Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats

Both Shadow Ryu and the masked man belonged to the same organization, the Eternal Shadow Guild.

Whenever a member of this organization gets killed, the nearest guild member receives a [Soul Whisper], guiding them to the corpse or the spot where the guild member was slain.

If a guild member of the Eternal Shadow Guild avenges the death of a fallen comrade, they are rewarded with multiple perks by the guild.

These perks include enhanced cultivation resources, rare artifacts, or unique techniques reserved for those who uphold the guild's code of vengeance.

Because of such perks, nearly every member of the Eternal Shadow Guild carries a [Killer Tracking Talisman], despite its exorbitant cost, and the masked man was no exception.

'Looks like today is really my lucky day.'

Today, not only did he finally receive his first [Soul Whisper] since joining the organization, but he also managed to save his [Killer Tracking Talisman], thanks to his fallen comrade's Bloodsniffer Serpent.

Hence, the masked man believed that today was his luckiest day.

With such thoughts in mind, he quickly followed behind the Bloodsniffer Serpent.

.....

In the Hidden Cave

'Now, it is time to check on my new parents.'

Ethan woke up an hour before sunrise and prepared to start his journey.

Thinking about meeting his parents, he felt excitement welling up inside him.

One of his greatest regrets in his past life was not taking care of his parents.

Since he had already accepted his new life and wanted to live it to the fullest, Ethan had also accepted this body's parents as his own.

He saw them as his true parents.

Given that the cultivation world was filled with dangers, Ethan had originally planned to wait until his [Godly Revival Ability] came off cooldown; however, his plans changed slightly due to his unexpected reunion with the assassin.

Now that he had eliminated the assassin and his [Godly Revival Ability] had been refreshed, Ethan decided it was time to start his journey back to his village.

'Swiish'

Soon, he left the Hidden Cave and rushed in the direction of Silvermoon Village, his home.

[Shadow Steps]

'Swoosh'

'It's quite convenient to have a mastery of the Small Success Stage in [Shadow Steps].'

Ethan was using [Shadow Steps], making his speed incredibly fast—so much so that even regular Qi Completion Realm Cultivators would struggle to catch him.

'Swoosh'

However, a silhouette trailed silently behind him, moving effortlessly at a speed that surpassed Ethan's [Shadow Steps].

"Is he the one who killed your master?"

While keeping a safe distance and ensuring Ethan remained completely unaware, the masked man asked the Bloodsniffer Serpent in a low voice.

'Hiss~'

The Bloodsniffer Serpent hissed in agitation, confirming that Ethan was indeed its master's killer.

"Good."

The masked man smiled excitedly.

'How many good things can happen to me in a single day? The killer only has Level 6 Qi Refining Cultivation, so I can take care of him with ease.'

'Although the target looks easy, I should still be careful.'

He didn't forget that the same cultivator in front of him had managed to kill a Qi Completion Realm Cultivator.

Thus, the masked man decided to proceed cautiously and swiftly kill the target before he could even react.

'Let's go.'

Once the masked man settled on his plan, he wasted no time, pushing his speed to its limits.

'Swiish'

The lingering darkness worked in his favor, allowing him to slip past Ethan unnoticed as he took cover behind a large boulder, waiting patiently for his target.

'Swiish'

On the other hand, Ethan had heightened his senses to the fullest, yet he remained oblivious to the masked man's actions.

'Swiish'

'Die!'

Just as Ethan was passing by the boulder, he noticed a silhouette lunging at him.

'Puchi'

However, he was slower than the incoming attack and failed to dodge the dagger that pierced through his heart.

The last thing Ethan remembered was the heart-piercing pain—then, suddenly, he found himself in soul form, receiving a series of system notifications.

'Ding!

[Godly Revival Ability] has been triggered. The host will be revived in one hour.

'Ding!

The host has received 84 Life Points.

'Ding!

Generating the [Interface of Killer's Stats] for the host to purchase items from. Please wait...

'Who killed me this time?!'

Ethan gritted his teeth and immediately spent one Life Point to activate [Soul Sight].

'Another assassin?!'

Ethan frowned when he saw the masked man in black robes.

"As long as I submit his head, I can claim the rewards."

The masked man spoke in a low voice, but Ethan heard it loud and clear.

'Don't tell me…'

Before Ethan could finish his thought, he saw the masked man chop off his head, making him shiver unconsciously.

'Damn it… what kind of sick b*stards are after me?!'

First, it was Shadow Ryu, and now, another assassin was doing the same to his body.

Ethan cursed inwardly at the absurdity of it all.

'System, show me the details of my killer!'

Since he could obtain information on his killer, Ethan wanted to know his exact strength.

'Ding!

Killer's Name: Shadow Lee.

Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm (Completion Stage).

Lifespan: 30 / 150.

'He has the same cultivation as Shadow Ryu. Once I complete my purchase, I think I can kill him.'

Ethan silently swore to take revenge on this new assassin, Shadow Lee.

'Damn it… he's even taking the Storage Ring?!'

Not only had Shadow Lee taken his life—severing his head with terrifying precision—but he also seized the Storage Ring containing all of Ethan's wealth.

Watching this ignited Ethan's fury, fueling an overwhelming desire to take revenge.

'It all depends on my next purchase…'

Suppressing his rage, Ethan waited for the [Interface of Killer's Stats], which appeared moments later.

'T-this…!'

Looking at the system interface in front of him, Ethan was suddenly thrilled.

'Ding!

[Interface of Killer's Stats]
