"Now the XXX-level talent 'Immortal Life' has already helped me increase my lifespan by a total of 2,500 years. Compared to my original lifespan of less than a thousand years, the bonus provided by Immortal Life has thoroughly taken the lead, making it 2.5 times my original lifespan."

And according to the results shown by the 'Ability Four Source and Flow', Zhang Yanhang's current total lifespan has already increased from the original 2,520 years to 3,480 years.

"Now it's the year 2020 AD, and my lifespan is equivalent to living from 1500 BC to the twenty-first century. Back in 1500 BC, it was still the Shang Dynasty era, even the early stage of the Shang Dynasty."

Looking at the current situation, Zhang Yanhang estimates that after ascending to the Fifth Tier, he should be able to live at least to the Zhou Dynasty, and possibly even to the earlier times of Yao, Shun, and Yu.

"It's close now, just 1,500 years away, and I can live through a five thousand year span on my own. According to the current lifespan conversion rate, as long as I can increase my Constitution Attribute to 125 points after ascending to the Fifth Tier, I can gain an additional 500 years of lifespan again.

At that time, as long as the lifespan increase after ascending to the Fifth Tier is even slightly more than the Fourth Tier, this small goal should be easily achievable."

After all, it's the ascension to the Fifth Tier, Zhang Yanhang feels that the lifespan increase at that time can't possibly be lower than the Fourth Tier. Therefore, it's presumably not very difficult to achieve this small goal.

Moreover, in addition, Zhang Yanhang thinks that when he's in the Main World, he can actively 'search' for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can increase lifespan. By doing so, attacking from both sides, there's absolutely no way this goal won't be accomplished.

"Besides increasing my total lifespan to 3,480 years, this time the conversion rate of the attack power and defense bonus provided by the 'Source and Flow' has also increased by another 0.1%, directly increasing from 0.1% to 0.2%, effectively doubling it at once, the growth is truly considerable.

Thanks to this, after multiplying by my current total lifespan of 3,480 years, my attack power bonus and defense bonus immediately increased from the previous 252% to 696%. This surge directly boosted the attack power and defense bonus by 444%, almost equivalent to directly doubling my attack power bonus and defense bonus."

In other words, when Zhang Yanhang makes an attack now, it can cause at least approximately three times the damage as before, and his defense has also turned into three times the previous amount.

If Zhang Yanhang previously was not confident in directly enduring the skill attacks of Peak Fourth Tier Monsters and Fourth Tier Lord Monsters, now he has confidence to withstand even the skill attacks of Fourth Tier Lord Monsters directly, like those Crimson Iron Ant Queens without summoning the God of Sun—they absolutely can't move him even if they attack him while he stands still.

Of course, if they summon the God of Sun, then it's somewhat unbearable, as the gap between ranks is really quite large. Though he has the confidence to withstand Fourth Tier peak-level skill attacks, it's still far from directly enduring attacks from Fifth Tier Monsters, even the normal attacks from Fifth Tier Monsters might be unbearable.

But after all, he's only a Fourth Tier Awakener, achieving invincibility at the Fourth Tier is already quite impressive, enduring Fifth Tier attacks is something to deal with once he reaches the Fifth Tier.

Of course, all of this is under the premise of not using the Indestructible Golden Body—if he uses the Indestructible Golden Body, then he still has the confidence to endure.

"Apart from the increased attack power bonus and defense bonus, the more significant aspect is my XX-level talent [Sea House Addition], after upgrading to the XXX-level talent [Immortal Life], it actually activated a new ability again.

Moreover, this Ability Five [Heavenly Mandate] can even enhance the Luck value, although it's only a small addition, it indeed is a very nice beginning.

I knew it—considering all those previous talent names related to fortune, how could they not increase Luck value? Well, here it is!"

Furthermore, one of Zhang Yanhang's previously envisioned wishes, which is gaining a new ability that could grow alongside his lifespan, is also realized here. Aside from the initial starting Luck attribute value, every ten thousand years of lifespan can allow the ability 'Heavenly Mandate' to gain an extra point of Luck bonus.

