After a string of prompts appeared, Red Dust, clad in a crimson brocade robe, wore a grave expression. Orange stood behind him, pressed close against his body. The two had clearly formed the most intimate contract, allowing such interaction within their Private Space.

The woman could hear Red Dust’s heartbeat. This powerful warrior seemed to be under immense psychological pressure as well, and she could only comfort him this way.

"Brother Red Dust, if there’s no other way, choose a title with lower difficulty. You’ve joined Paradise now. Next cycle, with that lord there, we can still…"

Buzz!

A powerful burst of force instantly sent everything in the Private Space flying. Red Dust shook his head gravely.

"Little Orange, you don’t understand. Reincarnators don’t have it that easy…"

Red Dust had a rugged face but a meticulous mind. One could tell from how he had concealed his strength and infiltrated the Sage team for so long. Though the Sage had ultimately been far more scheming than him, he was by no means as bold and carefree as he appeared.

In fact, he understood better than most that once a Reincarnator developed the kind of mentality Little Orange had, death was probably not far away—especially for a High-tier Reincarnator like him.

What did it matter if Mercenary Tao protected them in the real world or in the Space? Once they were dropped into a terrifying mission world, Reincarnators would ultimately be alone and helpless.

Besides… someone like Mercenary Tao was not easy to follow. If one’s strength could not keep up with the group, being abandoned was only a matter of time.

Having personally witnessed Mercenary Tao’s battles and even fought him head-on, Red Dust was not like those low-tier Reincarnators, blindly inclined to worship Mercenary Tao as some sacred being.

That man was, ultimately, a beast.

"I was just thinking, His Excellency Mercenary Tao’s fighting style is rather similar to mine, but he probably wouldn’t choose the same title as me, right? Hahaha…"

Though rough in appearance, Red Dust was careful in thought. He deliberately used this half-true joke to comfort the woman, though he really did have a trace of worry.

The three unique titles he had obtained—Martial God, Heavenly Being, and Origin Stream—respectively corresponded to three development paths for combat-oriented Reincarnators.

By Red Dust’s estimation, Mercenary Tao would certainly be able to obtain them as well. Their enhancement paths overlapped to a certain extent.

Moreover, as unique titles of the martial arts system, their bonuses perfectly suited the fighting styles of Reincarnators like them who favored close combat.

If Mercenary Tao did not pursue those Crown of Supremacy titles that possessed unique authorities but might not necessarily be useful, it was not impossible that he would choose one of these titles.

And if he ran into Mercenary Tao, that would basically mean he had lost his qualification to obtain the unique title.

That was how it was sometimes. When facing a decision that could affect the development of an entire future cycle, or even directly determine life and death, fear would still arise even when one knew the odds were slim.

After thinking for a moment, Red Dust made his decision. He drew in his thoughts, and the internal energy with a strength exceeding 80 returned to his body.

He pushed Orange away, nodded, and made his choice.

"I accept the invitation to the Heavenly Being Title Contest!"

You have accepted the invitation to the Unique Title: Heavenly Being Title Contest.

Red Dust’s breathing unconsciously quickened. The next moment, an intense white light appeared above the Private Space and directly enveloped him.

Buzz!

Red Dust vanished within the light pillar.

The night wind was dry, and cold air rushed into Red Dust’s lungs. He abruptly came back to his senses, only to find the surroundings brightly lit. He stood atop crimson glazed roof tiles, and when he looked around, he saw palace buildings stretching all around him.

Many soldiers were patrolling below. It seemed he had been dropped into a plane with the worldview of an ancient East Xia world, directly atop an imperial palace hall.

His thoughts stirred, and he gained some understanding of the situation. Sure enough, a stream of silver-white information appeared before him.

Unique Title: Heavenly Being, First Round of Selection

World: Forbidden City Summit P19

Mission: Win

Special Mode: Attention. Battles in this world will yield no rewards. Before a Reincarnator dies, the Space will forcibly recall them.

At that moment, a powerful Battle Aura erupted from atop another palace hall.

Red Dust turned around and saw a bald, burly man in jet-black armor. His hands rested at his waist as his Battle Aura exploded outward, blasting the palace hall apart.

Amid the cries of alarm from the soldiers below, Red Dust’s expression turned cold.

"A guy from the West District is competing for the Heavenly Being title too…"

"You really do look down on us!"

"Sweep Through a Thousand Armies!"

