107 Narratives (Nearly 5,000 words in large chapters)
For Azhu, who was originally just an ordinary little snake, it was already very talented and lucky to be promoted to Jiaolong.
To this day, there are still only a handful of players who have reached the level of Legendary Demons, and this game experience is a terrible player experience, so that countless players who only take the slightest wrong step will end up with irreparable regrets.
Basically, no one took the Initial Demon that they got when they entered the game, which was simply called "the best in phase" in the introduction, and didn't realize that this "ordinary creature" that was just to familiarize themselves with the system settings and would soon be replaced and eliminated in other games had the only template that could break through the limits of the innate rank that was extremely rare in this game - its real name was "Spirit Incarnation".
However, if you are willing to invest a lot of time and materials in this initial demon, then you will find that there is actually no "race template", and there is basically no bottleneck in the upgrading and promotion of the initial demon.
Although other demons that are started through "persuasion", "domestication", "contract", "summoning", or by completing special tasks have a lower level limit, so that these demons often have a high level when they first start, and their respective templates also give them more powerful and rich skills and characteristics, at the same time, their upper limit also limits the further growth of their strength. Often, the vast majority of demons can only be at their original level, and at most they can only be upgraded to three or five levels, and they can no longer be promoted, and a very small number of rare demons with a mythological background can have the possibility of raising the upper limit of the original level through "evolution" or "advancement".
However, these demons are affected by their respective backgrounds, and often have a template with a fixed level and rank restrictions, and the promotion route is also limited, if you want to be promoted, you not only have to meet the internal conditions that belong to the demons themselves, but also often have to carry out extremely cumbersome camp tasks to unlock the corresponding external conditions, in order to break through the original level restrictions, even so, there are very few that can break through a large rank, and the promotion obtained by this is only limited to basic attributes and some racial talents, The changes are not significant.
Therefore, for the vast majority of people, instead of spending a lot of energy and time on this, it is better to replace other demons with higher "race values", and with the full-level demons that have reached the "maturity stage" in their hands, it is actually much easier to get a new demon of a higher order than to do the promotion task.
And here we have to mention that such as Chijiao, who was originally just an ordinary creature, is that they do not have a real "race template" themselves, so as long as the basic conditions are met, they can "simulate" the approaching and similar high-level templates for advancement. With this, theoretically speaking, there is no "limit", as long as their basic attributes can be raised to the lower limit of promotion required by the high-level template, and the basic characteristics and skills required are configured, they can complete the promotion of their own rank through the corresponding "evolution task" - of course, this also needs to be logical, basically the initial demon of the snake can only choose the existence of the nature of the "snake" in myths and legends for gradual promotion, although it is not so free, But it was far stronger than the other demons who hung themselves from a tree.
It sounds good, and after all these years of the game, it's a secret that isn't a secret, but there are still only a handful of people who have actually taken this path down. This is because the attribute gap between the low-level full-level demon and the high-level primary demon is huge, and the attribute gap that seems to be distributed in each attribute is only a dozen points, but it has become a horizontal barrier in front of the vast majority of people. Many people can't imagine that they can only choose those advanced forms of the same level that basically don't have much attribute difference to gradually improve.
However, while there is no limit to the number of times a demon can perform a "form change" or "template replacement", each change increases the hidden parameters of their own incomplete race template, and thus further limits the path they can use to advance in the future - when they have unknowingly reached the end of the "path", or there is a fault that cannot be bypassed, then they can only change the demon like everyone else.
Bai Ze's luck was that he happened to be in time for the official one-year anniversary celebration. In that series of limited-time events that can be called a big giveaway, you get a large number of snake-related drops, and a promotion opportunity to transform into a youkai without preconditions. Let Chijiao's first advance pass the first attribute moat that allowed many people to be promoted many times before it was finally filled, and then with the large number of rare materials accumulated before, he successfully completed the promotion from the snake demon to the Jiaojing, and thus completely embarked on a broad road referred to as "strong and invincible".
- Of course, there are pros and cons.
Although it only has a handful of promotions, it is endowed with a large number of basic attributes accumulated at a low level with a high-growth template, and a promotion path that can be said to be unlimited at all. However, it also lacks the accumulation of characteristics and skills, and when it comes to choosing a high-level template, it can only sigh helplessly at the dozens of prerequisites.
