Chapter 399【I Can Maximize the Value of the Child of Destiny】
After a brief moment of pondering, Bai Feng decided to give up on thinking altogether.
Whether or not he still had fingers—wait, scratch that—without the system’s guidance, he simply had no idea where to look.
Moreover, the Star Road in the sky was almost ‘assembled,’ and the ‘door’ was about to appear.
So, the plan was: first, a good rest, then enter the Star Road—sounds like a plan, right?
Not to mention, Bai Yu Mo was a little drained after this fight. If he hadn’t caught her in time, she might’ve just collapsed on the ground.
“Alright, let’s head back and rest,” Bai Feng said.
“Mm…” Bai Yu Mo nearly leaned all her weight onto him, but from the way she clenched her arms around him, it was clear she wasn’t as exhausted as she looked.
She was starting to get a little mischievous now…
“I’m also pretty tired,” Bai Feng said.
At this moment, Yun Yue Yao hurried over, then reached out and hugged Bai Feng, snatching half of Bai Yu Mo’s ‘territory’ while that ‘weak’ girl still clung onto him.
Bai Feng: “……”
What are you tired from? My Extermination Sword Array should be the one tired!
He internally complained a bit before casually rubbing her tiny head: “If you’re tired, then hurry back to your ring and rest.”
“Do you want to go back to the room and sleep together?”
“…You’d better be genuinely wanting to sleep.”
……
Inside the ring.
Bai Feng checked out the upgraded system. Nothing much changed about it; it just added two new buttons—a Trial Space and a Little Helper. The Little Helper had small, faintly colored letters next to it: 0.1 Beta.
“This system’s always giving me new tricks,” Bai Feng muttered.
He planned to see what the Trial Space was all about—after all, the system had previously rewarded him with a Refinement Stage trial.
The explanation for the new Trial Space was pretty straightforward: it’s like a mental space where time flows differently. Inside it, you could learn Cultivation Techniques, even battle preset enemies.
And, interestingly, you could choose to summon Child of Destiny characters. The catch? You need to know about which Child of Destiny you want to summon beforehand, and if you want to maximize their power, you gotta k*ll them first.
Only dead Child of Destiny characters can be fully summoned, and inside the Trial Space, you can view and learn the techniques and moves they cultivated—they even got a special feature for that. But honestly, Bai Feng couldn’t see himself using this info much.
No, wait, he might actually use it…
Like, to summon the Child of Destiny he’d exhausted all tricks to k*ll in the Secret Realm, or the Demon Cultivator Child of Destiny who was murdered by Zuo Qiu, or the unfortunate one who had ticked off Lin Yan and Luo Chen at the same time.
All three could be fully summoned in the Trial Space. Apart from that, Bai Feng could also summon Bai Yu Mo and others, but they’d be slightly weaker and he wouldn’t be able to peek at their cultivation techniques or moves.
Basically, it’s a new feature designed to encourage the Host to k*ll Child of Destiny characters—proof that the system still isn’t tired of playing.
*Sigh* — just as I suspected, don’t have any high hopes for system upgrades anymore.
Bai Feng sighed. Still, this feature wasn’t useless—it could help him cultivate techniques and strategies, maybe even help in array formation deductions.
Thinking of that, he opened the Trial Space. In the next second, he found himself in a vast open area.
There was nothing here but a half-human-sized stone pillar with a strange button on top. Next to it, a tiny inscription was carved: “Refinement Stage Trial.”
“Just press it and I should be doing the Refinement Stage trial, right?” he wondered.
But he hesitated; after all, this Secret Realm restricted Refinement Stage cultivators. If he suddenly broke through now, it’d be hard to explain to others. Success too fast—well, that makes him a genius; too fast—well, that’s just suspicious.
Better play it safe first.
He then looked around the empty space. According to the Trial Space instructions, he could set up the environment he needed.
He raised his hand, and suddenly a lush, green plain appeared before him—even though, strangely, the land was subdivided into cube-shaped blocks, and the protruding parts were also cuboid, just like Lego bricks.
“Wow, you can build stuff like this too? d*mn, that’s next-level sandbox,” Bai Feng exclaimed in surprise, touching the jagged, blocky dirt.
He’d just had a sudden idea—perhaps this was like playing a real-life version of Minecraft?
But he didn’t spend all day building the terrain. Instead, he waved his hand and summoned his array disk for a new test.
After some time, Bai Feng put away the array disk. His tests confirmed it: this place could indeed simulate Array formations, saving him tons of time and money. Failing in array-building was common, which was partly why he was short on funds.
“Let’s call it quits for now,” he decided.
After finishing the trial, Bai Feng reopened the system and pointed at the new Little Helper feature.
He’d definitely want to see what this so-called Little Helper thing was.
As he pressed the button, a glowing, round orb suddenly appeared before him.
He stared at the orb for a while, then tentatively poked it with his finger. To his surprise, the orb had a physical form—it was soft to the touch, kind of like a mochi cake made from glutinous rice flour Bai Feng loved.
[Loading data…]
[Loading complete. Little Helper is happy to serve you.]
Looking at the softly glowing sphere, Bai Feng stroked his chin and asked, “What exactly can this Little Helper do?”
【Organize data, answer your questions, and if you have eliminated Child of Destiny characters, it can also read their memories—maximizing the value of the Child of Destiny.】
“……No kidding, it’s system-made,” Bai Feng said with a slight smile. “Any other features?”
If it only had these functions, he’d probably just use it as a note-taking tool.
“By the way, if you manage to eliminate or capture the remaining remnants of Immortals or their divine consciousness, I can analyze those too,” the Little Helper added.
“Huh… that sounds pretty good,” Bai Feng nodded.
But honestly, it was still pretty useless. Who on earth had the time to hunt down remnants of Immortals or divine consciousness?
Finally, Bai Feng sighed and closed the Little Helper.
It was only version 0.1—maybe future updates would be useful? But knowing the system, it probably wouldn’t amount to much even if it upgraded.
He muttered, then exited the Trial Space. Just as he did, he noticed Tian Yan had somehow slipped over, now silently practicing her cultivation right next to him.
