Chapter 308: Dragon, Phoenix, and Fox (Patreon)

Raven

Raven could look at all the available choices for his new race and bloodline, along with the techniques and boons which could be bought with Trial Points, but he couldn’t choose anything himself, having given up control over his reincarnation to the Heavenly Spark Soul King in exchange for the ability to share the Trial Points earned by Master Tedros and the Heavenly Spark Soul King’s sister.

But he did not regret giving up that control at all as the Heavenly Spark Soul King chose exactly what they’d agreed on.

Runic Balance Chaos Dragon Hatchling (G-Legendary)

The hatchling combining the power of a chaos dragon with the additional power of balance and runic dragons. Powerful in its own right and filled with nearly unlimited potential.

Racial Abilities: 4

No limits, but a higher chance for chaos abilities, abilities which raise the effectiveness of all stats, and abilities based on natural runes

Max stats:

Strength: 288

Agility: 288

Endurance: 288

Toughness: 288

Vitality: 288

Perception: 288

Magic: 288

Spirit: 288

Soul: 288

Aura: 288

Attunement: 288

Luck: 288

Stat Growth Per Level:

Not applicable for G rank

Advancement Criteria:

Live for 2 standard years. Comes with automatic grade increase.

Cost: 5,135,673,858,195,456 Trial Points; Heart Blood of a C rank Runic Balance Chaos Dragon

His new race, derived from his little brother’s, was incredibly, incredibly expensive, something he would not have been able to earn on his own. It required taking crystalized heart blood from his little brother, slightly delaying his brother’s cultivation, just for the tutorial to grant the option, and, even then, it was four times the cost of the most expensive race the tutorial would usually have available.

Primal Human (Fabled) 

The bloodline of an elite human who has traced the power of their ancestry back to before the beginning of their race

Effects:

Raise cultivation speed to double that of a Primal Human’s if your race would make it less

Cost: 20,639,121,408 Trial Points

The bloodline he’d chosen, however, was quite a few orders of magnitude less expensive, to the point of being almost negligible, even if it was also objectively costly.

Raven had wanted something which would serve him well even if most of the United Federation of Planets was wiped out, and the Primal Human bloodline made up for the biggest weakness of his race, cultivation speed, while also being relatively easy to raise in grade if the Heavenly Spark Soul King and his wife succeeded in their plans.

In Raven’s mind, while the bloodline wasn’t as special as some of the options the Heavenly Spark Soul King had recommended, it was just right for what he wanted.

As for boons and techniques, the Heavenly Spark Soul King chose all the techniques available, minus the three Raven had earned himself during the tutorial, so Raven’s new body wouldn’t be created with obvious flaws, and Raven took no boons so as to not cost Master Tedros and the Heavenly Spark Soul King’s sister any more points, not really wanting more soulstructures and unable to awaken another new uniqueness after the boon reward from the last challenge.

Immortalia

Immortalia did not regret the deal she’d made with Aalam, telling him where to find and how to enter her divine residence and allowing him to take two resources for himself from her vault in exchange for him taking out one for her as well, getting it to her through a reward for his space element clone.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to gain such an ideal race.

Sublime Soul Apocalypse Phoenix Hatchling (G-Legendary)

A avian hatchling of immense potential reborn from the fires of a universe’s fall.

Racial Abilities: 4

No limits, but a higher chance for destruction and rebirth related abilities

Complete dual classes possible

Max stats:

Strength: 144

Agility: 216

Endurance: 144

Toughness: 144

Vitality: 432

Perception: 360

Magic: 504

Spirit: 216

Soul: 432

Aura: 288

Attunement: 288

Luck: 288

Stat Growth Per Level:

Not applicable for G rank

Advancement Criteria:

Live for 3 standard years. Comes with automatic grade increase.

