Chapter 730: Hyperdimensional Ouroboros, A Civilizational Event—Proof of Civilization

The message on the virtual light screen made Yu Yuan feel somewhat reassured.

"Zhi zhi-"

Zhi Zhi, with his gas tank-like body, looked a bit embarrassed.

Yu Yuan helplessly shook his head.

"Don't worry. You've just unlocked a special growth path, it's related to the Snake of Rebirth's hidden nature you absorbed earlier."

Comforted by Yu Yuan, Zhi Zhi happily chirped a couple more times.

Truth be told, Yu Yuan himself wasn't entirely sure about Zhi Zhi's transformation.

He did have his concerns. The reason he wasn't particularly anxious was that Zhi Zhi's essence belonged to the Rare Treasure category, a product transformed through Fate Cards.

Having gone through the experiences with Mie Mie and Mona, Yu Yuan believed that even if Zhi Zhi encountered some uncontrollable variables during his evolution, he would still have a final thread of hope to salvage things.

The only thing to consider was that Zhi Zhi was already a Silver-tier creature, and through continuous growth, his Life Level was now infinitely approaching the Gold tier.

If a Fate Card were truly triggered, Yu Yuan would have to face a Gold-tier Fate Card.

Thinking about this.

The excitement and thrill Yu Yuan had felt moments ago gradually returned to calm.

"Speed up my power enhancement again!"

After settling Zhi Zhi's matter, Yu Yuan reviewed this round's gains.

He still had some questions lingering in his mind that needed answers.

He first checked the two achievements he had obtained.

Achievement: Superdimensional Hunter

Acquisition Conditions: Participated in killing a Superdimensional-level lifeform while surpassing levels, with a contribution share of >10%

Reward: When facing Superdimensional-level lifeforms, immune to the target's Life and Energy Level suppression effects.

(Note: You have successfully proven yourself. There is no need to fear Superdimensional beings any longer.)

--------------

Achievement: An Incredible Victory

Acquisition Conditions: Participated in killing a lifeform above the Superdimensional level while crossing two major tiers, with a contribution share of ≥10%

Reward: Gain a 20% true attack bonus against enemies above your current Life Level. After killing the target, unlock the Plunder permission.

(Note: Take it. This is a reward for the brave, and also a praise for the ambitious.)

--------------

Yu Yuan's brows furrowed.

"Participating in the kill of the Snake of Rebirth isn't surprising, but... a contribution share of no less than 10%? How is that possible?"

Yu Yuan knew very well what he had done. He had merely swooped in to grab an advantage when the Snake of Rebirth was on the verge of death.

At best, it could only be considered scavenging a corpse.

It didn't even count as a finishing blow.

That shouldn't be the case!

However, the result was an unexpected bonus for him, so Yu Yuan simply noted the matter for the time being.

He then checked the [Civilization Event - Proof of Civilization].

Civilization Event - Proof of Civilization

Quality: Superdimensional

Danger Level: Extremely High

Introduction: This is a trial for the strong on the Civilization Ladder, a graveyard for the weak. Only those who truly possess ambition, caution, decisiveness, courage, and insight can ascend to the pinnacle of the Civilization Ladder.

Requirements:

1. Before advancing to the Superdimensional level, accumulate participation in killing no fewer than 3 Superdimensional-level lifeforms, with a contribution share of no less than 10%. Exceeding 3 kills grants additional weight bonus. (Current kill count: 1/3)
2. Before advancing to the Superdimensional level, accumulate dismantling (occupying, killing, destroying) of no fewer than 3 Gold-tier faction organizations, with a contribution share of no less than 30%. Exceeding 3 dismantlements grants additional weight bonus. (Current dismantlement count: 1/3)
3. Before advancing to Gold Rank, complete requirements 1 and 2 to receive a substantial weight bonus.

Rewards: 1. Unlock Civilization Ladder Weight. 2. Unlock Superdimensional Special Evolution Sequence.

--------------

"Civilization Ladder Weight? Superdimensional Special Evolution Sequence?"

Yu Yuan was truly tempted, but as he looked at the three requirements above, he let out a long sigh.

He didn't need to overthink it. He still hadn't figured out how he had participated in killing the Snake of Rebirth, and now he was being asked to take down two more Superdimensional-level lifeforms.

That was simply a joke.

He was just a player who had recently advanced to Silver-tier!

Fortunately, he had previously managed to plunder all of the Snake of Rebirth's faith legacy.

Whether it was the kill quota or the Gold-tier faction/faith dismantlement quota, they all counted toward the total.

It wasn't as if he had completely lost all hope.

Finally, he turned his gaze to his exclusive talent [Soul Theft], his eyes thoughtful.

If there was truly any hope of completing this Civilization Event, perhaps it lay solely with this talent.

This special talent, born from the [Soul-Stealing Monster's Tentacle], was far more powerful than he had ever imagined.

"I wonder what level of creature the true Soul-Stealing Monster is. It shouldn't be lower than Superdimensional level, right?"

Yu Yuan thought to himself.

The 'Soul Nest' appeared before his eyes.

All three slots within it were completely full.

Each and every one carried the [Superdimensional] prefix, a sight that left even Yu Yuan feeling somewhat incredulous.

He hadn't expected to gather three Superdimensional-quality talents/psychic abilities this quickly.

Yu Yuan examined the Snake of Rebirth's two talents/psychic abilities.

The question hidden in his heart, why his contribution share in killing the Snake of Rebirth exceeded 10%, finally had its answer.

It was all because of that psychic ability he had stolen: [Superdimensional - Ouroboros].

Superdimensional - Ouroboros

Quality: Superdimensional

Type: Psychic Ability

Introduction: This is a serpent where 'Beginning' and 'End' are forcibly sealed together, forming a self-consistent, infinitely iterative closed loop.

Traits:

1. No external charging required. Self-circulation produces infinite yet quantized psychic energy. It will never deplete, but it cannot exceed its limit either.
2. After each 'death', slumber begins, activating 'Ouroboros' mode. Upon 'rebirth,' gain a 10% increase in psychic energy.
3. Can perfectly control one's own aura and psychic energy, concealing one's whereabouts.

Functions:

1. When suffering fatal damage, can consume all psychic energy to 'restart' at full state to the moment combat began. This can only be used once per 'rebirth'.
2. Death is not true death, but the beginning of a new life. Upon death, 'Ouroboros' automatically triggers. Residual consciousness will automatically attach itself to the most promising serpent lifeform in the current world, entering 'Ouroboros' mode to obtain a new life.

--------------

Clearly, this was the Snake of Rebirth's true trump card. It simply did not fear death.

Death was merely a new beginning.

With the [Superdimensional - Ouroboros] psychic ability, even if it were killed, the Snake of Rebirth could be revived once more.

This was perhaps the true meaning behind the 'Rebirth' in its name.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment before the Snake of Rebirth's death, it encountered Yu Yuan, who had been lying in wait.

After being besieged by the Blood Duke and Mechanist Supremacy, the dying Snake of Rebirth had its life-saving [Superdimensional - Ouroboros] stolen by Yu Yuan.

And during the period when the psychic ability was being stolen, the Snake of Rebirth temporarily lost and forgot this ability.

"So that's the real reason my participation kill contribution exceeded 10%."

Yu Yuan was suddenly completely enlightened.

"So that's how it is!"
