————————–

Lines of glowing text hovered in the void of s.p.a.ce.

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought again.

Converting one of my Thaumaturgies into a Huang Quan or Wraith Divine Skill?

I didn’t expect such a benefit after achieving Impossibly Unknown realm.

Thaumaturgy…

Without a doubt, I should convert [Dreamjolt].

After all, this was something granted by the War G.o.d UI, a rare Lightning-type Thaumaturgy that had evolved to its final level, an exceptionally powerful ability.

I’ve simply been neglecting to use this Thaumaturgy recently because it required me to hit an opponent in order to take effect.

Following my growth, everyone who had taken a hit from me would die before they became stunned.

So this Thaumaturgy gradually became less and less useful.

Although its potency had always been considerable.

Then——-

Gu Qing Shan focused his mind and chose the Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]

[You’ve chosen the Thaumaturgy: Dreamjolt]

[Will you convert it into a Huang Quan Divine Skill, or Wraith Divine Skill]

Gu Qing Shan paused shortly and asked: “Can you give me a hint?”

The War G.o.d UI replied: [Your status within the Huang Quan realm or Wraith realm would determine the power of your converted Divine Skill]

Gu Qing Shan understood right away and said: “Then it’s definitely the Huang Quan realm, after all, I’m the Huang Quan Devil King”

The War G.o.d UI corrected him: [That isn’t the case, your status within the Wraith realm is, in fact, not inferior compared to the Huang Quan Devil King]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised and asked: “How come?”

[After killing the three Wraith Lords, you are now the only Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm] the War G.o.d UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned again.

——how could that be?

He thought for a bit and gradually realized.

—–originally, the three Wraith Lords were already competing for the position of the Wraith realm’s Warlord.

This was something that the servant of Wraith Lord Fate Obstruction, Xue Nu, told me.

But now I’ve killed all three Wraith Lords.

So I’m the only one remaining?

The War G.o.d UI continued: [You are the only candidate for the Wraith realm——-]

Gu Qing Shan cut it off: “Wait a moment! I remember that there were countless Deities in the Huang Quan realm, so there should be similarly countless candidates to partic.i.p.ate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy. Why am I the only one remaining in the Wraith realm after killing the three Wraith Lords?”

The War G.o.d UI replied: [That is a mystery of the Samsara, you will need to explore it yourself, the System can only detect the current circ.u.mstances]

For some reason, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall the ghostly being he met in the dark tunnel.

…

「 …The wraiths… have already selected three Chosen Saints among themselves, each with their own t.i.tle, who are respectively the Fate Obstruction Wraith, Giant Frame Wraith, and Karmic Fire Wraith 」

…

This was what it told me initially.

After that, due to the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and the power of [Null Tribulation], it changed its mind:

…

「 … last power… shall be used to manifest your Chosen Saint power… 」

…

Then, I’m actually the last remaining Chosen Saint for the Wraith realm?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, another line of text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[You have the Samsara Wicked Mask, as well as the only qualified Chosen Saint, so if you convert ‘Dreamjolt’ into a Wraith Divine Skill, its power would be supported by the entirety of the Wraith realm’s Origin power]

[That Divine Skill would become the strongest Wraith Realm Divine Skill]

Gu Qing Shan stood still in thought for a few moments.

——–that isn’t the only benefit.

If I convert it into a Huang Quan Divine Skill, when I have to fight against the Deities of Huang Quan in the future, they might be able to see through me.

After all, since everyone was a member of Huang Quan, everyone had gotten used to the powers of Huang Quan.

At that time, if I have a Wraith Divine Skill…

From my experience with them so far, whether it was the Life Talismans, their weapons, or the Guise Hexes, all of the Wraith realm’s powers had been eerie and ferocious.

Then——-

“I choose the Wraith realm, I will convert [Dreamjolt] into a Wraith Divine Skill”

Gu Qing Shan decided.

[Are you sure?] the War G.o.d UI asked.

“I’m sure” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Lines of notification appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[This conversion will be completely unpredictable, once it has begun, there would be no room for regrets]

[The conversion will begin in three seconds]

Within his Thought Sea, the crimson red starlight abruptly surged to become brighter and illuminated his entire Thought Sea.

What Gu Qing Shan didn’t expect was that following the starlight’s expansion, the Samsara Wicked Mask seemed to have sensed something and began hovering in the air right at the center of his Thought Sea.

—-at a glance, it seems to be waiting for something.

Suddenly, an arc of light blue lightning manifested from deep inside his Thought Sea.

Lightning Thaumaturgy, [Dreamjolt]!

This arb of blue lightning turned into a crackling ball of lightning while hovering inside his Thought Sea.

All the crimson starlight swiftly receded and entered the ball of lightning.

Something even more unexpected suddenly occurred.

