With the second fusion, the godhead increased Health Points and Mana Points by a million!
Now, Lin Chen's panel attributes were completely different from when he first entered the game:

Closing the panel, Lin Chen returned the way he came.
First, he was preparing to deal with the monster siege.
Second, he planned to check the Core Crystal Stele to see if he could exploit his Copy talent to get good items for free.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if any other players had good skills or talents, and if so, he would copy them.
That's right, players can possess more than one talent.
In the talent slot, besides the main talent, there are two sub-talent slots, making a total of three initial talent slots, with one additional slot every 10 levels.
Skills also have a slot limit; initially there are 20 skill slots, with one additional slot every 5 levels.
Lin Chen still didn't know how to obtain additional talents through the game.
But he was certain that he could definitely use his Copy talent to acquire other people's talents!
In fact, he had this idea long ago, but it was delayed because he was in a hurry to claim the first kill reward.
Lin Chen was in a pleasant mood, and equipped with light and agile boots, he walked briskly towards the base.
Eastern Plains area.
It seemed that due to the monster siege causing widespread panic, the number of people leveling near the base significantly decreased, with many fleeing into the base's defensive barrier.
"Look, it's Peerless Dust!"
"This guy finally appeared."
"How arrogant, not even hiding his game name, just swaggering back like that."
Players leveling in the eastern area saw Lin Chen and whispered among themselves, but no one dared to approach him.
After all, he was currently the number one player in the game.
There were also some female players, their eyes sparkling as they stared at Lin Chen, but unfortunately, Lin Chen didn't respond.
"He is Peerless Dust."
Outside the defensive barrier, the Poet of the Fist Fighting Department and his group happened to be returning for a break.
Seeing Peerless Dust return, the Poet of the Fist Fighting Department and his group couldn't help but stop, staring intently.
"Boss, do you think he might be that mysterious expert?"
In the team, the chubby young man named "Invincible Fat Tiger Conquers the Heavens" asked softly.
The Poet of the Fist Fighting Department nodded, "It should be him. Strong and powerful, a lone wolf. So far, in the eastern area of the First Survival Base, he's the only one who fits both criteria!"
As he spoke, even the Poet of the Fist Fighting Department's eyes showed a hint of fervor.
The strong are always admired!
Although many people were dissatisfied with Peerless Dust's words and actions, there were clearly still many in the crowd who felt the same way as the Poet of the Fist Fighting Department.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen unhurriedly walked towards the barrier, ignoring everyone and saying no pleasantries.
"Peerless Dust, what have you done?!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from inside the barrier.
In the eastern area, a murderous aura suddenly permeated the air!
Lin Chen stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Heh, there really are people not afraid of death who dare to step out, huh?
Rapid footsteps sounded.
The barrier's light curtain twisted like rippling water, and a large group of people emerged from it.
The opposing group numbered around a hundred, all openly displaying their levels and game names. Every one of them was above level 3 and wore non-novice equipment.
The leader was a venerable old man with a stern expression, carrying a longsword on his back.
Beside him were none other than the Hegemon-King of Western Chu from the First Survival Base, and other unfamiliar faces.
These people's game names revealed their identities.
"Mastering the Rivers and Mountains? Isn't that an expert from the Second Survival Base? Why is he here?!"
"And Nian Shao You Wei from the Fourth Survival Base, Qing Ming from the Fifth Survival Base, Mad Blade from the Third Survival Base... Good heavens, are the people on the rankings uniting to deal with Peerless Dust?"
"Only they could come here at this stage, right? Traveling from one survival base to another costs 500 survival points as a teleportation fee... Strange, the monster siege is our base's business, why are they joining in the fun?"
The onlookers felt bewildered, and just in case, they instinctively retreated to the surroundings.
The old man named Mastering the Rivers and Mountains waved his hand, and the people behind him spread out, taking up positions, subtly forming a circle of encirclement.
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains, along with Hegemon-King of Western Chu and other leaders, stepped forward a few paces to face Lin Chen.
