Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 3 Planning
Before formulating a feasible plan, Luo Xiu conducted further analysis of the crisis.

Luo Xiu was not familiar with "Dawn Town", the predecessor of Dusk Town, but he was quite familiar with "Blood of Thorns".

This group of cultists are known as the "top 3 enemies that are most likely to discourage newbies" and "the torture king"!

This group of enemies who believed in the destiny of [Red Lotus] and had not yet advanced to the extraordinary destiny of [Glory] posed limited threat to them.

With some preparation, Luo Xiu would have the chance to kill a blood disciple with the second destiny of [Red Lotus].

However, [Abyss] can make them all go without return!
This is an extraordinary power that has not yet appeared in the "Apocalypse World" of Fanor Continent!
At this time, no one has seen or understood the power of the Abyss!

Luo Xiu already had a clear plan.

Originally, as a believer of [Glory], it is impossible to embark on the fate of [Abyss] at the same time, but for Luo Xiu who possesses both "The Holy Book of the Abyss" and "The Heart of Revelation", this is a natural thing.

Combining the power of [Glory] and [Abyss] is the cornerstone of Luo Xiu's plan. He will build his own extraordinary route bit by bit.

……

After preparing all the materials, Luo Xiu pulled out the Book of Abyss from the pile of books and stroked the black cover which was somewhat stained with sand.

With the "Holy Book of the Abyss" in hand, he might be the only human being in the world who has mastered the complete destiny of the "Abyss" so far.

——The strong ones who truly follow the fate of the abyss, those demons and the descendants of the abyss, are still sealed at the bottom of the seven layers of the abyss.

The only surface tribe of the Abyss Clan - the Ghost Clan - are still fighting each other on the isolated Scarlet Continent, which can be described as a Warring States in another world.

Therefore, Luo Xiu was not worried about being exposed.

There are no similar people in the Fanor continent where he is currently.

However, Luo Xiu was not completely at ease, he was also thinking about other issues.

For example, the "uniqueness" of the Abyss Book... Is there another "Holy Book of the Abyss" enshrined at the "bottom of the sevenfold abyss" at this time?
If not, what would the abyss look like if it lost the source of power...

These questions emerged and lingered in Luo Xiu's mind, but Luo Xiu didn't know the answers to them, so he simply didn't think too much about them and put his attention back on the "Holy Book of the Abyss".

To continue reading the Book of Abyss and learn the forbidden knowledge of [Abyss], Luo Xiu needs to further enhance his "divinity".

To be on the safe side, Luo Xiu must first raise his "divinity" attribute to 13 points.

Before leaving the Glorious Church, Luo Xiu had tried to flip through the Book of Abyss. The divinity points required to read the first two pages were 8 and 10 respectively.

This is a gamble, betting that the divinity requirement value on the third page is 12.

Only when the required attributes are exceeded can the judgment be passed stably. If the bet is lost, it will be mentally polluted...

However, if he was unlucky enough to be mentally contaminated, Luo Xiu felt that he could get through it if his own attributes were not much different from the required attributes...

Luo Xiu just took this opportunity to test whether his player panel had some normal functions.

Luo Xiu stood up, his brows lowered, and his hands placed lightly in front of his chest in the shape of a right triangle.

"His name is the Forged Sun, His birth is glorious, His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom..."

Luo Xiu whispered softly, and his body began to emit a warm pale white light. In the center of the triangular tower formed by his fingers, a ball of sacred golden light mist slowly condensed.

After a long time.

[You completed "Basic Prayer (lv.1)" once]

[Gain the "Prayer" effect, and increase the "Glorious" destiny skill effect by 20%]

[Primary Prayer (lv.1) skill proficiency +1, you gain 36 basic experience points]

As expected! Luo Xiu was delighted.

Unlike NPCs, players have various ways to gain experience.

Among them, "using skills" to gain proficiency and experience points is one of the unique ways for players to gain experience.

Luo Xiu continued to pray.

"His name is the Forged Sun, His birth is glorious, His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom..."

"..."

[You completed a "Basic Prayer" (lv.1)]

[Gain the "Prayer" effect, and increase the "Glorious" destiny skill effect by 20%]

[Effect is repeated and has been covered]

[Primary Prayer (lv.1) skill proficiency +1, you gain 30 basic experience points]

Each use of a skill consumes mana and grants diminishing amounts of experience.

"..."

