Beyond legendary…
What kind of quality could it be?
Lucian found himself lost in thought, eager to know the answer.
He reasoned that such information was likely concealed rather than absent altogether.
In this vast era of endless possibilities, where worlds rose and fell amidst the infinite void, how could there not be something beyond?
If the existence of such a quality hadn't been disclosed, there must be a reason.
Perhaps a terrible calamity or crisis was linked to this knowledge, leading to its suppression.
Alternatively, it could be a boundary—only those who reached a certain level of understanding might grasp its truths. To know prematurely might bring disaster.
Of course, these were just Lucian's theories.
Having read countless novels in his previous life, he was no stranger to speculative ideas. While he wouldn't dare take action without certainty, he was more than qualified to play the role of an armchair expert.
"Either way, if the opportunity arises, I'll need to investigate. But I shouldn't recklessly gamble for it," Lucian muttered, settling on a cautious approach.
Nearby, Lin Daiyu felt the newfound strength coursing through her, leaving her momentarily speechless.
All of this had been given to her by Lucian.
To have such a master…
She couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Her delicate eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lucian, who was lost in deep contemplation. A faint smile graced her lips.
Yes, truly fortunate…
"Wait, what? Her stats broke the system!"
Lucian exclaimed suddenly, his expression twisting into disbelief.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Daiyu's transformation was nothing short of extraordinary.
At level 1, her base stats were 20, with an attribute growth of 5 per level.
But now, recalculating her numbers…
Her level 1 base stats equated to 60, with an attribute growth of 10 per level!
"This is just insane," Lucian whispered.
Beyond raw attributes, her innate talents and bloodline had also evolved.
"If another Three-Headed Buddha appeared now, she'd probably knock its head clean off," Lucian muttered, laughing at the absurdity.
On one hand, he was thrilled to have such a powerhouse in his domain. The pressures of the Trial for New Lords suddenly felt much lighter.
On the other hand, how would he ever surpass her?
"It's like giving a newborn a hundred years of training all at once," Lucian mused, marveling at her 1,000+ Constitution—a value that included stamina and resilience.
"When this trial ends, I need to awaken my own ruling powers immediately. I want to punch mountains into rubble too!"
The thought of such strength ignited a burning excitement within him.
Meanwhile, Lin Daiyu quietly observed Lucian, amused by his shifting expressions.
Her heart stirred. Compared to the deceitful and shallow individuals of her past life, Lucian felt trustworthy—someone she could follow without hesitation.
For now, she chose to let him revel in his thoughts, savoring the tranquil moment.
Nightfall.
7:30 PM.
The murky expanse of the Void finally erupted into chaos.
Through the dense fog, pale skeletons emerged, surging from all directions toward the wooden walls of Lucian's domain.
Lucian, who had been awaiting their arrival, quickly donned the Lens True Sight and activated Appraisal.

"This must be the big boss," Lucian muttered, his pupils contracting.
This was the true Day Eleven Monster Horde. The earlier waves of skeleton soldiers had been mere appetizers.
But… these stats were absurd!
"Thank you for treating me with such importance, Void!"
Lucian grumbled sarcastically, glancing at the overwhelming horde.
If he explained his situation to others, they might think he was delusional.
Who could imagine a rookie lord facing monsters with stats this high during the early trial days?
"Father Void, such loving care. Truly 'fatherly love.'"
