"Ding, congratulations to the host, the talent clone has been successfully upgraded to 8s level!"
"Ding, the following three paths have been activated, and the host can choose one!"
"Option One: The number of clones increases tenfold!"
"Option Two: The control distance increases tenfold!"
"Option Three: Clones can inherit up to 500% of combat power!"
"Please make your choice!"
"I choose one!"
"Ding, you have made your choice, your number of clones has increased to 5 trillion!"
The next moment, Lin Yu felt the changes within him. With a thought, all his clones disappeared, and with another thought, ten times the number of clones, five trillion, appeared around him.
It's worth noting that after years of reproduction, the human population on Blue Star is only a little over twenty billion.
Lin Yu's clones, numbering five trillion, are more than 250 times the human population of Blue Star.
"Blue Star today is vastly different from the past. Although my five trillion clones are numerous, they are still too few compared to all the living beings on Blue Star!"
Blue Star has become boundless, and the number of living beings is countless.
Even among intelligent beings, in the areas where humans reside, the population is billions of times greater than his current number of clones.
As the world grows larger, so do its inhabitants.
Lin Yu is getting stronger, and so is Blue Star.
"However, five trillion clones is still a considerable number!"
"It should be enough to explore all the broken voids."
With a thought, he instructed all his clones to continue exploring the broken voids.
He, on the other hand, submerged his consciousness into the system.
"Ding, you have been upgraded to 8s level and activated a permanent clone."
"You have awakened three options, please make your choice."
"Option One: Tribulation Clone: This clone possesses a special physique and can initiate heavenly tribulations anytime, anywhere. Each tribulation overcome doubles its strength. This clone can only be used once every hundred years!"
"Option Two: Fate Siphon Clone: This clone possesses a unique ability to siphon the fate of living beings and incorporate it into itself. Once the transformed fate successfully completes the path of another's destiny, it can enhance one's own fortune! This clone can only be used once every hundred years."
"Option Three: Demon Clone: In the previous era, beyond the Nine Rings, it was the domain of demons, who were born with powerful innate talents. You can create a demon clone and send it into the Demon Realm! There is no cooldown period for using this clone."
Lin Yu looked at the three options and fell into deep thought.
Option One was a growth-oriented clone, capable of infinitely increasing its strength, but it also risked death during tribulations, followed by a hundred-year cooldown.
"This clone seems powerful, but it's not very useful to me. Doubling its strength after overcoming one tribulation is too little."
He then looked at Option Two.
This clone was quite mysterious, siphoning the fate of others, transforming into them, and then completing their destinies to enhance one's own fortune.
This clone was quite valuable, as methods to enhance fortune were rare.
"Alas, if there wasn't a third option, I would definitely choose two!"
"System, I choose the third option!"
"Ding, you have made your choice, and you now possess a new permanent clone: Demon Clone!"
The next moment, a wealth of information appeared in his mind, detailing the usage of the Demon Clone.
He closed his eyes and silently recited, "Permanent Clone: Demon Clone!"
Boom!
His consciousness left his main body and appeared in the sky, then flew off towards an unknown destination.
He flew for what felt like millions of years, a disorienting experience.
Finally, his consciousness descended rapidly downwards.
"Boom!"
The scenery changed dramatically. He found himself surrounded by colossal beings.
These beings possessed immense power, far exceeding his own.
"These massive monsters are not at the Hunyuan level, but their aura is incredibly potent!"
"Could these be demons?"
Lin Yu recalled the usage of the Demon Clone and uttered a silent command.
The next moment.
*Crack.*
He looked down and saw an egg had appeared beneath his feet.
*Crack! Crack!*
The egg cracked open from the inside, and a pair of hands emerged.
Then came the *crackling* sounds as a person, identical to Lin Yu, climbed out of the egg.
The figure glanced at the eggshell, then conjured flames in his hand. In a short while, a hat appeared in his grasp.
"Brother, this is a Grand Unity level hat that I refined from my eggshell. Here, take it."
Lin Yu shook his head. "I can't take it with me. You should keep it. What are your abilities? And what is the situation in the Demon Realm?"
Looking around, the Demon Realm was peculiar.
The demons here were colossal and innumerable.
Furthermore, the weakest demon he sensed was at the Golden Immortal level. 138reading.net
If the enemies from nine rings ago were these demons, then there would have been no way to fight.
"Brother, let me first explain the situation in the Demon Realm."
"Demons are a special species, and they are divided into three types."
"The first type is the intelligent species. They are not large in size but possess exceptional intelligence, even surpassing humans."
"The second type is the Giant Soul form. They are incredibly large, like the demons you see now, which are of the Giant Soul species. They have low intelligence and typically serve as cannon fodder for the intelligent species."
"The third type is the Fate species. This type of demon is extremely rare. They feed on the fate of living beings and are the most dangerous."
"All demons are naturally born. Demons have no gender and automatically appear in random locations."
"Any type of demon has the potential to become a Hunyuan level demon!"
Lin Yu asked, "Hurry and tell me, what type of demon are you?"
The Demon Clone chuckled. "I was born with destiny, so naturally, I am of the Fate species. I have two abilities."
"The first ability is 'Fate Eating': I can consume the fate of living beings and gain a random ability from them."
"The second ability is 'Fate Manipulation': The great waves of the era surge forward. Whether strong or weak, all are merely small ripples in the tide of the era. I can manipulate the fate of beings weaker than myself!"
"First, use Fate Eating to devour a portion of the opponent's fortune, seize one of their abilities, weakening them, and then manipulate their fate, causing them numerous tribulations, and finally guiding them to a tragic end."
"This is the common practice of the Fate species."
Lin Yu understood.
Simply put, he was a fortune devourer, consuming others' fortune and an ability to enhance his own fortune and strength, and he could also manipulate the fate of the weak.
This ability, though seemingly not overtly powerful, was difficult to resist.
Especially for the weak, their fate could be manipulated without them even realizing it, and they would die without knowing how.
"Does the Fate Eating ability have a limit?"
"The limit is related to my strength. Currently, the upper limit for consumption is ten thousand."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
This meant he could acquire ten thousand abilities.
"If you have time, use this ability more often to acquire some abilities!"
"Oh, and your name from now on will be Lin Yun."
