Story Performance

A surge of powerful energy was coursing through Linsey's body.

He once awakened his Life Source Material on his Self-Awakening, and used it as the primary basis for training and using his skills.

But things are different now.

Upon reaching the Second Stairway of the Stairway to Heaven, the most direct enhancement is a comprehensive improvement in attributes!

Each of the three physiological attributes— Constitution, strength, and agility—increases by 3 points.

Willpower increased by 10 points, and Charisma also increased by 2 points, but Intelligence did not follow suit.

At the same time, Linsey's Essence also underwent some kind of change.

In addition to the Essence that sustains his Life Force, his own will also became the cornerstone of the Essence, and the recovery speed was at least one-third faster than before.

Moreover, Linsey had a premonition.

Now, when he fights someone, his will also vaguely exists within the Essence, producing a kind of mysterious and profound influence.

"But if both Essence must be upgraded together before an Awakened's skill level can be increased, this is indeed a serious obstacle to their speed for a normal Awakened."

Linsey recalled the advice she received from her Godmother, Red Moon, when she had just become an Awakened.

This drag is already evident.

With the blessing of two Essence, Linsey has no intention of giving up one of them.

Therefore, in the future, he will certainly face another problem mentioned in the warning—the interference between the two Essence.

"This kind of problem can only be solved by finding a solution gradually."

Linsey murmured a sigh and turned to look around.

He had just been caught in the Essence storm, and his eyes were completely blinded by the excessive pressure.

Even with improved Constitution condition, visual recovery will still take some time.

"Hong, how are you feeling?"

"..."

"Linsey, you're calling from the wrong direction. I'm to your left."

"..."

"What are you saying? I can't hear you?"

"..."

"You should just lie down."

"..."

Linsey now roughly understands the awkwardness of their conversation.

So he kept quiet and focused on mobilizing his Essence to speed up his body's recovery while simultaneously reviewing his other gains in his mind.

[RPG Rating: 7]

[Story Performance: When players are in specific environments, events, or states, Story Performance will actively guide their destiny.]

"..."

"The Story Performance... fate..."

Of all the modules for Game Player, the [RPG Module] is unrivaled at level 7.

When the description of the "Story Performance" came to mind.

As the possessor of this skill, Linsey instinctively sensed that it was an extremely powerful, or even terrifying, ability!

[Story Performance] Cannot be activated under normal circumstances.

But once the conditions are met and the skill is activated, the guidance of destiny will begin. Moreover, as various factors come together, this guidance effect will gradually increase, even achieving some miracles that were originally impossible! Faced with such a skill, a very real question popped into Linsey's mind.

"Can my Essence withstand the consumption of this skill?"

"Linsey, what are you babbling about?"

At that moment, Hong's question came from the side.

Linsey turned his head away. After a while, his vision and hearing had finally recovered somewhat.

Red was sitting next to Linsey at that moment.

The girl glanced at Linsey, then her fiery red eyes continued to gaze ahead.

Linsey followed the movement and looked over.

"This is... the Tree Mother?"

With the death of the Tree Mother, the surrounding Thorn have stopped growing and have even become dry and gray.

However, the Tree Mother's own corpse was not like that.

After this Sixth Stage spirit of vegetation died, its corpse lying on the ground sprouted into a banyan sapling within minutes.

Rumble—

At that moment, the roar of the collapsing rocks came from afar.

Linsey and Red turned their heads and saw that the banyan Great Banyan Grove, which had once been the home of the Tree Mother, was collapsing, and even the underground roots were rotting and collapsing.

The hill thus revealed its riddled internal structure and, unable to bear the weight, collapsed with a crash.

Dust obscured the sky and the moon.

Although the scene over there is unclear, there is no doubt that a hill has become a thing of the past.

"We really won?"

"Do you want me to pinch you to see if you're dreaming?"

"No need, thank you."

Linsey and Red said a few words in a melancholy tone, then turned to look at what was in front of them.

On the corpse of the Tree Mother, tiny banyan saplings grew under the cover of night, without any trace of mystery.

Exclude the Tree Mother corpse below it.

Anyone who comes by and sees it will only think it's a sapling by the roadside.

Linsey stood up, supporting himself on his knees, and walked over to touch the banyan sapling.

He could not sense Essence; the Tree Mother was undoubtedly dead.

But this seedling is the final Manifestation of Rules, if given a thousand or a hundred years to grow.

Perhaps one day in the future.

It might be an ordinary banyan tree, and it might not even be able to survive in the competition for survival among plants.

But it's also possible that a new spirit of vegetation might appear in the Starshine Forest.

By then, both Linsey and the Dragon Beast will be a distant past, and no one knows what path this new life will take.

"Hehe, it's perfect to break it and use it as a walking stick."

Just then, a wild voice rang out from beside Linsey.

Hong has absolutely no sentimentality about life.

She saw the saplings on the Tree Mother's corpse and immediately wanted to eradicate them completely! Linsey quickly stopped her:

"Hey! Is it really necessary to be like this?"

With red eyes, he glared and said, "What, you won't let me fold it?"

Linsey tried to persuade:

"In our School of Death, there is a doctrine of respecting life..."

Hong interrupted him righteously, "I'm not a member of the School of Death!"

After exchanging a few words, Linsey and Red sat facing each other and decided to start a debate on the issue.

"..."

"Gentlemen, this is just an ordinary sapling."

A voice suddenly interrupted Linsey and Red's debate.

They turned their heads and saw that the Root Elder from the other side of the canyon had emerged from the ground.

Linsey asked curiously, "Zong Shu, you came along too?"

"Weren't you supposed to take care of that Mountain Stone Spirit?"

"My lord..." Root Elder shook his head sadly, "He sent me here, saying, 'At least in the final moments of my life, some things need to be witnessed.'"

Linsey bowed slightly:

My condolences.

The Root Elder nodded in response, then continued, "The Starshine Forest, having lost its Tree Mother, will return to the pure laws of nature. This is also the beginning of hope for a renewed rebellion against the Dragon Beast. I wonder about you two..."

"Feel sorry."

Linsey interrupted the other person.

The Root Elder clearly wanted to extend an invitation to them, but it wasn't a solution Linsey could accept. "We'd like to try a faster method."

While they were talking, Linsey touched the Tree Mother's corpse and collected Prey Material.

He turned around and pulled Hong up again, heading straight south. "Let's go, let's go check out Thorn Valley."

"A lot of Tree Spirit died over there tonight, I still need to collect some materials!"
