Chapter 209: Chapter 207: Destiny Promotion

"Desecration Wizards" seem to have no such restrictions.

According to the description by "Little Seventeen" and the information obtained in the "Truth Hall," "Desecration Wizards" can accommodate various "symbols" without limitation, though they can only support grazing one "pillar-level" deity per Ancient Root they harbor.

So, the reason why "Desecration Wizards" were able to dominate the Old Land in the middle to late Third Epoch, apart from the "Lord of Blasphemy," likely has much to do with this trait.

Yang Qizhou pondered.

"But what is the reason behind this?"

The game continued.

...

...

"Soon, you will have fully digested all the information about the ’Sequence,’ and many of the questions that had lingered in your heart will finally find their answers."

"You look toward the unspeakable entity before you and feel an odd curiosity mixed with a touch of wariness, wondering why it would offer its aid to you."

"Suddenly, strange and sharp syllables, impossible to describe, echo in your ears. Although you’ve never heard this language before, you instinctively understand the meaning of the words."

"It said... ’I beg of you.’"

"I beg of you?"

"The ’Dream Realm Master’ is asking for my help?"

"But having just grazed the ’God of Victory,’ with only the position of a ’Star Spirit,’ how could I possibly be of use to it?"

"You reflect, suspecting this might have something to do with ’destiny’ manifesting itself upon you."

"You don’t fully relax your vigilance, though. After all, this is the ruler of the ’Dream Realm,’ potentially responsible for the catastrophe at the end of the First Epoch, where even the Old Gods and Ancient Dominators were caught off guard. Its request is likely no simple matter."

"And then, terror strikes."

"You witness the garbage strewn above the ocean suddenly converging into a jet-black cascade, like ink polluting the sea. Soon, a grotesque giant eye abruptly opens, and within its pupil lies an exalted presence encompassing countless stars, embodying the very concept of ’Night,’ gazing directly at you."

"Piercing, terrifying, indescribable ravings echo in your ears..."

"The sound is so sharp that it feels like a sword slicing through your eardrums, swirling your brain into a shattered mess. Wracked with pain, you clutch your head and nearly succumb to death."

"You see ’Night’ spreading, gradually enveloping you."

"You lose your sense of direction, unable to discern east, south, north, west, up, or down. An irresistible drowsiness wells up in your heart."

"You understand clearly that falling asleep like this means being captured by the ’Lord of Night,’ with a fate likely worse than death."

"Yet, faced with such a perilous situation, you don’t panic. Instead, a smile appears at the corner of your mouth. Raising your hand toward the ’Lord of Night,’ you defiantly give it the middle finger, and then, without hesitation, activate the powers of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune.’"

"Before your eyes, the scenery distorts, blurs, and shatters at breakneck speed..."

...

...

Wait, wait.

Seeing the "Game Character" about to use the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to restart the destiny line, Yang Qizhou quickly stopped refreshing the text; he hadn’t forgotten his plan to freeload yet.

If this were before, Yang Qizhou wouldn’t even hesitate. He would directly open the "Destiny Store," skillfully sweeping through special items, including [Destiny Fire Bottle] and [False Road Marker].

But this time, he didn’t do so...

Because he wanted to try something.

"The previous storyline has already proven that the ability of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to restart the destiny line can restore Old Sacrifices consumed in the ’Destiny Store’ while retaining purchased items. If that’s the case, could the Old Sacrifices expended to elevate the position of the ’God of Victory’ also be restored?"

This idea had long been on Yang Qizhou’s mind. He just hadn’t had the opportunity to test it until now, as the "Game Character" was about to reset progress—a perfect chance.

Why not give it a shot?

As the thought emerged in his mind, Yang Qizhou didn’t hesitate and quickly began operating accordingly.

Thanks to the faith of the "Fire Stealing Village," which continuously provided Old Sacrifices, and some special items he had sold through the "Destiny Exchange," the total amount of Old Sacrifices had increased significantly, reaching as much as 120,000.

Every 30,000 Old Sacrifices could digest 3% of the Winning God Potion.

Yang Qizhou pondered momentarily, clicked twice, spent 60,000 Old Sacrifices, and digested 6% of the Winning God Potion.

He refrained from spending all 120,000 Old Sacrifices at once for two reasons. Firstly, he wasn’t yet sure if the Old Sacrifices consumed to digest the Winning God Potion could be restored through the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune. Secondly, since the "Game Character" had already digested 9% of the potion, adding 6% would bring it to the exact 15% threshold. At that point, the "God of Victory" would occupy five minimum units of the "Destiny" symbol and ascend to the rank of "Angel God." He feared issues arising from too rapid progression.

