# Chapter 4: Ensure That Your "Life Core" Condenses 8 or More Cores (The More Life Cores Condensed, the Lower the Risk of Advancing to the Supreme Realm, Because He Learned the Secret Through the Group Leader: The Life Cores Shattered During the Advancement to the Supreme Realm Are Permanently Shattered. In Contrast, This Means That the Originally Fatal Advancement Deadlock Is Broken at the Cost of Permanently Consuming One Life Core, and the Advancement Process Will Not Be Interrupted.)
...
Although the goals seem few, they are all difficult. Su Xiao checks his current status:
Supreme Health: 100% (50 million points).
Life Core: 4/4 Cores.
Supreme Mana: 30 million points.
Supreme Strength: 500 points.
Supreme Agility: 500 points.
Supreme Stamina: 500 points.
Supreme Intelligence: 500 points.
True Charm: -39 points (-3 points).
True Luck Attribute: 24 points (-2 points).
Abyss Resistance: 385 points.
Fortune: -13 million points.
Lightning Resistance: 6000 points (This attribute has reached maximum value).
Elemental Affinity: 9982 points.
...
Why is the Elemental Affinity so absurdly high? It's because one of the bonuses of the "Supreme Intelligence" ability is:
"Skill Effect 4: For every 1 point of Supreme Intelligence attribute increased, permanently increase Elemental Affinity by 30 points."
Su Xiao used "Exclusive Attribute: Grant" to have Supreme Intelligence boost "Lightning Resistance" to its maximum. Just when he thought he could be unharmed within the World Lightning, his Elemental Affinity skyrocketed to nearly ten thousand. With this level of Elemental Affinity attracting World Lightning, the power...
Normally, the stronger the ability, the happier the user. But Su Xiao's World Lightning ability is somewhat special. He controls lightning in a jaw-dropping manner: the World Lightning strikes down, the enemy dies while he remains unharmed.
Just as Su Xiao was pondering this, a sound of breaking wind came.
Boom!
Su Xiao vanished from his spot. With his speed fully unleashed, he appeared in an instant on the roof of the tallest building in Sanctuary City. A falling dark spear was shattered by his blade.
Black metal fragments scattered down. Among them, Su Xiao saw a barrel-shaped, finger-thick crystal pillar. With a sizzling sound, the Spirit Shadow Thread retracted, and he pulled the object into his hand.
Landing on the top of the teleportation tower, he examined the black barrel in his hand and found it could be opened.
Crack, crack, crack~
His right hand covered with a crystal layer, he pulled open the seal and poured out a rolled-up black letter. Opening it, the contents were childish Void Script, reading:
'Cooperate.'
The signature was Di Luo.
Seeing this message, Su Xiao was secretly surprised. It seemed that the Crimson Red Beast was only seemingly reckless; he had quickly figured out the situation in this world.
After the "Abyss Eye Ritual" was activated, it entered the stage where the "Ritual Container" was filled with the Source Blood of peak powerhouses.
Under what circumstances would the Source Blood of a peak powerhouse scatter and be absorbed by the "Ritual Container"? Of course, when they fall. Although the Abyss Descendants can revive infinitely, this does not consume their own Dark Source Blood.
To put it more clearly, "Source Blood" is just a description. It encompasses a peak powerhouse's existence, causality, fate, and everything related.
After the Crimson Red Beast, Di Luo, detected the situation in this world, the partner he chose to cooperate with was not the Soul Lord of Arcane Eternal Star, nor the Underworld God, but Su Xiao, whom he had already fought twice.
This was quite thought-provoking. According to Su Xiao's understanding, the four major Abyss Descendants—Azguk, Rune, Bronze, and Collective—would largely obey the current Lord of the Abyss. As for Dukain, they wanted to obey, but unfortunately, the Lord of the Abyss ignored them.
Su Xiao and the Lord of the Abyss had a clear opposing relationship. Yet the Crimson Red Beast, Di Luo, came to Su Xiao for cooperation. This Fourth Seat of the Rune Family—who would believe he didn't want to become the next Lord of the Abyss?
Furthermore, the Crimson Red Beast, Di Luo, sought cooperation with Su Xiao for another reason: in his plan, this would be a three-way cooperation, with members being: Su Xiao, Di Luo, and the Deer God.
Compared to the deceit and scheming of cooperating with others, the Crimson Red Beast, Di Luo, preferred to cooperate with two Supreme Peak powerhouses he had fought against. Others might deceive, but fighting styles wouldn't. Di Luo could be certain that as long as a genuine cooperation was reached, these two seemingly former adversaries would be reliable allies until the last enemy fell.
That's right. If these three successfully joined forces, the other peak powerhouses in this world wouldn't exactly see darkness before their eyes, but they would definitely have their eyelids twitching. These three might not have the deepest foundations, but when it came to combat capability, any one of them was extremely formidable. As for the three of them ganging up on a single peak powerhouse... that scene...

# Regarding Combat Power Setting Issues, and Some Personal Thoughts
Recently, I've seen many readers saying that there are issues with the combat power settings. I carefully studied it, and indeed, there are problems.
Actually, the core issue is that this novel is simply too long. I never thought I would write this much. I underestimated the length of my story and overestimated my ability to control the later stages over such a long span. However, I will definitely do my best.
Also, after being sick and taking a break for over a year, when I resumed updating, my CPU was severely overloaded. I wrote quite a few erroneous settings. After being criticized by you readers, I quickly made corrections. I thank you readers for your valuable opinions. If you didn't truly like this book, upon seeing setting issues, you would have just deleted the book and dropped it, not given me suggestions or even angrily cursed.
Regarding the combat power, let me explain to you readers: The Supreme Being is the strongest. This was set up before. He isn't even from the ancient era; he's from much, much earlier (no other spoilers).
If Su Xiao advanced conventionally, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Supreme Being. You readers are right about that.
So, I set it up so that whatever level the Supreme Being reached, Su Xiao would reach the same level. The final boss can do it, and Su Xiao can too. That's roughly the setting.
Current combat power is as follows:
Almost Invincible: The Supreme Being (Patch 2: Although invincible, the setting is that his causal fate is eroded by the long passage of time, so he needs to seize the causal fate of the same level).
T0 Tier: The Group Leader, the Current Lord of the Abyss.
The next tier down is the Supreme Peak, such as the Underworld God, the Immortal Old Man, the Abyssal Dragon, Full-Health Uninjured White Bull (I didn't set White Bull well. As I wrote, I gave White Bull a kind of Absolute Strength style. Also, I myself forgot the setting of Full-Health White Bull and fell into this style. This is indeed worthy of criticism. Initially, I set him to be severely injured fighting the Abyssal Dragon to elevate him, but I didn't write it well later. I admit this).
Regarding the controversial White Bull, this character appeared relatively early. Because he spans a huge length of the story, there are many problems. I tend to have issues writing this type of character because, after such a long span, I easily forget things. But no matter how much I say, this is indeed my problem. I must admit this. As for the character White Bull, please wait for my future patches, dear readers.
Counting this world's progress, plus the subsequent Abyss Invasion, Reincarnation Paradise is entering its final stages. If I write any other setting issues during this period, please point them out, dear readers. I will quickly correct them. If I write setting problems, I deserve to be scolded. Please forgive me, dear readers.
In short, going forward, I will adhere to one principle: Correct if wrong, encourage if right.
