Chapter 3 Planning
Before formulating a plan that could be implemented, Luo Xiu conducted further analysis of the crisis incident.
Luo Xiu was not familiar with "Morning Town", the predecessor of Dusk Town, but he was quite familiar with "Blood of Thorns".
This group of cultists are enemies known as the "Top 3 Meng Newcomers" and the "King of Torture"!
This group of enemies believes in the [Red Lotus] destiny, and the first-level destiny of [Glory] that has not yet advanced to the extraordinary poses a limited threat to them.
After being prepared, Luo Xiu could only be sure to kill a blood disciple with the second level of [Red Lotus].
However, [Abyss] can make them all unable to return!
This is an extraordinary power that has not yet appeared in the "Apocalypse World" Fanor Continent at this time!
At this time, no one has seen it with their own eyes, and no one knows the power of [The Abyss]!
Luo Xiu has made a clear plan.
Originally, as a believer in [Glory], he could not embark on the path of [Abyss] at the same time, but for Luo Xiu, who possesses both the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" and the "Heart of Apocalypse", this is a matter of course.
Combining the power of [Glory] and [Abyss] is the cornerstone of Luo Xiu's plan. He will create his own extraordinary route bit by bit.
…
After preparing all the materials, Luo Xiu took out the Book of the Abyss from the stack of books and rubbed the sandy black cover.
With the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" in hand, he may be the only human being in the world so far who has a complete grasp of the destiny of the "Abyss".
——The strong men who truly followed the destiny of the abyss, those demons and the abyss races are still sealed at the bottom of the seven abyss.
The only surface ethnic group of the Abyss, the Ghost Clan, is still fighting with each other on the isolated Scarlet Continent. It can be called the Warring States Period in another world.
Therefore, Luo Xiu is not worried about being exposed.
There is no one of his kind on the continent of Fanor where he is currently.
However, Luo Xiu was not completely relieved. He was also thinking about other issues.
For example, the "uniqueness" of the Book of the Abyss... Is there another "Sacred Book of the Abyss" enshrined at the "bottom of the seven abyss" at this time?
If not, what would be the scene like in the abyss without the source of power...
These questions appeared and lingered in Luo Xiu's mind, but Luo Xiu didn't know the answer to the question, so he simply didn't think too much about it and returned his attention to the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss".
To continue reading the Abyss Book and learn the forbidden knowledge of the [Abyss], Luo Xiu needs to further improve his "divinity".
To be on the safe side, Luo Xiu must first increase his "divine" attribute to 13 points.
Before going out from the Glory Church, Luo Xiu had already tried to read the Book of Abyss. The divinity points required to read the first two pages were 8 and 10 points respectively.
This is a gamble, betting that the divine demand value on the third page is 12.
Only by exceeding the required attributes can you pass the judgment stably. If you lose the bet, you will suffer mental pollution...
However, if he is really embarrassed and suffers from mental pollution, Luo Xiu feels that he can get through it if his own attributes and the attributes he needs are not much different...
Luo Xiu just took this opportunity to test whether his player panel had some normal functions.
Luo Xiu stood up, his eyebrows lowered, and his hands placed lightly on his chest in a triangle shape.
“His name is the Forged Sun, His birth is glory, His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom…”
Luo Xiu whispered softly, and his body emitted a warm pale white light. In the center of the triangular tower formed by the fingers of his hands, a ball of golden light symbolizing sacredness slowly condensed.
After a long time.
[You complete "Basic Prayer (lv.1)" once]
[Acquire the "Prayer" effect, and the "Glory" fate skill effect is increased by 20%]
[Basic prayer (lv.1) skill proficiency +1, you gain 36 points of basic experience]
really! Luo Xiu felt happy in his heart.
Unlike NPCs, players have various ways to gain experience.
Among them, "using skills" to gain proficiency and experience points is one of the unique ways for players to gain experience.
Luo Xiu continued to pray.
“His name is the Forged Sun, His birth is glory, His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom…”
"..."
[You complete a "Basic Prayer" (lv.1)]
[Acquire the "Prayer" effect, and the "Glory" fate skill effect is increased by 20%]
[The effect is repeated and has been covered]
[Basic prayer (lv.1) skill proficiency +1, you gain 30 points of basic experience]
Each time you use a skill, mana will be consumed, and the experience gained will also decrease.
"..."
