In the Emerald Star Cluster, an unexplored region, a high-warp spaceship is undergoing a rapid warp jump.
Han Xiao and a group of Apostle Weapon were the only people on the spaceship. He sat in the command room looking at the star map. The target marked m•hetushu•com. com. com was flashing in red on the screen, and its coordinates were located in a certain position in the central region of the Emerald Star Cluster.
This is the location where the Chaos Mysterious Energy was revealed in the legacy of the Sorokin. The major powers have not yet explored this place. He drove his self-made advanced spaceship straight ahead, without needing to stop and go like other powers, thus venturing into the unexplored area much earlier.
The time for the emergence of Chaos Mysterious Energy is not far off, so he went to lie in wait in the bushes early.
Because of Evans, only Han Xiao knows for certain that this coordinate is correct. Other forces that have obtained information about the Chaos Mysterious Energy still need to try their luck among the several coordinates shown in the data. This can reduce some of the competitors, which is very advantageous to them.
Han Xiao himself was only involved as a precaution. If the competitors weren't strong, he could simply send Dominion clone to handle the situation, thus avoiding revealing his true identity.
However, at this moment, Han Xiao was preparing to find a place to stay. He had finally gained enough experience to reach level 320, and advancing to the next level was his top priority.
During this time, he had been traveling. The Black Star Army's development had laid a solid foundation, so he didn't need to worry about it. He just needed to wait for foreign players to continuously come to the Shattered World, and the legion would automatically attract batches of new players.
Currently, the legion's player base has reached around 8 million, and this is far from its limit. Once the remaining star-domain players arrive on the global server, the legion's player base will easily surpass 10 million, allowing for a continuous influx of fresh blood and a large influx of experience points.
"Once all players gather on the global server, the Legion's player base should reach around 11.5 million, making it the largest player faction for now, second only to the Three Universal Civilizations in the later versions of the previous game."
Han Xiao thought to himself.
Not all players have arrived in the Shattered World yet, but the player base has already attracted greater attention from major forces, and the situation is developing in the direction he is familiar with from the early stages of his previous life, version 4.0.
Because of his presence, tens of millions of players who should have been scattered are now all in the Black Star Army. This will cause some changes, but Han Xiao was already prepared for this. The period of making a fortune by taking advantage of the players is coming to an end, and soon the major high-level forces will value the players' abilities as much as he does.
"Let's not think about that now. Anyway, I'm in a great position right now, with the dragon riding right in front of me, I can sit back and relax." Han Xiao shook his head, slowed down the spaceship, and docked in a space.
Han Xiao exited the cabin, flew away from the spaceship, and had the Apostle Weapon protect him from all sides. He activated the instrument that shielded energy fluctuations to hide the changes that occurred during his advancement.
Opening the panel and gazing at the astronomical number of experience points, Han Xiao couldn't wait any longer.
"Finally, I've accumulated enough experience to level up and advance! It's been so long since I've felt this exhilarating!"
With that in mind, he didn't hesitate and poured all his experience into upgrading, causing his total level, which had been stagnant for a long time, to soar like a rocket once again!
[[Divine Throne Mechanic] has been promoted to Lv8, Strength +450, Agility +5, Endurance +15, Intelligence +20. You gain 15 attribute points and 1 potential point.]
[[Divine Throne Mechanic] has been upgraded to Lv20. Strength +450, Agility +5, Endurance +15, Intelligence +20. You gain 15 attribute points and 1 potential point.]
[You have reached level 320, and you have triggered the level 320 advancement quest!]
Han Xiao had accumulated some Mission Settlement Card over the years. After glancing at the advancement requirements and confirming that it was a troublesome task, he simply threw out a Mission Settlement Card.
[Level 320 advancement quest completed!]
[Advanced successfully!]
[Base stamina bonus +90! 1 stamina = 570 health = 580 stamina]
[[Terx Mechanical Legacy] Unlocks Lv320 special blueprint!]
[Your Strength level has reached Lv21, and your Energy level has exceeded 78000]
[You have gained the feat [Divine Transformation - Mechanics (0/?)]]
[You have gained the feat [Divine Transformation - Void (0/?)]]
[You have gained 2 Divine Transformation Points]
[You have obtained 1 [First Sanctum] skill fragment]
[All your virtual technology skills will have their effectiveness increased by 50%]
Han Xiao felt a jolt throughout his body, as if every cell had turned into Black Hole, absorbing the rich dark energy of the universe around him and improving his own cells.
The [Divine Throne Mechanic] class has a level cap of 60, and can only advance to the next class at level 360. The next species ascension will be at level 340.
In Han Xiao's memory, level 320 should have been just a normal advancement, but the notification that popped up on the panel made him cheer up.