All the patterns that had manifested on the Samsara Wicked Mask suddenly detached themselves like ink snakes or dragons and flew towards the ball of lightning as well.

The Samsara Wicked Mask then returned to its original pure-white form.

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

———those patterns originally manifested from him absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tower, which the Samsara Wicked Mask had upgraded into a higher-levelled Guise Hex: Past Wraithly Form.

The War G.o.d UI had even reminded him not to arbitrarily use this Guise Hex as its power was indiscernible.

He didn’t expect that this mysterious [Past Wraithly Form] to also partic.i.p.ate in this Divine Skill conversion process.

At this time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[You are the only Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm, the Wraith realm’s entire path to supremacy lies with you alone]

[The Wraith realm’s Origin power is currently fully exerting itself to convert your Divine Skill]

[Dreamjolt was the most advanced Lightning Thaumaturgy, Past Wraithly Form was also an ultimate Wraith Guise Hex, and because you had previously created a World Iris Technique, this Divine Skill had been determined to be a Wraith Iris Technique]

[The new Divine Skill is about to be created]

[3]

[1]

[You’ve obtained the Wraith realm World Offering: Mountain Wraith (1st stage)]

[Offering Iris Technique: Mountain Wraith (1st stage)]

[This is an exclusive Divine Skill at the very top of the Wraith realm, it can evolve]

[This Divine Skill is divided into a total of 9 stages, each stage containing a different level of power]

[When you evolve this Divine Skill to its 9th stage, you will learn of the secret of the Wraith realm’s destruction]

[Note: This Divine Skill originated from the Wraith realm’s Origin itself, carrying a profound implications, you must carefully put your mind into experiencing it in order to learn of the Divine Skill’s power]

Gu Qing Shan had only just finished reading this when something else unexpectedly occurred before he could ponder on it any further—–

From within the ball of lightning that had been imbued with the crimson red starlight, the Past Wraithly Form’s rune patterns turned into a ma.s.s of transparent blue light.

This blue light jumped out of Gu Qing Shan’s Thought Sea and followed his acupoints to enter his left eye.

“Arg—–”

Gu Qing Shan felt a wave of almost unbearable aching pain from his left eye.

Clutching his eye and clenching his teeth tightly, he stood still for a long while.

It wasn’t until several dozen seconds later that this aching pain slowly faded.

Gu Qing Shan cautiously relaxed his hands and tried looking at his reflection in the hot spring.

Only to see that his left eye had returned to normal.

Gu Qing Shan continued observing for a long while and found that only a faint yellow presence of Huang Quan could be occasionally felt from it.

—–as if that arc of lightning earlier had been nothing but an illusion.

Gu Qing Shan sighed heavily in relief and muttered to himself:

“It’s good that things have returned to normal, I was worried that if I have to carry an eye glowing with electricity around from now on, that would be too eye-catching”

As soon as he said that, a blue glow appeared from inside his iris, giving off a faint ‘zi zi’ crackling before fading back into his iris.

Gu Qing Shan froze.

His expression was turning solemn.

——the fact that that happened meant that the Divine Skill was so powerful that I still haven’t fully grasped control of it.

I’ll have to try using this Divine Skill at least once in order to get a feel for and fully grasp it.

Gu Qing Shan looked around.

There was n.o.body else within the hot spring.

The wraiths were experts at Causality Barriers, and the Wraith Temple was littered all over with these things, even this hot spring had been isolated within a small barrier.

At this point in time—-

Demon Dragon had caught Cang Wu Zhang and was most likely talking with ‘myself’ in the past.

Zhao Jiu Xuan had also left the Wraith Temple to buy some food from the opposing main street.

If I want to test this new Divine Skill, it must be right now.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up and gazed solemnly at the faux mountain decoration of the hot spring.

——Iris Technique: Mountain Wraith!

A blue ray of light shot out from his eyes like a bolt of lightning and struck the faux mountain.

Instantly, the faux mountain began glowing.

A line of text appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[Dreamjolt’s lightning attribute had been triggered!]

At the very next moment, the glittering lightning suddenly turned into a ferocious wraith visage and swiftly entered the faux mountain without any difficulties.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

——-he was already very satisfied with being able to restrain someone through the Lightning attribute using his iris.

So what was the wraith visage that the lightning suddenly turned into?

While he was thinking that, the entire faux mountain thoroughly collapsed and crumbled into fine dust before fading away without a trace.

Another notification appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[The Mountain Wraith is carried through the lightning bolt, which would then enter Dreamjolt to erase all living beings and all things]

[You’ve gained an initial impression of this Divine Skill’s power]

[This Divine Skill’s description is as follow:]

[Offering Iris Technique: Mountain Wraith]

[By activating this Divine Skill, a bolt of lightning would definitely strike an enemy within your sight, activating the power of Dreamjolt, then summon the Mountain Wraith to offer your opponent’s everything to the Wraith realm’s Origin]
