Chapter 8 Deity Descending_1

The settlement information dazzled Wang Ran.

[Achievements You've Obtained in This Simulation:]

[① Apprentice of Survival]

[The apocalypse has arrived, and you, my boy, only lasted ten days before kicking the bucket!]

[② Twice Blossomed Plum]

[You engaged in indescribable events with the same person of the opposite sex in two separate simulation experiences. Is this woman really that attractive to you?]

[③Boom]

[You've unlocked a brand-new way to die: Artistry!]

[Survival Time for This Simulation: 10 Days]

[Congratulations, You've Gained 130 Free Attribute Points]

[Congratulations, You've Earned 13 Chances to Draw Talents]

"Draw a Legendary Talent!"

Wang Ran's voice trembled with excitement.

As soon as the words left his mouth, everything before his eyes became blurred, the surroundings as if stripped away by time, like peeling wall paint,

yellowed, cracked, curling,

and as he watched, it flaked off to reveal the vast nothingness.

Deep darkness flowed out from the void like a river, its bed embedded with dazzling stars, each one emitting a unique glow.

This radiance fell upon Wang Ran.

In a daze,

piercing shrieks surged like a tide,

and Wang Ran stood there, dumbfounded,

as a rust-streaked bronze arm parted the miles of dark clouds, an ancient city enveloped in blinding flashes collided with the undulating mountains, and the earth flowed with magma like spilt blood...

In the shadows, an indescribable leviathan quietly rose.

[Please Make Your Choice]

Luminous green text appeared before Wang Ran,

a chill breeze swept over his body,

and he jerked awake.

He had a vague feeling of undergoing an unforgettable event, but now he could not recall anything, as if it were all a dream.

He inquired, "What just happened?"

[Many talents resonated with you]

[You were caught in a hallucination]

[This is a good thing, but your mental attribute is too low to withstand the impact of multiple resonances. Please increase your mental attribute before trying again]

Wang Ran asked in confusion, "What is resonance?"

[Every Legendary Talent has a heroic story behind it. Resonating with a Legendary Talent can earn the attention of its creator's will, unlocking hidden properties of the Legendary Talent]

[As the owner of the Savior Simulator]

[You are favored by Legendary Talents, and resonance will automatically commence once the mental attribute requirement is met]

"I see."

Wang Ran nodded thoughtfully.

Just a hallucination?

[The Talent Space is about to close]

[Please make your choice as soon as possible]

Wang Ran turned his attention to the resplendent stars set in the engulfing darkness, knowing each one represented a Legendary Talent, though he was unclear about the specific talents.

He felt the call of these stars,

some strong, some weak,

His gaze slowly shifted until settling on a star that emitted a crimson radiance.

"I choose this one!"

The star's glow pulsed, as though it were alive, waxing and waning in its brilliance.

[Congratulations, You Have Acquired the Talent "Deity Descending"]

Boom!

The star's light flared up, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness, plummeting straight toward Wang Ran!

Wang Ran instinctively raised his hand to block, but the star had no physical form, piercing directly into his chest and merging with his heart.

Scarlet light threatened to burst forth from his chest.

Crimson lines spread from Wang Ran's heart to his limbs, ultimately forming an intricate web of strange patterns.

Crimson light coursed within these patterns.

[Descent of the Ghost God]

[You shall be immune to one instance of fatal damage, while your mental attribute is temporarily reduced to zero, summoning a ghost god from myths to descend upon you]

[Form the body of the ghost god, annihilate enemies from all sides]

[Resonance: None at the moment]

[Cooldown: 30 Days]

The darkness rolled up the stars in the sky, the void gradually receded, and the scene of reality slowly came back into Wang Ran's view.

He murmured softly, "Deity Descending..."

The name of this Talent oozed an invincible aura, although the description did not give specific values, its Legendary quality was certainly not just an empty title.

One would know how powerful it was after taking a fatal blow.

Wang Ran thought back to how he had died in this simulation: blown up by a missile. Now that he had "Deity Descending," could he physically withstand a missile?

This was something that only happened in movies!

Wang Ran was somewhat tempted,

but he quickly dismissed the thought.

He didn't doubt that he could survive a missile strike with "Descent of the Ghost God," but there was no need to take a missile just for the sake of it.

"I need to escape from the university town with Lin Ying before the army launches the missiles," he said.

Wang Ran recalled the intelligence he had gathered during this simulation.

Once the army fired the missiles, the strange flowers would release a bizarre spore that turned people into mushrooms, and the disappearance of the artillery fire in the north of the city was a clear sign that the military had been wiped out.

"Every mushroom blooms a flower"

"The next day, the flowers bloom everywhere"

Wang Ran got goosebumps just thinking about these two sentences.

Without a doubt, Lin Ying would surely die if she came into contact with the spores, so he must escape with her before the army fired their missiles or the apocalypse arrived.

"It would be best to escape this city," he muttered with a wry smile.

How easy could it be to escape the city?

The city must be teeming with monsters. He might have a chance to escape on his own, but it was a different story to also have to take care of a high-maintenance young lady.

But he would not give up on Lin Ying.

If he didn't have the simulator, he would be a doomed pair with Lin Ying in the basement.

That was the future he had originally faced.

So, theoretically, Lin Ying was his future girlfriend.

How could he abandon his future girlfriend at the first sign of danger?

After all, he was a transmigrator with a second chance!

"First, let's max out the attributes."

Wang Ran was not discouraged.

A human's maximum attribute could reach one thousand, and his highest attribute was only one hundred, which was far from a thousand.

This simulation had granted him 130 Free Attribute Points.

Miracles come from strength!

He added all these points to Strength.

[Strength: 174]

[Constitution: 27]

[Agility: 100]

[Spirit: 10]

[Comprehension: 10]

Strength and Agility were exceptionally outstanding,

while the other attributes were a complete mess,

Wang Ran hoped the other attributes would not affect the performance of Strength and Agility.

But even if they did affect them, it wouldn't matter,

because he was about to boost his other attributes soon.

Wang Ran said softly, "Draw a Talent!"

This simulation had also granted him 13 chances to draw Talents, and he just so happened to have earned two empty Talent slots by completing milestone tasks.

Rows of Talents appeared before Wang Ran's eyes.

Wang Ran automatically filtered out the gray and white Talents, leaving three green ones and one blue Talent.

[Super Long Reflex Arc: Negates physical pain during combat, with all pain bursting forth once the fight is over (There was a girl who once had a crush on me, by the time I realized it, her grandson was holding his own grandson)]

"This Talent is too practical," he said.

Wang Ran set his sights on it immediately.

Although he had the Savior Simulator, he was still a normal person who feared pain.

With this Talent,

he could fight fearlessly.

[Swordsmanship Mastery: Possess advanced swordsmanship skills (My swordsmanship is so good that many people have added me on WeChat, wanting to discuss it in-depth)]

Wang Ran's opinion on this Talent was: guns are fast beyond three steps, and guns are faster and more accurate within three steps.

Useless!

The third green Talent was [Cultivation Master].

At first glance, it seemed related to practicing martial arts,

but a closer look revealed it to be laughable.

[Cultivation Master: When you lie, it's easier to make others believe you (I never blush when I lie; even lie detectors are useless against me because I can even deceive myself)]

To deceive oneself...

Wang Ran found this Talent somewhat interesting.

This Talent might be combined with "Disguise" to good effect. If he could deceive himself into believing he was invisible, then wouldn't "Disguise" become an active skill?
