Dylan looked at the sky above him with heartfelt emotion. It seems he was becoming more and more monstrous as time went by.
He closed his for a while and began to send messages to his soul fragments one by one. First to Jericho:
"How are you? What's your status right now."
Jericho, who was miles away from Dylan, was startled. He smiled warily and gave his response.
"I'm still a week away."
"Good... Give me an update." Dylan nodded.
Following that, he established his shared sense with Yuan. He had attempted to communicate with Yuan but he was still a child. It was equivalent to his soul fragment having an equivalent to child consciousness. He looked at Yuan's situation and only to see nothing but line 8th grade Awakened guarding him.
Dylan wasn't surprised at the level of importance that Evan had given his child at all. With his Saint Realm now, Dylan could feel that Chris Evan, the noble expert who killed him was in the dark, ensuring Yuan's safety.
He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Ever since he stepped on the Saint Realm, his level stopped improving. The Hobgoblin didn't stop letting his goblins grind and kill humans. Unfortunately, the exp they earned was like a drop in the ocean for Dylan now. It couldn't even fill 0.05% of the exp he needed. He knew that because their level was too low to contribute to his current realm.
He contacted the Hobgoblin for an update. It turns out that the Hobgoblin initiated an ambitious plan and conquered all the forces of goblins in the Green Beast Forest. Even the Hobgoblin Rulers in the forest were now his subordinates.
Dylan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. As expected of himself! Really capable! Now, the entire Green Beast Forest had been unified and was under his control. Dylan couldn't help but feel emotional.
Then he thought of something and transmitted an instruction. "Well, the players had arrived in this world. Kill every one of them and loot their belongings every time they go inside our territory."
In the distant forest, the Hobgoblin stood up from his throne with a surprised expression..then it turned to excitement. "Noted! It seems there's a batch of new targets to rob!"
Seeing such hooligan behavior made Dylan's mouth twitch. He couldn't help but see similarities between him and the Hobgoblin. As expected, they're truly of the same soul... There is no doubt about its authenticity.
"How's the harvest from the past few months? I haven't checked them due to my busy schedule."
The Hobgoblin then gave a report. "We robbed 103 bronze quality equipment and two silvers."
Hearing this, Dylan felt a little disappointed. "Just that?"
The Hobgoblin quivered as he heard this. "What do you mean just that? Of course, Green Beast Forest is just a low-level area. Those with gold-quality things rarely go here. Only those beginners come here, you know." There was a trace of helplessness in his voice.
Dylan nodded as he somewhat understood the Hobgoblin's plight. "Well, I won't take your harvest. Use all the bronze equipment to arm our goblin army. As for silvee equipment? Use them for yourselves..."
Dylan closed the communication from the shared senses. Then focused on his panel. Time to upgrade some innate talents again and increase his strength!
-[Innate Talents]-
Solo Leveling Halo (Gold), Gamer Experience Amplification (Purple), Speedster (Purple), Body of Ancient Mammoth (Purple), Space Holy Physique (Purple), Berserker's Fury (Purple), Titan Bloodline (Blue), Fallen Demon Aura (Blue), Man of Steel (Blue)
Upgrade Points]: 110,515
Dylan looked at the series of innate talents on his panel one by one. 'Everything is good. I wonder what innate panel I should upgrade. It's really difficult to make decisions when you have so many of them...' he couldn't help but feel the dilemma of a rich man at this time. It's really hard...
With so many upgrade points, he felt as if he ascended from poor to local tyrant in just one step.
'Well, I should use the process of elimination to decide what I should upgrade.'
'Let's see... I should prioritize Solo-Leveling Halo. It is my reliance if I want to achieve the peak in this world. Even with mediocre talent, even a pig can transform to emperor with the effect of this innate talent.'
With this consideration, Dylan didn't hesitate any longer.
[You consumed 100,000 points to upgrade an innate talent. Solo-Leveling Halo (Gold) --> Leveling Deity (Black)]
Leveling Deity (Black): This innate talent has the characteristics of transcendence. You are the lord of level-ups. Every two years, you unconditionally gain 300 levels no matter what realm you are in, directly skipping three major realms every two years.
*DING!*
[A mutation occurred in this talent. It was detected. It was detected that your souls are splittable.]
Leveling Deity (Black): This innate talent has the characteristics of transcendence and is above even the time river. You are the lord of level-ups, the one and only. Every two years, you unconditionally gain 300 levels no matter what realm you are in, directly skipping three major realms every two years.
Mutated Effect: Your sub-bodies gain 100 levels every two years.
[Upgrade Points]: 10,515
After Dylan finished the description, his body froze and his expression was something one couldn't paint.
DAMN IT! TOO OVERPOWERED!
Dylan took a sharp breath. Skip three major realms every two years? Doesn't that mean after two years, he would directly bypass Beyonder and Ancestor Realm and directly step into the Supreme Realm!??
Supreme Realm, supreme experts, they're at the ranks of eight princes of hell, those strong ones even in the category of Demon Lord in the Abyss. They could destroy multiple kingdoms and countries with a sweep of their hands. A mere Zhao Kingdom was like a mosquito in their eyes.
Not to mention, mutated effect? This talent seems to have been affected by the existence of his Split Soul (Black) skill.
From now on, his sub-bodies like Jericho, Hobgoblin, Yuan, etc... would benefit from this innate talent, skipping one major realm every two years. It's like his sub-bodies had the previous Solo-Leveling Halo!
With these, he didn't need to worry that they would become mere decorations and dead-weight in the future. At least, he won't directly leave them to dust.
The 100,000 upgrade points were super worth it!
