Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Harvey was indeed a hero, he was the biggest gap in this Land of Joy."

Three Pioneers all fell silent.

Guang Tongchen suddenly really wanted to get to know this man named Harvey.

Hero to hero, they all admire each other.

"Harvey Nierbas... what happened to him later? Where did he go? Is he still alive?" Guang Tongchen couldn't help but ask.

He hadn't expected that a foreigner from the Advanced World, a place like Longxia, could achieve so much.

How powerful was Harvey?

Could he be the strongest human to date?

Guang Tongchen grew even more curious about him.

Zhou Baiyu nodded:

"If my intuition is correct, then he should still be alive, and you have seen him."

Everyone was startled. Guang Tongchen was the most confused:

"I have seen him? Where? When?"

"The last time we were put together in a team recruit."

Zhou Baiyu's words left Guang Tongchen without reaction for a moment, but soon he slowly came back to his senses.

"The asylum? The owner of that maniacal laughter...could it be?"

Zhou Baiyu nodded, affirming:

"Yes, my guess is so, and I believe my chances of being wrong are low."

"I was thinking before that through that recruitment, I encountered the Land of No Light and got a lead on the divine treasures."

"What about you, Chairman? Was your mission really just an ordinary adventure filled with the joy of the mentally ill?"

With that said, it dawned on Guang Tongchen.

Yes, it was all in version 2.30; at that time, I was wondering which of the two concurrent recruits had more value.

Now I think that perhaps both were valuable.

At that time, I also could have gotten a clue about the divine treasures.

So it wasn't that Zhou Baiyu had more information, but when I encountered the chance to obtain it...

I didn't seize such an opportunity.

Guang Tongchen said:

"It seems I underestimated the value of that asylum. Now that I think about it, there are many problems with such an asylum's existence—it shouldn't even be there."

Zhou Baiyu smiled and said:

"But maybe that place is the real...paradise."

"How so?" Guang Tongchen asked.

Zhou Baiyu seemed reflective:

"From the Land of No Light to the Land of Joy, the region where the Gu Tower in Linxiang City was, even that cruise ship—all these places that house normal humans... in the end, you find that there's a conspiracy. Humans are merely materials."

"Perhaps only places like asylums... are the real places where one can survive."

"I have to say, humans in the Advanced World are really resilient. I think people from our world would probably die out in such a harsh world, right?"

No one answered that question.

It's hard to say for things that haven't happened.

"Isn't what we do meant to prevent that place from becoming like this one?" Guang Tongchen said.

Zhou Baiyu smiled:

"Yes, the things that happen here won't happen there."

The island in the sky finally made contact with the sea surface, the scorched earth quickly eroded by the water.

It was in this moment that the people began to see the clearance settlement in their eyes.

Although they had encountered a dark history and realized through Jiang Xianwu's words that the future enemy might not be humans, not the Corrupted Kind, nor demons, but higher-dimensional gods...

They were still incredibly excited when they saw the clearance evaluation.

Guang Tongchen, Waking Dream, and Wu Xin all received an SSS rating and a large amount of Pioneer points.

All three gained skills relevant to their respective professions.

On Guang Tongchen's settlement panel, there was such a message.

[Obtained the Dark Walker profession's secret skill, Senses Plunder.]

Although he had not yet confirmed the strength of this ability through the status bar, something referred to as a secret would naturally be no ordinary skill.

Not just Guang Tongchen, Wu Xin also acquired a remarkable ability.

[Obtained the Fate Walker profession's secret skill, Fate Slot Expansion.]

Wu Xin yelled excitedly upon seeing this ability.

He was actually quite a composed person, and his loss of composure showed how clearly he understood the importance of fate slots.

Gatherers amass Devine Imprints, but placing Devine Imprints requires fate slots.

Everyone has only one fate slot.

Just like Zhou Baiyu, who has placed "My Path Is Not Lonely," hence he cannot also place "Burn the Boats."

One must choose to switch the Divine Imprint.

But once a fate slot is expanded, it means Wu Xin can accommodate two different Divine Imprints.

This seems to be an increase from one to two.

But in reality, this is just like the difference between one and two Divine Imprints on the Corrupted Kind; the gap is vast.

Because Divine Imprints can combine to produce different effects, supplement each other, or even spread in influence.

For instance, the bearer of "My Path Is Not Lonely" easily encounters fellow travelers, and under its influence, everyone with them gains the effect of "Burn the Boats."

Wu Xin had thought this could only be achieved at the fourth tier, but unexpectedly, after this recruitment... he received a skill that could expand the fate slot.

Waking Dream did not obtain a profession skill but received a general skill—"Infinite Courage."

This ability seemed to have a significant restraint on the Fear Demons. Of course, relatively speaking, he was the least lucky one.
