Chapter 456: Trial 254 on the Path to Becoming a God_2
In this respect, the “Bone Domination” that Dean McKenzie just combined seemed somewhat unimpressive.
Even if Dean McKenzie used level 9 Extraction on a skeleton of level 140, draining it thoroughly of all its essence, it would only yield around ten million attribute points at most.
If each only yielded ten million, how long would it take to extract the required 144 billion for level 10?
Fortunately, there were still many corpses in Dean’s Land of Bone, which he revived and extracted all.
After half a month of continuous extraction, Dean had exhausted all the corpses in the Land of Bone and managed to store 4800 billion for himself, which was just enough to enhance two of his dogs.
There was still a deficit of trillions to enhance all his dogs.
But Dean McKenzie was out of time. The so-called trial had begun.
Dean originally thought he would have to reach a specific location. Then Dean realized he thought too small; this was the Abyss, would the trials here require him to wait at a designated location?
“Master, this is the Trial Order. Activating it will allow you to directly enter the Land of Trials!”
Kavita handed a blue token to Dean McKenzie.
Upon taking the token in his hands, he activated it with his mana, and a powerful force began to surge around him.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared before Dean’s eyes.
“Do you wish to participate in the “Path to Becoming a God” trial?.
“Yes!” Dean McKenzie replied.
With Dean’s affirmative decision, the power around him surged, and in the following second, he disappeared from his original spot!
By the time Dean McKenzie had reacted, he found himself in a world wrapped in mist. Meanwhile, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.
“You have entered a specific trial instance on the Path to Becoming a God; within this instance, all participants will be bound by the following rules:
1. All your power will be taken away, and all your skills, talents, and equipment traits will be temporarily sealed, except for your base attributes.
2. You will receive a unique talent and a small cabin for this world. When night falls, the small cabin will become essential for your survival. Please do not leave your small cabin and try to upgrade it as much as possible.
3. In the Mist World, your senses will be reduced to a minimum. You can only understand the situation inside the mist when you enter relevant areas.
4. To survive in this world, you must have enough divine power, try to upgrade your cabin, and all resources are within the mist. If you want them, you must enter the mist. P.S. The mist also contains terrifying traps and monsters. There are dangers and opportunities. Please survive carefully.
5. The Path to Becoming a God leaderboard will appear once the first small cabin has been upgraded. Every three days, monsters will invade your cabin in ten waves. Try your best to survive. Those who survive to the end will receive basic rewards. Those who enter the top 1000 in the leaderboard will receive different rewards based on their ranks!”.
Dean McKenzie had never seen a dungeon with so many rules before, and it took him quite some time just to read through them.
After reading through the rules, Dean McKenzie looked at himself.
Upon opening the attribute panel, Dean noticed that all his talents, save for Extraction, had dimmed.
Seeing this took Dean by surprise.
“I didn’t expect Extraction to still be usable. It seems this instance does not limit Extraction!”
Of course, this was good news for Dean McKenzie.
If extraction was also sealed, this current instance would be much less useful for Dean McKenzie.
Once he had confirmed that extraction still worked, Dean’s mood improved significantly.
As for the sealing of his other skills, Dean McKenzie didn’t mind too much.
With his four-dimensional base attributes amounting to quintillions, even without any skills or traits, Dean McKenzie was still invincible.
However, Dean McKenzie also noticed a change to his attributes.

…
“This dungeon is quite interesting, feels like I’ve started a new game!”
Dean McKenzie quite likes this sense of novelty. He started by claiming the unclaimed talent.
[You have activated the talent [10x Reward]!]
“10x reward?”
Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow: “Does that mean I can get 10 times the rewards for anything I do in this dungeon? I didn’t know that my luck is so high.”
With a smile, Dean McKenzie opened the [10x Reward] talent to check it.
Upon seeing it, Dean McKenzie’s smile somewhat faded.
…
10x Reward: The effect of this talent is only applicable at the settlement after the dungeon is over. Having this talent is similar to having one less talent. If you can persist until the end under the condition of lacking a talent, you will get 10 times the reward at the settlement.
…
“Darn!”
Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but smirk. He originally thought he had obtained a supremely lucky talent, but it turned out to be a talent for the late stage, having no effect on the current dungeon.
Although having or not having one talent won’t affect Dean’s ability to pass, he inexplicably felt unhappy about having one less talent than others.
While Dean was still looking at the talent, the system prompt refreshed again.
[Announcement, Player No.985 is the first to upgrade the Small Wooden House to Level 1, activating the Path to Becoming a God leaderboard. As the first on the leaderboard, Player No.985 receives a Level 1 treasure chest!]
Simultaneously, a leaderboard for the Path to Becoming a God appeared before Dean McKenzie.
When Dean opened it, the list was empty save for a lone No.985. A refresh later, the leaderboard listed hundreds more, and another refresh saw it filled with thousands.
Apparently, the other competitors in the dungeon had started to get busy.
Seeing this, Dean decided not to dwell on his odd talent and focused on the current dungeon.
Dean looked at the decrepit small wooden house behind him which seemed like it would collapse at the gentlest touch. He found that although the wooden house was broken and dilapidated, it did provide some benefits.
Within a 5-meter radius around the wooden house, there was no mist.
Dean tried to use his spiritual power to perceive the Mist World, but it was futile. It was evident that the dungeon had some governing power; although it couldn’t control Dean’s talent, it significantly affected his perception.
Since he couldn’t perceive the Mist World, Dean didn’t bother trying. He picked a direction and walked into the misty realm.
As soon as Dean stepped out, the world before his eyes instantly cleared. He discovered he had been granted a perception range of 10 meters by 10 meters.
Within this range, Dean saw five tall trees, a bush, and a treasure chest marked 0-level shimmering under one of the trees.
Of course, there were also a group of snakes hiding in the bushes.
Dean raised an eyebrow and swept his spiritual power over them.
The group of snakes ended up instantly dead on the spot.
However, Dean noticed that although he had managed to easily deal with the snakes, his spiritual power didn’t have any effect on the trees and bushes.
The system even prompted Dean that he needed to chop down the trees personally to gain wood.
“What a hassle!”
Dean stated, walking up to one tree and striking it with a chop of his hand.
Turns out, the wood was quite sturdy, with a defense rating of about 50 billion. It could pose some difficulty to the ones who have lost their skills, talents, or traits, but for Dean, it was merely child’s play.
[You consumed 1 point of Divine Power, successfully chopped down a tree, receiving 50 pieces of wood!]
[You consumed 1 point of Divine Power, successfully chopped down a tree, receiving 45 pieces of wood!]
…
In a few strokes, Dean chopped down five trees, spending 5 points of Divine Power and gaining 225 pieces of wood.
Casually, Dean also opened the 0-level treasure chest.
[You open a level 0 treasure chest, receiving a blueprint of a fence and a unit of water!]
Effortlessly obtaining resources, Dean returned to the small wooden house and started upgrading it.
[Spent 20 pieces of wood, 20 units of Divine Power, Your Small Wooden House has been upgraded to Level 1!]
