Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177 Chapter 1177 Survival of the Fittest

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: Survival of the Fittest Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: Survival of the Fittest To rise to the level of a chief or a hero was as crucial as choosing one’s character at the beginning. If one was slightly luckier, that could change their entire course in the game.

Thus, players subsequently referred to it as a “second choice of fate,” meaning it could transform their destiny, and many players had indeed succeeded.

In the realm of the ancient gods, the rarer passive auras were fewer, and even the god-level auras could belong to only one player.

Li Yao had originally planned to be satisfied with a somewhat popular, not too strong but not too weak, passive Hero Aura. Yet, he did not meet his own expectations.

Additionally, in his previous life, he had seen numerous auras with plunder attributes, but the problem was that other people’s auras boosted attack, health points, or other powerful passive talents, which could enhance a legion by several grades. As for plunder, one could only gain a little more spoils of war, but one must be victorious first to plunder at all–if you can’t win, there’s nothing to plunder.

Li Yao truly wanted to cry but had no tears, yet he had no choice but to continue with a sense of frustration.

“Damn it, why can’t I be lucky just once? If the active skill sucks too, I’ll have a hard time in the future.”

Li Yao took another deep breath and spun the wheel again, and with his heart pounding fiercely, the wheel finally stopped. Li Yao waited a while, making sure it had completely stopped, and then looked at it intently.

“System: Hero Active Skill Extraction successful, acquired the Spell ‘Natural Selection’.”

Li Yao frowned slightly. He hadn’t heard of this Legion Skill in his previous life, but as long as it was a Legion Skill, it was unlikely to be bad– even those meant for healing could be greatly beneficial. Any kind of Legion-augmenting skill could play an extraordinary role at the right time.

Natural Selection: Survival of the fittest, an ancient and unchanging principle. After the battle begins, one legion is chosen to undergo demonic advancement. Warcraft-level legions will advance one tier. However, not all creatures in the chosen legion will evolve to a higher level, leaving a small percentage to die. The number of deaths is determined by the species of the legion’s creatures, and after the battle, half of the number of deaths due to demonic transformation will retain their transformation. Creatures already at the Warcraft level will see no deaths but only a minimal probability of retaining their higher tier after the battle.

Li Yao stared at the Legion Skill for a long while before muttering, “Just as misery leads to happiness! To pull such a heaven-defying Legion Skill is simply divine.”

The direct implication of this skill was that during a confrontation with other legions, Li Yao could choose one legion to deploy this skill. If the chosen legion wasn’t already at Warcraft level, it would become so during the battle; if it was already a Warcraft level, it would ascend a tier. The downside was that a portion of troops might die due to the inability to endure the power of the transformation.

Naturally, half the number of dead troops would retain the demonic transformation and become true Warcraft, while those initially at Warcraft levels would have their tiers upgraded, but essentially, they wouldn’t die nor retain the transformation.

In the ancient gods, there were many measures of probability like likely, highly likely, basically likely, marginally likely, and minuscule likely, with the latter statistically being one in a million–an almost negligible chance.

Yet it was still incredibly heaven-defying, and Li Yao’s main combat power currently was the Worm Tribe, making this skill seemingly bespoke for them.

Li Yao’s only regret was that it could only be activated after the legion war had started; otherwise, he would constantly use demonic transformation and gradually have an army of demonic Steel Insect Tribe.

Moreover, Gryphons were fundamentally silver elite Warcraft and immensely powerful. If they were all to ascend a tier, his 110,000 chief-level Gryphons would truly dominate the skies.

But there were no battles at the moment, and Li Yao couldn’t leave Griffin Plains as he needed to oversee the construction.

So Li Yao began researching the profound mysteries. He discovered that these mysteries, like the Sonic Arrow, were divided into several parts and were not merely skills but extensions of the mysteries themselves based on one’s understanding.

Li Yao somewhat neglected sleep and food, as if he had returned to the state he had been in his previous life when he had practiced tirelessly in the valley for months.

Besides his routine patrol every morning, he spent the rest of his time on the training ground getting familiar with the mysteries.

After half a month’s research, Li Yao had gained some insights into the mysteries and had developed some applications.

The most practical was that, as he studied the mysteries, his sensitivity had once again improved.

In terms of applications, one was that the scatter of the mysteries had replaced his Rain of Arrows skill. He could deplete his mana in two seconds, unleashing countless arrows. Through experiments, he found that his current mana could allow him to unleash three thousand arrows in two seconds. Moreover, the arrows had the Wind Thunder attribute, creating a genuine storm of arrows sweeping everything away. However, the drawback was also clear–after this move, his mana was depleted.

The second application was that he could rely on his spiritual power to split the Wind Thunder afterimages, which was effectively like a Shadow Martial God. Li Yao’s spiritual power was strong, and he could multitask, splitting many Shadow Martial Gods. But, like the first, not only did splitting the Wind Thunder afterimages consume mana, but the attacks of the afterimages also depleted his own mana. Although the afterimages were nearly as powerful as his clones, they would disappear once out of mana.

“Is this asking me to pile up mana, or did I go down the wrong path,” Li Yao wondered helplessly, unable to think of other research directions.

“Hey, big brother, are you coming back or not? This event is really good; I’ve already gotten many strong legions. If you don’t come back soon, you’ll miss out on everything.”

With the beeping sound, Li Yao opened and heard Tong Tong’s voice message. Judging by the time, it seemed to have been sent a day ago.

Only then did Li Yao realize that he indeed recalled such an event.

Li Yao quickly opened the official website and saw a large image of a Devil Tyrannosaurus. The Devil Tyrannosaurus was massive, fierce, and terrifying, standing over a huge mammoth elephant, stomping it underfoot like a chick, the scene bloody yet with a powerful visual impact.

Event: Four factions assault the Blood Sacrifice Domain.

The Blood Sacrifice Domain was an ancient and barbaric sub-dimension, originally ruled by the gigantic Devil Tyrannosaurus. The Horned Demon Tribe and the Primitive Blood Tribe trembled under the powerful rule of the Devil Tyrannosaurus King.

The two tribes had become human pets corralled by the Devil Tyrannosaurus, enduring a dark age that lasted thousands of years.

Until three thousand years ago, when the old Devil Tyrannosaurus King died a natural death, leaving his succession unresolved.

Taking advantage of this, two young chieftains from the tribes convinced their people, and while the Devil Tyrannosaurus were fighting for the throne, they launched a surprise attack…
