# Chapter 3: System Inheritance: Pay the Void Tree enough Space-Time Power to open the Star Realm First Era Beginning ~ Current Era, the "Peak Abilities" of powerful beings of the same system as you are engraved on high steles. You can use the "Engraved High Steles" inscribed with "Peak Abilities" as references to perfect your own "Peak Abilities."
Tip: The "Peak Ability" mastered through this method will initially be at its highest completion state.
Tip: Detected that you are a Technique Grandmaster/Law Destroyer. There are a relatively large number of "Supreme Peak" powerful beings of the same system as you. The total number of "Peak Abilities" you can reference is 19.
...
[Your current promotion has officially begun.]
With the appearance of this notification, Su Xiao felt his flesh, bones, and even his soul begin to transform. This process could only be described as: if he hadn't been tempered by the Law Destruction system's abilities, he would have been sent straight to dreamland on the spot.
35 hours later.
The sensation of teleportation faded. Su Xiao returned to his Exclusive Room. The next second, he nearly blacked out.
Fortunately, he had returned to the main room, not far from the planting area. His vision grew increasingly narrow—this was a sign that his body was about to enter deep slumber to complete the subsequent enhancement. Before falling into slumber, under the escort of Bubu Wang and Amu, he arrived at the planting area and immersed himself in the Sacred Spring.
When Su Xiao woke up, two days had passed. The promotion to Supreme Peak took a total of five days. For three of those days, he was in darkness. For the remaining two days, he occasionally woke up but spent most of the time in slumber. Now, he had finally fully awakened. The first thing he felt upon waking was that his body was completely different from before.
Before he could check his own information, a large number of notifications appeared.
[You have completed this "Supreme Peak" promotion.]
[All of your "Base Health Points" will be promoted to "Supreme Health Points."]
[Promotion ratio: 1:1 point.]
[Current Supreme Health Points: 30,000,000 points.]
[Supreme Health Points will have a higher upper limit.]
[Attacks that do not possess "Supreme Power Characteristics" will have their damage to your "Supreme Health Points" reduced by more than 95.62%. That is, any conventional attack of 10,000 intensity with any characteristic will only deal 438 damage to you, and this is the damage intensity calculated without considering all of your defensive characteristic abilities.]
[Warning: "True Damage" is the highest tier of damage and can deal full damage to "Supreme Health Points." Secondary top-tier damages such as Holy Damage will be judged as conventional attacks when facing the suppression of "Supreme Health Points," meaning the damage dealt will be reduced by more than 95.62%.]
...
[All of your "Base Mana Points" will be promoted to "Supreme Mana Points."]
[Promotion ratio: 1:1 point.]
[Current Supreme Mana Points: 3,000,000 points.]
[Supreme Mana Points will have a higher upper limit.]
...
[All of your main attributes have been promoted to Supreme Main Attributes.]
[Promotion ratio: 100:1 point (i.e., 100 points of True Body Attributes condense into 1 point of Supreme Body Attribute).]
[Current Supreme Strength, Supreme Agility, Supreme Stamina, and Supreme Intelligence are all: 50 points.]
[Supreme Main Attributes will have a higher upper limit.]
[Due to this Supreme promotion, your Supreme Body Attributes will increase by 20%.]
[Your Supreme Strength, Supreme Agility, Supreme Stamina, and Supreme Intelligence have all been increased to: 60 points.]
...
[You have been promoted to Supreme Peak. Your "Supreme Being" ability has become invalid.]
[The infrastructure corresponding to Supreme Peak has been opened to you: Extreme Realm.]
[Your Soul Strength upper limit has been promoted from 3,058 points to 5,800 points.]
[Your True Willpower upper limit has been promoted along with Soul Strength.]
[Due to your promotion to "Supreme Peak," your fortune will undergo a leap-level increase.]
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao suddenly sensed something was wrong.
...
[Your fortune has been promoted to: -13,000,000 points.]
...
The good news was that his fortune was like this because of "Law Destruction Fortune" + "Original Sin Fortune." It would not trigger under normal circumstances, only when engaging in probability-based profit behaviors.