There are many characteristics and skills in this, all of which can only be mastered by some special templates in the transitional form between the two levels, but for Chijiao, who has already entered a higher stage, there is no possibility of starting again. Therefore, it can be said that although the basic attributes have far exceeded the requirements, the final step of Chijiao from "Jiaojing" to "Jiaolong" is basically impossible to pass, which is also the reason for the "unfathomable dragon" of Chijiao mentioned earlier.
But if it can use the "magic furnace" to give Chijiao an "epic" core, it may be able to use it as a substitute for the "Dragon Ball" to reconstruct its body and soul, so as to cross the two steps that should have gone through the "Leaping Dragon Gate" and "Crossing the Thunder Pool" - that is, flying against the current in the thunderstorm, and refining the soul in the thundercloud, after being annihilated by the thundercloud, with the previous accumulation, it forcibly condensed a body of bones and blood souls in the void to turn into a dragon ball, and reshaped the body into a dragon body- Directly throwing flesh and soul into the magic furnace, and reshaping the body with the "Third Law - Heavenly Cup" of the Holy Grail War, in this way, you can also follow the steps of "Walking the Dragon" to advance to the next rank, thus avoiding those shortcomings that cannot be made up by common sense.
As for whether the template after this promotion can still find the mythological prototype, anyway, if the red dragon is really turned into a red dragon, then as the highest level of mysterious "dragon", there is no need for any prototype, because the real dragon is the only one in the myths and legends around the world, there is no semicolon, and each dragon is unique, so it doesn't matter if you need to refer to and follow the rules of the old mythology in the low-level form.
"Well, this idea seems to be quite achievable, but for the time being, I don't need to be too anxious, and before that, I need to think about my own problems."
After having a general idea of Chijiao's future progress, Bai Ze began to think about some things that were more closely related to him.
"I didn't expect the magic furnace to be such a structure, and since this is the case, then the magic furnace condensed from the totem tattoo belonging to the job agent Avenger that I originally brought back should also be composed of a combination of three similar independent structures - in this case, maybe it can also be disassembled and reconstructed based on this."
Due to the different rules of the world, and the magic foundation has not been established, in addition to providing him with a stable existence of the "clone", it basically does not have any supporting abilities, not to mention, it is also quite limited in many aspects. There are also a lot of conflicts with his current ability system, so he always feels that everything is not smooth, and his own upgrade direction has become a mess, and he has long thought about when he has time to deal with this thing, not to mention worrying about what "backdoor procedures" there will be, even if it is to protect himself, he must pay more attention.
"I don't know what the three concepts make up the core of my piece, and it doesn't come in handy these days, and even if it is accidentally broken, it doesn't have any effect, so it's worth trying."
The young man who had already made a choice in his heart thought that it was better to do this sooner rather than later, and he was not without success.
"Subspace is really a good place, the effect of dimensional turbulence there is comparable to a perfect dissociation technique - Ah Zhu, I still need you to do a favor, take this thing to the previous place and turn around again, as long as you see the core structure in it being disassembled, bring it back."
Bai Ze, who said this, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest, and a large number of gray-white complex tattoos appeared on the surface of his body exposed outside his clothes, and as a rune ball exuding a rich black glow was taken out of his body, those disturbing tattoos were immediately separated from his body as if they were being pulled, and quickly retracted and rolled into the rune ball, and in a moment, a "gem" that faintly saw countless illusions flickering on the surface was held in his hand, and several painting scrolls and a kitchen knife also detached from his body and fell to the ground.
"Take it, go and go back quickly, and pay attention to safety."
Chi Jiao, who took the rune ball he handed over, didn't say much, just nodded, and his body flashed and turned into thunder and fire and broke through the air.
And with the five senses shared with Chijiao, he once again saw the "Rune Ball", which had originally condensed into a stable whole and even manifested a quasi-material form with energy, seemed even more vulnerable under the "blowing" of the subspace storm!
