The Era of Gods-Chapter 613 - : Guiding the Titan Ancient God Bloodline (Three Updates)

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Guiding the Titan Ancient God Bloodline (Three Updates)

The smell of this thing isn’t particularly special, much like rancid water, and compared to the various magic potions he’s encountered over the past few years, it’s quite friendly.

But the taste is akin to fermented excrement, and saying it’s extremely difficult to drink would be an understatement; he almost spat it out immediately after the first gulp.

He continually told himself that, without enough magic stones to buy the next bottle, he must restrain the urge to vomit and swallow it. The next second, a burning sensation rose from his stomach as if he had swallowed a mouthful of boiling water. It seemed to ferment within his stomach, his skin instantly turned red, and a wave of heat emanated from his body.

Lin Xiao understood that the effects of the potion were kicking in, so he immediately started meditating using the Basic Meditation Technique. His will sensed this extra spiritual power arising with the effect of the potion and directed it into his own sea of consciousness.

Spiritual Power +0.15….

Mana +0.17….

Spiritual Power +0.16….

Mana +0.18….

Spiritual Power +0.15….

On the attribute panel, the numbers representing Spiritual Power and Mana continuously alternated in increasing, while the pain he endured in his body intensified. The boiling effect of the potion seemed to penetrate through the stomach wall into every cell. Lin Xiao felt as if every single cell was ablaze, and he even thought he could smell the scent of his body charring, leaving him feeling weak and powerless.

Of course, his body charring was just an illusion, but the weakness was not.

The forced enhancement of Mana and Spiritual Power came not only from the potion but also from the stimulant effect of the Awakening Potion itself, which leveraged his life force to increase his Mana – the two combined to strengthen him.

Fortunately, the pain was still within his threshold, especially during the time the potion took effect. Lin Xiao consciously started to draw the power of the Crystal Wall Origin and the minute threads of Titan Ancient God Bloodline from the Creation Magic Cube into his body.

He was attempting to merge his Titan Ancient God Bloodline with the power system of the Wizard World in a legitimate way, circumventing the even more formidable will of the Wizard World compared to Gaia Will, to regain the True Body’s strength.

If successful, he could regain at least the powerful strength of a Great Wizard above Rank 6 of the Wizard World, directly surpassing Shadow Wind and Phoenix, whose whereabouts were currently unknown.

This was crucial, as it largely dictated the outcome of this competition.

After all, even a small fraction of a True God’s power would allow him to start with the strength of an Official Wizard of at least Level 2 or Level 3, which was many times stronger than his current level as an Apprentice, and if he couldn’t cut corners to overtake them, he would have a hard time catching up later on.

A trace of the Titan Ancient God Bloodline, wrapped by the power of the Crystal Wall Origin and further enclosed by his Spiritual Power, was meticulously extracted from the Creation Magic Cube.

This was the Titan Ancient God Bloodline he had planned to extract directly from the True Body and store within the Creation Magic Cube. Of course, he couldn’t and didn’t try to directly extract from the True Body’s power suppressed within the True Spirit by the will of the Wizard World. His idea was to first integrate this portion of the bloodline into his body, transforming himself along the path of a Bloodline Wizard.

Once the Titan Ancient God Bloodline gradually integrated into his body and gained recognition by the Wizard World, he could use it as a foundation to slowly incorporate the suppressed True Body of the Titan Ancient God within the True Spirit, thereby reconstructing a Body of Innate Titan Ancient God recognized by the Wizard World.

This step was crucial – without a catalyst, it would be impossible to extract all the powers of the True Body suppressed within the True Spirit unless he became an Ancestor.

A minuscule thread of the Titan Ancient God Bloodline merged into his body, slowly permeating every cell along with the Awakening Potion, beginning the gradual enhancement of his cells.

Lin Xiao experienced this change with both nervousness and anticipation, fearful of being detected by the Wizard World’s will.

To his delight, he didn’t sense any anomalies, and the enhancement of his body proceeded very smoothly.

As this trace of bloodline completely integrated into his body and the effects of the Awakening Potion faded, he stopped and didn’t dare to draw in a second strand of the Titan Ancient God Bloodline.

He was well aware that he dared to do this only by leveraging the Awakening Potion and having been promoted to a Level 3 wizard apprentice. Now that the potion had worn off and the promotion was complete, attempting to draw in more bloodline would certainly have led to a terrible situation he did not want to face, so he decisively halted the process.

The results of this attempt pleased him greatly, even more so than his advancement to Level 3 wizard apprentice. It meant that when he advanced to an Official Wizard next time, he could once again draw upon the Titan Ancient God Bloodline to enhance himself, and the next time he could integrate an even greater amount of the bloodline.

Correspondingly, with each future advancement, he could do the same, and each time he could merge an even larger portion of the bloodline. It was foreseeable that after a certain advancement, he would completely integrate the Titan Ancient God Bloodline, at which point he could fully restore his strength and then look for the Ancestor’s Mark.

It was foreseeable that this time would not be too far off, especially since he could cheat, unlike Shadow Wind and Phoenix.

He was also thankful that it was a True-Body Descend this time. If it had only been an Avatar Descend, it would have been all over, as the status in the Wizard World would definitely have cut off any connection between the True Body and the Incarnation, making it impossible to use the Creation Magic Cube as he could in the Star Soul Crystal Wall Universe.