Correspondingly, his fortune was maintained like a "fortune electrocardiogram." The bottom point of his fortune was -13,000,000 points, so the peak was also 13,000,000 points. This meant that to whatever extent he could be extremely unlucky, he could also be extremely lucky.
In addition, the original judgments for conventional Health Points, Mana Points, and True Main Attributes were all defaulted to Supreme Health Points, Supreme Mana Points, and Supreme Main Attributes.
Semi-datafication was never like game attributes with fixed calculation methods. When two types of body energy interacted, if one side suffered from rank suppression, the result would be quite tragic.
The same applied to Supreme Health Points, Mana Points, and Main Attributes. In a pure strength contest, even 20 points of "Supreme Strength" attribute could beat 3,000 points of True Strength to the point of questioning life, let alone 30 points of "Supreme Strength" attribute.
This was the gap in power rank, the gap in power condensation degree, and even the difference in power invocation methods.
Of course, it couldn't be said that True Strength was completely unable to beat Supreme Strength. Stacking True Strength to 9,000 to 12,000 points could very likely overpower 30 points of "Supreme Strength."
The biggest problem was actually here: the upper limit. Su Xiao's total main attributes of 5,000 points were the limit in Star Realm history. Although he wasn't the first person, this height was the limit of True Body Attributes certified by the Void Tree.
On the other hand, for "Supreme Strength," Su Xiao's 50 points of "Supreme Strength" were just the beginning. He had just been promoted and gained 10 points. This 10-point increase actually gave him a feeling, from a long time ago, of a surge in body power that was difficult to control. Fortunately, as a Technique Grandmaster, this feeling quickly subsided.
[Detected that your "Ultimate Basic Passive: Overlord Power, X" has experienced a significant degree of bonus failure. Do you wish to use the remaining promotion enhancement quota for this promotion to perform adaptive enhancement on this ability?]
[You have chosen to perform this practical enhancement. The currently effective bonuses of "Ultimate Basic Passive: Overlord Power, X" have been permanently added to your own physique, except for "Exempt All Damage Characteristics."]
[This ability is being re-constant...]
[Detected that some of your abilities are highly correlated with the characteristics of this ability. Abilities are being sacrificed...]
[The gain "Undying Overlord" obtained from breaking through 10,000,000 Health Points has been sacrificed to complete the perfection of "Overlord Power."]
"Undying Overlord: For every 20% loss of maximum Health Points, gain 5 seconds of 'Overlord Style,' gaining 30% 'Damage Reduction.'"
"Tip: This is the basic characteristic 'Damage Reduction.'"
"Tip: The basic characteristic 'Damage Reduction' can be increased up to 95%."
[The "10% All Damage Reduction" bonus of your "Blade Domain" has been devoured by "Overlord Power." Other characteristics of "Blade Domain" remain unchanged.]
[Ability transforming...]
[Transformation complete. Your "Ultimate Passive: Overlord Power" has completed this enhancement.]
[Ultimate Passive: Overlord Power, X]
Skill Effect: Exempt 75% of all damage. For each Overlord Equipment piece worn/equipped, your main weapon attack power increases by 12%.
Tip: Each person can wear/equip a maximum of five Overlord Equipment pieces.
...
This was simple and pure power. Su Xiao sat cross-legged in the hot spring created by the Sacred Spring water. Warm steam rose slowly. His feeling at this moment was very good.
Generally speaking, when a Contractor was promoted to "Supreme Peak," there would be a period of discomfort. The main reason was that their body energy was promoted to "Supreme Body Energy," and many of their former "Active Skills" became tricky to handle. Commonly known as, it was difficult to bear the enhanced "Supreme Body Energy."
Any ability was not conjured out of thin air; there was a method of use. In this method, the most important thing was the ability core.
To put it simply, if the core limit intensity of an "Active Skill" construction was 150, and in the past, using conventional body energy, the peak was only around 110 to 120, there was no need to worry about the "Active Skill" construction core overloading.
