Chapter 257 Heart of Eternal Nirvana.
From the day Mana descended in this world until today, more than two millennia have passed, but a healer capable of awakening the 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana' was never born.
Most healers dream of healing their loved ones or saving as many lives as possible.
Even SS-rank healers don't have the mentality to heal every wound possible.
There are infinite 'paths', but only a few are really recognized by the 'world' itself.
Riya tapped into that possibility when she realized her 'path'. She condensed a 'path' that was recognized by the world itself and gained the blessing of the world.
Moreover, due to her overwhelming talent and past experiences, in that final moment, Riya realized the real essence of healing.
She realized that healing is not all about regeneration and restoration; she tapped into the very 'laws' of recovery and forced the world to recognize her excellence.
'Heart of Eternal Nirvana' is a healer's equivalent skill to 'Sword intent' or 'Dao Rhythm'.
Just like 'Sword Intent' and 'Dao Rhythm', the 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana' condenses the world's 'laws' in the form of 'phenomena', thus enhancing the user's capabilities.
Each legendary skill has the power of a 'law' behind it.
'Sword intent' has the power to cut through anything and everything once you train it to perfection.
'Dao Rhythm' gives a perfect physique to the user; it eliminates all weaknesses and makes the user overwhelmingly strong.
Similarly, 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana' puts the user in a 'peaceful' and 'focused' state; moreover, it lets the user bypass any mana resistance, thus making it possible to heal others without facing mana rejection.
In her pursuit of trying to heal the withered flower, Riya formed the Eternal Heart, and with this heart, she can finally bypass the mana resistance and heal the flower.
Her pain and suffering paid off.
...
[Ding! All conditions met! You have seen through the essence of healing...]
[Ding! You have achieved the legendary rank passive Skill 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana'...]
[Ding! You have solidified your belief and realized your 'Path'!]
[Ding! Ascending to Rank A...]
Unaware of the chaos that she created outside, Riya was only focused on herself at that moment.
In the gentle protection of the world, she felt safe and relaxed, as if she had returned to her mother's embrace.
Condensed mana entered her body and elevated her rank to 'A' making her not only physically but mentally stronger.
Her skills ascended, and her aura condensed further.
No matter how many times the purple thunder poured on her, she remained unharmed under the protection of the world.
Eventually the thunder calmed down and the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the bright, starry sky.
The two gigantic hands slowly dissipated, and Riya opened her eyes as the mana tornado stopped.
The bright moonlight shined on her face, and her beautiful white hair swayed with the wind, adding another charm to her.
At that moment, Riya had already seen through the law of healing itself; now she has become an exceptional healer with no equals.
Once she grows up, her healing magic will be much stronger than any SS-ranked healer's magic recorded in history.
...
Seeing that Riya had finally completed her ascension, all the SS-rankers nodded their heads at Ashtel and left one by one.
"Master, I understand it now.... The essence of healing is selfless kindness and care; a healer must heal the injured without binding themselves to mortal desires."
Ryul then looked at the sky for a moment and said it in a solemn tone.
"Have you noticed it too, Ashtel? What just happened was very strange..."
Ashtel nodded his head at Ryul's words and replied in return:
"The heavenly punishment and heavenly protection both appeared for the same person... This is very wrong and weird..."
"It's as if the world is divided into two fronts: one wants to punish those with talents, and one wants to protect..."
Ashtel thought for a moment and then added,
"This shouldn't have been the case; the world is a single entity after all, and how are two contradictory things happening at the same time..."
Ryul nodded his head at Ashtel and stared at the sky with a solemn look on his face.
"This is a very bad omen... If the will of the heavens itself starts to show flaws like this, the future of this world will be very chaotic... We need to prepare the younger generation for this..."
Ashtel sighed and replied,
"The other SS-rankers likely also noticed this strange phenomenon; they retreated for the moment, but none of them will be at ease either. We need to arrange a temporary meeting tonight... Assemble them all..."
Ryul nodded his head and flew back towards the palace.
Ashtel also shook his head and left with Jin in tow.
Perhaps this event was the one that triggered a massive change in the world and awakened many hidden problems.
Nonetheless, Riya achieved great success and proved her worthiness; she demonstrated that she is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Link and the others.
On that day, she cast away her immature self and became a real healer.
The long-lost smile returned to her face as she finally found a way to deal with 'corruption'; now she isn't as afraid as before.
If the current version of her was at Oaklum, she could have easily purified the corruption.
In other words, now she can finally eat her candy again.