With a thought, Lin Xiao summoned his attribute panel.

Lin Xiao/Leng Lan.

Attributes: Constitution 11.7, Strength 12.6, Agility 10.6, Spiritual Power 21.8, Mana 16.4.

Skills: None.

Spells: Zero-ring magic (Mage Hand), Zero-ring magic (Wind Blade), Zero-ring magic (Air Shield), Zero-ring magic (Wind Speed), Zero-ring magic (Vortex)

Status: Mana Active (Continuous).

Before his promotion, his Constitution, Strength, and Agility attributes were all around five points. Normally, a Level 3 wizard apprentice only gains two to three points in these attributes, and only bloodline wizards see significant increases. However, unless they belong to those legendary bloodlines, normal bloodline wizards do not exceed ten points in these attributes until they become official wizards.

Here, it should be explained that this attribute growth is not linear, but exponential.

Many people may not understand what linear growth and exponential growth are, so let me explain.

For an ordinary person, the physical attribute limit is ten points. Thus, twenty points are equivalent to double the physical attributes of an ordinary person, one hundred points are equivalent to ten times, and one thousand points are equivalent to one hundred times. The increase continues in this manner; that is linear growth.

On the other hand, exponential growth can be illustrated using an example from a game called D&D. In D&D, an average person’s attribute is ten points, but eleven points does not mean a 10% increase—it could be a 50% increase or even a doubling.

Okay, to put it more simply: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32….2048…. This is exponential growth.

In the Wizard World, physical attributes are measured in this way, with every ten points representing a threshold or, in professional terms, an “energy level,” and each increase in an energy level is equivalent to +10 in the attribute.

This is also the simplest method to measure the actual strength of a bloodline wizard: below ten points of attribute is an apprentice, above ten points is a Rank 1 wizard, twenty points is a Level 2 wizard, and fifty points of attribute correspond to the strength of a Fifth Level wizard. Then, attributes above ninety points…

Still correspond to a Rank 8 wizard, not an Ancestor of Rank 9.

Because, although there is only one rank difference between Rank 8 and Rank 9, the gap in strength is too vast.

It’s like saying that someone with a monthly salary of a thousand can claim their annual salary is less than a billion, and someone with a monthly salary of several million plus bonuses totaling tens of millions can also claim their annual salary is less than a billion. The difference between a monthly salary of a thousand and several million…

In the Wizard World, there is no exact figure for the attributes of an Ancestor. The limited information about the Wizard World in the Fifth War Zone contains nothing about this topic.

Back to the subject. With the help of a minuscule amount of Titan Ancient God bloodline power, Lin Xiao instantly acquired physical attributes comparable to a regular bloodline wizard, which shows how powerful the Titan Ancient God bloodline is.

With a breath still tinged with blood, Lin Xiao exhaled forcefully, and the air traveled several meters before hitting the door with a faint sound. Taking a deep breath and twisting his body, his skeleton crackled, and his muscles, strengthened by the integration of the bloodline, rippled up and down like flowing water. He was overwhelmed by a sensation called strength.

The promotion to a Level 3 wizard apprentice was complete, yet his true strength was now invincible under an official wizard.

Feeling this immense power, Lin Xiao did not feel an ounce of pride but began to think about what to do next.

If it weren’t for this accident, he would have written to his clan to report this good news, and then his family would have provided more magic stones and resources for his continued learning.

But alas, his clan had been destroyed, and apart from a few relatives studying abroad, all had died. Now, the surviving cousins were fighting over the clan’s not so substantial remaining assets, and he could no longer obtain any support, having to rely on himself to make money.

Fortunately, there were plenty of ways to make money within the school, such as being an assistant to a mentor, completing tasks posted by mentors or other wealthy students, or taking on tasks issued by the academy.

The latter was the most common and most lucrative option, as many apprentices from modest backgrounds liked to take on various tasks from the academy.

After resting for a few days and waiting for the post-promotion vigor to gradually subside and his mana and spiritual power to return to calm, Lin Xiao immediately went out to make preparations.

First, he went to the trade area and purchased a set of elaborate weapon equipment, spending two magic stones and four magic coins, the most valuable of which was the longsword imbued with sturdiness and sharpness.

Then, he bought several potions that restored a small amount of spiritual power for five magic coins, along with some food and other consumables, which left him almost out of money.

Next, he headed to the mission area of the school. After observing for two hours, he picked up what seemed to be a lucrative task.

A mentor from the academy intended to go to an underground palace ruin in the wild to search for a magic potion known as Ancient Moss, which only grew in that ruin. The mentor hired a total of fifteen Level 3 or higher wizard apprentices to help collect the moss. Each would earn five magic stones for the trip, and one magic stone for every piece of Ancient Moss collected.

This mission was quite good. The mentor was an official wizard, so safety was not their concern, and sometimes they might even receive the mentor’s protection.

It was also for this reason that the mission required Level 3 wizard apprentices; otherwise, it might not have been his turn.

Although there were many people in the school, there were not too many Level 3 wizard apprentices.

Before long, the fifteen apprentices assembled and set off, with the mentor having already gone ahead.
