Chapter 23: Theft and Choice
The five consecutive victories on their side brought a brief intermission to the Abyss battle. For their side, this was definitely an advantage. Not only did it allow the Void combatants who had been fighting bitterly until now to rest and regroup, but the Mother Nest's fungal carpet also began to spread across the battlefield, extending all the way to the transition zone and even climbing several meters up the boundary walls.
Inside the base camp, all combatants had gathered. Since the battle had reached the second stage, the notarization on the second floor of the base camp was fully activated. Multiple teleportation portals were opened here, some connecting to the Attribute Enhancement Hall, some to the Equipment Enhancement Hall, and even one connecting to the Great Gathering Place. Walking through these portals, there was no sensation of teleportation before arriving at the destination.
Because of this, the combatants in front of the portals were an endless stream, all exchanging their merits for various resources to strengthen themselves and then going to improve. Su Xiao walked into the huge teleportation portal with a sky-blue 「」 mark at the top. The smell of blood around him dissipated, and he arrived at the somewhat familiar Equipment Enhancement Hall of the Apocalypse Paradise.
There were quite a few people in the Equipment Enhancement Hall. Enhancing equipment was one of the fastest and most intuitive ways to increase combat power. As for why Su Xiao had only been enhancing his weapon all along, as a Technique Grandmaster, he naturally prioritized killing and offense. Well, the truth was that for a Technique Grandmaster, enhancing the weapon was the limit of what his resources in this area could support. Enhancing armor, rings, and a large number of other items was truly unaffordable.
[Welcome to Equipment Enhancement Machine No. 11509.]
The tray of the enhancement machine extended. Su Xiao placed the Dragon-Slaying Flash on it. The metal tray retracted, and a prompt appeared.
[Equipment inspection complete. Dragon-Slaying Flash (Reincarnation Rank) requires the consumption of 1 Primordial Core for enhancement to +21.]
He took out the [Supreme Enhancement Stone], pressed it into the slot of the enhancement machine, then retrieved [Fate Reversal] and activated 「Luck Force」.
[Proceed with this enhancement?]
[Enhancing...]
[Dragon-Slaying Flash +22 successful.]
[The current success rate has accumulated to 49%. Proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one 「Primordial Core」 to proceed with this enhancement.]
Seeing this result, Su Xiao took out another [Supreme Enhancement Stone].
[Dragon-Slaying Flash +23 successful.]
[The current success rate has accumulated to 72%. Proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one 「Primordial Core」 to proceed with this enhancement.]
Not stable enough. Even with the use of 「Fate Reversal」, Su Xiao was still not prepared to enhance the Dragon-Slaying Flash when the success rate was below 90%. Therefore, he used the third [Supreme Enhancement Stone] to ensure the next enhancement was one hundred percent successful.
[Dragon-Slaying Flash +24 successful.]
[The current success rate has accumulated to 1.5%. Proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one 「Primordial Core」 to proceed with this enhancement.]
It could only be said that after using the [Supreme Enhancement Stone], the accumulation of this success rate was very erratic. After all, it was a 100% success rate, different from the accumulated success rate of conventional enhancements. He took out the last [Supreme Enhancement Stone].
[Dragon-Slaying Flash +25 successful.]
[The current success rate has accumulated to 89.9%. Proceed with consecutive enhancement? You need to use one 「Primordial Core」 to proceed with this enhancement.]
A choice that made one's heart struggle. The problem was that once it failed, the enhancement level of the Dragon-Slaying Flash would be reset to zero on the spot. The sharpness of the Dragon-Slaying Flash, which had reached 160,000, would immediately drop to over 6,000 points. This was the charm and risk of enhancement. Currently, with the Dragon-Slaying Flash at +25, once it was raised to +26, it would immediately increase by 41,017 points of sharpness.

...
The strongest Reincarnation Rank equipment appeared. The tray of the enhancement machine extended. Su Xiao took the Dragon-Slaying Flash and sheathed it, while also closing a series of warnings from the Apocalypse Paradise. As for why he was warned, perhaps it was because he had killed too many Apocalypse Paradise contractors in the past. As for the recent operation here? There was no need to mind such trivial details.
