently smoothed her disheveled hair, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"Alright, Tiandao probably has some special purpose, he's not really playing you. I'll say a few words to him for you later, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Liuli quickly cheered up.

Ultimately, she wasn't actually that angry.

Besides, she was already used to being bullied by the Heavenly Dao.

In the room on the other side.

"Now that I have Jing Liuli's luck and my large amount of popularity points to support me, I don't believe I can still suffer five consecutive defeats in strengthening!"

"strengthen!"

[Ding! Enhancement successful! Star Binding Myriad Forms enhanced to +2!]

[New Effect: Improved precision in Star Energy manipulation; enhanced Star Energy compression effect]

Upon seeing this, Tiandao's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked 'Continue to strengthen'.

Since we're on a winning streak, we must strike while the iron is hot!
[Ding! Enhancement successful! Star Binding Myriad Forms enhanced to +3 (reached maximum)!]

[New effect: Significantly improves the precision of star energy manipulation, completely compresses one's own star energy and aura, and greatly increases cultivation speed]

"Phew, it's finally done."

Tiandao let out a sigh of relief and slumped into his chair, looking 'exhausted'. It wasn't easy, it really wasn't easy at all.

This kind of luck-based thing is definitely not suitable for a 'master of skill' like him.

Only a foolish "luck monster" like Jing Liuli can follow this unreasonable "luck flow".

After a moment of reflection, Tiandao picked up the enhanced Binding Star Myriad Forms, transformed it into an eye patch, and examined it closely.

Unlike the initial version which only had ordinary patterns.

The +3 enhancement to the Star Binding Myriad Forms not only significantly improves its effects, but also greatly enhances its appearance.

Compared to the so-called 'improving the precision of star energy manipulation' and 'increasing cultivation speed', what Heaven values ​​most is its ability to 'completely compress its own star energy and aura'.

Because it is combined with the Heavenly Dao's own 'all things return to seclusion'.

Ordinary people would be lucky to even recognize that they are Star Envoys, let alone discern the true strength of the Heavenly Dao.

Tiandao put on the blindfold and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, he had a head of silver-white, tousled hair, a slender figure, and a 'perfect' facial model.

He truly deserves the title of "star-studded face of the stars."

"not bad."

With the crucial 'ritual prop' in hand, Tiandao felt that his 'Immortal Mode 1.0' had met all the requirements.

It's just a matter of time before it's unleashed during the climax of the theatrical version.

At dawn, the sound of the passenger ship's whistle pierced the morning mist of the city of crimson fog.

The reddish fog characteristic of the Red Fog season enveloped the harbor, making the distant lighthouse emit only a faint light.

Jeremiah stood on the deck of the passenger terminal, engrossed in a shoujo manga with the cover proclaiming "Male protagonist saves amnesiac female protagonist".

His curly hair was a little messy from the morning breeze, but he didn't care at all. Occasionally, he would reach out and lift up any comics that had slipped down.

It seemed that for him, the so-called mission was not as important as reading comics.

Woo!
The dull blast of the ship's horn sounded again, and the passenger ship began to slowly approach the shore.

Jeremiah looked up and his gaze fell on the entrance to the passage.

The camera in the theatrical version followed his gaze and shifted to the entrance of the passage.

Tiandao was seen carrying a suitcase at the front, his black coat swaying gently in the sea breeze.

On his face, he wore an eye patch that had only appeared briefly in the first season, seemingly hinting at something.

Caroline followed behind him, holding the hand of Jing Liuli, whose eyelids were drooping and who was still half asleep.

"Let's go, we've arrived at the port."

Tiandao turned around and called out, his voice carrying a hint of the clear morning light.

Liuli jolted awake, finally opening her sleepy eyes and letting out a small yawn.

"Are we there yet? I haven't had enough sleep."

Caroline patted her head, her green cat ears twitched slightly, and she smiled, saying:
"If you sleep any longer, you'll miss the fried dough sticks at the breakfast stall. Didn't you say yesterday you wanted to eat freshly fried dough sticks?"

Upon hearing the words "youtiao" (fried dough sticks), Liuli instantly perked up.

He immediately grabbed Caroline's hand and ran forward.

"Let's go quickly! I want two! And I want them dipped in sweet soy milk!"

Tiandao watched the two figures disappear into the distance, smiled helplessly, and followed them with his suitcase.

The three figures quickly blended into the crowd at the dock, and the morning light shone through the mist, casting long shadows of them.

Jeremiah gazed in the direction where the three had disappeared, a deep look flashing in his eyes. He silently closed the comic book in his hand, a lazy smile playing on his lips.

"From today onwards, the entire Scarlet Mist should become much more lively."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeremiah took those exaggeratedly long strides and followed the flow of people away from the crowded passenger passage.

Unlike Tiandao and the others, he walked in the exact opposite direction after disembarking.