"While ten thousand years of lifespan is really a lot, for me now, it's actually not too far off. If I make an effort, although the Fifth Tier might not be completed that quickly, reaching a lifespan beyond ten thousand years is very likely at the Sixth Tier."

Zhang Yanhang is quite looking forward to this Luck attribute bonus related to lifespan, because Luck is indeed very important to him, as Luck pertains to the treasure box drop rate—the higher the treasure box drop rate, the faster his growth speed naturally becomes, and the more talents he can acquire, allowing talents to be upgraded to higher levels.

"Based on my past experience, a point of Luck value can approximately decrease the rank penalty of one monster and increase the drop rate of one same tier by 0.5.

Using the Umbrella Biological Experiment Zone as an example, originally, I needed to kill eighteen of monsters like T-103 Super Tyrant, T-0400TP Death God Tyrant, and T-011 Talos Tyrant—these Third Tier Tyrants—before a treasure box might drop, but now I only need to kill seventeen to drop a box."

And originally, for Fourth Tier Monsters like Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank and Electromagnetic Railgun, I roughly needed to kill eight to drop a treasure box, but now it should only take about 7.5 kills to drop one.

Based on experience, Zhang Yanhang estimates that the treasure box drop rate of Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank and Electromagnetic Railgun was initially one box for every nine kills. Now, it has been totally increased by 1.5 due to his Luck value bonus.

"That's great, this way, I can acquire more coin fragments and T/G synthesized virus-modifying medicines. Although the total number of Electromagnetic Railguns is only a hundred, thanks to the newly added Luck value bonus, it's not difficult to achieve one or two more bottles of benefit."

Although one or two bottles don't seem much, in terms of drop rate, Zhang Yanhang originally was only getting a little over ten bottles in quantity, so—even just a small Luck value bonus—the amplification effect is still quite notable.

"Previously, the tarot card set was the only option to increase Luck value; now, with the new ability 'Heavenly Mandate,' there's finally another new channel."

But this still isn't enough. Zhang Yanhang wants to develop more channels to enhance Luck value. He's always had a small dream of lowering the treasure box drop rate from monsters to below five, and now he's getting closer and closer to that dream.

However, if he only relied on the Tarot Card Set and the Talent Immortal Life, it would take a considerable amount of time to achieve this. So, he needed other channels to help accelerate the completion of this small goal.

"Speaking of which, the phrase 'Heavenly Mandate' looks strange on its own. Every time I see it, it's easy to think of the following phrase, 'Heavenly Mandate, eternal longevity,' but indeed, it fits well with the essence of Immortal Life.

'Heavenly Mandate, eternal longevity,' although its original meaning might be to make the common people's lives stable and prosperous, when applied to me, it certainly means just that: to have a long life and for fortune to be perpetual, and even to turn such God-ordained events into an eternal trend."

As the [Heavenly Destiny Master], Zhang Yanhang felt that this new ability was still a good fit for himself.

After upgrading the XXX-level Talent Immortal Life, Zhang Yanhang quickly began inventorying other items that had been obtained from treasure boxes. First, in terms of artifacts, this time Zhang Yanhang finally obtained profits from treasure boxes other than equipment, namely the Dark Gold Quality [T/G Synthetic Virus Modification Serum].

This time, Zhang Yanhang opened six bottles of Dark Gold Quality [T/G Synthetic Virus Modification Serum] from the drop treasure box. However, since his current Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill has not been upgraded yet, Zhang Yanhang planned to concentrate on using these after the rank promotion in a little over four hours.

So, Zhang Yanhang immediately packed these [T/G Synthetic Virus Modification Serums] into his waist bag.

After inventorying the profits in terms of items, Zhang Yanhang continued to inventory the profits in terms of equipment, which had quite a variety. The first one, of course, is the Life Ring from the T-103 type Super Tyrant drop treasure box.

