Chapter 455 Self-Sacrifice for Others
"Become a permanent slime."

Li Cunxu added another sentence.

The sea shark whale transformed into a soft and adorable blue slime.

Li Cunxu asked expectantly, "Can it be branded with the mark of a subject?"

Xiao Ruan shook her head.

Li Cunxu was somewhat disappointed, thinking that his idea could be realized, but it seemed that he had been overthinking it.

Xiao Ruan said, "The conditions haven't been met. I haven't defeated it yet, so I can't brand the subject's mark."

"Oh, right. Either you defeat the opponent or they submit willingly, in order to be branded as a subject."

Although the Sea Shark Whale was stunned by the aura released by Little Soft, it had not yet permanently become a slime before being stunned, and therefore did not meet the conditions for branding its subjects.

Li Cunxu used his mental power to create a net and scooped out the slime that the sea shark whale had transformed into. He shook it several times, but it didn't wake up; it was sleeping too soundly. So he switched to slapping it, slapping it more than a dozen times before finally waking the deep-sleeping sea shark whale from its gentle dream.

The awakened sea shark whale struggled in Li Cunxu's hands in terror. Li Cunxu let go, and with a thud, the sea shark whale slime fell to the ground. The sensation of the landing made the sea shark whale realize something was wrong, and it looked down to examine itself.

Seeing that it had turned into a slime, the sea shark whale was even more terrified.

Moreover, the deep-sea shark whale had a premonition that it might look like this for the rest of its life, which made it even more terrified.

Kind-hearted Li Cunxu did not allow the sea shark whale to continue to be terrified. Instead, he chose to deliver a powerful shot, kicking it hundreds of meters into the air before it crashed down.

The sea shark whale fainted again.

Originally, this kick wouldn't have knocked it unconscious, but now that its body has turned into a slime, it's just as fragile as a slime, so it was knocked out by the kick.

Now, the slime was defeated and unable to resist, thus fulfilling its duty to be branded as a subject.

As Li Cunxu had hoped, Xiao Ruan branded the sea shark whale with the mark of a subject.

Li Cunxu laughed wildly, his laughter piercing through the sea breeze.

As he laughed, Li Cunxu thought of something else and asked seriously, "Can you remove its permanent deformation?"

Little Soft nodded, "Okay, but removing it will also consume spiritual energy, and the amount of spiritual energy consumed is the same as the spiritual energy required to permanently turn it into a slime."

"Then let's change it back."

Li Cunxu squinted, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Li Cunxu wanted to conduct an experiment.

He wanted to know if the subject mark would still be present when the sea shark whale slime returned to its original form. If the subject mark was still present, that would be incredibly awesome.

The attribute tax provided by a sea shark whale that has been transformed into a slime is different from the attribute tax provided by a sea shark whale that has not been transformed into a slime.

One offers an attribute tax for a Dominator Slime, and the other offers an attribute tax for a Dominator Sea Shark Whale.

The former is scarce, while the latter can provide a great deal.

After the sea shark whale turns into a slime, although its level is still at the Overlord level, its race has changed and its body has become a slime, resulting in a significant drop in its overall strength and therefore providing very few attributes.

A data comparison will make it clear.

Assuming the sea shark whale doesn't turn into a slime, its overall attribute value is 1000.

If the sea shark whale were to turn into a slime, its strength would decrease, and its overall attribute value would be 10.

The sea shark whale didn't turn into a slime; it pays a 1% attribute tax every month, and 1% of 1000 is 10.

Sea Shark Whale: Increases the Little Soft's attribute stats by 10 per month.
The sea shark whale turned into a slime, and it pays a 10% attribute tax every month. One-tenth of a percent is 0.1%.

Sea Shark Whale Slime: Increases the slime's attribute values ​​by 0.1 per month.

One is an increase of 10, and the other is an increase of 0.1.

Clearly, the Sea Shark Whale didn't provide more attribute tax than the slime.

The little slime reversed the real slime's transformation. The sea shark whale slime turned back into a normal sea shark whale.