Walking towards the exit portal of the enhancement hall, as soon as he returned to the base camp, he received a message. Checking it, he found it was sent by the Logistics Chief, Tailier. The content was a summons for all Supreme Peaks to the Council Hall for a strategic meeting.
Su Xiao arrived at the second underground floor of the base camp. As soon as he entered the Council Hall, he saw groups of people, either whispering in discussion or chatting and laughing about something. The entire Council Hall could be divided into two parts: the main seats on both sides of the long Council Table, and the rows of tiered seats on the outside.
Led by Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, Beini, and Jila successfully took their seats in the last row of the tiered seats, and in a relatively corner position. Ask, what should one do during a Council? Small-scale Councils were generally very important, requiring one to sit in the main seat to fight for interests. This kind of Council, which gathered 99% of the Star Realm's Supreme Peaks, had a large number of people. For a Council of this scale, finding a corner seat to take a nap was a good strategy.
After a while, Amu took out a super-large bag of chips over a meter high. Amidst the crunching sounds of Bubu Wang, Amu, and Jila eating, Su Xiao, using Baha's scarf as an eye mask, soon emitted a faint, even snore.
Half an hour later, the Council began. The Leader at the first seat stood up to speak. Although it was all formalities, he just made a gesture and then got straight to the point. Baha, beside Su Xiao, listened more and more, feeling something was wrong. The Leader at the first seat stopped mid-sentence and asked the Logistics Chief, Tailier, who was next to him:
"Has Bai Ye not come yet?"
"That shouldn't be. Red Count said he saw him come in."
Hearing this, the Leader immediately knew what was going on. Of course, he couldn't spread his perception in this kind of occasion. Looking around, he immediately saw the row of seats in the corner, where someone was leaning back, sleeping soundly. Wasn't this the person he was looking for?
A moment later, Su Xiao, who had just woken up and was a bit dazed, sat in the main seat next to the Leader. The Leader had been speaking for a while beside him. Although he understood, he was still very sleepy. This was caused by the impending awakening of the ability corresponding to the 100-point Supreme Attribute. His sleepy expression made the Sun, Saisi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, twitch his mouth. He hadn't expected that this violent and murderous god of slaughter would usually have a somewhat casual feel.
"That's how it is. I won't say much more. I've bored everyone to sleep."
The Logistics Chief, Tailier, finished speaking and sat down. She immediately glared at the Leader. Weren't you supposed to say that your good friend would strongly support me? You two bastards, one was late, and the other arrived and found a place to take a nap. Two bastards! They were reliable when things happened, but couldn't they be a bit more reliable in normal times!
"Bai Ye."
When the Sacred Hymn, Samanya, proposed an opinion on the current 「Destruction of the Three Nodes」, the Leader spoke softly to Su Xiao.
"Hmm?"
Su Xiao responded without moving.
"What ability are you awakening? You're this sleepy."
The Leader could naturally see that his old friend was genuinely drowsy. Even his life force fluctuations showed a sense of laziness. However, the astonishing total amount of life force was not something that could be possessed by dozens or hundreds of life cores.
"Extreme Realm ability."
"Corresponding to how many Supreme Attributes?"
"100."
"Want to go rest for a while?"
"No need. I'll talk later."
"Then hold on."
The Leader finished speaking softly, then took over the topic from the Sun, Saisi, in the Council, and began to discuss the Council on closing the second Abyss Gate, which was to destroy the three nodes.
The three nodes were located in the Forgotten Land, the Black Abyss, and the Abyssal Dragon Bottom. Among them, the Black Abyss and the Abyssal Dragon Bottom were areas of the Void. The problem was that both places were occupied by the Abyss faction.
What was more troublesome was that these three nodes had to be destroyed simultaneously. If the destruction time differed by more than 5 seconds, it would trigger their resonance, causing the destroyed nodes to repair themselves.
Currently, the three nodes were in a state of power boiling, which would only gradually calm down after more than 70 hours. This was also the best time to destroy them. However, after the three nodes stabilized and resonated for a few days, the second Abyss Gate would complete its opening, meaning the number of Abyss legions on the Void battlefield would double.
