Chapter 182: Chapter182-Gift of the Void

The Void Tower was an immense structure. The moment the awakeners stood before it, they couldn’t help but feel insignificant, as if dwarfed by its sheer scale and presence.

But once they entered, a strange feeling of familiarity settled in.

"Wait a minute... why does this layout look exactly like the Star Upgrade Hall?"

"This Void Tower... what is this place?"

"Do you think... maybe it functions similarly to the Star Upgrade Hall?"

"I say we be cautious. What if there’s a trap?"

"Trap? Oh come on—don’t be ridiculous! This is the northern human frontier—Lord Daniel’s territory. Do you really think he’d plant a trap here?"

"Exactly! There’s no way Lord Daniel would set a trap for us. You’re just paranoid."

"Even if, by some miracle, Daniel did set a trap here... I’d still walk into it willingly!"

...

Although a few awakeners remained wary, the majority eagerly approached the glowing cells set into the Void Tower’s inner chamber.

Inside each cell was a radiant talent crystal.

Before long, one awakener finally discovered the true purpose of the Void Tower:

[Do you wish to accept the Gift of the Void?]

[Upon acceptance, you will face a series of challenge quests.]

[Quest Reward: Talent Upgrade]

[Your Current Talent: Petrified Warrior – Tier B]

[After accepting the Void’s Gift: Petrified Berserker – Tier A]

...!?

Upon seeing this message, the awakener’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What the hell?!

His talent could evolve?

He had never even heard of such a thing before.

What was there to hesitate about?

Everyone knew an awakener’s talent determined their ultimate ceiling. If it could be upgraded, that meant his potential—and future power—would skyrocket.

With no more hesitation, the awakener immediately accepted the challenge.

As more people began to explore the tower, word spread quickly, and excitement erupted.

"My talent’s getting upgraded to Tier C! This is unbelievable!"

"Mine’s going to Tier S! I never even dared dream of this!"

"Damn, man—you’re going to become top-tier in one leap!"

...

Within minutes, the Void Tower’s true effect had electrified the entire crowd of awakeners.

"No wonder they call him Lord Daniel. He’s a legend!"

"Lord Daniel, I can never repay this kindness. Please, allow me to kneel before you!"

"Wait, hold up! You’re a vampire—how did you become a follower of the Infinite Divine Temple? Who let you in?!"

...

Inside the Star Upgrade Hall—

Daniel sat in silence, waiting for his quest interface to refresh.

Now that his talent had reached increasingly rarified levels, new quests took longer to generate.

Thankfully, Daniel had dozens of clones out working simultaneously, so waiting was hardly a waste of time.

It took nearly an hour, but eventually, his next Star Upgrade Quest was ready.

During that hour, Daniel’s clones had already visited the other major factions and negotiated terms for the construction of additional Infinite Divine Temples.

Of course, there had been a few "complications."

The demon clan, for instance, insisted on bargaining and trying to haggle.

After two full rounds of negotiation, Daniel ran out of patience and simply killed the Demon Emperor along with his core loyalists.

That did the trick.

The demon clan quickly agreed to Daniel’s terms, and within thirty minutes, they delivered all the materials he requested.

At this point, Daniel held a dizzying number of titles:

Crowned King of both the human and elven realmsSovereign of the abyssSupreme Ruler of the demon clanGrand Duke of the blood clanWarlord of the orc clan

Looking at the list, Daniel allowed himself a small, satisfied smile.

Indeed, once these so-called proud and haughty races witnessed his strength for themselves, they all started singing a very different tune.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Daniel retrieved the necessary materials for [Mini Resurrection] from his inventory.

Without a second thought, he selected Synthesize.

A moment later, the skill appeared in his ability list.

To his surprise, [Mini Resurrection] was even categorized under the God Rank Skills section.

[Mini Resurrection]

Effect: Revives any lifeform that died within the last 2 days, provided their level is no higher than 250 (skill level +100). Cooldown: 10 hours. Target must be a corpse or soul.

Limitation: Revived undead remain undead and cannot return to their living form.

[Note: This is a simplified God Rank Skill. If you acquire the full version in the future, it will automatically overwrite this one.]

[Skill detected as not yet maxed. Would you like to max it now?]

There was no reason to hesitate.

"Max it!"

With Daniel’s selection, the simplified skill underwent a transformation.

[God Rank Skill: Grand Resurrection]

Effect: Revives any lifeform that died within the last 7 days. Resurrection Limit: 99+

Limitation: Revived undead remain undead and cannot return to their living form.

Daniel stared at the update, dumbfounded.

Wait... what?!

Was this real?

He just maxed out a simplified skill, and now it was showing the full version?

His mouth twitched involuntarily.

He never expected that Simplified God Rank Skills, when paired with the Max Out feature, would result in this kind of upgrade.

In other words, he used reduced-cost materials but ended up with the full-blown God-rank skill?

He had just hit the jackpot.

After a moment of excitement, Daniel regained his composure.

Because in truth, this outcome made sense.

With his current talent specialization and attributes, most God-rank Skills would automatically be enhanced significantly once acquired.

Bottom line—he came out ahead.

No complaints.

...

In the northern human frontier—

As news of the Void Tower continued to spread, more and more awakeners began flocking to the region.

However, due to its structure, the Void Tower couldn’t accommodate everyone at once.

So the awakeners had no choice but to queue up.

But even with long wait times, interest in the Void Tower only grew.

Rather than diminishing enthusiasm, it increased it.

As if responding to the urgent call of the times, awakeners from all over the world streamed toward the north, toward the one structure that offered them a real chance at survival.

After all, the Millennial Apocalypse loomed ever closer.

And for many, this tower—this gift of the Void—was the last, best hope to rewrite their destiny.
