Free Web NovelChapter 789: Chapter 382: Earth’s Favor
This is quite something.
The new functionality of Star Soul surprised Li Ang. He opened the panel and looked at the item for generating a Star Soul embryo.
[Item: Nurture Star Soul Embryo. Required conditions: 100% progress consumption of Creation Formula, environmental system, Divine Crimson Gold, corresponding attribute Purest Star Crystal...]
Li Ang was speechless at the long list of top-tier materials.
No wonder even the Deus People, who inherited the power of the Primordial Being, didn’t make these weapons fill the skies; the requirements are way too ridiculous.
And for such an absurd existence, the system could actually conjure it up, further giving Li Ang a sense of unreality.
Creating his own Star Soul was currently impossible, so he looked towards strengthening the existing Star Souls.
Only the Earth Serpent Anastasia was there.
Besides Anna, Li Ang couldn’t strengthen other Star Souls, probably because only she truly belonged to the Star Flower Travel Corps.
Just by injecting the Creation Formula, he could directly enhance Anna’s power.
And there weren’t any extra options for strengthening her, only a progress bar that displayed her tier at key points.
Due to the blessings of Akuya and Agni, Anna was just a step away from Tier 7; now advancing her to Tier 7 only required 10% of the Creation Formula progress.
The Rune Stones obtained from the Dark Night Ancient City Secret Box, excluding those used up now, could provide about 30% of the Creation Formula progress.
Adding the remnants collected after summoning Bahamut, he could consider having 50% of the progress.
He was curious to see what the "Power of Creation" he would receive after collecting it all was like, but various events kept consuming it. Fortunately, the results from these consumptions were quite rewarding.
After some thought, Li Ang decided to give it a try.
Collecting it all seemed a long way off, and he would have to seek out things related to the Deus People, the Primordial Being, and Star Souls to increase the progress. Rather than that, he thought it better to first enhance his strength as an investment for the future, increasing his ability to collect it later.
He moved his fingers and adjusted Anna’s tier to Tier 7.
A divine light enveloped him, and the Creation Formula stored in the system emerged, forming a circle of mysterious floating patterns in front of him.
Within the patterns, Anna, who didn’t quite understand what was happening, was summoned over.
Seeing Li Ang, she calmed down, and the surrounding energy poured into her body.
Like Zoe during transformation, the girl’s entire body was surrounded by bright light; her clothing decomposed into pure energy, and amidst the energy, the magic power contained in the starlight around her body suddenly surged.
Li Ang was torn about where to place his gaze on this bewitching, non-human girl, but a certain inexplicable connection rushing through his heart made him forget everything.
He saw... the Earth.
Intertwined river networks glistened with golden light in the sunset, and on the riverside plains, golden crops bent low under the heavy weight of the grains, swaying gently with the breeze...
Endless mountain ranges harbored the overwhelming power to destroy all in their path, and deep within the Earth, flames pulsed rhythmically.
It, too, could unleash wild power, but heaviness and inclusiveness were its essence.
Yet the Earth was groaning in pain, bearing the curse of ancient calamities, the crimson hue that eradicates all life.
These scenes were far from mere images, and Li Ang was convinced they came from some force, a force that once belonged to the great land of Sable, to the Earth System of Nebis, parts of which constituted Anna.
Whether her outfit or appearance, neither emerged merely for aesthetics; the lines mimicking countless landscapes on Earth had their own reason for forming.
After the scenery washed over him, Li Ang saw Anna ascending in rank.
Her body matured by one or two years, with more distinct curves; when her outfit returned and she landed on the ground, Li Ang got a clear view of her face—though still holding some youthful innocence, it bore a more intense radiance.
Anna lifted her skirt and bowed deeply to Li Ang.
"Greetings to the one beloved by the Divine Child, you have finally mastered the power of a Spiritual Forger and established a true connection with me, becoming my Master. From now on, I shall serve by your side."
What does this mean?
Li Ang’s mind stirred, and Anna’s thoughts were transmitted over, just like the telepathic communication with the pink little dragon after making a contract with Livi.
He quickly understood that establishing a link with the Star Soul was a "Spiritual Forger" ability.
It was both a title and a profession, a power commonplace among the Deus People but superior to myriad things.
The so-called "Star Soul Greenhouse" was never the Master of Star Soul; its link with Star Souls was mainly a nurturing relationship.
The current link was established via the system, confirming for Li Ang that the Deus People also shared such a link with their Star Souls.
For them, whether Star Soul Greenhouse or Star Souls were tools; the one holding the reins or shackles had to be oneself, the "Master".
Anna considered Li Ang a Spiritual Forger due to the rules retained in her memory.
"Didn’t I say before that calling me the Divine Child’s beloved is too awkward, and it sounds odd to others too? Also, don’t call me Master, just call me Li Ang or Captain."
"Yes, Captain."
"Just Captain."
"Okay."
"Then let me see, your power..."
Li Ang reviewed the girl’s panel. After her power rose to Tier 7, all her abilities were equally enhanced, yet there was a completely new change; it was a skill called [Grace Grafting].
