The Little Mad King following behind him saw this and started helping him move things too.

Unfortunately, there was still a corpse of a World-Annihilating Dragon in Li Yelai's reserve space, so there really wasn't any room left for the Miracle.

"As for the Miracle, we'll have to wait until we win, then try throwing it out." Monarch Token said. "Once it's taken out of the Safe Zone, it'll be reset."

Monarch Token continued, "You're about to ascend to Overlord. Have you prepared the Magic Potion?"

Li Yelai didn't hide anything and took out that "Mimic Phenomenon·Tribulation and Fate", explaining his advancement plan to Monarch Token.

"A composite-type Phenomenon?" Monarch Token pondered for a moment, then slightly shook his head. "Because the Void Realm of this world is locked, we lack in-depth research on the Magic Potion system above the Seventh Awakening. But… if we win this battle, I might be able to help you complete this Magic Potion and aid your further sublimation."

"Then we win." Li Yelai replied without hesitation, the Champion Cloak behind him billowing without wind, snapping in the air. "For Humans!"

"That's right, we win!" Monarch Token smiled, and under that bandage-covered face, it was as if a trace of relieved expectation seeped out. The opportunity awaited for tens of millions of cycles had finally arrived, so—fight!

Li Yelai turned to look at the Little Mad King at his side, lowering his voice. "I'll be back very soon..."

The Little Mad King quietly stared at him for a few seconds. In those gradually clearing eyes, a fleeting, hard-to-catch emotion flashed by. In the end, she slightly nodded and released her hand that had been tightly gripping the corner of his clothes.

(Hold on a bit, stuck on the wording, keeping my full-attendance streak.)

A vast torrent of energy poured in like an inverted Star River, flooding into Li Yelai's body and finally converging above his Soul Well.

Part of the light flow quietly shattered before touching his body, turning into purer energy that merged into the other radiance.

In the end, it transformed into five simple, ancient lines that surfaced around Li Yelai's Virtual Realm Projection.

Those were Blessings, and as the knowledge of Blessings surged in, Li Yelai clearly felt the transformation of his own strength.

[Protection·Fallen Meteoric Fire] Area attack damage radius expanded by 30%, all ranged attacks gain splash effect.

Now that's a good Blessing.

Li Yelai had multiple area-attack methods: Blood Prison Demon Suppression, Ye Yun, and even Space Shock and Annihilation Thunder could all be covered by this Blessing.

What was even more shocking was that even Spiritual Attack-type Divine Hidden Weapons gained the splash trait. This meant that any random arrow he loosed could trigger a wide-area Spiritual Shock or explosion.

This boost effect was downright terrifying.

[Protection·Giant Killer] When fighting giant units, damage can be increased by up to 50%.

This Blessing was hard to take effect against humanoid creatures, but when facing Ancient Dragons, Titans, or Extraordinary Giant Beasts, it would be quite a boost. If combined with the "Protection·Dragon Slayer" that comes with Kunpeng Mimic, his damage bonus against Dragon Clan units would reach 100%. By then, no matter how powerful the Ancient Dragon was before him, it'd be beaten down into a mere crawling insect!

[Protection·Wounded Battle] The more severe the injuries, the higher the all-attribute increase.

For other Spiritual Ability Users, this might be a chicken-rib Blessing. But for an Eternal Chosen One with insanely strong recovery, it was way too useful. Even if I'm beaten down to bare bones, I still have to slap you first. He could even rely on the Eternal Chosen One's High-speed Regeneration to maintain his body in a severely wounded state, achieving sustained near-death bursts!

Of course, injuries that are too severe might affect his output; that'd have to be calculated carefully.

[Protection·Boundary Breaker] Damage against buildings, Barriers, and shield-type targets increased by 30%.

Space itself was also a special kind of barrier. This meant his Space Shock would step up another level. Combined with Weakness Perception, one stomp that triggered localized Earthquakes would become the norm. House-breaking and formation-smashing, unstoppable.

And the last Blessing, Li Yelai couldn't be more familiar with.

[Consumptive Protection·Nirvana Fire] Triggers when near death, restores all physical injuries and removes the vast majority of negative states.

That anthropomorphic thing Ye Han who once fought him had survived the fall from the Immortal Palace wreckage thanks to this Blessing, with all injuries fully repaired.

Then, he got slaughtered by Li Yelai...

Now it was Li Yelai's turn to hold this trump card that could reverse life and death.

Though there was only one use, it was precious enough.

"Only five? The rest all failed… I should've stored more resources, or maybe I shouldn't have used up everything back then." Monarch Token was a bit regretful. Tens of millions of cycles of accumulation were naturally quite a lot, but he had never thought he'd still have helpers, so he didn't store much.

"There are still some top-tier Blessings and blessings, effects second only to the blessings of the Evil God. But unfortunately, there aren't enough resources; I can't apply them to you."

"If Xia Ming were here personally, the success rate might be higher… We once had a plan to stack countless Blessings to kill the core. If everyone had hundreds or thousands of Blessings on them, then even with tiers locked, their combat power would still be high. But after it failed, we didn't keep digging into it."

Li Yelai thought to himself, with his kind of luck, the fact you managed to get me five Blessings is already defying the heavens.

If it were the Lucky Wheel, it'd be "kind-hearted" if it didn't spin out a few Catastrophes on me.

"It's fine, this is enough. These Blessings have clearly boosted my overall strength." Li Yelai clenched his fists; this was true Opportunity.

Then Monarch Token pointed at the books nearby. "You can take the research materials here away. Whether we succeed or not, you can carry the materials back. They should provide you all with considerable help. Even though we're tier-locked, our research still has merits."

"No need for that kind of trade; whether you pay me or not, I'll help you, provided my partner's safety is guaranteed. In her current state, she can't fight alongside us." Li Yelai kept feeling Monarch Token sounded like he was entrusting someone to him. "Will my partner be safe if she stays here?"

In her current state, of course he couldn't drag the Little Mad King along on a death charge. Leaving her here might actually be the safest choice—as long as the Safe House itself was safe.

"Verified across tens of millions of cycles. But once she and you are separated, you better coax her properly." Monarch Token said, "If a losing situation or other risks appear, I'll forcibly detach you and her from this world. Like I said, the Simulation Core is just dying for you to leave."

"As for all this… take whatever you can; it's no use if I keep it. If we lose, at least you can treat it as something to remember us by. Of course, if possible, please help us raise a monument after you get out." Monarch Token said, and took out a thick book. "These are all my compatriots. At the very least, let the world know they once existed, and once fought for Humans."

Monarch Token's tone was rather free and easy, utterly lacking the grimness of someone going to fight the Simulation Core to the death. It was as if he was heading off to a banquet he still looked forward to.

Li Yelai silently nodded and solemnly accepted the book that recorded a large number of names. Then he put the huge amount of materials here into his reserve space.

These were all the research from Monarch Token and his people across countless cycles, countless attempts at resisting despair, containing a huge amount of technology. The Giant City was in great need of technology like this.

The Little Mad King following behind him saw this and started helping him move things too.

Unfortunately, there was still a corpse of a World-Annihilating Dragon in Li Yelai's reserve space, so there really wasn't any room left for the Miracle.

"As for the Miracle, we'll have to wait until we win, then try throwing it out." Monarch Token said. "Once it's taken out of the Safe Zone, it'll be reset."
