After cleaning up the crime scene, of course the first thing to do was fence the loot.

Lin Xun immediately clicked to use the Divine item in his Inventory.

[You used the Mother Buddha of All Evils’ White Bone Prayer Beads (Immortal grade item)!]

[You gained 1 point of Divinity!]

He opened the panel, and after the +10 Soul Authority, there was now another cute little plus sign.

“Authority power is leveling up so fast. Before entering the last chapter world, my soul talent was only +5, and now it’s already about to reach +11…”

Such rapid advancement in authority power had both advantages and disadvantages.

Although the overall might of his Soul Authority had increased dramatically, Lin Xun’s own control over authority was already starting to lag behind the speed of its growth.

It was like a beginner boxer whose physical strength had been greatly enhanced, but whose combat skills had not improved accordingly, leaving him unable to bring out all of his strength.

To address this, the servant had devised a training method for Lin Xun to improve his control over authority, a method specifically meant to improve his control over Chaos Authority.

The method was simple: guess answers.

The first step of the training plan was to keep tossing coins and guessing heads or tails.

To be more precise, before the coin was tossed, before anyone knew whether it would land heads or tails, he was to use Chaos Authority to define the future outcome of the coin’s landing.

This kind of training method could be done casually at any time. Even in the middle of the game, it did not hinder Lin Xun from progressing through the game while also training his control over authority.

Lin Xun had been training his control over authority this way ever since before entering the Extreme Evil world, and he had not stopped even after entering the game.

Now he could already define the correct heads-or-tails result ninety-nine percent of the time. Before tossing a coin, as long as a thought moved through his mind, no matter what posture he used to throw it, the side that landed would be the side he imagined.

At this point, the training plan advanced by one level, and the coin in his hand had already been replaced by dice with more possible outcomes.

When he could toss a handful of dice and accurately announce the final number before the toss, the training plan could be advanced again…

The training plan devised by the servant was extremely detailed. First came defining answers with many possibilities and little causal impact, then defining answers with many possibilities and greater causal impact.

Lin Xun had even seen, in the latter half of the training manual, a training plan where he was supposed to define lottery numbers before the winning numbers were drawn.

At the time, he had looked speechless, but the servant had said meaningfully, “If you can accurately define the lottery numbers, that will mean your control over Chaos Authority has already become so high that you can ignore most laws of causality.”

“That is the supreme might of using Chaos Authority, after the answer has already been set, after countless possibilities have already been confirmed, to twist the final answer…”

Lin Xun did not understand it, but he was deeply shaken.

He knew that improving control over Soul Authority was very important. Even with a Soul Secret like Beginning of the Holy Spirit that greatly increased his control, what needed to be trained still had to be trained.

After all, the duration of Beginning of the Holy Spirit was limited, and its cost was not small either. It could only be used as a trump card at critical moments. It could not be activated from beginning to end without loss the way the Child of Evil’s Flesh Boil could.

[You consume 1 point of Divinity. Soul Authority level +1!]

[Soul authority – Chaos Authority +11: Your soul possesses an unprecedented unique authority. It cannot be defined, cannot be observed, cannot be described, and presents an initial superimposed state in which chaos, disorder, confusion, and all things may be transformed…]

A huge number of characters flashed through Lin Xun’s eyes as Analysis Authority was activated.

Given that authority power +10 was Immortal, and +18 was the limit of a main god, and given the mechanism of breaking through a major realm every three levels, it was easy to calculate that +13 would allow advancement to Eternal True God, while +16 would allow one to touch the level of a Supreme Main God.

Now that his authority power had risen to +11, the game had not displayed a prompt saying that the little dragonkin’s Shell had advanced to Immortal+ grade. That meant the Shell grade of Immortal+ should correspond to authority power +12. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As long as Lin Xun killed one more Immortal god, he might be able to unseal the little dragonkin to the Immortal+ realm.

He still had an Eternal grade Divinity item in his pocket that had dropped after killing the Wet Nurse. Fortunately, he had held himself back all this time and had not used that Divine item ahead of time.

With the Wet Nurse’s Eternal Divinity, he could ascend in one leap to the realm of Eternal True God!

“Once I become a True God, I should finally be qualified to wrestle with the gods and Buddhas filling the heavens… and when I finally face the Extreme Delusion Fruit, I’ll at least have some confidence.”

As his Soul Authority improved, Lin Xun felt his spirit jolt. Just as he was about to grab a few more dice to test things out, he saw the game text begin jumping rapidly.

[…]

[The common people of Wusi City all stared out beyond the city with faces full of terror at the dragon race demon god standing there, afraid that after killing the Mother Buddha of All Evils, the demon god would casually reduce all of Wusi City to ashes as well.]

[Quite a few people in the city secretly began praying, calling upon that God and Buddha above the Mother Buddha of All Evils, the Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva.]

[They prayed for the Bodhisattva to manifest and suppress this demon god who dared to slay gods and execute Buddhas…]

[Endless incense wish-power drifted upward into the heavens, and in the unseen beyond, it seemed to alarm an extremely terrifying existence!]

[You sense it in your heart and suddenly raise your head to the sky…]

[Dense black clouds come rolling in from the horizon, completely covering the sky that had only just cleared. A stifling and silent thick darkness descends between heaven and earth…]

“Hell! Beat the small one, and now the old one shows up?”

According to the information he had obtained earlier, the Mother Buddha of All Evils was a subordinate god of Great Wisdom Endless Intent Bodhisattva, the left attendant of Ancient Heavenly Enma.

Now, the Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva being chanted by the people of Wusi City was obviously the Buddha title of that Bodhisattva after being corroded by Extreme Evil.

[Feeling the terrifying pressure descending from above the nine heavens, you understand that the enemy about to descend and manifest is absolutely not an existence your current self can contend against!]

[You beat your sky-covering dragon wings, stirring up a sandstorm gale, and swiftly flee from Wusi City toward the distance…]

[Suddenly, a giant palm wreathed in black qi pierces through layer upon layer of dark clouds, pressing down toward you from above the nine heavens!]

[That giant palm is as large as a city and formed from endless malice. With a world-destroying force, it slams toward you, intending to suppress and crush to death you, the one who has committed monstrous rebellion!]

[Seeing the Bodhisattva manifest, the people in the city all cry out the Buddha name of Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva…]

[As the giant palm descends over your head, that enormous hand covers all the sky in your vision. Just one finger joint of the hand is several times larger than your ancient dragon body.]

[You can even clearly see the savage palm lines in its center, deep and broad like a riverbed!]

[The intense pressure makes your chest feel tight and suffocated. The lock of that terrifying will makes even moving difficult. You understand that you are about to die beneath this giant palm!]

Lin Xun gritted his teeth as all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

He immediately switched Shells.

[You possess the Shell of the Polar Star Society Executor Who Gazes Upward!]

[Facing the world-destroying giant palm about to crush down upon you, you raise high the newly forged Immortal staff in your hand, the Hermes Twin-Serpent Scepter!]

[Starrealm Leap activated!]
