For Sterl, becoming a legend was akin to an ant.
But that didn't stop him from feeling excited about his own advancement.
Moreover, once he reached the legendary status, the legendary abilities granted by the Origin of Chaos, along with the ones provided by his profession, as well as a plethora of various skills and attribute enhancements, were about to be unlocked!
His arcane skill could finally be maxed out, resulting in enhanced attribute effects.
Just these factors alone could boost Sterl's power by about 30%.
When it came to the increase in attributes, the effectiveness could rise by 60-70%!
How could he not be thrilled??
Advancing to legend was the moment when his arcane skill would reach perfection, and the culmination of his arcane skill would also mark the time when his two innate talents would upgrade to Radiant!
Sterl's combat power was set to undergo a transformation!
How could he not feel joyous?
By the way, Infinite Space Insight was also considered a combat talent, but his arcane skill could not awaken it, and after his next cheat evolution, he wouldn't be able to allocate points to it either.
This ability was extremely powerful, but its enhancement was also highly challenging.
Just as Sterl was basking in his excitement, a new prompt appeared.
[Player Sterl officially begins the advancement to legend. Task requirements are being generated...]
[You need to complete the following tasks to break through.]
[1. Based on your current talents, you need to find an arcane skill that accommodates three talents.]
[Completed!]
Sterl realized that the legendary ceremony was indeed different.
Once he fulfilled a condition, a crisp sound rang out.
A golden strike crossed through the completed item, followed by a checkmark symbol...
Then, this completed item formally dissipated, accompanied by a smooth animation.
The next task requirement popped up in front of him.
"Why does it feel like the prompts that pop up after becoming a legend are taken much more seriously?"
Sterl grumbled.
With high emotional intelligence, the prompts post-legend seemed to carry more weight.
With low emotional intelligence, before becoming a legend, the prompts from Transcendence were just trivial...
The second task requirement refreshed—
[Your current level has reached 150.]
[Completed!]
Next, this item was also crossed out with a golden line.
[You need to accumulate 500 legend points.]
[Completed!]
Sterl paused slightly, 500 legend points?
This was the first time he had seen such an outrageous requirement for advancement.
Normally, to become a legend, one would only need a few legend points for enhancing their golden skills...
"500? That's quite a bold request."
"That's enough for dozens of legends to advance."
Sterl quipped, but he wasn't worried; the greater the challenge, the higher the rewards...
The legendary advancement ceremony was different from the second and third class advancements, which were about uncovering the player's own power.
Legend was about merging with the heavens and the earth.
However, this "highest yield" was merely a baseline; different legendary players would often achieve varying yields when completing similar events to craft their legendary stories.
The benefits of an event are determined by the story's popularity, as well as the difficulty of the players' actions and the resulting impact within the event.
Therefore, some players choose to set up another legendary story before starting the legendary ceremony, opting to forego the highest-yield events suggested during the ceremony...
Sterl was already well-versed in the intricacies of legendary advancement.
However, he had yet to select a legendary event. Find your next read at mvl
To his surprise, he noticed—wait a minute, there was an additional option to invest items to improve the quality of the ceremony?
Upon closer inspection, he found an entry he had never seen before, glowing faintly with a golden light and emanating a strange aura.
He sensed it lightly and realized that this was a hidden advancement section!
Instantly, Sterl's heart raced.
Everyone advancing to legend could improve the quality of their ceremony by investing items, but the Transcendence game system had defaulted this option to hidden.
Who would whimsically think to place precious items in a specific formation around themselves during the advancement ceremony without knowing about this option?
The very existence of this formation couldn't have been imagined out of thin air.
Sterl was pleasantly surprised at that moment.
Not only did he have a new requirement for his advancement, which was likely to yield better results, but he also had a new power boost.
Moreover, the effect of the game pod core's upgrades was once again manifesting.
While the Transcendence main account couldn't unlock hidden auxiliary functions like the Swallowing Heaven Mephistopheles, the Transcendence system also unlocked certain restrictions due to the upgrades.
However, these unlocked contents needed to be gradually discovered by the player.
"That's great!"
Sterl smiled.
He didn't rush to check the prompts for legendary stories but instead looked at which items could enhance the quality of the ceremony.
[Jade Ganoderma]
[Description: A plant that grows in a special cave; legend has it that consuming it can revive recently deceased beings.]
[Effect: Can be used to make various potions and elixirs, with additional life recovery effects upon completion.]
[Flawless Eye]
[Description: ...]
[Holy Lotus Altar]
...
Sterl was presented with a dazzling array of options that refreshed wildly before him.
He glanced over the items and noticed that while their quality ranged from legendary to demigod levels, none reached the divine level.
[Based on the host's talents, the maximum number of quality-enhancing items that can be invested in the ceremony is 5. Each item corresponds to one of your talents, adding an extra effect attribute to the talent.]
[Hint: The effect attributes may not necessarily relate to the talents themselves.]
"Are the items supposed to correspond to the 5 talents?"
Sterl nodded to himself, noting that he had 4 combat class talents and one Sub-Profession talent, which made it perfect!
At this moment, he felt a surge of excitement.
Sterl had not only unlocked the hidden function for investing items to increase the quality of the legendary advancement ceremony, but he was also set to reap massive benefits from his five talents!
Adding 5 effect attributes at once, although their strength might not be very high since they were merely secondary attributes, it was still impressive that he could invest items at the demigod level, indicating that at least these 5 abilities were close to Platinum Skill level!
"The best-case scenario is that these 5 effects can individually be enhanced; the second-best scenario is that they can be enhanced collectively when I allocate points to my talents."
"But surely, there will be an increase!"
"In any case, I've already hit the jackpot!"
Sterl was extremely delighted.