Having done all this, Yang Qizhou silently waited.

Sure enough,

The next moment, the scenery before his eyes changed rapidly, his consciousness elevated, and in an instant, he arrived in the abstract, distorted Star Realm, vast and boundless, filled with countless stars like a child’s whimsical scribbles.

Following the procedure, Yang Qizhou lit two stars representing the "Destiny" symbol to signify that these two symbols were now occupied by the God of Victory.

The process of lighting the first star went smoothly and was completed swiftly.

Yang Qizhou quickly focused his gaze on the second star, following the steps to maneuver the God of Victory, channeling his thoughts into it. He watched as the star grew visibly brighter, its radiance spreading like tidal waves across its surface...

"Almost there, almost there! Once this star is lit, the God of Victory will ascend and become a true ’Angel God.’"

Yang Qizhou was filled with anticipation.

But just as the final less-than-one-percent of the celestial body remained unlit, the brilliance suddenly ceased, however much Yang Qizhou tried to channel his thoughts, unable to reach the last point.

"What’s going on?" Yang Qizhou’s mind was filled with anxiety, confusion, and just a touch of bewilderment.

The next moment,

The already lit 4.9 stars representing the "Destiny" symbol began flickering in unison, and unfamiliar information emerged in Yang Qizhou’s mind.

[Category: Destiny Ascension]

[Rank: Angel]

[Method: You must play an exceedingly important role in a major event and steer its course toward your anticipated outcome. When that event concludes, you will completely light the final star and successfully ascend to the ’Angel God’ rank.]

[Note: Fate is a script.]

???

A barrage of questions arose like a confused child. Ascending ranks now required completing a specific "ritual"? This was blatantly unfair!

"Good thing I was clever enough not to use all of the Old Sacrifices to digest the Winning God Potion outright; otherwise, the remaining sixty thousand would’ve gone completely to waste."

Moreover, containing "1.9" minimum units of the "Destiny" symbol didn’t grant the God of Victory any new authority.

This left Yang Qizhou feeling rather disheartened.

With just over sixty thousand Old Sacrifices left, sticking to the principle of "waste not, want not," he opened the "Destiny Store" and skillfully swept through its special destiny items once more, placing them for sale in the "Destiny Exchange."

The game continued.

...

...

"The scenery before you distorts, blurs, and shatters rapidly. When you open your eyes again, you are back outside the ’Dream Realm Tributary.’"

"At this point, the ’Mysterious Shadow’ had just died, its body of countless eyes now fully shut and quickly withering. As for the master of this ’Dream Realm Tributary,’ due to the effects of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ still being activated, it hadn’t detected your presence and remained ignorant of your ability to perceive both ’Dream’ and ’Reality.’ The illusory giant eye scanned briefly before vanishing."

"You chuckle and retrieve the ’Star Hiding Compass,’ which is now completely purified of the ’Lord of Night’s’ contamination."

"You feel very satisfied with this trip to the ’Valley of the Silent.’"

"You..."

Yang Qizhou didn’t rush to refresh the text but skillfully opened the inventory screen; however, upon seeing the quantity of Old Sacrifices, his expression darkened.

Old Sacrifices: 61,023.

"The restoration of Old Sacrifices spent in the Destiny Store through ’restart destiny lines’ has been verified multiple times,"

"But this time, sixty thousand Old Sacrifices failed to recover."

"In other words, the Old Sacrifices consumed to digest ’Desecration Potion’ cannot be restored through the powers of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune.’"

This limitation on exploiting bugs, which had become a white-pillage habit for Yang Qizhou, made him feel uncomfortable. But alas, there was no other choice, and he shifted his attention back to the phone.

The game continued.

"You arrive before the stele inscribed with the ’Lord of Blasphemy,’ wanting to recreate the method by which you left the ’Valley of the Silent’ previously. Unfortunately, it seems that with the disappearance of the ’Lord of Blasphemy’s’ sealing, the eldritch properties of the stele are no longer present. You waited for a long time, but nothing happened." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Unable to rely on it, you resort to using the effects of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ to conceal your existence and retraced your steps."

"Soon, you reach the base of the cliff,"

"You once again see that strangely cannibal-flower-like Dream Realm’s Child; it now appears listless and downtrodden, clearly fatigued and seeming to suffer indigestion from consuming something it shouldn’t have."

"You chuckle darkly, inwardly marveling at how useful the authority over ’Reverse Flow’ is."

"You scale the rocky terrain upward and quickly exit the ’Valley of the Silent,’ leaving the area surrounding the Desecration Stone Plate and returning to the vicinity of the Fire Stealing Village."

"And just then, faint and ephemeral whispers of prayer echo in your ears."
