章 27: The Third Talent Opening Scroll! An Explosive Reward!

The higher echelons of Earth's human race quickly came to a conclusion.

Even though the feat was broadcast across all of [Transcendence]... what if the player who achieved the feat was nearby? They must be prepared to make friends!

Otherwise, it could potentially bring a cataclysmic crisis to the human race of Earth!

Within the Divine Mountain Empire, numerous powerhouses and leaders from countless factions were deeply moved, lamenting the emergence of a new star. They too instructed their subordinates to make contingency plans. in case they encountered the genius who had accomplished the achievement, he must be treated well.

And then—

In the vast continent of Vashto, belonging to the Divine Mountain Empire, many legendary powerhouses pondered thoughtfully.

Within the Crystal Wall System, which Vashto Continent is a part of—

A warrior facing several level hundred flame demons blinked in surprise.

Inside a towering mage tower, a mummified old man's eyeballs moved.

In the dense forest sea, amidst thousands of prostrating animals, a brown bear showed a human-like expression...

These individuals, seemingly ordinary, would astonish anyone aware of their identities—

They were all demi-god powerhouses of the Crystal Wall System!

These people all paused their current tasks, pondering over the "Hidden Region" and "Hidden Player" mentioned in the system broadcast.

Was another being of their caliber about to emerge?

A reason for celebration!

The effect of the broadcast across all of [Transcendence] continued.

Even...

In some completely secluded divine realms, amidst the flowing lava and sulfur of hell, within realms that exist only in the spiritual domain...

The actions of some deities paused for a moment.

...

And Sterl was completely unaware of the huge uproar his actions had caused throughout the entire world of the game [Transcendence].

He was just happily waiting for his reward after completing the achievement.

And the final result did not disappoint him.

[Hello, Player Sterl.]

[Based on your current level status, you have received the following rewards for completing the achievement—

You have received 3 Energy Crystals.

You have received the Third Talent Opening Scroll.

Your legend level has increased by one.]

The rewards flashed across the screen so quickly that Sterl was stunned—not because the rewards were too good, but—

"Only three things?"

"I thought achievements were supposed to be hard to accomplish. Who is looked down upon when only three items are given??" Sterl couldn't help but complain.

Then he looked at the details of the rewards and quickly became sincerely impressed!

[Energy Crystal]

[Category: Special]

[Effect: After using this item, you can directly level up by one.]

[Note: This item is only effective for players below level 50.]

"Holy shit! That's intense."

Sterl read through the item description word by word, almost fainting in disbelief!

This must be the item meant to replace the experience gained from defeating a boss.

But the reward was too generous!

Defeating a single boss would at most allow Sterl to reach level 18, yet three Energy Crystals meant a direct jump of three levels!

And he could entirely wait until he was level 47, then use all three crystals in one go to jump straight to level 50!!

This was a massive gain!!

Sterl felt he was already winning big time.

Next—

[Third Talent Expansion Scroll]

[Category: Special]

[Effect: Upon use, unlocks the Third Talent for the player—Divine Talent]

[Warning: This item is of extremely high value, please use it immediately!]

[Warning: ...]

"What's this??"

"There's a third talent??" Sterl was completely baffled.

And looking at the name, Divine Talent! Anything associated with the word 'divine' sounded incredibly powerful!

Lastly, Sterl was even more shocked by the warning note in the item description.

Again, those people writing novels back at the base wouldn't dare to imagine this! After receiving an item, the system actively prompts the player to use it immediately!

He didn't hesitate at all and immediately used the scroll with a clap of his hands.

[Your Third Talent Slot has been activated.]

Radiant golden light surged from the scroll, rushing into Sterl's body.

If this wasn't happening inside a mine, the towering energy radiance could probably be seen clearly from thousands of miles away.

[Your Third Talent has been unlocked.]

[Based on your feat, the Transcendence system has generated the following three talents for you]

[Derived from the experience of slaying the crippled earth dragon—

Thick Earth Divine Power: You receive a significant boost in mastering all earth attribute skills, allowing you to learn all skills of the same attribute without conditions. The consumption of using the same attribute skills is halved, and their power is increased by 50%.

When you use earth attribute skills to launch attacks, the effect includes a divine amplification, ignoring the opponent's resistance to earth attributes.

Derived from the incredible feat of overcoming as a non-class user—

Rebel: You deal an additional 30% damage to all enemies of higher levels than yourself and receive 30% damage reduction.

When attacking enemies of higher levels, you gain divine amplification, removing one of the opponent's buff states with each attack, and ignoring 15% of their defense.

Dimensional Visitor: After your class change, second class, third class, promotion to legend, and ascent to demigod status, you will receive an additional gift and enhancement from another dimension each time.]

Sterl was momentarily stunned.

The main reason was that all three talents were incredibly attractive, each being at least equivalent to an SS-grade regular talent!

But he didn't hesitate for too long. Thick Earth Divine Power was immediately ruled out as it limited future career development.

Rebel, though practical, gave Sterl a bit of an inflated ego. After all, he had accomplished an achievement in thousands of years of [Transcendence] that no one else had achieved, thanks to his awakening of the evolution cheat.

What if one day Sterl surpassed everyone in levels...

Wouldn't this talent become useless?

On the other hand, the last talent, [Dimensional Visitor], intrigued him. Although its description was vague and didn't specify what kind of enhancements and rewards would be given for job changes and advancements, being listed alongside the first two talents suggested it wouldn't be weak.

Moreover, the system prompt mentioned that this talent was created from an experience of [data deleted], hinting at Sterl's identity as a traveler between dimensions based on the name Dimensional Visitor.

"The third one!" Sterl bit his teeth and silently decided.

[You have acquired the talent: Dimensional Visitor]

Upon hearing the prompt, Sterl immediately opened his panel and couldn't help but grin.

Really, he couldn't suppress his expression.

Dimensional Visitor, there was a plus sign next to this talent!

"Evolution!" Sterl didn't hesitate, but the next second, he was doused with cold water.

Information from the evolution talent merged into his mind. The third talent, Divine Talent, contained powerful divine forces.

And the bodies of ordinary players couldn't withstand divine power.

The current strength of Dimensional Visitor was already the limit for Sterl's physical body. Adding more points would cause him to explode and die.

He estimated that he would be able to evolve this talent once more after changing jobs.

"So, did the scroll just now also modify my body?" he pondered, while shifting his attention to the last reward of this feat.

[Legend Points +1]

[Explanation: Your current legend points are one. All NPCs will have an initial favorable impression of you, and all NPC units and factions that require being more than friendly to unlock quests will now be directly accessible.]

[Explanation: Currently, you are 1/10 of the way to the legend status required for promotion.]

[Explanation: There are other additional effects of legend points, please continue to explore in the game.]

"What?"

"Wow!!" At first, Sterl didn't think the legend points were that important. The initial favorability from NPCs unlocking some quests sounded good, but it seemed somewhat inferior compared to the first two items...

Until Sterl saw the second explanation.

"To ascend to a legendary player, I need 10 legend points??"

"Does this mean that even before I've changed jobs, I've already laid down 1/10 of the foundation for advancing to legend??" Sterl's tone was slightly excited.

What does being a legendary player mean?

There are hardly a few among all of humanity on Earth!

They are extremely rare even in the Divine Mountain Empire and Vastor Continent!

It's said that to ascend to legend, merely leveling up and being strong isn't enough. One also needs to meet certain special conditions, which could potentially block some players with excellent talents for a lifetime.

Now, Sterl finally understood what had hindered those people for a lifetime.

It was mostly due to the legend points!

They were incredibly rare, with only a single feat adding one point!
