Chapter 4: Heading to the Abyss, Slaying the Strongest Abyss Lord in Star Realm History.
With these achievements combined, the 10.547 billion merit points were not at all unreasonable. However, there was now an absurd problem: Su Xiao's Void Tree Reputation was -? points, preventing him from activating the Void Tree's Merit Shop.
After Su Xiao slew the Abyss Lord and the settlement for this Abyss Campaign concluded, his Void Tree Reputation would certainly reach a very high level. The issue was, by then, the merit points would have been cleared—this was the exclusive settlement benefit of this Abyss Campaign.
Su Xiao was not concerned about this. He and Kaisa had long conspired, and the fact that the [Abyss Vault Key] he obtained had become invalid indicated that Kaisa's goal had been achieved.
The content of their conspiracy was: before the settlement of this campaign ended, to pull off something big—that is, to super-double the returns corresponding to these 10.547 billion merit points. As for how negative the Void Tree Reputation would become, that was unimportant.
To contend with the Supreme Being, a massive amount of resources was inevitably needed to enhance the Supreme Attributes. This merit point gain was one of the key parts.
[Tip: Campaign Mission: Perfect Finale has been completed.]
[You have obtained "Resource Conversion Device".]
[You have selected the certifier for this "Resource Conversion Device". The current certifier is Reincarnation Paradise.]
[This "Resource Conversion Device" is unique, a derivative of the "Initial Clause", possessing absolute uniqueness. You are the sole user of this "Resource Conversion Device". The Paradise faction certifying this device can derive 3 to 5 types of unique "Paradise Infrastructure" through its certification.]
...
A metal door appeared on the eastern wall. The "Resource Conversion Device" was too massive—over ten thousand times larger than Su Xiao's Exclusive Room—so it was currently attached externally to his room. Prolonged exposure would inevitably damage the device, but the Void Tree was only responsible for issuing this reward, not for its long-term operation.
The metal door vanished the next second, the wall smoothed over, and a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[The "Resource Conversion Device" has been received and properly installed. While you are within Reincarnation Paradise, you can activate this device at any time for resource conversion.]
[Because you have brought the certification rights for the "Resource Conversion Device" to Reincarnation Paradise, you have obtained the special permission benefit "Evaluative Submission".]
[Evaluative Submission (Special Permission): You may submit one or more items to Reincarnation Paradise. Based on the long-term value of these items, Reincarnation Paradise will grant you a one-time amount of general resources.]
...
Su Xiao examined the function of the "Resource Conversion Device" and found it to be an extremely powerful device. It could even "convert" various items into a corresponding amount of Space-Time Power based on their causal strength. This suddenly gave Su Xiao... a particularly bold idea.
[You have submitted the bounty "Abyss Lord".]
[The Abyss Lord is the final bounty content of the "Hunt List: Blood Pact". You will receive the final bounty reward of the "Hunt List: Blood Pact".]
[You have obtained Complete Space-Time Stones × 350.]
[You have obtained Ember Core (When enhancing equipment, allows equipment that has already reached its maximum enhancement to gain an additional +1 enhancement level).]
[You have obtained Bounty Gold Coin × 1 (Souvenir: No use).]
...
Su Xiao stored away all the obtained resources. He entered a quiet room. Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beini followed, carrying various emergency awakening devices. Yes, Su Xiao was about to awaken the talent ability of the Shadow of Law Destruction to its extreme.
Inside the quiet room, Su Xiao opened his task list and selected a task to submit.
[You have submitted Limit Sublimation: Shadow Hunt (Shadow of Law Destruction Exclusive Task).]
[Your Law Destruction Talent: Shadow Hunt will undergo "Limit Sublimation".]
A vast power appeared. The next moment, Su Xiao, who had grown strong enough to defeat the Abyss Lord, was immediately sent into slumber.
When he awoke, it was already the next morning. He rose from the metal pool filled with healing secret medicines. While washing off the sticky healing liquid in the adjacent bathroom, he checked his Law Destruction talent after the "Limit Sublimation".

Seeing the current effect of [Shadow Hunt], Su Xiao's chances of defeating the Supreme Being increased from a 30% win rate to 40%.
However, before pushing his own limits to the extreme, there was one thing he needed to do: visit the "Merchant Alliance". As for the "Merchant Alliance" hiding, let them hide. As long as they hadn't fled into the Chaos Domain, Su Xiao could drag these bastards out.
Su Xiao took out the [Malicious Fortune Teller]. This item appeared as a divination card. On the card was a beautiful fortune teller with an air of nobility, light purple eyeshadow, and a cold expression. Because he had used the "Malicious Fortune Teller" once before, he was about to "format" it, only to find that the "Malicious Fortune Teller" looked at him with a gaze that was unfamiliar and tinged with confusion. Had this divination oddity formatted itself?
Had the "Malicious Fortune Teller" really formatted itself? Of course not. The first time the "Malicious Fortune Teller" was sealed into the "Book of Original Sin", it nearly cracked apart but ultimately held on. As for the apparent "formatting," it was all an act.
The "Malicious Fortune Teller" was unwilling to assist Su Xiao. The problem was that being sealed inside the "Book of Original Sin" was too terrifying. Thus, both parties tacitly agreed on the setting that the "Malicious Fortune Teller" would format itself.
That said, the "Malicious Fortune Teller" had indeed helped quite a bit, even if this divination oddity had poor character.
If the "Malicious Fortune Teller" knew of this assessment, it would surely gnash its teeth in anger. It simply refused to submit to a Law Destroyer with terrifying blood energy—how was that poor character?
"Complete this divination, and I'll let you go."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the "Malicious Fortune Teller," which was putting on an act, nearly broke character on the spot. What now? Even if it agreed to help with the divination, it would still be sealed in the "Book of Original Sin" and "formatted"? The "Malicious Fortune Teller" genuinely almost cracked this time.
"I really will let you go."
Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder and spoke. Hearing this, the "Malicious Fortune Teller"—which couldn't speak—would have cursed fiercely if it could.
"My boss guarantees it on his personal honor."
Hearing Baha's words, the "Malicious Fortune Teller's" gaze changed. This made Su Xiao suspicious. This divination oddity actually knew that Law Destroyers guaranteed things on personal honor. Suddenly thinking of a possibility, he said:
"If you're willing, I can send you to Green Gillian."
At these words, the "Malicious Fortune Teller" emitted intense fluctuations in its aura. Well, case closed. The "Malicious Fortune Teller" hated Su Xiao, but it seemed it wasn't just because of his negative Charm Attribute. Rather, this divination oddity had once been obtained by Green Gillian, so it fairly hated all Law Destroyers.