Cost: 15,407,021,574,586,368 Trial Points; 1 Spark of Apocalypse

An Apocalypse Phoenix was a much more powerful variety of phoenix than her original race, one ideal for the Laws she was planning to raise to the divine level, adding the Laws of Lightning and Wind to her Laws of Fire, Life, Death, and Time. And, as with all her race choices, she got to keep the properties her soul had gained during her ascension, maintaining her ability for complete dual classes and all the other fun effects of a sublime soul.

Meanwhile, her bloodline was exactly what she wanted as well, the same bloodline which had allowed Aalam to become so powerful even as a C rank.

Genetic Thief (Mythic)

Some steal legacies, you steal inheritance in its purest form

Effects:

Once per rank, you may steal the genetic power, from both race and bloodline, of a being which has died, but whose soul is yet to pass on, and use that power to enhance your next racial advancement

Cost: 61,628,086,298,345,472 Trial Points

With her remaining Trial Points she increased her number of mana wells from five to seven, bought all the cultivation techniques available, and spent the rest on solidifying her foundation.

When she was reborn, she would have far more potential than she’d had in the past.

Vanar

Vanar felt himself grow excited as he watched Lord Aalam make choices for him, following through on what they’d discussed just like Vanar’d known he would.

Spirit Guarding Fox Kit (G-Common)

A fox ghost born from the weapon of a powerful lord during the lord’s revival as a spirit to serve its lord once again

Racial Abilities: 3

Limitations and leanings dependent on the lord and the weapon the fox spirit was born from

Max stats:

Distribution to match that of the revived lord with the same total stats as all Common grade monsters

Stat Growth Per Level:

Not applicable for G rank

Advancement Criteria:

Live for 6 standard years. Comes with automatic grade increase.

Cost: 427,972,821,516,288 Trial Points; A lord spirit being reborn at the same time; A weapon of at least C rank used extensively by the lord before their death, sacrificed to the System by a family member

Vanar had already agreed to protect and serve Lord Aalam’s sister. It was the least he could do given all the man and his wife had done for him. And, yet again, he was gaining far more from the deal than the Alvaros’ were.

First, Lord Aalam had created an amazing C rank Empyrean grade growth weapon perfectly designed for use with the Laws Vanar would be going for after his rebirth and then Lady Li had manipulated the sword’s karma to make it look like Diana had used the weapon for thousands of years. Just the cost of the materials of the blade were in thousands of A rank credits, not to mention what the normal expense would be for having one of the best crafters in the universe spend almost an entire month working on just one artifact.

Even being reborn as a common grade fox, Vanar’s affinities for all his new Laws would be quite a bit higher than even those of most Epic grade races specializing in any of them.

Second, he’d have a high chance to awaken any racial abilities Diana did in the future. And, despite what he’d told the young woman, he knew exactly what race her brother had planned for her, so he knew just how powerful those racial abilities would be.

Finally, third, fox spirits like his new race gained a powerful racial ability which would automatically grow as he gained race grades and tails, the variant available to the race he would have in the future on the same level as the signature racial abilities of the top three types of dragons.

There was a reason his new race cost hundreds of trillions of Trial Points, only one order of magnitude less than the most expensive race normally available in the entire tutorial, even though it was only Common grade.

Then, for his bloodline, he solidified his future position in the United Federation of Planets.

Divine Herald (Mythic)

You were born to be your god’s herald, in body as well as soul

Effects:

Divine classes granted by your deity have all effects increased by a grade

Cost: 30,814,043,149,172,736 Trial Points; Messenger Essence attuned to the divinity you have been born to serve

One of Ms. Li’s classes was Junior Divinity, which, like its name implied, made her functionally a lesser god, able to use many of the general features cultivators and monsters gained after ascending. And one of these features was the ability to grant divine classes in exchange for service.

Vanar had already been planning on serving the United Federation of Planets, and Ms. Li was the head of the United Federation of Planets, so it had seemed like a good fit for him to become the head of her future divine force.

Not only did he respect the woman and all the amazing things she’d accomplished, but their Laws and combat styles matched up well, so a divine class from her would be an ideal fit.
