-----
What I saw after consuming the [Heavenly Pill of Yin and Yang (SSS Rank)] was quite crazy, to be honest. It was a bit trippy, yeah, but it showed me the glimpse of Heaven that I hadn't seen before.
Just when I had assumed she left after my ascension into an Immortal, due to all the things that have happened so far, the Heavens are regenerating.
And that vision, without a doubt, wasn't just the Heavenly Will.
First of all, Heavenly Will are god-like forces of nature within most Murim Worlds; they control the world's laws and order and protect life from destruction.
Usually, in Cultivation Stories, they're antagonized as the primal force of the world, a heavenly being of infinite power that stands against the protagonist, who desires true freedom.
And in most cases they're like this, always seeking order… and balance.
The Heavenly Will was the cause of the Venerables finally stopping fighting after they almost destroyed the world at their full power.
The Heavenly Will restricted their strength until they became more peaceful with one another, forcing them to go on a journey of self-discovery.
Eventually, through this journey, their love blossomed.
And maybe, predestined to all of this happening for his existence, Song was born from their love and union.
Song was very special, born from the chances and destinies created by the Heavenly Will interfering directly for perhaps the first time in this entire world's history.
And that small action, which went even against her or his own existence, was what also created this long story, these battles, these emotions, these people unifying together.
I guess that, even as the Nine Heavens perished, her story continued with us.
And now, as they began to regenerate, her Story continued, to the point where she had just managed to, or had begun to, break through the threshold.
In the original Novel, my brother went through a couple of Murim Worlds; none of them had the Heavenly Will become a Constellation, but rather another Venerable of sorts.
So this might be the first time that a Heavenly Will and not a human or a person becomes a Constellation…
Well, I can't say for sure; I am not completely sure she'll become one!
But… I think the process has definitely begun.
That vision I had is something called Stellar Form; it is what Constellations materialize to be seen.
Their truest forms, though, aren't physical, nor made of flesh and blood as we typically think. They're cosmic beings beyond the heavens, usually forces of cosmic and starlight energies aligned together.
When they descend, though, and take upon physical forms like Uroboros did, they become susceptible and actually weaker, as they're interdimensional beings.
If they go to a lower dimension and force themselves to become like it, they can naturally be killed by beings of that dimension.
Also, this is the reason why Constellations, and even worse, Void Rulers, are impossible to kill as they are and need to be baited into descending first before we can even fathom doing a single thing against them.
The Heavenly Will is still in the process of Ascension, her Stellar Form is being made first… When I ate that pill, I saw that form of hers because that's what she is currently becoming.
But anyways, that effect… must've been something similar to an Enlightenment, most likely because the pill has her components.
By eating it, and as a Venerable, I've given her that energy back to her; perhaps that'll even strengthen and hasten her recovery.
And…
FLUOSH!
"Phew…"
I felt much stronger now as well! My Cultivation Levels rose a bit more.
Ding!

"So many Stats!"
I felt relieved, as if a wave of cold water in the hot summer washed over my entire body; my muscles felt strengthened and also more flexible too. There was a certain annoying weight over me, but it was going away.
Perhaps those were impurities or something?
Anyways, the last items in the list I had to use yet…
[Skill Evolution Scroll: Yin & Yang Theme (S+++ Rank)] x1
[World of Bestia Themed Skill Book (SS Rank)] x1
[Mechanoid Themed Treasure Chest (SS Rank)] x1
"Okay, let's open this baby up."
I took out the Mechanoid Themed Treasure Chest, of course, and swiftly opened it with all my might put into it.
"Give me something good!"
The Reverse Fortune Privilege triggered too, as I felt something coming from the chest's interior, very shiny!
Ding!
[You have opened the [Mechanoid Themed Treasure Chest (SS Rank)] x1!]
[You have received the following Items: [Random Mechanoid Skill Scroll (SS Rank)] x1 [Body Strengthening Nanomachine Injection (SS Rank)] x1 [Mechanoid Goliath Armored Exo-Arms (SS Rank)] x1 [Mechanoid Golden Photon Katana Prototype: SAKURA-01 (SS Rank)] x1]
The items this time were pretty amazing as well.
"Oh my, what the hell is this?"
There was a huge pair of big, mechanical arms that were like an exosuit in a way.
By equipping the whole thing on my torso, it was supposed to allow me to control these giant mechanical arms for…
Well, additional mechanical limbs? I can see it could be nice for someone else, though with Myriad Self I got all the arms I could ever want.
However, this pair of arms is also like equipment; they got some stats and all, so maybe I could use them… though I might look ridiculous with them.
Maybe I should stealthily gift them to somebody else instead… Well, for now, I'll keep them around anyway.
Then there's this!
FLUOSH!
A beautiful katana that is also like a laser blade, its golden blade made of photon energy that can slice and melt through most physical matter.
These are the katanas that Zero Three wielded with her giant Immortal Cultivator Mech!
They were super deadly and strong and always kept me on my toes; now that I got one, it feels kind of nice.
It's called Sakura too; maybe it could talk?
"Sakura? Sakura Zero One, can you speak to me?"
The Katana remained in silence.
"Ah… Never mind, I feel dumb now."
Sepa and Bastet appeared by my side, glancing at me just when I did that.
"Anna, not every sword will ever talk to you just because it has an assigned name," said Sepa. "Come on…"
"That was a bit funny," giggled Bastet. "Did you expect a feminine voice to resonate from the sword or something? Hahaha!"
"Ugh, shut up! I-I didn't expect that at all!" I complained, storing the Katana inside my inventory for now. "Now… Uh, let's use this right away; screw it."
I quickly used the syringe and injected myself with another dose of System-made Nanomachines not even that Void Ruler could control no matter how hard she tried.
I felt the nanomachines flow through my bloodstream, assimilating with my bones, muscles, blood vessels, and more, washing away impurities along the way too.
"Oh wow, that felt nice…"
Am I getting addicted to this?
Let's hope not…
Ding!
[You have used the [Body Strengthening Nanomachine Injection (SS Rank)]!]
[Your body has absorbed one thousand additional nanomachines, assimilating them into your Body's Muscles, Bones, Cartilages, and Skin, strengthening them greatly.]
[Because you've already done this before twice, the strengthening effects are not as powerful anymore.]
[All your Physical Stats have increased by +4.000!]
[All Machine-related Skills have gained 1 Bonus Level!]
Only four thousand…
Wait, only?
I shouldn't get conceited; it's plenty already!
And I got one bonus level on my machine Skills; that should be enough.
"Now the Skill Scroll…"
I grabbed the metallic-looking scroll, which, once opened, showed hundreds of digital, neon blue-colored words appearing and disappearing.
Its digital powers rapidly merged into my body, as I felt some brand-new Skill emerging.
FLASH!
[You have used the [Random Mechanoid Skill Scroll (SS Rank)]!]
[You learned the [Digital Avatar Infiltration (S): Lv1] Skill!]
Oh wow, Digital Avatar Infiltration?!
This sounds a lot like hacking and all; perhaps I could finally help Zero One in dealing with the last tree with this Skill!
It's only S Rank though, despite the scroll being SS Rank…
So I guess I got unlucky this time?!
But I couldn't be unlucky; I got the reverse fortune…
Wait, maybe this item doesn't even calculate Luck Stat at all.