"Peerless Dust, do you want to kill us all?"
Upon meeting, Hegemon-King of Western Chu took the initiative: "You haven't even looked at everyone's current levels and equipment. By recklessly initiating the monster siege, if the base is truly breached, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Young man, you are too reckless."
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains spoke in an old-fashioned tone: "The only solution now is for you to hand over all the first kill rewards, distribute them evenly among everyone, and raise everyone's strength, so we can help the First Base overcome this difficulty."
As he spoke, the old man unconsciously revealed the tone of a superior, suggesting that his status before entering the game was not ordinary.
"That's right! Hand over what you got!"
The experts from other bases showed greedy expressions and joined in the condemnation: "You got the BOSS first kill, you must have a lot of good equipment, right?"
"Grandpa, that longbow is so beautiful, it's mine, tell Peerless Dust to leave it for me!"
Beside Mastering the Rivers and Mountains, a girl named Ice Snow Dance loudly proclaimed, as if no one else was present.
She was Mastering the Rivers and Mountains' granddaughter, beautiful and charming, but with an extremely spoiled personality.
"Don't worry, dear granddaughter. Even if you want the stars in the sky, Grandpa will pluck them for you."
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains chuckled.
Hearing this, the arrogant girl became even more emboldened, staring at Lin Chen with eyes full of desire for the shadowless bow.
"So that's it, this is why you united and spent points to come here."
Lin Chen immediately understood.
It seems it wasn't just as simple as his words and actions displeasing certain people.
An innocent man is guilty only for possessing a treasure. These people actually took him for a fat sheep?
"Peerless Dust, don't try to resist."
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains had a confident demeanor, "Although you are currently the strongest, you are outnumbered. Even if you have the highest SSS-rank talent, so what? Do we not have high-tier talents?"
"Agree to our demands, and you will gain more benefits!"
A hint of excitement appeared in Mastering the Rivers and Mountains' eyes as he continued, "Each Dimensional World has a million players. Now, I have gathered the elites of World Number 1 together."
"You should understand what I mean, right? By uniting, we can suppress everything and rule this Dimensional World!"
"All players will obey us, and all resources will be controlled by us! The rules of this world will be set by us! You and I will be equals, sharing profits equally, what do you say?"
He wore a cunning expression, awaiting Lin Chen's answer.
Lin Chen hadn't decided yet, but the onlookers were already startled.
Some even gasped sharply!
Because what Mastering the Rivers and Mountains said was by no means alarmist; this old fox was well-versed in the art of monopoly!
If Peerless Dust agreed now, this group, having gathered the prominent figures on the level rankings, would find it no difficult task to rule the five survival bases.
People's hearts suddenly grew uneasy, and they all looked at Peerless Dust, frantically praying that he would not agree.
To be honest, Lin Chen wasn't surprised by these people's desire to rule the Dimensional World.
But to cooperate with me, do you even deserve it?
Lin Chen spoke without hesitation: "You ignorant old fool, be my equal? You don't deserve it!"
"Young and impetuous..."
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains laughed instead of getting angry.
He gently took the longsword from his back, and the team members immediately took up their stances.
"No matter, letting you suffer a bit will make things easier later."
Mastering the Rivers and Mountains pointed his longsword at Lin Chen and declared, "Before the game descended, this old man dominated both the underworld and the righteous path! I've seen countless young people like you! Always self-important, always thinking themselves unique, only willing to bow their heads after being battered and bruised by reality."
"I will make you understand that whether in game or reality, it's not just about strength, but also about influence, and... rules!"
After he finished speaking, skill glows flashed!
Mages' fireballs, Archers' energy arrows... various attacks swept forth, enveloping Lin Chen.
At the same time, numerous Warriors, Swordsmen, and Assassins approached Lin Chen in sequence and formation.
Boom!
The first wave of attacks landed!
-1
MISS!
-1
-55
-84
MISS!
...Dense damage numbers and MISS prompts continuously appeared, causing the attackers, who had been full of momentum, to suddenly freeze!
