"Decrees are not rules, they cannot specify ’something will happen,’ their greatest function is actually to cross ’limits,’ making things that might not have happened, happen with a higher probability, fewer restrictions, and lower consumption..."
Six days of rain in a week, a high probability of hitting someone on the forehead when throwing a punch, encountering surveillance when parking illegally, and meeting traffic police when driving under the influence.
In a sense, this is a low-grade version of making dreams come true, the kind that requires preconditions.
If this still does not illustrate its uniqueness, then the instances of "lowering thresholds" and "reducing effects" are even more obvious.
Normally, launching a rocket into the sky is a precise and dangerous task, but for a "Decree Rocket," all it takes is to complete the basic theoretical assembly, allowing it to physically ignite and ascend, and the rest is not much of an issue... The process is wrapped in a "Decree," and the input of a Decree starting condition can yield the corresponding result.
Therefore, when professionals integrate "Decrees," they are also integrating their past "accumulation," the stronger the cause, the stronger the result.
It is precisely for this reason that Decrees are often integrated abilities or abilities that have integrated and sublimated a series of past abilities into powerful explosive forces, such as the "Purgatory Fire Rose" previously shown by Lu Ping’an, which is a deadly double combination of poison and flame.
With one move, one command, the originally cumbersome power dispatch gives a direct result, and it has the priority and power to crush ordinary Cursed-level resistance, which is also a crushing advantage in actual combat.
At this level, in the eyes of some people, Lu Ping’an’s Decree is magical, but in fact, it is also what he has been doing all along.
He has always been working on "non-point investment" on "polluted items."
"The life module of Magic Plants and the ’Profession Module’ have many similarities in essence."
Since Lu Ping’an can invest the life module of the "essence" of life in Magic Plants, he naturally can try to invest Profession Modules in other creatures.
After all, these so-called "modules," in a sense, are also a kind of "order centered on knowledge and rules."
In fact, as a manifestation of his abilities, the "Profession Module" of the Taboo Library has been doing similar things all along.
What Lu Ping’an did was actually the same thing, only after the "Decree promotion," the power that originally existed only in theory went to reality.
"Like the inauguration of professionals, if the basic attributes of professionals do not reach the level, the failure rate of inauguration will be terribly high, or even impossible to succeed..."
In a sense, Lu Ping’an’s Enchantment on "Taboo Weapons" and "Quasi-Polluted Weapons" is also a guided inauguration, only the previous guidance was for living people, and now it is for "weapons."
This point originally existed only in theory because, in most cases, weapons are indeed not living things, while taboo items... they are truly "alive."
Taboo items are alive and will continue to grow and evolve, a reality that has been reiterated many times already.
Even to avoid the long-term radiation of new pollutants, various devices have been developed to isolate their influence.
What Lu Ping’an has done is to guide this "growth" and "new radiation" so that the evolution of pollution does not become disorderly but instead follows the order he has given.
It can be said that Lu Ping’an plugged in a module, but the actual content filler is still the "pollution" of the forbidden article itself.
Lu Ping’an’s life points are more of a nutritional supplement for growth, prompting it to erupt with more "pollution" ... In a sense, it is like force-feeding until it bursts.
The terrifying failure rate is understandable since it does not have a complete reason, and unqualified inaugurates will naturally fail time and time again.
But just like the previous repeated failures at the Taboo Library, after each failure, "pollution" and "orderly knowledge" will accumulate and become its "accumulation."
"Damn, failed again..."
In front of Lu Ping’an, his handy silver lance fell silent once more.
This was his fourth failed "investment," and each time the toll was terrifying, the life points he had gleaned from others had been almost exhausted.
However, this time, Lu Ping’an could feel what he wanted, the hopeful "spark" that flickered and died on the silver spear.
"Investment..."
Lu Ping’an went back to the Taboo Library and tinkered around for a while, completing the "Decree" transcription again.
One Decree had been transcribed four or five times, so he couldn’t help but be well versed in it.
The silver-white lance was wrapped in purple-blue blaze, with thorn-like magic lines growing on it.
When the brilliance flashed past, a faint blue flame slowly burned at the tip of the lance, like a candle.
"Finally succeeded..."
At this time, Lu Ping’an also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it didn’t work, he could only activate the B (money pit) plan of Heaven’s Fury and Resentment.
He quickly scanned the information about the Storm Lance and found what he wanted.
[Soul Suppressor’s Gunpowder Heavy Rifle (Silver Mid-position Cursed Item)]
The original Silver Lower-level cursed item was forcibly pulled up a large level, from the fourth-tier latter half to the fifth-tier.
There were no other changes except for the additional description.
[Ding Lan’s Purgatory Fire Rose (Silver Lower Ability): Summon a unique fire and poison dual-system blue flame to cause special damage to life.]
This was the core Decree of the Decree-level strongman Ding Lan, and it was also the core of her tactics and skills!
Originally, the "Pseudo-Decree" simulated by Lu Ping’an was slow, weak in power, inconvenient to use, and had no practical value in battle.

This time, as Lu Ping’an held the lance and gently swung it, the purple-blue poisonous flame enveloped it, a patent that had once belonged only to a particular person.
"It’s done." The moment he held the lance, Lu Ping’an knew that everything had succeeded, and the blueprint on his plan had become a reality.
Now, when Lu Ping’an controlled this weapon through "All Things Interact" and "Overload," making it a part of himself... Didn’t the Decrees "installed" on it also become his property?!
Perhaps, at this moment, with the lance in hand, Lu Ping’an could try to see whose blue flame was more poisonous in front of Ding Lan!
Maybe the repeatedly "overloaded" poisonous flame might indeed defeat the original version.
"Your Decree, I indeed cannot directly master it, but if it becomes the core of Taboo items, isn’t it the same as me completely mastering it?"
At this moment, Lu Ping’an truly demonstrated the power of "investing in life."
In a sense, he had changed his approach and held the Sophist’s ability to devour and replicate other lives in his hand... Judging by the results, the flexible Lu Ping’an overwhelmed the Sophist.
It could be said that the first function of his Decree was to devour the Sophist’s Decree and grow from it.
In Lu Ping’an’s hands, the lance tore apart the earth in an instant, surrounded by deadly and highly toxic "exclusive" blue flames.
Even more incredible was the fact that his left hand, now empty, was burning with the purplish-blue blaze, forming a huge torch, like a bonfire.
With a casual wave, Lu Ping’an threw out the "Fire Rose," manipulating its intensity and fluctuation as if it were his own Profession system.
The battle platform of Lu Ping’an had just installed a new tactical system.
If an ordinary professional got hold of this weapon, it would merely be a new function added to it... but for Lu Ping’an who already mastered this Decree, he could use it as a "source" to freely manipulate this new Decree!
Decrees that can only do logistics? That’s what outsiders see.
Perhaps, the road to Lu Ping’an’s strength had just begun.
"Ah, it’s so expensive, really expensive, I’ve run out of points again..." The only problem was that all of this was not only not free but also extremely costly!
"...Tsk, getting stronger by spending money, isn’t this like some Antarctic Divine Beast?"
