Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener Chapter 174: Boarding the Rainbow Ship

Sterl, after so contemplation, decided to store the newly acquired Legendary Crystal in his backpack. Even without evolving it, the Legendary Crystal could still be used up to 10 tis. However, Sterl didn't have enough blood energy to utilize it effectively, and the legendary ability might not even be as good as a golden-quality skill!

It was quite a useless item!

Moreover, based on his previous speculations, if the [Blood Sacrifice Technique] was indeed part of so powerful entity's grand sche, trying to sell this Legendary Crystal might bring him trouble...

"Troubleso!" Sterl muttered to himself, reluctantly stashing the annoying item in his backpack.

He then opened the highest-level Divine Mountain Empire contribution shop.

Imdiately, a vast array of items flooded the screen.

To Sterl's surprise, although not entirely unexpected, the items in the shop were possibly the best the Divine Mountain Empire could offer, yet they still couldn't compare to the Dark Moon Alliance's shop.

Fortunately, he noticed two things:

Firstly, as the [Worshipped One], he could transfer shop privileges and contribution points to any player. Sterl had already decided that he would let Teresa use the remaining contribution points to continue developing their organization.

Secondly, although there were few valuable items, the contribution shop did have so limited-edition items that caught Sterl's interest.

Starting with the equipnt category, Sterl discovered that the reputation equipnt series he had previously purchased was not the upper limit of similar equipnt in the Divine Mountain Empire! A new batch of decent reputation equipnt had appeared.

It's worth ntioning that Sterl's current equipnt had been fully updated.

Except for the [Veil of Nothingness], which permanently occupied the headequipnt slot (with Star Insight and other equipnt being in special slots), all his other equipnt had been replaced:

(Here is the Protagonist's Equipnt)

Weapon: None (primarily using weapons created by Flowing Water Law and Star Blade).

Headequipnt: The Veil of Nothingness (details omitted).

Upper Body: Spirit Armor (second class diamond; 70 to all attributes, includes the skill: Divine Phantom, which boosts all attributes by 10% when activated and creates a phantom that replicates the sa actions, dealing 30% of the original damage).

Lower Body: Dragon Blood Black-Yellow (second class diamond; 60 to all attributes, includes the skill Reserve Power, a passive ability that increases final damage by 1% for every 10% of health lost by the player).

Belt: None.

Boots: Frost Perception (second class diamond; 60 to all attributes, includes the skill Frost Path, which leaves a trail of frost that deals damage when walked upon).

Necklace: Heart of Sacrifice (second class diamond; 50 to all attributes, includes the skill Engulfed in Flas, which can be activated to consu 5% of health per second, causing all your attacks to ignite opponents, making them lose 10% of their health per second).

Ring: None.

Bracelet: None.

All these pieces of equipnt—the upper body, lower body, necklace, and boots—were second class diamond equipnt obtained by Teresa through resource exchanges.

The effects were quite powerful. The upper body armor enhanced damage and boosted attributes, which was extrely useful for soone like Sterl, who already had high base attributes.

The lower body skill was also potent, with the term "final damage" referring to an increase in damage after all other bonuses had been calculated.

As for the boots, while they were just an ordinary second-class diamond item, their attached skill was very useful for regular second-class players and even sowhat strong. However, for Sterl, who had golden-quality skills competing for use, the Frost Path skill would never see the light of day due to its energy consumption.

The necklace fell into a gray area between useful and sowhat redundant. During boss fights, the health-burning ability of the skill would be practical.

However, the issue was that sotis Sterl could defeat bosses in a single hit, rendering the Heart of Sacrifice skill pointless.

The remaining empty equipnt slots were due to Sterl's obsessive-compulsive tendencies. He didn't want to pair subpar items with his fourth-tier second-class diamond equipnt.

The exception was his weapon, as the weapons he created using Law Power and Star Blade were already top-notch. Unless a legendary or mythical item appeared, Sterl had no intention of switching.

At this mont, he could use the Divine Mountain Empire's contribution shop to fill his empty slots.

Sterl quickly made his selections.

[Mountain Guardian]

Slot: Belt

Description: A peculiar belt engraved with the image of dozens of mountain ranges. So say it actually seals dozens of mountain ranges within its fabric.

Effect: 80 to all attributes

Requirent: Maxed out Divine Mountain Empire reputation

Price: 20,000 contribution points

[Tear of Water]

Slot: Ring

Description: A ring jointly crafted by the Water Blue Clan and the Divine Mountain Empire, resembling a traitor.

Effect: 50 to all attributes, includes the ability Water's Blessing. When your health drops to zero, automatically restores 20% of your health.

