When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

In fact, the abilities unlocked upon advancing to Dominator status are not limited to these. Bai Fu, having mastered three pieces of Dominator-level advanced knowledge ahead of time, also pre-emptively gained some abilities only Dominators possess, such as Apostle's Path, becoming an Extraordinary Saint, and Hyperspace Transmission.

After closing the detailed Talent and Skill interfaces, Bai Fu opened the Life Evolution Interface.

A good race determines one's upper limit in combat power, so when making her choice, she was very cautious.

[Your Life Strength and fusion with Spiritual Energy have surpassed the Evolution Critical Point, and you have qualified for Life Ascension. Please select one direction for ascension from the following—]

[1. Void Manipulator]

[2. Son of the Fallen]

[3. Eternal Clan]

[4. Cosmic Ghost]

[5. Night Watcher]

[6. Holy Spirit Favored]

The six options unfolded before her eyes, and Bai Fu quickly glanced through them.

A [Void Manipulator] is an advanced race of [Prophet], a kind of energy entity with a more natural handling of Void Energy. [Son of the Fallen] is also a Void Life form, but its traits are more akin to a Berserker, capable of erupting with exponential power under the stimulation of Void Energy, albeit at the cost of intelligence.

The [Eternal Clan] is an anthropomorphic race that, stripped of Void Power, keeps evolving with the chance of becoming the [God of Stellar Beasts]. The [Cosmic Ghost] is a life form of a spiritual nature. The Living form of a [Night Watcher] is similar to that of a [Son of the Fallen], betwixt energy entity and physical being. [Holy Spirit Favored] is a special type of True Spirit life form.

"First, rule out Son of the Fallen and Eternal Clan. One's brainless, the other's ugly. Then eliminate Cosmic Ghost, I get no kick from Spirit bonuses. Holy Spirit Favored isn't bad, but choosing it means giving up those Void Skills."

Bai Fu shook her head. She still very much enjoyed the Instant Teleportation ability brought by the [Prophet's Mark].

Faced with a choice between [Void Manipulator] and [Night Watcher], she finally chose the latter. If she went with the former and became an energy body, it would be impossible to enjoy those pleasant tactile moments. Also, while the latter may have lesser bonuses in the Void, retaining a humanoid form with stronger adaptability in the realm of Spiritual Energy seemed like a better deal.

[An Evolution Key has been detected, do you wish to use it?]

"Yes!"

This was the moment Bai Fu had been waiting for.

The Evolution Key was a task reward received after finding the foothold of the Ten Saints Association. It allowed her to set a focused direction for her Racial Evolution, turning an uncontrollable process into a controllable one, a mighty advantage.

In terms of attributes, she prioritized Inspiration and Constitution.

In terms of Resistance, she prioritized Spirit Resistance.

In terms of Skills and Talents, she prioritized spatial movement.

With everything ready, Bai Fu gently tapped the Ascension button.

Boom!

It felt like a sledgehammer hit her in the chest, her whole body was uncomfortable, every part of her from limbs and organs to cells was trembling and restructuring.

At times, sharp pain burst forth, at times, it felt as pleasing as conducting experiments with Julia, and at other times...

This state lasted several minutes.

[You've completed a special ascension and entered into a new realm of life. The floating clouds can no longer obscure your view. Your race has changed to [Night Watcher (Bai Fu)]!]

[Race change complete. You've received the following attribute corrections—

Power +141, Agility +119, Constitution +513, Intelligence +136, Spirit +121, Inspiration +691]

[Racial Traits [Void Prophet], [Void Nest], [Void Walking] removed]

[Exclusive Skill [Prophet's Mark+] evolved into [Void Travel]]

[Skill [Void Perception] evolved into [High-dimensional Overlook]]

[You have gained new Racial Trait bonuses—

1. An additional point of Inspiration with each level-up;

2. Conversion of each point of Constitution to Life Value +50, conversion of each point of Inspiration to Spiritual Ability Value +50;

3. Your Spirit Resistance +70%;

4. You have gained the exclusive Talent [Turn into Night];

5. You have gained the exclusive Talent [Night Infection].]

"No wonder it's called Life Ascension, these attribute corrections are more than double what I got when I evolved into an Earth Prophet!"

Bai Fu exclaimed in awe.

After evolving into [Night Watcher], the three talents that came with being a Prophet had disappeared, but the subsequently activated talents and skills weren't any less potent.

[Void Travel] could move distances tens of astronomical units without the need for prior marking, much more than ten times the displacement of [Prophet's Mark+], with a limitation of only being able to teleport three times in quick succession, lest excessive Void corrosion could turn her into a Monster.

[High-dimensional Overlook], as a sensory skill, was more than ten times stronger than [Void Perception].

[Turn into Night] was similar to [Void Walking] in its displacement capabilities, but even harder to Capture and faster moving. Since Night is a rather abstract concept, it meant that when Bai Fu used this ability, she could separate into many to confuse her opponent.

[Night Infection] was a rather perverse Ability; there was a certain chance that targets with a lower Energy Level hit by Bai Fu's attack could be "brainwashed" and become a member of her Legion.

"Much better."

Bai Fu sighed with relief.

She opened her attribute panel—

[Life Value]:647591/647591

[Spiritual Ability Value]:944421/944421

[Qi]:23185/23185

[Attributes]: Power 1290, Agility 1432, Constitution 2741, Intelligence 1266, Spirit 1539, Inspiration 6317

After this Awakening, her Life Value had soared from 300,000 to over 600,000, her Spiritual Ability Value from 400,000 to over 900,000, and her base Constitution and Inspiration had both increased by more than 1000 points. Now, if she burst forth with full power, her Spiritual Energy could instantly skyrocket to over 10,000.

"It's no wonder they say reaching the Dominator Rank truly puts one above the stars. It might seem like there's only a one-level difference between a 150th level Catastrophe Level and a 151st level Dominator, but the difference in power..."
