Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Stone of Breaking Limits
Twilight was merely an organization under Sterl that helped him manage resources. The moral character of its members, whether they would betray him for personal gain, was of no concern!

Thus, even if those members from level-seven guilds betrayed their original guilds, Sterl didn’t mind.

He was solely focused on the struggle for control over the Hall of Valor.

Sterl summoned a panel.

It was the manipulation permissions for the Heavenly Curtain Canyon.

Thanks to the information he received from Sosia, Sterl felt that messages were subtly emanating from the Heavenly Curtain Canyon.

[Hint: You have triggered a hidden main quest (Hall of Valor region): Master the Power of Creation!]

[Description: Just like countless times before great tribulations, the Hall of Valor will undergo changes during each calamity, searching for a new master. This not only means controlling this respected deity artifact but also that the controllers can forcibly ascend to godhood with the blessings of the Hall of Valor. You have already stolen part of the existence of the Hall of Valor and suddenly realized that you can reach for the Hall of Valor’s more core powers.]

[Reward: Legacy from the creator of the Hall of Valor: The Stone of Breaking Limits.]

A light flickered before Sterl, and as he read the task description, he felt overwhelmed by the amount of information.

“Wait a minute, my ‘control’ seems different from the ‘control’ the Hall of Valor chooses for its masters before a calamity.”

He pondered.

It was known that all the gods had disappeared.

Using the task description, Sterl guessed it must be related to the Hall of Valor changing its master.

However, no matter how much time he controlled the Heavenly Curtain Canyon, it would never change its master in the face of calamities.

“That means the gods who once controlled the Hall of Valor merely borrowed authority rather than having complete control like I do?” Sterl mused.

This seemed quite reasonable.

Otherwise, when he was in control of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon, the Hall of Valor itself would have sensed it to some degree.

If a god were to turn the Hall of Valor into their own possession, they would surely be aware of this information.

They would definitely come to cause trouble for Sterl, trying to find a way to reclaim the permissions of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon.

“No wonder the level-seven guilds are restless; it turns out the most core reward allows one to use the blessings of the Hall of Valor to ascend to godhood.”

“And according to the task description, it refers to ‘the Controllers,’ which means the slots for ascending to godhood are not limited to just one??”

Sterl’s heart raced.

It’s important to note that in the [Transcendence] game system, breaking through each level was incredibly difficult.

But becoming a god was undoubtedly the hardest challenge.

Just the transition from demigod to god was split into numerous stages, making it exceedingly hard to break through!

Moreover, even with perfect preparation, there was still a possibility that one might fail to forge divine authority during the ascension and perish!

If he didn’t already possess divine authority beforehand, Sterl could also face failure when he reached the point of ascension!

The blessing of ascension to godhood gained from controlling the Hall of Valor was incredibly precious!

Sterl’s point allocation may be a bit cheeky, but it couldn’t guarantee that Linna, Rayna, and even Teresa, as well as the Sosia sisters, who he relied on as his handy deputy stars, would definitely succeed in ascending to godhood in the future.

However, if he controlled the Hall of Valor, it would be a different story…

With multiple blessings, at the very least, it would ensure that Linna and Rayna could stabilize their ascension to godhood!

Sterl was quite delighted!

He initially thought the resources of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon had become irrelevant, but unexpectedly, through this part of the ownership of the Hall of Valor, he gained access to such crucial information!

Moreover…

“When I obtained the Radiant Glass Body, I knew that the blessings were remnants left by that great Divine Power, and having one less is a loss.”

“If the Hall of Valor is to change its master every time it faces a calamity, it certainly wouldn’t grant all the blessings at once.”

“If I were to control the Hall of Valor, I could use the permissions from the Heavenly Curtain Canyon to obtain higher-level permissions and even make the entire Hall of Valor my own.”

“Then wouldn’t I be able to extract all the blessings at that time?”

“How many gods could I create in one go?”

Sterl felt a surge of excitement!

This didn’t even account for the other benefits he might gain from truly making the Hall of Valor his own!

A glint flashed in his eyes.

“It seems I must find a way to elevate the guild to level seven as soon as possible.”

“The problem is, during this Valor Combatants conference, we might not gather enough radiant-level materials to reach level seven.”

Sterl felt a bit of a headache.

But he was also quite decisive; at worst, the seventh level of the Twilight Guild could use some lower-level materials.

Controlling the Hall of Valor was the more important matter.

He could always gather materials again in the future and establish a new guild!

“Relying solely on boss farming to accumulate contribution points is too slow; I need to take action personally.”

Sterl’s eyes sparkled with determination.

He didn’t rush into action but instead took a look at the reward for the hidden quest.

Sterl was curious.

What exactly was the Stone of Breaking Limits?

