Divine Authority of Bestowal and Seizure (World’s Rare Treasure)

"Appraise this material for me, Knight Sister."

Knight Sister looked at the glowing white God’s Hair in Bai Cangshu’s hand with some admiration.

"A lifeform created by a planet, containing the power of the Planet’s Will… Yet in the end, it still fell to pure violence."

Knight Sister’s voice drifted faintly. Golden light filled her eyes, as though she were looking through the material and seeing the godlike existence of B711 World.

A planet-created lifeform… Bai Cangshu silently remembered that description. Perhaps the Star Spirits in this world were far broader in scope than he had imagined.

Seen that way, finding a reincarnator with Star Spirit bloodline within Azure Sky was not all that unimaginable.

Not all Star Spirits possessed strength as terrifying as Son Goku, the Halloween Queen, or the White Night Yaksha in Little Garden.

As Knight Sister raised her hand, a golden sheen spread from the glowing white hair.

Visible golden fragments drifted out from it. Then, a ring of glowing white light naturally began to coil around the God’s Hair, fully revealing a special power.

Material: God's Hair

Quality: World's Rare Treasure

Description: A holy spirit from a certain world that carried out the mission of cleansing the world, containing the power of bestowal and destruction.

Effect: After forging, one of the following traits may be obtained:

A: Planet's Dark Side (Extremely Rare)—All attributes +3. Gain the special race designation: Life-Slaying Species. All abilities gain an additional 30% effect against primates.

B: Energy Torrent (Rare)—Energy attribute +7. Gain the special trait: Energy Torrent. The effects of all energy-release abilities increase by 50%.

C: Divine Authority of Bestowal and Seizure (World's Rare Treasure)—Gain the Authority of Bestowal and Seizure. You may bestow energy you possess upon any being whose level does not exceed your own, and reclaim it at any time. After bestowal, you will lose that portion of your power. Upon seizure, the target creature will die, and the reclaimed power will gain all buffs and enhancements acquired during the target's possession.

D: Star Child (World's Rare Treasure)—As I walk upon the earth, the leylines surge with me. Gain the special bloodline trait: Star Child. When any part of your body touches the ground of a planet whose Planet's Will still survives, you will gain the power of surging leylines and receive Leyline Infusion. (The upper limit of leyline power the body can endure is related to the reincarnator's physique and bloodline. Exceeding that limit may result in consequences including, but not limited to, bodily collapse.)

"This is truly a rare trait…"

Even Knight Sister was looking at the glowing white, pipe-thick strand of hair in Bai Cangshu’s hand in amazement.

Materials capable of producing World’s Rare Treasure-quality forging options were rare even throughout the entire space.

Yet this material had produced two options of that level at once.

If he put this thing up for auction, Bai Cangshu estimated that its price would not be lower than Kaio-ken.

Moreover, this was the first time Bai Cangshu had seen a material grant not a trait, but an Authority and a bloodline trait.

From this, Bai Cangshu roughly understood why Knight Sister and the others continued pursuing God’s Staircase even though it did not grant additional abilities or traits.

Those batches of most powerful materials alone were enough to forge a top-tier powerhouse!

"Need some time to think, greedy reincarnator~?"

Knight Sister winked at Bai Cangshu, seemingly teasing him. This "NPC," the most popular among reincarnators, truly had a far more likable personality than the others.

Bai Cangshu quickly skipped over options A and B. Even though option B was probably the material he had been searching for all along, one that could directly raise a reincarnator’s energy attribute.

But on material of this caliber, a mere Rare-grade entry was a complete waste.

Bai Cangshu could not possibly give up greater power for a few points of energy attribute.

The Authority in option C immediately made Bai Cangshu think of the god creating the Dragon-level Monster Homeless Emperor.

Bestow energy, create a powerful monster, reclaim the energy, and the other party died instantly.

On the other hand, if this Authority fell into Bai Cangshu’s hands, there would be far more room for manipulation.

His qi and Magnetic Field Rotation were not particularly powerful, and bestowing them would weaken his own combat strength. But when he seized them back, he could absorb the enhancements the other party had gained.

