"Warning: Heavenly Dao Ascension is different from ordinary Ascension."

During this period.

Your physical form may become more vulnerable due to your focus on ascension and metamorphosis.

Please ensure the safety of your surroundings!

The alarming bright red warning was refreshed three times in a row.

Roger's heart grew cold.

"It's not the right time yet..."

At present.

He reluctantly turned his gaze away from the data panel.

Focus on sensing the anomalies on the Fallen Plane.

A few seconds later.

Roger's expression remained unchanged.

But his eyes shifted several times!

Under the influence of "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing".

He clearly saw that the White Wolf and the duke outside the city had actually stopped fighting.

The reason for the ceasefire was certainly not that they suddenly discovered a win-win principle besides life-or-death struggles.

Rather, it's because...

Voldemort Lord is back!

At that time.

Outside Evil Shadow City.

Beneath the desolate, vast, dark earth.

An almost imperceptible aura was moving rapidly like a shark.

If Roger didn't have the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing.

I doubt we'll even be able to catch this guy's Mi Mi movements!

"Could it be that because I killed Vilan's Historical Body, causing the latter's magic to fail, this guy came back?"

"No!"

"He's already back, or maybe he wasn't exiled at all!"

Roger felt a chill run down his spine.

The next moment.

He sensed something and looked in another direction! A rustling sound came from there.

But all that could be seen were the ruins of the "Philandering Palace," which had been chopped to pieces by the arcane giant.

Suddenly, a pale blue whirlwind appeared.

A whirlwind swept across the ruins of the imperial palace.

Like a spring breeze sweeping across the grass and branches.

A faint green hue emerges spontaneously.

That kind of power.

It's called Resurrection!

Those that were the first to be revived.

They are the White Dew Fairy who have been dead for a long time!

As everyone's attention returned from the melodious singing of the White Dew Fairy...

The Philandering Palace has been restored to its original appearance! At the very center of the palace...

The Fairy Lord sat gracefully on the flower bud cushion.

A pair of long, white legs dangled outside, swaying back and forth.

Where was there even a trace of dishevelment or pain?

"Observation: You have discovered that both ' Voldemort Lord ' and ' Fairy Lord ' used unknown trump cards to restore their own status..."

"Bitch!"

The White Wolf cursed angrily.

"Insidious!"

The Duke roared.

Looking at the two 'teammates' who seemed to have been reborn.

The two exchanged a glance.

Their faces were all filled with bitterness.

I thought...

We two are the stronger of the four.

They can at least be considered Lucky One.

Only in the end did I realize...

Those two cunning old foxes never intended to put in any real effort!

"You can't just say things like that. If you were stepped on by that big guy, you might not be able to come back to life."

The Fairy Lord smiled faintly.

The next second.

A murderous intent, barely concealed beneath her smile, erupted. "Give me back my sword!"

White Wolf gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly.

He snorted arrogantly:

"You think you can get your sword back after you've tricked me?"

"Unless you agree to form an alliance with me from now on and never play tricks on me again."

"And you must swear an oath before the Plane Heart!"

The Fairy Lord smiled faintly, "Do you think you have the leverage to negotiate with me right now?"

The White Wolf did not speak.

It was the Vampire Duke who spoke up, "Why not? Is it because... you think only you have a trump card?"

These words were spoken.

Whether it's the high and Fairy Lord.

Even Voldemort, who had quietly appeared, wore a solemn expression.

Roger could clearly sense it.

The atmosphere in all directions has changed.

The situation is one where the White Wolf and the Duke are weak, while the Fairy Lord and Voldemort are aggressive.

Suddenly, the situation became evenly matched!

even.

The apparent weakness of the White Wolf and the vampire duke seemed utterly deceptive! The Fairy Lord and Voldemort were filled with vigilance! The Vampire Duke's words had awakened them.

This is Mystra.

An ascendant without any trump cards? That doesn't exist!

Don't be fooled by the fact that White Wolf and the Duke look like they're about to die.

