Chapter 368 Conflict, collision, reorganization and fusion!

"Professions have their own characteristics. To put it romantically, professions have souls."

“This is my original intention when designing the profession, and it is also one of the underlying logics I implanted into the Ember system.”

When the prompt sounded, the voice of the Demon Emperor also sounded along with it.

His voice was calm, as if he was telling a story, which was also a kind of alternative literacy for Xia Lin.

"As I said before, the two professions of Uncertain Shadow and Pillar of Eternity are completely contradictory in terms of their concepts. Therefore, this first round of professional conflict is the price you must pay."

"But, because your main profession is the Uncertain Shadow, and the Uncertain Shadow represents chaos and the unknown...so I don't know what the result of the professional conflict will be. This is also the first point I want to see from you."

As the Demon Emperor said this, his tone changed and he seemed to be interested.

"Actually, if you look at it this way, the Uncertain Shadow profession has more unknowns and possibilities than I expected."

Just as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the reminder sound of the Cinder area sounded again.

【Balance ends! 】

[Because your two professions conflict with each other, your racial values ​​and attributes are permanently reduced by 20%! ]

The pain gradually disappeared and Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not just because the pain in his soul has been reduced, but also because Xia Lin can bear this result and it's not a big problem.

Open the property panel and look at its own properties.

Racial value reduced from 10856 to 8685.

Attributes decreased from 203.5y to 162.8y.

Multiplying the two, the loss is even close to one third!

But the problem is, with the Life and Death Battle (inferior) in hand, it won't take Xia Lin long to regain these attributes! Yes, the cost of reduced attributes is not a cost at all in Xia Lin's eyes.

Because for him now, breaking the limit is too easy.

"But this is not the end, the funnier things are yet to come."

The Demon Emperor sat on the sofa and made himself a glass of red wine. He shook the glass and looked at Xia Lin with a smile.

There seemed to be a halo of light shining in those black eyes, and they could easily see through Xia Lin's appearance and penetrate into Xia Lin's soul! "The decrease in attributes is due to the temporary incompatibility between the soul and the body caused by the soul mutation... A mere 20% weakening of attributes is not worth mentioning."

From the perspective of the Demon Emperor, Xia Lin had just been split into two halves, but had healed and reunited into one soul, with a clear distinction! One half was flashing with a chaotic color, representing an uncertain shadow.

The other half, however, is as crystal clear as a diamond, hard and solid, representing the Pillar of Eternity.

Soon, two completely different colors began to merge.

He said slowly.

“That’s when professional conflict begins.”

Just as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, more prompts came one after another! [Due to the conflict between your two professions, your soul inevitably has gaps and loopholes, which will cause your defense ability against soul attacks to be greatly reduced! The effect of soul attack skills on you is greatly improved, and the natural judgment level is +3! ]

This is troublesome! Because this price is equivalent to creating a fatal weakness for Xia Lin!

Xia Lin felt a little numb for a moment...

Suddenly, the voice of the Demon Emperor rang in his ears.

"Soul body loophole? Oh, isn't this a coincidence?"

Standing in front of Xia Lin was one of the six pillars, the Soul Controlling Demon Emperor, the number one soul master in the entire universe! Any soul problem was not a problem in front of the Demon Emperor.

As for the problem Xia Lin is facing right now, he doesn’t even need the Demon Emperor to take action himself.

He awakened Xia Lin with one sentence.

"This matter can be resolved through fair trade."

Xia Lin was stunned, and tried to follow the Demon Emperor's reminder and start a fair trade.

The shadow of the scale flashed by. The prompt sounded again.

[You used the power of fair trade to forcibly balance the loopholes in your soul! ]

[Soul attacks no longer have an effect on your judgment weighting! ]

So what is the cost?

Xia Lin opened the attribute panel and looked at his own attributes.

The price is one hundred million in total attributes...

Well, just drizzle.

At this point, the pain has completely dissipated.

Xia Lin looked up at the Demon Emperor and asked in confusion, "Does fair trade have this function?"

The Demon Emperor nodded: "Yes, of course."

"Because the foundation of this skill comes from one of my trump card abilities, it is absolutely balanced."

Xia Lin took a breath of cold air.

He really didn't expect that the origin of fair trade was so great!

Thinking of this, Xia Lin looked at the Demon Emperor with his burning eyes. The Demon Emperor saw through Xia Lin's thoughts at a glance, snorted and laughed, and then said: "Don't dream, you are not qualified to master the power of the six pillars. This fair trade may lead to further evolution, but you don't practice soul cultivation, so the rest depends on your subsequent opportunities."

Hearing this, Xia Lin immediately put away his greed.

