Astral Apostle

Chapter 124: Your Grandpa Wood Is Back! (1)

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up.

“As expected, it’s related to the number of Eternal Apostles. The more apostles I clear, the more I can expand the apostle slots… It’s not free, but this proves I can increase the slots easily. It depends on how many times I can clear the life objectives.

“After expanding the slots, I can choose not to release the Eternal Apostles and use them all to create new apostles instead. That’s also feasible.”

Zhou Jing had been guessing the mechanism of the Apostle slot during the cooldown period. At this moment, when he saw the information on the interface, he immediately had many thoughts.

If there were two Astral Apostles that existed at the same time, he would only be able to control one of them personally. There was a high chance that the other one would be in a placement state. Every time he traveled, he could choose which apostle to project on this time and take turns.

However, he felt that he should not be able to change the Apostle that he was controlling at any time during the launch. He had to return to the preparatory space to “change his character.”

Therefore, the Eternal Apostle that had been removed

from the upper limit was most suitable for long-term placement. As long as he found a suitable routine, he basically did not have to worry about it anymore. Instead, he could free up his hands and work hard to let his new apostle clear the objectives.

This way, the Eternal Apostles in the storage could become the sponsor of the new apostles. Like a main account with a side account, their growth would be smoother.

On the other hand, if the Eternal Apostle was at a critical juncture, the new apostle could also serve as a pawn and take the fall for the Eternal Apostle.

“In short, as long as there are many apostles in an Astral Realm at the same time, they can link up and help each other… But, I have to figure out how an apostle who is personally controlled can command the other Apostles when they meet.”

Zhou Jing’s heart surged as he thought to himself.

He noticed a situation. After clearing the round, he could not inherit the cultivation results of the previous apostle to the new apostle like in the death round.

This meant that as long as an Eternal Apostle was created, the next new Apostle would be a blank piece of paper. Only the Astral Apostles who failed and died could pass down their cultivation results for free until they completed their life objectives.

Zhou Jing was mentally prepared for this situation to occur.

After all, the nature of the Eternal Apostles was very different. They could continue to grow; after death, they only needed to consume resources to be reborn. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that they could not pass on their cultivation results to the new apostles.

Zhou Jing pondered for a while and felt this was good. The extraordinary power system of the Astral Apostle had a limit. The new apostle was a blank piece of paper, which meant that there were endless possibilities. He could try to take more routes.

This was more suitable for converting power to the main body.

“If I clear the objectives using an Apostle who has similar abilities as my Eternal Apostle, then it will overlap with the conversion ability of the main body and lose its value.

“Therefore, when developing new apostles, I can consider letting new apostles cultivate a new supernatural system. Unless there are special circumstances, it’s not appropriate to have too many Eternal Apostles with the same power system. One to three should be enough. This way, the cost-effective ratio will be maximized…”

Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered as he came to a realization.

Currently, his main body’s skills and transformation came from Jason. He could let Jason accumulate the mutant blood enhancements, which would allow the main body to also have the qualification to utilize the subsequent abilities. This was the most convenient.

Under such circumstances, if he got another Eternal Apostle who also followed the [Mutant Blood Warrior] system, the number of enhancements would not surpass Jason’s. This would be of limited use to his main body.

“But, this is because my main body has become stronger. From the perspective of expanding the benefits of resources, clearing the level is still the most important. There’s no need to be harsh on the combination of the Eternal Apostle’s abilities.”

Clearing the level was like opening a branch business. The more branches there were, the more profitable it would be. The most convenient way to open a branch was naturally to replicate the original “business model.” It was easier to walk the experienced path.

Therefore, when it came to the combination of abilities and the efficiency of clearing the level, finding a balance was mainly based on the current needs of his main body.

If he urgently needed to strengthen his main body and match his abilities, he would prioritize nurturing a new power system for his apostles. If he was not in a hurry, he would prioritize clearing the levels and accumulating resources.

However, he hadn’t heard of any new supernatural systems in the Mutant World for the time being. If he couldn’t find one, he could only continue to let the new apostles take the [Mutant Blood Warrior] path. Fortunately, the Apostle’s mechanism was very suitable for this kind of strengthening system that would result in sudden death if one failed. It had a unique advantage.

Zhou Jing looked at the interface and fell into deep thought. He did not immediately open up the Apostle slot.

He planned to release Jason first and kidnap Lutt to squeeze out all the information. Then, he would find a stable development route and place him there. Then, he would create a new apostle. This way, he could temporarily save on the cost of expansion.

Therefore, even though he had opened a new apostle slot, he could not use it right now. Thus, he was not in a hurry to open it.

He felt that he had to be as meticulous as possible in the allocation of resources. He had not reached the point where he could squander them freely.

Zhou Jing looked at the resources he had accumulated.

[Astral Realm Points: 9,510]

[Information State Particles: 140]

This was Jason Wood’s net profit from developing in the Mutant World for more than half a year.

Initially, he did not have that many. However, after killing the “alien lifeform” Buzz Cut, he had absorbed more than 3,600 Astral Points from the other party. That was how he managed to get fat with points.

The Astral Points had almost reached 10,000. The starting capital he had saved up was much more than the previous apostle… Zhou Jing was satisfied.

“Let’s see if there’s any difference between re-launching and creating a new apostle…”