How much of it is an illusion?

How many more tricks and hidden cards are waiting for them?

Everything is unknown.

And the unknown.

That's the most terrifying thing.

On the contrary.

Both the Fairy Lord and Voldemort have revealed one of their trump cards.

If we really want to get serious...

They were actually the weaker party!...

"This tense situation isn't good. We do have common interests, but there are other people involved..."

Voldemort Lord's sinister voice rang out.

He seemed to be trying to smooth things over.

In reality, the target is Roger, who single-handedly buried Evil Shadow City!

The words fell.

After a long silence, the White Wolf suddenly spoke in a loud voice:

"Lord Roger!"

"If you want to kill this Voldemort, I, White Wolf, have no objection!"

The Fairy Lord and the Duke immediately echoed, "Me too!"

Voldemort's smile immediately froze on his face.

The next second.

Numerous dents appeared on his body.

Those were incredibly ferocious punches! Voldemort snorted coldly.

Then he tried to escape.

But at the same time.

Beneath the earth.

Pale yellow ripples spread outwards like waves! The land, which was like Voldemort's own backyard, seemed to be covered with a tortoise shell! His escape route was completely blocked!

"Hint: Your disciple Jean Grey used her 'Self-created Martial Arts - Great Bear Fist ' against Voldemort Lord."

"Your disciple Ji Qiu used 'Xuanwu Dharma Form: Pneumatic Barrier ' on Voldemort Lord."

See here.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

Driven by perception.

He immediately understood what had happened—

turn out to be.

After he destroyed Evil Shadow City.

Ji Qiu and Qin then prepared to come and provide assistance.

However, they happened to run into Voldemort Lord on the way back.

Qin was clearly holding back her anger.

Without saying a word, we got right to it.

Ji Qiu naturally had no choice but to follow!

Two Ascension-grade Martial Artist made their move.

Voldemort Lord was having a very tough time.

The two had been trapped previously.

That's because the latter benefited from the geographical advantage.

This is now a battle of chance.

And then he was forced to reveal his trump card by Vilan.

Qin's offensive immediately proved effective.

In a short time.

Voldemort Lord was thrown into the air from the ground like a ball!

The other three watched coldly.

They had absolutely no intention of helping.

They were more concerned about the meteorites visible to the naked eye in the sky!

For these Divine Kingdom Practitioner integrate their personalities into the Plane Heart is a significant matter.

Every single meteorite.

They all represent authority, status, domain, or experience!

There is also profound and difficult knowledge of gods, creation, and forbidden knowledge! At this moment.

They no longer care about others.

Boom! The Meteor Shower has officially begun.

The three of them put down what they were doing.

They chased after their respective locked-on meteorites!

"Hint: The Genesis Event has officially begun."

"Perception: You can extract XP and knowledge from falling meteorites, and in extremely rare cases, you may also gain authority and status."

"What a pity..."

Roger sighed inwardly.

None of the three on our side are Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

There was no evil thought of coexisting and perishing with the Fallen Plane.

Therefore, the benefits that can be obtained from Meteor Shower are far less than those from these four star lord candidates.

Just now, when Jean was chasing Voldemort.

Roger had originally intended to offer some advice or dissuasion.

Thinking about it now.

So be it.

It's nothing.

At present.

He used Sound Transmission into the Secret to tell Ji Qiu and Qin that he would soon be "safely developing" for a period of time.

Keep them vigilant at all times.

then.

Roger quickly moved towards Smith's location!

But we haven't even reached the halfway point yet.

A chilling feeling rose from behind him.

It felt as if a cold gaze was fixed on the back of his heart!

Roger looked back.

It's that familiar vertical pupil!

"You shouldn't have pushed your luck."

In the vertical pupils.

A cold and annoyed voice came through:

"You've made things very complicated for me."

"Warning: You have encountered a projection of Vilan's Present World Body..."

Roger didn't say a word.

Let's charge!

Snap! The first cut.

It only managed to shatter the outermost, keratin-like membrane of the vertical pupil!

