Lance heard the notification chi on his end as well.
[System Notification]
A new day has arrived. Your Reconstruction Quota has been refreshed: 9/9.
The system's voice echoed in Lance’s mind at that exact mont. Before he could even react, his body dissolved into a stream of raw data and vanished from his spot.
Woom!
Following a surge in his consciousness, Lance materialized in the center of a boundless, infinite plaza.
Densely packed crowds of Void Beasts, Humans, and Spirit-kin surrounded him. The scale of these races varied wildly; the smallest were tens of thousands of tis smaller than an atom, and had Lance not been so powerful, he wouldn't have even noticed their existence. Conversely, the largest lood like gods; Lance could spot their gargantuan fras from hundreds of light-years away.
Even with his current strength, Lance’s vision stretched across tens of thousands of light-years, yet he still could not see the end of this plaza. It was obvious that every living being in the entire universe had been gathered here.
He quickly realized that neither he nor anyone else could move freely. So visitors from lower civilizations were paralyzed with terror. Others—teenagers from worlds with technology levels similar to 21st-century Earth—looked around with frantic excitent.
It was clear these people believed they were about to beco the protagonists of so grand story. But reality was cruel. Fiction was just fiction; even if they were all selected to enter the Virtual Universe, most stood no chance. After all, who knew what the Genius Trials would actually entail?
"Ti to repair the exploits of my cultivation thods and martial techniques," Lance thought, his eyes flickering. "I wonder what kind of top-tier treasures I can fuse this ti."
He pulled up his Status Panel.
"I have four martial techniques that need repairing, two cultivation thods, and two weapons. That leaves with one extra quota, doesn't it? I’ll save that last one for an ergency. If I haven't used it by tomorrow, I’ll use it to upgrade the Wings of the Angel."
Having identified his targets, Lance didn't hesitate.
"System, repair the exploits of my four martial techniques!"
[System Notification]
Command accepted. Comncing the repair of technique exploits.
Rumble!
In an instant, a flood of terrifying mories surged into Lance’s Consciousness Hub like a tidal wave. Simultaneously, the four martial techniques began to undergo rapid, simulated training within his Holographic Simulation Space. In the span of a single heartbeat, Lance gained the equivalent of trillions of years of practice, pushing every single technique to a horrifying level of Perfection.
Furthermore, these were all powerful Tier 15 techniques.
[System Notification]
Congratulations. Your martial technique [Slaughter Demon Spear] has successfully evolved into: [The Death Spear Art] (Immortal Class).
[System Notification]
Congratulations. Your martial technique [Divine Light of Destruction] has successfully evolved into: [The Apocalyptic Ray] (Immortal Class).
[System Notification]
Congratulations. Your martial technique [Flash Step] has successfully evolved into: [Instantaneous Teleportation] (Immortal Class).
Bonus: You have awakened the elent: Teleportation Force (Tier 14 Esper Ability).
[System Notification]
Congratulations. Your martial technique [Realm Emperor's Golden Body] has successfully evolved into: [The Heaven-Quaking Avatar] (Immortal Class).
Four notifications rang out in quick succession.
Notably, after Flash Step was repaired to Tier 15, it had directly awakened a Tier 14 Esper Ability: Teleportation Force.
Lance recognized it imdiately. This was a powerful ability on the sa level as Void Power. It was also one of the ten Apex Elents of Spatial Affinity. If he could eventually collect all ten Spatial Affinity elents, he would be able to successfully awaken Space Power.
Space Power was a Tier 17 elent, far surpassing the six other Supre Elents. Its power was terrifying; if one could comprehend it, they would be invincible by the ti they reached the level of the Supre Divinities.
"So martial techniques can also awaken these elents? It looks like I should seek out more Spatial Affinity techniques in the future. Who knows, I might actually be able to awaken Space Power that way."
Lance’s eyes glead. He knew that in this world, elent level was king. The Destruction Power and Power of Death he currently wielded were formidable, but they were still only Tier 15. Many others in this universe had also mastered them. To surpass those people—to reach a level where he could erase them with ease—he needed higher-tier elents.
Fortunately, as long as his level was high enough and he acquired techniques with sufficient potential, his system could repair and optimize them. Even if a technique lacked inherent potential, he could use the Limit Break function to force an upgrade.
Everything depended on increasing his own realm and strength.
