Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

To evolve from Legend Rank to Mythical Rank, a Spiritual Beast needed to accomplish three things.

First was crafting a piece of Corona Equipment.

Just like before, crafting the Corona Equipment required at least two, and at most nine, Corona Equipment Materials and one Equipment Forging Stone. The more materials used, the higher the grade of the perks after crafting; however, the success rate correspondingly decreased.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated in the rules, it was anticipated that under similar conditions, the success rate for crafting Corona Equipment would be much lower than that for Moon Halo Equipment.

Just like how Moon Halo Equipment had a lower success rate than Starshine Equipment.

Successfully crafting a piece of Corona Equipment was merely the first step in the evolution.

After that, it was necessary to enhance the previous Moon Halo Equipment.

Equipment Enhancement Stones were still used for the enhancement, but the amount required increased tenfold, and the requirements became more demanding.

Each enhancement required 10 Equipment Enhancement Stones, and the probability of maintaining the original level after a failed attempt decreased from 67% to 50%, while the probability of dropping one level remained at 33%.

As for the missing 17% probability…

It was for dropping two levels.

Only by enhancing the two pieces of previous Moon Halo Equipment into Corona Equipment was the second step of breaking through to the Mythical Rank completed.

The third and final step was much more difficult than the first two.

The Spiritual Beast needed to fuse three pieces of Corona Equipment, forming a single Mythical Artifact.

A Mythical Artifact could simultaneously possess the effects of all three pieces of Corona Equipment and further strengthen these perks, significantly enhancing the potency of all three.

Only upon fusing with the Mythical Artifact could a Spiritual Beast complete its evolution to the Mythical Rank.

But to obtain such a mighty object, there were naturally steep costs and risks involved.

Each fusion failure resulted in one randomly chosen piece of Corona Equipment getting damaged.

As a result, a player needed to craft a brand-new piece of Corona Equipment and attempt the fusion again with the original two.

The success rate of fusing the Corona Equipment into a Mythical Artifact depended on the level of the three pieces of equipment.

Even with three pieces of level 10 Corona Equipment, the success rate of fusion could only achieve 10%. If the level of the Corona Equipment was too low, it might not even reach 1%.

Craft, enhance, fuse.

Only those who could successfully complete these three steps had the right to evolve.

But besides progression and evolution, there was a third, all-new requirement for the Mythical Rank.

[Ritual]

Qin Chuan clicked into the Ritual interface, which contained only two brief lines of text.

[King of Water: Compel countless creatures within hundreds of thousands of miles of the marine realm to be wholeheartedly loyal, offer the corpse of a Water Attribute Mythical Rank as a sacrificial offering, and perform the sacrifice above the marine realm.]

[The Ritual can be activated after fulfilling the [Advancement] [Evolution] conditions.]

Looking at the content of the Ritual, Qin Chuan felt a slow sinking in his heart.

What did a marine realm of hundreds of thousands of miles imply?

Not even the Pacific Ocean of Blue Star could match this scale, not to mention the Dream World.

Although beyond the Dream World's continents lay the boundless ocean, people had already tried and failed, the existence of an air wall-like barrier prevented access.

It was a place beyond reach.

Just this environmental constraint alone made Water Flower's Ritual impossible.

And the Mythical Rank corpse mentioned subsequently was equally unattainable.

The only place where Mythical Rank creatures might exist within the Dream World was the SSS grade Secret Realm, but these Mythical beings existed in a special form, not as flesh and blood creatures, and they would disappear immediately upon being defeated.

It was equally impossible to kill a Mythical Rank member of an Alien Race on Blue Star and bring it into the Dream World.

The Special Affairs Group had considered the possibility of dissecting the bodies of these aliens to analyze their power after they were killed when the instances appeared, but this plan was aborted before it even began.

The bodies of Alien Races invading Blue Star quickly disintegrated upon their demise.

In other words, Water Flower's Ritual was impossible in the Dream World.

Unless…

The map of the Heavenly Dome Rank surfaced in Qin Chuan's mind.

The Heavenly Dome Rank represented a world larger and more complete than the Dream World, where marine realms of hundreds of thousands of miles did exist, and they were numerous.

If the corpses of Mythical Rank beings did not immediately vanish in the Heavenly Dome Rank, then Water Flower's required Ritual could be possible.

