Chapter 131: [Ability: As a Creator's Act]
Sterl surmised that this was because Felix\'s talent [Command] was likely inferior in quality compared to Milo\'s [Death Assassination].
Consequently, the legendary ability that resulted from its fusion was naturally weaker and more inclined towards support and legion battles.
For a lone wolf like Sterl, who preferred solo fights, it couldn\'t be fully utilized.
However, a legendary ability was still a legendary ability. Even if it was oriented towards group enhancement, Inspire was extremely useful for Sterl!
Excitement flashed in Sterl\'s eyes. Attribute enhancement, increased movement speed, faster skill casting speed, and life steal were all incredibly valuable boosts!
The first few enhancements would improve his combat ability. The gold content of attribute enhancement needed no explanation, while increased movement and skill speed were bonuses independent of agility and spirit attributes, enhancing Sterl\'s maneuverability and skill execution speed.
Life steal meant that when attacking enemies, a percentage of the life force drained from them would replenish Sterl, significantly boosting his sustained combat capability.
He had numerous skills capable of instantly wiping out groups of enemies. With Inspire activated, even in a severely injured state, he could fully recover with a single Celestial Stars or Divine Flame Drive!
For Sterl, the greatest significance of life steal in battle was that it provided an additional method of healing, allowing him to continually replenish his life force pool while also enjoying double the recovery effects from life steal, making it harder to be taken down in one hit!
After all, when facing powerful enemies, if their damage output within a given time exceeded the recovery speed of his life force pool, they could potentially kill Sterl.
But with life steal, enemies would have a much tougher time dealing more damage than the dual healing effects could recover!
What excited Sterl even more was that Spike had been instantly killed earlier. Because it wasn\'t a PvP kill, none of the items in his backpack dropped, including the [Flowing Beads] Legendary Crystal with the control removal effect. Sterl had been extremely frustrated about that.
Now, through Felix\'s Legendary Crystal, he had obtained Inspire, which also had a control removal effect!
This was a huge win!
Sterl was in high spirits.
However, he quickly realized that something even more profitable was coming.
[Ding! Infinite Evolution guarantee triggered. Your pet [Star Radiance Dragon] is extracting the ability from [Abomination of the World].]
[Note: Ability extraction is random, and quality is uncertain.]
Initially, seeing the note about the uncertain quality of the extracted ability, Sterl\'s heart sank. He feared he might end up with something useless.
But the final notification was—
[Your pet [Star Radiance Dragon] has acquired the ability [As a Creator\'s Act].]
[You have acquired the ability [As a Creator\'s Act] through primary star sharing.]
"Ah?!" Sterl was unsure about the strength or quality of this skill, but from the name alone, he realized he had definitely hit the jackpot!
Sterl quickly opened his skill panel. After searching for a while, he finally discovered that [Transcendence] had given it a separate page.
[As a Creator\'s Act]
[Type: Special]
[Description: This is a portion of creation authority from the main world of [Transcendence]. Each piece of this authority can only be transferred after the complete demise of its previous holder. If it cannot be transferred, this authority will turn into a hidden quest reward, randomly appearing in the main world of [Transcendence].
This authority comes from the Daoist of the Netherworld realm [Data Deleted].]
[Effect: You can create sub-worlds attached to the world of [Transcendence] and establish related rules. Creating a world requires you to first use spiritual power to construct the framework and prototype of the world.]
The content described on the panel wasn\'t very clear.
Sterl roughly understood that [As a Creator\'s Act] was extremely important in the entire world of [Transcendence], with a limited number available. Learning one meant there would be one less available. Newcomers would have to wait for the previous holder to completely perish before they could acquire it.
The Star Radiance Dragon not only hit the jackpot with its infinite evolution this time but also because the powerful figure who had once "merged with the Dao" of the Netherworld\'s world will had completely perished along with the demise of the boss.
As for the concept of "merging with the Dao," Sterl wasn\'t entirely sure of the specifics. It could roughly be understood as a powerful individual completely integrating themselves into a world.
Why that powerful figure did so, and why his name couldn\'t even be displayed in the [Transcendence] panel, was beyond Sterl\'s understanding.
He only knew that his luck was off the charts this time: "So, because the boss merged with the world will, they also merged with that strong figure\'s skill panel."