But "Supreme Body Energy" had a base intensity of 300+. This caused the former "Active Skill" core carrier to go boom during the activation process. The resulting mental/soul force shock was both uncomfortable and heartbreaking.
Su Xiao had no such problem at all. He had only two active combat skills: Cyan Steel Shadow Energy and Dragon Shadow Flash.
Consider the Lv.185 "Cyan Steel Shadow Energy" ability. It was estimated that its skill core intensity would go straight to 8,000+. Just go all out and output body energy, and that was it.
"Battle Form: Intense Boiling (Active): Make Cyan Steel Shadow Energy 'boil,' changing from per-minute consumption to per-second consumption, and Mana Point consumption increases by 1,000%. The final True Damage that Cyan Steel Shadow Energy can cause is multiplied by 3.5 times."
The appearance of this characteristic itself represented the outrageous carrying capacity of the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy ability.
As for Dragon Shadow Flash, this ability could only be described as speechless. In the past, it was activated using ordinary Cyan Steel Shadow Energy ability, requiring "1,500 points of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy per use of Dragon Shadow Flash."
Now it had become "Each use of Dragon Shadow Flash requires 5,000 points of 'Supreme Mana Points.'"
This feeling was clearly that in the past, when Su Xiao didn't have "Supreme Body Energy," Dragon Shadow Flash was barely activated using "Cyan Steel Shadow Energy." But being able to activate it and being able to unleash its full power were completely different.
What was even more troublesome was that this ability was not prepared for Law Destroyers below "Supreme Peak." If Su Xiao now went to the room storing the "Awakening Stele" and placed one hand on it, more than ten kinds of abilities that "Supreme Peak" could master would appear. "Dragon Shadow Flash" was among them.
Back then, Su Xiao came into contact with the Dragon Shadow Flash ability through the "Supreme Blade Effect" of Dragon-Slaying Flash. As his strength increased, this ability became an ability he himself mastered. Moreover, after being enhanced time and time again, it had its current form.
But even so, among the powerful enemies he had fought in recent worlds, some had begun to be able to break the "Dragon Shadow Flash" ability. The battle against the God Slayer was the most brutal. Su Xiao almost had a small half of his body blown apart because of this.
And now, Dragon Shadow Flash showed its true power:
[Dragon Shadow Flash: X (Active Ability)]
Skill Effect: Can penetrate World Region to move 300 meters, freely choose between 0 meters and 300 meters.
Tip: Dragon Shadow Flash cooldown time is 30 seconds.
Tip: Each use of Dragon Shadow Flash requires 5,000 points of "Supreme Mana Points."
Tip: Penetrating the world and entering the "Void Realm" can be maintained for 0.1 to 2 seconds (the duration of the space penetration state is determined by the user's will).
...
What did it mean to penetrate a "World Region" to move? In short, penetrating space was going from point A through space to point B and coming out. Penetrating a "World Region" was going from point A through into the "Void Realm," moving within the "Void Realm," and then coming out from point B.
In terms of movement speed, penetrating space was definitely faster, taking only about 0.16 seconds in total. But if it was penetrating a "World Region," it would take at least 0.5 seconds in total.
If it was penetrating space, once the enemy's attack could break through space, the penetrator would immediately be blasted out. On the other hand, when penetrating the world, the enemy's attack would first have to break space, then affect the World Region, and only after breaking the World Region could it reach the "Void Realm."
To put it more simply, the "Void Realm" was the layer between the material plane and the elemental layer of the world. Generally, only elemental drifting creatures existed in this layer.
If an Abyss system dared to enter the "Void Realm," they would immediately be attacked by elemental drifting creatures. Su Xiao, with an Elemental Affinity of 1,522 points, entering the "Void Realm" would not be disturbed by the normally lazy elemental drifting creatures. At most, they would wave their tentacles at him from afar, indicating friendliness.
Su Xiao checked his current personal information, which was:
Supreme Health Points: 100% (35,000,000 points).
Supreme Mana Points: 4,000,000 points.
Supreme Strength: 60 points.
Supreme Agility: 60 points.
Supreme Stamina: 60 points.
Supreme Intelligence: 60 points.
True Charm: -36 points.
