In the Deep Blue Civilization, the merger of reality and the game had only begun after the ninth year of the current cycle...
Thus, the World Spine that appeared at this point would not undergo any special changes.
But Blue Star was different.
It was just like the third World Spine · Divine Weapon before.
Qin Feng had killed an Epic Grade boss, "Transcendent Weapon," ahead of time. It was a simplified version of the third World Spine, and its death had given the third World Spine the ability "Reforge in Flames," increasing the difficulty of defeating it more than a hundredfold!
Even Qin Feng had needed considerable effort back then to finally destroy all three thousand divine weapons in order...
Without the boost from Transcendent Weapon, they would have been just like the three thousand divine weapons in the Deep Blue Civilization: a single Demon Shadow Blade could have dealt with them all.
However, that increase in the World Spine's difficulty had also brought Qin Feng benefits.
"World Divine Weapon's Blessing" had increased the level cap of every skill Qin Feng had learned by 10. The overall benefits had been quite substantial.
