With the end of the Holy Grail War, the Xuanyuan Sword was also due for a reset.
So, the answer would be known after a brief wait.
Soon, time ticked by.
The gacha machine’s reset time arrived, and the Xuanyuan Sword vanished.
However…
The Xuanyuan Sword in the Gate of Babylon remained!
“Success!”
Bai Ye couldn’t help but swing his arm. He had successfully exploited a bug. Weapons from the gacha machine could also be used to fill the Gate of Babylon.
Still, there were some issues.
First, the Gate of Babylon prioritized quantity over quality.
Simply put, for the Gate of Babylon, there was no difference between a golden quality weapon obtained from the gacha machine using God Stone Shards and a randomly drawn white quality weapon; both simply added +1 to the count.
This was quite different from the Steel Slime.
However, it was ultimately a good thing, as it meant he had a chance to fill the Gate of Babylon every day.
Second, not all weapons could be recorded by the Gate of Babylon; only melee weapons could.
Currently, Bai Ye still had the Pulse Dual Pistols.
Firearms were undoubtedly weapons, but the Pulse Dual Pistols would not be recorded into the Gate of Babylon, indicating that only melee weapons could be recorded.
Thinking about it, Bai Ye felt the Gate of Babylon was acceptable.
Bai Ye’s ultimate desire was undoubtedly the Ea Sword, but the Gate of Babylon was also terrifying if it had enough weapons.
After all…
The quality enhancement had no upper limit!
This meant that golden quality was not the limit for the Gate of Babylon. As long as enough weapons were recorded, it could become a super-quality Noble Phantasm.
So…
Good news: As long as there were enough recorded weapons, it would be no problem to confront mechs or similar entities.
Bad news: It required a large number of recorded weapons!
Bai Ye once again felt the pleasure mixed with pain.
“Let’s draw from the gacha machine to calm my nerves.”
Bai Ye threw out the gacha machine and began to draw.
One green…
One blue…
Another ordinary day.
The good news was that the green gacha was an arm blade, and the blue gacha was a flying sword named "Fei Yan," both of which could be recorded into the Gate of Babylon and devoured by the Steel Slime.
It was considered a good omen for an ordinary day.
Then…
A golden gacha!
It was impossible to feed the Steel Slime to golden quality using God Stone Shards, at least not yet. Bai Ye’s God Stone Shards were completely insufficient.
However, with 500,000 growth value…
Bai Ye felt that with effort, it wasn't hopeless.
As for the God Stone Shard itself…
It would be a lie to say Bai Ye wasn't pained; God Stone Shards were precious, and collecting them to form God Stones was the key to leaving the world battlefield.
But this was relative. Only by consuming God Stone Shards could he continuously grow stronger, and only by becoming stronger could he find ways to obtain more God Stone Shards.
Bai Ye deeply understood the principle of “you can’t catch a cub without entering the tiger’s den.”
In his previous life, Bai Ye had often wondered if he would have been able to enter the central area, the central tower, and leave the world battlefield earlier if he hadn't spent so many God Stone Shards on the gacha machine.
The answer was no.
Because if Bai Ye hadn't spent so many God Stone Shards on the gacha machine, he wouldn't have survived!
While thinking, Bai Ye spun the gacha machine.
As the machine turned, a golden gacha soon dropped out.
Nanming Lihuo (Immortal Sword) (Gold): Forged from true metal from the West and the Lihuo of the South, it fuses metal and fire during refinement, transforming from tangible to intangible through nineteen complete cycles.
Effect: Sword Rainbow Pinnacle (When the sword is released, it transforms into a long rainbow attack, exceptionally brilliant).
Exorcise Evil and Avoid Disaster (Has a restraining effect on all demons and monsters).
Flowing Light Through the Heavens (The sword light explodes, transforming into one hundred and eight dazzling lights for attack).
Lihuo Shakes the Heavens (Forms a sword array with Lihuo, integrating offense and defense).
Bai Ye’s eyes lit up as he looked at the item in the golden gacha. This was an immortal sword no less powerful than the Xuanyuan Sword. It required no enhancements or buffs; the Nanming Lihuo Sword itself was a synonym for power.
Bai Ye threw the sword to the Steel Slime, and then…
“Steel Slime has devoured Nanming Lihuo and gained Devour Growth.”
“Steel Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 125550 / 500000”
A Nanming Lihuo sword increased the Steel Slime’s growth value by seventy thousand, equivalent to several ordinary golden quality items.
If he had this luck every day, Bai Ye would not only be able to quickly raise the Steel Slime’s quality to red, but he would also have plenty of God Stone Shards left over.
“Wait…” Bai Ye’s eyes suddenly lit up. “If I use the Steel Slime to synthesize, can I create a new weapon and add it to the Gate of Babylon?”
Bai Ye acted immediately. He had the Steel Slime materialize the Ningshuang Sword and the Nanming Lihuo, and then began the synthesis.
“You initiated synthesis, success rate: 95%”
“What the heck!” Bai Ye stared at the screen in shock. “There’s a success rate?”
Then…
“You have completed weapon synthesis, obtaining a new weapon: Nanming Lihuo (Cold).”
Bai Ye checked the screen. After synthesis, the Nanming Lihuo had not changed much, only gaining the Ningshuang effect.
Ningshuang: When the flying sword attacks, it carries frost, with a certain chance to trigger slow, frostbite, and freezing effects.
The tier difference between the Ningshuang Sword and Nanming Lihuo was too large. It was less of a synthesis and more of an appended Ningshuang characteristic.
But the key was…
The Gate of Babylon…
Currently recorded weapons: Nanming Lihuo, Nanming Lihuo (Cold).
Current quality enhancement: 8 / 15.
Among the weapons recorded by the Gate of Babylon, there were both Nanming Lihuo and Nanming Lihuo (Cold).
“Aha!” Bai Ye suddenly became excited. “I can cheat again!”
Bai Ye had already figured out how to quickly upgrade the Gate of Babylon!
The synthesis of the Steel Slime…
Could be disassembled!
Bai Ye disassembled Nanming Lihuo Han, and it reverted into two weapons. Then, Bai Ye chose to merge other weapons with Nanming Lihuo, but…
“What’s going on?”
Bai Ye stared at the screen, stunned.
“You initiated synthesis, success rate: 5%”
Bai Ye chose to synthesize the famous sword Bloodthirst with Nanming Lihuo, but…
The success rate was only a meager 5%, instantly dumbfounding Bai Ye. What was the difference between this and being told directly that the synthesis had failed?
Bai Ye refused to believe it and switched to the Shadow War Axe, and then Bai Ye was completely dumbfounded.
“You initiated synthesis, success rate: 1%”
Good heavens, it dropped from 5% to 1%.
Bai Ye stroked his chin and thought. He then changed the synthesized weapon back to the Ningshuang Sword.
“You initiated synthesis, success rate: 100%”