That made this Authority similar to the kind of power Yhwach used to bestow Schrift…

In the long run, the upper limit of this Authority was definitely extremely high.

As for option D, Star Child, it would grant him a new bloodline trait and give him characteristics similar to a Star Spirit. As long as he stood upon land with a Planet’s Will, he could receive the infusion of surging leylines.

It was an absolutely powerful ability, whether for the present or the future.

Furthermore, the implication revealed by this bloodline trait was that this Star Child was not limited to any particular world.

That meant Bai Cangshu had a chance to use it to once again experience that powerful state he had possessed in the Type-Moon World.

When the time came, heaven and earth would lend their strength. In that state, Bai Cangshu could almost freely use all his abilities. His luck would become extreme, and everything would move in a direction favorable to him. He could truly be called the "protagonist of the world."

Unconsciously, Bai Cangshu kept rotating and tapping the side of his head with his fingertips. Weak electric currents repeatedly stimulated his cerebral cortex, making his thoughts run faster and faster.

All kinds of scenes rolled through his mind like a film before finally freezing. Bai Cangshu exhaled a breath of turbid air, lowering his right hand as residual lightning lingered above his head.

"I choose… C!"

Bai Cangshu had imagined activating Kaio-ken and the Limiter under the conditions of Star Child, but in the end, all such explosive abilities were constrained by his current physical capabilities.

In terms of his current explosive upper limit, whether it was Despair Savior Mode or Kaio-ken combined with the newly acquired Kirin Armor bloodline trait, he had already far exceeded the standard and possessed top-tier combat power in the space.

What he needed was not another explosive mode, but power that could genuinely strengthen his foundation!

And besides… Bai Cangshu possessed Gantz, allowing him to achieve many effects beyond anyone else’s imagination in conjunction with Divine Authority of Bestowal and Seizure!

For example… he could secretly hide away a batch of clones dedicated to cultivation. He could even directly send out those clones possessing part of his power, letting them struggle, learn, and evolve under the pressure of death.

Then he could reclaim his power from them one by one, allowing himself to break through to a higher realm!

Seeing that there was no longer any hesitation in Bai Cangshu’s eyes, Knight Sister nodded. He was someone who would never regret making a choice. Perhaps only such a person could continuously climb God’s Staircase until… the end.

Knight Sister clenched her hand, and a golden halo erupted from within her body. The next moment, her entire form transformed within the light once more into her mature state. Her long hair fell loose, and her power and presence immediately began pressing down on Bai Cangshu.

She grasped the God’s Hair from afar. Within the golden light, rings of glowing white radiance shattered one after another, and the God’s Hair began to melt directly, turning into glowing white liquid.

Knight Sister pointed a finger, and the liquid immediately seeped into the surface of Bai Cangshu’s skin.

The next moment, Bai Cangshu felt an immense sense of weightlessness strike him. The scene before his eyes began to churn violently, as though countless pieces of information and countless images were entering his brain at once.

His pupils trembled continuously as he forcibly recorded scene after scene. It was probably the process of a world’s formation.

Time passed over the barren earth. In the end, a Great Will emerged from beneath the land.

Some called It Gaia, some called It the Mother of Life, and some called It—Origin!

The Great Will extended both hands. Bai Cangshu felt himself instantly enveloped by an incomparably vast will. It was the fusion of countless wills, or rather, the countless wills within the planet had all spread and derived from this Great Will…

Bai Cangshu abruptly opened his eyes, white light bursting from them.

A special power began to flow through Bai Cangshu’s body.

You have obtained Divine Authority of Bestowal and Seizure (World's Rare Treasure)

Divine Authority of Bestowal and Seizure (Compatibility: 87%): Weak Divine Power

"To have such high compatibility, reincarnator, you… possess great divinity!"

Knight Sister’s body shrank, and her voice changed from mature and magnetic to lively as she spoke.

Bai Cangshu merely tilted his head, carefully savoring this special power known as an Authority.

Divinity…

Thinking of the will he had seen and felt, if divinity meant having the mentality to view humans as ants, then he truly did possess great divinity.
