In an instant, Xu Lang felt an infinite domineering aura surge within his chest. The way he looked at the world gained a hint of scrutiny, and at the same time, he felt a massive boost in the power of his fists and feet.

Xu Lang's heart was elated, but before the smile could even form on his face, it froze.

He felt his arms go empty—all the loot had vanished into thin air!

In the last two trials, he had taken and taken, but this time, he wasn't allowed to.

"Stingy!"

Xu Lang gritted his teeth silently, then looked up at the three Constitution Talents before him.

【Ghostly Deity Descends: Constitution +100, gain special attribute "Ghostly Deity Power," transform into one of the Primordial Ghostly Deities, and be able to summon, possess, command, and devour various Ghostly Deity powers】

【Void Devouring Beast: Can survive in any extreme environment, immune to 95% of Elemental Attacks】

【Overlord: Infinite growth. The six main Constitution attributes—Strength, Speed, Endurance, Resistance, Perception, and Elemental Mastery—will grow to the limit of the current species. This increase will not be converted into "Constitution" attribute points】

"Third-stage Mad King talents are all this ridiculous?!"

Exaggerated, way too exaggerated!

Xu Lang had never even heard of such insane Attribute Talents. Experienced as he was, even he was stunned by these three talents right now.

The first one, Ghostly Deity Descends—this essentially gave him an identity with practical use: a Ghostly Deity!

And a Primordial Ghostly Deity at that!

Ghostly Deities were very different from the main god. Ghostly Deities didn't need followers; they needed vessels.

Players who possessed Ghostly Deity power weren't called the Chosen Ones, but Children of Ghostly Deities. As for exactly how Ghostly Deities came into existence, no one knew. The mainstream theory was that through the convergence of fate, the world spontaneously birthed them.

Ghostly Deities had strong and weak ones, and Primordial Ghostly Deities could even devour each other.

Ghostly Deity Power symbolized the characteristics of different Ghostly Deities.

Xu Lang was a bit curious—if he became a Ghostly Deity, what would the characteristic of his Ghostly Deity Power be? Ice, fire, lightning, thunder, or something else?

"Damn, choosing Ghostly Deity Descends gives 100 free Constitution—this speeds up my process of breaking through 1200 attribute points!"

Xu Lang's heart was seriously tempted. By now, he had already defaulted to the standard that the trigger condition for his Attribute Limit Break Trial was doubling his attributes.

"Void Devouring Beast!"

"This Attribute Talent almost rivals the Scarlet Shepherd's 'High Seat'!"

"One grants immunity to control, the other grants immunity to damage!"

With the Void Devouring Beast talent, Xu Lang could become a terrifying war machine. He could charge through most AOE damage headfirst.

Even if the damage was too high, he could just die on the spot and then rise from his coffin!

Herd Spirit: "You sure know how to play!"

The last Constitution Talent—Overlord!

This talent was very interesting.

No injections, no medicine, no bottlenecks, no need to devour, no need to optimize, no need for Limit Breaks.

Just by staying alive, you would eventually become the overlord of the human world.

Lie at home for a hundred days, and bam—I'm Xiang Yu!

"Sigh, truly a good talent, perfect for me. It's just that the numerical increase doesn't directly add to the attribute points." Xu Lang felt a slight regret.

The Overlord talent enhanced the quality of the attributes.

The attribute system of the Dorm Survival Game was the most complex attribute system Xu Lang had ever seen.

On the surface, it only had Constitution and Spirit, but when broken down, there were hundreds of quantifiable minor attributes.

Xu Lang's Constitution was currently 600 points. When he briefly expanded the first layer, a six-dimensional stat appeared.

【Attribute: Constitution 600 (Strength 10, Speed 5, Endurance 4, Resistance 5, Perception 3, Elemental Affinity 3)】

10 points was the limit. As Constitution attributes increased, these numbers could also be diluted.

If two people both had 10 points of Constitution, one might run fast, and the other might have great strength—their focus points differed.

This six major attributes were used to see the focus points.

Furthermore, these six major attributes could be expanded even further.

For example, Speed had sub-attributes like Balance and Agility, while Endurance had Load Capacity, Recovery Power, Body Toughness, and so on.