Even worse, the resonance characteristics of the first and second Abyss Gates would cause the third Abyss Gate to open quickly. By then, the number of Abyss legions would increase further. With their current defensive strength, they would be doomed to lose.
Of course, they couldn't wait for more than 70 hours to destroy the 「Gate Nodes」. The Leader took out three items that looked like Rubik's Cubes, made of translucent crystal. This item was called the 「Time Position Interference Device」. There were three in total. They were the margin for error left over from destroying the 「Gate Nodes」 in the last Abyss battle.
It was true that their lineup this time was stronger, but that didn't mean there were no capable people in the last Abyss battle. Unfortunately, the violator who had originally created a total of six 「Time Position Interference Devices」 was already dead.
The plan this time was that, after 12 hours, a total of three teams would be dispatched to destroy the three 「Gate Nodes」 located in the Forgotten Land, the Black Abyss, and the Abyssal Dragon Bottom. Those three 「Gate Nodes」 would definitely be heavily guarded, and many Abyss descendants and ancient Abyss beings would be present to guard them.
The most ideal team configuration was: the Leader would be responsible for one, Su Xiao would be responsible for one, and the last one would be handled by dispatching 80% of their peak powerhouses.
Unfortunately, the Leader could not leave the base camp. Currently, the Abyss High Seat and their core Abyss Purification Device seemed to be thousands of miles apart, even not in the same world. However, the Lord of the Abyss, who controlled the Abyss High Seat, and the Leader, who controlled the core Abyss Purification Device, were facing each other from afar. If either side suddenly left the vicinity of the High Seat or the device, the other side would immediately detect it through the overall Abyss/Elemental changes in the Star Realm.
Not to mention, once the Leader left the base camp, he would be detected by the Lord of the Abyss, causing their surprise attack plan to fail. At that time, the Lord of the Abyss would personally descend to a random one of the three nodes. Therefore, keeping the Leader and the Lord of the Abyss in their current state of confrontation was the best choice.
This way, the strong teams going on the expedition would be: Su Xiao's team, and 80% of their peak powerhouses divided into two teams. One team would be led by the Sun, Saisi. This person was currently the strongest Death Ranger in the Death Paradise, and also the strongest Undead System in the entire Star Realm.
Originally, it was thought that Solomon's Undead System + Mage Lord + Technique Type was explosive enough. This person, however, was Undead System + Sun System. No matter how you looked at it, Undead System + Sun System was more powerful. The reason was that making all Undead summons undergo Sun explosions and have Sun characteristics was a feasible and powerful combination. But making all Undead summons have Technique abilities was a fantasy.
However, there was a huge gap in strength between Solomon and the Sun, Saisi. It was still unknown what level Solomon would reach in the future. Also, because he was too poor, he had almost given up on Technique abilities. Solomon's advantage was that after the enemy broke through his massive army of Undead summons, they would then face a Technique Type Mage Lord.
The captain of the other team was quite unexpected. He was a violator from the Dawn Paradise, named the Eternal One, Aqisi. More people called him the Causal Devourer. This person's experience was both legendary and inspiring.
Back when the Dawn Paradise was still competing with the Reincarnation Paradise, Aqisi was already a Ninth Rank violator. He had always adhered to one principle: he could lose, but he couldn't die. Also, his ability was that after killing someone, he would devour their cause and effect, strengthening his own power while also greatly increasing his lifespan.
Therefore, even if someone could fight better than him, they definitely couldn't outlive him. After the Dawn Paradise went silent, Aqisi survived the Paradise war between Reincarnation and Dawn using his super strong survival skills and his top-tier predictive ability for danger in the Star Realm.
The Leader knew about this Supreme, but he didn't pursue him afterwards. The reason was that it was meaningless. This guy was both hard to kill and not very dangerous. As long as it didn't involve his life, this person would find a place to enjoy life peacefully.
