For example, the "Armed Vehicles" feature of the Challenger System is already in integration.
Other features are currently being planned such as the All-Purpose Automatic Cultivation System, Skill Guidance System, Pet System, and so on.
However, the creation of these features requires a massive expenditure of sacrificial power and also some technical support, with parts of the content relying on players to explore and collect.
For instance, the All-Purpose Automatic Cultivation System requires a special organ that can perfectly match all cultivation methods.
Additionally, an automatic operating program must be added to this organ, driven by the burning of sacrificial power by players, to keep it constantly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, providing continuous Body Refining Experience amplification to the players.
This setting can significantly speed up the players’ Body Refining Level advancement, thus accelerating their growth rate.
In the future, advancing Body Refining Levels will become very difficult, with every 10 levels presenting a bottleneck, and the sacrificial power required afterwards will increase manyfold.
Without an automatic cultivation method to speed up growth, players wanting to combine dozens of Life Souls with Star Vein Combinations will be severely limited by the pace of Body Refining Level advancement.
However, Qi Sheng is currently helpless in implementing this function.
After consulting Jiuyin, who controls Purification Power, it was learned that creating an automatic cultivation system without a reference template would require a massive amount of sacrificial power.
With the current sacrificial power output of players, it is simply not enough to sustain.
Therefore, many conceptual settings are still at the idea stage.
At this stage, the consumption of sacrificial power must also prioritize player recruitment, Domain segmentation, special events, and such content.
All new features must be built based on whether the current sacrificial power output of players is sufficient.
Colorful Mist Coast, Great Yan Clan Land.
At the crack of dawn, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng were already awake.
Standing in front of an old house worshiping gods, they began their stretching exercises, mentally prepared for Old Deng’s new round of torment.
In these days of asceticism, they had cultivated the Suffering Soul bestowed by Old Deng to Level 12, rapidly increasing their strength.
Next was their Body Refining Level, which, under the financial infusion accumulated by Old Deng, had both reached Level 5, advancing at a rocket-like speed.
The only downside was the process was extremely painful.
After a set of stretching exercises, Xia Sheng muttered in puzzlement:
"Eh, why hasn’t Old Deng come yet?"
"Could he have overslept?" Jiang Cheng took a bite of the Spirit Fruit pulled out from the Space Bag and chewed as he speculated.
"That’s impossible, do you really think Old Deng disappears just to sleep? He can stay awake for days... Could something have happened?"
Thinking this, the two exchanged glances and then decisively ran to the dilapidated house nearby.
Though they called out for Old Deng with their mouths, through these days’ interactions, they could feel the care and attention Asceticism had for them. He did not hesitate to spend accumulated resources on them, which made them grow fond of Asceticism.
Considering Asceticism’s increasingly weak state these days, they had a bad feeling.
Perhaps Old Deng didn’t make it through the night, never to wake up.
Pushing open the old wooden door, they saw Asceticism sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed, his complexion deathly pale.
Analyzing the feedback, it was clear that Asceticism was in an extremely Weak State.
This made Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng feel a sense of foreboding.
Old Deng’s condition had worsened, and if it continued in this state, he might not last much longer.
As they entered the room, Asceticism opened his eyes.
"Old Deng, your condition has worsened," Xia Sheng said with a worried expression as he approached the wooden bed.
Asceticism did not reply but reached down and unfastened a dark green wristband from his left wrist:
"There’s not much time left for me; these are the cultivation resources I’ve accumulated. Now I give them all to you... However, there’s not much left inside; these days it’s mostly been spent on your cultivation, but what remains can still aid your cultivation for a few more days."
Hearing this, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng felt a pang in their hearts.
They were well aware of Old Deng’s condition, already nearing his end.
While they would jokingly say that they would inherit everything after Old Deng’s passing,
When it truly came to that moment, they felt an immense sense of loss.
"Old Deng, how much longer can you last?" Xia Sheng didn’t accept the wristband, asking with a complex expression.
"At most seven more days; then my Life Fire will burn out... But before my life extinguishes, I have one last thing to do."
"Old Deng, tell us what it is, and we will go do it for you."
Hearing this, Asceticism’s wrinkled face formed a smile, then shook his head:
"I must do this myself; you are my successors and should not risk this with me."
Realizing that Asceticism intended to fight the Evil Spirit in his final moments, Xia Sheng immediately said:
"Old Deng, you rest; we will go kill the Evil Spirit."
"A ship is built for sailing, not for docking. I created the Touch of Pain to fend off the invasion of the Evil Spirit. My life is nearing its end, but I have never sailed through storms with it. Now, I want to try steering this old ship that’s about to sink, doing my best to dispel the Evil Spirit and clear a piece of darkness from our ancestral world."
During this discussion, Asceticism’s aura began to rise incrementally.
His Qi-Blood started surging fiercely, as if preparing for one last fight.
Seeing this scene, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng remained silent.
They knew that at this moment, no protests could change Asceticism’s inevitable fate; rather, they should let him have his way, allowing him in his final moments to use his own creation, the "Touch of Pain," and fight a gratifying battle.