Almost in the blink of an eye, it spreads apart like soaked vermicelli; Among them, the "filth" that originally penetrated into every structure from the evil thoughts of mortals was almost the next moment after those rune chains were "blown away", as if they had been washed away by the dirt of the clothes rinsed in the washing machine; And all the "disguises" that enshrined the thoughts and beliefs of mortals were also destroyed one after another, leaving only some of the original thoughts derived from the law that could still be struggled and maintained a little!
- Speaking of which, even if you can barely construct part of the power and spirituality of a heroic spirit, from the perspective of mystical energy level, even if it is not a complete "epic" creation, how can it be stronger than the performance of these "magic furnaces" of ordinary "legendary treasures" is so poor, it is not as good as being strictly speaking now, it is still just a legendary-level Chijiao, this is just because of its acquired insufficiency.
The magical cores that are enough to reproduce the "heroes" that exist in the legends are definitely epic treasures, and the mysterious essence contained in them is absolutely extraordinary, but the problem is that the "material foundation" that makes them up is difficult to match their concepts. It's like a car made of iron, which can barely drive at low speeds, but as long as it encounters an accident, it will easily turn into scrap metal.
If the strength of the "heroes" who are really active in their own era is 10, then when they are transformed into "Heroic Spirits" after death, because they have lost their original destiny and divine body, their strength can often be left about 6 or so, which is considered good - as for some people who have doubled their strength after death, it is just because the level of strength during his lifetime is too low, and compared to other Heroic Spirits, it is still a level that barely reaches the average. Compared with the "Servants" summoned in the Holy Grail War, most of their strength is only 1 or 2 level compared to when they were alive, and it only depends on whether they relied more on God-given divine power or acquired skills in the past - this is precisely because it is obviously an energy supply core made from the same template, but the Heroic Spirit is called the "Spirit Furnace", and the Servant is called the "Magic Furnace", which is because there is a qualitative gap in the strength level between the two.
It was also less than a moment's effort, and Chijiao, who had successfully returned with three rune chains that were about to leave, came to the young man.
In it, he saw the great being who had been transformed into darkness by the opposition to goodness cut off by the light and fell, the innocent boy who had been chosen to hang upside down on the cross and be abused to death, and the dark figure that spread out from under the scarlet scepter made of the blood dripping from the boy's body......
"The Tower, the Fool, the Scepter—if you think about it, it fits in with the Avenger's Servant, but it's really an unlucky concept, and this structure is full of self-sacrifice and too strong and dark fatalistic connotations, and it's really not reassuring."
That being said, but now with Bai Ze's family background, he doesn't have the background to pick and choose.
And although it seems to be a lot of slots, it is actually an extremely high-level and very orthodox royal combination in the field of occultism, especially in the field of religion. Such a set of conceptual configurations is a standard "Messiah" template, starting with a legendary figure at the level of the "Holy Spirit", and at least reaching the level of the "Holy Son", that is, the level of the legendary Jesus Christ and Mohammed, you can imagine how bright the future is.
The only problem is that if this kind of template wants to be used well, it must be like those well-known gods in history, whether it is cheating and abducting (such as Ye Ge), or smashing and looting (such as Mo Ye), a large group of disciples and believers must be gathered together, and through the final establishment of the corresponding earthly divine kingdom, this can be successfully promoted, otherwise it is difficult to achieve anything.
Although this road seems to be a smooth road, but for today's era, it is really impossible to get more pitted, and this kind of belief that basically relies entirely on "external forces" is not easy to walk, and it is often difficult to extricate itself from people in the future, so Bai Ze himself is not very optimistic, but as I said before, in the case that there is basically no good choice now, it is better to have a clear and clear road than to keep spinning in place.
Not to mention, even if there is a journey with rich experience left by his predecessors, he does not necessarily have to be like those people.
"I'm tired."
Taking it from Chijiao's mouth, the furnace body that had been disintegrated into three "magic furnaces" that were coupled with each other and engraved magic.
The various "additions" that originally belonged to Avenger have basically dissipated, and it is naturally impossible to use the only remaining conceptual structure as in the "Servant Template" in the past.
- But I have to say that for Bai Ze, who already has a set of basic spirit bodies with the "Key of Solomon", this form of existence makes him more flexible and convenient to use.
