Chapter 195: Professional Awakening! Rebirth!
After a brief moment of sensing his surroundings, Sterl made a decisive choice...
He raced back to the base at full speed, completely ignoring the flattering expressions and attempts to speak from the craftsmen and Beck.
Upon returning to the warehouse, he activated the core once again!
Everything around him dissolved into chaos before transforming back into the island setting of the Hall of Valor's ultimate trial!
"Thank goodness, I'm not too late." Sterl stood up immediately, realizing that nothing around him had changed.
The fragile crafts he had strategically placed at the edge were still intact.
It was clear that the other players had bought Sterl a considerable amount of time. He had spent extra time absorbing and digesting the unknown item formed by the white mist, making him worry that the boss might have already killed his in-game character. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.
Sterl looked into the distance and soon spotted the other players. They seemed to be gathered in one area, collectively resisting the boss's attacks. It seemed they weren't foolish enough to be picked off one by one.
Sterl felt quite relieved, realizing that the players' unity had bought them much more time.
Instead of rushing to join the players in their battle against the boss, Sterl decided to check his own attributes first.
He opened his panel and examined it.
Sure enough, several changes had occurred within his body.
First of all, his race, originally listed as Human, now had a faint glow around the name, appearing more lustrous.
This change was purely visual. Although Sterl was puzzled, he lacked the information to understand its significance and decided to set it aside for now.
Additionally, he had gained a new passive skill of [Special] quality:
[Primordial Body (Special)]
Description: It is said to be an extremely perfect state transformed from countless racial bodies. Some races are rumored to be born with a Primordial Body.
Effect: Increases your experience efficiency by 50%, accelerates the proficiency gain rate of all skills by 100%, and unlocks partial Law Power, divine authority, and skill learning permissions.
"Not bad, huh?" Sterl nodded slightly as he read the new passive skill. Although it was an unexpected bonus, its effects were quite practical. One effect increased experience efficiency, meaning Sterl could now level up more with the same amount of experience.
Another effect was the accelerated accumulation of skill proficiency, which was also quite useful. However, proficiency for legendary abilities and laws no longer displayed.
The use of Divine Power and divine authority didn't involve proficiency. It entirely depended on the user's own accumulation.
Initially, Sterl thought the skill's boost would be limited.
Fortunately, after sensing it, more detailed information appeared. Under the Primordial Body's effect, Sterl was akin to a "Heavenly Spirit Body," making everything he did easier. He would master Law Power, Divine Power, and divine authority faster.
"So powerful?!" His expression shifted from mild surprise to extreme excitement.
To know that Gloria could develop so many abilities with Moon Law, yet Sterl couldn't even come close—besides the difference in their accumulation of Law Power, it was mainly due to proficiency.
Sterl felt that with this [Primordial Body], his combat power would soon increase significantly. He would be able to develop new functions for his trump cards, [Moon] and [Flowing Water].
As for the last point of this passive skill, the unlocking of certain Law Power, skills, and divine authority permissions, it left Sterl a bit puzzled. Did this mean that without this passive skill, some powerful abilities would be unattainable?
He had a vague feeling...
Something seemed off!
Wouldn't that mean that truly powerful players must have unlocked this [Primordial Body]?
But before he used the white mist to remove the [Forbidden Poison], Sterl had never even heard of this term!
He was only confused for a few seconds before shifting his attention away.
After all, the world of [Transcendence] was vast. The Vastor continent he was on was just a part of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, and even the Hall of Valor's influence couldn't cover the entire Crystal Barrier Galaxy.
There were too many things he hadn't heard of.
He quickly opened another panel.
At this moment, Sterl's long-awaited professional awakening was finally complete.
His attributes had increased significantly, but he didn't bother to look closely. Instead, he activated his now-cooled-down skill point allocation ability.
"Increase my authority heart!" Sterl's eyes were filled with excitement.
Then, a multicolored light enveloped his entire body!
Sterl felt as if countless crisp sounds were exploding in his mind, as if all his meridians and voids were resonating in harmony.
