The next day.
Fang Xian, holding the "World Origin" that Rei Ayanami had extracted from "Unit Zero," began to slowly comprehend it according to her guidance.
With the help of his "heaven-defying comprehension" and some of Rei Ayanami's successful experiences, Fang Xian quickly grasped some of the intricacies.
He took out the "World Origin" of the Great Thousand World and began to attempt to integrate it. As he expected, the methods for mastering the two "World Origins" were basically similar.
Having reached this conclusion, he saw no need to keep the "World Origin" of the Science and Martial World and directly merged it into the "World Origin" of the Great Thousand World.
Fang slowly placed it into the trunk of a towering tree. The towering tree emitted a faint light and quickly absorbed the "World Origin" of the Science and Martial World into its trunk.
Soon afterward, the towering tree shone even brighter, its trunk became even thicker, and its branches blossomed with vibrant flowers, allowing everyone present to feel the breath of life.
Just then, all members of the entire Great Thousand World heard a world notification sound.
[Announcement, Announcement.]
[The "World Origin" of the Great Thousand World, merging with the Science and Martial World, has evolved.]
[The Great Thousand World will receive the following rewards:
1: Members of the Great Thousand World will receive "World Protection" when fighting on their home territory.
(World Protection: Within the Great Thousand World, all attributes will be increased by 60%, and healing skills will receive a 110% bonus.)
2: The Great Thousand World's "Luck" will increase, equipment drop rate will increase by 25%, equipment enhancement rate will increase by 15%, accidental death rate will decrease by 15%, and luck will increase by 8%.
3: "Divine Stone Mountain" will open once more every 6 years.]
4. All items on the "Genius Ranking" and "Supreme Ranking" will be permanently discounted by 20%.
5. The overall technology of the Great Thousand World will advance by 500 years.
6. New sub-professions "Gunner" and "Mech Pilot" will be added.
(Note: Sub-professions do not conflict with existing professions and can be learned.)
Rewards 1 to 4 are enhancements to the existing ones and are all quite useful.
The technological level of the Great Thousand World isn't actually that bad; it just hasn't developed a military industry.
This 500-year advancement will allow the Great Thousand World to manufacture high-tech weapons such as "Mechs" and "Gundams."
However, their performance will inevitably lag significantly behind that of the Science and Weapon World. But with the genius designer Xu Xin, Fang Xian believes it won't be long before he can create decent war-type firearms.
Furthermore, if he continues to win, based on the reward pattern of merging with the "World Origin," he might be able to advance the technology of the Great Thousand World by several thousand years.
At that time, its technological level will likely not be much worse than that of the Science and Weapon World.
As for the newly added sub-classes "Gunner" and "Mech Pilot," they indirectly enhance individual strength in the vast world.
"God-tier equipment" paired with "Mechs" or "Gundams" offers even more options.
Furthermore, it grants combat abilities to "Life Masters," "Summoners," "Contract Masters," and "Priests," who previously lacked combat skills.
It also significantly enhances the survivability of "Mages," "Archers," and "Warlocks."
Of course, the overall benefits for "Knights," "Warriors," and "Holy Swordsmen" will also be substantial.
However, due to the current limitations of the Great Thousand World's technological level, its assistance is not yet significant.
But at least there is hope.
With the completion of the fusion of the "World Origin," the war between the Great Thousand World and the Science and Martial World is declared over.
At this moment, a voice resounded in the minds of everyone in the Great Thousand World:
[Announcement, announcement.]
[Congratulations to the Great Thousand World for winning the second war and successfully advancing to a "Mid-Level World."
(Note: "Mid-Level Worlds" enjoy the special bonuses generated by the "World Origin," and the Great Thousand World's "Luck" also increases.)]
[The third war will be held in 12 months, and will be drawn from the "Mid-Level Worlds" and "Advanced Worlds." We hope everyone in the Great Thousand World will continue their efforts and strive for even better results.]
Suddenly, a strange feeling spread like ripples throughout the world.
An indescribable sense of sublimation rapidly spread, enveloping the entire Great Thousand World.
The sunlight seemed to become purer, each ray appearing as if cleansed, carrying a sacred and warm power as it pierced the air and bathed the earth.
The once verdant leaves of the trees shimmered with a crystalline luster under this light, as if each leaf contained boundless vitality and life.
Humans, under the baptism of this wondrous power, underwent a profound transformation.
Bones became stronger, muscle fibers thicker and more elastic, and strength and speed were enhanced.
The brain's potential seemed to be unlocked, and thought became much more agile.
The dark magic that the demon race had always relied on also changed during the world's ascension.
They could control a purer and more powerful dark force.
The angels, as if receiving an extraordinary sacred baptism, saw their power of light greatly increased and purified.
Previous impurities and limitations became purer and more pristine in this ascension, containing endless light and wisdom.
Similarly, other races underwent the same transformation; with the world's ascension, they all experienced tremendous changes.
Fang Xian also felt these changes, and his heart and soul felt very comfortable.
This was the sublimation brought about by advancing to a "Mid-Level World."
The Great Thousand World not only advanced to a "Mid-Level World," but also gained a 12-month buffer period, giving it more time to strengthen its overall power.
As for the third war, whether facing an "Mid-Level World" or an "Advanced World," he would be more confident.
Fang Xian took out an "Attribute Enhancement Agent" and began using it to quickly increase his strength.
...
More than ten days later.
Fang Xian consumed all 758,000 bottles of "Attribute Enhancement Agents," dividing them equally into six portions for stat allocation.
He opened his attribute panel:
