The shadow surged, and in the blink of an eye, it had already turned into a shadow domain. And when the shadow domain rose up, Qin Jinnian felt that at this moment, he seemed to have turned into an omniscient and omnipotent god.

At least, in this shadow area, everything cannot escape his perception.

He could clearly feel everything in the shadow realm.

Every brick, every tile, every blade of grass and every tree are all under his control.

This feeling and the previous "seeing" can be said to be two completely different feelings.

Seeing is a ‘subjective’ action, but perception now is completely passive.

It seemed that anything that happened in this shadow area, whether he saw it or not, would be reflected in his mind in an instant.

Like an instinct.

【Walk in the shadows, and the shadows will be your kingdom. 】

He truly experienced this feeling.

In addition to this, the number of shadows has reached an infinite level.

It seemed that as long as he wanted, he could continuously split out shadows...

The distance the shadow extended was far beyond his imagination... but he didn't know the limit. Because now, he seemed to be able to feel everything in the fragment of the entire shadow world...

"About twenty-three kilometers in diameter."

This is the range of his perception now.

And he clearly felt that this was not the limit.

It’s just because this fragment of the shadow world is only this big.

If this happened outside, how big would the range be?

Even though he had been mentally prepared and knew that his strength would definitely improve by a leap after his power was promoted, Qin Jinnian could not help but be shocked when he actually felt it.

Is this the authority after advancement?

This feeling is too scary and too powerful.

I really had a feeling of being a god...

"Could this be the origin of the word 'God' in 'God's Awareness'?"

Qin Jinnian couldn't help but think of this.

After a long time, Qin Jinnian let out a breath and put away his shadow.

The ability of the shadow has not been fully understood yet, but the surprise brought by the clone and shadow control alone is already big enough. The improvement of Dark Pupil, Shadow Devourer, Shadow Body, and Shadow Armor will not disappoint him.

These can be explored slowly later.

The next step is to open up new authority.

His eyes brightened and he looked at the panel.

Above the data panel, there are several new rows of options.

[Advanced Authority: Shadow Element Advanced Authority - 'Shadow Escape' Fragment x1]

[Owned authority fragments: Energy Department Primary Authority 'Force Field' Fragment x1. Fire Department Primary Authority 'Fire Control' Fragment x2. Spirit Department Primary Authority 'Mind' Fragment x1. Wind Department Primary Authority 'Wind Control' Fragment x1. Strengthening Department Primary Authority 'Strengthening' Fragment x1. Water Department Primary Authority 'Water Control' Fragment x1...]

[Note: The host's current status is 'Divine Perception I', and the number of new powers that can be developed is 2. ]

The last annotation made Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment, but he soon let out a sigh of relief.

He actually expected that there would be a limit on the number of permissions that could be opened.

After all, according to the panel, he is only a 'middle authority' now. If he can open up new authorities without limit... that would be a bit too abnormal.

However, according to the description in this annotation, it is obvious that as his status is elevated, the number of new authorities created will certainly increase.

I don’t know where the limit is... In the end, how many kinds of authority can he open up?

He thought with some anticipation in his heart.

Then he stopped thinking about it and looked at the panel, starting to think about the authority he should open up next.

Among them, the energy system and the spiritual system are both A-level authorities in super powers.

But Qin Jinnian's situation is different from that of ordinary people. The most important thing is... what he awakened is authority, not superpowers.

This is fundamentally different.

Just like Big Fish and Night Crow, who possessed the same 'superpower' as him, but were completely crushed by him.

The reason for this is…superpowers are completely subordinate abilities to authority.

For example, the shadows of the big fish and the night crow not only cannot hurt him, but are also controlled by him and will backfire on them...

This is the most terrifying thing about authority!

Therefore, although the energy and spirit systems were A-level super powers with super strong abilities, they were the first to be passed by Qin Jinnian at the moment of choosing authority.

After all, the reason why A-level is A-level, besides its strong capabilities, more importantly, is that it is relatively rare.

