"In this life, I will uncover the truth behind my parents' disappearance—and take back everything that rightfully belongs to me from the hands of the Elliott family."
Morning light filtered through the cracked windowpanes, casting its faint glow into the shabby room.
Alex stood before the dimensional mirror, staring at the psionic interface suspended in front of him.
His breath was steady as a blade—yet thunder lurked beneath the stillness.
[Level]: 2 (99%)
—Just one final infusion of psionic energy, and he would ascend to Tier Three, complete his Soul Awakening, and unlock his Bloodline Blessing.
On this continent known as Bluestar, every mortal could cultivate psionic energy, accumulating levels.
Upon breaking through to Tier Three, they would awaken their innate talent and officially step onto the path of a Godslayer.
In his previous life, due to the influence of a myth-tier forbidden relic secretly planted by Manfred—the Falling Star Crystal—he awakened only a pitiful D-rank talent, and was mocked by the world as a waste.
But now, reborn, everything would change.
With his bloodline, even awakening at S-rank would be entirely within reason—
His father, Harley, was the first "Divine Son" of the Elliott family in over a century, bearer of the rare SS-rank Destruction Talent: Dragonflame Cataclysm.
His mother was a direct descendant of the Tantai Holy Clan, wielder of the S-rank combat psionic: Shadowblade Storm.
According to the Imperial Academy's research reports, talent ranks were heavily influenced by heredity:
The nobler the bloodline, the higher the chance of awakening powerful blessings.
"First, I need to remove the Falling Star Crystal hidden in this house."
Alex's gaze sharpened like fire. He walked steadily into the washroom.
He remembered clearly: in his previous life, right after his awakening, he had discovered that cursed trap—inside the toilet tank.
A bean-sized crystal, deep red and irregularly shaped, emitting faint psionic ripples.
That vile object was none other than the tumor Manfred had planted in secret.
With calm precision, Alex lifted the tank lid and reached into the icy water, fingers brushing against the small crystal, lifting it out slowly.
It was entirely dark red, irregular in shape, with a dim inner glow that pulsed like seeping blood—
Exactly as he remembered. A Myth-tier Interference Device:
[Falling Star Crystal]
Effect: Significantly reduces the target's soul resonance with their bloodline blessing, drastically lowering the chance of high-tier awakening—
Turning potential prodigies into worthless failures.
Its range of fifty meters was more than enough to pollute every corner of this rundown slum dwelling.
Alex let out a low chuckle.
"Quite the vicious trap, Manfred."
"Even willing to waste a myth-tier relic just to ruin me? You must've really feared my return."
But what you never expected…
Was that I would die—and be reborn.
Now, this priceless [Falling Star Crystal] had become a gift marking his rebirth.
He slipped it into his psionic satchel—a spatial relic bestowed by the Will of the World upon every Godslayer, capable of storing countless items and sealing spiritual pressure.
Even a myth-tier forbidden object couldn't exert the slightest influence within it.
Everything was ready.
Alex returned to the main room and sat cross-legged upon a blackwood ritual chair.
Eyes closed, his psionic energy began to flow, gentle and deep like nine layered rivers moving through his soul.
On Bluestar, there were two ways to advance one's psionic tier:
First—Hunt monsters in the wild and absorb the residual spirit energy in their corpses. Fast and efficient, but perilous.
Second—Use cultivation mantras to absorb ambient psionic essence from heaven and earth. Slow, but steady and safe.
Those of common birth almost always took the second path.
As the former heir of a noble clan, Alex had once possessed the right to hunt monsters for quick advancement.
But after being exiled, he could only rely on solitary cultivation—day after day, year after year.
"Eighteen years old… finally standing at the threshold of Awakening."
"In this life, I will reclaim everything that was mine—piece by piece."
Time passed slowly. Psionic energy surged like the tide.
Two hours later, a sudden system chime exploded in his mind:
[Congratulations! You have advanced to Tier 3 (Initiate Rank)!]
[Talent Awakening Ceremony — Initiating!]
As the voice fell, a column of radiant white light descended from the heavens, enveloping his entire body.
Moments later, golden brilliance burst from within his soul—
As if he were the chosen of the gods, calling down fate itself!
Alex's eyes flew open, heart pounding with excitement.
"Finally… I've reached this moment—Awakening!"
His gaze burned as he looked into his consciousness, where a golden interface shimmered brightly.
In his past life, at this very moment, the talent he had awakened was:
[D-Rank Talent: Redistribution]
[Effect: Gain 100 bonus attribute points upon awakening (one-time effect)]
It was this stagnant, growthless, and utterly mediocre talent that had dragged his life into the abyss.
Now, as the familiar system voice echoed once more—Alex's expression froze.
[You have awakened: D-Rank Talent "Redistribution"!]
"What…?"
"I already removed the Falling Star Crystal's interference. Don't tell me… this really was my original talent…?"
In that moment, he was lost in doubt.
But just as the golden light was about to fade—
An anomaly erupted!
His entire consciousness quaked, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was fracturing beneath his soul.
The golden radiance suddenly transformed into a burst of seven-colored divine light, like a rainbow tearing through the void, descending directly into his sea of awareness!
Then, a solemn and majestic voice echoed from the firmament above—
Like a god whispering across eternity:
[Congratulations. You have triggered Divine Resonance!]
[You have awakened a second talent: SSS-Rank · Unique Blessing · Infinite Ascension!]
[Your first talent "Redistribution" has been forcibly ascended!]
[You have awakened the ascended version: SSS-Rank · Redistribution (True Form)!]
[Attribute point limit unlocked… Additional points now being granted…]
In an instant, an unending torrent of psionic energy surged into his body, and his four primary stats began to skyrocket like a raging inferno!
"Infinite Ascension… Unique Blessing…"
"This… this is what it means to possess a destiny-born bloodline!"
