Upgrade

The man who was about to be killed by the Mountain Bandits immediately stopped casting Spells from his Career Panel the moment he received the divine oracle, and then knelt down in devout prayer with the Mountain Bandits. The attempted Killing and the man who was about to be killed knelt side by side, like a family.

"How come I never noticed how devout these people were before?"

The Xiao Xiao Luo were horrified, and then, relying on the fleet, they hastily set up a Laboratory to begin investigating why.

Although it's unclear why there are so many humans in All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds, even if their origins are completely different, they all ultimately take human form. But humans do share some commonalities.

Rebelliousness is one of them; these humans in the Divine Court World are clearly not right.

Given their own will, every civilization, every era, and every society will have rebels, questioners, and disobedient individuals.

The Xiao Xiao Luo didn't notice anything wrong and transmitted the data to the host. The host also had Biological Samples, and the results were returned three days later.

These people have no rebellious spirit towards the Divine Court. Their blood and souls are deeply imprinted with the underlying logic of absolute loyalty to the Divine Court. Their methods are extremely secretive, somewhat similar to those of the Xiao Xiao Luo, but their techniques are more sophisticated.

"So this is just a group of pre-designed faith tools?" Some of the Xiao Xiao Luo strange, barely able to contain themselves. "No, they're not that Perfect. There must have been some kind of targeted selection by God beforehand."

Like livestock, some unknown Chief God created absolutely devout humans, then Spread and selected them among the human race, ultimately leading to the current state of universal loyalty.

Generation after generation, until finally, those who are born to kneel and worship remain.

Bowing and praying became as simple as breathing.

"It can't be that simple. They'd bury such a deep trap just for absolute loyalty?" Another Xiao Xiao Luo frowned. "If it weren't for this Lesser God, we wouldn't have discovered these methods."

Although they didn't understand the intentions of the Ancient Gods, the Xiao Xiao Luo still diligently managed their affairs in the Mortal Realm.

A small segment of humanity, through countless years of reproduction and Mana transformation, has broken free from these fundamental logics and gained the ability to think for themselves.

"You don't need the Career Panel, plenty of others do!"

It was precisely because of the limitations of the Demon Network and the energy shortage caused by the Laboratory explosion that the Career Panel could not support so many people to cultivate. The divine decree of the Chief God solved the urgent problem.

Those people will rise in the darkness, break out in silence, and use their own power to change the pattern of the world.

The Xiao Xiao Luo began micromanaging, preparing to strengthen this group first, then target others, and ultimately influence the Mortal Realm.

If it were a matter of military conquest, a fleet and Swarm would be more than enough, because the Mortal Realm is truly weak and lacks any powerful beings.

But Su Luo didn't want useless people, nor did she want a world that was too riddled with problems.

On his way back to Zone 76, Su Luo casually killed a bunch of monsters, skillfully dodged some that he couldn't afford to mess with, and then swept through like a bulldozer.

Before, when I was suppressing my level, I avoided your sharp edge; now that I'm not suppressing my level anymore, if I still avoid your sharp edge, wouldn't all the level suppression I did Su Luo been for nothing?

Despite having a panel stats of level 8, Su Luo's actual strength had already reached Lord 10, making her way through the battlefield and amassing ten Crystal Chests, quickly reaching level 10 herself.

[Su Luo: Alive]

[Age: 22]

[Level: 10 (100%)]

[Strength: 25]

[Spirit: 28 (↑1.6)]

[Constitution: 25.5]

[Mana: 68]

[Free Attribute Points: 10]

[Survival Coins: 4563289400]

Because the Source Essence Circulation Technique emphasizes the overall picture, all three Attributes are improved together. Therefore, this time, there was no situation where the Main Attribute was too strong and thus limited by the secondary Attributes.

Looking at her Attribute panel and the treasure chest in her hand, Su Luo felt an inexplicable urge to turn around and go on a rampage.

You can get ten Crystal Chests by traveling and killing people in the Land of Darkness for two days. If you go out to kill people specifically, you can reliably get Legendary quality equipment.

Su Luo calmed herself down, entered the Safe Zone to retrieve the components, and opened all the Crystal Chests along the way.

Rare resource vouchers, Perfect quality items, potions, treasures, building blueprints, vehicles...

A bunch of random stuff, the only potentially useful treasure was of such low quality that it was of no use to Su Luo.

Fortunately, the second-to-last treasure chest yielded a Legendary item.

Lionheart Crown

After you use it, you will wear the crown and gain the following effects: "Kingly Dignity", "Lionheart", and "Mark of Royal Authority".

Kingly Dignity: When actively activated, grants an Intimidation field. All creatures with a lower Spirit Attribute than yours will be subject to a judgment and have a chance to be afflicted with the Fear status.

Lionheart: Passive - Your willpower is slightly increased, your perception is slightly increased, and your Intimidation ability is slightly increased.

Mark of Royal Authority: When activated, it imprints the aura of a crown on an area, slightly increasing the willpower resistance of friendly units within the area and decreasing the stealth of enemy units.

An item of equipment that didn't suit Su Luo was still worn on her head, turning her into two crowns again.

A translucent crown sits atop a golden one, like a compressed tower.

When it's upgraded to a higher level, there will still be some benefits. Even a little bit is good. Su Luo needs to focus on increasing her strength and strengthening herself as much as possible.

"The changes in Zone 76 have been quite significant."

Su Luo immediately began rebuilding the Laboratory and took the opportunity to check on the current state of Zone 76.

It can be said that it has been completely transformed. The original area, which was a small part of the continent, has long been covered by mixed metals.

Silver-white Alloy Plates covered every inch of land, like a smooth skin, and dense lighting facilities covered every corner, both above and below ground; my hometown wasn't even this bright during the day.

There is a unique aesthetic that blends magic and Industrialization. Silver-white industrial machines and towering Magic Towers complement each other, while automated production lines and mixed buildings engraved Runes stand side by side. The Industrialization transformation led by Yun Xiaoxiao has already yielded results.

While most of the world was confined to a dozen or so Safe Zones, Zone 76 had already begun its expansion, with each officer possessing a Warship, ignoring the harsh environment of the Land of Darkness, and starting to expand outwards.

More than a hundred Survivors have already completed the Trait Dungeon, and the vast majority of them are currently out Exploration Quest.

Su Luo suspected that there weren't that many Exploration Quest around, and newcomers would have to travel much further to obtain the Purple Skills issued by the system. There was a limit to the number of Purple Skills that could be easily obtained in each area, and this limit wasn't very high.

"So the Land of Darkness aren't posing much of a threat anymore? Zone 76 is having too much of a time of peace."
