Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 891

Chapter 891: Chapter 288: Praise of Life, the Primordial Extraordinary Seed!

And the subsequent increases all come from the four cedar skills collected from Matthew Lee.

“Not far from the next level…”

Cheng Ye nodded slightly.

Upon reaching this level, ordinary information can no longer provide information growth, but his current strength is enough to support him in exploring higher-level skills and previously untouchable dangerous areas.

Even when encountering a mother-source infected body, he would not be captured without a fight but instead has the confidence for a direct confrontation.

Skipping basic information, Cheng Ye’s gaze fell on the spare skill bar.

There are survival skills, combat skills, and physical talents, among other things…

A multitude of skills was arranged in several rows, and the only four equipment slots seemed scarcely enough, forcing many practical skills to be temporarily set aside, waiting for a fusion opportunity.

And now, it was time to take this step and truly integrate the power of “all methods” within oneself.

Exiting the personal panel, Cheng Ye activated the skill fusion function.

With each class advancement, the charging value consumption for each fusion had dropped to 25%, and the full-charge status was enough to support four fusion operations.

The first to be fused were the four Lv4 cedar skills.

Except for the “Praise of Tenacity of Moyu Fir Tree” which had not yet been found, the other four were all innate talents.

Firstly, he chose to put “Cedar Adaptation” and “Cedar Rooting” into the fusion slot.

On the virtual panel, an ancient painting slowly unfolded.

Two towering Moyu fir trees appeared on either side of the scroll, their trunks straight like cast iron, piercing into the gray sky.

The bark wasn’t the rough texture of ordinary trees but seemed carved from a whole piece of black jade, exuding a warm yet hard, matte luster.

“Is this… a rune?”

Cheng Ye’s gaze fixated on the tree bark, where dense spiral patterns climbed from the base of the trunk upwards, gradually converging at the top into two distinctly different simple runes.

Much like the runes he had seen before, even though the structure of the cedar runes was simpler, any slight shift in his line of sight would cause the shape of the runes to vanish from his mind, as if erased by some forceful rule.

Beyond these two basic runes, the crown of the Moyu fir tree spread out like an umbrella, covering a large swath of the sky.

At the ends of the branches hung several black vines, dotted with jade-colored flower buds, the surface of which shimmered with a faint glow, seemingly holding life energy at its peak.

And these vines and flower buds intertwined to form a larger, more complex composite rune, subtly emanating a weighty aura connected to the earth.

“This power…”

Cheng Ye took a deep breath and pressed the fusion button.

With both being cedar-type talents, the fusion process was exceptionally smooth, with no energy conflicts arising.

[The information fusion process has been completed, fusion result stable]

[The Civilization Collector has successfully recorded a new fusion skill: Body of Cedar (Lv4; Perfect)]

“Huh, Adaptation and Rooting turned into body?”

Cheng Ye’s eyes moved slightly.

The panel did not prompt “Charging value can be inserted to trigger mutation,” indicating that this fusion had reached its optimum state with no need for extra consumption.

He did not pause and immediately placed the rare-level skill “Cedar Toughened Bark” into the fusion slot.

Perhaps due to the low rare level, the skill name and level did not change after fusion, merely enhancing the defense attribute on the existing basis.

Until the moment another rare-level skill “Cedar Engulfing Spirit” was placed…

The previously still Moyu fir tree on the scroll suddenly swayed violently, its manifested volume increasing by thirty percent out of nowhere, the trunk growing more robust and towering, and the runes on the bark glowing with a rich blue light.

The jade-colored flower buds’ glow suddenly intensified, the surface blue deepening, subtly evolving towards dark green, as if about to burst forth with the power containing the origin of life.

[The information fusion process has been completed, fusion result: Rare; Life Blessing]

[The Civilization Collector has successfully recorded a new fusion skill: Praise of Life of Moyu Fir Tree (Lv4; Rare)]

[Detected that the current charging value of the Collector can trigger the ‘random mutation’ mechanism, would you like to choose mutation?]

…

“Wow, four talents merged into a Life Blessing?”

Cheng Ye was greatly shocked and immediately chose to cancel the mutation.

Because Matthew Lee still had the uncollected “Praise of Tenacity,” which might just merge with this “Praise of Life,” generating even more potent effects.

After four consecutive fusions exhausted all charging value, Cheng Ye reinserted the pendant into the charging port before reopening the panel to check the fusion results.

This glance gave him an instant feeling of stepping into a new era.

[Praise of Life of Moyu Fir Tree (Lv4; Rare)]

[Description]: Rumored to be from an ordinary cedar of the old era, it was accidentally nourished by extraordinary energy, gradually turning to jade, awakening a series of incredible powers; unfortunately, its fruit does not grant humans extraordinary power, only its jadeized main trunk possesses special use, thus, once discovered by humans, the Moyu fir tree was cruelly cut down, its life severed completely; yet its roots perished, its soul remained, the residual spirit charm transforming into an invisible blessing, and any recipient of this gift shall awaken powers rivaling the extraordinary, inheriting its unyielding and indomitable will

[Current Blessing]: Praise of Life
