Monsters Are Coming

Dark Race Warriors face growth bottlenecks.

For example, reaching Level 100 in a previous life and then being unable to break through, requiring self-dismantling reincarnation and using stored war merit to elevate life's growth limit in the next life.

After restarting, the next life might reach Level 105 or Level 110, before encountering another bottleneck.

This requires reincarnating again.

In essence, the Dark Race isn't inherently strong; they rely on holding onto reincarnation rules for growth through rule enhancements, ultimately becoming a cross-world plundering force.

Tong Xin is currently facing a shortage of Dark Race Energy.

Qi Blood Energy is manageable, allowing Dark Race Warriors to grow quickly through hunting.

Though troublesome, hunting doesn't cost money.

Dark Race Warriors aren't picky about Qi Blood Energy, sending all impurities from the blood into their bodies to become part of their own strength.

As players have pure bodies, the energy gained from hunting is purified before absorption. Follow current novels on novelFɪre.net

This was analyzed and explained by players in the forum.

The current issue is how to acquire Dark Race Energy; he can't buy large quantities of spiritual materials from the Trading House for each Dark Race Warrior resurrection.

More importantly, he must master the production method of Dark Race Energy.

It's truly troublesome.

Without doing so, the stocked Dark Race Energy will eventually be depleted.

Combat during external exploration is too frequent.

Even without actively participating in high-intensity wars, exploring may lead to encounters with monsters over Level 100, causing a group wipe.

Thus acquiring Dark Race Energy is a top priority.

"Hey, if only they could resurrect without loss like us players."

While sighing, Tong Xin suddenly turns to look at the Guiding Water Ball floating beside him.

He almost forgot that Guidance was his on-hand hack.

Perhaps it has a way to solve this problem.

"Brother Guide."

[Let it be.] Guidance opens its eyes, dispirited.

"Do you have a quick way to produce Dark Race Energy, preferably cheap, too expensive won't do, or a method for Dark Race Warriors to resurrect without consuming.... Ideally, preserving Qi Blood Strength, a truly lossless resurrection; dying at one hunting level and being resurrected at the same. Saves the bother of leveling again, allowing the Dark Race Army to truly have combat power. Otherwise, retraining each time is too troublesome."

Having listened to Tong Xin's explanation, Guidance responds helplessly:

[Didn't I tell you last time? Power of Faith produced by Divine Soul can replace Dark Race Energy, just infuse it directly into the reincarnation rules, fully usable for resurrecting Dark Race Warriors.]

"But this method is also expensive, the warfare mortality rate of Dark Race Warriors is too high, my faith relationship with them is only in the initial stage, and the produced Power of Faith is far from sufficient... Initially thought about earning sacrificial power from Dark Race Warriors, now even pouring all Divine status-produced Power of Faith isn't enough, still need to subsidize with sacrificial power."

Guidance hears this and nods in understanding:

[Analyzed your situation, 500 Dark Race Warriors are at your initial faith stage, daily produced Power of Faith is enough to resurrect only 8 warriors; assuming they die once every 10 days, you can support at most 80 warriors. Yet you recruited 500 Dark Race Warriors at once, of course, it's not enough. Dark Race Warrior growth is too fast, but their faith devotion hasn't kept up.]

"Is there a way to solve this problem?" Tong Xin asks expectantly.

[Naturally, there is. You might learn from the Suffering Brothers and create Special Life Souls from An Xing's portion of reincarnation rules. By embedding them, Dark Race Warriors bound to the reincarnation rules will also be bound to you. In the future, they can be resurrected using sacrificial power or Power of Faith.]

[And each warrior's Qi Blood after death will be refined and retain approximately 50%. After resurrecting, you can use the residual Qi Blood to elevate their hunting level, assisting them in rapid growth.]

"Really possible!" The director is instantly excited.

But he quickly asks curiously:

"Brother Guide, why can only a little over 50% of the Qi Blood be preserved, why not all?"

[Player System does not accept impurities and waste, the Qi Blood Energy absorbed by Dark Race Warriors is only simple conversion, containing too many impurities, which when extracted by the player system will be filtered and decomposed partially, being able to preserve over 50% is already very good... In fact, this is only beneficial for Dark Race Warriors, not harmful, as purer Qi Blood enables them to possess higher limits, although in ongoing growth they will still consume much waste.]

"Indeed nice, but it'd be better if they could resurrect without loss like us players."

[Dark Race Warriors aren't fit to enter the Player System, even growth pets are far superior to them.]

Director: ...

Actually, Guidance hasn't mentioned another reason.

Dark Race Warriors are already bound to the reincarnation rules, wanting them to interface with the Challenger System like players means completely reconstructing their life form.

Starting only from Level 1, abandoning all previously possessed traits.

But the initial life potential of Dark Race Warriors is low; recruiting 500 of them is less effective than recruiting 500 new Earth players.

More importantly, each Dark Race Warrior, through countless reincarnations in accordance with the rules, has accumulated quite a few skills, talents, and attribute potentials.

Direct reconstruction means wasting early accumulated rule energy.

Guidance's idea is simple; the system can continue existing but only as a Life Soul.

Unable to enter the Player System like how Reverse Tide Army bestowed the "War" rules to the Liver Emperor Group, forming an independent system within the Challenger Framework.

Can only remain as a dependent system within the Challenger Framework.

Guided by the explanation, the enlightened Tong Xin asks expectantly:

"Brother Guide, so how can the incomplete reincarnation rules be made into a Life Soul?"

[With your ability, you certainly can't produce it, I can help in this area, but the cost is on you.]

Hearing Guidance offer help, Tong Xin feels overjoyed.

"Brother Guide, how much sacrificial power is needed to produce it?"

[Not much, just 1.2 million sacrificial power.]

Hearing the price, Tong Xin's eyes widen, suspecting he misheard:

"1.2 million?!"

"Brother Guide, is there an extra zero?"

Guidance doesn't answer, giving Tong Xin a look as if he is an idiot.

"Didn't I hear from the Suffering Brothers that imprinting that Suffering Soul cost only 300,000 sacrificial power?"

[The Suffering Soul isn't a Rule Mark by nature, merely a pseudo-rule, and what you have is already structured rules, requiring 1.2 million because this is only a part of the reincarnation rules, guess the price of the complete reincarnation rules yourself?]

"How much?"

[Before An Xing died, the reincarnation rules were split into 100 parts, with each Dark Race Commander receiving a part, what you have is one of those parts, calculate yourself the complete cost.]

After calculating the cost mentally, Tong Xin takes a deep breath.

Seeing it this way, 1.2 million sacrificial power isn't actually expensive.

But he's curious about whether there will be functional deficiencies after making a Life Soul from incomplete death rules.