So… did Water Flower need to enter the Heavenly Dome Rank to achieve a breakthrough to the Mythical Rank?

That was hardly good news.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn to look at the other four little ones.

It shouldn't be that the rituals required for all Spiritual Beasts to breakthrough to the Mythical Rank are this demanding...

"I need the Heavenly Dome Rank to complete the rituals for all five of my Spiritual Beasts," Lin Yue's grave voice rang out, shattering Qin Chuan's slim hope.

He quickly checked the rituals for Snow Cone, Silver Horn, Little Black, and Rock, and then let out a heavy sigh.

All required the Heavenly Dome Rank to complete.

As far as they knew, the passage connecting to the Heavenly Dome Rank was not in the Dream World.

It was a channel in the real world, created by the descent of instances.

But that channel only allowed beings of the Heavenly Dome Rank to pass through.

Transcendents of Blue Star could not use the channel to go to the world beyond.

This was the barrier between the beings of the material world and the Heavenly Dome Rank.

To enter the Heavenly Dome Rank, there was only one possibility left.

That was the next world update.

According to everyone's guess, after the next world update, there would certainly be ways to access the Heavenly Dome Rank.

So now, he had to retract his previous words.

The real way for him and Lin Yue to obtain the Mythical Heart wasn't among the dozens of listed methods, only four, but rather three.

Only by gathering enough Mythical Hearts through other methods, becoming Mythical Level Players, and causing the next world update, could he and Lin Yue have a chance to travel to the Heavenly Dome Rank.

Then, in the Heavenly Dome Rank, they could perform a series of rituals to breakthrough the Spiritual Beasts to the Mythical Rank.

"Without breaking through to the Mythical Rank, can we still advance to Mythical Level Players?" Lin Yue's brows were slightly furrowed, her face full of worries.

She hadn't had time to check the requirements for advancing to Mythical Level Players.

"We can advance." Qin Chuan pulled Lin Yue's hand, "Take a look at your panel."

"Hm?" Prompted by Qin Chuan, Lin Yue quickly saw the content about the Mythical Heart, and her expression instantly became animated.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan opened the global channel.

As expected, the announcement of his breakthrough had already appeared in the global channel.

[Congratulations to player [Luo] for advancing to Legendary Level Player!]

[Due to a large number of powerful Legend Rank Spiritual Beasts appearing, the Dream World's capacity has further declined, more numerous and higher-level Time-Space Rifts have broken free from suppression and are about to descend!]

[New SSS-level Secret Realms will appear after the next Dream World entrance opens!]

Looking at the frantic discussions in the channel, Qin Chuan took a deep breath.

The next Dream Day, huh...

After calming down, he no longer felt the panic that had beset him when he learned that the Spiritual Beasts couldn't breakthrough in the Dream World.

If anything, he would just conquer 100 SSS-level Secret Realms to become a Mythical Level Player.

As long as he contracted the sixth Pet Beast and completed all the breakthrough preparations apart from the rituals before advancing to Mythical Level, entering the Heavenly Dome Rank wouldn't cause him any worry.

"It seems, our next breakthrough is not quite the same as before," Lin Yue said after finishing reading all the ways to obtain the Mythical Heart, shaking her head in resignation.

One could imagine, once they became Mythical Level Players and established the path to the Heavenly Dome Rank, it would be much easier for those who followed to advance to Mythical Level.

The pioneers plant the trees, and those who come later enjoy the shade; they were the pioneers at this moment.

"Without having Mythical Rank Spiritual Beasts before entering the Heavenly Dome Rank, our situation might be even more dangerous than previously imagined," Lin Yue glanced at Qin Chuan, her eyes filled with concern.

This past month, nearly all the instances were cleared by the two of them together.

She was aware of how many Mythical Rank projections the young man before her had slain during the instance conquests.

Those Mythical Rank beings that hadn't truly fallen must loathe Qin Chuan to their very core, just waiting for him to enter the Heavenly Dome Rank to unleash their furious revenge.

"But aren't you still by my side?" Qin Chuan pinched Lin Yue's hand and smiled lightly.

He wasn't too worried about those seeking revenge.

After all...

He could use Time Stop in the Heavenly Dome Rank.

He was certain of that.

With Time Stop, there's no need to panic.

He had already accumulated over six minutes of Time Stop time, and when he became a Mythical Level Player, he would certainly have more.

So...

"Let them come at us."
