117: Mass baptism, collapse and sell slip

Time flowed slowly, and this Ten Thousand Races Pride War concluded, with the final ten thousand surviving contestants emerging.

During this time, Lin Chen did not actively attack; he only eliminated a few unlucky individuals who stumbled upon him, but he was too lazy to act against other contestants as long as they didn't provoke him.

He didn't go invincible, sweeping the entire arena and gathering all points onto himself; he just stayed quiet, entirely out of respect for Misha Venerable God, especially for that Causality-type divine item.

In the past few days, he had already figured out what the Causality-type divine item Misha Venerable God compensated him with was.

The black and white stone was named destiny ring stone; though its name suggested a destiny-type treasure, it was actually a pure Causality-type treasure, reaching the Upper God tier.

The destiny ring stone had only one function.

By inputting enough Causality Power into the destiny ring stone, one could rewrite past causal events through it, and the causality backlash from the rewrite would be borne by the destiny ring stone.

This kind of treasure was the ultimate cheat for Causality Dao practitioners.

Rewriting causality was the most basic ability of Causality Dao practitioners, innately mastered.

However, rewriting causality required enduring backlash; the greater the ripple caused by the rewritten causality, the stronger the backlash, so unless absolutely necessary, the ability to rewrite causality was generally not used.

Now with the destiny ring stone, Lin Chen's ability to rewrite causality could be utilized; although there were many restrictions, it was finally a start, allowing him to employ the ability to rewrite causality.

With just the destiny ring stone as a gain, Lin Chen had already profited immensely; other gains could only be considered minor additions.

The Ten Thousand Races Pride War ended, and the ten thousand surviving contestants left the desolate arena, gathering on the award platform.

Lin Chen only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he arrived on a tiered architectural structure.

The tiered structure had a thousand steps, and each step held ten surviving contestants.

Lin Chen stood on the topmost tier of the structure, with nine others beside him, all prodigies from Missah God Country; the familiar faces Missar·Yuanhai, Gu·Fusheng, and Liu·Midu were also among them.

Clearly, these ten individuals on this tier were the top ten prodigies of this Ten Thousand Races Pride War, with Lin Chen undeniably in first place.

The moment Liu·Midu saw Lin Chen, she quietly shifted her feet, folded her wings, and hid behind the wings of others, not wanting Lin Chen to see her.

The tiered space was quite large; Lin Chen occupied one side alone, while the other nine stayed on the other side. Except for the reckless individuals who only knew how to kill and didn't understand the truth, everyone knew Lin Chen's power, and they were very wary of him.

Lin Chen didn't care about the gazes of others; he just idly looked down the steps.

Out of ten thousand prodigies, nine thousand were from Missah God Country, and the remaining one thousand were from the Ten Thousand Races; this proportion was quite normal.

Among the Ten Thousand Races prodigies, there were also strong individuals; no matter how powerful Missah God Country was, its own prodigies could not possibly monopolize all the rankings; there would always be anomalies that would rise and write legends.

A quarter of an hour passed, and ten thousand streams of light descended from the sky, precisely striking the ten thousand prodigies on the steps.

Within the streams of light were the resource rewards corresponding to their rankings in this Ten Thousand Races Pride War.

Lin Chen, being first place, received the most generous resources.

Ten thousand origin coins, one Upper God item, ten Mid-tier God items, one hundred Lower God items, and three sets of conventional cultivation resources capable of cultivating from the Demigod stage to the Lower God level.

In terms of resources, there wasn't much novelty; after a quick glance, Lin Chen found them to be mostly ordinary resources, with each item being of a mediocre level within its respective tier.

Among this batch of resources, there really wasn't anything that made Lin Chen's eyes light up or that he could use immediately; they were all items that required secondary processing or time to digest and absorb, making them somewhat of a mixed blessing.

After the physical resources were distributed, the next step was Qi Luck 부여 (bestowal) and Misa Baptism.

Qi Luck 부여 (bestowal) was essentially plunder.

The Doushen Arena plundered the Qi Luck of deceased prodigies, refined it through a complex process, and transformed it into Heaven and Earth Qi Luck that could be absorbed and solidified by living beings, with one point of Qi Luck being one unit.

Lin Chen, being first place, was rewarded with one hundred units of Qi Luck.

The second-place winner received ninety units of Qi Luck, and the third place received eighty units, ten less.

The seven prodigies from fourth to tenth place each received fifty units of Qi Luck, while those from eleventh to one hundredth place each received thirty units of Qi Luck.

Lin Chen didn't care about others' gains; he only knew that his own gains were already substantial, and whatever he got in the end was an unexpected bonus.

One hundred units of Qi Luck integrated into his body, and Lin Chen's Qi Luck Soul Garment rapidly devoured the incoming Qi Luck, converting it into the Human Race Qi Luck he needed.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen completely absorbed the Qi Luck bestowed by the Doushen Arena, and his Qi Luck value reached 197 points. With this level of Qi Luck, he could be considered extremely lucky, with the probability of encountering opportunities just by stepping out increasing to 50%.