But the mark of being a subject that Li Cunxu had been hoping for had not faded; it remained.

That's incredibly impressive.

Li Cunxu was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.

If Xiao Ruan permanently turns 100 King Dragon Pets into slimes, brands them with the mark of subjects, and then turns them back into King Dragon Pets, then on the monthly tax collection day, the King Dragon Pets will provide Xiao Ruan with one percent of the attribute tax.

There are 100 King Dragon Pets. One hundred percent of each is 100%, which means 100%. Little Soft can receive 100% of the attribute tax from a King Dragon Pet.

Little Soft's strength increases monthly: all attributes of a king-level dragon pet.

Even if Xiao Ruan does nothing and just waits to collect taxes every month, she will still improve faster than others who consume massive resources and work hard to cultivate.

Moreover, marking a hundred king-level dragon pets with the subject mark is not the limit for Xiao Ruan.

By branding a thousand royal dragon pets with the mark of subjects, Xiao Ruan's strength increases monthly by all attributes of ten royal dragon pets.

By branding 10,000 King Dragon pets with the mark of subjects, Xiao Ruan's strength increases monthly by all attributes of 100 King Dragon pets.

……

Li Cunxu could already imagine that even after Xiao Ruan reached the late stage of her level, her strength would still increase rapidly.

"If a hundred Emperor-level pets were willing to cooperate with Little Soft to permanently become slimes and then brand them with the mark of subjects, Little Soft would have a base Emperor-level attribute value in just one month and possess Emperor-level combat power."

The idea was good, but Li Cunxu knew it was impossible to realize.

First of all, no royal pet would want to become a super weak slime, just like a powerful boxing champion would want to become a dwarf.

Secondly, once branded, it will completely obey Xiao Ruan's commands, essentially handing over the power of its own life and death to Xiao Ruan.

Let alone imperial pets, even ordinary black iron pets are unwilling to hand over the right to their life and death to others.

"Actually, if we had a bolder idea, we could imprint the marks of a hundred gods on them, and in just one month, Little Soft would have the attribute values ​​and combat power of a god."

Li Cunxu indulged in a wild fantasy.

"Although it's impossible to achieve, it proves that choosing to evolve the skill with this Imperial Technique Flower was the right choice."

Having learned from the example of the Imperial Technique Flower, Li Cunxu looked at the Myriad Manifestations Divine Stone with even greater anticipation. What kind of improvements would he see after using this little tool?

The Law of Myriad Phenomena enveloped the Divine Stone of Myriad Phenomena, causing the Divine Stone of Myriad Phenomena to liquefy and gradually merge into the Law of Myriad Phenomena.

It took a while to integrate; it took fourteen days.

As the last bit of the Myriad Manifestations Divine Stone merged into the laws, Xiao Ruan opened her eyes, which had been closed for fourteen days.

Li Cunxu asked somewhat anxiously, "What are the new abilities derived from the Law of Myriad Phenomena?"

Xiao Ruan thought for a moment and used an idiom to describe the new abilities derived from the Law of All Things.

"Sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others."

Hearing that the new abilities derived from the Law of All Things didn't seem very good, Li Cunxu patted Xiao Ruan's little head, which felt as good as ever.

"It's alright. It's not bad if the new abilities that are derived aren't good. Anyway, we got the Myriad Manifestations Divine Stone for free. Even if it doesn't derive any good new abilities, we're not at a loss," Li Cunxu comforted him softly.

Jiang Lingyun also took the opportunity to comfort Xiao Ruan, seemingly to comfort her, but in reality she just wanted to touch Xiao Ruan.

The first King-level slime, with the title of "Soft King," has the added prestige of being a slime. In addition, the slime itself has a particularly good feel, making it so addictive to touch that you don't want to let go for a long time.

Little Soft asked, somewhat puzzled, "Pfft~ But the new ability isn't bad, is it?"

　I always feel that taxation is a complicated process, and I'm always worried that I haven't explained it clearly enough.
