Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 806

Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Return! The World’s Lament!
Just like living beings, worlds also have levels of hierarchy.

High-tier worlds not only have stronger Space-Time Barriers, but even the most ordinary materials within them are far superior to those in lower-tier worlds.

This is why even an ordinary herb in a high-tier world can be regarded as a priceless treasure in a lower-tier world.

Furthermore, the different world levels determine the limits of the beings that can inhabit them.

When Sterl was dealing with those strange invaders in Hell, he was once dragged into the Endless Void. There, some worlds were as small as a fist, while others were as vast as continents.

In such a tiny world, like one the size of a fist or a basketball, if Sterl entered, even without doing anything, the terrifying force emanating from him would be enough to tear that world apart.

Worlds of that size were so fragile that, regardless of a deity’s presence, even a small legend or a third-class being could rule and dominate that world.

In fact, there’s a joke passed around in the Endless Void. It goes like this: Someone, thinking of themselves as a peerless genius, trains for years and transcends their world, only to realize that they are just a lowly soldier in the vastness of another powerful world.

This is The Myriad Worlds—the cruel reality.

Once you walk down this road, it is endless. Either you perish along the way, or you climb to the top step by step, battling countless beings.

Of course, many powerful beings, who feel that their strength has reached its limits and with their life span running short, will choose to enter weaker worlds, where they can relax and retire in peace.

All those so-called “immortal hermits” or rumors about the “black-hearted old grandfathers with hidden fortunes” originate from such powerful beings.

Sterl once wondered if his cheat was the product of a bored, powerful being who had attached themselves to him at some point.

But once he reached the level of a deity, he dismissed this thought.

To completely block divine-level perception, especially while the target continues to use it, even the mightiest of deities, or even great deities, would find it difficult.

Especially now, with his mastery of two ultimate passives, vast soul energy enhancements, and a level that had reached the divine tier—his combat power now surpassed that of most powerful deities—he still couldn’t detect the presence of his cheat.

However, Sterl didn’t worry. The presence of the cheat had nothing to do with any conspiracy theory. After all, when he obtained the cheat, he was just an ordinary mortal—no talent, no fortune, and, in fact, someone who should have died the day he left the base.

Therefore, the appearance of the cheat might just be a coincidence. Sterl believed that as his power continued to grow, the true nature of the cheat would slowly come to light.

“Next, I must first improve my passive abilities related to physical strength, or I won’t be able to fully unleash the true power of Sublimation of Power,” Sterl muttered, shaking his head and bringing his thoughts back to the matter at hand.

Terrifying power required a sufficiently strong body to support it.

While his body was not weak, and when he activated Star-Bone Body, his physical strength was even comparable to Stellar Bone Crystal Essence, it still wasn’t enough to unleash the power within him.

In his regular state, the +3 physical strength enhancement was simply enough to maintain his body, preventing it from collapsing under the vast power.

Fortunately, when he had been searching for Spiritual Transcendence, he had found all the other suitable basic passives.

Soon, an arcane skill called Sturdy Physique was quickly mastered.

[Sturdy Physique]

[Category: Passive]

[Description: This arcane skill represents the ultimate pursuit of survival by legendary beings. It has been refined and passed down through countless generations and contains the desires of many creatures for the strongest life. It embodies the mortal’s longing for immortality and is driven by pure will, incorporating the philosophy of the path to ultimate strength.]

**[Effect: Condense the Power of Legend, merge the Power of Legend, and transform the Power of Legend into an essence that nourishes the physique.

Each successful fusion of Power of Legend will grant the following bonuses:

Total health increased by 20%

Physical strength increased by 10%

Body recovery speed increased by 10%

Once enough Power of Legend has been fused, the body will automatically generate Legendary Marks. All physical damage received will be reduced by 50%, and resistance to curses, toxins, and other negative effects will increase.]**

[Note: Fusing the Power of Legend requires a significant amount of time. This process cannot be accelerated, and during the fusion phase, intense combat cannot be engaged in, as it may cause the Power of Legend to become unstable, backfiring on the user.]

Sturdy Physique was very similar to the earlier Great Strength arcane skill—both represented beings’ pursuit of ultimate strength.

This pursuit had to be engraved in their bones, becoming their lifelong belief, only then could they, by coincidence, discover the concept that led to the highest path.

Unfortunately, they were just legends. Whether it was their experiences or their own strength and potential, they all had limits. This meant they would only ever be one of many foundation layers in the pursuit of ultimate power.

