"Detected that serial number 11273 has a special rating increase item. Do you wish to use it?"
As Fang Li returned to the Main God's Dimension, the system's message echoed in his mind. With a faint smile, he took out the evaluation stone and decided to use it.
"Serial number 11273 has used a special item and received a random increase in clearance rating."
"The increase is... significant."
"Rating increased significantly, breaking the limit and reaching EX rank."
"Final clearance rating: EX Rank."
"Rewards gained: 50,000 Exchange Points, 30 free Attribute Points, 5 free Skill Points."
Skill Points?
What a pleasant surprise.
Before Fang Li's expression could match his inner thoughts, the system's notification sounded again.
"Serial number 11273 has reached the EX rank Clearance Evaluation. Do you want to set 'Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World' as your personal world?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Li didn't hesitate and directly selected "Yes".
"Serial number 11273 has set 'Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World' as his personal world. During rest periods in the Main God's Dimension, you can enter this world with a certain amount of Exchange Points at a time ratio of 1:10. Other Divine Envoys will not be able to enter this Personal World".
"The current Personal Worlds are 'Hidan No Aria (Aria the Scarlet Ammo),' 'Gakusen Toshi Asterisk,' 'Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World.'"
With the system notifications finished, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes and surveyed the familiar scenery of his personal dwelling while silently counting the gains from this Dungeon World adventure.
First, Exchange Points.
Completing two side quests earned Fang Li 50,000 Exchange Points.
Combined with the 50,000 Exchange Points from the Clearance Evaluation, Fang Li's total Exchange Points this time reached 100,000, bringing his total to 250,000.
250,000 Exchange Points. What a haul.
"Even for a Third-Rank Main Divine Envoy, even the wealthiest among them would only have this much wealth, right?"
"As for Second-Rank Divine Envoys, if they're a little less fortunate, this number is almost equal to their entire wealth."
"For Fang Li, a Fourth-Rank Divine Envoy, to have wealth comparable to a Second-Rank Divine Envoy is nothing short of a miracle, even if it is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to astonish any Divine Envoy."
In addition, Fang Li also gained 30 Attribute Points and 5 Skill Points.
The former could further enhance Fang Li's strength and bring him closer to the Third Rank, while the latter, though currently unusable, would undoubtedly facilitate Fang Li's transformation once he ascended to the Third Rank.
In addition, Fang Li also acquired the title of 'Guardian Knight'.
Considering the gains from the personal world, this journey through the dungeon world was truly worthwhile.
However, the greatest gain was Fang Li's fundamental purpose for this journey.
That was to observe the insights of those who often faced death.
Natsuki Subaru and Petelgeuse.
These two individuals gave Fang Li insight into his own path.
With these thoughts in his mind, Fang Li turned around and entered his personal residence, going to his room where he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
He imagined his consciousness penetrating deep into his body, freeing it from the confines of his mind.
In this way, after some time, Fang Li gradually fell asleep.
...
When Fang Li opened his eyes again, he found himself facing the familiar expanse of the sea. It was boundless and calm, the ocean stretched out in front of him, without a ripple, shrouded in darkness.
Soon, a somewhat indifferent voice echoed within the space that contained the sea.
"It seems you've almost gotten used to entering the depths of your own soul."
Accompanying this voice, ripples formed on the surface of the sea ahead, stirred by the slow approach of a figure.
Fang Li raised his head and looked at the approaching Ryougi Shiki.
She was dressed in a kimono with a red cloak draped over it with a dagger hanging from her waist.
She had shoulder-length hair and a cold demeanor.
All of these characteristics were completely consistent with Fang Li's impression of Ryougi Shiki.
Looking at Ryougi Shiki, Fang Li smiled and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you're really 'Ryougi Shiki'.
After all, the resemblance was uncanny.
"It was your memories of 'Ryougi Shiki' that made me who I am now," Ryougi Shiki replied with a somewhat impatient tone. "If we're going to nitpick, it's your essence that bears the striking resemblance to that of 'Ryougi Shiki,' the young girl. The reason lies in you, not in me."
With these words, Ryougi Shiki once again locked eyes with Fang Li and said, "Or perhaps you have the leisure now to worry about such trivial matters?
Ryougi Shiki raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction.
"Things have already changed here."
Upon hearing this, Fang Li followed Ryougi Shiki's gesture and looked in the direction she indicated.
What met Fang Li's gaze was a terrifying scene.
"Crack..."
Amidst the sound of fragmentation, remnants of space fell like shards and sank into the sea of death.
As far as Fang Li could see, at one end of the horizon of this space, it had already begun to tear apart.
The cracks were so numerous that they resembled a spider's web.
