Chapter 973: The Path of Unsealing



"Wait... really?" Listening to Sellifer's words, Valyr's eyes widened in surprise.

After all, in his mind, he expected the process of atavism to work no matter the circumstance.

Though, as he went over her words in his once more, the young man eventually realized something she'd mistaken about him.

Nevertheless, he still decided to continue the conversation in its current direction, feeling like the current topic was something he would learn a lot from.

"Why is that?" Keeping the misunderstanding Sellifer had about him in mind, Valyr went ahead and asked his question, prompting Sellifer to go on a lengthy explanation in response.

"What do you know about the path of Unsealing?"

"Are we talking about the path of Unsealing when we evolve?" asked Valyr for clarification, to which Sellifer responded with affirmation.

"Uh..." Getting confirmation, the young man rummaged through his treasure trove of

memories, eventually coming up with an answer that condensed everything he knew about it. "I don't really know a lot about it."

"But, from what I know, the path of Unsealing removes the racial shackles in one's species, allowing one to ascend to a higher version of one's original species later on."

"That's more or less correct," said Sellifer in response, her tone giving Valyr the hint that she'd continue her explanation from there. "A common example for the path of Unsealing would be the High Humans."

"Remove the first three shackles of the human race and you'd be eligible in the system's eyes to become a High Human."

"If you go further and remove six shackles, you could go one step further and become a True Human," she continued.

"And if you have great persistence and had the system's help in unsealing all nine shackles of the human race, you'd be able to become a Primordial Human."

Listening to her words, Valyr faintly nodded in agreement as her words matched up with what he knew.

Though, as Sellifer continued her explanation with her next statement, the young man was left at a loss for words.

"As long as you follow the steps I've given you back then and survive the trial the universe throws at you, then there's a high chance for you to succeed in undergoing atavism," she told

him.

"However, if you want to make sure that you're more or less guaranteed to undergo atavism, it would be preferable for you to go through it only once you feel like you're close to breaching through the next tier of species."

"Thankfully, there are many ways to enhance one's species up to that point, such as pills, elixirs, fruits, and other natural treasures."

"Of course, you could also rely on techniques," said Sellifer, hinting to Valyr the method he'd gotten from Vaughn. "But they generally take more time to complete if you're in a race

against time."

"Anyways, is that all you wanted to ask me?"

Hearing that question, Valyr replied back that it was indeed the only question he had to ask her, prompting them to end their conversation there.

With Sellifer telling him to be wary of the Serpent Maiden's motives after that, Valyr soon felt the foreign strand of Azure Energy attached to the rune disappear a few seconds later.

With that, he dispelled the rune he'd created, returning his attention not long after to the now cold plate of food he'd left half-eaten sometime ago.

Finishing off the remainder of his meal in a matter of minutes, the young man made his way to the bathroom to freshen himself up, changing into a set of clothes as he went over the choices he had in mind.

"I could proceed with the 3rd stage of the Records, undergo atavism... or head to the Blacksmith Guild to complete another quota."

Briefly taking a look out the window to see that the day was still young, it did not take long for

the young man to make his decision, heading out of the inn after making sure he brought

everything he needed with him.

"Time to make a trip to the Blacksmith Guild."

"Again."