First of all, the Demon Emperor is definitely not the kind of person who will give in just because you pester him and flatter him.

Secondly, more reminder sounds sounded again.

The balance of the two professions has not yet been completed! From the perspective of the Demon Emperor, with the burst of power from the fair trade, it opened a bridge of communication for Xia Lin's two halves of the soul and the two professions, creating a preliminary connection and allowing Xia Lin to pass the most dangerous and critical stage.

The light of chaos and stability began to merge and intertwine.

At the same time, the talents and skills of two different professions hidden deep in the two halves of the soul also came into contact for the first time.

Xia Lin could not sense anything.

The Demon Emperor knew all of this clearly.

When he saw the talents and skills of the two professions begin to intersect, the Demon Emperor was stunned at first, then he clapped his hands and laughed out loud.

"Interesting, this is interesting! This is what I want to see!!"

Just as the Demon Emperor was laughing heartily, a prompt sound exploded in Xia Lin's ears.

[The balance of dual-class professional talents begins. 】

[Your Uncertain Shadow occupation has been detected, and you have the following talents: Uncertain Constant, Unstable Mutation, and Twin Shadows. ]

[Your Pillar of Eternity class has been detected, and you have the following talent: Eternal Foundation. ]

[Testing... Balancing...]

This time the wait was a little long.

Xia Lin was worried and saw the Demon Emperor's smile, but he didn't understand what it meant.

The first thing to arrive is unstable mutation!

[Your professional talent has been detected: unstable mutation, which is your individual talent. This talent will not be negatively affected by the conflict between the two professions. On the contrary, it will undergo positive changes due to the dual professional talents! ]

The unstable mutation originally belonged to Xia Lin! He already had it before he changed his job to the Uncertain Shadow!

[Judgment in progress…]

【Judgment completed! 】

[Your talent is unstable and mutated, which can shake the skills in your second career column, and can also shake the skills in the permanent skill column! ]

Xia Lin didn't quite understand the significance of this change.

The Demon Emperor smiled and answered, "The Permanent Skill Bar. The word Permanent is not called that for nothing. The talent description says that under normal circumstances, the Permanent Skill Bar is the same as the regular skill bar, but it doesn't mention the Permanent Skill Bar. There is such a feature."

"The skills in the permanent skill column will not be shaken in any way, including random combinations and unstable mutations."

In other words, in theory, unstable mutations cannot be effective on skills in the permanent skill column.

But the problem is that unstable mutation is Xia Lin's own talent, and when he obtained the Pillar of Eternity profession, from Xia Lin's perspective, his individual talent surpassed his professional talent! Therefore, the effect of unstable mutation naturally crushed and covered the effect of the permanent skill column.

"This doesn't seem to make much sense..."

"Hey, you are wrong." The Demon Emperor was in a really good mood and talked more.

He shook his finger and said to Xia Lin, "This is of great significance! Because in essence, Unstable Mutation is still the professional talent of Uncertain Shadow. Now it is effective for the Permanent Skill Bar. Do you understand what this means?"

Xia Lin shook his head blankly, indicating that he did not understand. The Demon Emperor explained, "This means that you have taken the first step in the fusion of conflicting professions with the help of unstable mutation!"

This step is very small.

But it is a 0-1 change! No need for a bridge to the source, no need for many chances, many plans, and many coincidences.

Xia Lin, relying on his previous accumulation, had so easily completed the breakthrough from 0 to 1! From the perspective of the Demon Emperor, within Xia Lin's soul, the Light of Chaos and the Light of Eternity had already begun to merge.

This will not bring about a qualitative change, nor can it satisfy the needs of the Demon Emperor, and it is even far from enough.

But no matter what, this is always a good start! Just after the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the prompt sound rang again! The next thing that came was the dual-professional basic talents: Uncertain Constant and Eternal Foundation!

Xia Lin felt a slight pain.

However, the stinging sensation quickly disappeared.

[Your talents, indefinite constants and permanent foundations, have similar functions but conflicting professions, so their effects have been weakened...]

[Note: It has been detected that your dual professions have shown signs of fusion, and this balance is no longer effective! ]

No change! But no change is the best change!

The Demon Emperor's voice rang out again: "Originally, according to my estimation, both of your talents will be weakened. The number of indefinite constant skill bars will be reduced from 10 to 5, and the number of permanent foundation skill bars will be reduced from 3 to 1!"

"But with the unstable mutation as a foundation, promoting the initial integration of the two professions, this conflicting influence is no longer effective."

There are always chain reactions.

The current situation of being out of danger is a kind of chain reaction.

From the Demon Emperor's smile, we can tell that he had not anticipated this...but for Xia Lin, it was pure good news.