[Current main occupation: trainee priest (lv.1) can be upgraded to lv.2]
【Upgrade? (Automatic prompts can be turned off)]
After three rounds of prayer, he gained a total of more than 100 experience points. At this time, Luo Xiu's law bar was empty, but he also successfully reached the threshold of level 2.
"Confirm." Luo Xiu gave instructions in his mind. [The current main occupation "trainee priest" invests 102 experience points]
[Current main profession: "Trainee Priest" has been upgraded to lv.2! 】
[Get 1 point of free attribute! 】
Luo Xiu immediately raised his professional level to lv.2 and added this 1 point of free attribute to "divinity".
The sum of the career levels with the highest destiny is the value of the character level.
At the stage of the first level of life, every time you upgrade your character level, you can get one free attribute point, and you can freely add points to seven basic attributes.
Divinity point +1, Luo Xiu felt that in his mind, a group of figures with flowing light and shadow appeared faintly.
Luo Xiu seemed to be able to feel the unintentional glances from the gods. This feeling was very weak, insignificant, and disappeared suddenly.
After adding the "divine" attribute to 13 points, Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
And with the +1 divinity obtained through [Glory] prayer, Luo Xiu threw himself into the arms of [Abyss] and opened the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss"!
"This, this is not a kind of husband..." Luo Xiu shook his head.
The moment he opened the book of the abyss, a strange surge, like the whisper of the soul, struck Luo Xiu's mind.
Turning to the first page of the "Book of the Abyss", the divinity test was performed again as before.
[You looked directly at the taboo]
The bewitching voice lingered in his ears again, but with the lessons learned from the past time when he was almost lost, Luo Xiu tried hard to maintain his character and not be shaken by the bewitchment of the abyss.
[To trigger the "divinity" exemption judgment, the minimum divinity requirement is "8", and your divinity is "13"...]
[Successful exemption, immune to this mental pollution]
The weird soul whispers gradually faded away, and part of the forbidden knowledge of the "abyss" itself appeared in front of Luo Xiu.
It was an indescribable purple pattern, crawling slowly and slightly on the yellowed paper. It might be some kind of ancient writing, or it might just be some kind of pattern with a recording function.
At the same time, a prompt panel for unlocking a new extraordinary skill appeared in Luo Xiu's field of vision.
[Abyss Skill: Abyss Inscription (lv.1, to be learned)]
"Study." Luo Xiu gave instructions in his mind.
[Learned: Abyss Inscription (lv.1)]
[Acquire sub-professional: Abyss Waiter (lv.1)]
Luo Xiu felt that his head suddenly became dizzy, and a cold breath seemed to be flowing through his body.
After forcing himself to calm down and put himself in a relatively quiet and clear state, Luo Xiu began to feel the changes in himself.
Luo Xiu could feel that his soul seemed to resonate with something.
It was a seven-pointed star-shaped pattern, faintly emitting the darkest and deep black light, like a brand, engraved on the soul.
Continuing to flip through the second page of the "Book of Abyss", a prompt for passing the saving throw also popped up.
[You looked directly at the taboo]
[To trigger the "divinity" exemption judgment, the minimum divinity requirement is "10", and your divinity is "13"...]
[Successful exemption, immune to this mental pollution]
[Abyss Skill: Soul Manipulator (lv.1, to be learned)]
"Learn." Luo Xiu continued to give new instructions in his mind.
The newly acquired abyss skills appeared in Luo Xiu's "Character Panel - Fate Skills" column like a copy.
"Soul Manipulator" is a skill that can control the soul. This is an extraordinary skill that all paths of destiny will come into contact with, but it focuses on different functions, development and evolution.
In the skill tree of [Abyss] Life Path, "Soul Manipulator" can manipulate souls for various purposes, such as creating familiars, performing sacrifices, merging to produce higher-level souls, etc...
The success rate is related to the strength of the soul being controlled and the strength of the transcendent himself.
Luo Xiu's eyes were deep and his fingers were rubbing a corner of the page of the Abyss Book.
As if he had made some kind of determination, Luo Xiu turned over a new page.
[You looked directly at the taboo]
[To trigger the "divinity" exemption judgment, the minimum divinity requirement is "12", and your divinity is "13"...]
[Successful exemption, immune to this mental pollution]
[Abyss Skill: Summoning the Abyssal Beast (lv.1, to be learned)]
"...The bet was right!"
Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened the moment the prompt came out.
"That's it!"
