329: Chapter 328 The Universal System is About to Be Launched

Chu Xuan had wanted to clarify this issue for a long time.

However, because he had died multiple times in succession during the last dream, he was worried that [Future Tang Zheng] would be struck dead by lightning, so he hadn't asked much.

This was only the first dream of the day, and [Future Tang Zheng] had grown stronger, so Chu Xuan didn't have to worry as much.

However, the other party's subsequent answer only deepened the confusion in Chu Xuan's heart.

[Tang Zheng: I can't explain this clearly either; it's just that at that moment, I suddenly had an inexplicable premonition that you would die in a nuclear explosion.

I wasn't sure if the premonition was accurate at the time, but following the principle of 'better safe than sorry,' I chose to tell you about it immediately.]

Chu Xuan: [In that case, does this mean that some of the things I do in my dreams will also affect the future?]

[Tang Zheng: No, it doesn't. Because in your last dream, my memories didn't change to include you being killed by a nuclear bomb in the capital.

This means your dreams are still just dreams and haven't interfered with reality. If you could truly do that, then your Talent would be far more powerful than it already is.]

Interfere with reality?

Chu Xuan suddenly thought about how he absorbed spirit money in his dreams, and when he woke up, the corresponding spirit money would crumble into dust. Wasn't that equivalent to interfering with reality?

Furthermore, killing Specters in the dream granted spirituality value, but those Specters remained unharmed after he woke up. This was completely different from the situation with the crushed spirit money. What was the reason?

Chu Xuan wanted to ask for [Future Tang Zheng]'s opinion, but after a brief thought, he realized there were more pressing issues at hand. He set it aside for now; he needed to prioritize the most urgent matters.

[Chu Xuan: Just now, there was a nationwide tremor, and a 48-hour countdown appeared in front of everyone. What's going on? Do I need to take any countermeasures?]

[Tang Zheng: In 48 hours, the Universal System will open. Everyone will be able to choose to bind with the System without any limitations!]

As expected!

This confirmed Chu Xuan's previous suspicion.

[Tang Zheng: The existence of the System is a counterattack mechanism from our real world against the Dark World. It is an embodiment of rules presented in a way people can understand to help them grow stronger quickly.

However, correspondingly, after these 48 hours, the various attribute values that can be increased through the System at each Rank will become fixed.

The clever method of pursuing a single attribute increase and then making up for weaknesses through specialized training will no longer be feasible.

This means that after reaching Rank 10, unless special means are used, it will be almost impossible to undergo the Rank Advancement Trial with Perfection attribute values. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's certain death.]

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. He didn't have to worry about this because his various attribute values had long since exceeded the limit.

Next, he only planned to continue breaking through his limits and increasing his basic attributes through savage blood fruits, which had nothing to do with the System.

But Chu Xuan still asked: [What about after the Rank advancement? Will it not be affected?]

[Tang Zheng: When you enter the next stage, it means your body has undergone Fusion with rule fragments, and your life level has changed. Once you convert to real attribute, everything will be different.

The higher your Rank, the weaker the suppression of the rules. Additionally, each time your Rank increases, you will receive extra real attribute points to allocate.]

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.

This was unexpected; gaining attribute points from leveling up—there was actually such a benefit?

[Tang Zheng: However, correspondingly, the cost of increasing real attribute will also be higher.

During the first stage, you can directly increase your basic attributes through spirituality value; this is actually a gift from the world to everyone.

But once you reach the second stage, increasing real attribute is far from simple.

I can't go into specific details, but in short, you need to increase your basic attributes as much as possible during the first stage so that more real attribute will be converted during the Rank advancement.]

Chu Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately replied:

[All my attributes have reached 130 points, which is already well beyond the normal limit.

However, while in the capital, I discovered a special place that should also be another world, where a fruit called the savage blood fruit exists.

Consuming this fruit actually allows me to break the limit and continue increasing my basic attributes. Does this count as the special means you mentioned? Will it be affected by the rule suppression after 48 hours?]

[Tang Zheng: savage blood fruit? You actually encountered such a good thing; your luck is truly Heaven-Defying! This is a Heaven And Earth Treasure that can improve your Physique and deepen your potential!

Although the effect isn't obvious with small amounts, if you can consume it in large quantities, there will be a significant difference, especially when used in the initial stage—it can greatly increase your upper limit! And once you advance in Rank, you'll soon experience the benefits!]

Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

In that case, the savage blood fruit was truly something he must obtain!

[Tang Zheng: But there's one thing you must remember: while breaking the limit offers many benefits, you should still advance in Rank in a timely manner when the time is right. You must strike the right balance and not lose sight of the big picture for small gains.

Especially under the interference of various current rules, S-rank Specters are no longer rare, and most of them possess corresponding death rules.

Without the corresponding Rank and real stamina attributes, no matter how high your health points are, once these rules are triggered, you will certainly die.]

[Tang Zheng: Also, find a way to remind everyone to make up for any large gaps in their basic attributes as quickly as possible within these 48 hours.

This is because in this Early Stage, the more Transcendents who can advance and gain real attribute, the better.

However, remember not to explain why. Before you advance in Rank, you likely won't be able to withstand the Lightning Punishment caused by revealing the future.]

Chu Xuan's eyes swept over the text, and he immediately replied: [I understand.]

[Tang Zheng: I've revealed too many forbidden secrets about the future today, so let's end the conversation here. I feel the Lightning Punishment is about to descend again. Before that, do you have any other questions?]

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

From between the lines, he noticed that this [Future Tang Zheng] seemed much more composed than before and wasn't afraid of the appearance of the Lightning Punishment.

Chu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and continued to ask:

[I encountered Yan Guofa; he is one of the Supervisory Commissioners among the Night Watchers. During our contact, I found his behavior a bit strange. Do you have any impression of him? In the future, as for Yan Guofa, did he become a World Traitor, or is he related to the Resurrection Society?]}],