[Your talent, twin evil shadows, talent mutation! ]

Under Xia Lin's feet, the evil shadow twitched rapidly, as if it was undergoing drastic changes.

However, this change could not affect the main body, resulting in Xia Lin not noticing the changes in Erying at the first time. He could only open the personal information panel and look at the talent description of Twin Erying.

Soon, the old text was quickly distorted, and the new text came into view!

[Professional Talent 3: Twin Shadows (Racial Heritage Level Talent).]

[Twin Doom Shadows (Racial Heritage Level Talent): Your shadow is shaped into a carrier of conflict by the power of the Uncertain Shadow and the Pillar of Eternity! It has no self-awareness, is not alive, and cannot move on its own. Twin Doom Shadows have 8 skill slots and 10 debuff slots. You cannot directly use the skills in the Doom Shadow skill slot, but you can swap your skills with its skills at any time! Whenever you suffer negative effects due to dual-professional conflicts, the Doom Shadow will help you bear all the negative effects! But as a price, every time a negative effect takes effect, the level of this talent will be forcibly downgraded! ]

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xia Lin was stunned at first, but after a brief thought, he immediately took a deep breath! "Big profit!"

Yes, I made money this time! There are two changes.

First, the restrictions on the skill bar and buffs of the Shadow have been unlocked! Originally, the Shadow skill bar could only bear negative skills, but now it can bear all skills! This is equivalent to Xia Lin having 8 more spare skill slots! It's just not very convenient, and there's no way to use it directly. You need to adjust it yourself before the battle, but the advantage is that it speeds up the adjustment speed and saves the previous fair trade + recipe book commission consumption.

The changes in this area may seem small, but they are actually of great significance.

Because this changes the operating logic of Xia Lin's existing system - for example, the incredible brush combo.

Of course, this matter will be brought up later.

Now for the second change.

Erying's original ability to help Xia Lin share half of the damage is gone, which is a pure loss, but instead, Erying will help Xia Lin bear all the negative impacts caused by the professional conflict!

It is recorded in Qingjue's handwriting that the negative impacts of the conflict between the dual professional systems are numerous and strong, and as the level increases, the intensity of the conflict will gradually increase.

Don’t think that what Xia Lin is experiencing right now is all.

This is not all about dual-profession conflicts, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

But due to the mutation of Erying's talent, Xia Lin doesn't have to worry about the subsequent problems - things like a reduction in talent level, can't that be compensated by evolution points?

"Third, this is the third bridge for the integration of the two professions!"

The Demon Emperor smiled and told Xia Lin a third benefit that he had not expected.

"The first bridge is built by fair trade."

"The second bridge is built by unstable mutation."

"The third bridge will be created by the Twin Evil Shadow Talents."

As he spoke, the Demon Emperor's eyes lighted up slightly.

He also saw that the two parts of the soul, which should have been in complete conflict, actually felt like they were in perfect harmony!

Things were not what the Demon Emperor had expected! In his imagination, what should have been a very difficult matter became simple and easy because of these three bridges.

"Hmm... This situation is a bit surprising to me. I don't know if the special thing about this matter comes from you, Xia Lin, or from the dual professions of Uncertain Shadow and Eternal Pillar that I designed..."

What you learn from books is always superficial; plans cannot keep up with changes.

The Demon Emperor couldn't wait to find more samples.

But he calmed down and continued to look at Xia Lin.

Because the changes in Xia Lin are not over yet!

…

The general direction has actually been determined.

In the professional system, the purpose of the profession is the soul.

Professional talent is the root.

The souls of conflict have produced a preliminary fusion, and the roots of conflict are linked to each other, building a bridge.

This means that the attempt by the Demon Emperor and Xia Lin was successful and positive! Xia Lin's dual career path has a perfect start! The remaining changes are skills, but skills are external, branches, and appearances. The Demon Emperor doesn't care because it doesn't touch the root.

But he also knew that this was the most critical link that affected Xia Lin's combat effectiveness.

Today, the Demon Emperor was in a good mood and was happy to see with his own eyes what changes would occur in Xia Lin's two sets of professional related skills.

And the changes quickly appeared.

A large number of snowflake-like spots appeared out of nowhere on Xia Lin's personal information panel, causing the entire information panel to be blurred.

Prompt sounds rang in Xia Lin's ears one after another.

[Due to the conflict between the two professions, your skills: random combination, changes! ]

Random combination, the ultimate move of the Uncertain Shadow! However, the most affected by the dual-class system are also these professional skills that can become the core of the system! This is why there is a saying that the dual-class road is difficult to follow.

If the core skill of the system conflict is destroyed, the person will naturally be useless.

