Volume 3 Chapter 49: Bloodline Transformation

“Hmm, I believe that! The Elven Race is very united. The World Tree Fruit is like the physical rebirth of an Elf Elder. Even using force, you couldn’t just take it.” The female Apostle wearing an elf mask gently nodded her head. “You must have a deep relationship with the Elven Race to have obtained the World Tree Fruit.”

“Then, can you guide me in turning the World Tree Fruit into a Moon Night Elf bloodline item?” Qin Lun asked with a somewhat ingratiating tone.

“Hehe, whether one can possess a bloodline is one of the major divides in an Apostle’s strength. The 10,000 Shattered Crystal information fee is not enough!” The eyes behind the elf mask twinkled mischievously as she laughed lightly. “However, out of respect for the Elf Elder who sacrificed the World Tree Fruit, I can tell you this ‘important method’.”

This high-rank Apostle, who clearly favored the Elven Race and probably also possessed the Moon Night Elf Bloodline, explained the method in a teasing tone. After hearing it, Qin Lun was left speechless. It turned out the method was so simple, so straightforward that he had never even considered it.

On a material level, the Moon Night Elf’s World Tree Fruit already had the function of allowing the Law Body to fuse with the Moon Night Elf Bloodline. The only difficulty for the Apostle was absorption; they needed to fuse one Law Fusion Crystal from the Shattered Starry Sky. And as it happened, Qin Lun still had two Law Fusion Crystals left from his mission settlement in the Phantom Demon World, so this was not a problem at all.

Qin Lun didn’t dwell on the 10,000 Shattered Crystal information fee and paid it promptly. This was a necessary cost for his growth into a high-rank Apostle, something he couldn’t avoid. Seizing the moment while the high-rank Apostle opposite him was in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask for more advice on aspects to pay attention to during bloodline fusion.

The Apostle opposite seemed to intentionally mentor this “junior elf descendant.” Not only did she patiently answer his questions, but she also gave him many suggestions regarding the elf class change path, which he found very beneficial.

After the projection meeting ended, Qin Lun returned to his room. He took out one Law Fusion Crystal and pressed it against the pineapple-sized World Tree Fruit. The Law Fusion Crystal from the Shattered Starry Sky had form but no substance. With the rhythm of his consciousness, it turned into a stream of orange-yellow light and merged into the World Tree Fruit.

The World Tree Fruit that had fused with the Law Crystal showed no outward changes. However, a detailed description about it appeared in the Death Notice, indicating that it was now a bloodline item that could be directly used by an Apostle.

World Tree Fruit (Bloodline Item): This is a World Tree Fruit that has fused with the characteristics of the Moon Night Elf. After use, the Apostle’s original bloodline will be replaced with the Moon Night Elf Bloodline, with a success rate of 85%.

Note: This fruit has not fused with any elf inheritance and can only grant the Apostle a basic Moon Night Elf Bloodline. The transformation effect on the Law Body is uncertain; it may enhance or weaken it. It will greatly increase the Apostle’s affinity for the Wind Element and Wood Element, and add two elf bloodline abilities.

Warning: This fruit can only replace low-rank bloodlines. Attempting to replace mid or high-rank bloodlines has a high chance of failure.

After reading the prompt information in the Death Notice, Qin Lun did not hesitate. Under the control of his Apostle Soul Mark, the World Tree Fruit turned into specks of green starlight and merged into his Law Body.

“Apostle 70053, you have used the World Tree Fruit. Your Law Body is undergoing bloodline transformation. Please ensure you are in a non-combat state, minimize physical exertion, and maintain emotional stability.”

“Prompt: Apostle 70053, the bloodline transformation is complete. You can check the specific information in the Death Notice.”

A flash of joy passed through Qin Lun’s heart, and he immersed his consciousness into the Death Notice.

Moonlit Summoning: A special ability of the Moon Night Elf. Bathed in moonlight, the Moon Night Elf can significantly increase their personal affinity, recruit and command most animals, and increase the success rate of summoning contracts.

Note: Moonlit Summoning cannot affect Undead, Demons, or Chaos-type creatures.

Seeing the significant changes in his character status in the Death Notice, Qin Lun couldn’t help but sigh softly. One bloodline transformation enhanced the Law Body more than two rounds of body strengthening after mission worlds. No wonder bloodline items were considered one of the watersheds of an Apostle’s strength.

Of course, this was also related to Qin Lun’s relatively poor foundation and the fact that the Moon Night Elf Bloodline was better than most low-level bloodlines. If he had already undergone over ten body strengthenings, the effect of the bloodline transformation might not have been so significant.

From this bloodline transformation, it was apparent that the Moon Night Elf’s attributes leaned more towards Perception and Agility, and the enhancement to Mana Value was also quite noticeable, probably due to the changes brought by the two natural element affinities.

