Chapter 657: Chapter 528: Power Upgrade!

Twenty-three hours had passed.

Only one hour remained before the battle for supremacy would begin.

Wu Xiaode glanced down at the Oblivion River Ring on his hand.

A gleam of light burst forth from the ring and formed a line of small characters:

"Have all the tasks before the battle been completed?"

As Wu Xiaode read these words, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of reluctant goodbye hidden between the lines.

In the past twenty-three hours—

Satan had made some money.

The Virtual World had acquired gold and other precious metals.

He had completed a multitude of tasks on the Naihe Bridge, obtained various treasures, as well as the time to return.

Jiang Shanglan’s curse had been lifted to a significant degree.

—Once his own world upgraded and the strength of the two angels improved, he could further help lift her curse.

A win-win situation for all four parties.

Not just the World Will, even Jiang Shanglan was somewhat reluctant to part.

Just a moment ago, Satan had wanted to become sworn brothers with him.

"After tallying up, nearly all combatants have acquired three skills; we’ve made quite a profit this time around."

Wu Xiaode said casually, then asked:

"Hey, I’m about to leave the Virtual World to spend the time I earned from tasks before returning. Do you approve?"

The light swiftly changed, creating new text:

"Of course, that’s agreed upon. However, during your absence, Jiang Shanglan will step up to handle the affairs of the safe zone."

Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, she’s already agreed to it."

He closed his eyes slightly, beginning to introspect his own world.

A desolate plain the size of two and a half football fields.

A small temple.

The ground littered with gold, with a giant dragon slumbering amid the gold.

—This was the current scene of the world.

Jiang Shanglan was in this world.

She glanced at the dragon snoring loudly and shook her head, walking straight towards the temple.

Both the Extreme Good Angel and the Judgement Angel jumped down from the altar to greet her.

"Sister, you’re here."

"Sister, would you like some tea? I’ll pour you some."

The two angels greeted her warmly.

Jiang Shanglan smiled warmly and said:

"Little Wu has gathered many treasures; I’m here to give him a hand."

She opened a bag.

—This bag contained various rewards that all strong participants accumulated through completing the Naihe Bridge tasks for the battle for supremacy.

Now, all these treasures were in Jiang Shanglan’s hands.

In fact, it was extremely arduous and difficult for those powerful beings to complete the tasks on the Naihe Bridge.

But the World Will had assigned Jiang Shanglan to Wu Xiaode.

—Jiang Shanglan was there to supervise the entire process!

That was the reason why the tasks had been proceeding smoothly!

Wu Xiaode trusted her capabilities and judgement, so he had invited her to help with the upgrade of his world.

"Are you confident?"

Wu Xiaode appeared in his own world and asked.

"I’ve thought it over," Jiang Shanglan said with a charming smile, smoothing her hair, "Your Book of the Dead is extremely rare, and it’s almost impossible to integrate it fully into the world all at once. It would be better to focus all our efforts on one skill instead."

After finishing her sentence, she began to take out the various treasures from the bag and neatly arranged them according to category.

"What are you doing?" he asked curiously.

Jiang Shanglan’s beautiful face showed a trace of worry as she softly said:

"I have a secret technique specifically for enhancing a certain world skill, which I’ve never used before. This time, I’ll use it on your world."

Little Wu’s world had that attribute, the core power of Heaven.

That’s why a temple had manifested itself.

—That’s why there was the Causality Law world skill: Heavenly Punishment.

We must find a way to speed up the integration.

Delay could lead to unexpected troubles!

There’s only that secret technique then—

Jiang Shanglan finally made up her mind and extended her hand quietly.

Her five slender, fair fingers emitted a faint glow, each producing mysterious natural runes constantly appearing within the light.

Boom, boom, boom—

The energy emanating from her whole body thundered, as if at any moment she could destroy everything in this world.

"Star Magic, condense!"

Jiang Shanglan commanded.

All the treasures laid on the ground shattered into pieces, gathering towards her five fingers and solidifying into red, yellow, orange, green, and blue glows.

"What is this?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

"A technique you’re currently unable to comprehend," Jiang Shanglan replied.

You guys—

Who was included in ’you guys’?

Wu Xiaode chewed on her words silently.

Jiang Shanglan chanted a spell and placed her hand on Wu Xiaode’s chest.

In an instant, the five-colored lights merged into his body.

"...It doesn’t seem to have any reaction."

Wu Xiaode expressed his surprise.

"What kind of reaction were you expecting?" Jiang Shanglan gave him a glare, her face turning a bit red.

It took Wu Xiaode a few moments to catch on, and he couldn’t help sighing silently to himself.

—Girl, your imagination is a bit too rich, you’ve breached my limits.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with you in the future.

A few moments later.

A new altar appeared between the two angels.

The Book of the Dead immediately manifested on the altar and opened, revealing lines of small ice crystals:

"From this moment on, ’Wrath’ has been fully integrated into your world."

"’Fury’ has become your second World Attribute."

"—This is your most powerful strength now!"