Requirent: Maxed out Divine Mountain Empire reputation

Price: 29,900 contribution points

[Wisdom]

Slot: Bracelet

Description: …

Effect: 200 to ntal attributes, includes the ability Arcane Brilliance, a passive ability that increases the effectiveness of your ntal attributes by 10%.

Price: 29,900 contribution points

Sterl spent 80,000 contribution points in one go, finally filling all his equipnt slots!

With this, his attributes soared once again.

As for the newly acquired three pieces of equipnt, the [Mountain Guardian] was clearly a lower-quality third-class item, as it didn't even co with any skills. However, the other two pieces of jewelry were of decent quality.

The two abilities they provided were very practical. The ring's Water's Blessing essentially gave Sterl an additional layer of resurrection armor. But despite the lack of description in the equipnt's effect, facing attacks above the legendary level might not guarantee Sterl's survival. This was the limitation of the item's quality.

The [Wisdom] bracelet, on the other hand, caught Sterl's eye primarily due to its high ntal attribute boost, which would better aid him in using Star Insight for disguises.

Finally, Sterl attached a silver-white patch to his neck. This was the reward from the [Dinsional Traveler] quest—

[Dinsional Heart]

Slot: Special Slot (Tattoo)

Description: This small patch contains the essence and insights of a dinsional mage. However, following the destruction of the mage's holand, the effectiveness of this treasure has been greatly diminished.

Effect: When worn, it increases your affinity with all spatial spells by 300%.

At first glance, this item seed sowhat useless since Sterl didn't use spatial magic. The only apparent advantage was that special slot items didn't occupy regular equipnt slots, so there was no harm in wearing it. However, in reality—

[As a Creator's Act] fell within the range of spatial spells.

Sterl felt that using [As a Creator's Act] to materialize elents from his ntal world now consud nearly half as much energy!

"Nice, this is great!" he exclaid with surprise.

Finally, he checked his panel once more.

Star Point Finger, Celestial Stars, and Stardust all had a glowing upgrade symbol next to them, indicating that they could be forcibly upgraded once through his newly acquired cheat.

Looking at his equipnt, except for the Star Insight and Dinsional Heart provided by the Dinsional Traveler, which couldn't be upgraded, all other equipnt had the normal upgrade symbol, indicating that they could be enhanced at least once.

Of course, Sterl currently didn't have any upgrade points.

At this point, he had fully integrated the benefits of being second class and the task rewards, resulting in a massive power boost!

The only things left were unrefined experience points and unenhanced arcane skill proficiency.

Just then, Sterl noticed a new ssage popping up on his panel.

At first, Sterl thought it was so overlooked benefit he hadn't sorted out yet, but it turned out to be a private ssage from Faye: "The blockade of the Divine Mountain Empire's capital has been lifted. Hurry up and co over."

Sterl was taken aback. Based on his knowledge from before his transmigration, such chaos following a king's death would typically last a long ti, possibly even six months to a year...

Had the capital's lockdown been lifted so quickly?

Sterl pondered for a mont.

"I have nothing to fear if I have done nothing wrong! What Nathan did has nothing to do with , David. And even less with , Sterl!"

Resolutely, he decided to head back to the capital of the Divine Mountain Empire. On his way, he casually tossed the kidnapped prince out near a small roadside village—

His task required that at least one prince survive. The easiest way to ensure this was to keep a prince in his little world until he collected his task rewards, guaranteeing absolute safety.

When Sterl finally arrived in the capital, he put on a "surprised" expression and exclaid, "What happened here?"

He looked around and saw ruins everywhere, with many common folk crying or hanging their heads in despair because their hos and stored resources had been completely destroyed by the recent catastrophe.

The entire city was steeped in sorrow.

Feigning concern, Sterl stopped a soldier and asked what had happened. He also ntioned that he was under the command of the Fourth Prince.

The soldier, however, only responded with a gloomy look, "There is no longer a Fourth Prince."

"What?" Sterl was stunned. Had the Fourth Prince been killed after he left??

They knew each other, after all. Sterl felt a slight pang of sadness, but the soldier then said, "He is now our new Emperor."

Sterl: "..."

Good heavens, within just one day, he had ascended to the throne?

Sterl silently griped to himself.

Not long after, Sterl found Faye. They exchanged a few pleasantries before getting straight to business—

The chaos in the Divine Mountain Empire had already delayed their plans.

First, they activated the invitation to the Hall of Valor. A burst of colorful light shot into the sky, and soon, a rainbow-colored ship appeared in their sight.

Afterward, they began to catch up on recent events.
