Chapter 357: Sudden Enhancement
Chapter 357: Sudden Enhancement
"Divine Court... Forest Courtyard..."
The underground was illuminated by a faint green light.
Lindsey sighed, now understanding everything.
In the ruins of an ancient city in the Black Mountain World, he had discovered a fragment of a weapon—Brutal Dominion.
This item required extremely high-level props.
Currently, Lindsey could only use it as an accessory, and its effect was very simple.
[Obtain Divine Court Noble identity, double the number of summon slots.]
This was the key to everything he had encountered so far.
It wasn't about nature affinity or the blessings of nature spirits.
The crucial factor was this Divine Court Noble identity.
Lindsey pondered the information he already knew.
In that ancient war, whose years were unknown, the Elemental Realm was shattered, and the cities of the Black Mountain World were frozen in glaciers. The great war must have been a catastrophic end-time scenario.
And the city frozen underground was ruled by a force called the Divine Court.
The Black Mountain World was adjacent to the Forest Courtyard World.
With the power of Awakened Ones during that era, the Forest Courtyard World was most likely under the rule of the Divine Court as well.
"The worlds are connected to each other."
"Although they are separated by boundaries, they can't be considered completely independent worlds."
Lindsey sighed.
If these thoughts were correct, then the Forest Vein that currently affected the entire Forest Courtyard World.
In that distant era, what was the situation?
Had it not yet been born?
Or was it during that period that the Awakened Ones did something, which led to everything that exists today?
The appearance of the Forest Will at this moment answered Lindsey's question.
The Forest Courtyard World had been modified by the Awakened Ones.
So when Lindsey, with his Divine Court Noble identity, arrived here, the forest's hostility did not target its former master at any moment.
Even when Lindsey stepped onto the island secret realm, this large node of the forest vein.
The Forest Will immediately awakened from its deep slumber.
It dragged Lindsey and the island secret realm into a safe underground area and offered a fruit that could heal his left arm injury.
"..."
"This way, aren't my preparations for healing useless?"
"This healing process took quite some effort."
Lindsey smiled and shook his head.
He activated the commodity skill, and the effect of the fruit appeared.
[Unusual Artifact: Visceral Fruit]
[A wondrous fruit imbued with powerful vitality. Possesses strong healing and purification powers, capable of cleansing most negative traits in the world when consumed.]
[An extremely rare fruit, priced very high.]
There was no negative description; it was a pure medicinal remedy.
Lindsey didn't hesitate; he picked up the fruit and ate it.
The Visceral Fruit had almost no taste, but it was juicy and refreshing. After chewing a few times, it transformed into pure and powerful vitality, flowing down his throat.
"Umm..."
Lindsey paused, his body tensing.
The power of the Visceral Fruit entered his body, and in an instant, it detected the skill interference from the Extinction Crown.
The powerful vitality pounced on it, clashing with the force symbolizing slaughter.
"This... this is too intense."
Lindsey clenched his teeth, cold sweat breaking out.
The two powerful forces fought within him, causing unimaginable pain that ordinary people couldn't fathom.
He half-knelt on the ground, his body trembling.
Only his strong willpower kept him from fainting on the spot.
As Lindsey struggled, the willpower of the Heaven's Ladder also began to manifest around him.
...
The battle within Lindsey's body lasted for more than five minutes.
When everything calmed down, he plopped down on the ground, his clothes completely soaked in sweat.
His hand supporting his body immediately became muddy, an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
"..."
"I don't want to experience this again."
Lindsey panted.
At this moment, he checked his attribute panel, and the negative status from the Extinction Crown had vanished without a trace.
"..."
Lindsey said nothing, extending his left hand, clenching and unclenching it.
He repeated this motion several times.
Unlike the mere data changes on the panel, the clear sense of strength from the muscles and bones of his left hand confirmed that he had recovered to the most perfect state of health!
"This power, it's not over yet?"
Lin Sai's gaze grew solemn as he perceived the power within his body. The Visceral Fruit's energy was not yet exhausted!
The remaining power, having no targets to heal, continued to function and began to merge with Lin Sai's body.
Life Origin Type Ascension:
Life Lineage (Sproutling) → (Growth)
The enhancement of his Life Origin Type seemed effortless, with no hindrances or delays. The ascension information promptly appeared on his Attribute Panel, and the benefits of the Origin Type, as described by Qinggan, granted Lin Sai a new ability.
Superhuman Endurance: Greatly enhances physical recovery speed.
Lin Sai examined his attributes in detail.
The ascension of his Life Origin Type increased his strength and agility by 6 points each, an impressive boost. However, the most significant improvement was in his Constitution, which soared by a whopping 15 points!
"With equipment, my Constitution surpasses 60 points..."
This formidable Constitution granted him an inhuman level of endurance. Lin Sai felt as if he could maintain a healthy physique for over ten days without sleep, food, or water!
But the enhancements weren't over yet!
After both Heaven's Ladder and Life Lineage reached their milestones, Lin Sai's existing Phase V Game Skill foundation also naturally progressed.
Game Player Upgrade:
Game Master (Stage 3) → Elite Player (Stage 4)
Active Ability: Promotional Discount
Promotional Discount: Reduces the amount of Origin Type required when using Game Skills.
"Why didn't I get a module slot this time?"
Lin Sai's eyebrows furrowed. He had assumed that each level-up of the Game Player skill would unlock an additional module slot, but this time, the result defied his expectations.
Since the upgrade didn't consistently grant module slots, Lin Sai, based on his understanding of this world, anticipated that reaching the fifth stage, the stage of Ascension, would bring about a transformation in the Game Player's abilities.
Perhaps, upon reaching the fifth stage, the Game Player skill would unlock even more intriguing capabilities.
"...This harvest is indeed substantial..."
"Damn!"
Lin Sai was about to sigh in awe when trouble caught up with him.
As Heaven's Ladder and Life Lineage both met their criteria, their formidable powers began to manifest. However, their inherent incompatibility led to an immediate conflict within Lin Sai's body!
The internal struggle directly inflicted harm on Lin Sai's body.
Subsequently, the self-healing ability granted by Life Lineage kicked in, attempting to repair the damage.
This cycle of harm and healing was not balanced, instead attracting Heaven's Ladder to the site of the injury for further conflict.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Sai found himself in a torturous situation!
"So intense?!"
Lin Sai clenched his fists and knelt on the ground.
The powers he wielded were indeed mighty, but the aftermath of their clash resulted in an exceptionally severe injury.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Sai meticulously inspected his items. He tremblingly took out a piece of roasted meat that enhanced recovery and some coca leaves to resist pain, chewing them briefly before swallowing.
The food and medicine took effect immediately.
Lin Sai leaned back, finally regaining the strength to perform other actions.
However, this only alleviated the surface issues; it did nothing to resolve the underlying conflict between the Origin Types!
Lin Sai shook his head with a bitter expression:
"Is this the price of coveting two Origin Types?"
"...I have incorporated their wills. They no longer oppose the forest."
Just then, the ancient and feeble voice spoke again in Lin Sai's ear.
The Forest Will, having just returned from the surface, had included Qinggan and Elaine in the friendly forces.
After fulfilling Lin Sai's request, its gaze returned below, only to witness this awkward scene and understand the reason behind it.
The Forest Will spoke up:
"The coexistence of two Origin Types can lead to intense conflict, and Life Sovereign and Divine Path are fundamentally incompatible."
"My esteemed sir, allow me to offer a suggestion."
"It would be best to consume a significant amount of Will Origin Type, allowing Life Origin Type to suppress it, thus ensuring your body is no longer subjected to such torment."
