Merak

## Blue Star

Galaxy Territory is upgraded.

Chen Rui entered the Galaxy Divinity Temple and sat on the throne. The difference from the past was that the status bar, skill tree and other light screens did not appear, but they appeared directly in Chen Rui’s mind. He could know with just a thought.

Inside the mouth and nose of the 3D human, there was a dark blue flame with the word “Merak” on it which was the Star Pulse of the Merak realm.

In addition to the previous 5 Star Pulses, there were a total of 6 arranged in a straight line.

* Title: Pole Star Emperor
* Evolution Level: 6 stars
* Comprehensive Strength Assessment: S+
* Physique: S+, power: S+, spirit: S++, speed: S+.
* Aura Value: 197 million
* Faith Crystal: 6567.
* Pole Star Level: Blue Star

No doubt, this understanding of life and death finally made him break through the bottleneck of Phecda state and reached the Merak state of 6-star evolution. His title had advanced from “Star Lord” to “Pole Star Emperor”. The various values ​​directly reached S+ which was different from the S- he imagined for the early stage of the Demon Overlord. His spirit power even reached S++. The standard of this evaluation index seemed to have changed. There would be no 2 “+” previously.

Surprisingly, there was no Experience Value data in this “status bar”. There was a new bar for faith crystal (see faith power), and there was also a Pole Star Level that was not available before.

*Fortunately, the hidden danger of Shura has been completely resolved. The area of ​​[Galaxy Territory] has greatly expanded, and there are more and more living planets. The accumulation of faith power will also speed up a lot.*

*Evolving to the present level, data such as experience value is no longer needed. That pole star level should be able to reflect the current level. Blue Star is only the first level. There should be higher levels. Similarly, my strength will also be more powerful.*

After advancing, Chen Rui was naturally concerned about the new skills. When his thoughts moved, the skill tree had already surfaced in his mind.

### New Skills

Four new skills appeared on the 6th level of the illuminated skill tree.

Punishment (Passive feature) - Reflect all the damage suffered (could be set to exempt the damage level). The chance of activation at the current blue star level s 30%. This skill made Chen Rui widen his eyes.

In addition to this passive skill, there were 3 active skills.

Sneak (Active skill) - Hides the trail; goes unnoticed by the enemy; automatically deactivated when launching an attack. The maximum duration is 1 hour; limited to once every 3 hours. Each activation requires 10,000 aura.

Scorching Dragon Roar (Active skill)- Powerful attack skill, launch a group of Scorching Dragons to attack the enemy. The number and power of Scorching Dragons are proportional to one’s own power. Each activation requires 100,000 aura.

*This should be the aoe version of Scorching Dragon. The power of a group of dragons in action will definitely be amazing.*

Pole Star Transformation (Active skill)- Powerful combat form transformation; the specific form is unknown. The current pole star level is a blue star. Each activation requires 1 million aura and 10,000 faith crystals.

### Upgraded Skills

There were 3 types of original skills that had been upgraded accordingly. In addition to the original [Sonic Boom] flying technique, he had a high-speed flying skill [Light Boom] which could be used only once per hour. Another star point was added for the [Star Gate], making it a total of 3. The protective shield had been upgraded to a defensive shield; the ability of absorbing damage and defense had been greatly improved.

The ‘cooldown’ of some skills such as Scorching Dragon Kill and [True Destructive Aura Blow] were removed. The cooldown was actually for the recovery and buffering time of the Super System to channel the energy to launch special skills. As the system upgraded, some skills no longer needed buffering and they could theoretically be activated infinitely provided that Chen Rui’s own Star Power was sufficient.

In the ‘extra skills’ at the canopy of the skill tree, in addition to the original skills of the God-Eating Mask, the Sword of Fallen Angel, and the Flame of Nirvana, 2 surprising new ‘fruits’ had been added.

Time Control- Control the time flow rate; the specific detail is unknown.

Cloning- Separate a clone that is completely controlled by oneself; the specific detail is unknown.

### New Items

There were 2 types of new items in the exchange center, 1 was faith life which had additional buffs like the Snow Dallet.

* Phantom flower— Level B faith creature (wind element). Increase the speed of the Star Conferring Platform’s receiver by 20%. The exchange price is 5,000 faith crystals.
* Prayer grass — Level C creature (earth element). Increases the output of faith crystals in the kingdom by 10% daily. The exchange price is 10,000 faith crystals.

The second category of exchange items was very special.