Descriptions of the upgraded techniques began to float before him:
[The Death Spear Art]: A Tier 15 Immortal Class technique. Once the pinnacle technique of the Paramount God of Death. When fused with the Power of Death, it possesses the capability to destroy all things. Anything struck by this spear begins its march toward inevitable death.
[The Apocalyptic Ray]: A Tier 15 Immortal Class technique with the power to destroy heaven and earth. When practiced to the limit and unleashed, it can instantly reduce all matter in the universe to nothingness.
[Instantaneous Teleportation]: A Tier 15 Immortal Class technique. The fastest escape technique of the Spatial Affinity. Based on your current strength, you can teleport anywhere within a radius of several light-years in an instant. You can perform this teleportation 100 tis per second. As your strength grows, the distance per jump and the frequency per second will increase.
[The Heaven-Quaking Avatar]: Instantly draws upon the power of the world to empower the user. At its peak, the user can directly absorb the energy of an entire universe to bolster their defense.
Looking at the descriptions, Lance couldn't help but marvel. As expected of Immortal Class arts—they were constantly talking about absorbing or destroying entire universes. However, the "peak strength" ntioned likely referred to a realm beyond the Supre Divinities.
"I’ll worry about Space Power later. For now, the priority is boosting my imdiate combat power. System, repair the exploits for my two weapons and the [Demon King's Sacrifice] as well!"
As for [The Celestial Canon], Lance intended to save it for last as his trump card. With other Tier 15 techniques, it was common for them to have no further potential because they were already at the limit of their grade.
But [The Celestial Canon] was different. Lance felt that after its Reconstruction, it could improve by at least one minor realm, if not more. Based on its structure, its potential was limitless. It was already a Tier 15 technique by fusing only eight elents; what if it fused ten, a hundred, or a thousand?
There were a total of Three Thousand Elents in existence. With his system, he had both the ability and the talent to comprehend them all. If he fused three thousand elents, the resulting cultivation thod would surely be Tier 18 or higher.
The thought filled Lance with genuine anticipation.
[System Notification]
Command accepted. Comncing repairs.
The system humd into motion.
Buzz!
A blinding golden radiance surged, pouring directly into the spear on Lance’s back and the battle armor covering his body. This golden light was visible only to Lance; even the Virtual Universe itself—the entity that had created this entire digital realm—remained completely oblivious to the phenonon.
Under the shroud of that brilliant golden light, Lance’s spear and armor began to undergo a rapid, violent transformation.
Even though this tamorphosis was happening in plain sight, not a single soul noticed anything unusual. Such was the terrifying power of the System. To be frank, this level of sensory manipulation was trivial for any entity a few civilizations more advanced than the observer, let alone the System, which existed on a plane far beyond even the Virtual Universe.
Simultaneously, a flood of new information surged into Lance’s mind—a brand-new cultivation technique. In an instant, Lance mastered it to absolute perfection.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your weapon: Dark Sky Demon Spear has successfully evolved into: Destruction Divine Spear (Immortal Class!)]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your armor: Dark Sky Battle Armor has successfully evolved into: Destruction Battle Armor (Immortal Class!)]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your technique: Demon King's Sacrifice has successfully evolved into: The Fiend God's Nirvana (Immortal Class!)]
As the upgrade concluded, three consecutive system notifications echoed in Lance’s mind. Hearing them, his eyes glead with anticipation.
He hadn't expected the potential of his two Gold Tier - Low weapons to reach Rank 15. Moreover, both had evolved into Destruction-type equipnt, making them a perfect synergistic match for his current martial arts and cultivation path. As for Demon King's Sacrifice, Lance had originally purchased it specifically because it had the potential to reach the Immortal Class, so its evolution felt like a natural progression.
Curious, Lance pulled up the detailed descriptions for his newly upgraded gear and technique.
Destruction Divine Spear: Integrated with a Rank 15 Destruction-type Void Core. It significantly amplifies the user's Destruction Power. When paired with Destruction-type energy, it can unleash world-ending devastation. It can be used regardless of level gaps, provided the user can supply enough energy. With sufficient power, the Host could even obliterate an Immortal Class powerhouse with his current cultivation.
