Chapter 127: Chapter127-Taking Control of the World Tree, Activating the Fate Lottery

[You have killed the platinum-grade boss Lashir Lv.150. Gained EXP +10 billion, gold coins +10 million, Fame +100 million!]

[You have plundered the Spirit of the World Tree!]

[You have plundered the SS-rank equipment World Tree Crown!]

[World Tree Crown]

[Attributes]: Defense +500,000, HP recovery +10,000/second

[Effect]: After equipping it, you can transform into the World Tree. Your defense and HP recovery will increase by 10 times!

[Description]: The incarnation of the World Tree’s shadow. After wearing it, you are the one and only king of the World Tree!

...

[Congratulations, player. You have taken control of the upper layer of the World Tree. The World Tree Worldfall Ruins Token has been unlocked!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained three ruin dungeons. The Fate Lottery has been unlocked!]

...

A continuous stream of notification chimes rang out.

John could no longer even remember exactly how many things he had obtained.

Right now, he only cared about one thing: the lottery!

With a thought from John—

The next moment, a crystal-clear shard appeared before his eyes.

This Fateshard shimmered with dazzling light.

A notification popped up.

[You currently have two Fate Lottery chances. Use them?]

"Fateshard. Two lottery chances!"

John’s breathing paused slightly.

He immediately said, "Draw!"

As soon as his voice fell—

In the next moment, countless lights and shadows of various colors evolved within the Fateshard.

Among them were special items, S-rank talents, S-rank skills, special dungeon scrolls, hidden classes, S-rank Pet Eggs, countless gold coins, Fame, EXP...

In short, as long as an item existed in this game, it was within the Fateshard’s lottery range!

...

As the lights and shadows within the Fateshard evolved faster and faster—

A look of anticipation appeared in John’s eyes.

Just looking at how long it had taken him to collect the three Worldfall Ruins was enough to prove how difficult it was to obtain a lottery chance from this Fateshard.

Thinking back on the past—

In order to collect the three Worldfall Ruins, John had first gone to Zone 4, snatching Dragonkin Isle from the jaws of danger and taking it into his possession.

Then he had teleported to Zone 1 and relied on his clone to forcibly seize Leviathan Palace.

Finally, he had returned to Zone 5 and launched two separate attacks before finally taking down the last World Tree ruin.

As for all the "hardships" involved, John did not even want to mention them anymore.

Fortunately, the Fateshard had now begun to operate.

All of it had been worth it!

All of a sudden—

The Fateshard’s evolution abruptly stopped.

The final image of light and shadow froze on a special item.

It was a blood-red contract.

The words on the contract were like fresh blood, slowly flowing across the surface.

"This is..."

A notification instantly rang beside John’s ear!

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Wager Pact ×1!]

The contract appeared in John’s hand.

"Wager Pact. It sounds a little like my Wager Decree?"

Curious, John unfolded it and began reading carefully.

The Wager Pact was covered in dense lines of text.

However, he could not understand it.

"Forget it. When in doubt, use detection!"

John did not hesitate. He decisively threw a detection spell at it.

The next moment, the detailed contents of the Wager Pact appeared before his eyes.

[Wager Pact]（Can lock onto a target）

[Type]: Special Item

[Effect]: After use, you may forcibly make any Zone 1 sign a Wager Pact with the host and enter a Wager War!

[Description]: A contract upon the gambling table. Its terror does not lie in the contract itself, but in human greed.

When greed overcomes a person’s conscience, this Wager War will drag everyone at the gambling table into hell!

The side that loses the wager will completely withdraw from the stage of historical competition!

[Additional Note]: Do not attempt this lightly, or you will lose everything you have wagered!

...

"It’s another wager?"

"But this time, it’s different. I can actually wager against an entire zone."

"If I use it, I can forcibly choose all the players of an entire zone to enter a wager against me."

"If I win, I can directly take all of the other side’s wager."

After John thoroughly understood it, he nodded slightly.

This Wager Pact was still very useful.

It could be used specifically against certain troublesome zones.

In the future, if any zone acted especially rebellious, he could immediately use this and harvest that entire zone in one go.

"Not bad, not bad. I’ll keep it for now."

John casually placed it into his backpack.

At present, the various zones were still developing. It was not yet time to use it.

...

After that, John began his second draw.

The Fateshard changed continuously, eventually freezing on an altar with a strange design.

[Congratulations, player. You have drawn the Special Structure "Bloodline Altar"!]

"Bloodline Altar?"

John was somewhat puzzled. He began checking its detailed information.

[Bloodline Altar]

[Type]: Special Structure

[Effect]: It may be placed within a player main city to obtain the Bloodline Refinement function.

[Description]: A Special Structure developed by the ancient human race. It possesses the function of unlocking hidden talents within the human body’s bloodline. It is extremely unique, and was the necessary path for generations of humans to awaken talents.

...

"Hidden bloodline talents?"

"There’s actually something like this?"

"It sounds a little similar to the function players use when drawing talents upon entering the game."

John’s eyes lit up.

He immediately placed this structure in Overlord City.

After choosing an empty area within Overlord City, he decisively selected the placement option.

[Place the Bloodline Altar at Overlord City（382, 187）?]

[Note: Once this structure is placed, it cannot be relocated!]

"Yes."

John chose to place it without the slightest hesitation.

The next moment—

A pitch-black altar, reeking faintly of blood, appeared in a corner of Overlord City.

[Bloodline Altar placed successfully!]

[Overlord City players may freely head to the altar and refine their bloodline power!]

[Note: This altar has already connected with this heaven and earth!]

...

"Connected with this heaven and earth?"

John raised an eyebrow. For the time being, he could not quite understand what that sentence meant.

But it did not matter. It would not stop him from going to the Bloodline Altar first to see what was going on.

His figure flashed.

The next moment, he appeared beside the Bloodline Altar.

Looking at the pitch-black altar, he walked toward it step by step.

The altar’s related information immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Bloodline Altar]

[Type]: Special Structure

[Level]: Level 1

[Eligible Users]: Overlord City players

[Functions]:

Overlord City players may ascend the altar, refine their bloodline, and awaken a bloodline trait talent.

Trait talents awaken randomly and are equivalent to player talents.

At the current altar level, each player may refine their bloodline at most once.

It may reevaluate a player based on their current talent rank.

After the evaluation, the player may receive attribute bonuses of different ranks.

At the current building level, the highest talent rank that can be evaluated is S-rank.

[EXP required for next upgrade]: 0 / 1,000,000

...

"So this is the detailed function of the Bloodline Altar?"

"It’s basically equivalent to awakening a second talent."

After reading it, John’s eyes became somewhat excited.
