Chapter 68: Rejection?
[Teleportation complete. You have returned to Reincarnation Paradise.]
As the spatial fluctuations subsided, Su Xiao had just returned to his Exclusive Room when he received an email from Fatty. Accepting this email required a payment of 600,000 Paradise Coins.
After converting Soul Coins into Paradise Coins, Su Xiao accepted the email. An electronic device resembling a black handheld console appeared. It was about 20 centimeters long, slightly larger than a smartphone, with no buttons on either end but numerous sensors instead.
This item was called a "Deathmatch Personal Terminal" and was in an unactivated state. Upon activation, it would generate an account bound to both the personal terminal and Su Xiao's life aura.
Furthermore, this personal terminal had already been notarized by Reincarnation Paradise. The promotional line about it being a "one-time opportunity" was not just a gimmick.
Su Xiao decided not to activate the Deathmatch Personal Terminal for now. He was about to enter a new world, and if he had free time after arriving, he could consider activating it.
After waiting an hour, the random world matching would begin. This was the standard way to enter a mission world, but Su Xiao planned to go seize the Void Tree Fruit this time, so he certainly wouldn't wait for a random match.
During the Strongest Warrior Tournament, Su Xiao had arrived at the Viking Sea, where he obtained a gem with a rating of ???. The lingering soul obsession attached to it made it impossible to discern the gem's grade or properties.
[Eternal Will]
Origin: Holy Light Paradise
Quality: ???
Type: Gem
Effect: After removing the lingering soul obsession attached to the gem, this attribute becomes visible.
Rating: ???
Description: I actually died in the jaws of a sea beast. They just watched, smiling as they watched, watching me be swallowed by that mouthful of layered fangs, watching me... sink into the deep sea. I was the one who temporarily freed them from the world's constraints. I was the one who brought them to the Viking Sea.
The Void Tree Fruit is not something you are qualified to consume. Without the notarization of the Paradise, you natives of the Primordial World can only stare at that fruit forever.
Just wait. I come from Holy Light Paradise. Someone will come for you. It might be a divine stick from Sanctuary Paradise, a ranger from Death Paradise, or those terrifying madmen from Reincarnation Paradise. That would be best. Those madmen will drag you out one by one, make you taste true despair, and then take everything from you. I look forward to this scene, traitors.
...
The description of this gem contained quite a bit of information. A Contractor from Holy Light Paradise had entered the Viking Sea, but not through normal means. Instead, he brought several natives from a Primordial World and entered the Viking Sea from within that world. His goal was, of course, the Void Tree Fruit.
Due to the special method of acquisition, without Paradise notarization, those traitors would basically be unable to use the Void Tree Fruit.
For Su Xiao, this was an opportunity. He had obtained this gem back when he was at the Sixth Rank. The reason he hadn't used it until now was that he felt the world entered through this gem was likely not a Sixth Rank world. It was probably Seventh Rank, with a small chance of being Eighth Rank.
This Contractor was Sixth Rank, otherwise he wouldn't have died in the Viking Sea. As for the Primordial World natives who cooperated with him, they were likely not at Sixth Rank strength. They had broken through the world's constraints with the help of the Sixth Rank Contractor to enter the Viking Sea. Could natives from a Sixth Rank world accomplish this?
Su Xiao felt that this world likely had a high degree of openness. It might be accessible to Contractors from Rank 5 to 7, or even Rank 6 to 8.
Such Primordial Worlds were not uncommon. As long as the Primordial World was large enough, it was common for Contractors of several different Ranks to enter it simultaneously.
The Ghost World and the Wizard World were both of this type. The region determined the danger level. Contractors of different Ranks had different initial teleportation points. As long as one didn't court death by entering a high-Rank area, the danger level remained controllable.
If that world was vast enough, its supernatural characteristics would certainly not be low. Excessive supernatural traits would inevitably give rise to many races. Once there were many races, conflicts between them would be inevitable.
Su Xiao's speculation ended here. He could think of this directly not because of foresight, but because he had experienced numerous mission worlds.
To enter this unknown world, [Eternal Will] alone was insufficient. This item was at most a coordinate. He also needed an item to "open the door." Coincidentally, Su Xiao had such an item: the [Book of Doors].
Usage Effect 1: World Lock (Active). Can consume one "Treeborn Page" to lock the coordinates of a specified world.
Tip: This is a self-selected world. Mission rewards increased by 50%, World Source rewards increased by 30%.
Tip: When entering the selected world, normal teleportation methods apply. After entering the specified world, aside from increased reward gains, Main Missions, Hunt Missions, etc., remain unchanged.
...
Su Xiao tore a page from the [Book of Doors] and placed it in the air before him. The Treeborn Page immediately became still.
He took out [Eternal Will] and placed it at the center of the Treeborn Page. Light flowed from the gem, and the Treeborn Page behind it gradually disintegrated, transforming into tree roots that sank into the surrounding air.
After doing this, Su Xiao equipped the [Sky-Shattering Surge] Title. As an Eight-Star Title, [Sky-Shattering Surge] had a powerful ability.
Descent (Passive): When a Contractor equips this Title and enters a Derived World/Primordial World, they will obtain an initial identity. This identity will have a relatively high status. This is a Neutral-Evil Faction identity.
...
Although equipping [Sky-Shattering Surge] to enter a world would make him an enemy of the World Child, Su Xiao didn't care. If the other party really came to cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind killing that World Child.
Under the suppression of the [Sky-Shattering Surge] Title, killing a World Child would not trigger a World Rejection reaction.
[Hunter about to enter a new world.]
[Tip: This world is a large-scale open world. Contractors from Rank 5 to 7 can all enter it.]
[Tip: This world contains numerous factions, ranging from Good to Chaotic-Evil (faction affinities vary slightly).]
[Due to the influence of the Sky-Shattering Surge·Eight-Star Title, the Hunter will join the Neutral-Evil faction.]
[Due to the Hunter's excessively low Charm Attribute (0.1 points), joining the Neutral-Evil faction will result in rejection and wariness.]
[Due to the Hunter's own Blood Qi, joining the Neutral-Evil faction will result in rejection and wariness.]
[Determination complete. You will join the Chaotic-Evil faction. This type of faction is highly compatible with the Hunter.]
[The only Chaotic-Evil faction in this world is: Chaos Legion·Agamemnon.]
[Your mission rewards are increased by 50%, World Source rewards increased by 30%.]
[Due to the bonus from the Sky-Shattering Surge Title (30% share) and the Hunter's personal reasons (70% share), you will obtain a very high status in the Chaos Legion.]
[Warning: While in this world, the Hunter cannot forcibly command or extort the natives of this world on your own side (a total of three, including one within the Chaos Legion).]
[Warning: While in this world, the Hunter cannot actively massacre Contractors on your own side.]
