Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

To be successful during the , the creature needed to transform their into the next tier of energy. What started as and became a now needed to ignite with power.

Liu Shu, guided by her subconsciousness and titles, was able to understand what she needed to do quickly. "The are spheres of passive energy. Alone, they act as storage within my soul and give me the strength to manipulate the world around me through the Ternary Essences."

, , and all specialized in one aspect of life. "However... Now that I will evolve into a new species, I must acclimatize those essences to support my new attribute."

From the depths of her soul, Liu Shu manifested the new energy. A gleam of ethereal silver-white energy sparkled in the center of her existence. This essence, which was hidden by the title due to its incredibly powerful functions, was now within her sight and power to manipulate.

"Come forth, essence."

The spark of ethereal white light bloomed and enveloped her existence, and the second she did so, Liu Shu’s gaze seemed to expand beyond the world.

"This..."

Liu Shu looked at what appeared in front of her, and she couldn’t help but exclaim at the view. "Isn’t this Ceperet?"

As she looked at it and the surroundings, another very important thing was noticed.

"...Why is it paused?"

The world before Liu Shu was not spinning like usual. There was not a single trace of movement. Confused about this phenomenon, her mind zoomed into the planet’s surface. Right then, she understood why the planet looked motionless.

"Time has stopped."

When she noticed, a message appeared in her eyes.

[Congratulations! You’ve received ]

Surprised, Liu Shu checked the effects and hummed. "... Isn’t this a little too strong?"

A wry smile appeared on her lips, but quickly, Liu Shu sighed and moved on. Of course, even if she wanted to move on, the System wouldn’t. When Liu Shu’s body was enveloped by the essence, another two notifications popped in front of her.

[Congratulations! You’ve received .]

[Congratulations! You’ve received ]

Once again, Liu Shu checked and felt her worldview collapsing. Of course, the chain reaction from awakening the eternal energy was not done yet.

[You are the first being who has awakened . will be given to you.]

"...Right. What’s next?"

[ resonates with your and merges. You’ve earned .]

Liu Shu knew what was coming next, and she sighed to herself.

[ attribute awakens .]

[Upon touching on the , you’ve gained basic understanding of . You gain , , .]

"Aha. Now it’s finished." Liu Shu chuckled and slowly checked each and every one of the new skills. She took a few minutes to read and reread them. "Phiuu..."

Liu Shu sighed for a moment, and then started crying. "Why are they so strong? Aren’t I now semi-unkillable!?"

To be fair, with these skills at hand, Liu Shu felt that anyone at the same level wouldn’t even become an inconvenience. She was at the point that she could sweep tens of worlds and remain unscathed.

Beyond bewilderment, Liu Shu’s heart was pumping with excitement. Even as time had stopped, she could feel her body trembling, not knowing what to do with the overwhelming emotions washing over her.

"...If I tell Flor and the others, I might shorten their lifespan for real this time. Should I keep them hidden and reveal them slowly?" She felt that it was a great idea. "Right, I should do that. You know, to mimic something similar to exposure therapy."

After calming down, Liu Shu returned to the creation process. "Alright, now that I have assimilated the new attribute, I can proceed to create the next tier beyond ."

With her thoughts, Liu Shu moved the nearly 30,000 under her power and manipulated them. The cores began spinning around a core, and then, Liu Shu forcefully absorbed them towards the center. "I must approach them slowly, avoiding collisions between them."

The three hurricanes of , each representing one of the basic essences, all began to shrink under Liu Shu’s control.

"More... Closer..."

Her processing ability, multiplied by her titles, and her energy efficiency all took part in guiding her actions with marginal errors. These errors, quickly corrected once Liu Shu noticed the wrong trajectory, never really affected her. Therefore, the 100% was well within her sight.

"Faster. Faster. Faster."

Liu Shu’s mind’s eye opened wider, taking everything in as her energy spiraled inward with ridiculous strength. If anyone would look at this, a fear of blowing up her own ternary essences in a violent collision would wash over them.

Yet, Liu Shu’s confidence was unmatched. She was not even relying on her title, as the process until now was all done by her own strength.

Looking from behind, Wisdom was faintly surprised. ’At this rate, it wouldn’t have mattered whether she had the
