Chapter 453: The third system, the mutation of destiny, the fourth system, the twin shadow pillars!
The biggest problem with the mutation system lies in its inherent uncertainty.
Uncertainty means instability, and an unstable capability system is almost always unreliable.
This can certainly be supplemented by luck-related abilities, but things like luck and fate are areas that cultivators are proficient in.
Xia Lin also has a grudge against the Heavenly Dao Creator, the ancestor of immortal cultivation...
Therefore, relying entirely on the mutation system to grow and fight is tantamount to handing your life over to the enemy and allowing them to slaughter you.
——This was the underlying logic behind Xia Lin’s previous abandonment of the mutation system.
But now, the situation is different.
The Creator of Heaven and Earth has already entered the arena of death. He can barely protect himself, so how can he have the time to care about Xia Lin?
What's more, Xia Lin now has the Heavenly Equation!
After the Lord of Heaven was pulled into the crystal entity, the Heavenly Equation in Xia Lin's hand was most likely the only Heavenly Equation in this world.
And this skill is the foundation of a cultivator!
"I will use Unstable Mutation and other mutation-related skills as the main materials, and the Heavenly Dao Equation as the auxiliary materials to forge my third system."
"I hope that my third set of twelve-level core systems can achieve the following:"
"Everything I see can be transformed. As long as it is transformed, it can definitely be used for my benefit!"
The skylight began to flash, instantly sweeping and decomposing the unstable mutant talents and the huge number of skill light balls headed by the Heavenly Dao Equation.
Integration begins now!
This was the third time Xia Lin saw the boundless sky light, and he was no longer surprised. He just observed and waited.
This time, the integration took much longer than the previous two times, and consumed more of the power of the six pillars.
Not surprising.
In the previous two integrations, Xia Lin did not use the six-pillar core skills such as the Heavenly Dao Equation, but he used it this time.
The six-pillar core skills must have their own special features. Adding them as auxiliary materials into the integration will undoubtedly place higher demands on the will of the universe.
The task is difficult, the company charges more and works slowly, which is reasonable and worthy of forgiveness.
After a full ten minutes of perceived time and the consumption of 100,000 strands of Six Pillars power, the integration was finally completed.
A talent and two skill light balls appeared beside Xia Lin, shining brightly with a light full of chaotic beauty.
Xia Lin still prioritizes talent.
The new talent evolved from unstable mutation caught Xia Lin's attention.
[Destiny Mutation (Six Pillars Level Talent): A class-specific talent! Within all your energies and skills lies the power of mutation! This power can mutate everything! Following your will, it can cause inevitable deterioration mutations to enemy targets, while bringing inevitable optimization mutations to yourself and friendly targets!
Note: The direction of mutation is generally still uncontrollable... but this talent can guarantee that you will definitely gain a certain advantage from the mutation! With this talent, destiny is definitely in your hands!
The new talent generally meets Xia Lin's requirements. It is still uncontrollable, but no longer unreliable.
After all, mutation requires random factors to be considered a mutation. If it is completely controllable, it becomes a transformation.
Xia Lin's purpose in adding the Heavenly Dao Equation to this integration is precisely this - the mutation system does not need to be completely controllable, but destiny must be in my hands!
To put it simply, it means to maximize your luck value.
The Equation of Heaven can satisfy this requirement - the Heaven that is favored by destiny is the Heaven of the Equation of Heaven!
Looking sideways at the two new skills that came with the Destiny Mutation, Xia Lin was stunned.
"These two brothers are quite interesting..."
[Destiny Probability Dice (Six-pillar Level): Active skill, supporting the Destiny Mutation Talent. This skill is a Level 12 exclusive core skill that can be unleashed after incorporating the power of divine transcendence to negate all enemy judgments!
It's my destiny! And now, I get to roll the dice!
Consume 10,000 points of mental power to activate this skill, summoning the destiny probability dice! The probability dice has six sides, with the numbers on them being 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 respectively.
When the dice lands on a 4, nothing happens.
When the dice rolls a 4 or higher, your current situation (both known and unknown) will be combined to produce undirected changes to yourself, your enemies, the environment, and even the laws of the universe! The higher the roll, the greater the degree of change! And the results are guaranteed to be favorable to you!
Note: After the mutation occurs, you need to continuously consume mental energy to maintain the mutation effect! The higher the degree of mutation, the more mental energy you consume!
Note: The duration of the influence of the probability dice depends on your total mental power. If your mental power is not exhausted, the mutation effect will last forever!
