After this template was activated, He Lingxuan immediately found Lin Qiye and killed the mutated Ghost Face King.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have slain a first-quantum creature and earned 10 Upgrade Points, as well as one Mysterious World Gift Pack (God Slayer World)."
Next came the exciting unboxing.
"Chat Group, open the Talent Skill Gift Pack and the Mysterious Gift Pack!"
"Ding! Opening..."
"Congratulations! You have obtained Talent Skill No. 66, Forbidden Ruins [Yuan-Devouring Scabbard], and the Third King's Ruin [Immortality]!"
"Well, the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard seems all right. If I remember correctly, it can store any form of energy and release it again in the shape of a sword. All in all, it should be pretty cool, and might even boost my offensive power a little."
Looking at the No. 66 Forbidden Ruins he'd just obtained, the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard, He Lingxuan was already imagining himself bursting with energy in battle, turning it into a sword, and unleashing Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!
It might not boost his offensive power by all that much, but it would look awesome!
Whether it was strong or not was one thing, but looking cool was a lifelong pursuit!
When he saw [Immortality] next, He Lingxuan first froze, then blurted, "Huh? Huh!!!"
"Immortality! It's actually Immortality! Looks like my luck really is through the roof this time!"
According to the original story, [Immortality] could grant an object or living being a perfectly constant state.
In theory, no external influence—not even a god's attack—could affect [Immortality].
Along with endless life, [Immortality] also granted absolute defense. Researchers had assessed that these Forbidden Ruins might threaten the gods, so they ranked them as the "Third King's Ruin."
Simply put, with [Immortality], he'd have a lifespan close to eternity, and no external force could affect his immortal state.
Of course, this was relative. The attacks it could withstand couldn't exceed a certain limit. But the most important thing was that eternal life!
In the original story, even after thousands upon thousands of reincarnations over an unfathomable number of years, both mind and body remained immortal and eternal, enduring through the ages!
The Dragon Ball World had plenty of ways to gain eternal life, such as making a wish with the Dragon Balls or truly becoming a god. These methods could all extend one's lifespan, but they still had their limits. Only Super Shenron was an exception.
He Lingxuan hadn't expected that on the very first day after binding himself to the system and the Chat Group, his battle power would reach 100,000, and he'd awaken the Humanoid Great Ape Form, letting him unleash ten times his strength.
Then he'd gone to the Chat Group to carry out a rescue mission. By chance, he'd unlocked the system's mental-power template. During the rescue, he'd killed the enemy in an instant and completed the mission with ease, earning two valuable gift packs.
That alone would have been enough, but after returning to the Dragon Ball World, he'd opened them and received two Forbidden Ruins. One of them had solved his future lifespan problem outright.
And even once he became strong enough that he no longer needed it, he could give it to his future wife or children to protect their lives.
By then, it might not be all that useful, but for He Lingxuan right now, it was a genuine treasure!
The other one could help him look cool in battle. This trip had definitely been worth it!
And he still had a system gift pack to open. What if it contained another ridiculously powerful Forbidden Ruins or Divine Ruins?
It wasn't impossible. After all, he'd already gotten Immortality.
The most important thing now was—
"Chat Group! Fuse Immortality and the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard!" He Lingxuan shouted, his voice tinged with excitement.
"Ding! Fusion in progress..."
At that moment, He Lingxuan felt two completely different powers flow into his body... bringing on a strange sensation. It seemed that with just a thought, he could turn the energy he unleashed into the shape of a sword!
Then there was the power of Immortality, enveloping his body and soul. It was eternity, unchanging, an enduring law!
He Lingxuan could even clearly sense that if he didn't transfer the power of Immortality to another object or person, he would endure through the ages—truly immortal.
He could even outlast the universe itself, though of course, that depended on whether he could withstand the Big Bang. Immortality's built-in defense wasn't quite that absurd.
Still, it was incredibly powerful, especially in battle. He couldn't use Immortality to block attacks in a fight against someone of equal strength, but it would be extremely useful if he were ambushed or fighting someone far stronger.
Perhaps because of his own strength, He Lingxuan could keep Immortality dormant inside his body, activating or deactivating it with a thought. It would also appear automatically if he were ambushed.
It would even save his life if he were in mortal danger. For instance, if he ever exploited the Saiyan bug in the future... The more He Lingxuan thought about it, the more useful Immortality seemed.
"System, open the panel."

"The Yuan-Devouring Scabbard can actually be increased? Guess it really is pretty weak."
But since he could increase it, then naturally...
"System, spend Upgrade Points to level up the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard!"
"Ding! Upgrade complete. 100 Upgrade Points consumed."
"Yuan-Devouring Scabbard → Yuan-Devouring Scabbard +1 (New ability: Swords formed from condensed energy are more lethal, and the maximum energy capacity of each sword has increased.)"
Seeing that the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard had leveled up for just 100 Upgrade Points, He Lingxuan nodded in satisfaction.
He'd go test the Yuan-Devouring Scabbard's effect in a bit. It should look pretty cool. He could record a video and post it in the Chat Group while he was at it.
Oh, right. There was still a system gift pack he hadn't opened.
"System, open the Mysterious Gift Pack (God Slayer World)!"
