Chapter 331 Dawn and Dusk, Life and Death Intertwined, The Deep-Sea Demon Whale Taking Advantage of the Situation
Suddenly, the sound of drums rang out on the calm, boundless sea.
The stirring melody shattered the gloomy night, welcoming the arrival of dawn.
On the horizon, brilliant rays of light burst forth, and a vast expanse of life spreads, awakening the entire world.
Feeling the vibrant life force filling his body and soul, Xiao Yun felt a stirring in his heart.
"Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me."
The soul ascends amidst immense vitality, and the entire world seems to unfold before one's eyes.
Following the guidance of his heart, Xiao Yun raised his arms and clapped them in the air.
Boom—
The sound of drums rose from his hands, echoing between heaven and earth.
All things flourish, and the cheers of life resound with the music of drums.
A sense of harmony welled up within me; amidst the symphony, my perception extended infinitely through all living things in the world.
For a moment, it felt as if the whole world was in my hands.
Xiao Yun was deeply moved and swung his arm down again.
Boom!
Everything seemed to tremble at the same time, and the resounding drumbeats dispelled the last vestiges of darkness in the sky.
When the sky brightened, everything returned to silence.
Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the same crimson gold as the sun.
"What a wonderful experience!"
Xiao Yun felt as if he had just experienced another leap in his life and soul.
It's not the usual leap forward that comes from reaching the system's required score, but rather a forced elevation of life and soul levels through an immense amount of vitality.
Thus, we return to the seventh sequence.
"The two paths lead to the same goal, but they are not entirely the same."
Recalling the feeling from just now, Xiao Yun had a sudden realization: "Perhaps, there is more than one way to advance."
The system exists simply to provide players with a convenient, stable, and virtually perfect method for advancement.
However, one can also advance through certain rare treasures, through daily accumulation, or through the "desire to be first" method mentioned by the Eternal Blood Star Spirit.
"Although there are no other complete advanced methodologies at present, such methods will certainly emerge as the world continues to develop."
"For example, newly emerging intelligent races, since they don't have a system, must have other methods of advancement."
Xiao Yun's eyes flickered as he glanced at the several beast-eared girls who were working.
His aggressive and inquisitive gaze made the beast-eared girls tremble, feeling like they were being used as lab rats.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun quickly withdrew his gaze, temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and began to check the harvest from consuming the second twin flower of life.
In addition to restoring dual professions to the seventh rank, which is close to the middle level, an extra skill was also gained.
【The Beginning of Dawn】
[Grade: A]
【Effect 1 - Life Begins: Play the Drum of Life, granting all surrounding targets positive effects such as elation and robustness. If Life Force is also applied, the body to the right that hears the drumbeat will be granted the "Undying" effect, making it immune to fatal wounds for the duration.】
【Effect 2 - Dawn Drums Ring Out, All Things Are in Harmony: During the Drum of Life, all living things within range will harmonize with you, allowing you to draw upon their life force and greatly increase your combat power. The extent of the power increase depends on the intensity of the harmonization.】
[Description: From dusk till dawn, life and death cycle endlessly, and life itself keeps rushing about in this world —]
After seeing the effect, Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly: "It is a matching skill with [The End of Twilight], but judging from the effect alone, it is even stronger than the End of Twilight."
Of course, the specific effects should be viewed from multiple perspectives.
When a desperate battle is needed, the end of twilight is stronger, while when daily combat power and control of the field are needed, the beginning of dawn is superior.
Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and clapped his hands.
Boom—
As the drums sounded, the power of life burst forth.
He sensed a response coming from him and quickly became in sync with him.
"Indeed, non-intelligent life forms, such as plants, have the highest level of assimilation, and can almost borrow all of their life force."
"The level of compatibility with intelligent life is much lower, which seems to be related to whether the other party trusts me."
Simply put, it's similar to determining favorability.
For example, the beast-eared girls have a low level of affection for Xiao Yun, and their coordination is very low, so they can hardly borrow any life force from him.
However, there seems to be a lower limit. For example, the ratmen and minotaurs in the lower deck have a negative affinity rating, but you can still forcibly borrow a trace of their life force.
The only exception is Momo.
Just like the emotions she displayed, her vitality seemed stagnant, completely out of sync with Xiao Yun's.
"I wonder if giving her the title will increase her favorability rating."
However, even without the advantage of talent, Jing Feiwan and Eric's synergy is quite high.
Eric was even more outrageous; in Xiao Yun's perception, his coordination was slightly higher than Jing Feiwan's.
"Loyal enough, not bad."
Xiao Yun cast an approving glance at Eric, who was initially puzzled, but then his face lit up with elation.
"I always said, hard work always pays off!"
Eric was thrilled.
In just a few days, he has gained Xiao Yun's approval through his own efforts, and may very well become a true confidant in the future.
The thought of becoming a legendary confidant made Eric hum softly as he spun the rag in his hand, polishing the mirror casing to a higher shine.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
"However, he should be given a taste of the sweetness, instead of just making empty promises."
"Give him some of the resources you receive later, and when the results are settled at the end of this month, promote him to the sixth tier."
The sixth sequence is considered one of the stronger ones among current players, and it can play a greater role.
Having made this a mindful thought, Xiao Yun once again focused his attention, delving deeper into the [Beginning of Dawn] and [End of Dusk].
Of the two skills.
Just as he had guessed, the combination of the two complementary skills produced some wonderful changes.
The most obvious example is the eternally burning blood trapped within the soul by the power of death.
When Xiao Yun activated two skills simultaneously, the death power outside the Eternal Blood trembled slightly, and the dormant Eternal Blood also shone brightly.
Besides their confrontation, there is also a growing trend of mutual integration and unification between the two.
Although this trend is very weak, even if it can be unified, it will take a long time.
But for Xiao Yun, this was already incredibly good news.
"The day my two talents merge into one will perhaps be the day I have complete control over life and death."
Even if that day is very far away, in the process, as the life-and-death struggle subsides, Xiao Yun will be able to try to mobilize the power of life and death.
With a thought, Xiao Yun unleashed a crimson flame at his fingertips.
The flames were very weak, teetering precariously in the sea breeze.
But that familiar warmth still brought a smile to Xiao Yun's face.
"You're back, old friend."
The crimson flames seemed to sense his joy, dancing on his palm.
For some reason, Xiao Yun suddenly felt an itch in his hands.
Just then, Xiao Yun opened the system and casually refreshed twice.
[Preview 1: As of now, Senlong Harbor has been completely overrun by goblins. Some managed to escape, but they have been cursed and will slowly turn into monsters driven only by the instinct to reproduce.]
[Announcement 2: The overlord-level monster—the Deep Sea Demon Whale—has noticed the anomalies in Senlong Harbor and is preparing to take advantage of the situation. It will attack the survivors' ship in 3 hours and 17 minutes.]
"Senlong Harbor, Deep-Sea Demon Whale — What a coincidence!"
Xiao Yun's lips curled up.
This allows me to check our current strength, acquire another pseudo-legendary combatant, and gather advancement resources for Eric.
They've made an incredible fortune!
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yun manipulated the deep-sea vortex, propelling the [Mirror] forward at full speed.