"Ignorance. Stubbornness. Tyranny. Unawareness."

A series of angry rebukes came from his vertical pupils:

"I was going to give you a chance..."

Wow!

The Red Moon cleaved the vertical pupil in two! A large amount of strange blood flowed out from it.

Roger only glanced at it.

I felt restless and agitated! This was all I could sense.

The projection was still alive!

"Listen, voters of Mystra! Don't you want to know the current situation in Mystra?"

"Vilan said urgently."

Slap! Slap! Slap! That was his response.

Only the cold, merciless sound of Roger's sword flashed! In the blink of an eye...

The vertical pupil had already been cut into thin strips.

Vilan's voice became fragmented:

"Impotent rage is of no use!"

"I once thought you would be an interesting variable, but I didn't expect you to be no different from ordinary people. Listen, although you are a voter of Mystra, Mystra has completely fallen!"

"I have searched through 12 layers of history and reality, but I have not even found her seed!"

"You are the chosen people of the abandoned God!"

"Your struggle is pointless..."

"Can you please listen to me..."

The sound stopped abruptly there!

Sizzle!

With the final dozens of slashes unleashed.

The projection was finally shattered into tiny pieces, as fine as sand and as thin as a cicada's wing! Roger's stern expression eased slightly.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled down his forehead.

He let out a breath.

I glanced at the data panel.

"Hint: You destroyed the projection of Vilan's Present World Body."

"Extermination Order: Drawing Failed"

"You have successfully resisted Vilan's 'Divine Spell: High-Level Hypnosis'..."

"Damn, that's really disgusting."

"So you're resorting to divine spells just because you found out I'm Spell Resistance?"

"Luckily, my knife is fast enough!"

Roger quickly calmed himself down.

To be fair...

His resistance to divine magic is average.

I almost fell for their trick just now.

But he was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Notice.

This was resistance, not immunity! This means that Roger resisted the Extraordinary Strength through his own will.

This is quite a rare occurrence for him.

It has an excellent morale-boosting effect!...

"Vilan wants to hypnotize me..."

"While the best strategy would be to hypnotize someone back into the past, my Force might not be effective!"

"No matter what, I can't stop the merging of the two planes. We'll definitely have to clash head-on next!"

"Upgrading is the most important thing!"

Thinking this way.

Roger quickly found Fat Orange Smith! The two met.

Smith now has two cats with different colors.

A blue tabby.

A silver shaded cat.

Besides both being cats, they only have one thing in common—

Fat!...

"Hint: You have discovered the Three Secret Agent Heroes (appointed by the Sea Serpent Queen)"

"Elizabeth brought new information: that madman has already refined the Chaotic Plane..."

"He transformed himself into a part of the Chaotic Plane, and then tried to use the Fallen Plane as a scapegoat!"

"The Queen couldn't stop it."

"That madman's authority in the field of planar geometry is incomprehensibly powerful!"

"A great war is expected after the planes merge..."

Smith said somewhat anxiously.

Roger nodded.

He had anticipated this.

So he got straight to the point. "I need an absolutely safe place!"

"Can the Queen provide it?"

The three fat cats looked at each other.

Smith tentatively asked, "The Divinely Favored Space?"

Roger shook his head.

Due to the "Plane Traction Technique".

At this moment, he could indeed enter the Queen's Divinely Favored Space.

However, the upgrade process was rather secretive.

He didn't want to expose everything to the Queen's watchful eye.

"Then we'll have to protect you!"

Smith patted his chest:

Don't worry.

"We won't die until you die!"

Roger frowned.

"You really don't have any special skills?"

He didn't believe the Queen's personal agent was really that useless!

With the Queen's deductive abilities.

Regarding the current situation.

She should have been prepared.

"Our Mao Zedong was particularly skilled at..."

Smith was silenced by Roger's murderous gaze after he only managed to say half a sentence.

Then he said sullenly:

"We, the Three Secret Agent Heroes, possess an ability that can only be used once every hundred years."

"Explain!"

