Chapter 359: No Wonder the Other Heroes Reached B-Rank So Fast!

His mouth twitched again because he didn’t have billions of years to waste, and he certainly hadn’t been moving this desperately just to accomplish something after several cosmic eras.

Hell, Luke was currently trying to become strong enough to change his situation within a single year.

A few billion years wasn’t even remotely an option.

At that moment, however, the savior finally opened its mouth.

Or rather…

A familiar blue screen appeared before everyone.

[Ahem! Luke, I have a solution.]

Luke stared at the System screen.

The four Titan spirits also turned toward it.

For several seconds, all five of them carried almost the same expression, as though silently telling the System not to start speaking nonsense again.

Then they remembered exactly what they were dealing with.

This was the same System that had freed the Titan from imprisonment, allowed Luke to possess several Forbidden Titan bloodlines simultaneously, brought items from other universes, and repeatedly accomplished things that should have been impossible.

Maybe this time it actually did have a solution.

Luke straightened slightly.

“Continue. I’m listening.”

The System immediately responded.

[Well, there happens to be a special offer available right now.]

“…”

[You can obtain a cultivation technique that already contains every method they just described.]

Luke’s expression changed.

The System continued before he could interrupt.

[You won’t need to spend billions of years personally learning every Forbidden principle deeply enough to construct the refinement methods yourself.]

[The technique already contains the complete processes for engraving, purification, reconstruction, organogenesis, synchronization, and body evolution.]

[You only need to fulfill the external requirements, provide the necessary resources, and cultivate according to its instructions.]

A long System panel immediately unfolded before Luke.

Even Nyx, Caelith, Myrkhal, and Sevaroth became more attentive as the cultivation sequence appeared.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[CULTIVATION SEQUENCE]

For every major realm:

1. Hunt and devour suitable bloodline essence.

2. Refine and engrave the Blood Script.

3. Reforge the heart through Origin Heart Forge.

4. Rebuild the marrow through Genesis Marrow.

5. Refine the skeleton and flesh into a Titan body.

6. Refine the mind and nervous system.

7. Synchronize the soul with the evolving bloodline.

8. Complete Authority Organogenesis.

9. Enter Titan Molting.

10. Use natural heavenly lightning to temper the newly created body and complete the breakthrough.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Only after all ten stages have been completed can the practitioner enter the next Titan realm.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Luke carefully read through everything, while the Titan spirits silently examined the sequence as well.

None of them objected.

Although some details were far beyond ordinary cultivation, every major step matched the path they had just designed for Luke.

The System screen suddenly changed again.

[However, you only need to personally handle the first and final external requirements.]

Luke blinked.

“What?”

[You hunt and gather the required blood essence.]

[Then you cultivate.]

[The technique automatically performs Blood Script engraving, heart reforging, marrow reconstruction, flesh and bone refinement, mind and nerve evolution, soul synchronization, organogenesis, and Titan Molting according to the bloodlines and Authorities currently present inside you.]

Luke slowly sat upright.

[Once the internal evolution is complete, you only need to find suitable natural heavenly lightning and personally endure the final tempering.]

“…”

The System apparently wasn’t finished.

[Basically, you hunt, eat, cultivate, get struck by lightning, and become stronger.]

“…”

[No need to spend billions of years studying Forbidden principles or grind every internal refinement manually like some liver-grinding protagonist.]

Luke’s mouth twitched.

The four Titans also became strangely silent.

[After all, I am the best System, so naturally the System Market only provides the best products.]

The screen practically radiated smugness.

Then another message appeared.

[So…]

[Should I purchase this cultivation technique?]

[Gods have started Divine Wars over techniques of this level, you know.]

“…”

Luke stared at the screen.

Nyx stared at the screen.

Caelith stared at the screen.

Sevaroth stared at the screen.

Even Myrkhal finally stopped swinging his legs.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

The System’s sales pitch was already ridiculous enough, but the fact that Luke would only need to hunt bloodline creatures, provide their essence, cultivate, and then endure heavenly lightning while an entire multi-Authority Titan body reconstructed itself automatically was far more absurd.

But claiming that gods had started Divine Wars over such a technique was on another level entirely.

Luke eventually recovered first.

“So what’s the price?”

Despite everything, he still believed he might actually be able to afford it.

He currently possessed three Monthly Claims if Theia’s was included, along with roughly sixteen thousand accumulated charges, and although those resources were valuable, this technique clearly wasn’t something he could casually ignore.

[Calculating…]

Luke waited.

[A few System backlogs will be displayed during calculation.]

[Please ignore them.]

“…Fine.”

Luke nodded.

Another screen appeared.

[Luke is poor.]

“…”

[He doesn’t even have a single yandere wife or sugar mommy helping his financial situation.]

Luke’s eyebrow twitched.

[Therefore, the System has no choice but to spend money from its own pocket.]

