Lin Mu looked at the incredibly complex and luxurious attribute panel with great interest, sighing and exclaiming from time to time. Compared to this, his own shabby attributes were like the difference between heaven and earth.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Mu first clicked on the equipment attributes. He wanted to see this so-called God-tier equipment; it wasn't something an ordinary person could see.

After reading the equipment, Lin Mu quickly glanced at the skills

[Yellow Springs Doutian Nine Formations]: Consists of nine formations. The main formation is the Yellow Springs Doutian Formation; the secondary formations are the Heaven-Covering, Earth-Carrying, Wind-Rising, Cloud-Drooping, Dragon-Flying, Tiger-Wing, Bird-Soaring, and Snake-Coiling formations. It uses the essence, energy, and spirit of people as its foundation, supplemented by spiritual objects, and possesses heaven-shaking and earth-shattering power. The damage of the formations varies based on the level of the soldiers and the level of the spiritual objects.

[Divine Strategy]: Active skill, cannot be upgraded. After activation, the combat power of the commanded legion increases by 100% for 10 hours.

[Divine Calculation]: Power of a deity's lineage, cannot be upgraded. Possesses the ability to observe astronomical phenomena and destiny. Has a small chance to discover General Stars and Strategy Stars. Can only be used once per natural month.

[Military God]: God of the military, power of hellish training and conquest, cannot be upgraded. [Hellish Training], passive skill, greatly increases the efficiency of training soldiers by 1000%, with a high probability of triggering soldiers' talents; [Power of Conquest], active skill, cannot be upgraded. In offensive warfare, actively increases soldiers' morale by 100% and increases the chance of a critical hit for 10 hours.

He originally wanted to check Feng Zhong's talent, but it wasn't activated. Could it be that his level wasn't high enough? Lin Mu felt slightly conflicted, but also very expectant.

Feng Zhong's potential should be Rank 9 [Wuqu]. After the territory's God-tier attribute bonus, it should have reached Rank 10, but it was actually sealed. Had he hit the ceiling?

He temporarily gave up on delving into that.

However, what impressed Lin Mu the most was the [Military God] skill, which actually increased the efficiency of training soldiers by 10 times. This meant that if it took a soldier 10 months to train to their potential limit, under Feng Zhong, it would only take 1 month to complete such a grueling feat. This was terrifying. Lin Mu thought about having millions of soldiers in the future; compared to other players, he trembled uncontrollably—trembling because he possessed such a divine skill, and trembling because they would fear him.

Feng Zhong's attributes were more complex than anything Lin Mu had ever seen in his previous life. A whole long list of attributes, dazzling and confusing; Lin Mu didn't even know the specific information for many of them.

Lin Mu could only look and analyze slowly

First was the courtesy name. Feng Zhong had one, which meant his talent had been unlocked, but what was this "not activated" status? Did it need to be activated manually? Was it an active talent?

Then there was Feng Zhong's origin. If Lin Mu guessed correctly, Feng Zhong should be a descendant of [Feng Hou], one of the three great ministers under the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. He was actually a descendant of a deity; his background was incredibly impressive!

As for the potential attribute, Lin Mu knew about the Rank 9 [Wuqu] (Sealed). In his previous life, players had summarized this special attribute. There were roughly 9 ranks, from low to high, Rank 1 to Rank 9, with Rank 9 being the highest. Feng Zhong's potential was Rank 9, and because there was no information above Rank 10, it was currently in a sealed state.

When Lin Mu clicked on the sealed text, the system prompt followed

"—System Prompt: Lord Lin Mu, because your territory has special territory attributes acting on character potential attributes, Feng Zhong reached Rank 9 potential. After the special attribute bonus, it exceeded the potential activation limit of this world, so it was processed as sealed, waiting for a special world trigger to be unsealed!"

So it exceeded the limit. What was a "special world"? He really didn't understand... He gave up on worrying about it.

In the potential section, there was a special attribute, [Wuqu]. This represented his life destiny.

