"Infinite Life? It certainly sounds more formidable than Sea House Addition, but this 'Infinite' is still unclear as to which kind of infinite it refers to."

Regarding this infinite, Zhang Yanhang felt that it could imply many things, but he believed it most likely pointed to two major possibilities. The first possibility is that this 'Infinite' simply denotes limitless, without bounds, meaning life without an endpoint, allowing one to live indefinitely forever.

The second possibility Zhang Yanhang considered is that it might refer to the 'Infinite Tribulation.' He was very familiar with the Infinite Tribulation, as it is one of the most crucial settings in the primordial worldview.

Theoretically, only Saints can survive the Infinite Tribulation, while all other beings, including the world itself, would be obliterated by it.

It's said that the Infinite Tribulation is an ultimate cataclysm impacting the entire world, and all affiliated worlds within the whole conceptual group universe (Three Thousand Great Worlds, Three Thousand Small Worlds). Even Saints rely on the Heavenly Dao Consciousness to narrowly escape this calamity, and the entire world will welcome a new cycle of rebirth after the Infinite Tribulation.

In other words, it's somewhat akin to a server crashing with too many bugs, then auto-rebooting. Except for the GM with permissions within the server, all other data is wiped clean, and the world returns to chaos.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang tended to believe that this 'Infinite' in Infinite Life might not just refer to life without bounds but to a lifespan reaching the extent of an Infinite Tribulation.

After all, based on Zhang Yanhang's past experiences, a XXX-Grade Talent's tier level is at least above the Eighth Rank. By his limited judgment, just reaching the Sixth Tier means deification, and who knows what the Eighth Rank entails—it might be on par with Creator God or God. Therefore, surviving an Infinite Tribulation might very well be normal.

"But then again, who knows if there's really a chance to grow enough to endure the Infinite Tribulation in the future…"

Of course, simply reaching a lifespan of one Primordial Cycle is already daunting for Zhang Yanhang, let alone the Infinite Tribulation, as just one Primordial Cycle means 129,600 years.

And one Primordial Tribulation equals 50,000 Yuanhui; as for the Infinite Tribulation, it equals 480 million tribulations, so one Infinite Tribulation converts to over 300 trillion (one trillion equals a hundred billion) years.

"Forget it, I'll just check the Talent Effect first; anything about Infinite Tribulation is certainly something to deal with after retirement. After all, even something a year from now feels unimaginably distant for someone like me, who is about to ascend to the Fifth Rank in just a month, let alone the Infinite Tribulation."

While saying this, Zhang Yanhang opened the Talent Effect of the XXX-Grade Talent [Infinite Life] to check.

[Infinite Life]

[Quality: XXX (0/177147)]

[Ability One: Unwearied—Constitution +19 (+4).]

[Ability Two: Energetic—Physical Strength +760% (+240%).]

[Ability Three: Longevity—Life Span +500 years (+160 years) +20 years (+8 years) ×100[Constitution] = 2500 years (+960 years).]

[Ability Four: Longevity—When the remaining life span is greater than 1000 years [currently 3480 years (+960 years)], increase Attack Power by 3480 (Life Span) ×0.2% (+0.1%) = 696% (+444%), increase defensive power by 3480 (Life Span) ×0.2% (+0.1%) = 696% (+444%).]

[Ability Five: Heavenly Mandate—Luck +1 (+1), when the remaining life span is greater than 10000 years [currently 3480 years (+960 years)], gain 1 extra Luck for every 10000 years of life span, current extra Luck Value bonus is [0].]

"I mentioned before the upgrade that the XXX-Grade Talent is not the limit, and now it indeed seems that it can still advance, at least to the EX Grade.

However, the number of Talents required to advance to the EX Grade has tripled again, from initially 59049 E-Grade Slow Corrosions needed for an upgrade to now a whopping 177147 E-Grade Slow Corrosions required."

Although Zhang Yanhang had anticipated this, seeing the upgrade requirement rise to a six-digit figure inevitably still felt overwhelming. Back then, just a few or dozens of Slow Corrosions were enough for an upgrade.

