Chapter 75 The Supreme First Emperor
Lisa poured Li Xia another cup of tea, the clear tea reflecting Lisa's peony-like face.

She waved to the chimpanzee, who immediately stood up and walked straight outside.

"Although much of the intelligence was just a very brief sentence."

Her plump, fair hand pushed the teacup forward slightly.

"But sometimes a short sentence can save most people from taking many detours, or even save their lives."

"If it weren't for collaborators, this intelligence would never have been leaked. Every word I'm about to say is the culmination of the Apostles' hard work, even tested with their lives."

Li Xia also became increasingly serious.

"First, Mr. Claude specifically instructed me about the characters in the story—"

Lisa paused, organizing her thoughts:

"In the lower-level worlds, namely levels 1-3, the worlds experienced by the apostles are all worlds created by the temple based on real-world models. There may be some differences in details, but they are generally familiar to the apostles."

This is to give the apostles a certain advantage in the early stages of the story, allowing for a smooth transition.

By the way, the Apostles all come from different parallel universes, you should have noticed that by now, right?

Huh? Li Xia's heart skipped a beat. The apostles came from a different parallel Earth?

He still thought all the apostles came from the same real world, and wondered why, given the size of the temple, there must be millions of apostles hidden among the five temples.

"This is why even if you've read a script, there might be discrepancies between it and your memory, because even the same script can have different details in different parallel universes."

Lisa parted her red lips slightly and uttered a number that shocked Li Xia:
"Currently, we have counted 4399 Earths from different dimensions, and these parallel Earths are roughly similar."

As for exactly how many parallel universes exist, only the highest authority likely knows.

Li Xia nodded, and despite his shock, he surprisingly felt it wasn't a big deal; it was just 4399 Earths.

“Mr. Claude said you obtained the Chest of Destiny in the Trials of the United War, which is something to celebrate.”

Lisa skipped over the little incident and brought the topic back:
“Mr. Claude also had a slight worry. He was concerned that you might kill plot characters and create Destiny Chests, and then go on a killing spree of plot characters in later worlds in order to open Destiny Chests.”

Believe it or not, that's exactly what Li Xia thinks!
The Fate equipment is so powerful that the Doom debuff even has a magical effect on his talent debuff, with two negatives making a positive.

"This is the normal thought for everyone after obtaining the Treasure Chest of Destiny, but the information I want to share is that the conditions and probability of obtaining the Treasure Chest of Destiny are extremely demanding."

Only by killing him at a crucial moment when the fates of important characters intersect will you cause a great upheaval in destiny, and there is a possibility that a treasure chest of destiny will appear.

Note that this is only a possibility.

What followed was the backlash of fate—

As Lisa spoke, she couldn't help but swallow hard, as if this twist of fate had deeply shocked her.

A twist of fate?
Li Xia recalled the notification that appeared when he killed Bard, but it seemed to have been negated by his innate skill.

But now that I've acquired the Doom talent skill, once I activate it, I'll likely end up feeding Doom.

"Does that mean we can't kill any characters in the story?"

“Of course not.” Lisa shook her head.
"It's actually very simple. As long as your fate becomes intertwined with his, you can basically ignore the backlash. It's also very easy to determine whether you've become intertwined."

Once the hall issues a kill mission, an interaction occurs, and the kill can be performed.

"I see," Li Xia nodded, making a mental note of it.

"This is also what Mr. Claude specifically reminded you of, not wanting you to get into pointless killing of plot characters. In fact, killing plot characters could cause huge plot changes."

For example, you might be hunted down by some of the world's most powerful figures; the specifics will require you to figure things out for yourself in the world.

Lisa concluded with a long speech, then picked up her teacup, blew on it, and said with a smile:

"Many people actually have a misconception that as long as they kill plot characters, they can get good loot. How should I put it, it's very naive and foolish. They completely fail to understand that the key to becoming stronger for an Apostle is actually the rewards from the Hall. What the Hall needs is what the Apostle should do."

Li Xia leaned back against the soft sofa back; this information was really useful.

It is extremely useful, at least for newcomers like myself who are just entering the world.

"What about the second piece of intelligence?"

"The second item is very simple, it's just adding points."

Lisa waved her hand, bringing up a virtual attribute panel.

"Apostles have five attributes, which we call the five dimensions. Many apostles use a game-playing mindset to allocate attribute points, thinking that if they want agility, they should only add agility. This is actually a huge mistake."

Lisa tapped the agility button several times on the virtual panel in front of Li Xia, much to Li Xia's surprise.

The originally well-proportioned human body in the virtual panel becomes slender at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Or just increase the power!"

After resetting the panel and investing heavily in the Strength attribute, the human muscles in the panel rapidly expanded.

Finally, a muscular man with bulging muscles appeared before them.

"Do you understand? An increase in a single attribute will cause changes in the physical body. For example, if strength exceeds other attributes by too much, it may even cause a decrease in dexterity."

Adding too much dexterity will decrease strength.

This is the real world, not a game, so for an apostle, the minimum requirement is a balance between two attributes, such as strength and dexterity, with a difference of no more than 5 points.

Just like charm, such a purely subjective attribute is impossible.

Lisa said calmly:
"But this is just the most common way to allocate points for apostles. Powerful apostles usually have a balanced three-dimensional system based on their own development direction."

Even more advanced is a setup with three main attributes and one secondary attribute, where all three main attributes are identical, but the secondary attribute is five points lower.

Li Xia frowned, quickly digesting what Lisa had said. The ordinary one is two-dimensional balance, the stronger one is three-dimensional balance, and the most outstanding one is three main and one auxiliary.
"What about four-dimensional balance?"

"Four-dimensional balance is exclusive to the strongest at each level. If the attribute point gain in each world is less than 12 points, don't even think about four-dimensional balance; it's just wishful thinking."

Li Xia walked quietly down the bustling central street. When he passed the trading square, he only paused briefly, glancing at the enhancement hall and skill hall before looking away again.

Before he could focus on strengthening his abilities, he had more important things to do.

Back in his room, he looked up at the void and said:

"Palace, I want to return to the real world."

[Apostle No. 27149 has been detected to have spent an extended period in the Hall. Would you like to spend 1 merit point to retain this?]

【reserve!】

[Successfully saved, teleporting to the real world]

real world
Li Xia slowly opened her eyes from the dizziness of the teleportation.

He issued a call using his mind.

"Transcendence, take me back."

{Congratulations on your triumphant return, Your Majesty the First Acting Emperor}