[Current main occupation: Apprentice Priest (lv.1) can be upgraded to lv.2]

[Do you want to upgrade? (Automatic prompt can be turned off)]

After three rounds of prayer, he gained a total of more than one hundred experience points. At this time, Luo Xiu's magic bars were empty, but he also successfully reached the threshold of upgrading to lv.2.

"Confirmed." Luo Xiu gave instructions in his mind. [Current main occupation "Apprentice Priest" invests 102 experience points]

[Current main occupation: "Apprentice Priest" has been upgraded to lv.2! ]

【Gain 1 free attributes! 】

Luo Xiu immediately upgraded his career level to lv.2 and added this one free attribute to "divinity".

The sum of the occupation levels of the highest destiny is the value of the character level.

At the first stage of destiny, each time you increase your character level, you will gain one free attribute point, and you can freely add points to the seven basic attributes.

Divinity points +1, Luo Xiu felt a group of figures with flowing light and shadow faintly emerging in his mind.

Luo Xiu seemed to be able to feel an unintentional glance from the gods. The feeling was very faint and insignificant, and disappeared suddenly.

Only after adding the "divinity" attribute to 13 points did Luo Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

With the +1 divinity obtained through the [Glory] prayer, Luo Xiu immediately threw himself into the arms of the [Abyss] and opened the "Holy Book of the Abyss"!
"This, isn't this also a kind of husband-in-law..." Luo Xiu shook his head.

The moment he opened the Book of the Abyss, a strange surge, like the whisper of a soul, attacked Luo Xiu's mind.

He opened the first page of the "Book of the Abyss" and performed another divinity test as before.

[You looked directly at the taboo]

The bewitching voice once again lingered in his ears, but having learned from the experience of almost getting lost last time, Luo Xiu tried hard to maintain his composure and not be shaken by the bewitching voice of the abyss.

[Triggers the "divinity" immunity determination, the minimum divinity requirement is "8", and your divinity is "13"...]

[Immunity successful, immune to this mental pollution]

The strange whispers of souls gradually faded away, and part of the forbidden knowledge of the "Abyss" appeared in front of Luo Xiu.

It was an indescribable purple pattern, wriggling slowly and slightly on the yellowed paper. It might be some kind of ancient writing, or it might just be some kind of pattern with a recording function.

At the same time, the prompt panel for unlocking new extraordinary skills appeared in Luo Xiu's field of vision.

[Abyssal Skills: Abyssal Inscription (lv.1, to be learned)]

"Study." Luo Xiu gave instructions in his mind.

[Learned: Abyssal Inscription (lv.1)]

[Obtain secondary occupation: Abyss Servant (lv.1)]

Luo Xiu felt that his head suddenly became dizzy, and a cold air seemed to run through his body.

After forcing himself to calm down and put himself in a relatively quiet and clear state, Luo Xiu began to feel the changes in himself.

Luo Xiu could feel that his soul seemed to resonate with something.

It was a seven-pointed star-shaped pattern, emitting a dark and deep black light, engraved on the soul like a brand.

Continuing to look at the second page of the "Book of Abyss", the prompt that the exemption check passed also popped up.

[You looked directly at the taboo]

[Triggers the "divinity" immunity determination, the minimum divinity requirement is "10", and your divinity is "13"...]

[Immunity successful, immune to this mental pollution]

[Abyssal Skills: Soul Manipulator (lv.1, to be learned)]

"Learn." Luo Xiu continued to give new instructions in his mind.

The newly acquired abyss skills appeared in Luo Xiu's "Character Panel - Destiny Skills" column as if copied.

"Soul Manipulator" is the skill of controlling the soul. It is an extraordinary skill that all destinies will come into contact with, but the emphasis is on different functions, development and evolution.

In the skill tree of [Abyss] Fate, the "Soul Manipulator" can manipulate souls for various purposes, such as creating familiars, performing sacrifices, fusing to produce higher-level souls, etc...

The success rate is related to the strength of the soul being controlled and the strength of the extraordinary person himself.

Luo Xiu's eyes were deep, and his fingers were stroking the corner of the page of the Abyss Book.

As if he had made some kind of decision, Luo Xiu turned over a new page.

[You looked directly at the taboo]

[Triggers the "divinity" immunity determination, the minimum divinity requirement is "12", and your divinity is "13"...]

[Immunity successful, immune to this mental pollution]

[Abyssal Skills: Summoning Abyssal Beasts (lv.1, to be learned)]

“…The bet was right!”

Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened the moment the prompt popped up.

"This is it!"