"But due to the world\'s power limit, the boss theoretically had many of that strong figure\'s skills, but couldn\'t use any of them."
"And in the end, when I used infinite evolution to extract skills, I ended up pulling out the best one??"
After figuring it out, Sterl felt extremely fortunate.
However, the content of [As a Creator\'s Act] on the panel was quite abstract. He knew that actually using it wouldn\'t be so easy.
First, constructing a world with spiritual power was something Sterl couldn\'t even begin to touch with his current attributes.
Even though he was at the 3S level, he would need to reach a demigod state to...
Wait, hasn\'t a world already formed within my spiritual domain?
Sterl suddenly realized this!
He decisively closed his eyes, sensing his spiritual world. Inside, besides the brilliant starry sky, there was a bright full moon. Additionally, on one of the planets, there was an illusory human population providing faith power.
This was much more realistic than any imagined virtual spiritual world!
Originally, Sterl couldn\'t utilize the faith power at all. It could only accumulate within his spiritual domain.
Now, with just a slight invocation, he activated [As a Creator\'s Act], allowing him to melt the faith power and gradually materialize the illusory world of his spiritual domain.
However, after expending all his faith power, he only managed to materialize a small forest on the planet inhabited by humans.
Then, Sterl sensed an enormous flow of information. He realized that the small forest had become a superposition of reality and spirit. Currently, it wasn\'t very useful. Sterl could only transfer external items into the forest and retrieve them at will, functioning as an extra backpack space.
But he wasn\'t at all upset about spending all the faith power he had accumulated until now.
Sterl faintly sensed that this piece of land was fundamentally different from a backpack. It was a place truly unique to him, not something added by the [Transcendence] system.
That forest was an extension of Sterl\'s will! He could faintly feel a weak force emanating from the soil, strengthening him.
However, this was not reflected on Sterl\'s panel at all.
"Anyway, this skill is definitely something good. I\'ll slowly convert my spiritual domain into reality." he thought.
Sterl closed the skill panel with great anticipation.
In reality, he didn\'t fully grasp the value of [As a Creator\'s Act].
For instance, the goddess of the Dark Moon Alliance, whom Sterl always considered his arch-nemesis, would likely be envious to the point of tears if she knew Sterl had such a skill.
Creating one\'s own world and turning it into a divine realm is essential for ascending to the level of great divine power!
It\'s worth noting that even though Gloria had been a deity for hundreds of years, she had barely reached the limit of minor divine power, which already showcased her considerable talent.
In other words, if Sterl\'s ability were exposed, he could very well face assassination attempts from dozens or even hundreds of gods!
They wouldn\'t be trying to steal the skill. They would simply want Sterl dead so that [As a Creator\'s Act] would return to the main world of [Transcendence] and become a quest reward.
Then, those gods could try their luck at obtaining it...
Of course, although Sterl didn\'t know the full value of his skill, he was always cautious. He naturally wouldn\'t reveal [As a Creator\'s Act] to anyone.
At this moment, Sterl was about to check the boss\'s loot.
But he quickly stopped and looked around.
As the last drop of the Netherworld Water was collected, the players saw the scarlet lines that had swallowed the entire world into the void expanding rapidly toward them!
However, the players were in good spirits: "Finally, it\'s about to end!"
"We can leave now; we survived!"
"Earned 10 Legend Points! Awesome!"
The remaining players couldn\'t hide the smiles on their faces.
Sterl, however, did not store the last drop of the Netherworld Water in his storage device. Instead, he used it to support an area with the world\'s source.
He wasn\'t a bloodthirsty maniac. As long as it didn\'t affect his own interests, he didn\'t mind giving the other players a lift back to the main world.
But at that moment, everyone\'s expressions changed!
The now extremely small Netherworld realm, reduced to the size of just a plaza, suddenly erupted with immense gravitational force!
Then, from the surrounding void, countless chaotic objects like soil, trees, minerals, and flesh began to rush in. These were materials from the Netherworld realm that had been swallowed but not yet fully digested by the void!
Eventually, all these materials were forcibly piled around the players...
Before they realized what was happening, the immense gravity twisted into a vortex, sucking everyone in.
"What\'s happening?"
"Again? The teleport scrolls are still useless!"
"I just want to go back to the main world, why is this happening to me?"
The players were panicking! Clearly, they were in trouble once again.
