Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

"Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level, High Drop Rate, and Abundant Resources" is currently being serialized on Cola Novels and is not to be missed!

The golden light dissipated.

Shen Xi opened her eyes and found herself back in the dilapidated main hall of the temple.

The familiar mottled murals, the familiar rune array, the familiar three pillars of the palace. Only the blood-red phantom has vanished, leaving only a silent bluestone floor.

Shen Xi stood there and waited for a while.

There was no movement.

He waited a while longer.

Still nothing.

"Um?"

Shen Xi frowned slightly.

That's not right.

Based on the experience of the previous life, after passing all three trials, the Doomsday Game should immediately issue the job change reward and then teleport him out.

But now...

He looked up and around; the main hall was so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing.

"What's going on?"

Shen Xi was somewhat puzzled. He opened the system panel and searched through the task logs...

[First Trial: The Way of Combat - Completed (S-Rank)]

[Third Trial: The Path of Life and Death - Completed (S-Rank)]

[Third Trial: The Path to True Self - Completed (S-Rank)]

Current status: Awaiting final settlement...

Waiting for settlement?

He'd never seen anything like this in his previous life. Back then, after completing the third trial, the class change reward was just thrown right in his face; there was no waiting for the results to be tallied.

He looked down at the system panel.

The post-apocalyptic survival system indicates that all three trials have been passed.

but……

What about the Domination System?

The Overlord System hasn't appeared even once since then!

This isn't right.

Something's really wrong.

Following the Overlord System's usual modus operandi, it always pops up to modify the missions released in the apocalypse game. And it always makes sure to assert its presence after each battle.

But now, he has completed three trials, and the Dominator System has remained completely silent.

Shen Xi frowned, and with a thought, brought up the Dominator System panel.

A golden curtain of light unfolded before my eyes...

[Domination System]

[Host: Shen Xi]

[Game Nickname: Primordial]

Level: 10 (Unallocated attribute points: 45)

[Dominator Bonus: 1. Celestial Derivative Drop Rate (Original Level/Upgradable)]

[Standard Bonus: Slavery Contract (Tier 1)]

everything is normal.

But when Shen Xi's gaze fell on the task bar, her pupils suddenly contracted.

[Currently in progress: Mysterious Legacy (In Progress)]

[Task Status: Phase 1 Completed, Phase 2 Awaiting Trigger]

[Note: You have passed three trials and collected three trial marks. But this is only the beginning. An ancient heritage far beyond your imagination awaits its true inheritor.]

Shen Xi stared at the line of words, remaining motionless for a long time.

Phase 1 complete?

Is the second phase yet to be triggered?

Shen Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"interesting."

He recalled the line of text that appeared when the Dominator System modified the mission: "An ancient heritage far beyond your imagination."

The Blood Berserker is indeed a top-tier hidden class, but it's definitely not "far beyond imagination".

So, what is true inheritance?

Shen Xi's gaze fell on the three blood-red marks in the storage space.

【Blood Berserker - Trial Mark (Part 1)】

【Blood Frenzy: Trial Mark (Part Two)】

【Blood Frenzy: Trial Mark (Part 3)】

Collect all three to unlock the true core of inheritance.

With a thought, three marks appeared simultaneously in his palm.

They trembled slightly, their crimson light intertwining as if resonating or calling out to something.

Shen Xi raised her head, her gaze sweeping over every corner of the main hall.

Since the Domination System says the second phase is pending, there must be a trigger point.

where is it?

He carefully observed every detail in the main hall.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped.

In the deepest corner of the main hall, there is a floor tile that is a darker color than the others.

It's not very obvious, but if you look closely, you can see that the edge of the tile has slight wear, as if it has been stepped on frequently.

Shen Xi walked over, squatted down, and tapped on it.

empty.

There is space below.

He took a deep breath, pressed his palm against the floor tile, and exerted force!

"Snap!"

The floor tiles shattered, revealing a dark entrance. A stone staircase sloping downwards disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Xi stood up and looked at the entrance.

Is this the second stage that the Dominator System is talking about?

Without hesitation, he stepped forward.

The stone steps were long and steep, with ancient runes carved into the walls on both sides. Those runes glowed faintly as Shen Xi passed by.