Now, Qin Lun no longer had to worry about the usage count of the Crystal Mirror Magic Array. Coupled with the ready supply of recovery items, using the Crystal Mirror Magic Array over ten times in a single battle was no longer a problem.

Having obtained the Moon Night Elf Bloodline, Qin Lun became much more diligent in his visits to the Training Ground. He needed to quickly familiarize himself with his significantly enhanced body. Out of the remaining 15,000 Shattered Crystals and 300 Exchange Vouchers, aside from training fees and a reserve of 5,000 Shattered Crystals, he used all the rest to purchase recovery items.

Due to the scarcity of circulating virtual currency, Qin Lun had to sell his last remaining Fusion Crystal and the Grudge Soul Orb. Combined with his original recovery items, his Storage Space now contained World Tree Dew (three drops), Self-Healing Crystal, Phantom Demon Tenderloin, three vials of Concentrated Silvermycin, two Healing Bandages, four pieces of Scallion Pancakes, and two bottles of high-grade Royal Jelly.

The effects of Concentrated Silvermycin, Scallion Pancakes, and high-grade Royal Jelly were twice as effective as the original items, but of course, their prices were also doubled. Considering the significant role low-concentration Holy Water played in the Phantom Demon World, Qin Lun prepared another bottle this time.

Although there were many types of items, if Qin Lun didn’t feel he would engage in intense close combat, this amount was really insufficient. The only useless item in his Storage Space, the Bronze Evaluation Card, was exchanged for a dark blue Combat Gauge.

The purple Combat Gauge from the Phantom Demon World was rented and, after the mission ended, was taken back by the Shattered Starry Sky along with the Time-Space Core. This time, he could only exchange for a dark blue Combat Gauge.

However, with his Perception reaching 26 points, this item would play a much greater role and was significant for quickly establishing an accurate Combat Model during battle.

A week passed in a blink, and it was soon the agreed-upon time. Perhaps due to the presence of the temporary Team Emblem, Qin Lun did not feel the rejection of the World Law this time. He estimated that once the countdown ended, he would automatically be teleported to some otherworldly dimension.

Arriving again at the Teleportation Hall in Devil’s Horn, Clown Grant and Little Lian’s trio had already arrived.

Clown Grant had a powerful build, standing over seven feet tall, like a giant. When Grant first entered the Shattered Starry Sky, he was a deformed child with an ugly appearance, crooked features, and a severe skin condition.

However, during that prisoners’ gathering, Grant seemed to have spent a great deal to adjust his Law Body. He no longer looked like someone who shunned the light. At the very least, outwardly, he looked no different from an ordinary, large-built man.

At this moment, Grant wore a somewhat comical clown mask on his face. This wasn’t an item issued by the management race to city Apostles; it seemed to be a low-level Apostle equipment.

Qin Lun glanced at him, then turned his head away, avoiding staring to prevent annoying the clown.

Physical ailments can be cured, but mental illness is hard to treat! Even if Grant spent Shattered Crystals to erase his physical disabilities, the twisted soul hidden in his heart could never return to normal.

“Qin Lun, you’re late!” The masked clown’s voice sounded somewhat muffled.

“Sorry, let’s go into the room. There’s not much time left!” Qin Lun smiled gently and walked towards a single room.

Even though they had formed a temporary team and couldn’t harm each other, once they returned, the team contract would end. Little Lian’s trio were fine with it, as they were in a weak position compared to the two Serial Killers anyway. But between Grant and Qin Lun, wariness couldn’t be eliminated. Only by being alone in a teleportation room could they feel at ease.

The five teleportation rooms were not far apart. Within this range, it ensured they would be teleported into the same otherworldly dimension, though there might be some distance between them. For example, separated by a few houses or a few streets.

“Apostle Soul Mark has entered the Boundary Dimension. Spacetime teleportation complete…”

“The Apostle Soul Mark has been integrated into the body of a plot deceased and transformed into a Law Body! (The cost for this transformation is 2000 Shattered Crystals, to be settled upon return.)”

“The Law Body is beginning to synchronize with this world’s law data. All equipment items in the Storage Space comply with the World Law…”

“Current state of the Law Body: 100%.”

“Prompt: The mission execution time in this world is fifteen natural days. There are no special circumstances for extending the stay. You will be forcibly teleported out of this world after the stay duration ends. Please abide by the confidentiality regulations. Ensure you are not in combat state or under surveillance during teleportation; otherwise, you bear all consequences.”

“Prompt: The Shattered Starry Sky has incorporated the remaining memories of the plot deceased into the Death Notice. You can check the plot identity and remaining memory data in the Death Notice.”

“Prompt: This world is in semi Kill Mode, difficulty: Primary. Personal World Exploration Degree: None; World Essence Plunder: Zero.”

“Countdown to formal entry into this world: thirty seconds. Countdown begins: 30, 29, 28…”
