The Last Chaebol: The Reborn Heroine Pays Tribute to Him at the Beginning

It was a mysterious feeling, which made Shen Chen confused and surprised.

In the previous life, this way of advancement seriously hindered the growth of awakeners.

So many top awakeners and scholars in major bases have tried to break through this limitation.

The final result is -

None of them succeeded!

Only when the number of third-level people reaches about one thousand, the barrier of the fourth level will disappear and open to human awakeners.

Similarly, only when the number of fourth-level people reaches more than four hundred, the awakeners at the peak of the fourth level will have the possibility of touching the fifth level.

At the end of the previous life, in Shen Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, there were only seventeen seventh-level humans, including him.

Although their existence in the sea of ​​consciousness is only those unrecognizable dots.

But they all know -

They are the awakeners who have always been at the forefront of mankind, advancing with bumps and bumps all the way.

Although it is difficult, at least there is hope for advancement.

But after reaching the seventh level, Shen Chen and others all felt that -

Perhaps they could not reach the eighth level no matter what.

The seventh level was already the limit of human awakeners...

That was a desperate result.

This despair was not spread among all humans, but only among the top strong men standing at the top of the human world.

That was a real despair -

Humanity's potential had reached its peak. The monsters that belonged to the same planet as humans could only grow to the eighth level at most.

And the top monsters in the abyss, such as those terrifying demon lords, Shen Chen had heard of the existence of the ninth level.

They had to admit the fact that in the game of doomsday, humans had already begun to lose.

...

Rebirth did not make Shen Chen ecstatic.

If he just followed the old path of his previous life, he would not be able to change the overall situation.

So he integrated the power of the gods.

He developed the Free City at a high speed.

But "binding advancement" and "the seventh level limit" also weighed heavily on his heart.

The former will seriously slow down his advancement speed, and the latter... even directly framed his peak.

But at this moment...

In the extremely dark space, only the weak light of the kerosene lamp hit the bronze surface, illuminating Shen Chen like an ancient god.

The pure white chain of eternity danced lightly around Shen Chen, and the ancient patterns engraved on it flickered with faint silver light.

What is even more shocking is that -

The energy released by Shen Chen's eternal domain, the aura it exudes, and the supernatural pressure...

"Fourth level..."

Xia was also shocked and covered his mouth, staring at Shen Chen.

"Adam, you... you just broke through to the fourth level?"

Chu Qingyang was stunned and wanted to congratulate him, but he remembered that Jiang Tian was beside him and could only hold back.

Lord Shen Chen just changed his eternal domain from the third level to the fourth level!

Of course he knew the meaning of the fourth level.

Since he broke through the third level, white dots representing the number of third-level humans appeared in his mind.

He watched the number of white dots gradually increase from more than one hundred to more than five hundred...

But now...

Chu Qingyang was shocked to feel that there was a dot in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was one level higher than all the white dots.

That was-

Shen Chen!

That meant that he was the first human to break through to the fourth level!

Chu Qingyang was a little excited. He looked at Jiang Tian and found that his eyes were dull and sluggish.

"Who... who are you?"

Jiang Tian's voice trembled, staring at Shen Chen's bronze face.

"Jiang Tian?"

Shen Chen chuckled, took two steps forward, and took off the bronze mask with one hand, letting the kerosene light shine on his extremely handsome face.

Seeing that face, Jiang Tian's throat rolled and his eyes were about to burst.

Shen Chen uttered word by word-

"What, don't you recognize me?"

...

One month ago.

In the laboratory in the Free City, Shen Chen is undergoing the most comprehensive investigation so far.

After walking out of the instrument, Fang Xiu immediately walked in front of Shen Chen and said-

"Master, the 'scarlet line' has now spread from your right arm to your right chest, and the extension speed has increased by two points in the past two weeks."

"Scarlet line" refers to the forbidden power in Shen Chen's body, which is also the power of God, and is a blood-snake-like line under instrument observation.

Before the end of the world, it has been quietly existing in the right arm. After the end of the world, it began to swim slowly towards other parts of the body.

This is "erosion" and also "price".

Among all the powers controlled by Shen Chen, the level of the forbidden power is the highest.

It can allow Shen Chen to kill the awakened tree monster when he is still an ordinary person.

It can allow Shen Chen to kill the awakened tree monster when he is in Qingdu.Ignore the threat of the demon lord Urgos with power.

Under the Xuanyuan Palace of the imperial capital, it can instantly destroy the terrifying rule-based monster Time Worm with forbidden power.

In addition, its extremely high level can also strip Xeras of his control over the demon species and block the poisonous fog in the ice cave that can kill the direwolf.

So far, Shen Chen has encountered various curses, toxins, and rules in the doomsday, and none of them can resist Shen Chen's forbidden power at the same level.

Such a terrifying power has already greatly exceeded Shen Chen's expectations.

But behind all the gifts of fate, the price has already been secretly marked.

Every time Shen Chen advances, the erosion speed of the "scarlet line" will deepen.

Shen Chen can roughly guess-

What will happen when the "scarlet line" erodes his whole body.

Therefore, blocking the erosion of the "scarlet line" has been the most important project of the research institute since the beginning of the doomsday.

Fang Xiu led the team to test tens of thousands of synthetic drugs, potions, natural magic grass in the doomsday, and crystals for Shen Chen.

After tens of thousands of failures, test failures, and research failures, they finally succeeded in synthesizing a substance that only played a positive role in hindering the erosion of the scarlet line.

The research institute named it——

"X compound."

Needless to say, the cost of its synthetic materials is high enough to make people who know it dumbfounded.

Only the Free City can afford it.

Moreover, X compound is not only useful to Shen Chen, this product created by consuming almost endless funds and power of the Free City has extremely terrifying benefits for any awakener.

So after Shen Chen used it, the remaining X compound was also used as the trump card of the Free City, and rewarded to those awakeners who made great contributions.

Such strategic-level weapons do not accept any exchange of contribution points.

At present, there are one, two, and three X compounds in the research institute.

Each number can just act on Shen Chen of the corresponding level, greatly delaying the extension of the scarlet line.

In a year, Shen Chen was promoted from level one to level three, and the research institute was able to prepare for Shen Chen in advance every time.

But compound X No. 4 is also a difficult task for the Free City.

Because in the raw materials of compound X, in addition to various rare and expensive synthetics, there is also an indispensable thing.

That is the crystal source of the corresponding level!

In other words, if you want to make compound X No. 4, you must hunt down a fourth-level monster or demon!