[Ahh… what a generous and magnificent System I am. ＼(￣▽￣)／]

“…”

Luke’s mouth twitched even harder.

The System continued calculating as though it couldn’t see his expression.

[Calculating…]

[Applying special discount…]

[Applying pathetic-host discount…]

“…”

Luke decided not to respond.

Finally, the calculation finished.

[Done.]

[Luke, the final price will be all of your remaining Monthly Claims for this year, every currently accumulated System charge, and any Monthly Claim obtained during the current month.]

Luke froze.

[Please sign here.]

A glowing signature box appeared beneath the message.

“O_O”

Luke’s mouth fell open.

“Are you robbing me?”

With that many Monthly Claims, he could obtain several extremely high-ranking rewards monthly, while his sixteen thousand charges alone represented a large amount of accumulated return power.

Yet the System wasn’t merely asking for everything he currently possessed.

It was taking future claims in advance.

The System immediately noticed his reaction.

[Sigh.]

[Luke, do you seriously not understand what you’re buying?]

Luke stared at the screen.

[Fine, let me explain something first.]

[Do you know what happened to the other Heroes after receiving both their patron god’s blessing and Valtharion’s blessing?]

Luke thought about it for several seconds before shaking his head.

He knew those Heroes had experienced frightening growth soon after being summoned, but he had never known exactly what had caused it.

The System answered.

[When their respective gods bless their chosen Heroes, those Heroes generally receive an SSS-Rank Skill.]

Luke’s expression changed slightly.

[Then Valtharion’s blessing grants another evolution.]

[A Divine-Rank Origin Skill.]

Luke immediately sat straighter.

The System continued.

[An Origin Skill of that level is essentially a direct road toward godhood, provided the Hero survives, continues cultivating, and doesn’t become lazy halfway through.]

“What the fuck?!”

Luke couldn’t stop himself from cursing.

Those people hadn’t merely received good talent.

They had effectively entered Valtharion with god-level foundations already prepared for them.

No wonder some Heroes had already climbed into B-Rank despite arriving only shortly before him.

[Yup.]

The System seemed strangely pleased by his reaction.

[So understand this properly.]

[The technique I’m offering doesn’t merely save you several billion years of learning.]

[Its rank is also above Divine.]

The four Titan spirits immediately became serious.

Luke stared at the screen as the next words slowly appeared.

[EX-RANK.]

“…”

[Classification: Eternal Rank.]

[The same rank at which your Titan once existed.]

The bathhouse became silent again.

This time, even Nyx and the others didn’t immediately react.

An EX-Rank technique wasn’t merely another powerful treasure.

According to the laws they understood, something at the Eternal level wasn’t supposed to be casually manufactured, distributed, or even obtained simply because someone was powerful enough.

Eternal existence itself was connected directly to the authority of the universe.

If the universe did not permit an existence to cross that boundary, then simply possessing strength wasn’t enough to force the transition.

That was also one of the reasons Nyx, Caelith, Myrkhal, and Sevaroth had been imprisoned rather than killed.

Their enemies couldn’t truly erase them.

An Eternal existence had already become inseparable from the aspect it represented.

If an Eternal being represented Fire, then as long as fire still existed somewhere within that universe, even if it were only a single spark burning in some forgotten corner of reality, that connection could eventually allow the Eternal being to return at full power.

That was what Eternal meant.

Not simply longevity.

Existential persistence.

Sevaroth finally understood why the System had sounded so confident.

“No wonder…”

Everyone turned toward him.

“No wonder this technique can perform those Reformations automatically.”

Sevaroth looked toward the System screen.

“A method capable of simultaneously controlling several Forbidden principles, rewriting them into one body, maintaining stability between them, and repeating the process across every realm shouldn’t be possible through an ordinary cultivation technique.”

His voice became more serious.

“Only something standing at the Eternal grade could handle that level of contradiction without collapsing.”

The System immediately displayed another smug message.

[Exactly.]

[With this technique, not only will your cultivation become drastically faster, but your path will no longer possess a normal breakthrough ceiling.]

Luke stared at the message.

[As long as you continue fulfilling its cultivation requirements and survive your breakthroughs, the technique itself possesses a complete path to Eternal Rank.]

“…”

Luke’s expression slowly changed.

The System wasn’t finished.

[And you won’t become an ordinary Eternal.]

[Because this technique will use the cultivation path your Titans just designed.]

[Every Forbidden Titan bloodline you possess will be rewritten into the same evolving lineage.]

[Every future Titan will contribute to that lineage.]

[Every realm will reconstruct your entire Titan body around the combined result.]

The next message remained on the screen for several seconds.

[If you truly reach the end of this path…]

[What is born may become something even entire universes would fear.]

No one laughed this time.

Even Myrkhal had become quiet.

Luke slowly looked from the System screen toward the four Titan spirits, then back again.

Finally, one last panel appeared.
