Chapter 491: Origin Era · Ancient Great World
Probably seeing the questioning look in Mercenary Tao's eyes, Jaki didn't hide anything. After all, Mercenary Tao could always find out about this kind of thing. Moreover, based on a Knight's self-demands, he didn't like to deceive.
"Don't overthink it. Naturally, it's impossible for the so-called [Ten Vicious Precious Techniques] to be recorded on a carrier of this quality. Furthermore, an item of that level is something everyone fights over even in the Origin World. It's impossible for me to get it to trade for Duke's relics with you."
Jaki said this calmly. He neither lied nor pretended. If he really obtained an ability at the level of the Ten Vicious Precious Techniques, he felt that with his mental cultivation, he probably wouldn't be able to control himself and wouldn't use it to exchange for Duke's relics—even though Duke was his best friend.
"This [Ten Phoenixes Nirvana Technique] is a special ability produced in the [Origin Era · Ancient Great World]. It's a fake fabricated by a Great Existence imitating the [Hundred Days Ten Phoenixes Nirvana Technique] from the [True Phoenix Precious Technique]."
"If you've come into contact with information about Origin Worlds, you should know that in that kind of world, current Reincarnators can't be considered very powerful. But just like novice Reincarnators can also survive and obtain rewards in mission worlds, top-tier Reincarnators naturally can also obtain some unimaginably precious treasures in Origin Worlds."
"But even if it's a treasure that can only simulate a ten-thousandth or two of the true essence under harsh conditions, to you and me, it's still a precious treasure, isn't it?"
Jaki didn't exaggerate the value of his item, and at the same time, indirectly revealed some information about the Origin Worlds that top-tier Reincarnators enter.
Kaito Shirogane had already experienced [Derivative Worlds] and [Secondary Worlds]. Now he finally understood what kind of places top-tier Reincarnators would ultimately be deployed to.
Origin Era · Ancient Great World... In other words, there was also more than one Origin World. If the Ancient Great World existed, naturally others could exist as well.
But what was identical was that the power level of these Origin Worlds was probably terrifyingly high. At the same time, the structural strength of the world itself was high enough to accommodate some unimaginable existences acting arbitrarily.
"Since it's not the True Phoenix Precious Technique itself, and I don't have True Phoenix essence blood, what use is this thing to me?"
Kaito's expression seemed to return to calmness. He was fanatical about power. The power levels in various web novel worlds that easily broke through multiversal limits naturally fascinated him. But also precisely because that realm was too far away.
Current Reincarnators were far from touching it. Even the rumored most mysterious [Supreme Three Kings], Kaito didn't believe they had reached that level yet.
He increasingly understood the special nature of the Reincarnator group.
Reincarnators were an unimaginably short-lived species with an astonishingly high elimination rate. Probably only with the massive human population on Earth today could Reincarnators be supplied to replace generations like this.
But this extremely low survival rate and extremely short life cycle also forged a growth potential for the Reincarnator group that far exceeded any race.
Yes, Kaito now believed that [Reincarnators] could be considered a new race. Different from other races formed based on bloodline, cultural cognition, etc., Reincarnators relied on special [Information].
Reincarnators utilized the high-dimensional power form of [Information] to achieve growth in a form far more efficient than internal force, battle aura, magic power, or any other energy. One month of time in the real dimension was enough for an ordinary person to grow into an extraordinary creature capable of destroying a city alone.
Compared to the growth periods of gods, dragon species, etc., in various legends and stories, which easily took tens of thousands of years, the growth rate of Reincarnators was so fast that those extraordinary species couldn't understand it.
Under this special mode, the number of the Reincarnator group and Reincarnators of various tiers in the Infinite Dimensional Space, as well as the strength of high-tier Reincarnators, were constantly changing.
Reincarnators lived towards death. As long as they survived continuously, their power was definitely growing rapidly.
Kaito himself might be growing stronger at a speed exceeding normal Reincarnators, but others wouldn't stand still either.
