At this point Michael could no longer feel a certain gaze on him, aning the Origin Will was once again gone.
Michael did not mind. Though the tis they had interacted could barely be called a thing, Michael had been able to grasp a few things about this being.
Fortunately, for the part that was about to co, the Origin Will was not needed.
"Unique rating?" Michael noticed a new term.
The rewards this ti were sowhat like what he had received when he ascended to Rank 2 with a Transcendence rating, except this ti they were far better. However, the intensity seed to be about the sa.
"Is this what the Origin Will ant by new standards?" Michael could not help but wonder. Perhaps this unique mission might co up again in the future when he wanted to advance.
Michael excitedly glanced through the other rewards.
For one, the fifteen level ups he would gain after evolving were already worth a good portion of his struggle.
Just fifteen level ups alone could save him many months or even years of slow progress.
One should know that at so point in Rank 3 the amount of experience points required to level up reached dozens of millions. It was easy to see why many awakeners eventually switched to focusing mainly on law cultivation, as it was ironically faster and safer.
This was also the stage where the advantage awakeners had over older, normal cultivators was no longer as large as before.
Truly, just as the Origin Will had said, there was so sort of balance in everything.
Then there were the attribute points, whose importance did not need to be elaborated on.
As for the skill mastery ticket, Michael was quite surprised by this.
Due to the preciousness of the ticket, Michael had been very mindful about using it. He had not expected his caution to benefit him now.
Since the system ntioned an upgrade, then it was surely going to be a better version of the skill tickets he currently possessed.
Then there were the big rewards.
The preciousness of an Epic grade treasure could not be overstated.
Michael only had one, the Damaged Coffin of the Forgotten. Though he mainly used it to store his undead, he never forgot about the other miraculous functions of the coffin, with one even having the ability to bring him back from the dead.
And this was only an Epic grade treasure. Michael never imagined that his advancent this ti would give him the opportunity to gain a Legendary grade treasure.
Though it was only a chance, it did not stop Michael from anticipating it excitedly. Hopefully he would get lucky.
As for the other treasures he could not see for so reason, Michael did not believe they would be any worse than the previous ones.
He was excited and worried about what they could be.
He only hoped he did not get a title this ti that would make leveling even more difficult. Well, the future missions he would receive would surely be difficult. He just hoped this one was unique and hopefully had nothing to do with the Origin Will like this one.
With nothing more to examine, Michael did not hesitate any longer and chose to advance.
[Do you wish to Advance?]
[Y/N?]
"Yes."
However, after his voice, nothing happened.
The spatial space inside the Damaged Coffin of the Forgotten
remained completely silent.
Michael waited.
One second passed.
Then another.
And another.
Yet nothing changed.
The expectation on his face slowly faded as confusion began to creep
in.
Michael frowned slightly and instinctively turned his attention
inward.
Soon his familiar system interface appeared before him.
His eyes quickly scanned through the information until he found
what he was looking for.
[Advancent in Progress]
Michael's confusion deepened imdiately.
Advancent in progress?
That ant the process had already started.
But sothing felt wrong.
According to everything he had learned from Aurora and the Land of
Origin, the mont a Rank Advancent to Rank 3 began, the
universe itself would respond.
It was called the universe's blessing.
A process where one's body, soul, and power were acknowledged and
reshaped by the world itself.
Many descriptions described it as overwhelming.
So spoke of imnse pressure.
Others ntioned powerful energy flooding their bodies.
So even described hearing faint echoes of the laws themselves.
Yet right now...
Michael felt absolutely nothing.
No pressure.
No energy.
No strange sensation.
Nothing at all.
Michael slowly looked down at his own hands.
He clenched his fingers once.
Then twice.
Still nothing.
"...That's strange."
A small crease appeared between his brows.
His mind imdiately began analyzing the situation.
Could it be because he was inside the spatial dinsion of the
Damaged Coffin of the Forgotten?
The thought appeared quickly.
But just as quickly, Michael dismissed it.
That explanation did not make sense.
Every record he had read about this advancent never ntioned
location being a factor. Wherever one advanced in a city, at least when advancing to Rank 3, the universe's blessing would still arrive.
It was not sothing that could be blocked so easily.
At least that was what all the sources he had studied claid.
Michael slowly exhaled.
His eyes moved back toward the floating system interface. [Advancent in Progress]
The words remained unchanged.
But the expected phenonon still had not appeared.
Michael leaned back slightly while sitting cross legged among his
undead legion.
The silence around him felt heavier now.
"...Don't tell sothing else is going wrong again."
The thought slipped into his mind before he could stop it.
Considering everything that had already happened today, Michael would not have been surprised if sothing unusual occurred again.
More ti passed.
Five seconds.
Ten.
Then nearly a full minute.
Still nothing happened.
The silence inside the spatial dinsion of the Damaged Coffin of the
Forgotten beca increasingly uncomfortable. Michael's brows slowly tightened.
At first he had assud the process simply required a mont to
begin. But now even he was beginning to feel uneasy.
"...This isn't normal."
He muttered the words quietly to himself.
The panel still displayed the sa ssage. [Advancent in Progress]
But aside from that, there were no other changes.
Michael slowly stood up from his cross legged position. Thousands of undead remained motionless around him. Their empty gazes silently followed their master.