Note: After a round of mutation effects ends, this skill enters CD! This skill has a cooldown of 1 year, and the cooldown of this skill cannot be cleared by any other skill!
"Hmm~~"
Xia Lin scratched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he concluded, "So, this is a strengthened and upgraded version of the ultimate move of Destiny Mutation?"
This statement accurately describes the effect of the Fate Probability Dice - it is a one-time enhanced version of the Fate Mutation.
As for the effect of this skill, how it differs from the Destiny Mutation Talent, and how much its strength has changed, this will require subsequent actual combat to verify.
And it is obviously not something that can be verified casually. The cooldown of this skill is similar to that of Absolute Balance. If it is said to be 1 year, it is 1 year. It cannot be cleared by fair trade. It is considered a trump card.
Xia Lin thought about it again and simply took another skill from the sea of skill light balls floating around him.
[Spirit Tide (Racial Heritage): Passive skill. Whenever your Spiritual Power falls below the threshold (10 points), 100 points of your maximum Spiritual Power will be permanently consumed to restore your Spiritual Power to full!]
He also summoned a ray of six-pillar power from the sky, directly raising the tide of mental power to the six-pillar level.
Xia Lin was poor before, but now he is so rich, so of course some of his useful skills must be upgraded to the six-pillar level.
As the skill level increases, the effect of Mental Tide also changes.
[Spirit Tide (Sixth Pillar): Passive skill. Whenever your Spiritual Power falls below the threshold (100 points), 1 point of your maximum Spiritual Power will be permanently consumed to restore your Spiritual Power to full! At the same time, your Spiritual Power recovery rate is increased to 1% of the total amount per 10 seconds.]
The ultimate move, Destiny Probability Dice, consumes an astonishing amount of mental energy, so it must be paired with a skill that can strongly restore mental energy.
Even if this factor is not taken into consideration, powerful recovery skills such as Mental Tide are still valuable for improvement.
At present, Xia Lin's skill bar is unlimited, and a large number of passive/mutated skills that he had accumulated in the past are all on his own attribute panel and are constantly effective.
But the effect of other recovery skills combined is not as overwhelming as the Mental Tide!
After finding a "concubine" for the Destiny Probability Dice, Xia Lin looked at the last integrated skill light ball, his face twitched, and then he smiled with relief.
"Groove's Shrimp is still chasing me!"
This skill is a combination of negative skills such as King of the Coward, combined with powerful auxiliary materials such as Unstable Mutation and Heaven's Equation.
[Divine Mutation (Six Pillars): Active skill, supporting the Destiny Mutation talent. This skill is a Level 12 exclusive core skill that can be unleashed after incorporating the power of divine transcendence to negate all enemy judgments!
Come! I'll give you a chance!
Consume 10,000 mental energy to activate this skill! Once this skill hits, it will permanently change the target's fate, turning them into a god!
Note: Fate: The sum of destiny and character! After the fate is changed, the luck and character of the person will be greatly changed.
Note: A divine person: Someone who goes against common sense and cannot be understood by normal people is a divine person!
Note: This skill's effect direction is random, but extremely powerful! Changes are significant!
Note: The Godly Attribute is not necessarily a negative effect. Maybe you can try it with a friendly unit?
This skill has a cooldown of 10 days, but can be forcibly shortened by other types of skills.
"This skill is hard for me to evaluate..."
It is not appropriate to say that this is a new version of Brother Xia's ship, because this skill can be used on friendly forces and even yourself.
——Who says being a genius with unique ideas is necessarily a bad thing?
After thinking about it, Xia Lin felt relieved.
The mutation system is so strange and bizarre, and what stands out is the king of ideas, which shocks others.
At this point, the integration of the third system is complete.
It is based on the talent: Destiny Mutation, and branches out with the skills: Destiny Probability Dice and Divine Mutation.
The priorities are clearly defined, and together they build the system Xia Lin needs: "Everything I see can be transformed, and as long as it is transformed, it can be used by me and benefit me."
However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see that the mutation system still has unstable defects.
Powerful, but unstable...
"But this is the mutation system, this is the uncertain shadow."
Xia Lin said to himself with emotion.
At this moment, Xia Lin reviewed his three systems.
The first system: Witnessing Eternal Proof, the pursuit is omniscience, stability and strength, which will be Xia Lin’s basic combat method.
The second system: Life and Death Battle, which pursues immortality and rapid breakthrough. In fact, in the second system, Life and Death Battle does not occupy a dominant position. Instead, the eternal talent is the core of the second system, and Life and Death Battle is at most a supplement.