* The devotee’s heart – An independent core of faith which could be integrated into the object to become the center of absorbing faith power and converting faith. Its function was similar to the Tower of Faith. The exchange price was 100,000 faith crystal; only 1 exchange is allowed.
* The devotee’s feet – Expands the absorption range of faith, buffs and transmits faith power. The function was similar to the Pillar of Faith. The exchange price was 100,000 faith crystals with no limit to the number of exchanges.

### New Building

The Star Conferring Platform : The construction of the Star Conferring Platform required 100,000 auras and 100 faith crystals.

### New System Function

Aura Protection :

* Super System prompted: Found the invasion of unknown law energy. Activate [Aura Protection]? Consumes 1000 aura values and 1 faith crystal every minute.
* [Aura Protection] activated successfully. Starting [Deep Analysis]… The estimated analysis time to determine the attribute – 24 hours.

## Red Star - Chapter 854

The dark blue Star Pulse with the word ‘Merak’ inside the 3D human-shaped snout had turned into crimson color. Red Pole Star Emperor.

Compared with the difficulty and thrill of the previous advancement, the advancement of the Pole Star Emperor this time could be described in 2 words- Natural flow.

After comprehending the law, the biggest change was naturally the strength.

* Title: Pole Star Emperor
* Evolution Level: 6-Star
* Comprehensive Strength Assessment: SS+
* Physique: SS+, Strength: SS+, Spirit: SS+, Speed: SS+.
* Aura Value: 11.275 billion
* Faith Crystal: 2.137 billion.
* Pole Star Level: Red Star

### Changes

In the Super System, the original solar system had been expanded dozens of times. There was not only 1 ‘sun’, but more than a dozen suns! The solar system where each sun was located was a small-scale solar system. The rhythm between the small solar systems and the overall rhythm of the entire medium-sized solar system contained a mysterious and powerful strength.

The signs of intelligent life had also spread from the original small solar system to the entire solar system. Although there were only some habitable planets, the source of faith had been expanded by more than 10 times.

### New/Upgraded Skills - Building - Functions

#### Skills

The Red Pole Star Emperor was not a 7-star evolution, but a small advancement in the 6-star evolution. This time the advancement did not introduce new skills. On the contrary, many of the original skills such as ‘teleportation’, ‘[Aura Blade]’, [Aurora Shot], ‘[Galaxy Territory]’ and so on had disappeared from the skill tree. Not that these skills couldn’t be used. Instead, these skills had become one with him. As long as the Star Power was enough, he could activate them arbitrarily without time or frequency limit.

This was the biggest breakthrough. Not just because the restrictions were removed, the ‘sense of figure’ gradually faded away just like Chen Rui’s feeling after entering a certain realm. They truly converted into his own strength. That was to say, the real role of the Super System was to assist and guide the controller to master the strength step by step toward the peak stage, instead of passively upgrading and providing some skills.

After the **[Blue Pole Star Transformation]** had become **[Red Pole Star Transformation]**, it would bring Chen Rui’s combat power to a new level; the **[Star Gate]** had **4** extra star points, and the star point setting time had also increased from 3 years to 10 years. Unfortunately, it was still impossible to bring others other than himself. However, Chen Rui did not have too many regrets because the changes in red star advancement were far more than these. There were 3 surprising changes.

#### Function

The first change was that the previously grayed out ‘**[Star-level Enhancement]**’ of the **[Link Enhancement]** could finally be used. There were 2 kinds of [Link Enhancement]. [Battle Enhancement] consumes 100 faith crystals every time and there is a time limit. Meanwhile, **[Star-level Enhancement]** was permanent where each enhancement required 100,000 faith crystals. It could greatly increase the strength of the linker, but after canceling the link, the enhancement effect would disappear. The price of **[Star-level Enhancement]** was not cheap. 1-star enhancement required 100,000 faith crystals per person.

**[Star-level Enhancement]**

* According to the prompt, the strength of the recipient would be sealed, then in about 1 month, the seal would slowly disappear. This process was like a silkworm spinning a silk cocoon to bind itself before it broke out of the cocoon. Enhancement itself was not dangerous, but after ‘breaking the cocoon’, the amount of strength or progress depended on the absorption and comprehension in that 1 month. The only pity was that this enhancement was only for linked objects, so Chen Rui himself was not included.
* **Benefits**
	+ After the [Star-level Enhancement] was completed, the first significant change was sensing power. People who got the [Star-level Enhancement] could sense the existence of each other at a certain distance, and not only Chen Rui alone. This was quite a useful feature for a team.
	+ Chen Rui had already understood the meaning of the [Star-level Enhancement], which was to use Star Power and faith power to cast off the old self and turn over a new leaf. It not only further solidified the foundation, but it was also easier to break through the bottleneck in the future. It was like a super version of devil fruit.
	+ Another unique feature of [Star-level Enhancement] was the ‘interaction’, 2 people who received the enhancement would get an obvious strength buff within a certain distance. The more people, the stronger the buff.
	+ Regardless of the type of link, the effect of this buff would double as long as Chen Rui was in it. This was simply the halo feature of the team leader, in which non-’team members’ would not have.