Now, step by step, it's grown from an initial one-digit or two-digit number to this astonishing six-digit figure, creating a gap tens of thousands of times greater than at the beginning.

"These 177147 E-Grade Slow Corrosions for upgrade demand are undeniably becoming increasingly outrageous.

If I wanted to purely obtain Slow Corrotion from ordinary zombies and use it to upgrade the XXX-Grade Talent, Infinite Life, then based on my current probability of a Drop Treasure Box appearing from killing thirty-eight ordinary zombies, it would take approximately six million seven hundred and thirty thousand zombies to have a chance of obtaining it.

In other words, according to Raccoon City's fixed quantity, I would need to clear over 1100 Raccoon City areas, or clear Raccoon City continuously 1100 times."

So, as previously estimated, the current upgrade demand has indeed completely surpassed Zhang Yanhang's capacity to obtain it.

"Even if we divide this requirement of 177147 E-Grade Slow Corrosions by 27 times to convert into B-Grade Talent Muscle Regenerations, it still requires 6561 Muscle Regenerations, a quantity currently completely beyond my reach."

Zhang Yanhang originally had 2851 B-Grade Talent Muscle Regenerations, but 2187 of them were consumed upgrading the XXX-Grade Talent, Infinite Life, so now, he is left with only 664 Muscle Regenerations in hand.

"In essence, the 664 Muscle Regenerations left in my hand could just cover a tiny bit of the massive requirement of 6561 Muscle Regenerations. After removing this portion, there is still a significant gap of 5897 Muscle Regenerations needed."

Zhang Yanhang estimated that the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field now had at most about 20,000 monsters remaining, so unless those remaining monsters could provide a Drop Treasure Box every 3.5 monsters, it's utterly impossible to meet such an enormous upgrade demand.

This staggering requirement of 6561 Muscle Regenerations reminds Zhang Yanhang of his initial talent experiences, as if he's not using Muscle Regeneration for advancement but still using the initial talent Slow Corrotion for upgrades, evoking the same despair.

"It seems that if this XXX-Grade Talent is to advance further, it certainly has to wait until I find a new related area next time. After all, relying solely on the automatic refresh of Raccoon City and Umbrella Biochemical Test Field could never suffice for such vast upgrade demands."

Calculating based on Zhang Yanhang's current drop rate of one treasure box for every eighteen Third Tier monsters killed, this requirement of 6561 to upgrade Muscle Regeneration roughly requires him to kill 120,000 monsters, 30,000 more than the assigned number at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, which is an increase of one-third.

And this is still at his current Fourth Tier drop rate. If he advances to the Fifth Tier, it's estimated to drop to one treasure box per twenty-eight kills. He'd then need to kill 180,000 Third Tier Tyrants to gather enough, double the total assigned number of monsters at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field.

Therefore, relying on automatic refreshes to gather them all is completely unrealistic. He still needs to wait for the chance to see if he can find new relevant areas to clear out, which might fulfill this massive upgrade requirement.

Moreover, even if he does manage to find a new area, he certainly won't be clearing it anytime soon, as he has already planned to clean up the new areas related to the Scroll Dragon Bloodline for his Fifth Tier.

Besides that, the relatively lagging Rhythm Talent is something Zhang Yanhang also wants to upgrade. Probably only after completing all these and freeing up some time can he continue to upgrade the XXX-level Infinite Life.

"However, considering the current difficulty just in finding new areas, worries about clearing time might not be a major concern."

So, Zhang Yanhang believes he can definitely peacefully execute the plan to upgrade the Scroll Dragon Bloodline in the Fifth Tier, as he's also planning to learn the authentic Time Pause spell.

"This time, after advancing to XXX-level, Ability One Unwearied's attribute value bonus increased a bit compared to before, improving from three Constitution attributes per upgrade to four Constitution attributes per upgrade. Thus, the total Constitution attribute bonus from Infinite Life has increased from the original fifteen points to nineteen points."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that his Constitution attribute was already remarkably overflowing by over ten points. Now, after an additional four Constitution attributes, it would overflow even more extravagantly. Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened his attribute value list for a glance.