It is unfair to regard this system as a limit-breaking system. Instead, it should be regarded as an undead defense system.
The third system: Destiny mutation, is the reflection of witnessing the eternal proof, pursuing the unknown and powerful.
It seems a bit unreasonable that the new Destiny mutation system consumes 100,000 strands of Six Pillars Power. The new one talent and two skills cannot match the consumption of 100,000 strands of Six Pillars Power.
But Xia Lin thought otherwise.
Because this new system inherits the core of the Heavenly Dao Equation, firmly occupies the pinnacle of "Destiny" and strangles the throat of "Fortune"!
This is the source of huge consumption and also the most needed factor for the mutation system - without the blessing of destiny and luck, the mutation system simply cannot function.
At this moment, the third system is formed and combined with the first system to form a complementary relationship.
——Under normal circumstances, Witness Yongzheng will defeat the weak. Once you encounter a problem that Witness Yongzheng cannot solve, it is time for Destiny Mutation to take action.
Generally speaking, Xia Lin's idea is actually to use the destiny mutation system to strive for the upper limit and to use the witness permanent proof system to maintain the lower limit.
In the environment where the six pillars are missing, such a system is enough to give Xia Lin enough confidence to face all strong enemies.
——Come on, let’s fight. I can’t even imagine what kind of effect I can achieve!
As the three major systems were completely formed, the power of the six pillars consumed reached 120,000 strands - an unprecedented number.
The results are also impressive.
Whether in terms of potential or combat effectiveness, Xia Lin's three major systems must have created an unprecedented monster!
Comprehensive, immortal, high lower limit, unknown upper limit.
But this is still not the end.
"There is one last system..." Xia Lin murmured, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
"A true dual-professional integration system."
…
The Witness Eternal Proof system inherited the characteristics of the Pillar of Eternity profession, while taking away some of the pseudo-random replacement factors belonging to the Uncertain Shadow from the past Xia Lin.
This can be considered a dual-profession fusion system, but it is only a superficial fusion.
The life and death battle system is completely derived from the Pillars of Eternity.
Not to mention the destiny mutation system, which is an enhanced version of unstable mutation.
Up to this point, Xia Lin still hadn't grasped the true essence of the dual-profession integration, and hadn't completed the complete unification of the Uncertain Shadow and the Pillar of Eternity professions—just like right now, he still hadn't figured out what to name his new profession.
But the name is not important.
At least it’s not what Xia Lin should be thinking about right now.
Everything in his mind was filled with the dual-professional concept and the three core six-pillar skills he once mastered: Equation of Heaven, Advent of the Old Ones, and Absolute Balance.
Countless thoughts intertwined with each other, bursting into brilliant sparks.
However, the essence of some things was indeed profound and mysterious. Xia Lin had not yet reached the twelfth level and could not understand it at all.
—For example, Absolute Balance and the advent of the past that has long since departed from Xia Lin.
But these effects are minor.
Because he is in the promotion space, the will of the universe and the power of the six pillars will naturally help Xia Lin solve everything!
As the thought came to his mind, Xia Lin suddenly had an idea.
He looked up at the source of the light in the sky and spoke slowly.
"With all the foundation I have accumulated and the power of all six pillars I currently possess, please help me complete the final system for the fusion of the two professions."
"I won't set any requirements. I'll leave it to you to do whatever you want."
In this final step, Xia Lin acted as a hands-off boss.
Similar to Nicholas's "I am all things that can be killed", but the essence is completely different.
Others only make requests without providing materials.
Xia Lin only provided the materials but did not make any requirements.
He was just asking the will of the universe to use all the chips he currently had to integrate an unknown system.
The will of the universe responded to Xia Lin’s request.
More and denser light descended from the sky, landing on Xia Lin's body and merging into his body.
His power vaguely swept across Xia Lin's body, soul, and even memories... and left a mysterious mark.
Then the light began to retract, sweeping away all the light in the sky, the power of all six pillars, and even the three major systems that Xia Lin had just created, and quickly returned to the sky, disappearing to an unknown location.
After just a few seconds, the entire promotion space dimmed.
Xia Lin was startled and didn't know what was going on. The scene in front of him turned from bright to dark, which gave Xia Lin a bad premonition.
Fortunately, new changes occurred soon.
A spot of light grew from small to large and gradually appeared in front of Xia Lin.
The light spot expanded rapidly and soon turned into an object that looked familiar to Xia Lin.
After careful examination, Xia Lin discovered that this object was actually a smaller replica of the crystal entity in the outside world that sealed the six pillars.