Roger urged.

That's "activation"!

Smith said reluctantly:

"Activation can be used to enhance items, weapons, and characters."

As for the specific effects...

Forehead.

One layer of activation can enhance the energy level to about 4-5 rings, right? Of course.

The maximum potential is barely enough to reach immortality...

Hmm.

Actually, it's slightly higher than immortality...

The three of us can activate it a maximum of 3 times in one go.

No, twice.

"Any more and I'll lose my life..."

Roger's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

It has such a powerful ability? It must be because it can only be used once every 100 years.

He was even planning to find a pretext to detain these three fat cats for his own use!

"Is this supposed to happen once every 100 years? Are you kidding me?"

He muttered to himself.

At a critical moment.

Roger couldn't care less about anything else.

At present.

He hesitated for a moment.

Then he found an item that had been gathering dust in the corner of the Tinder Pouch!

Its appearance.

It was a rather stylish Black Coffin!

"The Final Sanctuary"

"Please activate it, thank you!"

Roger rubbed his little hands together eagerly.

The three fat cats stared at each other for a while.

We met up very reluctantly in the same spot.

The next second.

They all jumped onto the coffin.

It left a paw print of its own cat on it.

"Hint: Your item ' Final Sanctuary ' has been activated *2"

"One more time."

"This is the Queen's will."

Roger gently rubbed the heads of the three fat cats with his right hand.

Their eyes became noticeably unfocused.

The next second.

Activation complete once again! Roger said without hesitation.

He carried the three unconscious fat cats and crawled into the Black Coffin!

then.

He decisively activated "Refuge Mode"!...

"Refuge Mode (Activate*3): Your shelter has powerful defenses and can withstand a continuous attack from an immortal squad for 2400 hours;

Note: This item will be destroyed immediately after the time expires.

"Not stable enough!"

Put aside your slight regret.

Roger regained his composure.

They subsequently deployed several backup plans near the shelter.

After doing all this.

He had only taken a few deep breaths.

The next second.

Roger refocused his gaze on the data panel.

A strange feeling washed over me.

Chest area.

That pent-up heat that had been suppressed for so long.

Finally, it burst forth uncontrollably! It seemed to splash all over him!...

"Notification: Your Sword Immortal level has increased to LV40, and your current total level is LV100."

"Your chosen upgrade class is: Hidden Hero!"...

"The Heavenly Dao Ascension is in progress..."

"Hint: You have gained Authority Capacity of 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 (kills)"

"You have achieved Authority Level 1, and your current total rank is LV101."

Your base attributes have been adjusted.

All attributes will be categorized under the three major upgrade items.

That is: strength, physique, and Root Bone belong to the physical body; intelligence, comprehension, and spiritual qualities belong to innate talent; charm, agility, and perception belong to the communion;...

Physique 50 (?) Talent 75 Sympathy 75 (Current Attributes)...

Note: Before Immortality, your maximum number of the three Ascension Entries is 90.

That instant.

Roger's soul seemed to have left his body.

His consciousness had completely entered a strange world.

Before him lay an endless array of mottled colors and a deep, distorted starry sky!

For a short while.

He felt like he was losing his way.

But at that very moment...

The text on the data panel started flashing brighter!...

"Congratulations on completing the Ascension Road! Your Hidden Hero MOD has been updated to version 2.0."

"You have acquired the 'Advanced Trait: Charge Up ' from the 'Profession Trait: Accumulating Momentum '."

"Accumulating Momentum: In a non-combat state, you can stack additional stacks of Charge Up through certain additional actions!"

The extra Charge Up stacks will disappear after the first 10 moves.

Currently, a maximum of 4 additional stacks of Charge Up.

That is, an additional 800% increase in power;...

Optional additional action list:

1. Facial expression: A smile (a faint smile/ Alluring Smile)...

Each time you smile, your Charge Up level increases by 1...

2. Expression: Eye roll (rolls his eyes)...

Each time you roll your eye, your Charge Up level increases by 1 (the same applies below)...