[Due to the conflict between the two professions, your random combination level has dropped sharply to S level, the level cap has been blocked, and you will never be able to advance. At the same time, the God-given source quality determination authority has expired. ]

Negative impact is coming...

This skill is ruined! [Twin Shadow Talent takes effect! You are exempt from this conflict, and the level of Twin Shadow is reduced to SSS! ]

Xia Lin said this is not okay...

I just used 10 evolution points to bring the Twin Shadows back to their level.

Just when Xia Lin thought that the random combination changes had ended, a new prompt sounded again! [Unstable mutation takes effect! ]

[Due to the conflict between the two professions and the influence of unstable mutation, the random combination produces unknown changes. Your skills are randomly combined and mutated into: ? ? ? ]

Xia Lin: ??? What do you mean by this???

The Jhin system seems to be working, sorting out the underlying logic of this unprecedented bizarre phenomenon.

The sorting was finished quickly.

The Jhin system changed the topic!

[? ? ? Prerequisite skills are required... The prerequisite skill components have been collected. ]

[Your skills and observations can be incorporated into the Pillars of Eternity career system. Yes/No? ]

Xia Lin didn't react for a moment, and unconsciously looked up at the Demon Emperor, then listened to the Demon Emperor speak slowly.

"Known, certain, this is omniscience. And omniscience requires witnessing, observation, and analysis."

"Hmm, I suddenly thought of the man named Junyou... This Pillar of Eternity profession seems to have something in common with the Observer."

The hint here is already too obvious!

Xia Lin took a deep breath and immediately washed away the two unimportant negative skills of Erying with a fair trade. Then he opened Erying's recipe book and bought back the other two skills of Junyou that came with the observation kit!

[Record (Racial Heritage Level): Passive skill, exclusive to observers, used in conjunction with observation. You can record everything you have seen (including but not limited to professions, talents, and skills) in your mind! When you face the professions, talents, and skills that you have recorded, you will gain advantages such as high damage reduction, additional judgments, etc....]

【Copy (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive skill for observers. Use with observation and recording. This skill is free of consumption, and you can use all the professions, talents, and skills you have observed and recorded! But every time you copy and use it, your observation record file will be cleared! This skill has a cooldown time of 10 minutes.】

The prompt tone changed immediately! [Your skills, observation, recording, and copying can be incorporated into the Pillar of Eternity career system. Yes/No? ]

This time, Xia Lin made a choice.

He chose yes.

[Merge completed! Please pay 100 evolution points and 50w ember points as the merger cost. ]

No, why do you want money from the Cinder System?! The Demon Emperor laughed and said, "No one gets up early if there is no benefit. There is no reason for me to work for you for free."

Okay, the expense isn't that big anyway.

Xia Lin simply paid, and the reminder sounded again!

[Your skills, observations, records, copies, and combinations are the professional talents of the Pillar of Eternity: Witness! ]

[Professional Talent 2: Witness (Racial Heritage Level): I came, I saw, I observed, I witnessed!

Your vision and observation ability have been greatly improved, and nothing can escape your eyes! This talent can speed up the growth of your first talent: Eternal Foundation! And it can be linked with the sixth-level skill: Eternal Inscription!

The observation power of this talent is affected by the Six-pillar skill: Eternal Inscription, and the judgment authority and effect are greatly improved! When you witness the effect of any skill, it is equivalent to personally bearing the skill once, thereby reducing the number of times you bear the skill of Eternal Inscription - but please note that this effect can only take effect once for Eternal Inscription! 】

The original Eternal Inscription required one to personally endure the skill four times before the skill could be recorded. With this talent added, it was equivalent to only needing to endure it three times! The improvement was not small.

But that’s not the point.

The key point is the random combination! When the witness talent appeared on Xia Lin's second attribute panel, the Jhin zone system prompt changed the subject and continued with the puzzling question just now? ? ?

[Your skills: random combination, variation: pseudo-random permutation! ]

[Pseudo-random replacement (racial heritage level) (God-given source authority +1): Active skill, exclusive skill of Uncertain Shadow.

Select a target and consume 100 points of spirit to activate the skill. After the skill is activated, your skills will be swapped with the target's skills! You can choose any number of any skills you have as the replacement object.

If you don't know the name and detailed effect of the opponent's skill, the replacement object will be completely random!

However, if you know the name and detailed effect of the opponent's skill, you can specify that skill. The more information you observe and understand about the skill, the higher the additional judgment weight of the pseudo-random replacement skill will be, but the highest will not reach the six-pillar level (this skill cannot shake the six-pillar level skills)!

Replacement effect duration: 1 hour. Skill cooldown time: 10 days. 】