"Divine Transformation?"
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
He wasn't entirely unfamiliar with the term; in the later versions of his previous life, this concept circulated within the Beyond Grade A community and became known to players. Although information was scarce, based on forum speculation, it was likely a crucial factor in advancing the life level of Beyond Grade A.
He, this Mechanical Deity, at least has the word "god" in his name. As for divine status, the [Key to the Mechanic Faith] seems to have some meaning in that regard... But what exactly is divinity? He hasn't experienced it yet.
The higher the level of life, the more idealistic it seems to become. This makes things very difficult for me, a materialistic mechanic...
"So, is an energy level of 78,000 Ona and a Qi level of 21 the threshold for triggering Divine Transformation?" Han Xiao pondered to himself while enduring the pain of advancement.
The calculation of energy levels is a rather complex function, not a simple addition or subtraction. The larger the value, the greater the actual difference between each point. For example, the numerical difference between the 200 and 100 energy levels is the same as that between the 10000 and 9900 energy levels, both being "100", but the actual energy levels they represent are vastly different. The further down the energy level, the more difficult it is to increase.
He broke through level 300 and became Mechanical Deity, with an energy level of over 71,000 at the time.
Over the next ten years, he continuously practiced new Energy Training Method, which greatly increased his strength limit. He also spent a lot of experience and potential points to improve his skills and knowledge. At the same time, he extracted powerful expertise and skills from Heber, Manison, Silver Shadow and others, and obtained [Perfect Mechanical Sense] from Nero. With all these enhancements, his energy level has steadily exceeded 78,000.
"The two Divine Transformation are mechanical and void... Hmm, these correspond to the main class and race, so are these two different evolutionary paths? Or do we have to unlock both together?"
Han Xiao glanced at the list of specializations. The two Divine Transformation specializations had small "+" signs next to them, while the effects of the specializations were marked with question marks.
"It seems I'll only know the effect after adding points. The advancement gave me 2 points in Divine Transformation, I'll try putting one point into each... This skill suffix should indicate the maximum number of points I can allocate to this special feat. Is it only considered a fully completed feat when all points are allocated? But that's still a question mark, I don't know how many points I need to add..."
Thinking it over, Han Xiao tentatively added a little to [Divine Transformation - Mechanical], and the specialization effect immediately appeared.
[[Divine Transformation - Mechanism (1/?)]]
[Phase 1: Mechanical Affinity +1000%, Ability Strength +20%, Basic Effects of All Mechanic Class Skills Slightly Enhanced]
Han Xiao glanced at the skill list. The basic effects of the skills had been improved, meaning that the increase in each level was slightly greater. He enhanced the effects of all his mechanical skills. The increase wasn't high, but it was comprehensive.
"The bonus is alright, but it doesn't seem that powerful... Maybe it's just because it's in the first stage? The more points you add, the more powerful the effect will be unlocked?" Han Xiao raised an eyebrow; that made sense.
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment, then abandoned the idea of adding the remaining 1 point to it, and went to activate [Divine Transformation - Void] first.
[[Divine Transformation - Void (1/?)]]
[Phase 1: Exclusive racial talent enhancement, slightly improved species talent in the Void Evolution route, you gain 1750 free attribute points to complete the upgrade]
[Mechanical Genius] Total mechanical affinity increased from 1.25x to 1.28x, mechanical creation performance bonus increased from 40% to 44%, and other Void racial talents all received some bonuses, with significant cooldown reductions.
"This one is alright."
Han Xiao nodded.
I've run out of Divine Transformation Points and I don't know how to replenish them. Are they only given upon advancement, or are there other ways to obtain them?
If it's only awarded for advancement, then the sooner you reach the 78,000 energy level requirement, the sooner you'll receive Divine Transformation Points. Advancing at lower levels is naturally easier, and you can obtain more points than at higher levels... Perhaps this represents potential?
Han Xiao shook his head and looked at another prompt.
What on earth is this [First Sanctum] skill fragment? He'd never heard of it in his previous life.
The description also contained question marks, Han Xiao couldn't figure out what it was. Judging from the name [First Sanctum], it didn't seem to have anything to do with mechanics. At this moment, he only had a skill fragment, which he couldn't use and could only display.
"I feel like this is a key factor... I'll find an opportunity to ask the Empire if they have any information on this. I guess it will require contribution points to obtain, just like the information from the Mechanic Faith back then."
Putting aside what he didn't understand, Han Xiao looked at [Terx Mechanical Legacy]. New blueprints would be unlocked at levels 320 and 360, and the level 320 blueprint was now unlocked.
He glanced at it quickly, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, revealing a look of delighted surprise.
Holy crap, I got my money!
