Chapter 209: Allocating Echoes
Four rules lay before him.
Only the first rule, entwined with calamity energy, appeared black.
Tomorrow waved her hand, and one hundred echoes poured in, washing over this rule with ten times the total amount, restoring it to normal.
The number marked on the back of the first rule in the Rebirth Book jumped from 0 to 10.
Unlike the other rules, this rule only had the effect of binding the Moon Ring; eliminating calamity meant achieving its complete form.
Yun Ye’s attention shifted to the second rule: the upgrade panel.
This mechanism allowed Spiritual Law masters to grow quickly.
In his third life, he needed too much experience to level up and had only reached level ten, but it was undeniable that this mechanism had miraculous effects on cultivation, allowing for instant advancement to the next realm.
And this was just the upgrade panel for 18 echoes, with immense potential for growth!
Yun Ye waved his hand, and the second rule leaped from 18 echoes directly to 1000 echoes.
The main effect of this rule was that for every monster killed, he could absorb a portion of the monster’s power to strengthen himself. Once the echoes reached 1000, it had taken shape.
Originally limited to Dao Artifact wielders, this rule spread to encompass all within the Dao Artifact’s range. The stronger the recognition of the path of tomorrow among its followers, the stronger their belief in killing monsters to protect the people, the greater the chance to receive the upgrade panel.
The level cap for the upgrade panel increased to level 50, and the experience required for leveling up significantly reduced, making it unnecessary to kill chaotic-level monsters just to reach level ten.
Moreover, for every ten levels, the number of skill points gained from leveling up would increase by one.
From levels 1 to 10, there would be 1 skill point for each level.
From levels 11 to 20, there would be 2 skill points for each level.
And so on.
With a level cap of 50, this equated to 150 skill points, greatly aiding in enhancing strength.
For instance, the difficulty in mastering Combination Spiritual Law could be forcefully improved using skill points.
"Master, most of the power from these one thousand echoes is used to solve the problem of spreading to more people."
"If we continue to enhance, we can reduce the experience required for leveling up, increase the number of skill points, and add other effects, such as improving physique or law realms; Tomorrow can provide accurate numbers for any improvement."
Tomorrow had evolved; she could now see how many echoes the rules needed.
“For the first question, how many echoes do we need to individually increase one skill point for the first ten levels, and how many echoes for increasing one skill point for all levels together?”
"To increase the first ten levels individually requires one hundred echoes, while for all levels together, it requires two hundred echoes."
Yun Ye was immediately surprised. "Why is the increase for all levels so small? A fivefold difference in skill points only translates to a twofold difference in echoes?"
"Um…" Tomorrow thought for a moment. "It’s because leveling up the first ten levels requires very little experience, so the cost of adding a skill point is high, but as you progress, the experience gained increases, making it easier to add corresponding skill points."
“How is the leveling experience calculated?” Yun Ye asked.
"After reorganization, all upgrade panels start from level 0, with level experience as 10, 20, 30… 100, 200, 300… 1000, 2000, 3000."
The rules for experience growth were simple: every ten levels represented a step up, with level 1 at 10, level 11 at 100, level 21 at 1000, and so on.
Following this formula, the required experience for later levels was a staggering number, and the number of skill points simply could not match.
"The experience provided by monsters of different realms also follows this rule; killing powerful monsters grants far more experience than defeating countless weaker ones."
Tomorrow spoke.
This rule is also used to protect people, so the greater the threat, the more experience it provides.
However, simply killing some ordinary monsters to gain a lot of benefits requires pouring in massive echoes.
Yun Ye nodded, "For the first stage, 2 skill points per level is enough; the rest can go to higher levels. How many can we add with one thousand echoes?"
"First stage is 2 points, second stage is 4 points, third stage is 6 points, fourth stage is 8 points, and fifth stage is 10 points, giving a total of 150 skill points, making it 300 skill points in all," Tomorrow answered.
"That’s quite a lot; 300 skill points should be roughly enough. Let’s do it this way and allocate the echoes."
Tomorrow nodded and allocated another thousand echoes to the Second Rule.
"We have enough skill points; next is the versatility of the panel."
"It must be within the range of the Dao Artifact to be effective, which is a very high requirement."
Currently, the Dao Artifact has 15,000 echoes, giving a radius of 15 kilometers, which is 7.5 kilometers.
This distance cannot be considered short; it is completely inadequate.
Due to the rule’s decay, even if the Tomorrow Society borrows the Second Rule, they cannot reach Yun Ye’s range. According to Tomorrow, borrowing 20% of the power is only possible because these Dao Artifacts are direct Dao Artifacts…
Only Dao Artifacts awakened directly by Yun Ye are considered direct Dao Artifacts and can borrow 20% of the rule’s effect.
The other Dao Artifact wielders can only barely use the Second Rule for themselves, making it unrealistic for others.
“Tomorrow, how far can I enhance the Second Rule with 1000 echoes?”
“A diameter of ten kilometers,” Tomorrow said.
"In other words, the effect of a separate enhancement is ten times that of an overall enhancement? I still have seven thousand echoes left… If that’s the case, I’ll invest two thousand to increase the radius to a diameter of thirty kilometers."
"Okay!"
Tomorrow nodded and modified the rule.
The four rows of text surrounding the Dao Artifact changed, adding explanations.
Yun Ye and Tomorrow shared their thoughts and participated in the modifications, quickly fixing various unreasonable aspects.
For instance, it originally started from level 1; now it starts from level 0.
The previous panel called it the Upgrade Panel, but now it was renamed to a more fitting title for the cultivation background: the Merit Panel.
『Merit Panel』
『Name: Yun Ye.』
『Virtue: Level 0/50.』
『Merit: 0/10 (ordinary monsters provide at least 1 point of merit).』
『Spiritual Law: stage in spirituality · late third stage, Three Mystical True Fire Method (not entered/major achievement), Mist Rain Symbol Walking Law (not entered/beginner level).』
『Physical Law: stage in life · early first stage, Life Soul Refinement Walking Law (not entered/beginner level).』
『Spirit Law: stage in divinity · mid first stage, Heavy Reunification Spirit Law (not entered/beginner level).』
『Techniques: Imagining Method (not entered/perfect proficiency), All Things Silent (major achievement), Eternal Silence (beginner level), Essence of Fire: Chaos (beginner level)…』
『Source Law: Silent Source Law · yellow low grade (not entered/beginner level).』
『Merit Creation Points: 0.』
"The panel style is pretty much done."
Yun Ye nodded in satisfaction.
After localization, it became much simpler to understand.
However, there was currently very little information about the law realms, so Yun Ye did not include it, planning to optimize and modify the panel once more information became available in the future.
But this was not the end.
Yun Ye used the echoes to add several supplementary rules to the panel; these rules were directly integrated into the Second Rule, without adding extra rule counts.
Having completed all this, Yun Ye still had three thousand echoes left, which he dedicated entirely to the Third Rule to significantly enhance the internal confidentiality of the Tomorrow Society.
Any active or passive disclosure of secrets would be bound by the rules of the Dao Artifact, ignoring distance.
Ignoring distance was the most crucial point; the effectiveness was secondary.
Due to the equal responsibility and rights, the constraints formed by the three thousand echoes were already quite strong, and generally, only by achieving the law realms could it be counteracted, and it had to be his own achievement, without help or sacrifice from the Tomorrow Society.
With this level of constraint, the possibility of the Tomorrow Society being destroyed from leaked secrets would significantly decrease.
It was worth it!