Rare means that there are few users.

The small number of users actually weakens the power of "authority" in disguise.

Just like a shadow.

To be honest, Qin Jinnian had only fought two battles in which he had truly "exercised" his "authority"...

Big fish and night crows.

And to what extent were these two games crushed?

Big Fish and Night Crow, facing Qin Jinnian, simply molded them into a circle and flattened them, letting Qin Jinnian do what he wanted! And at other times, although they were also crushing situations. But "authority" is more like "superpower"... just strong enough.

These are two completely different feelings.

This is one of the reasons.

The second reason is... he doesn't want the abilities of the members of 'Dawn' to be too special, otherwise the disadvantages will far outweigh the advantages.

Take the last evil church incident for example... If Zhang San's superpowers were not the special "shadow", but other very common "fire", "water", "wind", "earth", "lightning" and so on... Would the evil church still be able to direct the spearhead to Zhang San based on a video that didn't even show his face? It was because "shadow" was too special that although he had four clones before, in the end, only "Zhang San" was able to show himself.

The other three clones cannot show up too casually... otherwise, once a battle occurs, unless they don't take action, they will reveal a lot of things.

It was because Shadow was so special. So special that he might be the only one of his kind in the entire Daxia.

In addition, the big fish that killed a lot of people in Qinghe Lake before made some people suspect that the 'big fish' was related to Zhang San... If a person who can control shadows appeared in 'Dawn', people would inevitably doubt whether the big fish was really related to Zhang San? And does Zhang San have the ability to let others use his superpowers? Otherwise, why did no one in Daxia have shadow superpowers before, but only in 'Dawn'? This is the disadvantage brought by the superpower being too special.

Too easy to lock onto a target.

Although energy and spiritual power users are not as rare as Shadow, there are many of them in Daxia... but Dawn's combat power is definitely very strong. When the scope is narrowed down to these two types of power users, and then the strength range is narrowed down, it is actually very easy to lock on...

This actually makes it inconvenient for him to move.

Of course, "Dawn" must have rare super-powered people, which will help to enhance the quality of "Dawn".

But there also needs to be powerful common super-powered people...this is going to be real enough.

Currently, there is a "Zhang San", who is barely able to hold up the status. Next, what "Dawn" needs to show to the outside world is high-end combat power. However, this kind of combat power is not the rarer the better... On the contrary, the more common the better.

This makes the existence of 'Dawn' more real.

The combination of these two reasons made Qin Jinnian give up the idea of ​​developing the power of the energy and spiritual systems this time. His eyes fell on those super powers of the "control" generation.

The 'Control'-generation super power fragments he had obtained so far included three types: fire, water, and wind.

These super-powered people, collectively referred to as the "elemental system", are actually the majority of super-powered people.

These types of super-powered people won't even have a chance to escape when they see him.

As long as Qin Jinnian thinks about it, the other party will die the way he wants.

There will be no room for resistance.

After a moment, Qin Jinnian made a decision.

"Just fire and wind."

He narrowed his eyes.

Fire-type espers are one of the most common espers. Their espers are classified as Class B.

However, due to the 'burning' nature of flames, fire-type superpowers are known for their 'destructive power' among many superpowers of the same level.

His combat ability is extremely strong, surpassing most other elemental super powers.

Although there are fewer wind-type superpowers than fire-type superpowers, they are still quite numerous. They are known for their speed. And because they control the wind, they are one of the few superpowers that can fly... This is very important, as it will make it easier for Qin Jinnian to move in the future.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, turned around and left this shadow fragment world.

To develop other powers, a large number of shadow points are required.

Previously it might have taken a long time to obtain.

But now... there are who knows how many bat monsters in the bat cave, and two million shadow points shouldn't take long.

"Golden bats, right? I have now reached divine awareness. I wonder if I will be killed in one blow like before when facing that golden light?"

His eyes flickered as he rushed towards Ruins No. 4...

…

…

An hour later, outside ruins No. 4.