[Strength: 100 (+5[-9])]

[Agility: 100 (+5[-6])]

[Constitution: 100 (+5[-18])]

[Intelligence: 100 (+5[-10])]

[Charm: 100 (+27)]

"My original Constitution attribute overflowed by fourteen points, and now, because Ability One Unwearied has increased my Constitution attribute by another four points, it has overflowed by eighteen points. Wow, just two points short of going beyond twenty points, truly absurd."

Zhang Yanhang felt that if he could upgrade Infinite Life again, it might be possible to directly overflow to attribute to about equal to an entire tier's twenty-five Constitution attributes, which would be fantastic—no need to consume free attribute points on Constitution attribute limit post-tier promotion, achieving tier limit instantaneously.

But unfortunately, it's unrealizable, as currently, Infinite Life can no longer be further upgraded.

"Even if five points of Constitution attribute from equipment bonus were removed, I'd still spill over by thirteen points, certainly an overflowing double-digit. Now, post-upgrades, the attribute value bonus from Talent is truly increasing more and more."

Although Zhang Yanhang's Limitless Universe Skill perhaps somewhat increased by a few Zero Stars of Constitution attributes, this time most of the overflow in Constitution still mostly came from Infinite Life.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang estimates that if Infinite Life could still be upgraded, it might only rely on a single Talent to provide a ridiculous twenty-five point attribute value bonus or even more.

After reviewing the attribute value list, Zhang Yanhang continued to focus on the growth of Ability Two Energetic.

"Initially, Ability Two could only contribute a 520% stamina limit increase, but this time it has increased by a whopping 240%, pushing the stamina limit enhancement directly to 760%.

With such significant stamina limit growth, if Zhang Yanhang could originally cast Death Wave about four thousand nine hundred times, now he can cast the Death Wave skill around seven thousand four hundred times, an increase of two thousand five hundred times over the previous count."

"After advancing to Origin Level 6, Death Wave's maximum coverage area reached 6.1 square kilometers. If consecutively cast seven thousand four hundred times, it could already cover an area of 45140 square kilometers. In other words, I can now finally clear the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field in one go using only Death Wave."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that his previous peak coverage record was only 29890 square kilometers, and now the coverage has increased by 15250 square kilometers compared to before.

"If I include Life Drain capability, the area I can cover would multiply by 1.3, reaching 58682 square kilometers."

The area of Qin Island City is only 12,000 square kilometers. So, Zhang Yanhang is now approximately equal to being able to consecutively clear five Qin Island Cities.

As for provinces, although Zhang Yanhang still seems a bit away from cleaning the 66,000-square-kilometer area of Ningxia, he can now clear about 1.7 of Hainan's small province, which is 34,000 square kilometers.

For small countries like South Korea with a land area of only 100,000 square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang could easily clear roughly three-fifths of it in one go. It's safe to say that once Zhang Yanhang advances to the Fifth Tier, he should attain true country-destroying level power, making the annihilation of a country like South Korea as easy as pie.

Of course, actually, Zhang Yanhang could do it now, but Fourth Tier is a bit taxing, requiring Meteorite Fall to destroy a country, whereas Fifth Tier should allow for it even in a normal state.

"Ability Three Longevity again increased the basic lifespan by one hundred sixty years, raising the basic lifespan enhancement from three hundred forty years to five hundred years.

The associated lifespan conversion coefficient also increased by eight years, from twelve years to twenty years. Coupling this with my hundred points of Constitution attribute immediately grant an additional eight hundred years of lifespan. I gained eight hundred years of lifespan when I advanced to Fourth Tier, so this increment this time is roughly equivalent to promoting one more tier."

Combining both, Zhang Yanhang's total lifespan enhancement increased from 1540 years to 2500 years, equivalent to a total gain of 960 years of lifespan.