However, compared to the unstable traits and side effects of Great Strength, the effects of Sturdy Physique were far stronger, more refined, and stable.

After all, this passive arcane skill had been passed down and improved through countless generations before finally taking form.

Theoretically speaking, if a legendary being had an unlimited lifespan and could obtain a stable source of Power of Legend, then with the ability of Sturdy Physique, it might one day be possible for them to master the ultimate passive in this regard.

Of course, this was merely theoretical and had no practical reference value.

With the basic passive related to physical strength successfully mastered, the next step was to wait another seven days, using the cheat to elevate this basic passive to the ultimate passive tier.

In fact, if time allowed, he would prefer to enhance all his basic passives to the ultimate level before leaving Abyssal Prison and start confronting the Dream Spirit Empire.

He had a vague feeling that only when all the basic passives were upgraded to the ultimate level would it truly be considered complete; otherwise, something would always be lacking.

Additionally, he had been directly informed that mastering all ultimate passives was a prerequisite for breaking through a certain boundary.

As to what that boundary was, Sterl wasn’t clear yet. His strength had been increasing too rapidly, and many times, it was only after reaching a certain level of combat power that he would gradually understand the tier and level he was in.

And during this wait for the cheat to refresh, Sterl wasn’t wasting time.

He knew that after a breakthrough in technique tiers, the effects of cultivating in the Land of All Beings would be even stronger.

After reaching the Swordsmanship Master level, he hadn’t yet entered to experience it.

He believed that with Swordsmanship Master + Spiritual Transcendence + Sublimation of Power, the 50% increase in technique cultivation would make the experience feel absolutely complete. It might even be better than when he had the Nightmare Overlord technique soul fragment, and it would likely go much more smoothly!

After all, the technique soul fragment belonged to someone else, whereas this multi-tier enhancement was a fundamental improvement to himself.

However, just as he was contemplating this, Sterl suddenly stopped. A faint sense of heart palpitation emerged.

“What’s going on?”

He frowned slightly. At his level, it was impossible for such a feeling to appear out of nowhere. On the contrary, the stronger his power, the more accurate his premonitions became. This was related to the power of space-time.

It was like capturing some vague fragments from both the future and the past across the fabric of time.

While he was still puzzled, a prearranged warning measure that he had set up earlier was forcefully activated, and Sterl’s expression darkened.

“Has it finally come?”

This warning existed within the royal city, and the only way it could be forcibly triggered was if the royal city had come under a fierce attack.

He calculated the time—it had already been a month since he left the Transcendence world.

He had been wondering why there had been no movement from the Kingdom of Orichalcum during this long period. It turned out that it wasn’t that there was no action; rather, they had been preparing something big.

“Very well, this will give me the perfect opportunity to test just how strong my current power really is.”

With a cold snort, Sterl immediately took out the Dream Orb. As long as he wasn’t in a combat state and the surrounding space-time stabilized, he could use the Dream Orb’s records to teleport to any location he had visited before.

Next, the Gateway of Passage opened before him, and Sterl stepped through, filled with burning anger, back into the Transcendence world.

…

Transcendence world, Alpha 8 world, the lowest level of the Realm of the Undying.

A light dot appeared in the air, drawing a white line across the sky like a zipper. The light trace expanded, forming a Gateway of Passage.

In the next moment, a man, nearly two meters tall, dressed in Starry Battle Armor, with Boots of the Void on his feet, and the Sword of the World hanging at his waist, stepped out of the Gateway of Passage. His expression was cold, resembling a lion in stature.

Sterl glanced around. The measures he had set up within the Realm of the Undying had not been triggered, meaning his position had not been exposed.

“The world is crying out in anguish.”

Sterl extended his hand. As the ruler of the Alpha 8 world and the wielder of the Sword of the World, he could faintly sense the life force of this world slowly fading, the world’s origin was under assault.

This feeling was strikingly similar to what he had experienced in Hell!

With this thought, Sterl had a very bad premonition.

Then, with a mere thought, his senses—enhanced several times over after mastering Spiritual Transcendence—immediately spread across the entire Alpha 8 world.

“So it was… you.”

Under his perception, the figures of the silver-white creatures appeared clearly in his mind.

Not only that, but after returning to the Transcendence world, the map module permissions he had previously obtained were activated. Through scene recall, he understood the full sequence of events.

The masterminds behind all of this were the upper realms—Orichalcum kingdom!
