Chapter 4, Fusion, Five-Star Skill Card - Salted Fish Stab

Therefore, what appears after the cube rotates is not the previously decomposed cosmic energy of the three-star resource card, but rather a small light sphere

Shaking his head to cast aside the chaotic thoughts, Lin Xiao focused on merging a trace of the divine essence of reproduction into the Gray Mist Fishman summoning card, and soon a new card appeared in the palm of his hand

Unfortunately, Lin Xiao currently has very little faith value, and this set of reproduction rules is also incomplete, making it extremely difficult to complete.

Quickly throw the Gray Mist Merman card into the cube to decompose and extract a light sphere, then throw the species reproduction card into it for decomposition, extracting the reproduction rule contained within the card.

In comparing the two options, Lin Xiao ultimately chose the fivefold burst option

Saints need not be mentioned; this is extremely difficult to obtain, and even true gods may not necessarily possess it. Fanatical believers are the most fervent followers of generally weaker demigods. Devout believers serve as the backbone, typically acting as the clergy of the sect, while true believers represent the core of the followers, constituting the largest group among the deities' adherents.

The massive stone pillar exploded in the middle, sending countless fragments flying over ten meters away

In his mind, he constructed the operations that needed to be implemented. As Lin Xiao's thoughts stirred, under the control of the power of the magic cube, two skill orbs slowly approached each other, merging rapidly like two bubbles. Then, the creation energy that permeated the space of the magic cube quickly surged into the orbs, causing the white orb to brighten rapidly as it absorbed the creation energy

Boom

By using the Gray Mist Fishman summoning card as the main focus, decompose the species reproduction card, extract the reproduction rules contained within, and then integrate them into the Gray Mist Fishman card, one will obtain a...

Preloading refers to the process of initially loading into a designated family within the divine realm, but it cannot be used immediately. Certain conditions must be met in order to activate it

Five-Star Skill Card - Unknown Skill (Epic): Limited to piercing-type weapons, it allows the user to attack a target by crossing a distance of fifty yards at an extremely fast speed, inflicting damage up to five times the maximum attack and ignoring 50% of the target's defense

Strictly speaking, if this reproductive rule is powerful enough, and with a significant investment of faith and divine power, there is a chance to forge a true reproductive divinity. This can serve as a foundation to become a demigod, and with further substantial divine power investment, ultimately solidify into the divine office of reproduction

The false believers need not be mentioned; they are akin to those who do not truly believe in deities, only occasionally clasping their hands in prayer when observing others in their faith. Such individuals are not regarded by the deities as part of their belief system.

This is a type of enhancement direction he has chosen, pure burst.

The other gray mist mermen looked at him with strange gazes. Lin Xiao drew the bone knife from his waist and pointed it at a stone pillar that jutted out of the sea, two meters high and soaked black by the seawater, over thirty meters away. In the next moment, the water beneath his feet exploded, and a shadow of a merman dragged a long ribbon of wind, breaking through the seawater and crashing into the stone pillar

Five-Star Species Card - Gray Mist Merman (Epic): Acquire 400 Gray Mist Merfolk at once, who possess double the breeding rate and double the survival rate of offspring.

Another enhancement direction causes triple damage, but the attack ignores 50% of the defense and possesses four special effects: piercing, armor-breaking, bleeding, and tearing

Hmm? Are there still two enhancement directions?

A true man must be strong

After all, it is of epic quality

Casually name this newly synthesized skill 'Salted Fish Stab', set it aside, and then take out the two previously stored cards, the four-star Fishman card and the five-star Reproduction card; these two cards can also be fused.

His idea is quite simple: to focus on the skill "Skill Thrust," integrating it with another skill "Excruciating Pain," and then using the decomposed three-star resource cards as nourishment to enhance the fused skill, thereby obtaining a more powerful skill that combines the advantages of both "Thrust" and "Excruciating Pain".

In almost an instant, Lin Xiao sensed that more than ten lines of faith had thickened at that moment, as ten shallow believers transformed into true believers

All the gray mist mermen stared at him in astonishment, remaining motionless with their mouths agape in surprise. After a while, as Lin Xiao slowly turned around, he raised the shattered half of the bone knife high in the air and let out a thunderous roar. Only then did the numerous mermen react, excitedly rushing over to surround the stone pillar that had been shattered by his strike, chattering animatedly.

After loading the skills, Lin Xiao preloaded another species card into the divine realm, which then transformed into a beam of golden light and directly entered the commonly used descent shell.

Saint, fanatic, devout believer, true believer, general believer, false believer, non-believer

When passing through a patch of reefs, he suddenly let out a strange cry and shouted to the other fishermen:

It is too powerful

After ten seconds, all the creation energy merged into the light sphere, and the cube stopped rotating. He extended his hand to press down on the cube, which quickly shrank in his palm until it disappeared, replaced by a light sphere radiating blinding brilliance. Then, right beneath his eyelids, it slowly flattened, transforming into a card that emitted a faint glow.

Lin Xiao could not help but extend his palm, gazing at the magic cube outlined by the strands of light in his hand, and he couldn't help but click his tongue

The arriving Lin Xiao quickly summoned the fishmen, who had spent most of the day fishing, back to the tribe, while simultaneously activating the preloaded skills, being the first to master the skill of piercing salted fish

For deities, the hierarchy of believers ranges from high to low as follows

The golden hand grasped the Rubik's Cube, merging it into the palm. Lin Xiao soared into the sky, appearing high above. Two cards were laid out before him. Rubbing his hands together, he did not load them immediately; instead, he first consumed 10,000 units of faith value to pre-load this skill.

The number of summons remains unchanged, but the effect of the reproduction card has been weakened by 50%. However, the effect has transformed from a buff lasting ten years to an inherent trait of the species. Just this aspect alone makes the direct value of this card ten times higher than the combined value of the previous two cards, with potential value exceeding a hundred times.

Normally, divine beings like Lin Xiao, who have just established their divine realm, are unable to demonstrate divine miracles, making it difficult to enhance their faith. This group of gray mist fishmen still benefits from being initial vassals, which is why there is such a high quality of faith. If it were to preach to the indigenous people of the outer realms, it would be uncertain whether any progress could be made in ten years.

The followers further down are also referred to as superficial believers, and they essentially hold little value; ten superficial believers are worth less than one true believer

It was a glimmer of gold finer than a hair, exuding an enchanting charm

Ten minutes later, a group of gray mist fishmen surrounded Lin Xiao as he returned to the tribe. In the astonished gazes of the other tribesmen, they rushed to the central altar of the tribe, kneeling before the altar and continuously praying.

This time he did not choose to decompose, but rather to extract, refining the skills from the cards

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and chose one of the options

The conditions set by Lin Xiao are quite simple; one must reach the level of true believer in faith in order to activate this preloaded skill

Subsequently, Lin Xiao extracted the final two-star skill card 'Excruciating Pain' and transformed it into a smaller orb of light

The fishman leader, who was fishing with his kin, suddenly paused for a moment. In the next second, a flash of golden light appeared in his pupils, and he returned to his original state. The surrounding fishmen were swimming back and forth in the shallow sea, chasing after a school of sardines, completely unaware that the leader had changed.

Just now, the great Lord of the Gray Mist bestowed upon me new powers
