Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

『Ding! Congratulation. You Strength has increased to 250 points. Your Agility has increased to 220. You Stamina has increased to 235 points.』

『Your Soul has been buffed. It has gained four extra skill slots. You can now learn four extra soul spells.』

Roy's eyes lit up in joy.

It was a known fact that level 3 spells could damage aura masters, and level 4 to 7 spells could overwhelm grandmasters, and now he could create level 3 to level 6 fire spells using the Fire Control skill.

"I have gained another weapon against aura masters, grandmasters, and Force Users."

He wasn't expecting this. It came as a pleasant surprise to him.

Roy smiled and said to Yulran, "Thanks for everything so far."

"Don't mention it. I would have done the same for any other descendant if they had caught my interest. But if you think I have done you a great favor and want to repay me, then take care of that lass." Yulran waved his hand.

The Formless Siren was the daughter of his close friend, a male Water Celestial.

Catching the sight of one was as rare as sighting a Female Crimson Dragon, a specie close to nonexistent.

That person had helped him a lot back in the day and even lost half of his soul while saving him, his power level plummeting to the level of aura masters.

To repay him, Yulran became the Godfather of his unborn daughter and promised to act personally as her Guardian until she hatches.

However, 850+ years ago, due to various reasons, he had to leave the Far West Major Realm.

Before leaving, he left a wisp of his soul behind for her.

After dealing with his matters, he tried to return but failed to as Death had sealed it, separating it from the other Major Realms and their small and fragmented worlds.

850+ years have passed since then.

The wisp of his soul was close to dying out.

The duty of protecting her was supposed to be his, but now he could only pass it down to his descendant.

Yulran didn't find it weird to have him share his burden.

Roy was her Fated. It was his duty to protect her!

"I won't let Voss or anything else get to her unless it is over my dead body."

The Formless Siren blushed. She felt touched by his words.

Roy was a very simple man with a very simple mindset.

He used to support the idea of castrating rapists back on Earth, and he has a clear idea about how to deal with people who harass his wife. Chop off the hands of the dogs that try to molest her, behead the sorry son of bitches that have vile intentions against her, and burn the soul itself of the bastards that want to do the unthinkable to her.

Yulran felt assured to leave her in his hands.

Actually, he knew that you create the possibility of being betrayed and backstabbed if you trust someone, be it a human or beast. He had experienced it firsthand many times. However, because of the rewards and warnings he had given to this descendant of his, he believed that Roy would keep his word and not mistreat her.

"This is where we part," Yulran said to Roy after a moment.

Roy and the Formless Siren saw Yulran's body turning into specks, disappearing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

He might not mean a lot to Roy, as it hasn't even been an hour since they met, but he meant a lot to the Formless Siren.

Because of Voss, her father couldn't come here to take care of her.

Yulran had been looking after her for centuries in his stead.

He was no different than a father to her.

Although this was just a part of him, he meant a lot to her.

Seeing him disappear, she felt pained, and her eyes welled up at this sight.

"Don't be sad. This parting is just temporary." Yulran said to her while Roy comforted her, wiping away her tears and giving her a shoulder to cry on.

Yulran turned to Roy. "I won't be able to see your coming of age, but I hope that you can snatch the shattered divinity of Night and use it to awaken. He is the strongest among the gods who fell in the war that was fought in ancient times. You already have the key to collecting the shards of Night's divinity. The chance to obtain them will be given to you when you enter the awakening platform. Grasp it, and you will be set for life."

Roy's eyes widened. He instinctively knew what the key was. It was his soul herding ability, Night's Mist!

Yulran's voice rang in his ears again.

"If you can, aim to suck Far West dry of as many shattered divinities of Gods as you can. We are Crimson Dragons. Having consideration for others isn't a part of our nature. Whatever we like is ours to take. And who doesn't like divinities? The more shattered divinities of gods a person has, the better!"

What Yulran said might confuse the ignorant, but not Roy.

It's a common belief that a person awakens when they are blessed by God, but that's a big fat lie used to fool the masses.

The truth is, Gods has forsaken the Far West Major Realm 850+ years ago.

No one knew why.

The reason was a part of Lost History.

However, anyone who has read the novel "Ancient Battlefield of the Gods" knows that this world was abandoned by Gods.

So how can people still experience a miracle like Awakening?

Well, it was all thanks to Far West. It was behind it all. It used the divinities of Gods to help humans awaken, giving them amazing powers.

Where did these divinities come from?

The war that was fought ten thousand years ago shattered the True Great World into a thousand pieces and caused the downfall of many Gods.

The True Great World had a soul and consciousness of its own. It could be said that it was the Father or the source of the Seven Major Realms and all the small and Fragmented worlds. The Seven Major Realms were basically the biggest parts of its shattered self. It planted seven soul seeds in these tracts of land. Each of these seeds grew up to gain a consciousness of its own. Far West was one such seed.

After gaining consciousness, It realized that the ancient war was fought exactly 12 thousand years ago.

It shattered the True Great World but failed to kill its soul. In its anger, it wiped out their consciousness and sealed the souls and divinities of the Gods that died in the ancient war in the depths of this major tract of land, reducing the chance of them possessing or creating another body to zero. But that resulted in it dying out completely.

Far West put their souls to good use, creating Soul Shards. That was the origin of Soul Shards. It was the combination and condensation of the wisps of a God's soul. Similarly, awakening stones were the divinities of a God, and in the awakening platform, the divinity of Night was hidden!

The key to obtaining it was already with Roy. It's just he was finding it out now. Before this, he was still unaware that the Night's Mist Ability was a part of Night's Soul!
