The card showed six blurry figures whose faces could not be seen clearly.
However, it didn't matter.
For players, it was not difficult to recognize them at all.
Based on their hairstyles and the angles of their clothing, it was clear they were the six Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoys besides Leon.
Entering the event.
[You are on a planet full of scars and devastation, with no traces of life to be seen.]
[Not long ago, the Swarm swept through this place, leaving behind no life.]
[Suddenly, a large swarm of insects flies toward you, seemingly about to devour you completely.]
[The sky-blotting insects feel incredibly troublesome. You fall into a desperate bloody battle.]
[No one knows how much time has passed. The insects are endless and cannot be exterminated. Just as you are heavily injured and on the verge of death, a wild wind suddenly sweeps across without warning.]
[Countless vermin are torn into pieces by the wind. Their残躯 and fragments touch an unknown light and disappear without a trace.]
[A figure bathed in radiance flaps their wings and approaches you…]
[In your dazed consciousness, you hear that person call themselves a Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoy. Their name is——]
Choices:
① Ayla
Randomly obtain 20 Curios, excluding negative Curios.
② Luna
Randomly obtain 10 Path-related enhanced Blessings, guaranteed to include 3-star Blessings.
③ Nova
Remove all negative Curios. For each one removed, increase Critical Damage by 100%.
④ Selena
Obtain the event-exclusive Curio [Heaven-Bestowed Sacred Feather].
⑤ Miyu
Discard all Blessings unrelated to your Path and obtain all Blessings related to your Path.
⑥ Atlas
Obtain 5 Curios related to Cosmic Fragments and 5000 Cosmic Fragments, excluding negative Curios.
A total of six choices were laid out, leaving Ah Xian stunned.
However, her first sentence had nothing to do with these rewards.
"Good thing the writers didn't go insane and stab people in the Simulated Universe. Since Leon wasn't in Event One, he must be in Event Two, right?"
"All six Sacred Envoys' rewards are pretty good, each with their own strengths. Who to choose as the best depends on your development."
"The other rewards are clearly written, only Heaven-Bestowed Sacred Feather is unknown. Let's pick it and see."
[You hear the young girl call herself Selena. She extends her left wing and gently strokes your cheek, helping you heal your injuries.]
["The heavens pity you. May you never meet the time of ██."]
[The girl leaves behind a gentle blessing, takes out a pure white feather and places it in your hand, then spreads her wings and leaves.]
[Obtained Curio: Heaven-Bestowed Sacred Feather.]
When they saw the Curio's effect, not only Ah Xian but countless players were shocked.
The effect wasn't numerous, but it was explosive.
While possessing this Curio:
Upon entering battle, reduce damage received by 50% and increase Speed by 50%.
When losing HP, restore 50% of Max HP.
When attacking, increase damage multiplier by 50%.
"WTF!"
[This Curio is so broken!]
[I'm willing to call it the strongest. It combines damage reduction, healing, speed boost, and damage increase all in one. Too terrifying.]
[This event is really hard to trigger. I've encountered Ruan Mei three times but never seen the Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoys.]
[Maybe your luck just isn't on this side. I've encountered the Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoys twice but still haven't seen Ruan Mei in the Locust Plague yet.]
[No wonder there was a feather-like Curio that I could never roll. So it's in this exclusive event.]
[The probability is a bit cursed.]
[It's so strong, being cursed is normal.]
"Losing HP directly restores half… plus 50% damage reduction…"
"Doesn't that mean you don't even need to bring a sustain unit anymore? No one would still get one-shot with 50% damage reduction, right?"
"Let me try."
Ah Xian opened the team editing interface and replaced the 4-star Leon with a support character.
After thinking about the healing condition, she swapped the main DPS Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae for Blade.
The next battle was just the second boss.
Among them was the Abundance Deer.
Players who had suffered in the Cosmic Locust Plague all knew how disgusting the Abundance Deer was.
If your development wasn't good enough, fighting it was extremely torturous.
The Abundance Deer could heal, had crowd control, damage reduction, high-damage instant-kill skills, and its normal attacks hurt a lot.
Huh?
Wasn't this the same as the effect of Heaven-Bestowed Sacred Feather!
Entering battle.
Ah Xian deliberately did not use any character Ultimates and only used basic attacks to test survivability.
She discovered that the healing mechanism truly triggered based on the character losing HP, not just when taking damage.
Every time Blade consumed his own HP with his skills, he would restore 50% of his Max HP.
It was hilarious — his HP bar simply wouldn't drop.
"Everyone wait for me. I'll relaunch the game and try again!"
Without another word, Ah Xian pressed Alt+F4, closed the game, and logged back in.
At this time, the only way to restart the Simulated Universe was to exit the game and relaunch it.
Pressing ESC only allowed abandoning the battle and settling early, which was very inconvenient.
Many players had given feedback to the developers, calling for a restart option.
When it would be implemented, or whether it would be implemented at all, the developers had never responded.
After logging back in, Ah Xian left only Blade in the team.
She slashed the Abundance Deer with one blade to enter battle, then pressed the V key to go AFK.
The scene was hard to watch.
Blade relied on the perfect synergy between his own skill mechanics and the Curio to solo the Abundance Deer.
When the battle ended, his HP was still full.
No…
It would be more accurate to say that any HP he lost would be fully restored in the next moment.
Ah Xian tested other characters as well. They were similarly hard to kill.
"Extremely tanky while also dealing high damage!"
"This is truly a blessing for solo clear content creators. As long as you get Heaven-Bestowed Sacred Feather, your margin for error becomes maxed out."
"It's just that the refresh probability is a bit low."
"Everyone, has anyone rolled my husband — that is, the second Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoy?"
[Never seen it.]
[+1.]
[I searched the whole internet. Some people have seen it, but the conditions are unknown.]
"Then I'll just grind hard."
Ah Xian didn't mind.
Didn't know the conditions?
No problem, she would make it happen.
The Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoys were all good people. They would definitely show her mercy.
Thus, for the next three hours, Ah Xian went from full of confidence to gradually doubting her life…
She had filled up the entire event compendium, but she still couldn't roll the missing second Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoy.
Just as she was about to temporarily give up, someone finally brought a relatively reliable guide.
[Extra, extra! Someone has summarized the trigger conditions!]
"What what what, speak quickly!"
[Enter Swarm grids at least 3 times, have no fewer than 2 negative Curios on you, then walk into an event grid. There's a chance to encounter it.]
[Remember it has to be a blue event grid. It cannot be a reward or adventure grid, nor can it be a purple question mark Swarm event.]
"…No wonder I couldn't roll it no matter what…"
Those who entered many Swarm grids might not have 2 negative Curios.
Those who had 2 negative Curios might not enter Swarm grids.
Moreover, if you were running the Propagation Path, the cost-effectiveness of choosing blue event grids was very low.
Wasn't it better to collect full Propagation Blessings and steamroll?
Ah Xian suddenly understood and felt relieved.
Next came the moment of verification.
This time, after spending about half an hour, she finally met the conditions and luckily rolled the subsequent Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoy event.
However, the event name was not called "Two".
Instead, like Ruan Mei, it had its own name.
[Heavenly Feather Sacred Envoy (Leon)]
