Infinite Mask Game.

The advancement to the Seven Heavens is mysterious and profound, determined by either potential or destiny.

These benefits are rare and involve high-level conflicts. Although Wei Miao's strength is currently low and she rarely comes into contact with these levels of struggle, it's always good to take precautions.

The original "overclocking spirit" has been transformed into "first level spirit," which has the added effect of solidifying self-awareness.

The Second Heaven provides protection regarding destiny. Interestingly, the statement that "the trajectory of fate is independent of the plane and is not interfered with by the will of the plane" sounds difficult to understand.

The entry provides generous knowledge.

After the world's will selects the chosen one, it may sometimes assist the chosen one in growing and acting better by influencing the destinies of others. This may manifest as a decrease in intelligence, coincidences of fate, or a misstep in a strategic move.

This is why no matter how powerful the villain, they will always be defeated by the protagonist. Their fates are manipulated by the will of the world; essentially, they are performing a heroic drama according to a predetermined script.

The power of fate is so great that, as a creation of the world, one's fate is naturally governed by the Creator.

The Second Heaven allows Wei Miao to exist independently outside the world's destiny. In other words, she is a variable in the script of fate, unable to be incorporated into the story, yet capable of influencing the plot.

At that time, the world's will can only indirectly influence her actions by affecting the fates of others around her, and cannot give her subconscious hints or fluctuate her fortune.

Wei Miao can act as she pleases without worrying about being guided by unseen forces. Of course, this only gives her the qualification to disrupt the threads of fate; whether she can alter the main storyline set by the world depends on her strength.

If facing the protagonist, with her destiny independent, the world can only influence the protagonist's fate. If Wei Miao is powerful enough, it's not impossible for her to kill the protagonist right under the world's nose.

Incidentally, in the breakthrough instance, Zhou Fan was ultimately able to successfully seize Xie Jingming's destiny because Xie Jingming had already completed his historical mission, pushing the major event to its final stage and bringing out all the key figures.

The world has chosen Zhou Fan as the protagonist of the next historical phase, to stir up a new wave of events.

Zhou Fan was a descendant of the Great Xuan Dynasty. His family was destroyed when he was young, and he was reduced from royalty to commoner. He had to carefully hide himself and was mocked by fate.

He believed that he was able to steal the destiny of the chosen one entirely through his own intelligence and Cao Hai's control over fate.

In reality, they had never escaped the clutches of the world's will. The world accommodated his plan, conveniently transferring its fortune to him. Zhou Fan was still smug, completely unaware that from the moment he received the fortune, he had become the world's puppet.

Zhou Fan and the will of the world are perfectly in sync. I wonder if, when he finally meets his tragic end, Zhou Fan will realize that he was actually a toy of fate, thinking that he controlled fate, but in fact fate controlled him.

When Wei Miao watched the ending CG, she didn't understand this point and thought that Zhou Fan had successfully risen to power through his own abilities.

Only now, after receiving information about the Second Heaven, have they come to realize the truth behind Zhou Fan's usurpation of the protagonist's position.

The other effects of the second level are relatively easy to understand.

Completing side quests also provides the opportunity to advance your chosen vocabulary.

Wei Miao doesn't have many stats right now. Aside from the already upgraded [Cross-shaped Double Pupils] and [Seven Heavens], there's also [Blood of Sin], which she obtained in the last ranked match.

She could also designate the first two to continue improving, but since the number of keyword slots is limited, it would be best if every valuable keyword could achieve significant development.

【Blood of Sin】 has good potential and is primarily a support character. There's a saying in the gaming world, "Supports are permanent, carries come and go," highlighting the importance and value of support characters. After a moment's thought, Wei Miao chose 【Blood of Sin】.

[Do you confirm designating "Blood of Sin" as the promotion modifier?]

A routine questioning before making important decisions in the game.

Wei Miao: "Yes."

[The "Blood of Sin" has been promoted! Players are requested to check!]

Blood of Sin

Location: Blood

Additional skills:

1. Cold-Blooded Curse (Passive): Your blood temperature never exceeds 20 degrees Celsius. A venomous curse flows in your blood, increasing your resistance to curse-type spells. You can imbue your enemies with the curse properties of your blood, causing them to undergo a multi-dimensional resistance assessment. Depending on the assessment result, they will fall into a Level I/II/III weakened state, reducing their all-around resistance by 5%/10%/15%.

2. Lamb's Lament (Passive): Increases damage dealt to enemies by 10% and has a 50% chance to trigger a continuous bleeding effect.

3. The Ominous Sign of Gluttony (Passive): Your body can store additional energy in your blood for use when energy is insufficient. You can store up to one type of energy (to be selected). The storage amount is 0.5 times the maximum capacity of that type of energy.

Commentary: "All beings are sinful, yet they condemn me for my sin. I laugh maniacally at the bottom of the abyss. I do not believe the world has the right to judge my sins. The birth of sin essentially depends on the conflict of interests; any affirmation of it is a joke. When I overturn everything, tear off the heads of the gods, and ascend to the highest place, sin and righteousness will dramatically reverse. At this moment, I declare: All beings are sinful!" — Fenrir, Ragnarok
The only additional skill to [Blood of Sin] is that it adds half a mana bar.

The stored energy should definitely be the power of eternal night, so that Wei Miao can expend it with more confidence.

The power of Eternal Night has a high energy level and strong characteristics, which has made great contributions to her battles during this period.

Furthermore, in "Cold-Blooded Curse," where blood was originally required to stain the enemy to reduce resistance, it can now be directly attached to energy, integrating the synergy with the power of eternal night into the skill, but with greater applicability.

Wei Miao got up from the luxurious wooden chair and walked to the clothes rack.

A new garment was hanging on a brown wooden clothes rack.

The sapphire blue satin robe was pristine, adorned with a majestic and noble four-clawed golden python coiled upon it. The collar and hem were embroidered with dark blue coiled dragon patterns, their shades shifting with the changing light. Black leather wrist guards bound the cuffs, their dark gold scales subtly visible beneath.

The outer garment was a stand-up collar cloak with double-layered, dark-colored shoulder armor. The lower layer of shoulder armor was edged with cloud and thunder patterns, while python patterns dominated, all outlined in gold thread. The satin surface of the black cloak was decorated with magnificent dark gray patterns.

It was none other than Pei Wenwei's attire—the magnificent official robes of the Imperial Censor and Director of Ceremonies. From a tailor's perspective, they were exquisitely crafted, with an abundance of fabric.

More precious than any luxury brand in any shopping mall, it truly symbolizes the magnificent power above all others.

Although Pei Wenwei planned to step down at the end, his signature outfit was ultimately preserved as a fashion piece for Wei Miao. (End of Chapter)