Destruction Battle Armor: Features a Rank 15 A.I., a Rank 15 combat power analyzer, and a full set of Rank 15 plating. The base materials were forged from the very first tal born at the dawn of the universe. Embedded with a Rank 15 Destruction-type Void Core, it further enhances the user's Destruction Power. Its effectiveness is doubled when used in tandem with the Destruction Divine Spear.
The Fiend God's Nirvana: Created by the Fiend God, the supre deity worshipped by the Celestial Fiends. Upon activation, the user can instantly sacrifice their own flesh, blood, and Divine Soul to gain a massive surge in power.
Ultimate Skill: Nirvana. Sacrifice the entire Divine Soul and physical body to fight purely with Will. Once the Will expires, the user dies. Non-practitioners of the Law of Death will perish permanently; however, those who have mastered the Law of Death can achieve Nirvana and be reborn.
Lance was genuinely stunned as the details scrolled past.
"The spear techniques utilize the Power of Death, while the weapons themselves are Destruction-type. The combined lethality of the two will be monstrous," Lance mused. "And The Fiend God's Nirvana... it’s as if it were designed specifically for soone who possesses the Power of Death. To sacrifice everything and fight through sheer Will alone—that's beyond broken."
Lance nodded in satisfaction. Each of these new assets was powerful to the extre. The most "broken" aspect was the theoretical ability to slay an Immortal Class expert, provided he had the energy to fuel the spear.
He might not have enough energy right now, but once he tracked down so Rank 13 Void Cores and Flesh and Blood Essence to repair his Exploits, he should be able to fully awaken the Destruction Divine Spear.
"Now for the final piece: The Celestial Canon," Lance’s eyes flashed with intensity. "I wonder what level it will reach once those Exploits are repaired. System, repair The Celestial Canon!"
Without a second's hesitation, he issued the command. The mont the order was finalized, a violent, chaotic torrent of mories slamd into his consciousness.
[Ding! Command accepted. The Celestial Canon possesses 2 quintillion Exploits. Beginning repair!]
Lance’s pupils constricted at the notification.
Two quintillion?
Holy sht. A Rank 15 Immortal Class technique only required a hundred trillion. Based on the math, two quintillion put this at Tier 18—a Tier 8 God-level technique. That was two entire realms above the Supre Divinities.
Without a doubt, no technique of this caliber existed anywhere else in the universe. Possessing this ant Lance had effectively transcended every other living being in existence.
Rumble!
The influx of information turned from a stream into a violent deluge. An infinite ocean of knowledge drowned his mind as the contents of the technique began to manifest, layer by layer.
Lance imdiately began to circulate the new energy. In his Consciousness Hub, every Law Thread surged toward the center. In a flash, they rged into the iridescent sphere that already held eight combined Laws.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. All Exploits for The Celestial Canon have been repaired. It has evolved into: The Divine Genesis Canon (Tier 18, Heaven-Defying Grade!)]
Lance’s heart skipped a beat. Heaven-Defying Grade? What kind of rank was that?
He hurriedly opened the description for the newly christened Divine Genesis Canon.
The Divine Genesis Canon: A Tier 18, Heaven-Defying Grade technique. It possesses the power to rge every Law in existence. The resulting fused energy is known as the Power of Genesis. The more elents rged, the higher the rank and the more formidable the Power of Genesis becos.
If the user successfully rges all 2,999 Laws (excluding Ti), the technique will reach its limit, and the Power of Genesis will reach Tier 18. If the Power of Ti is successfully integrated, the technique will break all known limits.
Current Laws Integrated: 13.
Current Power of Genesis Rank: Tier 16 Low-Grade.
Reading the status panel, Lance finally grasped the sheer scale of the Divine Genesis Canon.
Even though the Power of Genesis wasn't at its peak yet, it had already reached Tier 16. While the nurical difference between Tier 16 and Rank 15 seed small, it represented a qualitative leap. One was the peak of the Six Paramount Laws; the other sat comfortably above them. The sheer destructive output wouldn't even be in the sa league.
"The path of this technique is clear," Lance realized. "I need to master every other elent, elevate them to Law-level, and then fold them into the Power of Genesis. Given the na, any idiot can guess that once it's fully rged, I'll have the power to create entire worlds."
A smile played on his lips. Tier 18 wasn't even the ceiling; it could go higher. Just how far it could go was sothing he’d only discover in ti.
"System," Lance said, his voice steady. "Open my Status Panel."