Aqisi was greedy for life, greedy for money, lustful, gluttonous, and alcoholic. He also frequented the major luxury gambling cities of the Star Realm. The evaluation of this person was that although his character was despicable, he was indeed a carefree person in life.
What outsiders didn't know was that Aqisi's power never stopped growing. Whenever a Supreme died, he could faintly sense it. He would later go there quietly and devour the fading remnants of that Supreme's cause and effect.
When the Dawn Paradise revived, Aqisi received a forced summons. He immediately refused the corresponding authority to become one of the representative figures of the violators. His limit was to accept being ranked second, preferably third. As for being ranked first, he absolutely would not accept it. Moreover, since the Priest was indeed strange, Aqisi didn't want to and wasn't willing to compete with him. He even refused to meet the Priest.
Aqisi didn't think he had the intelligence of a super old silver coin, but he had been schemed against by quite a few old silver coins. His conclusion was that as long as he hid to the extreme, no one could scheme against him.
The revival of Dawn naturally brought Aqisi many benefits. Having already accumulated to the extreme at the Supreme level, Aqisi quickly advanced to Supreme Peak. However, this cut off his path of improvement. How many years had it been since a Supreme Peak had died?
It wasn't until recently that Aqisi went to the collapsing Doom Star and the collapsing Arcane Eternal Star. Regarding this, Aqisi had considered whether to actively give that Hunter some compensation to build a good relationship, since these two great opportunities were created by that Hunter. Later, he thought, forget it. What if that powerful Hunter slashed at him? The sky would fall that day.
Just as Aqisi was preparing to continue his former life, the Abyss battle broke out. Regarding this, Aqisi was prepared to contribute but not to stand out. He would follow behind and get through this calamity. At most, he would be among the last batch to enter the notarized shelter zone of the Void Tree.
He was confident that he could keep hiding in the shelter zone, hiding until the Abyss era ended, the Star Realm began a new era of life, and the civilization of the new era gradually flourished. Then he would come out and enjoy himself.
Aqisi's motto was one sentence: I may not be the best fighter, but I can be the best survivor. As long as my lifespan is longer than the calamity, the calamity is just a dark time in my life.
But after hearing a piece of news, Aqisi's eyes widened. The Lord of the Abyss of this generation was the strongest Lord of the Abyss. He wanted to destroy the exterior of the Star Realm and plunge the Star Realm into an eternal Abyss era. Also, the shelter zone of the Void Tree had not yet been repaired, so they couldn't enter the shelter zone.
Aqisi immediately chose to step forward, and completely changed his previous super survival style. He was now, because he wanted to live too much, he took out all his accumulated strength. He accidentally became one of the representative figures on the Dawn Paradise side. Moreover, after the Abyss battle began, he could devour more peak cause and effect.
Because he had performed too bravely on the Void battlefield before, Aqisi became the captain of the third team. This guy, who loved his life to the extreme, would bet everything to complete the destruction of the 「Gate Nodes」. Once the three Abyss Gates opened, it would truly be impossible to fight.
The three teams were divided, but which 「Gate Node」 each team would be responsible for became a problem. The Forgotten Land was the lowest risk among the three 「Gate Nodes」. In contrast, the Black Abyss and the Abyssal Dragon Bottom, which were in enemy-occupied territory, were both very dangerous. Especially the Abyssal Dragon Bottom, which was the former lair of the Abyssal Dragon.
Although none of the three teams feared danger, with the same contribution, they would all prefer to face lower risks. There was only one life. In the Abyss battle, the Peak Realm was truly dying, not like before, where both sides fought for decades with many casualties, but the Peak Realm on both sides didn't risk their lives.
"Let's draw lots."
The Eternal One, Aqisi, suggested. Everyone present agreed.
"You draw."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, everyone showed a hint of joy in their eyes. This Hunter's attitude meant that he would let the other two teams choose first among the three 「Gate Nodes」, and he would be responsible for the most dangerous one. Having such a confident and powerful teammate made everyone present feel a bit more at ease.
The final result was that the Sun Team was responsible for the 「Gate Node」 in the Forgotten Land, the Eternal Team was responsible for the 「Gate Node」 in the Black Abyss, and the Bai Ye Team was responsible for the 「Gate Node」 in the Abyssal Dragon Bottom. The operation would begin in 12 hours.