A treasured saber instantly appeared in Red Dust’s hands. He raised it with both hands, and the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted in an instant. The Reincarnator atop the other palace hall sensed an unbelievably violent energy. Looking up, he saw a thousand-meter saber aura erupt and cleave down upon him.

Boom!

The palace hall and the bald man were both split apart by the terrifying saber aura, exploding in all directions.

Bai Cangshu emerged from the Goddess’s Abode and teleported directly back to his Private Space. The moment he entered, a flood of information began scrolling wildly before him.

Special Reincarnator EX051, it has been detected that you have obtained qualifications for numerous unique titles. Would you like to filter them?

Bai Cangshu gave them a rough look. He had obtained qualification for more than fifty unique titles.

Since many title qualifications still prioritized attributes, Bai Cangshu naturally met the entry requirements for most titles.

Only those requiring a particular combat style or some special ability would filter him out.

He began making a simple selection among the titles.

You have obtained the qualification to compete for Crown of Supremacy: Domain of Strength. Would you like to join?

You have obtained the qualification to compete for Crown of Supremacy: Domain of Agility. Would you like to join?

You have obtained the qualification to compete for Crown of Supremacy: Domain of Constitution. Would you like to join?

You have obtained the qualification to compete for Crown of Supremacy: Domain of Spirit. Would you like to join?

After filtering, Bai Cangshu saw that the top four entries all glimmered with a dark golden sheen.

Without a doubt, purely in terms of rarity, these were the highest-grade options.

Bai Cangshu frowned. It was not that he was dissatisfied, but the multi-attribute Crown of Supremacy he had imagined when entering the Space had not appeared.

He kept scrolling downward and finally found what he wanted.

You have obtained qualification for the Hidden Unique Title: Eye of Osiris Contest. Would you like to join?

You have obtained qualification for the Hidden Unique Title: Strength of Heracles Contest. Would you like to join?

You have obtained qualification for the Hidden Legendary Title: Take Mikazuchi Contest. Would you like to join?

Attention. Hidden titles do not affect the acquisition of normal titles. Hidden titles may only be chosen once.

Several titles in a row were displayed in multicolored text. For example, in Eye of Osiris, the words "Osiris" were red, while "Eye" was yellow.

By focusing on them, one could understand the requirements and general scope behind each title.

Eye of Osiris corresponded to Strength and Spirit attributes. It was not only related to attributes, but also involved Mystic Eyes and Pupil Techniques.

But this title was merely a unique title.

Take Mikazuchi at the bottom involved both Spirit and Agility attributes, while also requiring an energy system related to lightning.

The special titles Bai Cangshu had previously seen from Knight Sister were of even lower rank.

Take Mikazuchi

Title Rank: Legendary

Qualification Requirements: Spirit > 40; Agility > 40; mastery of a lightning-element energy system

Title Ability: Gain the ability to transform into Take Mikazuchi and command the authorities of lightning and extreme speed.

Bai Cangshu looked at the attribute requirements. Though it was only a Legendary title, its attribute requirements had already reached the 50-tier.

Then he looked at the qualifying requirements for the Crown of Supremacy.

Crown of Supremacy: Domain of Strength

Title Rank: Supreme

Qualification Requirements: Strength attribute > 50; Space evaluation passed

Title Ability: Grant corresponding authorities according to the different crowns.

Compared to these two titles, the requirements for hidden titles were clearly one rank higher than those for normal titles. Legendary titles had basically begun approaching the Crown of Supremacy.

The most unusual point of the Crown of Supremacy was likely its sole requirement of passing the Space evaluation.

That requirement had never appeared in any other title.

"In other words, the strength of the Crown of Supremacy and the qualifications to obtain it are both dynamically adjusted…"

"The Space is using this method to ensure that, no matter the era, the number of people entering the Crown of Supremacy contest remains within a controllable range."

"The Space needs to ensure the existence of Supreme Experts, but it also cannot allow too many Reincarnators to flood in during the later stages, causing the Crown of Supremacy contest to waste excessive resources."

Bai Cangshu’s mind raced. He immediately understood that the purpose of this arrangement was probably related to the Infinite Dimensional Space’s current circumstances.

The Space was using this method to lower the difficulty of producing Supreme Experts, allowing Reincarnators to use the Crown of Supremacy to foster wielders of powerful authorities even back when their overall strength had not yet reached the Fierce-tier.

Hidden titles, including these special titles that could only be triggered by multi-attribute Reincarnators, did not receive such treatment.

