The family couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing Su Duoduo's usual mishaps.
The dinner that followed ended in a warm atmosphere, with Father Su passing out from overindulgence.
Even though his son's awakening path leaned toward the support element and didn't seem promising, the neighbors lamented.
Father Su firmly believed his son could make a name for himself.
After all, he was a Transcendent.
No matter how poor he might perform.
How many Transcendents are born in the Ninth District in a year?
The slightly tipsy Su Qi helped clean up the dishes and, looking at the small living room, decided that the family needed a better environment sooner rather than later.
But not just yet.
Although he still had All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, selling them would immediately improve their current living situation.
However, Su Qi had no intention of converting them into money.
In fact, almost no one could bring themselves to part with the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal.
Because.
Without matching strength, any prosperity is nothing more than an illusion, a castle in the air.
Of course, successfully awakened Transcendents aren't confined to obtaining various powers and knowledge solely through the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal and the Mysterious Path.
They might also experience an epiphany during regular cultivation or advancement, activating the Mysterious Path.
The chance, however, is so minuscule, it's negligible.
Except for those peerless geniuses, most Transcendents can only quickly increase their strength through the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal.
Using the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal for awakening carries a certain risk of failure, and using it to gain power in the Mysterious Path also has a significant chance of failure.
Yet Su Qi was not too worried.
After all, he had previously used eight All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals successfully, proving his strong spirituality.
He hoped these two All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals would bring him enough improvement.
If not, plans to venture into the Wilderness to hunt Fierce Beasts might be postponed, causing him to lag far behind his peers.
With such thoughts in mind, Su Qi quickly washed up, changed into fresh clothes, and headed back to his room.
He sat cross-legged.
Took out one of the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals and delved in with his Divine Sense.
As the mysterious aura spread, Su Qi once again stepped onto the Mysterious Path.
This time.
The Mysterious Path appeared clearer, and even those powerful figures were no longer obscured.
Then.
Su Qi resolutely threw his Divine Sense into that world.
Boom——
A tremor shook the heavens and earth.
Somewhere within, it felt as if a window within his body opened and numerous divine lights shot through.
Then, his mind filled with new knowledge.
"Is it still the skills of an Apocalypse?"
Su Qi glanced at the panel.
[Name: Su Qi]
[Path: Apocalypse]
[Abilities: Slow Healing LV1 (1/100), Holy Light Guardian LV1 (0/100)]
[Realm: Awakening Level One]
Holy Light Guardian is a defensive ability that releases a protective shield to reduce damage.
But looking at this ability level, it's probably not much different than having nothing at all.
Undeterred, Su Qi decisively activated the Mysterious Path for the second time.
As long as an offensive ability could be obtained, or these two abilities enhanced, or even advancing his realm directly, it would be enough.
It was not a fantasy.
There was even a Saint Master who, at the Awakening Level, used an All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal to leap over Control Level and step into Overlord Level!
Apart from such Chosen Ones, many others have used the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal to enhance their strengths by several minor stages.
One could say, besides other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal is the most convenient way to boost strength.
All Heavens Reflecting, anything is possible.
"The last one…"
Su Qi didn't hesitate, once again using the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal to activate the Mysterious Path.
Buzz——
In the Mysterious Path, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst from the brow of the enormous Apocalypse phantom.
It shot straight onto Su Qi's Divine Sense.
In an instant, he felt a refreshing clarity, the golden light rapidly merged into his Divine Sense.
He suddenly sensed an unprecedented tranquility.
No more hesitation, no more anxiety, only peace and joy remained.
He even felt an illusion, as if in the next moment, he would ascend to immortality.
"God's Favored One (Divine Level)!?"
Su Qi's expression shifted slightly as he noticed that the ability marked on his panel had no proficiency but was instead labeled 'Divine Level'.
"Could it be…"
"I attained a maxed-out ability this time!"
Thinking of this, Su Qi couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
Could this be the reversal of fortune!?
Thus.
He eagerly searched through his memories for knowledge about this ability.
Shortly.
Su Qi gained a deep understanding of this ability.
The so-called God's Favored One.
Belongs to the state-type ability.
It allows one to briefly gain true god-level insight and understanding, minimizing the energy consumption of released abilities, maximizing their effect at the current stage.
In other words.
Once he enters the state of God's Favored One, aside from his power, every aspect elevates directly to True God Level.
Equivalent to a constrained human True God
This was absolutely terrifying.
Any offensive ability, realm advancement, paled compared to this ability by far more than a mile.
At this moment.
Su Qi could no longer suppress his inner excitement, jumped up immediately, eager to test this ability.
"God's Favored One!"
As he activated this ability, his eyes turned bright and empty as if without focus, devoid of any sadness or joy.
And around his body, there seemed to be a faint layer of golden light.
In that instant.
His breathing changed, the Simplified Divine-Demon Breathing Technique that had always been operating, forcibly redirected its frequency and rhythm.
This breathing frequency and rhythm seemed even more mysterious and profound than the rumored Peak Breathing Technique.
Meanwhile, Su Qi's mind became unprecedentedly clear, his thoughts extremely active.
At the rise of one thought, mountains and rivers; at the fall, seas and lands.
He suddenly felt a wonderful sensation, that the world before him had changed.
He seemed to see various secret powers fleeting in the void, witnessing the intertwining laws behind these secret powers.
Like a blind person, suddenly seeing all beings and things of heaven and earth one day.
Indescribable, unnamable!
Su Qi carefully contemplated every detail at this moment.
With every breath, every pore of his body opened wide, like deep black holes.
The surrounding Light Attribute secret powers frenziedly converged upon him.
Oh, no.
Even other secret powers transformed into the Light Attribute.
Su Qi felt the vast secret powers rushing into his body like they were free of charge.
Causing his power and realm to enhance rapidly.
"Awakening Second Level…"
"Awakening Third Level…"
"Awakening Fourth Level…"
"Awakening Fifth Level…"
The realm on the Heavenly Dao Panel rose crazily.
Bear in mind, Transcendents usually enhance themselves through breathing techniques, absorbing various energies in the air, consuming different Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, or relying on the same attribute secret powers from Fierce Beast Crystal Cores to progress.
Except for extracting energy through the path.
There had never been a time where one's realm improved dramatically as if eating or drinking within a matter of breaths.
Su Qi's eyes glowed brilliantly, a surge of heroic spirit rising: "Guarding the glory of the Transmigrators, it's our bounden duty!"
