Looking at the scroll in his hand, which appeared quite ordinary, Wang Zhifan proceeded to use it, and the scroll of exceptional quality turned into ashes in the air, disappearing without a trace.
Then he opened his player panel to confirm that he had acquired the skill "Shared Fate Link."

"Unknowingly, I've already reached level 11, and judging by the experience bar, I'll definitely level up to 12 after the next dungeon. It feels like the further I progress, the faster I level up, contrary to what the forums say."
After carefully examining his latest panel, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but express this sentiment. He remembered clearly that forums said the leveling speed slows down as players progress since higher levels require more experience, which can't be gained in just a dungeon or two. However, his personal experience was entirely different. It might be related to his continuous challenge of higher-level dungeons, often several levels above his own.
"The 'Shared Fate Link' on my panel is at Lv2, thanks to the Evil Spirit's Inspiration necklace boosting it by an additional level. I must admit, this equipment, although only of rare quality, has been quite helpful to me."
Focusing his gaze on the skills section, Wang Zhifan confirmed that he had gained the divine skill "Shared Fate Link," and it was not at the Lv1 state of the skill scroll but at Lv2. He noticed that, while it hadn't undergone any qualitative change, the maximum number of linkable targets increased to 10, and the casting range increased by 30 meters. It was a numerical improvement, which was progress nonetheless.
"If I were to test this skill, it seems like I could use monsters for it. Unfortunately, my previous monsters have all been cleared out. Guess I'll have to wait for another opportunity."
Given his understanding of the transcendent game, Wang Zhifan knew that since the skill appeared on his panel, it must be genuine and not a facade. Thus, he wasn't in a hurry to test it, considering it merely useful but not critical for him.
After reviewing his latest panel, he proceeded to close it with a thought, planning to leave his bedroom and return to a leisurely day-to-day life. After all, it was still early, and the real world was still in the morning.
However, suddenly, vague voices started echoing in his mind, leaving him speechless.
"Oh, Heavenly Lord... I beg you, please bless my wife with a chubby son..."
"Heavenly Lord... I, Liu Er, swear never to gamble again... If I do, I'll be a puppy..."
"Heavenly Lord above... I beg you to give me a beautiful wife... She must be prettier than Mr. Huang's concubine..."
"Oh, Heavenly Lord... I've led a half-life without wrongdoing... So why am I still penniless... If this continues, the Han Family will die out... Please bless me to earn a hundred taels of silver this year..."
...
Each prayer floated from afar, appearing slightly hazy in Wang Zhifan's mind, causing his face to gradually darken.
"What's all this nonsense? Do they take me as a wish-granting machine? Can I help with having kids and getting married? I've not even solved that for myself!"
Clearly, the prayers Wang Zhifan heard were transmitted to him by the faceless statue in the Wuji Sect World, but he was dismayed by the content, to the point of having to comment.
"But why are so many people suddenly praying to me? I only have that one useless village girl as a believer in that world, right?"
Wang Zhifan began pondering this peculiar situation. Logically, he shouldn't have a second believer in the Wuji Sect World at the moment. His previous visit to save that village girl confirmed she wasn't capable of expanding her believer count. Yet the current situation seems to overthrow this impression. He could determine that these prayers were linked to that village girl because her belief connection still existed and shared the same source as these prayers.
"Could it be that after a great failure, that woman finally wised up and found a more effective way to spread belief? But... the people she's attracting don't seem like they'd make quality believers."
Upon consideration, Wang Zhifan felt a bit conflicted. On one hand, he had a rather negative view of her, planning to abandon her completely. But her accomplishments now piqued his curiosity, though only to a limited extent.
