Chapter 89: Concept, Law, Player, Dominator, Tier 3

"Concept Power. Does merely wanting to advance to Tier 3 require the support of Concept Power?"

"My [Blazing Glory] talent, due to the [Player Template] and by carrying the authority of [Furnace], gained the blessing of Law Power, thus advancing to golden quality—"

"So, above Concept Power? Will it be Law Power?"

"Concept · Law—"

Bai Xuan looked up at the sky, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.

After a moment of thought, he seemed to grasp something.

"Player Template—Game World. This world is abnormal, not a normal world—why is it a game world? Because a game world has many game rules.."

"Killing monsters for drops is a rule, leveling up and allocating points is a rule, skill upgrades are a rule, equipment and weapons are a rule—everything is a rule."

"So,"

"The virus contained in that meteorite is a rule virus."

"Then the way to clear this game is to kill the mother of the virus and become the strongest Player?"

"No!"

"Of course not!"

"How can defeating the final BOSS and becoming the strongest Player compare to becoming the true Dominator of the game world, controlling all its rules?"

"This is the key to clearing the game!"

"How can the strongest Player compare to the developer of the game world?"

The core of the black armor was a piece of dark material, shaped like a heart, but with some differences.

Bai Xuan held it, and a golden flame suddenly surged.

Impurities turned to ash, and a wisp of Concept Power representing Defense was extracted by Bai Xuan and integrated into his body.

Thus,

Bai Xuan's Defense also received a certain enhancement.

"Tier, rank, extraordinary, concept, Law. I seem to have underestimated the true meaning of extraordinary, and also underestimated the true meaning represented by life tiers—"

"From Tier 0 to Tier 1, it's merely a preliminary grasp of extraordinary power."

"From Tier 1 to Tier 2, however, requires Awakening an extraordinary talent, mastering extraordinary energy, and upon becoming a Tier 2 lifeform, becoming a half-energy, half-flesh lifeform."

"This not only grants a longer lifespan but also a more tenacious vitality. Most modern weapons find it difficult to harm Tier 2 lifeforms."

"If one becomes a Tier 3 lifeform and integrates Concept Power into their essence, Qi, and spirit, what are modern weapons in the face of Concept Power?"

"They are nothing!"

"This disparity is a dimensionality reduction strike! It's a difference in rank!"

"Moreover, after becoming a Tier 3 lifeform, one also has the qualification to master Law Power. What is Law Power?"

"The reason this parallel world became a game world is because of Law Power."

"If I master powerful Law Power, I could even transform the real world into a game world, making other lifeforms into Players as defined by me."

Thinking of this, Bai Xuan seemed to completely see his future path.

"It seems my fortuitous encounter is much greater than I had estimated."

"The upgrade system of the Player Template is also much more powerful than I had estimated."

"Of course,"

"This is a good thing."

"Then, next, I shall continue north."

Cangshan City.

A figure appeared as if out of thin air, right before Bai Xuan's eyes.

This caused Bai Xuan's pupils to involuntarily contract.

[Tier 3 Virus Symbiote]

"An interesting existence."

"But you shouldn't exist."

It looked like an ordinary human.

But its body was covered in dark, grotesque patterns, and its eyes glowed with a faint green light as it launched an attack.

Its fists, feet, knees, and elbows transformed into streaks of afterimages.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

Its speed was too fast.

Golden radiance had just begun to spill from his body when Bai Xuan was struck hundreds of times.

If Bai Xuan hadn't just integrated a wisp of Defense Concept Power into his body.

He might have died instantly.

However, even with half his body shattered, Bai Xuan was still alive.

And that golden [Blazing Glory True Flame], even though not yet pure, still possessed extremely powerful Defense and healing abilities.

The [Blazing Glory True Flame], like light and fire, like thunder and lightning, solidified in an instant, transforming into a simple yet extremely powerful golden armor.

"[Tier 3 Virus Symbiote]. I thought that after my [Blazing Glory] gained the effect of transcending tiers, I would be able to kill monsters above my level. I didn't expect a Tier 3 monster to be so terrifying."

"In just an instant, I was beaten half to death."

"Fortunately, this [Tier 3 Virus Symbiote] is only incredibly fast; its attack power isn't that strong, otherwise I would already be dead."

"No."

"I can't fight at all; I should retreat immediately."

"Under the influence of the rules, this monster should not be able to leave Cangshan City."

Using the impact force of the enemy's attack, Bai Xuan's figure flew backward directly.

This [Tier 3 Virus Symbiote], as Bai Xuan had predicted, was unable to leave Cangshan City due to Law Power, which caused it to show a look of regret.

"I didn't expect a mere Tier 2 lifeform to be so resilient."

"I was too hasty."

"Hey, since you're not dead, why don't we chat? I'm really bored being trapped in Cangshan City."

After giving the [Tier 3 Virus Symbiote] a deep look, Bai Xuan said nothing, turned, and left directly.

"I was careless; I didn't expect a Tier 3 lifeform to be so much stronger than a Tier 2 lifeform."

"This monster must have mastered Speed Concept Power, and its Speed Concept Power is even close to sublimating into Speed Law Power."

"Such speed is truly terrifying."

"It can launch hundreds of attacks in less than a millisecond."

"I almost died."

"But this also gave me a reminder."

"I shouldn't rush north."

"Using Cangshan City as a boundary, I should kill all the monsters to the south, collect enough energy, nourishment, and Concept Power."

"Until I become extremely strong, unable to grow stronger, then I will continue north."

As soon as this idea emerged, Bai Xuan went directly to the neighboring Huangyang City.

"Boom—Rumble—Rumble!!!"

Heavenly thunder ignited earth fire, and the soaring flames brought Bai Xuan a large amount of energy and nourishment.

Using this energy and nourishment, Bai Xuan transformed his stomach.