Just as the Council was about to end, the Logistics Chief, Tailier, stood up and said, "Everyone, there's another matter I need to discuss with you. And this matter... is ve-ry se-ri-ous."
The Logistics Chief, Tailier, spoke the last words one by one, her gaze fixed on a group of violators led by the Eternal One, Aqisi. This left the violators baffled. It was worth mentioning that the Clock Tower Master of the Soul Faction, Xilgefu, who had been hostile in the World of Gods before, was now also among the violators.
"What's the matter?"
Heiqixing from the Apocalypse Paradise spoke. Regarding his big sister's statement, the usually listless Heiqixing showed a serious expression. Among the powerhouses of the Apocalypse Paradise, who hadn't received favors from this big sister?
"Recently, due to unknown reasons, the storage of Space-Time Power in the Apocalypse Paradise has fluctuated, plummeting by tens of millions! And when I inquired about the relevant situation, I was restricted by permissions, and it was a double permission restriction. Everyone should be clear that if the duration of this battle is prolonged, our base camp's current reserve of Space-Time Power will be insufficient. I will apply for resource replenishment from the Apocalypse Paradise. Now, some force, or some guy, actually dares to do this."
The Logistics Chief, Tailier, slammed her hand on the table with a bang at the end. Everyone was surprised by her high level of authority within the Apocalypse Paradise faction, being able to inquire about the Paradise's Space-Time Power reserves. Although this was one hundred percent due to the special notarization of the current Abyss battle and her notarized identity as the Logistics Chief, it was still somewhat incredible.
But thinking that the Logistics Chief, Tailier, had participated in the last Abyss battle like the Leader and survived, having such an absurdly high level of authority wasn't too absurd. Moreover, the theft of tens of millions of Space-Time Power from the Apocalypse Paradise this time caused an uproar among those present. The amount was indeed too shocking.
The Logistics Chief, Tailier, simply refused to stop until she shocked everyone. She said angrily, "A full 50 million units of Space-Time Power!"
After speaking, the Logistics Chief, Tailier, looked at the group of violators again. Seeing this, the Eternal One, Aqisi, was so angry that his cheeks trembled. He was about to say, "Why are you suspecting us?" But he immediately thought of what the violators had been doing all along, and his heart suddenly felt weak. His thoughts immediately turned to: 'Which violator did this? Is he crazy?'
As for why they were suspected, why wouldn't they be? It wasn't a matter of the violators having a bad reputation. If something like this happened and the violators weren't the first to be suspected, it would be an insult to the violators present.
Su Xiao, who had been somewhat sleepy, immediately lost some of his drowsiness upon hearing that the Apocalypse Paradise's stock of Space-Time Power had been stolen. No one would refuse to watch a good show. But the more he listened to Tailier's words, the more Su Xiao felt something was wrong. When he heard the phrase "a full 50 million units of Space-Time Power," he was no longer sleepy at all.
Su Xiao had already solved the case. He had previously used the 「Apocalypse Paradise Highest Authority」, which he had won from the Wind Sea battle, on his 「Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Pod」. This made the enhancement cost of the 「Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Pod」 permanently fixed at 350,000 ounces of Space-Time Power per 1 Supreme Attribute point. No matter how much Space-Time Power was lacking afterwards, it would be compensated by the Apocalypse Paradise.
Previously, he had increased all his Supreme Attributes by 24 points. He himself paid 33.6 million ounces of Space-Time Power. According to his rough calculation, the Apocalypse Paradise probably compensated about 48 million ounces of Space-Time Power.
Given the huge amount of 50 million ounces that Tailier personally mentioned, well, to be honest, the estimate of 48 million this time was quite accurate.
The people in the Council Hall were discussing animatedly. Among them, of course, there were those skilled in reasoning. The more they reasoned, the more guilty the violator brothers present became. Su Xiao remained calm and composed. At that moment, he actually received a message from the Leader beside him, and it was a friend chat between Reincarnation brands.
Leader: "Did you do it?"
