"It actually worked."
With the facts laid out before him, even Lu PingAn had to admit that this was far too outrageous.
The ones who tried it were the former fishermen who had boarded the ship through sheer luck. They were ordinary people through and through, yet they had never undergone the baptism.
So naturally, some of them gave it a try.
"The success rate is roughly fifty percent, but the failures didn't die. Their wishes simply failed. Because of the time limit, the second trial didn't succeed, but the second wish should also have a chance of succeeding."
Becoming a Professional—or rather, accepting the baptism of "pollution"—was the hardest hurdle for transcendents to cross.
Professionals essentially used "order" to control and stack the "pollution" within their bodies. It was like building a mountain out of blocks: the higher one climbed, the more materials were needed, and the harder it became.
But the prerequisite had always been that one's body could withstand "pollution" and possessed the most basic "pollution resistance." The fate of those who failed was simple. Once the transformation began, it could not be stopped. They were completely devoured by pollution, turning directly from mortal creatures into true monsters.
This depended on one's physique and luck, but generally speaking, the higher one's racial stats, the higher the success rate.
Lu PingAn had never encountered a method with a one-hundred-percent success rate. Whoever attempted it had to gamble with their life.
"Going from a mortal to a Tier 0 Professional is, in the end, a change in life form. It only requires the bare minimum of 'pollution taking hold.' Once the 'process' is handled by the wish, all that remains is success or failure."
Lu PingAn estimated that the success rate for a failed applicant's second wish would not
