The space has doubled!

This meant Su Chen could carry more strategic supplies on his upcoming expedition, no longer constrained by weight limits.

CLINK CLINK…

A series of crystalline clinks echoed as his consciousness scanned the area, discovering numerous Soul Cores, each glowing with the color of a different attribute.

A closer look revealed he had a complete set of ten: Soul Cores for Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Dark.

Amidst the heap of special reward materials were also numerous metallic resources.

‘Starfall Mithril Ingot’.

Unlike traditional Mithril, its surface shimmered like liquid metal and was flecked with a starlight pattern, possessing superior magical conductivity and strength.

As a top-tier material required for gold and purple-grade Mechanical Armor components, it could amplify the attached and circulating Elemental Power by over 150%.

In addition, a type of Skyfall Finegold material was also included, which could be considered the “Pro Max” version of Earth’s gold.

“Not bad. I’ll feed it all to Xiao Shisan.”

Su Chen thought to himself with a sigh.

‘The rewards are a perfect fit for me. Nothing’s going to waste.’

Of course, this batch of material rewards was nowhere near as valuable as the Soul Sublimation reward.

That was to be expected.

The Ancient Status Shards seemed to have drawn down a wisp of the Magic Goddess’s will.

The reward system had become extremely personalized now; at least it wasn’t just dumping a random pile of loot on him.

“It’s time for a complete qualitative transformation.”

Su Chen used the newly acquired Soul Cores to fill in the gaps for his upgrades.

His Vortex Skill, Thunderblast, Sharpness, and Holy Radiance Runes successfully reached Lv. 8.

As for his other Elemental Runes… Ice Bird, Water Mirror Refraction, and Destruction had already broken past Lv. 7 long ago.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t received any Great Soul Crystals.

Not long after.

A world-shaking phenomenon occurred in Dongfu City.

Thanks to the frenzied killing by the populace and Su Chen’s massive sacrifices, the will of the world seemed to have finally cast its gaze upon this quiet corner of the world.

The crystal prism tower, as if under the gaze of a god, began to blast out brilliant, dazzling light, steadily pushing back the Elemental Suppression that had enveloped the city.

“The suppression is being pushed back! The area… my god, it’s almost cleared 50% of Dongfu City’s territory!”

The good news they had been hoping for arrived: in half of the city’s area, the elemental concentration instantly returned to its peak state.

This sight was enough to make the Spellcasters weep with joy.

At least the will of the world hadn’t abandoned them.

But what truly sent the entire city into a frenzy was the second new-stock notification from the Rune Store in a single day.

This time, a brand-new category of potions had appeared on the shelves.

‘Bloodline Potions’!

“Holy shit, the grand prize is here.”

Everyone had discovered the grand prize in their item lists, and a clamor even more fervent than before erupted.

“I’m giving up my humanity.”

“The will of the world is forcing us to give up our humanity!”

“The flesh is weak! The path of mechanical ascension is a dead end, and now the ‘officials’ are selling Alien Race bloodlines directly!”

Although the despairingly high price and the strict requirement of being in the top 500 barred 99.9% of the population, for the top-tier experts who were keenly aware of the fragility of a Mage’s body, it was an almost irresistible and deadly temptation.

At that moment.

The Golden Radiance Ruler, Shang Xu, gritted his teeth, a storm of complicated emotions raging in his heart.

Compared to the Rock Phase Ruler, Feng Jialun, his ‘Magneto’ body truly lacked the limitless growth potential of flesh. His own physical form was arguably the frailest of the three powerhouses.

What was even more ridiculous…

…was that some people had just witnessed Su Chen display an absolutely terrifying level of physical strength, cutting down troglodytes as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.

“Should I give up my humanity?”

Feng Jialun’s thoughts were a tangled mess. With his youthful temperament, he was growing impatient.

“Maybe you should wait a bit longer.”

The older man tasked with supervising him gave a timely reminder, “Don’t forget the cautionary tale of the first people who changed their class. They suffered a huge, silent loss and are still paying for it now.”

“Besides, this Vampire Bloodline Potion is only the Baron version. I think it’s worth waiting to see what else comes along.”

“You’re right.”

Feng Jialun pondered for a moment before obediently nodding his head.

The dazzling light from the crystal prism tower was growing stronger. As long as he stayed within the safe zone and benefited from the home-field advantage granted by the Steel City, he was like a fish in water, able to unleash his full firepower with ease.

“The will of the world is forcing us to evolve to fight the fleshly abominations of the last era. I can’t wait. I’m buying it now and we’ll see what happens…”

Of course, some of those ranked in the 200s didn’t have the luxury of thinking about the distant future.

Good steel must be used on the blade’s edge.

They didn’t even know if they would live to see tomorrow. The future was too far away; they had to seize and absorb any enhancement they could get their hands on.
