Chapter 659: Chapter 264: Commanding Clouds and Rain, Controlling Thunder and Lightning
Lin Ye’s eyes flickered.
He saw no reason to refuse.
As he ventured into more and more Rift Realms, he could feel the weight of karma accumulating around him.
In order to deconstruct the source code within the Fire Seed Source and reboot the starship slumbering deep in Charon’s core, he would have to make a trip to the Celestial Abyss Third World.
And now, a Dragon-Riding Bell and a world quest were pointing his future toward the Celestial Abyss Fifth World—Akasha.
It was as if an unseen hand was paving the road ahead for him from the shadows.
Without much hesitation, Lin Ye chose to accept.
[Ding! You have accepted the unique side world quest: Homecoming!]
The moment he made his choice!
BZZZZ—!!!
On the altar, the pure white sphere of light, which had been floating silently, suddenly erupted with billions of dazzling, resplendent rays!
An energy so majestic it defied description instantly flooded the entire Earth Core Space!
In the distance, Liliana and Regner, under this vast divine might, didn’t even have the courage to lift their heads. They prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Before their utterly shocked eyes, the sphere of light transformed into a streak of light and shot straight into the center of Lin Ye’s brow!
At the same time, the ethereal image of the Dragon King coiled around the sphere, as if its final mission was complete, began to slowly shrink its massive body. It dissolved into motes of light before fading into nothingness.
"The Ancestor... Could it be... he’s been acknowledged...!" Liliana’s draconic eyes were filled with endless shock and fervor.
Lin Ye, however, furrowed his brows slightly.
He could clearly feel an incredibly dense and terrifying mass of energy now residing deep within his Sea of Consciousness and his body.
The level of this energy far surpassed his current realm of understanding, and it was mixed with a tsunami-like torrent of information.
But this power was like something locked away in the world’s most secure vault.
He could see it and feel it, but he couldn’t use even a shred of it.
’It’s just like that Fire Seed Source I got before,’ Lin Ye grumbled inwardly, ’another thing I can look at but can’t use.’ But he didn’t dwell on it.
After all, it was just being stored in his body; it didn’t affect his movements or his ability to fight.
Lin Ye calmed his mind. Now he finally had time to properly take stock of his gains from this trip to the Celestial Dragon’s Nest.
The next moment, the system panel unfolded before his eyes.
However, a single glance was enough to leave Lin Ye stunned.
His gaze fell upon the Life Energy column, and he felt a little dazed.
[Life Energy: 831,455]
’Over eight hundred thousand?!’
Lin Ye remembered clearly that before entering the Celestial Dragon’s Nest, he had accumulated a little over 100,000 Life Energy.
In his battle against Xia Lianxue, he had used up half of it to strengthen a blast of Celestial Flame Dragon Breath.
’The remaining balance should only be around fifty thousand.’
Lin Ye pondered for a moment before it dawned on him.
The system seemed to have counted all the minions he subjugated as his kills!
Those three hundred thousand-plus members of the Dragon Race—he had received the full reward for them, both in experience points and the corresponding Life Energy!
This was a huge, unexpected windfall!
At this rate, he was just a stone’s throw away from the one million Life Energy needed to unlock the hidden effect of the Devouring Heaven and Earth mechanism.
Looking at this massive amount of Life Energy, Lin Ye’s mind started racing with calculations.
Previously, because his Life Energy had always been tight, he had never been willing to spend it on converting attributes.
But now that he had a surplus, it was time to test this function’s effectiveness.
Lin Ye spent 200,000 points of Life Energy to convert attributes.
[Ding! Conversion successful!]
Lin Ye immediately looked toward the very bottom of his attribute panel.
[Unassigned Attribute Points: 100,000]
Lin Ye’s pupils contracted sharply.
’Holy shit!’
’The conversion ratio... is actually 2:1?!’
’And they’re unassigned attribute points that I can allocate freely!’
’The cost-effectiveness is simply off the charts!’
Lin Ye allocated 25,000 points each to Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit.
At that moment, his four primary attributes all broke through the 200,000-point mark!
His Spirit attribute, in particular, surpassed three hundred thousand.
With a single thought, Lin Ye switched phases, jumping directly to P4!
BOOM!
The power within his body erupted like a dormant volcano!
On the attribute panel before him, the number in the [Strength] column began to skyrocket!
Upon entering Phase 4, the passive skill [Ancient Dragon Blood] activated immediately.
What surprised Lin Ye, however, was that the magnitude of the All Attributes boost seemed a bit exaggerated.
Frenzy!
His Strength attribute doubled once again!
And finally...
Dragon Descendant Incarnation!
Profoundly deep black Scale Armor, like the purest night, grew wildly from beneath his skin, covering his entire body.
Lin Ye looked at his attribute panel again.
His Strength attribute finally settled on a number that left even Lin Ye himself slightly stunned!
Strength: 3,536,000!
Even Lin Ye himself couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.
He remembered clearly that when he had faced Noah’s final form and annihilated him with a single punch, his own Strength attribute had only been a little over a million.
And now... it was more than three times that amount!
’Wait...’
’How could the increase be so terrifying?’
Lin Ye pulled up his skill list, his gaze falling on the two Phase 4 skills.
[Transcendence: Ancient Dragon Blood]
[Type: Passive]
[Requires Phase 4 to activate]
[Skill Level: LV.40 (MAX)]
[Effect 1: Affinity for All Elements increased by 500%, Full Elemental Resistance +60%]
[Effect 2: You are able to understand and use the languages of the Dragon Race and all its branches. While in the Dragon Descendant Incarnation state, you gain the Dragon’s Might effect, forcing a Spirit check on all non-allied creatures that approach you. Those who fail the check will fall into negative states such as fear, trembling, and submission, and their All Attributes will be significantly reduced. This effect is doubled against draconic creatures.]