The [Life Destiny System] was a hidden system. Only when players unlocked the Life Destiny System themselves would their talents be activated, their potential displayed, and they could take a courtesy name.

Having a courtesy name meant receiving higher respect when talking or interacting with native NPCs. This was also a symbol of being "above others." People without courtesy names were looked down upon by native NPCs. In layman's terms, to some noble families, players were equivalent to bottom-tier people from humble backgrounds.

Lin Mu hadn't met the conditions to unlock the [Life Destiny System] yet, but it would unlock slowly in the future.

Lin Mu knew that in "Mythical Three Kingdoms," life destinies were divided into many types

[Life Destiny]: There are 32 Mortal Life Destinies and 1 Saint Life Destiny. Specifically

[Central Life Destinies] (5): [White Tiger], [Azure Dragon], [Vermilion Bird], [Black Tortoise], [Qilin].

[Eastern Life Destinies] (12): [Si Snake], [Xu Dog], [Wei Sheep], [Wu Horse], [Zi Rat], [Chou Ox], [Hai Pig], [Shen Monkey], [Mao Rabbit], [Yin Tiger], [Chen Dragon], [You Rooster].

[Heaven-Changing Life Destinies] (15): [Pojun], [Qisha], [Tanlang], [Sun], [Moon], [Tianji], [Tiantong], [Lianzhen], [Ziwei], [Tianfu], [Wuqu], [Tianxiang], [Jumen], [Tianliang], [Wenqu].

[Saint Life Destiny]: The legendary life destiny of immortals. It was unknown if it was true or false, just a legend circulating in the world.

Each life destiny was a life palace.

Most players currently didn't know about this system; they hadn't reached the conditions to unlock it.

According to his experience, there were huge differences between life destinies. The most noble were undoubtedly the Central Life Destinies. There were also many extraordinary life destinies among the Heaven-Changing ones, such as [Pojun] and [Tanlang]. However, because everyone also had a level of potential, there were combinations.

If one had high potential and a rare, noble life destiny, the combination would be extraordinary.

In his previous life, he heard that some players had special detection skills and discovered part of Liu Bei's attributes, finding that he had Rank 9 potential and occupied the [Qilin] life palace.

High potential plus a noble life destiny—no wonder he was one of the strongest warlords and achieved such extraordinary results.

It was not an ordinary life.

It had always been said that noble lives make noble people, and lowly lives make lowly people. In "Mythical Three Kingdoms," this was truly displayed to the fullest. The degree of nobility was clearly defined, and there was no way around it; it couldn't be changed by subjective initiative.

However, the "Mythical World" was incredibly magical, with abundant Qi Luck and fortune. There were those who defied the heavens and changed their destiny. It was just potential and life destiny; maybe they could be changed!

The Great Dao has forty-nine paths, leaving one line of hope. The unlocking of the [Life Destiny System] could also change with a player's encounters or sacrifices.

In his previous life, Lin Mu heard of a player who spent a huge price to go to the Han Dynasty's Imperial Ancestral Temple, asking a mysterious person to take action to defy the heavens and change their destiny, officially unlocking and raising their unactivated potential and life destiny to Rank 8, occupying the [Tiantong] life destiny among the Heaven-Changing ones. That event caused a huge sensation, and countless people watched it, Lin Mu included.

This also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the vast number of players, and many unpredictable changes occurred.

Players also learned that potential and life destiny could be changed.

Potential and life destiny were the most important attributes of a character and played a very large role. The size of the potential restricted the amount of origin attributes gained after leveling up. For example, at the beginning, a player could gain 4 points of attributes per level, representing their hidden potential as Rank 4. Like Feng Zhong's potential, Rank 9, every time he leveled up, he could gain 9 points of origin attributes. The gap between them was like a chasm.

The gap in potential was also the fundamental difference between players and historical fierce generals.

In his previous life, very, very few players could defeat a top-tier historical general in a duel. He had never heard of it; he had only heard of them being successfully recruited.

In Lin Mu's eyes, this could also be considered a restriction placed on players by the rules of heaven and earth.