3. Facial expression: Frowning

14. Body language: He touched his nose...

15. Body language: He stomped his foot.

16. Body language: He stuck out his butt...

Each time you stick your butt out, your Charge Up level increases by 1...

"Accumulating Momentum: Please select your additional action!"

"Ah, this..."

"What's the point of choosing?"

"The more hidden the Charge Up stacks are, the better!"

Roger chose to "smile faintly" without hesitation.

"After..."

"I'm a regular at Danxiao too."

Thinking this way.

He completely ignored the wonders of the universe before him.

Instead, they focused their attention on the data panel.

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Supernatural Power Module Activated!"

"Multiple attack effects have been detected. Do you wish to combine these effects to gain a new divine power?"

"You have acquired a new supernatural power: the Three Flowers Divine Fire."

"Three Flowers Divine Fire: Consumes 20 Qi to launch a palm-sized divine fire that simultaneously possesses the attributes of fire, frost, and lightning. This divine fire has a weakening effect;..."

You can unleash the Three Flowers Divine Fire without limit.

Until your breath runs out.

The firing rate and range of the Three Flowers Divine Fire are equivalent to those of a projectile.

Note: The Three Flowers Divine Fire can be refined into magical artifacts (a function exclusive to the Magic Treasure Module).

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Magic Treasure Module Unlocked!"

"Unemployed, part-time, advanced, or expanded ' Qi Refiner ' has been detected. The Magic Treasure Module is temporarily unavailable..."

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Cave Dwelling Module Now Open!"

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Romance Module Now Available!"

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Adult Mode Enabled!"

"Hidden Hero 2.0: Eye Protection Mode Activated!"

Looking at the dazzling array of new modules and modes.

Roger was stunned.

Especially some of the strangest patterns.

It also greatly increased his knowledge.

"So I've been using the 'Young Adult'... oh no, I mean 'Teen Mode' all along?"

Roger was still savoring the moment.

The data bar over there is still jumping around rapidly!

"Note: The Hidden Hero MOD update is complete. Please explore the new content and gameplay on your own..."

"Heavenly Dao Ascension: You have been granted 5 opportunities for transformation. After completing the transformation, your physical strength will far surpass that of the extraordinary."

The presence of 'qi' and 'jing' was detected.

In the process of transformation.

You will automatically gain the effects of ' Qi Refining into Essence ' and ' Removing the False and Preserving the True '.

"Removing the False and Preserving the True: the process of refining 'essence' into ' True Qi ' at a ratio of 200:1"

"The transformation has finally begun!"

"It even has automatic cultivation..."

Roger was energized.

If the Ascension Road is the physical refinement of one's personality...

Then, the time of ascension is when the power of one's rank gives back to the body!

Three Pillar Item.

This means a total of 5 promotions and transformations! These transformations might not be immediately apparent in your base attributes—

Because his base stats are already ridiculously high.

But it will still have the effect of adding a lot of beauty to the already beautiful scenery.

On the other hand...

It is said that the process of transformation is also very painful.

But Roger is now lost in thought.

Focus on the changes in the data column.

I felt no pain at all.

Right now is actually the weakest time for the upgrade.

But he is currently in a shelter that has been activated three times.

He was surrounded by three fat cats, even weaker than him.

It's perfectly safe.

So he confidently began reading about the additional benefits of the promotion.

The first item is the change in weapons!

The Formless Sword needs no further explanation.

It was Roger's Life Sword.

Red Moon also has a very deep bond with Roger.

Therefore, during Roger's promotion process...

Both weapons were also upgraded.

Roger glanced at it.

The Red Moon was originally an upgraded weapon.

The enhancement simply adds one more special effect.

However, the base attributes have more than doubled.

This attribute is starting to approach that of Immortal-grade weapon!...

"Red Moon: Sharpness 24, Sturdiness 16, Weight 8, Balance 13, Durability 16"

"Red Moon (New Special Effect): First Blade Formation"

"The First Blade Formation: Under the command of the Ghost King."