However, this is also the result of the fusion of two professions and the three core skills of six pillars!
Xia Lin suddenly had an epiphany.
Because the King of Kings had already given the answer to the system he was looking for!
When the new light of day descended again, Xia Lin's spiritual connection with the will of the universe broke through the threshold and reached a new height.
Endless information flowed into Xia Lin's heart, causing Xia Lin's eyes to flicker, and then he suddenly woke up!
"This is it! This is exactly what I want!!"
A faint voice emerged from the bottom of my heart.
——As you wish.
The skylight erupted again, and talents and skills reappeared one by one and were successfully integrated into Xia Lin's body.
——It includes all of the three major systems that have been built.
And at the last moment, the protagonist appeared.
More skylight flowed into the replica of the crystal entity in front of Xia Lin.
This object quickly changes its form under the transformation of the skylight.
Finally, it turned into a pitch-black Xia Lin with Xia Lin's body shape and facial features!
This is the Twin Shadows of Evil!
However, now, it is no longer called the Twin Shadows.
It transformed into a new talent.
A talent called: Shadow Pillar Twins!
[Shadow Pillar Twins (Six Pillars Level Talent): ??? A class-exclusive talent! Your shadow, transformed by the will of the universe and the three Six Pillars core skills, has become a pair of shadows with the power to break through the rules! With this talent, you can ignore and break all the rules of the current universe at the cost of any energy or mental strength!]
The instructions are short, but they mean a lot!
The twin shadows suddenly twisted and instantly fell into Xia Lin's body, transforming into the twin talents of the Shadow Pillar.
Somehow, Xia Lin seemed to sense a change, but when he carefully considered it, he didn't know where the change had occurred.
"It doesn't seem to have any effect on combat effectiveness... No, it has."
The two most obvious points are: skill uniqueness rule and skill CD rule.
The newly acquired Destiny Probability Dice and Absolute Balance both have the rule that the CD time cannot be reset in any way.
At this moment, with the twin talents of Shadow Pillar, Xia Lin immediately had a premonition - now, he could use the twin talents of Shadow Pillar to break this rule.
As for consumption, mental power can be regarded as energy. From this perspective, the importance of mental power tide is further increased...
However, just as Xia Lin was trying to think of more tactics to break the rules, he suddenly had an idea.
"Why the hell am I thinking about these useless things?! The greatest significance of this talent is not here at all!"
In an instant, Xia Lin realized the most critical point of this talent.
——It can break all the rules of the current main universe, including the limit of six pillars!
The moment he thought of this, Xia Lin's heart trembled, realizing that his nearly ten million six-pillar power was definitely not wasted.
The six-pillar structure is determined by the upper three pillars and is the underlying rule of the universe!
And now, the ability to break this rule has emerged.
Its name is: Shadow Pillar Twins!
Xia Lin's eyes were dim, his thoughts wandering for no reason, and he had more associations.
The Heavenly Equation and the Pillars of Eternity.
The Old Ones and the Uncertain Shadow.
The four are one yin and one yang, one positive and one odd, just like Xia Lin's true body and evil shadow, clearly distinguished.
After the addition of Absolute Balance, the dual professions merged, the reality and the dark dimension merged, and the Equation of Heaven and the Advent of the Old Ones merged. The King of Kings borrowed Xia Lin's characteristics to create a crystalline entity, forcibly gathering the six pillars together and isolating them from interfering with the main universe.
——This operation is the perfect embodiment of the breaking and destruction of rules. The King of Kings used this to untie the strong binding relationship between the pillar position and the main universe!
And at this moment, the will of the universe is applying exactly this idea!
It's just the opposite. Instead of sealing and isolating the pillars, it's used to break the shackles, break the rules and restrictions, and even create new pillar positions!
In a trance, Xia Lin felt a sense of emotion.
“Absolute balance brings balance, but it can also create absolute imbalance.”
"Six is the number of balance; seven is unbalanced."
"The unbalanced number seven represents the unknown and the miraculous, which aligns with the professional purpose of the Uncertain Shadow. The Pillar itself is the support of the universe and should be omniscient and omnipotent, which corresponds to the professional purpose of the Pillar of Eternity."
"Yes, I was right! The will of the universe helped me integrate the greatest significance of this talent, which is to break the balance and give birth to the seventh pillar!"
"This pillar belongs exclusively to me, Xia Lin!"
With a thought, Xia Lin gained a new understanding of his new career.
"Shadow Pillar."
"This new profession, which leads directly to the Pillar position, should be called Shadow Pillar!"