This whole long list of attributes made one's head spin. If it wasn't a veteran player or an actuary, others wouldn't be able to understand it at all.

"Overlord lets me grow to the species limit. I wonder if, for my species, I can max out all six main Constitution attributes at 10!" Xu Lang felt that human potential was still quite substantial.

10 points was the limit for the six major Constitution attributes.

Xu Lang's Strength reaching 10 points was entirely thanks to the Principle of Force.

The three Constitution Talents burned quietly before him, unhurried, calmly waiting for Xu Lang's choice.

"As long as I pass the fourth Mad King Trial, the other two attributes will merge into my body during the next breakthrough."

In the end, Xu Lang chose Ghostly Deity Descends. Then, the world before his eyes went completely dark.

Cursing inwardly, Xu Lang quickly opened his eyes.

...

"Fuck!"

"I was too absorbed in the dream!"

Xu Lang's face was speechless, and he fiercely gritted his teeth.

Mary coughed, stood up, and said, "Master, did you complete the Attribute Limit Break?"

"Not yet." Xu Lang looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Let's go home first. I prefer to do the Attribute Limit Break in bed."

Mary rolled her eyes.

Was he really aiming for the Attribute Limit Break?

Back at Demon King Castle, Xu Lang deliberated for a moment. He didn't immediately proceed with the Limit Break Trial, nor did he continue with the Simulation.

The odds of winning against Adams were a bit low.

Coincidentally, he could barely suppress the Scarlet Shepherd Sequence anymore, so he decided to just ascend first, then do the Limit Break Trial.

Inside the Training Room, the twilight surged. The surrounding scenery shifted abruptly. The reflection of the Grave Pasture appeared on the ceiling, then quickly enveloped the entire space.

The Grave Pasture seemed to merge with the present world. Scarlet lightning leaped across the ceiling, filled with a wild, primal aura.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Xu Lang, who had been standing in the center of the Training Room, vanished. Yet the strange phenomenon continued.

The power of the Sequence was interfering with the present world. If Xu Lang failed his ascension, both he and the entire Scarlet Shepherd Sequence would go berserk.

...

The Grave Pasture. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Herd Spirits knelt in a circle, forming a ring around Xu Lang.

The power of the Sequence was surging. It had been suppressed for too long, and now that the restrictions were suddenly lifted, thunder rolled across the sky, and a ceaseless rain of blood poured down.

This wasn't an ascension—it was clearly a scene of the apocalypse.

Xu Lang's face twisted in agony. Though there was no physical pain, the sensation of his body and mind being alienated was terrifying beyond words.

It was as if he was no longer himself, and was about to become part of the Scarlet Shepherd!

The vast amount of supernatural information contained within the Scarlet Shepherd was constantly washing over his soul.

The difficulty of a B-rank Sequence ascension exceeded Xu Lang's imagination.

Even with all his stats maxed out, possessing four Constitution Talents and four Spirit Talents, he still felt like he was about to lose control.

Suddenly, all the scarlet thunderbolts in the sky struck Xu Lang, forming a scarlet waterfall.

The scarlet waterfall was directly absorbed into his brow, vanishing without a trace.

Then, the wind, rain, sky, and grass all surged toward Xu Lang like a dreamy phantom.

"Wooooo!"

The Soul-Herding Wolf howled and leaped into Xu Lang's brow.

Then, Saladin, Song Fei, and the other Herd Spirits, along with their tombstones, also merged into Xu Lang's brow!

Some Herd Spirits secretly sighed with regret.

Xu Lang's ascension was supposed to be an excellent opportunity for a Backlash, yet no Herd Spirit sounded the horn of counterattack.

They had been Cattle and Sheep for far too long, and had no will to resist.

Even if there was an uncontrollable desire for vengeance in their hearts, it was extracted by the Scarlet Shepherd Sequence itself, used as nourishment for its own growth.

With the Herd Spirits no longer encircling him, Xu Lang finally couldn't hold back. He bent over, covered his forehead, and his face contorted!

He felt as though his very spirit was being twisted into a pretzel. If it weren't for the Mad Spirit Talent holding him up, he might have actually lost control for a little while!
