[Ding, upgraded to Level 12 successfully. The upgraded function is explained below...]
[Deep Simulation]
[By spending one million Spirit Stones, the host can let his consciousness dive within the simulation for an indefinite amount of time and gain complete memory and experience of practicing magical powers or spells — except for any physical upgrades — upon exiting the simulation.]
[Limit per Simulation: Infinite.]
[Warning: This experience may cause emotional instability.]
When Lin Chen saw the introduction of the newly upgraded feature, he was very happy.
Although it mentioned possible emotional effects, who said he was going to use this feature actively? He had already decided to use it only when his life was in extreme danger — about which he was aware — or if he received an extremely important warning from his God's POV that required him to alert his simulated self in advance.
For Lin Chen, this feature was no less than giving him an extra life.
Although he was happy at the moment, he didn't forget that his new weapon and talents still needed to be introduced.
Thinking of this, he directly ordered the system to explain his newly obtained talents and weapon.
Receiving his command, the system began to introduce the talents one after another.
[Holy Spiritual Root of Destruction (Purple): Having this Spirit Root increases affinity with the Dao of Destruction. It is another elemental root that — just like the other elements — gathers destructive energy from the surroundings to increase cultivation.]
Listening to the system's introduction, Lin Chen was surprised. He hadn't expected something like the Spirit Root of Destruction to exist. At first, he thought that his increased affinity with the Dao of Destruction was due to a special physique or something similar, so this came as an unexpected revelation.
What surprised him even more was that this was included in his Marrow-Cleansing Experience.
Seeing his surprised expression, the system began answering his unspoken doubts one after another.
[Host, within your universe, Spirit Roots corresponding to every Dao exist. Though not shocking, they are extremely rare — so rare that most people don't even know that, beyond the five elemental and mutated Spirit Roots, other kinds exist. Even if someone happens to possess one, because of this ignorance, there are almost no methods to identify them. As a result, most possessors of these special Spirit Roots die of old age without ever realizing their potential.]
[And the reason this was included in your Marrow-Cleansing Experience — despite the fact that all the talents stored within the Bloodline Heart Bead have vanished — is that almost every human possesses at least the minimum qualification for one Dao. Those who don't possess even that minimal qualification are considered anomalies in this world, with a probability of appearing less than 0.000...1% — practically non-existent.]
[Reminder: Special Physiques are very different from Spirit Roots.]
Reading the system's explanation, another question formed in Lin Chen's mind, which he asked immediately.
"System, how many Daos do I have qualifications for?"
[For every one — be it existent or non-existent.]
Hearing the system's response, Lin Chen was greatly shocked. He hadn't expected that he possessed qualifications for every Dao. What surprised him even more were the words 'be it existent or non-existent.' He didn't fully understand what that meant, but those words carried an unfathomable depth that made him instinctively cautious.
[Host, any other questions?]
Just as Lin Chen was lost in thought, the system's voice brought him back to reality. He quickly replied that he had no further questions for now.
After receiving his response, the system continued with its introductions.
[Holy-Grade Blood Spirit Root: Having this Spirit Root increases affinity with the Dao of Blood. It gathers blood energy from the surroundings to aid in cultivation.]
[Holy Spirit Root of Ice: Having this Spirit Root increases affinity with the Dao of Frost/Ice. It gathers frost energy from the surroundings to aid in cultivation.]
At this point, after hearing the introduction of one unusual Spirit Root after another, Lin Chen was no longer as surprised as before.
Soon, as the talent introductions concluded, the system began the introduction of his weapon — the Bow of Destruction.
[Bow of Destruction: It is one of the many Dao Weapons corresponding to both the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Archery. It is nearly invulnerable and unbreakable. Comprehending the Dao of Destruction will increase its lethality, while comprehending the Dao of Archery will increase its precision.]
When Lin Chen learned about the Bow of Destruction, he wasn't particularly surprised — as if he had already anticipated its features. Still, he couldn't help but wonder why he had received such powerful weapons so early on — and not just one, but two: the Bow of Destruction and the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword.
However, he soon put these thoughts aside and initiated another simulation.
[1 Spirit Stone consumed. Remaining Spirit Stones: 276 Billion.]
