"Alright, perhaps such a grand death shouldn't be attempted after all, since if the supernova explosion were to occur in the stomach it would rely split him in two, and with the life force of an Awakener, he could probably hang on for a while. In other words, as long as he takes his potions in ti, there could still be hope for revival."
"But if it detonated in his mouth, then it's likely his head would be blasted away, and in that case, it'd be very hard to bring him back, and then he would have no choice but to start 'chanical Ascension Transford into a Female Body Robot to Start a Second Life.'"
"Of course, considering that he still has the Resentnt Puppet and the Proof of Dominator for protection, it's unlikely he'd end up in such a dire situation. After all, he's not interested in becoming the protagonist of a light novel—oh, wait, that should be 'heroine'. Not even if he could engage in yuri business would it be alright."
"Just previously, I was thinking about completing the small goal of boosting my Energy Value Limit to six thousand points, but after consuming this Microscopic Artificial Star, I've also completed the seven thousand point goal, and the next small goal can definitely be set at eight thousand points, though I'm unsure if it's possible to achieve that before ascending to Fourth Tier."
"In this regard, Zhang Yanhang could only hope for an upgrade from the forthcoming Divination Tarot Card, which he believed would help him significantly increase the Maximum Energy Value Limit by increasing the Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient."
"In this current increase of 1440 points to the Energy Value Limit, only nine hundred points were directly from the enhancent provided by the Microscopic Artificial Star, while the other five hundred and forty points ca from the 60% bonus to the Energy Value Limit provided by an SS-grade Scroll Dragon Bloodline."
"Zhang Yanhang now wanted more than ever to upgrade the Talent Level of his Scroll Dragon Bloodline, feeling that a 60% increase in the Energy Value Limit might still not be sufficient, but for now, there just wasn't ti."
"Compared to the Life Value Limit, my current Energy Value Limit is still sowhat lacking; a normal Third Tier Awakened should have an Energy Value Limit of 25×75=1875 points. Hence, my current Energy Value Limit is actually only 3.84 tis that of an Awakener of the Sa Tier."
"Well, perhaps it's not too low. They're nearly equal, considering my Life Value Limit is only 3.86 tis that of an Awakener of the Sa Tier. Have I really almost reached a difference of only 0.02 tis unknowingly?"
"Zhang Yanhang was planning to later increase both his Life Value Limit and Energy Value Limit to four tis that of a Sa Tier Awakened, returning to the peak status of the Second Tier Period. During his ti in Second Tier, his Life Value Limit had always been maintained at four tis that of an Awakener of the Sa Tier, and he would definitely have to continue this through Third Tier, even though he was soon to be promoted. However, the closer he got, the more he had to push himself to improve."
"The nuclear fusion state of this Microscopic Artificial Star could sustain for six days, subtracting today, there are still five days left; that is, it could help raise my Energy Value Limit by 5×60=300 points, but that's for later. Afterward, I just have to wait for it to increase automatically..."
"After dealing with the issues of the Microscopic Artificial Star, Zhang Yanhang quickly began to inventory his remaining items, coming down to the last two items, which were two purple-quality Divination Tarot Cards."
"Zhang Yanhang first picked up the Divination Tarot Card - Judgent to start examining it. Of course, not to check the attribute list, just to look at the illustration, and as expected, it was completely different from the original tarot cards."
"Zhang Yanhang rembered that the original tarot card of Judgent depicted a golden-haired angel with wings blowing the Doomsday Horn, above which hung an ancient English flag, the original version with a white background and red cross, indicating that the angel was likely from the British Puritan."
"And below this angel was a group of bodies whose clothes had completely rotted away, nakedly standing in their coffins, drifting in what seed to be a Sea of Souls, waiting for salvation from the angel, or rather, though the bodies had died, their souls were still fiercely stirring, desiring resurrection."
Zhang Yanhang was surprised to find that the Ashen World's version of the Divination Tarot Card - Judgent still featured an angel, albeit with a different style.
The original angel looked very formal, but the one in the Judgent version had a snarky expression, still blonde with wings on his back and even a halo over his head, but the overall vibe was one of disdain, filled with impatience as if eager to blow the horn and clock out on ti.
In other words, it was just like those workers who only show up to work so they can leave, seizing any chance to slack off.
Of course, the artistic style was also important; the original angel was depicted in a classic oil painting style, while the new version was in an ani style, looking very young, probably just a teenager. As an old otaku, Zhang Yanhang had to admit that he liked the Ashen World version of the angel.
This ani-style angel was still holding a horn and had already started blowing it, but the Sea of Souls and the dead were gone.
Instead, it depicted the Earth from an outer space perspective, clearly showing a massive fire outbreak within the atmosphere and a rising mushroom cloud.
"Goodness, when the angels of the British Puritan destroy the world, at least they pretend it's about 'saving the dead'. This ani version doesn't even bother with that; it's all about directly destroying the world, truly fitting for a worker angel who wants to finish on ti.
Moreover, the ani-style angel is indeed very modern, using nuclear bombs to destroy the world, or rather, to exterminate humanity."