The Red Moon will conjure 10,000 of itself and form a sword array with a maximum radius of 500 meters.

Enemies trapped in the blade array will be constantly subjected to area-of-effect attacks equivalent to 1/10 of the Red Moon's base power.

"The Ghost King has a real sense of responsibility as a working person!"

"First Blade Formation + Soul Threads..."

"The Seven Star Ghost King is just around the corner!"

Roger nodded in satisfaction.

Next up is the "Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Formless Sword".

The treatment of those with the Life Sword is different.

Not to mention the explosive increase in attributes.

Four special effects have been added all at once!...

Special Effect 5: Ruyi (a type of scepter)

"Ruyi: Your Life Sword can freely change size, from as small as an embroidery needle to as large as a giant ship;..."

The Life Sword in its Diffraction Technique state can coexist in both large and small sizes.

Special Effect 6: Stand

"Substitute: When you suffer a severe blow, your Life Sword can absorb the damage until the Life Sword is completely destroyed. You can use this effect."

Special Effect 7: Sword Oil

"Sword Oil: You can temporarily improve the attributes of your Life Sword by applying the secret sword oil."

For instructions on how to make sword oil, please refer to the ' Magic Treasure Module.

Special Effects 8: Heart Sword

"Heart Sword: The bond between you and your Life Sword has deepened. In addition to throwing and using Qi to drive it, you can now directly use your will to control the Life Sword for attacks."

Roger read it carefully.

All four special effects are quite good.

Especially the last one.

This makes using the Life Sword even smoother.

Silently, I used my mind to sense the invisible and colorless hidden sword.

Roger suddenly recalled his youthful days when he had just advanced to become a sword immortal.

At that time.

His Life Sword was still an axe.

The driving Life Sword still uses the most basic throwing weapon routine.

"Without realizing it..."

"I'm already this strong."

He was filled with emotion.

But the next second.

That feeling of regret transformed into an even more intense desire.

"It needs to be even stronger!"

As if in response to his thoughts.

The next second.

His perspective suddenly zoomed out quickly.

Everything vanished like smoke in the wind.

After his consciousness returned to his body.

Only 3 minutes had passed.

Three transformations.

It is now complete.

"Notification: You have completed your Heavenly Dao Ascension!"

"Your current physical strength is that of a humanoid beast."

No.

The word "beast" is offensive and an underestimation to you!

Ordinary planets can no longer satisfy your physical needs.

"The monsters in the stars are the only opponents who can barely match you."

"Notification: Your ' Mythical Creature ' feat is active..."

"You have obtained a ' Celestial God Body '"

In a daze.

Roger seemed to see into that unknown dimension.

A colossal creature slowly opened its eyes.

Its emotionless gaze coldly fixed on Roger.

Hiss! The conspicuous forked tongue occupied at least half of Roger's field of vision!

"Hint: Your Celestial God Body is the ' White Turbid Serpent ' (juvenile stage) (980 meters long/rapidly developing)"

Status: Savage/Hungry

It can evolve into the following adult forms:

1. The Serpent of Annihilation...

2. The Serpent of Reincarnation...

3. The Serpent of Twilight...

"No..."

"Why is my Celestial God Body a snake?"

Before Roger could even figure out what was going on...

A barrage of information suddenly flooded his mind!...

"Heavenly Dao Ascension: You have officially acquired and taken control of the Slaughter Authority Rank!"

Your primary domain is: killing/hunting/dueling.

Your secondary areas are: swords/daggers/martial arts/trickery/traps/monsters/bluffing/ambush/treasure.

"You will gain an absolute advantage in your field."

"Heavenly Dao Ascension: You have gained authority (to kill)..."

No one understands the art of killing better than you.

All those of lower rank and specialization in killing than you must submit to you.

Otherwise, your projection will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.

"Power and expertise are evolving..."

"You have acquired 9 authority feats!"

It's almost the end of the month, and I'm not asking for monthly votes, it's just that I have some extra... um... um... um?