That was why, with his current attributes and strength, Bai Cangshu had yet to see an invitation for a multi-attribute Crown of Supremacy.

Bai Cangshu licked his lips. This arrangement had rekindled his interest in the Crown of Supremacy.

Because near the end of the previous cycle, he had gained power that nearly surpassed ordinary Supreme Experts through the immense burst of Kaio-ken and his longstanding enhancement path.

For a time, this had caused Bai Cangshu to lose interest in the so-called Crown of Supremacy. But now it seemed that the Space was also using its own way to "accommodate" this overly frail generation of Reincarnators.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Cangshu chose to accept the invitation for the hidden title Take Mikazuchi first.

Afterward, he chose to accept the Crown of Supremacy invitation.

You have accepted the invitation to the Hidden Legendary Title: Take Mikazuchi Title Contest.

Qualification check… complete.

Your item, Fatalism, has been lost.

Bai Cangshu watched the crown he had seized from Eternal Destiny disappear, but there was little reluctance in his eyes. He had already made his choice.

A beam of intense light appeared above the Private Space. Then Bai Cangshu once again felt as though time had fallen into stasis. His senses completely vanished, as if he were a worm frozen within amber.

Only when the roar of waves exploded by his ears and the stench of sulfur rushed into his nose did Bai Cangshu move his neck and regain the ability to move.

Mantra spread out at once.

Tōyama Nankai, codenamed Future, frowned. His Avatar was a delicate female figure dressed in Western-style clothing. Though top-tier Reincarnators rarely possessed something like pity,

in the dangerous Infinite Dimensional World, any choice that could increase one’s chances of survival, even by the slightest bit, was necessary.

To that end, Tōyama Nankai had even specifically studied female psychology and behavioral science to ensure his act would not be seen through.

As a rare dual-attribute specialized Reincarnator, Tōyama Nankai had never become Prideful because of his uniqueness. On the contrary, he lived with extreme caution.

That caution was the only reason he had survived the terrifying battle during Japan’s collapse.

When he witnessed the battle in Tokyo, he immediately used an item to leave Tokyo, abandoning his clan, abandoning his parents and relatives, and surviving alone.

"If I can obtain the power of Take Mikazuchi…"

Hidden Legendary Title: Take Mikazuchi, First Round of Selection

World: Crumbling Continent P103

Mission: Win

Special Mode: Attention. Battles in this world will yield no rewards. Before a Reincarnator dies, the Space will forcibly recall them.

The instant the Space prompt appeared, a layer of fine electric current swept through the air.

Tōyama Nankai’s spirits lifted. This was… an ability that used electrons for detection!

In an instant, he leaped backward. At the same time, he pointed both hands to either side of his body, and negative electrons immediately began reversing and neutralizing the electrons in the air.

No matter what opponent he faced, even though he was a "senior" who had become a Reincarnator in the previous cycle, he would not underestimate anyone.

Being able to enter the contest for the Take Mikazuchi title meant the opponent’s attributes already surpassed those of most Reincarnators.

Tōyama Nankai was incredibly fast. As Nen Aura enveloped his body, it concealed his presence while granting him speed like Lightning Flash.

He swiftly ran across the reefs beneath the volcano, attempting to spot his enemy first.

But the next moment, his steps suddenly froze. A massive Susanoo appeared several kilometers away from him.

"Susanoo? A Reincarnator enhanced with Uchiha Clan bloodline?"

"He meets the lightning energy system requirement, so he has Lightning Release Chakra…"

Tōyama Nankai instantly ran through possibilities in his mind. The other party likely possessed abilities such as Kirin or Lightning Release Chakra Mode. He should…

As he thought, he crossed several kilometers at lightning speed and appeared at the enemy’s side.

Beneath the Susanoo, the long-haired Uchiha Madara turned around, his Sharingan flickering as it locked onto the target.

Tōyama Nankai saw the enemy’s appearance, and his heart jolted. Uchiha Madara?

No, it had to be cosplay. The next moment, a violet-red sword light erupted from behind the mountain rocks.

Boom!

The rock beneath the volcano split apart like tofu as a girl in black armor charged forward with her sword.

High in the sky, Satoru Gojo hung upside down, looking down at the scene.

"How truly despicable. So all of us are actually part of that guy’s ability… This really is… Hah~"

Meanwhile, Bai Cangshu sat cross-legged atop the crater, watching with great interest as the fairly capable Reincarnator moved below.

"Dance more fiercely, little heart…"