Although he found this angel snarky, Zhang Yanhang strangely liked it, probably empathizing with this kind of worker, despite never having worked a day himself. But it must be ntioned, part of why he strived so hard was precisely because he didn't want to work, nor did he want to go bald at thirty or get fired at thirty-five.
After reviewing the Divination Tarot Card - Judgent, Zhang Yanhang then picked up the Divination Tarot Card - Wheel of Fortune to check it out.
The original Judgent had a giant wheel on the tarot card, which is the essence of the Wheel of Fortune, dominated by a sphinx at the top, a lethal serpent, embodying the Egyptian Dark God Seth, in the bottom left, and the renowned wolf-headed Death God Anubis in the bottom right.
And in the four corners around the Wheel of Fortune – top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right – were respectively painted four winged creatures holding books in the clouds; an angel, an eagle, a bull, and a lion, yes, all with wings.
The eagle represents water, the winged lion represents fire, the winged bull represents earth, and the angel represents air; they are the four fixed zodiac symbols of Scorpio (eagle), Leo (lion), Taurus (bull), and Aquarius (angel).
Simply put, they represent the elents of earth, water, wind, and fire, which, according to Ancient Greek philosophy, influence a person's psyche, health, and fate and naturally they were incorporated into the Wheel of Destiny as a form of Western geomancy.
While the core imagery in Zhang Yanhang's view of Judgent remained unchanged—a large wheel—instead of the ancient Greek symbols he didn't recognize on the original Wheel of Destiny, this new version of the wheel was marked with nurous '???', and only in the 'thank you for your patronage' area was a Lucky Hook marked.
Of course, the Lucky Hook might not be that important, what is more important might be the crowd around it; unlike the original version with dark gods and death gods and the like on the side, this Ashen World version had a large group of unrecognizable people around it.
But although he didn't recognize them, their hair was multicolored, which made them look anything but reputable—definitely from the second dinsion!
Well, to be precise, they were paper-thin characters from the second dinsion!
At the top of the roulette was a na for an anniversary celebration, and above the big roulette, at the very top of the entire drawing, there was a mysterious blue spherical energy body floating above.
Seeing the crowd around the roulette all looking troubled, Zhang Yanhang suspected whether the so-called anniversary celebration was just mocking the people below.
"No wonder they all look so miserable. If I encountered a roulette where the only known prize is the lucky hook, and all the other prizes are unknown and possibly even worse than the lucky hook, I would definitely not want to draw either."
Zhang Yanhang felt that the other prizes could very well be sothing like a braised lucky hook, which might be better but also worse than just a lucky hook.
However, overall, although he knew what exactly the lucky hook was, Zhang Yanhang still didn't quite understand this drawing. Compared to the previous Judgent, he only felt confusion about the Wheel of Fortune.
Thus, after briefly checking it, he gave up on understanding its aning and imdiately pulled out all the previously drawn Divination Tarot Cards from his waist bag and put them together with the recently drawn Divination Tarot Card·Judgent and Divination Tarot Card·Wheel of Fortune, trying to activate their set effects.
After feeling that the set effects should have been successfully activated, Zhang Yanhang imdiately picked a random Divination Tarot Card to start checking its attribute list.

[Description: Judgent is one of the 78 Tarot cards, ranked the 20th among the 22 Major Arcana cards. An angel sounds the horn to usher in the Judgent Day that destroys the old world and welcos the new world, spreading the gospel from above. The Archangel Michael blows the Doomsday Horn, announcing the ti for the ultimate Judgent...]
"Although I've only just put together three pieces of the set and haven't upgraded yet, I have to say, set equipnt is indeed strong. Originally, the Divination Tarot Card·Judgent only helped increase the maximum life value conversion coefficient by two points, but after activating the set effect, it imdiately increased by another four points, totaling six points that can be added to the maximum life value conversion coefficient.
Of course, correspondingly, if nothing unexpected happens, the increase I now have in maximum energy value conversion coefficient should also have grown to six points."
Moreover, although the maximum life value limit conversion coefficient and the maximum energy value limit conversion coefficient are indeed very important, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that after activating the set effects Mother of All Things and Abyssal Purgatory, the skill cooldown ti had further decreased by 10%.
"Initially, when I only had the Divination Tarot Card·Pope and had not activated the set effect, the skill cooldown ti was reduced by only 5%, but now it has increased to 15%, which is quite good."
As the only skill that Zhang Yanhang currently had that affected the skill cooldown ti was All Four Elents are Void, he quickly calculated the benefit this reduction in cooldown ti brought to him; his All Four Elents are Void's cooldown ti had decreased from 28.5 seconds to 25.5 seconds, a reduction of three seconds again.
"Although it's not a huge reduction, overall, it has almost been reduced by about one-sixth, and as long as I keep making efforts, there's a very good chance that I can achieve a 100% reduction in cooldown ti."
However, this will definitely take quite a lot of ti, and at least Zhang Yanhang felt that there wasn't much hope for making All Four Elents are Void a skill without cooldowns in Fourth Tier, while in Fifth Tier, it might still be a bit more plausible.
Of course, the specific situation could change at any ti, which is uncertain. Who knows, he might suddenly get so equipnt that can also reduce cooldown ti along the way?
Just like Zhang Yanhang never thought he would be able to advance to Fourth Tier in just one day.
