Those who reincarnate must die.

"Oh my gosh, you managed to get your hands on something really good while I was asleep!"

Zhang Lang recognized that voice all too well.

"Xu? You're awake?"

"Hmm..." The ethereal voice sounded quite energetic: "Thanks to you, I've killed enough Reincarnators during this time, and I've also replenished myself quite a bit... But that's not important. Let me see your new enhancement... A wish? Impressive, impressive!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "With this, my hometown can be restored!"

"Don't rush this!" The ethereal voice was full of interest. "The ability to grant wishes—that's arguably the power closest to the altar's very essence. Let's study it first before using it; we might be able to glean some information about the altar!"

"I felt the same way," Zhang Lang nodded. "That's why I haven't made a wish yet."

Xu chuckled and said, "But before that, let's redeem my rewards first!"

"While I was asleep, you killed nearly a thousand heroes, including many skilled ones, and amassed a considerable fortune!"

As he spoke, he showed off the score he had accumulated so far.

Total score: 1280026!

One million two hundred and eighty thousand?

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up: "Adding this to the 700,000+ from the altar, wouldn't that make two million? Just throw it into the wishing well, and the restoration of our homeland will be 2% complete!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you..." he sighed softly. "My score can't be thrown into the wishing well..."

"What?"

"You probably already know that, right?" Xu chuckled. "I'm basically a hacker in the altar; the rewards I steal are all illegal, so how could they possibly be recognized...? So, you'd better just obediently exchange your enhancements for mine..."

"That's the only way..." Zhang Lang's voice was tinged with disappointment, and then, guided by the illusory figure, he began to exchange his tokens.

In order to maximize his profits, Zhang Lang still chose the unique level 2 item that cost 8,000 each. However, after redeeming it, it showed that there were no rewards to draw and it was directly converted into 40 attribute points.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lang asked, puzzled.

"You think unique items are as common as cabbages? As far as I know, there are probably only a little over a thousand unique items in the entire altar, across five categories, averaging about two hundred per category, twelve races, and several thousand heroes in total. That means roughly thirty heroes are needed to get one unique Blood Enhancement!"

"This doesn't even include the sacrifices, which outnumber the heroes by dozens of times. In fact, because the lottery mechanism is fair to all, the probability of unique rewards falling into the hands of sacrifices is higher. However, most of them don't stay for long. After many years of accumulation and change, most of them end up in the hands of heroes."

"And you, kid, you already have so many unique items all by yourself, that's enough for you. Want to draw more?"

"Then there aren't any new ones?" Zhang Lang frowned.

"The altar occasionally generates new rewards, but unfortunately, there aren't any at this crucial moment..."

"What about all those people I just killed?" Zhang Lang was still somewhat unwilling. "Those were all leaders of various races. Didn't they have any unique rewards to reciprocate?"

"Maybe so. Oh dear, the altar is so big, there are so many reincarnators drawing lots every moment. Maybe it'll be drawn right now... Don't overthink it. It's not a bad deal to exchange it for attributes. Hurry up and get to work. After we finish exchanging, we still need to study your wish..."

"Then should I try my luck with some rare items?"

"Are you ever going to stop?!" Xu finally snapped. "What's the point of low-level enhancements for you right now! Improving your stats is what really matters!"

Urged on by Xu, Zhang Lang finally embarked on a path of frantically increasing his attributes. Since he knew he wouldn't get any enhancements anyway, he simply closed his eyes and chose to withdraw. As his points were rapidly depleted, his various attributes also increased wildly.

But after a short while, a somewhat jarring notification sound suddenly rang out, indicating that the enhancement had failed to be reverted.

What happened?

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Lang noticed a notification popping up on the altar:

"The Reincarnator's attributes have reached their limit and cannot be increased further."

Upper limit?

Zhang Lang looked at his attribute table with a puzzled expression.

Gold (healing, immune system): Unmeasurable

Wood (Perception Ability): 9999 points

Water (reaction, calculation, memory): 9999 points

Fire (Muscle Strength): 9999 points + 2000 points (from the World-Destroying Divine Weapon)

Earth (Body Strength, Energy Storage and Intake): 9999 points + 2000 points (from the World-Destroying Divine Weapon) + 5050 points (from the Indestructible Golden Body)

属性效果：100%（基础）+30%（不破金身）+200%（最强属性）+20%（崩劲）+30%（五行相生）+50%（地狱金刚）=430%x150%（成倍增强）=645%

Yin (stabilizing energy): 198 points

Yang (active energy): 196 points

…………

What's going on? Except for the metal attribute, all the base attribute points have become 9999. Is this the upper limit?

"Hahaha, we've finally arrived!" A smug laugh echoed in my mind: "You've finally reached the final threshold!"

"What does this mean? The final hurdle?" Zhang Lang asked, puzzled.

"The maximum number of points each attribute can be granted by the altar is 9999!" Xu explained. "Above this, it cannot be improved through conventional means. However, if a method is found that allows for further improvement, it's possible to increase it by just one last point!"

"And with this last point added, you will step into another realm; this is the final threshold!"

"The threshold to holiness!"

"Holy?" Zhang Lang was a little confused. "9999, add a little more, and it's only 10,000 points, right?" He pointed to his fire and earth attributes and said, "My two attributes have already exceeded 10,000 points because of the enhancement. If I activate the Collapse Force, all my attributes can exceed 10,000, and the earth attribute can even approach 20,000. Wouldn't I have already passed the threshold?"

"How can that be the same!" Xu retorted, "The extra attributes you gain through other enhancements are only equivalent attributes. Even if they exceed ten thousand, the bonus they bring you is just a continuation of the calculation based on the previous attribute enhancement formula."

"For example, if your earth attribute is currently 17,000, then assuming that the upper limit of your current body attribute is not 9999, but 20,000 or even 30,000, according to the current attribute enhancement rules, the strength you should get when you increase it to 17,000 is what you should get."

"But the last point is different! It means you've broken through the limits; the calculation formula is completely different! You could even say there's no formula at all. It brings about a qualitative change! It's something that no amount of equivalent attributes can compare to!"

"To put it another way, the improvement you get from this addition might be more significant than all your previous enhancements combined!"
