Chapter 168: Binge Drinking and Rebirth

After carefully sensing inside and out,

Gunie once again calmed his mind.

This was still only the effect of one bottle of Secret Pattern Potion, far from reaching Gunie's limit of absorption and fusion.

"When I discussed it with Dr. Henry before, he said that the higher the transcendent talent, the more Secret Pattern Potions one can absorb and integrate."

"This time, I want to see how many bottles I can absorb."

With this thought, Gunie opened the second bottle of Dawn of the Soul and gulped it down, then fell into slumber again.

Normally, drinking Secret Pattern Potions continuously in such a short time was unreasonable.

Using the second bottle only after three to five days or even longer would maximize the effect and prevent the body from developing resistance too quickly.

But for Gunie, since he was about to undergo rebirth, even the lethal memetic curse caused by the Dominator's flesh could be easily erased; any negative resistance from the potions would be completely cleared in one go.

An hour and a half later, Gunie woke up again.

After a careful assessment, Gunie made a rough summary.

"The improvement is still considerable, but slightly less effective than the first bottle."

Then Gunie drank the third bottle.

…

Then, the fourth bottle.

…

Then, the fifth bottle.

…

Inside the dark and silent small chamber.

It was now dawn of the next day.

Gunie, who had woken up again, sat cross-legged on the meditation mat without moving.

After about ten minutes, Gunie slowly opened his eyes.

"I drank too fast, and sure enough... there's a problem."

The first two bottles were fine, with significant improvement; by the third bottle, the effect sharply decreased, almost half of the second bottle.

And by the fourth bottle, its effect was less than a third of the third bottle.

The effect of this fourth bottle was already very poor.

Since resistance had already emerged, Gunie no longer cared.

Then Gunie drank the fifth bottle, which had minimal effect.

And when he drank the sixth bottle, Gunie simply found that the Dawn of the Soul no longer worked on him.

"The dawn that just rose has directly fallen into darkness." Gunie shook his head and chuckled softly.

"But, using myself as an experiment, this negative example is a bloody lesson for others."

"One bottle a week, or even one bottle every ten days, spacing out the drinking time, fully digesting the transcendent traits, and weakening the resistance effect as much as possible."

"Only then can one maximize the chance of transforming one's soul into an elite-level soul."

"Drinking continuously will only completely cut off the hope of advancing to an elite soul. I am a living example."

"I am indeed burning myself to light the way for others." Gunie sighed softly.

Composing himself, Gunie began to undress.

Next was the opportunity to gamble with fate; adopting the most primitive and natural way would allow Gunie to gain the greatest benefit.

Returning to his natural state, Gunie flipped his hand and took out the "Coin of Fate" that was both loved and hated.

The interweaving of angel and demon on the obverse and reverse, one positive and one negative, yet filled with unfathomable victory and defeat.

"Flip it, see what your luck is?"

A tempting thought bloomed in Gunie's mind.

Then Gunie found himself losing control of his right hand again.

"This thing... might not just be Danger-level; it could be Destruction-level."

Having witnessed the power of a Transcendent Master, and recalling the Blood Curse Master Gewu who had been tricked by this Coin of Fate,

Gunie could roughly guess that it had the power to directly annihilate a Transcendent Master along with their transcendent equipment.

This was definitely not something a Danger-level magical item could do.

Even, this Coin of Fate might be extremely powerful among "Destruction-level" items.

A magical existence that could exchange "life" and "fate" as bargaining chips was not simple.

A powerful will tempted Gunie.

Gunie no longer resisted and casually tossed the Coin of Fate.

At the same time, Gunie's super dynamic vision remained fixed on the coin tumbling in the air.

"Slap!" The Coin of Fate landed in Gunie's hand.

Gunie gently rubbed his temples.

"I... couldn't see clearly."

Just now, Gunie had tried to use his powerful dynamic vision to peek at the obverse and reverse of the tumbling Coin of Fate. But what met his eyes was a peculiar form where demon and angel were perfectly intertwined.

"Anyway, lose and I'm not at a loss, win and I'm in the black."

Gunie slowly opened his palm and then smiled.

"Today, Lady Luck favors me."

What met his eyes was the angel.

Then a holy radiance surged out, gathering in the air into a supreme Holy Light Angel.

As the angel's Sword of Fate struck down,

the dense chains of fate's shackles on Gunie's body shattered and collapsed in large numbers.

This sword cut off about ninety percent of the fate shackles currently on Gunie.

The remaining shackles were already quite sparse, and most were as thin as strands of hair.

"One more time, and I can completely break free from fate's imprisonment. I wonder what changes will happen." Gunie thought to himself.

Without much hesitation, Gunie tossed the "Coin of Fate" again.

"Pity, it seems I'll have to wait until next time to completely break free from fate's shackles."

Looking at the surging demon face, Gunie said softly.

Dark demonic energy surged, and the demon swallowed Gunie whole, leaving no trace.

Rebirth count: 4.

With Gunie's click, the four rebirths turned into three.

Ashes flowed against the current, and Gunie reappeared in the small chamber in his natural form.

"Every aspect has shrunk quite a bit."

While dressing, Gunie also sensed his soul strength, soul magnitude, source pool, physical strength, and other aspects.

"Fortunately... the additional soul transcendent traits I gained have not diminished in the slightest."

"At the same time, the resistance to the Soul Secret Pattern Potion has completely disappeared."

A faint smile appeared on Gunie's face.

"Only three rebirths remain, and my realm has fallen back to the mid-stage of Transcendent Second Order."

"The Soul Secret Pattern Potion, this time I need to drink it slowly."

"The previous heavy drinking significantly increased my soul transcendent traits."

"Drinking again from scratch will bring another substantial increase. My soul is about to transform into an elite level, isn't it?"

"Even, this bottle of potion in my hand might push me to the threshold of elite soul transformation."

Then, Gunie gulped down the Dawn of the Soul in his hand.

Afterward, Gunie fell into slumber.

Only this time, Gunie slept for a very long time.
