The deep black earth stretched to the horizon, and as far as the eye could see, crater-like mountains and sinkholes dotted the landscape. Occasionally, half a piece of metal would emerge from the earth, its original form unclear. In the distance, a solitary black peak rose up, exuding a desolate and ancient aura.
The sky was overcast, with few stars and dim light. A gust of pungent wind swept across the area, carrying countless grains of sand. The immense force of the wind ripped at everything on the ground.
This is a black, barren planet, enveloped by a thick layer of gray haze that covers the entire atmosphere. From outer space, one can see the planet's atmosphere forming storm-like cyclones.
Once, this was a vibrant planet, lush with greenery and vibrant with color, where the roars of wild beasts echoed through the mountains and forests. Now, only a deathly silence remains—this is an ancient battlefield within the Empire's borders.
Beneath the ground lie the remains of numerous warships and weapons; now, the wind and sand have buried the past, leaving only desolation.
A black figure walked slowly across the ground, seemingly blending into the black background.
"This is fine."
Han Xiao looked up at the gray sky and knew that the spaceship was waiting for him in outer space, and most of the people on board were staring at him through the viewing windows.
The commotion of advancing to Beyond Grade A will be significant, especially since this time it involves both species sublimation and main job change, which could cause a major upheaval. Advancing on a spaceship could lead to a crash, so Han Xiao found a nearby uninhabited planet and planned to complete his level 300 advancement there.
Of course, he had already tested Fording before coming, and was now full of confidence.
Opening the panel, Han Xiao saw that both the advanced quest and the job change quest were completed. He composed himself and selected to settle the score.
[Level 300 advancement quest completed!]
[Stamina bonus +70! 1 stamina = 480 health points = 490 stamina points]
The immense energy contained in each cell transforms your body, shifting your genetic code to a higher level, and you've taken another step on the path of evolution.
[Your race has been detected as: [Black Star Race] (Exclusive race, cannot be changed)]
[Randomly selecting five suitable evolutionary directions... Selection in progress... Selection complete]
[Please choose two races from the following five options to obtain one talent for each race.]
[1. [Void Divine Envoy (Human Form)]]
[2. [Endless Proliferating Aberration (Group Consciousness)]]
[3. [Void High Priest] (Human Form)]
[4. [Saint Terlex Race]]
[5. [Magora Void Behemoth]]
"These are all good directions." Han Xiao raised an eyebrow and nodded secretly.
In the previous stage, I reached the [Void Saint] level of the Void system, and now I have reached the [Void Divine Envoy] level, getting closer and closer to the end of the evolution of the Void system.
The [Endless Proliferating Aberration] is a terrifying creature that can proliferate its own flesh and blood cells Infinite through energy. As long as there is enough energy, it can expand endlessly without worrying about its own genes collapsing, eventually becoming a flesh and blood planet.
At the same time, it can manipulate the flesh and blood structure formed, such as creating a new type of monster with normal life cycle ability, creating a flesh and blood brain for it, and then splitting it off from its own body, thus creating a new type of mutated monster that is controlled by the main consciousness but has its own consciousness.
The Saint Terlex Race were an extinct race with exceptional mechanical talent, and were said to be born mechanics.
[Magora Void Behemoth] is a Void monster with an extremely tough body, similar to Leviathan in the Void system, and is on par with the Void Dragon Race, but is much rarer.
After some thought, Han Xiao made a decision, choosing between [Void Divine Envoy] and [Saint Terlex Race]. The former was to maintain the evolution of the Void system, while the latter was to choose a talent that would enhance the mechanic's inherent abilities.
He now possesses a considerable number of Void talents. The reason he did not choose [Void High Priest] is because many of his talents overlap with those of [Void Divine Envoy]. Although [Endless Proliferating Aberration] is terrifying, Han Xiao is not prepared to give up his human form.
One should still act like a human being.
[Magora Void Behemoth] is known for being a tank. It's not that Han Xiao is arrogant, but he feels that he is already a top-tier tank in this aspect, and there is no need to improve his ability to take hits for the time being.
All the talents of both races were displayed before him, and he could choose one from each. After looking at them for a while, Han Xiao made his choice.
[You have gained a new talent [Void Divine Power]!]
[You have gained a new talent [Terx Mechanical Legacy]!]
[[Void Divine Power]: Your understanding of the Void Dimension has reached a new level, enabling you to manipulate void energy more efficiently, purify yourself, and comprehensively enhance your qualities.]
[Any type of attack and defense will be boosted by Void Energy. Each attack will deal Void damage equal to (12,500 points + 12% theoretical attack power). Each attack received will grant an additional 10,000 damage reduction and a 15% bonus to all resistances.]