#### Building

The second change was a new star position in the Star Conferring Platform.

* Star Concubine. Spirit: SS. Special attribute: [Break Mind]. Doubles the damage of spirit and soul attacks and halves the damage of spirit and soul attacks.
* Star Commander. Strength S++, Speed S++. Special attribute: [Safeguard]. Greatly reduces damage and doubles stamina recovery.

There were 1 Star Concubine, 2 Star Commanders, 4 Star Generals, 6 Star Servants, and 8 Star Apprentices.

The third surprise came from the training ground where the maximum upper limit of the training ground time rule became 500 times, and it even specially added a **[Faith Projection]** function.

This was a special function that manifested from the Super System. It could project the training ground into reality. The effect was **1/5**. There were 2 prerequisites. First, pay the corresponding faith crystal; second, the person who enters must be the spirit link or the believer who provides the faith. Non-believers could not enter.

In addition, there was an additional **[Faith Martial Soul]** in the exchange center. This martial soul could be attached to any weapon to enhance its power and bestow the power of the destruction law to the user. Similarly, only the one who had a spirit link or believers could activate it.

## Purple Star - Chapter 1029

It was still a six-star evolution, but the advancement was only in level, from "Red Pole Star Emperor" to "Purple Pole Star Emperor". The unit of spiritual energy value and faith crystals became "cubes", which should be a rather large statistical unit.

* Title: Polaris Emperor
* Evolution Level: 6 stars
* Comprehensive Strength Assessment: SSS +
* Physique: SSS +, Power: SSS +, Spirit: SSS +, Speed: SSS +.
* Aura Value: 4.51 million cubes
* Faith Crystal: 370,000 cubes
* Polaris Rank: Purple Star

### Skills Upgraded

#### Description

* In the skill light screen on the throne, many of the original skills in the "branches" of the skill tree had "disappeared". Only the "crown" of some skills appeared.
* This phenomenon also appeared when he was promoted to "Crimson Pole Star Emperor". This meant that those abilities had been completely integrated into the body. There were no previous restrictions such as time and frequency. As long as the strength was enough, he could use them as he wished.
* Not only the skill tree, but also some other data things had disappeared.
* Super System was becoming less and less like a digital system. Instead, it was more like a digital foundation that guided the controller step by step to get rid of the restrictions of fixed data and enter a higher and more free level.
* As his strength level increased, this feeling became clearer and clearer.
* It was like … the evolution of life.

#### Skills

There was no doubt that "Purple Pole Star Transformation" was the most powerful skill of "Purple Pole Star Emperor".

"Purple Pole Star Emperor" could already exert a power similar to "power". In addition to the original "Polaris Storm", "Star Wing Protection", and "True Red Annihilation", there were four powers that Chen Rui performed before.

These four powers were not "granted" by the Super System but "realized" by Chen Rui himself. The Super System only provided a platform.

* This was the biggest difference from the previous evolution level.

* Swift as the wind, gentle as a forest, aggressive like fire, immovable like a mountain.
* Speed, time, attack, defense.

In addition to *"Purple Pole Star Transformation",* an active skill was added.

**[Mirror Form]** – In the mirror form, the whole body can reflect or refract all the enemy's attacks for ten seconds. Can be used once an hour.

* This skill was obviously a defensive skill. It was somewhat similar to [Star Diversion], but the effect was more powerful. In the [Mirror Form] state, the whole body could reflect the enemy's attacks.

Although there were no new attack skills in the other regular states, with Chen Rui's current strength, he had completely mastered the power of the law. He could freely perform various moves without the mode of the Super System. He could even improve the skills of the Super System, such as the [Seven Star Explosion] improved from [Aurora Shot].

After upgrading to the Purple Pole Star Emperor, the star points of the **[Star Gate]** increased from the original 4 to 7, and the effective time of the star point increased from 10 years to 50 years.

After advancing to "Purple Pole Emperor", the highest time rule of the **training ground reached 1: 1000.** The training ground projection that could be placed outside was still only half effective, but the entrants were no longer limited to the linked objects. They could exchange the fruit of faith from the exchange center and enter after consuming the fruit. Those who entered by relying on the power of the fruit were different from the linked objects. There was a considerable time limit, and they couldn't use the time rule of the highest authority.