Simultaneously, he could feel the so-called authority heart taking shape within him, gradually merging into a liquid form and fully integrating with him!
In his mental realm, his consciousness transformed the galaxy, splitting it into four!
If earlier, the simulated universe in his mental realm was akin to a single galaxy, it had now expanded into four galaxies!
Starshine illuminated the vast expanse, boundless and majestic!
The original galaxy, which had a mere handful of planets with traces of humans and Nature, now expanded to dozens of planets!
The powers of Nature and humanity complemented each other, quickly forming human settlements and civilizations on these dozens of planets in an incredibly short time.
In an instant, dozens of new sources of faith emerged! Although these were merely illusory lives, providing slightly weaker faith power, they still multiplied Sterl's rate of faith power growth several times over!
At this moment, Sterl could feel that his path to godhood had laid an extremely solid foundation.
Once Sterl ascends to godhood and truly harnesses faith power to refine Divine Power, his combat power will soar at an astonishing rate.
Although Sterl was unsure how his rate of faith power accumulation compared to other gods, he knew one thing:
A single planet's population was equivalent to at least five or six countries under Gloria's rule in the Dark Moon Alliance!
And this was just because those human beings had only recently emerged and hadn't yet occupied the entire planet.
As time went on, these human beings would thrive and develop, eventually taking over the entire planet, with their numbers continuously swelling.
By then, the amount of faith power they could provide would increase proportionally.
Especially once Sterl formally ascended to godhood, he would be able to use the Creator's Act freely, turning the regions where these virtual humans existed into reality, thereby making these humans real as well.
The faith power provided would then convert into normal values...
Sterl could hardly imagine how fast he would be able to refine Divine Power at that point! It would be an absolute leap forward!
"And just the faith power I've accumulated now is enough to use the Creator's Act one more time." Sterl's eyes gleamed with excitement, though he was in no rush to use this special skill.
The first time he opened up a small world, it was a qualitative change, allowing him to freely carry various items between reality and the game. However, creating an additional area wouldn't provide such a significant boost.
It would be better to keep the faith power in reserve.
After sensing the changes in his mental realm, Sterl slowly opened his eyes. His professional advancement was now complete.
He casually stretched his muscles, immediately feeling a surge of power throughout his body, almost to the point where he found it challenging to control himself.
The main reason was that the attribute boost was simply too overwhelming!
Sterl found his control over his body greatly diminished, but instead of being worried, he was thrilled!
"This... my power has skyrocketed!"
He couldn't wait to open his attribute panel.
Various notifications began to flood the screen.
[Congratulations! Your authority heart has been upgraded to a Radiance-level profession!]
[Your authority heart has fully merged with you! You can now freely integrate various skills into your profession system!]
[Notice: Your authority heart has fully integrated with you and has undergone a breakthrough based on your physique and attributes, resulting in a brand-new profession!]
[Please confirm the name of the new profession: [——]]
"Huh?"
"Naming?"
Sterl was taken aback.
He wasn't really good at naming things. Otherwise, his 3S-level pet, the Star Radiance Dragon, wouldn't still be called by its species name.
Sterl thought for a moment.
"Let's call it Harness the Stars."
He felt this name was quite refined, fitting well with his skills and the starry sea within his mental realm.
Thus,[Harness the Stars] had a sort of elegance to it!
At the same time, the simple name Harness the Stars didn't sound like an overwhelmingly powerful profession. People might even mistake it for a B-level or A-level profession, perfectly aligning with Sterl's cautious nature.
Just in case...
He meant, just in case someone detected his profession name but didn't get any other information.
Sterl could still pretend that his profession was trash!
After confirming the profession name:
[You have created a new profession: Harness the Stars (Radiance)]
[The naming rights for the A-level profession[Harness the Stars]have been revoked! Your Harness the Stars (Radiance) will be a unique, exclusive profession.]
"Huh?" Sterl was stunned again. Wow, just by naming his profession, he had taken over the name of an existing A-level profession.
But he paid no mind to this little incident, as the attribute boosts started to flood in next—