After counting, Zhang Yanhang discovered that he had obtained a total of 635 Light Golden Quality Life Rings this time, and previously, he had a total of thirty-one Golden Quality Life Rings +6, plus one Life Ring +5, one Life Ring +4, one Life Ring +3.

Since those thirty-one Life Rings +6 have already been fused to the limit and need not be counted, the remaining ones to be fused were only a Life Ring +5, a Life Ring +4, and a Life Ring +3, which together were equivalent to fifty-six Ordinary Life Rings.

All combined, Zhang Yanhang now possessed a total equivalent of 691 Life Rings, and he only lacked nine Life Rings +6. He expected to collect all of them this time.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang immediately took out the Life Ring +5, Life Ring +4, and Life Ring +3 from the waist bag and placed them into the Alchemy Array with the Life Rings he just opened.

During the first round of fusion, Zhang Yanhang needed sixteen batches to finally complete the fusion, resulting in 317 Life Rings +1, with one Life Ring left over.

The second round of fusion followed, and this time, Zhang Yanhang fused eight batches to produce 158 Life Rings +2, with another Life Ring +1 left over. Then, in the third round, Zhang Yanhang used four batches to produce 79 Life Rings +3, finally leaving no Life Ring left over.

For the fourth round of fusion, since Zhang Yanhang had one leftover Life Ring +3, a total of eighty Life Rings +3 participated in the fusion. He used two batches to fuse them into forty Life Rings +4.

However, during the fifth and sixth rounds, Zhang Yanhang did not use the previously prepared Life Rings +4 and Life Rings +5 at all. He used just one batch to fuse them into twenty Life Rings +5 and then used another batch to fuse them into ten Life Rings +6.

In the end, after completing the fusion, Zhang Yanhang held ten Life Rings +6 in his hand, as well as one Life Ring +5, one Life Ring +4, one Life Ring +2, one Life Ring +1, and one Ordinary Life Ring. Unfortunately, the situation of leftover Life Rings was quite serious, just one Life Ring +3 short of completing the Grand Slam.

"Previously, I had a total of thirty-one Life Rings +6. Now, after fusing ten more Life Rings +6, together, I have a total of forty-one Life Rings +6. I've finally managed to collect all the Life Rings needed for forty fingers.

Although the Crimson Iron Rings are still taking up space and cannot equip the Life Rings, once the Crimson Iron Rings are completely retired, I can switch them with Life Rings."

Currently, Zhang Yanhang still has nine fingers wearing Crimson Iron Rings, and he estimates that they will be entirely phased out in the Fifth Tier. Of course, if possible, he would even want to eliminate them now.

But sadly, he cannot achieve this small goal at the moment because he currently has no channel to enhance his Charm attribute unless he uses the accumulated free attribute points to directly boost it.

But that's obviously not possible because he needs to save those free attribute points to use after he gets promoted to the Fifth Tier. Only then will he use the leftover points to increase his Charm attribute after maximizing the Four main attributes.

For now, he's managed to free up a total of thirty-one fingers, and these thirty-one fingers were filled with Life Rings +6 during last fusion.

So, after completing this fusion, Zhang Yanhang neither wore nor replaced any Life Rings, opting instead to quietly pack all the newly fused Life Rings into his waist bag.

Although perhaps now he could try to break the limit, he felt he should wait at least until he possesses forty-eight or even forty-seven Life Rings +6 before doing so, instead of starting the fusion now.

After counting the number of Life Rings, Zhang Yanhang continued to count the Neck Potential Activation Devices from the T-0400TP Death God Tyrant drop treasure box, drawing a total of 221 Golden Quality Neck Potential Activation Devices this time.

Previously, Zhang Yanhang had four Neck Potential Activation Devices +5 and seven Neck Potential Activation Devices +4, one Neck Potential Activation Device +3.

Since the four Neck Potential Activation Devices +5 have already broken through the limit and are not included in the statistics, the remaining seven Neck Potential Activation Devices +4 and one Neck Potential Activation Device +3 together are equivalent to 120 ordinary Neck Potential Activation Devices.