With the Qi Luck bestowal concluded, the Misa Baptism began.

The so-called Misa Baptism was a form of truth blessing.

Beings who reached the Main God tier could expend divine power to embed their self-defined rules into Heaven and Earth. These rules, set by a Main God, were given a different name, "Truth," to distinguish them from natural rules.

Misa Baptism was a rule embedded by Misha Venerable God into Heaven and Earth, which could enhance the recipient's aptitude by 1% to 10%, adjust the user's state, and further evolve their divine body.

As the baptism began, Lin Chen felt as if he were in a maternal environment, experiencing a talent activation state once more, though this state was not as perfect compared to the talent activation state.

With the manifestation of Truth, all ten thousand prodigies on the tiered structure were immersed in the wonderful state of aptitude enhancement.

Time flowed by, minute by minute, and one prodigy after another emerged from the baptism. The lower the ranking of the prodigy, the earlier they emerged, and the less enhancement they received from the baptism.

Three days later, Lin Chen awakened.

At this moment, he was the only one left on the tiered structure; everyone else had clearly woken up earlier than him.

"Very good, aptitude has increased by another 10%, comparable to a weakened talent activation."

Lin Chen briefly perceived himself and understood that he had received the full effects of the Misa Baptism, with all enhancements being at their maximum.

Current Aptitude:

Physical Strength: 86.48 + 172.96 = 259.44 (Limit)

Soul Strength: 99.61 + 199.22 = 298.83 (Limit)

Elemental Strength: 83.03 + 166.06 = 249.09 (Limit)

Elemental Resistance: 76.35 + 152.7 = 229.05 (Limit)

Comprehension: 96.39 + 192.78 = 289.17 (Limit)

Bone Structure: 90.16 + 180.32 = 270.48 (Limit)

Spirituality: 91.72 + 183.44 = 275.16 (Limit)

With a significant increase in aptitude, Lin Chen's cultivation speed would only become faster and faster. Before he turned 30, he estimated he could cultivate to God Ascension First Order or Second Order.

This was without even calculating further increases in aptitude, or obtaining other opportunities that could directly affect him. Perhaps there would be future surprises that could elevate his cultivation by one or two minor tiers before he turns 30.

After the Misa Baptism ended, Lin Chen was kicked out of the tiered structure and appeared at the Two-Body Clan's station (outpost) in Missah God City.

Misha Venerable God naturally knew that the Two-Body Clan had been assimilated by the Human Race, but he had not taken any action against the Two-Body Clan; he merely monitored them closely. As long as the Two-Body Clan did not violate the rules set by Missah God Country, he would not express anything.

At the Two-Body Clan's station (outpost), as soon as Lin Chen appeared, he was warmly received by the Two-Body Clan's leader.

He clearly knew how powerful Lin Chen was and how brilliant his future would be, so he desperately wanted to cling to him and find Lin Chen as a backer. Even if he couldn't be a backer, he had to leave a good impression.

Lin Chen didn't just accept any subordinate; the Two-Body Clan was clearly not within his recruitment standards.

The main reason was that the Two-Body Clan was located near Missah God Country, within the sphere of influence of the Yisha God Race. Lin Chen had no room for development here, so he naturally didn't need subordinates from this area.

Moreover, the Two-Body Clan clearly had a layout by the Federation's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he naturally couldn't disrupt it. If he took the Two-Body Clan away, it would obviously interfere with the Federation's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' actions, and he would not do such a thing that disregarded the Federation's interests.

After chatting with the Two-Body Clan leader for a few words, Lin Chen prepared to leave after collecting the resources earned from the betting pool. Missah God Country had already blacklisted him, so there was no further exploration value.

All the resources from the betting pool were converted into origin coins by Lin Chen.

One origin coin corresponded to one trillion federal currency, or ten thousand academic credits and military merits, but no one would exchange origin coins for federal currency, academic credits, and military merits, which were second-tier currencies.

Origin coins were the basic currency among high-tier cultivators; even gods would use them, so they were extremely precious and an important voucher for purchasing high-level resources.

Through the betting pool, Lin Chen obtained seventeen thousand origin coins, which was already a huge sum, but he had no immediate need to use them, so they could only be kept as a reserve for now.

However, money gives courage; with money on hand, if he encountered problems that required money, he could directly solve them with money, avoiding unnecessary complications and troubles.

After accepting the origin coins, Lin Chen was still thinking about how to leave Missah God Country when, in a blink of an eye, he was kicked into a teleportation passage, heading towards an unknown destination.

"Tsk, just as I thought. If I don't leave, they'll just kick me out."

Lin Chen had no choice but to accept his current fate of being carried along by the current. Since he wasn't as strong as them, he could only endure such treatment.