[As your level increases, you can gain more attribute bonuses from Void Divine Power: Lv1~Lv100, every 10 levels +15 to Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intelligence, and Mysticism, and +0.5% to Ability Strength; Lv100~Lv200, every 10 levels +30 to all five attributes, +25 to Stamina, and +1% to Ability Strength; Lv200 and above, every 10 levels +45 to all five attributes and +1.5% to Ability Strength.]
[Current total increase effect: all five attributes +900, ability strength +30%]
[[Terx Mechanical Legacy]: Mechanical expertise is a legacy of the Saint Terlex Race. The Saint Terlex Race possesses exceptional talent in Mechanic Class, and the cost of upgrading any Mechanic Class skill will be reduced by 20% (including but not limited to primary Mechanic Class skills, blueprint skills, etc.)].
[As your level increases, you can obtain more mechanical technologies from inherited memories: Lv1~Lv100, Mechanical Affinity +8% every 10 levels; Lv100~Lv200, Mechanical Affinity +12% every 10 levels; Lv200 and above, Mechanical Affinity +16% every 10 levels.]
[The Saint Terlex Race ' inherited memories record their unique technological achievements. Special clan-exclusive blueprints will be unlocked when their total level reaches Lv20, Lv60, Lv100, Lv160, Lv200, Lv260, Lv320, and Lv360.]
Boom!
My brain was racing, burning with intense heat, while the energy of the void continuously washed over my body, as if I were being attacked by both ice and fire, feeling both cold and hot.
A transformation is taking place within Han Xiao's body, and the changes on the panel don't stop there. The Black Star Race's unique talent has also been enhanced along with this sublimation of life level.
[Your Black Star Race exclusive talent [Mechanical Genius] effect enhanced]
[[Mechanical Genius]: Total mechanical affinity increased from 1.15x to 1.25x, mechanical creation performance bonus increased from 30% to 40%, new effect: all Mechanic Class skills are increased by one level by default]
[Regarding racial appearance determination, based on your current evolution, your maximum appearance change is 1.4%. Do you wish to maintain your original appearance?]
Han Xiao was quite confident in his character creation skills, but he decided against testing it on his own face and chose "no."
[Elevation of life level, refinement of molecular structure, strengthening of organ structure, alteration of metabolism...]
[The Black Star Race's potential has been enhanced, and you have gained attribute upgrades; Strength +334, Agility +320, Endurance +470, Intelligence +767, Mysticism +580, Charisma +205, Vigor +8000, Vigor realm attribute bonus changed]
Every cell was vibrating, pumping out waves of energy. The enormous fluctuations it emitted directly affected the environment of the entire planet. He was like the Wind Eye, with the planet's atmosphere forming a storm center around him.
In the fleet in outer space, Aurora, Fording, Hadavy, and all the guards stood in front of the observation window, overlooking the environmental changes that Han Xiao had caused on this planet.
"What a terrifyingly high-energy reaction! Has Lord Black Star grown stronger again? At his level, he can still increase his strength in such a short time?!" Hadavy exclaimed in horror.
"Although I've known him for a long time, he still amazes me every time." Fording shook his head. "How can there be such a gifted person in this world? He's practically a born superhuman."
"I've never heard of Beyond Grade A growing this fast." Hadavy's tone was a mix of amazement and envy.
He has struggled for who knows how long to become Beyond Grade A, but he still hasn't succeeded. On the other hand, Black Star is not only the fastest person in history to reach Beyond Grade A from scratch, but he can also maintain a high speed of strength growth after entering Beyond Grade A, which is simply unheard of.
"Comparing yourself to others is just infuriating..." Hadavy looked on with envy and jealousy.
Not only him, but the other guards were also shocked. Such a rate of growth was truly unimaginable to them.
Aurora her fists nervously, her palms sweating.
This was the first time she had witnessed Han Xiao's advancement process since her powers took shape. In her perception, Black Star's life strength was rising like a rocket, which was completely contrary to the common knowledge that Beyond Grade A beings could sublimate their lives gradually. She couldn't help but feel apprehensive, fearing that Han Xiao's evolution would fail.
She was even prepared to expend 99% of her life force to help Han Xiao.
It took a long time for the high-energy reaction to gradually subside.
"It seems to have been a success."
Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they were shocked to find that the high-energy reaction that had just subsided suddenly surged again, instantly surpassing the previous peak level, fluctuating wildly just like their blood pressure!
A new storm has arrived!
"It just finished its sublimation, and now it's happening again?!"
Everyone was stunned, feeling as if their worldview had been shattered.
At this moment, Han Xiao, who was in the center of the planetary storm, had already confirmed his job change on the panel!
[Your job change quest is complete!]
[You have obtained a new class - [Divine Throne Mechanic]!]