After walking for about ten minutes, the stone steps finally came to an end.

Before us stood a stone door.

The door is old, its surface covered with cracks, but several large characters are engraved on the lintel, and although faded, they are still faintly discernible—

Only those who follow my teachings can enter this gate.

Shen Xi reached out and pushed the door open.

The stone gate remained completely still.

He tried again, but it still didn't move.

Just as I was wondering, the three marks suddenly trembled violently and flew out on their own!

They hovered in front of the stone gate, their crimson light growing brighter and brighter until it transformed into three streams of light that simultaneously shot into the three grooves on the gate!

"Rumble..."

The stone gate slowly opened.

Behind the door was a small stone chamber, about twenty square meters in size. In the center of the chamber was a stone platform, on which sat a stone box. The surface of the stone box was covered with runes, from which a faint light shimmered.

The walls around the stone chamber are covered with murals.

The first mural...

A state of chaos.

There was no sky, no earth, no light, no darkness. Only endless chaos, like a pot of boiling soup, churning and surging.

In the center of the chaos, a gigantic figure was vaguely visible. The figure was so large that it almost filled the entire scene, yet it was also so blurry that its outline was indistinct.

The second mural...

Chaos has cracked open.

A gigantic hand emerged from the chaos, splitting heaven and earth apart. With its five fingers spread wide, wherever the fingertips touched, the chaos dissipated, the pure energy rose to become the sky, and the turbid energy descended to become the earth.

The third mural...

Heaven and earth have been formed.

The colossal figure stood between heaven and earth, his hands hanging down as if gazing at something. Beneath his feet lay the vast earth. Above his head stretched the endless sky.

The fourth mural...

The figure fell.

His body transformed into mountains and rivers, his breath into wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning, his eyes into the sun, moon, and stars, and his blood into rivers, lakes, and seas.

Where he fell, a drop of blood remained, undissipated.

The drop of blood fell to the ground and seeped deep into the soil.

The fifth mural...

That drop of blood took root, sprouted, and grew into a giant tree, entirely crimson. Its branches and leaves were lush and verdant, blocking out the sun. On its crown hung crimson fruits.

Inside each fruit, a blurry human figure is curled up.

The sixth mural...

The fruit ripened and split open.

Figures emerged from the fruit. Some were tall and imposing, others short and thin; some carried weapons, others were unarmed. They emerged from under the trees, heading in all directions, disappearing at the edge of the scene.

On the tree, there was one last fruit, unripe.

The seventh mural...

The last one.

The unripe fruit was picked.

The hand picking the fruit is a giant hand, exactly the same as the hand that holds up the sky and the earth in the second mural.

The hand held the fruit and placed it on a stone platform.

Countless figures knelt before the stone platform, devoutly worshipping.

Shen Xi stood in front of the last mural for a long time without moving.

His mind was in turmoil.

That drop of blood...

That tree...

Those fruits...

That hand...

A name surfaced in his mind, but he dared not utter it aloud.

The cause and effect of that name were too great, far beyond anyone's imagination.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the stone platform.

The stone box lay there quietly.

Shen Xi reached out and placed her hand on the stone box.

The stone box opened with a click.

There was only one thing inside...

A drop of blood.

A drop of blood, suspended in mid-air, spinning silently.

It was only the size of a fingernail, but when Shen Xi stared at it, she felt as if she were gazing at a vast ocean. The drop of blood seemed to contain a world, with mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, stars, and countless living beings that were born, aged, sick, and died, endlessly reincarnating within it.

[An unknown inherited core has been detected...]

[Analyzing...]

Parsing failed...

Parsing failed...

Parsing failed...

The game's notification sounds kept ringing out, but I failed time and time again.

Then, the golden light of the Dominator System finally appeared.

This time, the light was brighter and more intense than ever before.

[The Domination System has intervened!]

[A primordial-level inherited core has been detected!]

[Inheritance Explanation: This is a drop of blood. A drop of blood that has survived since the beginning of time. Its owner has long since perished, but his will, his power, and his legacy are all condensed in this drop of blood. After waiting for endless ages, finally, someone qualified to inherit it has arrived.]