Soon, as he looked at the item’s description, he was stunned.

“Wow, so that’s how it is!”

Sterl’s heart skipped a beat as he read the item’s description.

The detailed attributes of the Stone of Breaking Limits did not appear.

On the task page, he could only find a brief piece of information regarding the final reward.

[An essential item for breaking through weak Divine Power.]

[It is said that when the upper realms formed, all the special elements from the world were extracted, creating the Stone of Breaking Limits, which was then taken into the upper realms. Units lacking this item will be forever trapped in the realm of weak Divine Power, with a lifespan forever limited to ten thousand years.]

[Hint: This item is extremely precious, with fewer than a hundred remaining in the lower realm. Please use it with caution.]

“Is this the key to breaking through weak Divine Power??”

Sterl was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, he also vaguely realized that his strength had reached a certain limit.

Even though his cheat had evolved again, it could only raise his talent to radiant level.

The strongest combat power he had was merely the Iridescent-Level output skills.

At most, he could add a single evolution from the Holy Spirit Bloodline.

This was enough to allow him to challenge opponents several levels higher.

However, in a certain sense, his strength enhancement had also hit a wall. Continuing to develop in the lower realm now left him with only attribute growth and stacking.

He could now kill gods.

When Sterl eventually ascended to godhood, he would likely be able to eliminate enemies across one or two stages.

Yet, he feared that he would also get stuck at the realm of weak Divine Power.

Facing enemies of great Divine Power would likely prove challenging for him.

The limits of all his various methods had been locked in when he was still at third class strength in the lower realm!

“Even if I don’t take the risk to use the Key of the Realms to go to the upper realms and gain upper realm abilities, as long as I complete this task, my strength can still continue to grow!”

His expression brightened with excitement.

The potential rewards from this hidden quest were enormous.

Sterl felt a heat surge through him.

He didn’t see himself as a typical protagonist who must venture to the upper realms just because he had the ability; after all, “Solomon” was still being hunted down!

Whether going to the upper realms would be an opportunity or a trap was uncertain, and it could easily be a suicide mission!

It would naturally be best if he could safely ascend in the lower realm.

“However, I shouldn’t be too optimistic. If the calamity is too terrifying, I’ll still have to take the risk…”

Sterl shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions.

His primary goal now was to raise the guild’s level!

As for the caution regarding the Stone of Breaking Limits,

Sterl felt exasperated. Of course, this thing was meant for him to advance; would he really waste it?

Yet, he also had a strange feeling that he might be overlooking something…

Sterl immediately became alert. He remembered that in various novels and films he had encountered before transmigrating, there were often some side characters who, out of their arrogance, thought that certain oddities were mere illusions.

Generally, those kinds of people met pretty grim fates.

Sterl quickly edited the information about the Stone of Breaking Limits, condensing it, and sent it to Sosia and Sonis, requesting them to gather information in the Hall of Valor…

Then, Sterl sent a message to everyone on the guild page.

[@everyone, I should have told you before, right? The Twilight Guild should not engage in any acts of bullying the weak. However, I’ve thought it over, and during the time I was away, you all must have handled quite a few things, which I haven’t addressed yet.]

[Additionally, for those of you who joined the Hall of Valor, some are newcomers and have not been here long, which is fine. But for some of the older members who joined our guild later, there should be quite a few guilds they’ve offended. Please list all of them now.]

As soon as those words were spoken,

they instantly stirred up countless waves of shock!

The members of the Twilight Guild, who were previously focused on their own tasks, were startled out of their wits by the sudden pop-up message!

At this moment…

In the Hall of Valor, in the outdoor area,

a group of players was reluctantly retreating.

Before them floated a snow fairy resembling a human female. This boss had initially been targeted by them, but it had coincidentally wandered into the hunting grounds of the Twilight Guild.

Without hesitation, the group turned to leave.

Although Sterl had clearly restricted the internal matters of the Twilight Guild from randomly stealing bosses, outsiders had no way of knowing this!

In the minds of ordinary players, the Twilight Guild remained a fearsome and unapproachable force! They were known for being extremely domineering; if a monster entered their hunting territory, it belonged to the Twilight Guild!

Even if you had already been fighting it, you could only consider yourself unlucky and yield the boss.

Moreover, during the Valor Combatants conference, the name David echoed throughout the Hall of Valor.

Who wouldn’t be afraid?

Nobody dared to offend Twilight under David’s command!

A few Twilight Guild members nearby noticed the scene and smirked disdainfully.

Although they weren’t actively stealing monsters, if others yielded the boss, they couldn’t just ignore it.

After all, bosses do attack…

Before the members of the Twilight Guild could even make a move, their expressions changed dramatically.

They stared at David’s message, frantically calling out to the group in front of them.

“This is bad!”
