492: Nine Stars!

"Chosen Ones can even devour each other?"

"And what are their System abilities..."

Instantly, Lin Chen felt a sense of urgency.

How long had it been since he obtained the System? In real time, it had only been a little over a decade.

Then those other eight Chosen Ones, how many years had they had their Systems?

"System, you said just now that the Chosen Ones will definitely meet in the future."

"Is there a time limit involved, or can Systems sense each other?"

"Also, the other Chosen Ones—how long have they had their Systems?"

Lin Chen asked again with a solemn expression.

"Host, the time at which each Chosen One obtained their System is different."

"The reason I say Chosen Ones will definitely meet is that once the System is upgraded to its final Rank, Systems will be able to sense and locate each other."

"Final Rank?"

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good. He still had time.

Otherwise, if he encountered some Old Schemer who had possessed a System for countless eons, how could he compete? He admitted his own System's ability was extremely perverted.

But that didn't mean he was absolutely immortal.

Lin Chen currently had one fatal weakness.

That was, if his original body in the real world was located and killed, he would die!

This was also the only flaw of Dreamland Traversal.

If another Chosen One could directly locate and sense his true original body, it would be very dangerous... At this thought, Lin Chen instantly broke into a cold sweat.

The pressure from the System was truly too strong!

Right now, he was very curious about what abilities the other eight Systems possessed.

"Sign-in System?"

"Infinite Save-Reload System?"

"Task Reward System?"

"Copy System?"

...Lin Chen did come from a past life, after all.

There, he naturally knew of many Heaven-Defying Systems... If he really encountered a Chosen One with that kind of System, defeating them wouldn't be as easy as his past enemies.

"System, is there a difference in strength among the Systems of the nine Chosen Ones?"

"Apologies, Host, I cannot answer this question for you yet."

"..."

Insufficient Rank again... Lin Chen looked at the upgrade option on the system panel and found that this upgrade actually required 1 billion cores.

The Energy Points consumption had increased a thousandfold!

Fortunately, 1 billion cores was still acceptable to him; it was just a matter of selling a few Divine Artifacts.

Right, Divine Artifacts!

Lin Chen looked at the reward column that had just appeared on the system panel.

With a thought, the reward column expanded.

Immediately, countless transcendence level Divine Artifacts appeared.

"System, is transcendence level the highest Rank for weapons and treasures?"

Soon, the system spirit's childlike voice rang out.

"Host, the highest grade for weapons and treasures is the transcendence level."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

Then he continued to ask:

"Then is six stars the highest Rank for Divine Venerable Aptitude?"

"Host, the maximum Aptitude for a Divine Venerable is six stars."

"But that's not the case for those above Divine Venerable."

"In the three stages of the God Realm—Divine Venerable, God Emperor, and God Dao—there is an opportunity at each stage to increase one's star-Rank Aptitude once more."

"Theoretically, the highest Aptitude can reach nine stars!"

"However, that requires a massive amount of Energy Points. You will still need to work hard to acquire more Energy Points, Host."

"Nine stars?"

Lin Chen's pupils constricted sharply.

He was just asking casually; he hadn't expected to uncover such a big secret!

He currently had six-star Aptitude.

Six-star Aptitude was already this powerful; he couldn't imagine how perverted nine-star Aptitude would be!

Among the other eight Chosen Ones, were there any with nine-star Aptitude?

Lin Chen was now incredibly curious about those other Chosen Ones... Pulling his thoughts back, Lin Chen continued to browse the list of Divine Artifacts.

Defense-type, attack-type, Comprehension Ability amplification-type... There were many, many types, and Lin Chen felt dizzy looking at them all.

Every single one was extremely powerful!

For example, one Comprehension Ability amplification Divine Artifact could boost Comprehension Ability by a billion times!

What kind of concept was that!

One must know that Lin Chen's 120-million-fold Comprehension Ability boost was already comparable to a God Emperor's.

A billion-fold boost—wouldn't that go straight to the level of a God Dao Realm expert's Comprehension Ability!

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Chen ultimately gave up on choosing this type of Divine Artifact.

He planned to choose a long saber.

A weapon was exactly what he lacked most right now!

"System, is there a long saber that is compatible with my Dao?"

Lin Chen asked tentatively.

"Host's Dao is the Origin True One Great Dao. I am searching for you now."

A moment later, information about a long saber appeared on the system panel.

Immediately, Lin Chen's eyes lit up as he looked closely.

"true one saber (transcendence level)"

"(This saber was not forged, nor was it naturally formed. It was condensed from the sole wisp of 'True One Qi' at the dawn of the Universe's birth. It can amplify divine ability power by 12 times!)"

"12 times?"

"That much! Wasn't it 8 times?"

Lin Chen's eyelids twitched wildly, his face showing excitement.

After thinking for just a moment, he realized.

This saber had the Origin True One Great Dao attribute; it was compatible with his Dao!

That was why the amplification was so exaggerated!

If another Divine Venerable used it, it would only provide an 8-fold boost.

Because the amplification of Divine Artifacts and Divine Ability battle techniques was the same; the Primal True One Saber Art Lin Chen mastered was an 8-fold boost... "As expected, it's better to use weapons of the same attribute."

"It's just that forging a weapon with the Origin True One Great Dao attribute is too difficult. If not for the System's reward this time, I probably would never have owned such a weapon in the real world..."

"If this saber were placed in the Heavenly Palace Realm, its value would be immeasurable..."

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Chen knew he couldn't sell this saber.

If such a weapon appeared, he would have no way to explain its Origin.

Furthermore, regarding the value of a transcendence level weapon, he doubted even Karl, as the General Manager, could afford it.

"I'll choose this one!"

In the next moment.

A long saber appeared in the void in front of Lin Chen.

The saber was entirely glazed white, pure and without a single flaw.

A faint film of light flowed over the blade.

With a slight sense, Lin Chen understood.

This film of light was the power radiation of the Origin True One Qi.

When he performed saber techniques and activated this film of light, it would greatly amplify the Dao's power!

As the Dao's power increased, the corresponding divine ability power would also increase!

Now, the Origin True One Great Dao had already fused with Lin Chen's Physical Body.

An increase in any of the three types of power would allow his divine ability power to increase!

"Now, with a full-power outburst, I should have a 23-fold boost."

"That would be over 50,000 divine ability power!"

"This kind of power..."

At this moment, Lin Chen urgently wanted to verify his own combat strength!

Looking at the system panel, he found that the only change in this System upgrade was the addition of a system spirit.

However, the appearance of this system spirit was very useful.

The system spirit knew a lot of information that Lin Chen didn't.

In the future, when he encountered problems in his cultivation, he could try to communicate with the system spirit.

He wouldn't have to guess every time... This was a complete System!

"Energy Points are insufficient; I need to go hunting again."

The corners of Lin Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and then he put away the long saber.

Going to the Guixu Realm for a battle would also allow him to know his own combat strength!

Buzz—

His figure instantly vanished.

This time, he also wanted to deduce transcendence level Body Techniques and Secret Arts.

When that happened, his combat strength boost would increase even further!