Although his authority had been upgraded and his strength had been greatly improved, Qin Jinnian had not made much improvement in terms of speed...

At least, not when it comes to flying.

After all, he was still flying in the 'Shadow Wings' mode, so there was no change in his flying speed.

"Oh right, Shadow Escape can definitely greatly increase my speed... I might as well develop Shadow Escape as well."

Shadow Escape is an advanced power of the Shadow Element, and is not a newly developed alien power, so it is not limited to the scope of '2' powers and can be fully developed.

As a result, the demand for shadow points has increased significantly.

But for Qin Jinnian, the difference between two million and three million shadow points didn’t seem that big... After all, the number of bat monsters was quite considerable, and there was no telling how many of them were living in that abysmal cave.

After making the decision, Qin Jinnian directly created four clones.

The appearance of the four clones is exactly the 'cynical' Zhang San, the 'cold handsome guy' Li Si, the 'ordinary' Wang Wu and the 'muscular man' Zhao Liu as previously set.

After the four clones appeared, they bowed slightly to Qin Jinnian and said, "Greetings, Lord of Shadows."

This made Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment.

Then he nodded subconsciously...

Then he froze, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart...

Summoning some clones by yourself, and then responding to them? Qin Jinnian, who was used to having his clones completely under his control, was still a little uncomfortable.

But he quickly let out a breath, suppressed the discomfort, and observed carefully.

Then he noticed some differences.

It was the same sentence, but the expressions and tones of the several clones were surprisingly different.

Zhang San greeted with a cynical smile, clear eyes and a smile on his lips.

Li Si had a cold expression and clear eyes, and nodded slightly.

Wang Wu had a harmless smile on his face.

Zhao Liu opened his mouth wide, revealing a row of white teeth.

Although they are all smiling, their "personalities" can be clearly seen at a glance. They are all unique and different.

And this is very consistent with Qin Jinnian's previous setting for them.

So, when these clones materialized, the character settings he had made for them were also materialized at the same time? Or, were these "sub-personalities" actually set according to these settings? Qin Jinnian was not sure, but he thought again... This was a good opportunity to see if these clones were useful.

Qin Jinnian, who originally planned to control the consciousness of the clone himself, said directly: "You all know what happened, right?"

"Know."

The four clones nodded in response at the same time.

"Then you will be fully responsible and make the decisions for this hunt. Is that ok?"

Qin Jinnian asked.

"No."

The four clones looked at each other and smiled.

"There are no restrictions on the ability to use, right?"

Li Si suddenly asked coldly.

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment, and then felt even more weird... These clones actually knew how to think about things on their own?

"As long as no one sees you, there are no limits."

Qin Jinnian thought about it and said so.

"Um."

Li Si nodded coldly.

Looking at Li Si's handsome face that resembled Yui Qi, Qin Jinnian's expression became even weirder... He is really a cold and handsome guy...

Although Qin Jinnian's appearance has become quite handsome as his vitality has emerged, he is still a step behind Li Si...

Especially the cold temperament of the other party, which might have a terrifying killing power on some women...

I am a little envious of how my clone is so fat! Qin Jinnian looked strange.

But in the end, he didn't say anything else, but nodded and said, "Go ahead if you know."

After the four clones nodded, Zhang San smiled and said, "Lord of Shadow, please lend me the Eternal Guide."

Qin Jinnian: “…”

Wu Silently, Zhang San took out the Eternal Pass, channeled his spiritual energy into it, and opened the gate to the ruins the next moment. After Zhang San returned the Eternal Pass to Qin Jinnian, his four clones flashed into the ruins.

Only Qin Jinnian was left here.

In his perception, he could clearly grasp the situation of the four clones, but he resisted the urge to let his consciousness descend upon the clones, and instead waited outside...

He wanted to see whether these four clones could bring him surprises...

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, I wish you all good luck, good health, and a happy family in the new year... Well, I've been playing cards like crazy these past two days! ... Ahem, I have to give out red envelopes if I win. Hahahaha...