An ordinary Reincarnator from two months ago, if he didn't die two months later, he definitely became stronger. Whether through purchasing items, abilities, cultivating specializations, or adding attribute points, Reincarnators unable to keep up with the speed of improvement would be eliminated.
But even so, the overall strength hierarchy among Reincarnators would still gradually stabilize with the increase in the number of missions.
The strong get stronger; the weak remain weak.
Converted into easier-to-understand terms, the strength gap between the top-tier Reincarnators and novice Reincarnators was constantly widening, but top-tier Reincarnators ultimately still belonged to one echelon.
The [Supreme Three Kings] were mysterious, with very little information revealed, like true kings ruling the order of the Infinite Dimensional Space and the real world behind the dark curtain.
Based on various examples nowadays, these three were probably indeed one level stronger than the [Supremes], who had slight changes every cycle.
But in Kaito's view, it should also be limited to this. Being both top-tier Reincarnators, the gap couldn't be so large as to completely cross tiers. For example, if one was at the surface level, the other would at most be at the planetary level, impossible to rise to the universal level. Otherwise, the latter could completely and arbitrarily dominate the former, and the order and structure shouldn't be what they are today.
The top-tier Reincarnators basically possessed top-tier qualities, whether in physical talent or in mental and resourceful talent. Being able to constantly survive and grow up in cruel Reincarnation Missions, a chasm-like gap wouldn't exist.
Unless... someone is not a Reincarnator of this generation...
Kaito's mind worked very fast. He expressed displeasure on the surface, but didn't refuse the transaction either.
Jaki didn't deny it, merely saying:
"You have immortality, right? Although I don't know what bloodline you strengthened, information brokers in the Space circulate information that you possess immortality and regeneration abilities. You just need to find a way to strengthen your immortality to high-tier immortality, and you can similarly use this ability to massively strengthen your foundation."
"For the various abilities and items in the Infinite Dimensional Space, there will always be someone who thinks of better combination methods."
Jaki had no reaction to Mercenary Tao pretending to deny and then taking the opportunity to raise the price. Looking at this transaction in the short term, Mercenary Tao might indeed not be considered to be profiting. But in the long term, probably not many people could refuse his transaction.
No matter how much of a fake or pseudo-precious technique the [Ten Phoenixes Nirvana Technique] was, it was still an ability created by imitating the [Ten Vicious Precious Techniques]. If it could truly be cultivated stably, its grade must be terrifyingly high.
The high threshold for cultivation and the uncertainty of the effect were the only factors limiting the value of this thing.
But he knew very well the thoughts of top-tier Reincarnators in the Space. They would rather it have no effect than miss it.
This kind of thing, as long as it successfully took effect, was bound to be the foundation for a Reincarnator to advance towards the Supreme tier.
"Hey, hey, Jaki. If you have any good stuff, you can also bring me to participate in the transaction. How about your big bro helps you raise the price?"
A rough voice. A bald man with a robust figure, a black tattoo on his back extending all the way from his neck to the back of his head.
He had a battleaxe tucked at his waist. It was uncertain whether it was an ornament on his avatar, or if the other party's fighting style was using this kind of weapon.
Kaito also had an impression of this person. He was a Title Level expert, [Demon Barbarian · Socthacht]. He was highly likely a Southeast Asian, but some information brokers believed he was originally an Eastern Xia person, just deliberately disguising himself as someone from another country. The reason was that the codename Socthacht sounded very much like a codename formed by combining common names from two countries.
This person dragged a large special skeleton in his hand. Looking at its shape, it seemed to be a huge crocodile.
"Mercenary Tao, I'm very interested in the Op-Op Fruit of that bitch Lingxin. I heard you plan to strengthen a dragon-type bloodline. I think you'll be interested in this thing."
Socthacht raised his hand, and information was displayed in front of Kaito.
[Reincarnator AX50007434 showed you Material: Alligator Dragon Skeleton (Unparalleled Rare)]
"Oh? Where did you hear that I'm going to strengthen a dragon-type bloodline?"
Kaito's eyes were dangerous. He detected a hint of undercurrent surging in the Space. It seemed someone was deliberately spreading his intelligence...
