NOVEL NEXT Chapter406-Upper-Tier Race
[Human race tier has been upgraded to Upper-Tier Race!]
Almost instantly, every human felt noticeable changes in their bodies.
At this moment, they discovered an additional buff had appeared on their status.
[Protection of Upper-Tier Race: Reduces 50% of damage taken from races below its tier, increases 50% of damage dealt to lower-tier races.]
[Hostile Lock-On: Able to lock onto hostile creatures within a certain range.]
[Abundant Resources: Human race gains 100 times the rewards when challenging labyrinths or hunting monsters.]
[Plane Limitation: Generates a protective barrier, allowing only those with permission to enter this plane.]
…
Upon seeing this series of boosts, all the humans couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They had never expected that upon becoming an Upper-Tier Race, they would receive such a series of enhancements!
The feeling of this improvement was absolutely wonderful. In just a few days, the human race had undergone a complete transformation!
…
The communication network exploded at that very moment.
"What is going on? Why has our human race ascended again?"
"Are you kidding me? Our human race has actually become an Upper-Tier Race now!?"
"Damn it, I never imagined that the once-high and mighty Angel of Gold and Silver race is probably just an Upper-Tier Race too!"
"Heh, we thought the Angel of Gold and Silver race was so impressive, but now it seems they're nothing special!"
…
After finishing his tasks, Daniel's figure returned once again to Winterhold Castle in the northern frontier of the human race.
However, he didn't stay at the castle; he headed straight for the original location of the Abyss.
But by now, the Abyss had long since vanished.
After delving deep underground, Daniel finally found a Sacrificial Ritual Circle.
Under his Eye of Insight, the entire Sacrificial Ritual Circle became fully transparent.
However, what surprised Daniel was that the surface of this Sacrificial Ritual Circle was covered in large areas of text infused with spiritual contamination.
If a normal awakener were to glance at it, they would immediately go insane.
Fortunately, Daniel now possessed incredibly strong mind power and a vast array of God Rank Skills for protection, allowing him to act recklessly in such a place.
From Daniel's estimation, this kind of spiritual contamination was potent enough to affect those at the Fake God rank.
Of course, a true Fake God rank being wouldn't be affected.
For a demigod rank, however, it might be overwhelming.
Daniel gave a casual glance; though he didn't understand the symbols' exact meanings, he could still grasp their implied significance.
Upon further analysis, these symbols might have been written by some god, and the content was quite intriguing.
"The beginning is the end."
…
[Chaotic Sacrificial Ritual Circle]
[Activation Conditions: Fake God rank bones, sufficient divine power.]
[After the sacrifice, a path to the Backworld will be opened.]
…
Backworld?
Daniel furrowed his brows, a flicker of caution appearing in his eyes.
Because he could sense an overwhelming amount of divine blood within the Sacrificial Ritual Circle!
It could be from a Demigod Rank or even a God Rank entity.
Nonetheless, these remnants of blood still contained terrifying power!
It was hard to imagine how intense the battle must have been when facing this Sacrificial Ritual Circle!
Becoming a god clearly wasn't an easy task.
To succeed, countless lives must be sacrificed along the way—tens of thousands, if not millions!
Even the deaths of hundreds of millions or even billions of people probably wouldn't be a big deal to those lofty gods. They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!
It seemed the road to godhood was fraught with bloody struggles.
And beyond becoming a god, most beings were nothing more than ants.
Daniel couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow in his heart, though it was only a passing thought. His resolve remained unshaken!
For Daniel now, survival depended on constantly progressing.
He was the Human Emperor, and he had a responsibility to his people.
Though he had yet to become a god, everyone, including Daniel himself, was still just a stepping stone!
After contemplating for a moment, Daniel took out an item left behind by Fleshheart from his storage space.
It seemed to be a bone, emitting a jade-like glow on its surface.
This glow carried a mysterious energy fluctuation.
Daniel vaguely suspected that once enough bones had appeared within Fleshheart's body, it would truly ascend to Demigod Rank!
Unfortunately for it, it had encountered him.
For most awakeners, achieving Demigod Rank wasn't particularly difficult.
They could receive inheritances or gain divine positions through various means. Even ancient trials could provide opportunities to ascend.
But to advance further, one would have to engage in bloody battles!
By seizing others' divine positions and devouring their power, one could gradually accumulate strength.
Once enough divine power had been absorbed, one would naturally progress to the next stage.
For most awakeners, God Rank was an almost unreachable level.
However, for top-tier awakeners, Demigod Rank was simply not enough to satisfy their desires.
So, to further improve their strength, they needed to absorb more divine positions and gather more divine power!
Even Fleshheart, who had been personally slain by Daniel, had unknowingly eradicated countless enemy factions on his journey.
But in the end, it met Daniel, and all its efforts were in vain.
After thinking for a moment, Daniel chose to sacrifice this bone fragment.
The Fake God rank bones had already been gathered, so the next step was to inject divine power into them.
Daniel didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately used his own divine power to infuse it into the center of the ritual array.
In the blink of an eye, the entire array emitted a faint white light.
The reason Daniel did this was simple.
He wanted to see exactly what the Backworld was!
Furthermore, because he possessed the Time Stream skill, Daniel felt somewhat secure. If things went south, he could always use time manipulation to escape.
After the sacrifice, a special spatial door began to gradually appear before Daniel.
Upon gently pushing open the portal, Daniel was taken aback by the sight before him!
Because this place seemed more like a gigantic mechanical construct than anything else!
