Aether stood before the awakening stone, its surface illuminated by a shifting array of dim, multi-coloured lights. The stone pulsed with hues of red, green, and brown, along with numerous other shades, filling the surrounding air with a subdued and mysterious glow that deepened the chamber's enigmatic atmosphere.
Aether placed his palm on top of it. Then a surging energy entered his body through his hand.
Suddenly, a screen emerged in front of him, which you can also say is inside Aether's mind.
[Ding! Establishing a connection to Universal Records]
The Universal Records is a system connected to every new cultivator, which helps the universe grant class and keep records of every cultivator and show their progress.
[Ding! Successfully established a connection to the host]
[Ding! Starting the awakening of the Host Element Affinity]
As the announcement of Universal Records echoed inside Aether's mind, the white mana particles started to emit from the awakening stone. Then a screen appeared on top of the stone, which said:
[Non-attribute Mana Affinity D-Rank] with 55% affinity control over the element.
The crowd was stunned again, not because Non-attribute Mana Affinity is one of the rarest or the weakest affinities, but because this mana has a special ability that can be used when someone reaches the Core Condensation Realm. And what is that special ability, you may ask?
It is to convert the Non-Attributed mana into a specific type of mana and become that type of mana user, like Fire, Water, elements, or the rare elements like space element affinity.
When the commander saw the element affinity of Aether, his eyes lit up, but when he saw the affinity rank, his eyes dimmed.
After seeing his element affinity, Aether felt a sense of disappointment, acutely aware that a D-Rank Non-Attribute affinity might limit his prospects compared to more coveted elemental powers. However, determined not to be defined by this perceived shortcoming, he steeled himself, resolved to make the most of the opportunities that might yet arise, and focused his attention on the message from Universal Records.
[Ding! Host has awakened the D-Rank Non-Attributed Mana]
[Ding! Starting the awakening of the Host Talent Class]
Again, as Universal Records said, a screen appeared on top of the awakening stone.
.............................................…
Available options for the Talent class
(1) Non-Attribute Knight [F-Rank]
(2) Beginner Mage [D-Rank]
(3) Progenitor [Unique-Rank]
.............................................…
The crowd and the commander of this base were stunned again, but this time there were two reasons. The first reason was because of the Unique Talent Class, because this Talent class has no ranks, and it can evolve into higher ranks. But it depended on which type of aspect this class has, like the progenitor class. In this class, you can create anything new that has still not been created, like weapons, alchemy pills, even new types of physics or bloodlines if you dare, and the rank of the class will depend on which rank you have created an item.
And the second reason was the progenitor class, because this class is even rarer in the unique type of talents.
After seeing all the options, Aether chose the most good-looking option in his mind, and he said to Universal Records, I have chosen the Progenitor Talent Class.
As he said this, a message appeared inside his mind.
[Ding! The host has chosen the Progenitor class.]
[Ding! Processing the awakening of the special skill because of the Unique Talent Class given by the Universal Records on the host personality.]
There is one more perk of the unique Talent class, which is that when someone chooses the Unique Talent Class, the Universal Records give them a special skill based on their personality.
[Ding! Host, you have been given the Limit-Breaker [S-Rank] special ability by Universal Records.]
[Ding! The awakening of the host named Aether Duskbane has ended.]
[Ding! The host can now see his status by saying "status".]
After reading the message of the Universal Records, Aether said "Status" in his mind.

While this was going on, somewhere in another space, or you can say that this is a dimension, there was a vast river flowing. Around this river, there were beautiful, vast lands that flowed with greenery and flowers spread through this vast dimension.
And on that land, some figures were resting that looked like deer. This race is called Qilin, one of the great nine races, which has affinity for the fate element. And this river is called the River of Fate, where the fate of all beings is decided by the universe, and the Qilin have been given the task to protect the River of Time by the universe.
Suddenly, all the Qilin that were currently here looked towards the River of Fate.
