Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

Soon, half of the ordinary second-class players were killed.

The remaining players gave up resisting...

Faced with third-class players, they couldn't run, and they couldn't fight back. They could only drop their weapons and kneel, begging for mercy.

"Spare us!"

"We were coerced. We didn't know the truth earlier!"

"Lord David, please forgive me!"

One after another, they pleaded desperately.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, who was clearly a high-ranking member of one of the families, spoke very humbly, "Mr. David, how do you wish to deal with these remaining people? Their lives are yours to command!"

Sterl looked at the scene coldly and then turned to Teresa, "You arrange for some to be added to our organization."

"You don't need to go personally. I have another task for you."

Teresa, upon hearing this, was slightly excited, "Yes, Master!"

She was extremely delighted! Seeing Sterl's power surge again made her happier than becoming stronger herself.

The third-class players from various families stood humbly to the side, waiting for Sterl to finish his orders before approaching him.

"Honorable warrior, we deeply apologize. It seems there has been some misunderstanding earlier."

These family members were very quick to adapt to the situation. Although their family heads had been killed, could they possibly resist David now?

Ordinary players from various worlds might think about taking a gamble, hoping David was depleted of energy and unable to fight any longer. If they won the gamble, they could kill David!

But for family players, there was no need for such a gamble! They valued their lives too much! Losing the gamble meant total annihilation, so they were unwilling to take the chance.

Moreover...

"Lord David, since our family heads crazily attacked you and were killed on the spot, why not become our family head instead?"

These people used their ingenious wisdom: if you can't beat them, join them! After all, the strength of each family was maintained by the bloodline of powerful individuals!

David, whether he was truly a second-class player or someone hiding his true strength, could easily kill a bunch of third-class players! Having him join the family would be a huge gain!

The family's strength would actually rise to a higher level in the future.

As long as Lord David was willing to join the family and share his genetic material, they could instantly produce many highly talented players!

If David was truly second-class, his offspring would have incredibly domineering talent. If he was hiding his strength, it wouldn't be bad either. He was at least an extremely strong third-class player, possibly close to legendary! His offspring wouldn't lack talent either.

The family would win either way!

In a few years, when the next generation of players matured, these families would benefit from their misfortune and become the strongest forces!

Even though the current third-class players would soon retire due to talent limitations, the massive benefits brought before the new generation ascended to third-class would be enough to fatten up many of them!

In these families' eyes, it was a win-win situation!

David could also sit atop several of the strongest family forces!

You see, among the human race on Earth, only the top 23 sequence bases have legendary figures, and the only demigod is from Base Zero.

With the power of several families in his hands, plus the next generation cultivated from his genetic material, David could directly wield significant influence among the human race on Earth!

He would be the foremost beneath the legends!!

The numerous third-class family players were confident, believing that David had no reason to refuse such an offer.

Sterl was taken aback. He hadn't expected he'd have to sell his genetic material. Simply listening to the family players' conditions, he found himself somewhat tempted.

In the game [Transcendence], there were many contracts with binding power. If these family members were willing to submit to him, he wouldn't have to worry too much about their loyalty.

Moreover, this would significantly boost Sterl's power, giving him a direct command over a group of third-class subordinates.

However, Teresa quickly whispered a few words to him, and Sterl's face darkened.

As someone who has transmigrated, he actually possesses a certain moral fastidiousness. At the very least, he is not so casual when it comes to his descendants.

Producing thousands or tens of thousands of little Sterls, letting them fight each other, and selecting the best?

Sterl couldn't accept it. He wasn't the type to give up immense benefits for a small sense of moral cleanliness, but the problem was, he would have to wait for decades. By that time, Sterl suspected he might already be a god!

Is this tiny benefit worth compromising his morals??

"I won't provide my genetic material to you." Sterl said, his face darkened.

The family members were dumbfounded. They had never encountered someone like this.

Providing genetic material didn't cost him anything.

He could just wait and cultivate a powerful group of subordinates—what's wrong with that?

Teresa was also a bit surprised. She had only briefly informed her master about the obligations and benefits of becoming a family head.

She didn't expect Lord Sterl to refuse for such a somewhat inexplicable reason.

The family members' faces turned a bit ugly. It seemed there was no room for negotiation: "So you're refusing our offer, it seems we were aiming too high."

Their expressions turned speechless, as if thinking this David must be out of his mind.

However, Sterl merely sneered: "Did you misunderstand something? Do you think you can negotiate with me?"

With that!

Boom!!

Another Celestial Stars attack smashed into the ground, directly overturning those family third-class players who seemed ready to leave! They were extremely disheveled! Although they weren't hit directly, the blazing flames unleashed by this volley of Celestial Stars still set their clothes and equipment on fire.

Each third-class player looked uncertain and alarmed, struggling to extinguish the flames.

They stood there, utterly terrified.

"Lord David, what do you mean by this?"

"We've already shown you our friendship and respect. Why are you doing this?"

...

Sterl coldly replied: "Today, you all must pledge your allegiance to me, or die here."

Initially, he hadn't thought of this, but now, after some reflection, having a few family forces under his command would indeed be quite convenient.

First, he could take Linna and Rayna along for proper development, and second, the various resources Sterl often crazily farmed could be distributed among the human race on Earth with the help of these families.

These families, commanding high positions within the human race on Earth, could sell the resources at good prices without any markdowns!

So today, these people would either submit or die!

At this moment, the faces of the third-class family players turned pale! However, this sudden turn of events somewhat lifted the spirits of the ordinary players from various bases.

From their perspective, the most disgusting ones were the family third-class players who had sided with David to kill them!

They had refused to join forces with David for the sake of these families' interests, only to be betrayed without hesitation!

Now, seeing the family members being threatened, the ordinary players couldn't help but cover their mouths, trembling with laughter.

"Finally getting what they deserve!"

"Poetic justice!"

...

The family players' faces turned from green to white and back again. Just as Sterl was considering whether to flex his muscles one more time, these people suddenly made up their minds and solemnly said, "Fine! We are willing to acknowledge you as our master!"

Family players specialized in being cowards!

They valued their lives far more than the average player! These people often enjoyed tributes from various players in their families and had long lost the courage to fight to the death in instances or quests.

At this moment, Teresa hesitated, "Master, I don't have enough contract scrolls on me."

"No problem." Sterl nodded casually, then looked at the family players, "You don't lack contract scrolls, do you?"

As he spoke, a faint blue flame appeared on his palm.

"We have them!"

"We have them!"

The numerous third-class family players could only smile obsequiously.

Meanwhile, Teresa and Daphne were already numb to it.

They watched the elders from various families, whom they had to bow to as children, now wearing flattering smiles, utterly humble.

Sterl didn't even bother to glance at them, merely leaving with Teresa. After a moment, he waved to summon Daphne nearby.

"Did Lord David call me?"

The young girl was a bit excited, and Sterl nodded slightly. Though Daphne hadn't signed a loyalty contract with him, she was fairly reliable.

"Discuss with these families." Sterl ordered, "on how to integrate their forces into mine."

As he spoke, he patted her shoulder. After ascending to godhood last time, he could now use divine power through muscle memory and freely manipulate the law power.

At this moment, Sterl infused Daphne with a strand of Moon Law.

If the third-class family players tried to resist or cause trouble, this strand of Law Power would be enough for Daphne to kill them all!

The third-class family players were initially overjoyed that the negotiation had shifted from the invincible David to a mere "minion" of the Ironheart family.

However, for some reason, when Daphne stood before them, they felt an inexplicable fear, as if the young girl's body harbored something extremely lethal!
