Bai Cangshu went straight through the two white lions and entered the [Goddess Residence].
The giant silver-haired, red-eyed Goddess was still half-reclining, floating in the air, her skirt fluttering just enough to block all private parts.
"Tsk, it's you again, you impolite little guy, not dead yet?"
The Goddess clearly possessed a certain intelligence; she not only remembered Bai Cangshu but also displayed a clear attitude of disgust.
[Please select the function you wish to choose]
[A. Increase Reincarnators Authority]
[B. Ability Advancement, Ability Removal Related]
[C. Bloodline Advancement, Blood Removal Related]
[D. Sequence Advancement, Sequence Removal Related]
[E. Talent Advancement, Anchoring Related]
[F. Insufficient Authority]
...
This time, Bai Cangshu saw a new option.
"E."
The Goddess lowered her head and glanced at Bai Cangshu again, then descended from the air, her ruby-like eyes turning. Bai Cangshu felt an invisible force instantly sweep over his entire body, like a gentle breeze.
"A talent that has never appeared before, I didn't expect you to be quite valuable."
Bai Cangshu's talent at this moment, after being anchored by the Space, simultaneously displayed two possibilities, but the compatibility was not high enough.
[Talent: Primal Gene Lock · Second Order (Similarity 75%) (A+) - An evolutionary 鎖 unlocked in death and despair, power that surpasses the limits of life;
Absolute Territory - Ultimate Power (Similarity 72%) (A) - The ultimate power that surpasses humanity;]
"Your situation accounts for about 0.34% in the Space. The Space has not recorded any related talents. You can choose to pay a certain price, and I will integrate your talent into the existing system."
"Whether it's [Primal Gene Lock] or [Ultimate Power], both are considered quite potential talents. As such, you can continue with talent advancement, unlocking higher-level gene locks or awakening Great Universe Power."
The Goddess lowered her head, her giant face less than a meter away from Bai Cangshu. Her perfect countenance was flawless, without even visible pores.
But precisely because of this, it instead gave rise to the uncanny valley effect, preventing Bai Cangshu from being attracted to her.
"Or, Goddess, I should have other options, right?"
The Goddess saw at a glance the arrogance in the heart of the tiny Reincarnators beneath her.
That sense of self-importance was practically written on his face, feeling that he was very special and didn't want to be anchored by everything that currently existed.
It seemed that every Reincarnators with this kind of talent was of this type, firmly believing they were destined by Destiny. However, very few ultimately lived to see those talents blossom and bear fruit.
Tsk.
"You can, of course, also give up the integration and let your talent awaken naturally, ultimately revealing its true form, provided that..."
"Live until then, I know."
Bai Cangshu smiled and nodded. The Logic of his thinking was not actually what was called arrogance or self.
Rather, it was purely the Logic of value. The fact that his talent could simultaneously possess the characteristics of two powerful abilities meant, to some extent, that it inevitably held more value than a single ability.
Spending extra cost at this point to have this Goddess integrate his talent into one of them, just to be able to spend special points to upgrade his talent as quickly as possible – no matter how you thought about it, this was a huge waste of resources.
Moreover, the resources lost were irreversible high-level ones.
Even without his explanation, the Goddess could see through Bai Cangshu's thoughts and descended a little further from the air again.
"Goddess, can this curse mark of mine be upgraded?"
Bai Cangshu raised his left hand and displayed the [Secret Rite: Inari God's Strike]. This item was actually Bai Cangshu's strongest burst at the moment.
But Bai Cangshu wasn't sure if this thing counted as [Equipment] or [Ability].
The Goddess merely glanced at it and then looked away.
[Secret Rite: Inari God's Strike, enhancement requires 1 c-rank special point, charging requires 1 d-class special point]
Bai Cangshu thought for a moment. At this time, he had 1 b-class special point, 2 c-rank special points, and 1 d-class special point remaining.
Considering that he would need to upgrade [Ripple Breathing] later, he did not enhance the curse mark. He only spent 1 d-class special point to charge the curse mark.
This was also the convenience of Reincarnators. The so-called incense wish power and faith could all be directly resolved with the Goddess through special points.
The power that most plot characters needed to accumulate over years and months was merely resource exchange for Reincarnators.
As long as they used it properly, Reincarnators were a pack of bloodthirsty wolves who "fought to sustain their fight."
Bai Cangshu then split one c-rank special point into 3 d-class special points again.
[Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability · Ripple Breathing Lv4 has been upgraded. Current: Ripple Breathing Lv5]
[Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability · Ripple Breathing Lv5 has been upgraded. Current: Ripple Breathing Lv6]
[Energy increased by 1 point. Current: 5 (3+2)]
Subsequently, under the Goddess's eager gaze, Bai Cangshu offered the c-rank special point, pushing Ripple Breathing to Lv7.
[Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability · Ripple Breathing Lv6 has been upgraded. Current: Ripple Breathing Lv7]
[Energy +1. Current: 6 (4+2)]
[Constitution +1. Current: 17 (15+2)]
[Ripple Breathing (C+) has broken through to Lv7. Please choose the deepening direction]
[A: Ripple Enhancement. When active, additionally increases Strength, Agility, and Constitution by 2 points (This effect cannot trigger extreme values)]
[B: Scarlet Ripple Dash. Running scarlet Ripple allows the Ripple to generate high heat, attacks come with high temperature effect]
[C: Senjutsu Ripple Dash. Ripple possesses the effect of penetrating walls and bricks]
[D: Cyan Ripple Dash. Running cyan Ripple can spread through liquids]
[E: Silver Ripple Dash. Running silver Ripple possesses the effect of transmitting through metal]
[F: Ripple Surge. Ripple intensity is additionally increased, Energy +1 (Rare)]
When each ability is raised to Lv7, it is already equivalent to reaching a considerably profound level, and the enhancement gained is also quite powerful. However, for Bai Cangshu, he did not consider the numerous strategic battle scenarios in JOJO.
His fighting style leaned more towards using bursts of speed and strength to directly destroy opponents. Therefore, he only thought for a Kasha between options A and F before choosing F.
The reason is that although the attribute values increased by option A are high, they cannot trigger the extreme value effect. Thus, it is essentially similar to the effect when he activates his talent, still an enhancement of his own attributes but without qualitative change.
The increase in Energy and Ripple intensity, on the other hand, was something that other methods could not temporarily replace.
After confirming the option, between Bai Cangshu's changing breaths, he could almost feel the Ripple inside his body, saturated to the point of overflowing.
The rapidly increasing Energy attribute not only increased the intensity of the Ripple Bai Cangshu could release, but also greatly enhanced Ripple Breathing's healing ability for himself.
As long as he didn't suffer massive damage like limb loss that prevented him from using Ripple Breathing, Bai Cangshu actually possessed very strong "combat endurance."
Thus, Bai Cangshu was left with only 1 b-class special point and 1 d-class special point. Considering that the materials required for [Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Consanguinity] had a considerable probability of appearing in various anime derivative worlds set in Japan.
He kept this b-class special point as a backup, which would allow him to temporarily transform into an existence similar to Muzan using [Curse Blood Consanguinity] at certain special moments, gambling for survival.
"Reincarnators carrying sin, aren't you going to increase your Reincarnators star rank?"
"Sometimes, things that seem useless to you can have a big impact..."
The Goddess needed special points, no doubt, but Bai Cangshu couldn't tell if she was hinting at something.
But Bai Cangshu would not use up the b-class special point just because of this "riddler-like" hint. He waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Next time, Goddess."

[Please return to your private Space immediately, mission deployment is about to begin]
Shortly after Bai Cangshu came out of the Goddess Residence, he saw the familiar prompt. With a thought, he had returned to his private Space, quietly waiting for deployment.
At the same time, in a certain vast private Space, the man in the green robe also picked up the [Black Blade Night] next to the chair. He looked at the clock floating in the air and muttered to himself,
"Is it too late? What a lucky newcomer."
[3...]
[2...]
[1...]
[Deployment begins...]
Countless streams of information pierced through Bai Cangshu in an instant. Bai Cangshu had begun to get used to this feeling. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up, and his heart rate slightly accelerated.
Thump, thump, thump...
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the thunder-like heartbeat woke Bai Cangshu. Bai Cangshu blinked, and the appearance of the world entered his vision slightly later.
The pitch-black plaza, dilapidated tall buildings, walls covered in moss and bloodstains, and slanted Neon signs occasionally flickering, highlighting the more eerie atmosphere.
A Woman stood in the corner about fifty meters away from Bai Cangshu, her face pale. Her violent heartbeat was particularly grating in this quiet Space.
She also saw Bai Cangshu wake up and mouthed words at him, but unfortunately, the standard common language proficiency of Reincarnators did not include the ability of lip-reading.
The next moment.
Bang!
The wall behind the Woman and the Woman's body exploded simultaneously. A giant cyan arm extended from the darkness. The arm was covered in human faces, some crying, some laughing. Every face was carefully watching the Space in the darkness at this moment.
"It's quiet now, it's really good when it's quiet, hehe..."
"Yeah, that heartbeat was so noisy, so noisy!"
The faces on the arm spoke to each other.
Bai Cangshu stood in the shadows, watching this scene expressionlessly.
He knew very well that the Space would not arrange a "first encounter kill" when Reincarnators had just entered a world. Therefore, as long as he didn't do anything drastic at this moment, he would be safe for a short period.
Blood flowed on the ground. Bai Cangshu lowered his head and saw a line of text appear.
[World loading complete]
[Mission World: Jujutsu Kaisen Derivative World B3243]
[World Type: Team Competition] (Reincarnators fighting in this world will generate scarlet drops)

...
Bai Cangshu looked at the large section of prompts that popped up before the world milestones had even refreshed, and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.
"It seems this world has been thoroughly messed up by some incredible guy."