True Luck Attribute: 28 points.
Abyss Resistance: 213 points.
Fortune: -13,000,000 points.
...
There was bad news. After being promoted to Supreme Peak, the main attributes could no longer use "Power Source Matter" to enhance their own main attributes after the promotion was completed. This was why the previous notification said the "Supreme Being" ability had become invalid.
"Supreme Being: Secret Art Power: After absorbing one standard unit of 'Power Source Matter,' current Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence permanently increase by 10%."
Another piece of bad news was that it wasn't as imagined, being able to obtain "Supreme Free Attribute Points" in world settlements. After reaching Supreme Peak, to enhance main attributes, one could only rely on various opportunities or accumulated hard training over time. The corresponding Reincarnation Paradise infrastructure was "Extreme Realm."
Therefore, the "Power Source Matter" in Su Xiao's subsequent world settlement rewards had been changed to "Time Crystal." Paying one "Time Crystal" allowed one hour of hard training in the "Extreme Realm."
The Supreme Peaks of several major Paradises all agreed on one thing: enhancing Supreme Main Attributes was slow, very slow. Tuanzhang had vaguely mentioned this to Su Xiao before, saying to cherish the happy times when he could still absorb "Power Source Matter." It seemed there were permission restrictions in this regard, so he couldn't speak directly, as it involved the theoretical highest combat power tier.
An ultimate piece of good news was that Su Xiao's exclusive Supreme passive "Power Origin" could enhance his Supreme Strength, Supreme Agility, Supreme Stamina, Supreme Intelligence, and Technique Potential upper limit simultaneously by devouring/absorbing already mastered Supreme passives.
Su Xiao's subsequent method of self-enhancement became clear. First, enhance the core ability "Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash." Second, enhance the four Supreme Main Attributes. Third, master two "Peak Abilities," thereby obtaining unpretentious yet very unsolvable power.
Although Su Xiao had not yet experienced the power of "Peak Abilities," this promotion, not to mention anything else, just the "Supreme Health Points" alone destined how powerless ordinary Supreme beings were against "Supreme Peak."
Before being promoted to Supreme Peak, it was absolutely impossible to awaken the "Supreme Power" within the body. That is, attacks would not have Supreme Power. When facing "Supreme Health Points," this would bring at least a 95.62% damage reduction.
For example, if a most extreme super-top Supreme Being used a powerful trump card, dealing over 5,000,000 points of damage to Su Xiao, it would first have to face his 75% damage reduction, leaving only 1,250,000 points. Then, facing the body defense derived from his "Supreme Stamina," this damage amount would be reduced to a pitiful 160,000 points. After that, various defensive measures would reduce this damage to around 90,000 points.
This "astonishing" 90,000 points of damage, when actually killing "Supreme Health Points," would total a final damage of 3,942 points.
The problem was, if Su Xiao activated the fully unsealed "Dead Silence Descent," even if this most extreme super-top Supreme Being within the "Supreme Domain" could hold on for a few seconds without dying, their attack methods would definitely be reduced by 60% to 70%. That is, the ultimate move would not have the intensity of 5,000,000 points of damage, and the final damage caused would be even lower.
And if this ultimate move was a melee method, 99% of the time, before it could be used, it would be cut down by Su Xiao along with the person and the ultimate move. If it was ranged, passing through the area of "Dead Silence Descent," it would inevitably be decayed to a certain extent. Then, after various damage exemptions and reductions, the final damage that could be caused might not exceed 1,000 points.
To fight a Supreme Peak, one had to be another Supreme Peak. The reason the Demon Race could thrive to this day by being fence-sitters was precisely because of the Supreme Peak within their race, the Demon Old Hag.
Now, Su Xiao needed to master "Peak Abilities" as soon as possible. The problem was that his several money-devouring abilities had drained his originally full wallet to the point of being dry.
He had to shear some wool. He planned to master "Peak Abilities" during this rest period. After pondering for a while, Su Xiao set his target on the Goblin Merchant Guild.