Bai Ye: "No."
Leader: "What ability did you enhance? It consumed tens of millions of Space-Time Power at once?"
Bai Ye: "Supreme Attributes."
Leader: "Oh~, it was my oversight. It was that unique Exclusive Attribute Enhancement Pod. How many Supreme Attributes did you increase at once to be this expensive?"
Bai Ye: "24 points."
Leader: "The cost-effectiveness isn't high."
Bai Ye: "24 points on all attributes."
Leader: "Bai Ye, tell me, can one still switch to the Extreme Realm system after reaching the Supreme Realm?"
...
Su Xiao didn't speak. And so, the two Hunters, one in the first seat and the other in the second seat, both sat steadily without moving. The Battle Angel in the third seat was angrily denouncing the true culprit. The violator, the Eternal One, Aqisi, in the eighth seat, began to sweat on his forehead.
Finally, everyone decided that Hunters were the best at investigating such matters. Moreover, Su Xiao was the captain of the reinforcement team and didn't have any defensive lines to hold. This matter was happily decided. The "theft case" of the Apocalypse Paradise's Space-Time Power would be investigated by Su Xiao.
This decision was approved by most of the people present. Su Xiao and the Leader both accepted the proposal. The angry-looking Tailier sat down. As soon as she sat down, she turned her head to look at the two calm and composed people beside her. Suddenly, she had an intuition. These two guys gave her the feeling that one was an insider, and the other was the culprit!
After the Council ended, Su Xiao went to his Lounge on the upper floor of the base camp. Just as he lay down to sleep for a while, he felt a surge of agitation coming from his storage space. He took out an item. It was the 「Origin Stone: World」, which had fully revealed its true form after his promotion to the Supreme Realm.
[Origin Stone: World]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise (determined by the location at the time of synthesis).

Description: You are the 「Chosen」, and the only one.
Sale Price: Not for sale, not tradable, not transferable. Upon your death, this 「Origin Stone」 will shatter into five pieces, scattering to random areas of the Star Realm.
...
Su Xiao activated the 「Origin Stone: World」 in his hand. Already drowsy, he immediately fell into a deep sleep due to this enhancement.
Ten hours later, Su Xiao opened his eyes. This time, when he woke up, he didn't have the usual momentary confusion. Instead, he felt exceptionally energetic. Checking the first few of a series of prompts, they were:
[Extreme Realm: Star Realm ability has completed this enhancement. Enhancement magnitude: four times.]
[Extreme Realm: Star Realm: Lv.MAX++++++++ (Transcendent Level · Active/Passive)]
Active Effect: You fully release your might as a Technique Grandmaster, affecting the Star Realm's operation within a range of 500,000 meters around you (increased by 450,000 meters), causing this area to enter a 「Star Realm Stasis」 state for 10 seconds (due to the Extreme Realm: Star Realm not obtaining an advancement, this is the current maximum achievable duration).
Prompt: Due to your further mastery of the 「Extreme Realm: Star Realm」 with your 「own characteristics」, you can now freely enable/disable the 「Extreme Realm: Star Realm」, and can even briefly enable the 「Extreme Realm: Star Realm」 for a minimum of 1 second.

Passive Effect: You have gained further insight into the Star Realm, mastering the 「One of the High-Level Rules of the Star Realm: Rhythm of Life」. When all your life cores are shattered and you face death, you will draw upon a large amount of 「Star Realm Origin Power」 to resist this death. You will 100% resist this death, gain a 「Invincible State」 lasting 5 seconds (increased by 2 seconds), and immediately recover 47% of your current life cores.
Prompt: This ability can be activated in any environment. Even if you are in an Abyss/Elemental environment, or even a Chaos environment, you can still trigger this characteristic.
Prompt: This effect has a long cooldown time, determined by the volume of your Primordial Life Force.
...
[Your 「Extreme Realm: Star Realm」 ability has reached its maximum duration, which is 10 seconds. You can make a fateful choice, which is the continued advancement choice for the 「Extreme Realm: Star Realm」 ability. You can choose one of the following three characteristics.]
