Chapter 1399: Chapter 580: Basic Law Force

“Basic Law Force…”

Wang Tao muttered to himself.

This thing is the key to ascending to the Seventh Level.

But the ascent to the Seventh Level requires more than just the Power of Laws, it also demands that the “Basic Attributes” meet the standard, and that one successfully comprehends a “Domain”!

This was far more complex and difficult than Wang Tao had imagined.

The word “Basic” in Basic Attributes sounds as if it should be easy, but in reality, the difficulty is substantial!

The so-called Basic Attributes are divided into six types, and one only qualifies if all six types meet the standard.

So far, Wang Tao has only met the standard for the first Basic Attribute, “Sixth Rank HP Increase Maxed.” The obvious criterion here is a Sixth Rank HP of one million.

Wang Tao estimated that the second Basic Attribute– “Sixth Rank Mana Increase Maxed,” should require reaching a Sixth Rank Mana of one million, corresponding to HP.

Previously, he didn’t pay much attention to Mana because, with his current strength, Mana was usually sufficient. Thus, up to now, he only had 450,000 Mana. This amount of Mana was certainly enough for his own use, but being one of the Basic Attributes, he would need to find ways to increase the Mana cap.

However, compared to HP, increasing the Mana cap is simpler as it can be boosted through the Fusion Crystal Core, and some Crystal Cores, such as the Awakening Crystal Core, have no limit on the number of fusions. Therefore, theoretically, as long as one has enough Crystal Cores, it shouldn’t be hard to raise Mana to one million.

Of course, that’s the theory. In practice, obtaining that many Crystal Cores is still quite a challenge. For most people, it might be a long process.

The third Basic Attribute, “Four Abilities Maxed,” is relatively easier, at least for Wang Tao.

He only needs to hunt enough sixth-rank zombies, monsters, and obtain sufficient Sixth Rank Omnipotent Crystal Cores to max out the four Abilities.

The fourth Basic Attribute causes some confusion for Wang Tao– “Four Awakenings Maxed.”

How do you increase Awakening?

He doesn’t have the option to do so!

Wang Tao knew only that, as his own strength and the limit of Awakening Energy grew, Awakenings would become more powerful. But without specific values, there’s no concrete indication that an Awakening has improved…

Wang Tao was temporarily puzzled and would have to study it more in the future.

However, there is another critical point about this Basic Attribute–it speaks of “Four Awakenings”!

This means that with only one Awakening, there is no way to ascend to the Seventh Level, and four Awakenings are one of the thresholds.

Wang Tao suddenly thought of the previous condition, “Four Abilities Maxed,” and some people cannot fuse four Abilities. The unluckiest ones only have one Ability, and these are the most common in the base.

Moreover, the number of Abilities is also related to Awakening, for the prerequisite of Awakening is the fusion of HP, Secret Key, Hidden Attributes, and Ability…

So, it means if one cannot learn four Abilities, they are doomed never to ascend to the Seventh Level. From the moment humans first fused with a Crystal Core, one could tell whether they had the potential to ascend to the Seventh Level…

The fifth condition–“Awakening Energy Boost Maxed.” Wang Tao’s current Awakening Energy is over nine thousand, almost ten thousand, but he’s not clear what counts as Maxed. But since there is a Max level, there’s a cap, and as long as he fuses enough Awakening Crystal Cores and Awakening Energy Pearls, he will surely meet the goal. Moreover, while fusing Awakening Crystal Cores, he can also increase Mana cap at the same time–these two Attributes can be enhanced simultaneously.

Regarding the last Basic Attribute, “A Trace of Primary Law Power,” that’s the new attribute that’s just appeared on his panel.

According to the description there, slaying a creature bearing the Power of Laws will grant Primary Law Force. When Primary Law Force reaches 100%, it automatically fuses into a Primary Law. However, it doesn’t specify how much is obtained from a single creature–if one only gains 1% each time, gathering 100% Primary Law Force would take a long time.

And the reason why Wang Tao has this attribute of Primary Law Force is because of this Catastrophe-level Radiation Zombie before him!

Upon seeing it, Wang Tao vaguely felt that if he could kill it, it seemed he would gain some advantages. These benefits are related to ascending to the Seventh Level.

So evidently, this Radiation Zombie before him carries the Power of Laws!

Wang Tao suddenly remembered the previously mentioned Zhao Yue, who felt that slaying that Dark Beast would be beneficial for his Seventh Level Ascension, which is why he insisted on hunting the Dark Beast…and at the time, Wang Tao had felt nothing!

So, Wang Tao speculated, perhaps the condition to sense and acquire Basic Law Force is that one of these six Basic Attributes meets the standard, or it simply requires reaching Sixth-Rank HP of one million and then witnessing a creature with Basic Law Force.

Lastly, and of most concern to Wang Tao–how to ascend to the Seventh Level.

According to the panel’s introduction, once all six Basic Attributes are met, one can choose to fuse these Attributes and then attempt to comprehend a “Law Domain.” This Law Domain is similar to an Awakening; just as one ascends to Level 4 after a successful Awakening, successful comprehension of Understanding of Law would allow one to ascend to the Seventh Level.

However, unlike Awakening, if diving into the Law Domain fails, one might only lose some HP, Secret Key, increasing the difficulty of the next Awakening, but there would be no mortal danger.