But before that, he had one thing to do. He came to an empty room, removed the Black King Bracer from his left arm, placed it on a metal table, and took out the [Eternal Gem] he had obtained this time. As soon as the [Eternal Gem] appeared, it began to melt, turning into a fluid that dripped onto the Black King Bracer.
With a resonant hum, space twisted into a vortex, sucking Su Xiao and the Black King Bracer into it.
White cotton-like objects floated. Death, ominousness, silence, etc., shrouded the surroundings. In the magnificent hall, Su Xiao stood opposite the Dead Silence Throne. Behind the throne ahead, phantoms of the People of Death, Tree Erosion, Dark Medium, Pale Hunters, Crow Doctor, Holy Song Group, Wolf Knights, Outcast Warriors, Sin Collectives, etc., appeared on both sides or behind the throne.
These phantoms, towards Su Xiao, either prostrated themselves in reverence like the People of Death, with foreheads pressed to the ground, or knelt on one knee with respect like the Holy Song Group, or bowed in salute like the Wolf Knights.
The phantom of the Eternal God appeared behind the throne. The tall Eternal God used the index finger of his claw to point at the throne below and ahead.
Su Xiao walked towards the Dead Silence Throne. As he sat down on the throne, the surrounding Dead Silence power all converged towards the bracer on his left hand. The final seal within the bracer shattered with a bang.
Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. He was still in the branch room of the Exclusive Room. However, the Black King Bracer that had been placed on the metal table in front of him was now worn on his left arm.
[Soul: King's Coronation]
Origin: Source: Dead Silence City.
Quality: Cycle Rank.
Category: Bracer.
Durability: 500/500 points.
Equipment Requirement: Can only be worn by the White King (already met).
Base Effect: Exempt near-death state until death (this bonus has the highest priority).
Equipment Effect: Dead Silence Descent (Core: Active): After activating this ability, the equipment will release a "Dead Silence Domain," rapidly assimilating the environment within 10 to 500,000 meters, temporarily assimilating this area into a "Dead Silence Domain."
Tip: Enemies within this domain have all attributes reduced by 85%, body defense reduced by 95%, all resistances reduced by 95%, movement speed reduced by 120%, and suffer True Erosion Damage equal to 20% of maximum Health Points per second. Additionally, they will undergo "Dead Silence Assimilation," "Dark Evaporation," and "Pale Will" judgments. Failure to pass any of these judgments will immediately result in an "Instant Death Effect."
Tip: If you fully expand "Dead Silence Descent," the "Dead Silence Domain" will begin to violently erode the world, gradually assimilating all World Regions of the world into the terrible environment corresponding to the "Dead Silence Domain."
Warning: When in a world certified by Reincarnation Paradise, the Hunter must not fully expand the "Dead Silence Domain."
Warning: When in a world certified by Reincarnation Paradise, the Hunter must not fully expand the "Dead Silence Domain."
Warning: When in a world certified by Reincarnation Paradise, the Hunter must not fully expand the "Dead Silence Domain."
Tip: Dead Silence Descent (Active) has no consumption.
Tip: The "Dead Silence Domain" duration has no upper limit until the world is completely eroded. The Dead Silence erosion will be permanently fixed in this world. Even if you have left this world, the "Dead Silence Domain" will continue to exist by absorbing the world's World Force, maintaining the "Dead Silence Domain" environment until this world collapses.
Tip: Because this "Supreme Domain" is not your own, when engaging in "Supreme Domain" clashes, this domain will be at a disadvantage.
Tip: Detected that you have mastered "Extreme Physique." This characteristic has "super-magnitude enhanced" the "Dead Silence Domain." The "Dead Silence Domain" enhanced by "Extreme Physique" can 100% resist the "Supreme Domain" released by the enemy, completely canceling out the two, thereby allowing you to 100% exempt the enemy's "Supreme Domain" effect.
Rating: 30,000 points (Cycle Rank equipment rating is 15,000 to 30,000 points).
Description: Dead Silence, descend!
Sale Price: Cannot be sold.

For this promotion to "Supreme Peak," Su Xiao had chosen both when it came to the choice between "Domain System" and "Extreme System."