"Commencing the tally of your World Attributes:"

"1: Law Transformation;"

"Your Divine Envoys can guide the deceased into your world and, at the right moment, transform them into a World Attribute to provide evolutionary power for the species of your world."

"2: Feigned Death;"

"When the world is under attack, it will fall into a faux demise, thus avoiding harm from outside."

"—When the world has been destroyed, how will you destroy it again?"

"3: Fury;"

"The entire world becomes a battlefield of ’Fury,’ where all combat follows the Law of Fury."

All the small characters flashed away.

Wu Xiaode unconsciously looked up at his health bar.

300,000.

His Life Force had increased!

Strength...

He clenched his fists, feeling almost as though he could shatter the stars with the power coursing through his body.

"My power before was the Eternal Soul Power... just a few hundred points."

Wu Xiaode said hesitantly.

Jiang Shanglan smiled slightly and shook her head, "No need to fret over the power you had as a mortal. What does it matter if a mortal’s Soul Power were as high as a million or ten million, if they were to oppose an entire world? That is the epitome of facing the world as an enemy."

"—Unless someone could annihilate all creatures in your world, who would be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with you?"

She gave Wu Xiaode a light tap.

At that moment.

A sense of enlightenment bubbled up in Wu Xiaode’s heart.

—His power attributes were beginning to change!

From now on, even if he collected more pages of the Book of the Dead, they could only add the Death Law to his world and could no longer become his Soul Power.

Yes.

His Soul Power had undergone a metamorphosis!

The Book of the Dead too flashed with rows of ice crystal characters:

"You have received Jiang Shanglan’s divine guidance."

"The other party is a ??? Level existence and has guided you through the initial phase of world power."

"All your Soul Power has transformed into ’World-class Soul Power,’ which can be referred to as Realm Power for short."

"World-class Soul Power is calculated based on the size of your whole world, the richness of resources, the number of creatures, and the degree of spirituality."

"Your World Soul Power is:"

"10."

"Each point of World Soul Power can be used to unleash a creature class skill once and maximize its potential."

"Each point of World Soul Power can impose a Law-based influence on your own world, allowing it to grow."

After contemplating for a few moments, Wu Xiaode casually waved his hand.

"You have used 1 point of Realm Power."

Rain began to fall from the sky.

The downpour cascaded onto the Desolate Wilderness amongst thunder and lightning, awakening the dormant grass seeds underground.

Gradually, some sprouting green emerged in the wilderness.

The rocks lying beneath comfortably turned over, allowing mud to cover their surfaces—

This was the Rock Giants beginning to absorb the minerals contained in the rainwater and soil.

They too had begun to grow.

"So this is how it’s used."

Wu Xiaode remarked.

"All right, let’s get to the point," Jiang Shanglan laughed, "You have gathered three World Attributes. As long as you continue to grow and evolve these attributes to a higher level, you will upgrade to an Intermediate World-class life form."

"Upgrade?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, after becoming an Intermediate World-class life form, your World-class Soul Power will greatly increase, your world will expand, and the species within it will have the chance for natural evolution," Jiang Shanglan explained.

"—It seems I need to enhance ’Fury’ first."

Wu Xiaode said without hesitation.

Before, "Fury" could only ensure that the damage enemies dealt to him was a fixed value.

Now, it was integrated into his world!

From now on, never mind those feigning-death giants or the Double Angels with "Heavenly Punishment," even the dragon named Fat Sa could join the fight!

This was a giant dragon that possessed the Secret Techniques of the Dragon Clan!

Jiang Shanglan observed silently for a few moments, then remarked with emotion:

"Though your world is still at a Basic stage, the degree of Law concentration is terribly formidable. Even existences several Levels stronger than you could capsize if they are not careful."

Wu Xiaode sincerely replied:

"Thank you for your Secret Technique, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how long it would take to merge ’Fury’ into my world."

He looked towards the altar.

There he saw two Angels radiating an indescribable force.

—This was the majestic power of the world!

Compared to it, the "Fury" he previously exerted was incomparably weak.

"Extreme Good, Judgement, stay still, I will enhance your strength," he said.

Both Angels opened their eyes simultaneously, looking at him expectantly.

Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and pointed, infusing the remaining 9 points of World Soul Power entirely into the two women.

For a time.

The ground shook continuously.

The boundaries of the world began to expand outward.

Soon, new Desolate lands appeared from the darkness, growing larger and larger.

The ground beneath the Temple swelled, forming a Little Shan that lifted the Temple to the peak.

In the Void, various Divine Beast Spirit Flowers materialized, with the fragrance of precious rain surrounding the Temple, enhancing its solemn grandeur.

Extreme Good and Judgement sensed this simultaneously.

They spread their pure white wings, then folded them back onto their bodies, transforming them into an elegant robe, and together they ascended to the altar, standing still.

The Book of the Dead showed another line of ice crystal characters:

"The World Will has imbued the two Angels with potent Realm Power."

"Their strength has increased to a certain extent."

"Please continue to infuse 50 points of World-class Soul Power, and they will qualify for becoming gods."
