Chapter 858: Chapter 776: Shane’s Path to Transcendence
In the distant sky, seven streams of light flew rapidly, heading towards Central City.
Shane followed behind the six demons, watching their backs, yet his mind was completely focused on himself.
At this moment, Shane only felt his whole body full of energy, his magic power flowing more smoothly than ever before, even his spirit was unexpectedly good, with a feeling akin to rebirth.
“So this is the Limit Level?”
Calming down to experience it, Shane expressed this sentiment.
The feeling of leveling up was not new to Shane.
Each level up was akin to an elevation, greatly enhancing his strength.
However, compared to previous upgrades, this experience was distinctly different.
In past level-ups, even reaching Legendary Level, Shane only felt stronger, without other sensations.
But this time, upon reaching Limit Level, Shane felt as if his Life Force had increased greatly, as if every cell in his body became active, a very wondrous feeling.
Such a feeling had never occurred in any previous upgrade.
“It seems that the Limit Level has a big difference from levels not yet reached to the limit.”
Shane thought silently.
He wasn’t referring to differences in strength, but rather in the essence of life.
It’s like before reaching the limit, all growth was normal development, only upon reaching the limit did it truly mature.
Vaguely, Shane even felt a barrier.
A barrier intercepting ‘Life’, stopping them from advancing further.
This made Shane instantly understand.
“As long as I break through this barrier, I can transcend life as it should be and enter Transcend Level.”
This idea was accepted.
“After all, Limit Level is the real meaning of the limit, the unavoidable limit of all life forms, once crossed, naturally a complete transcendence, no longer limited merely within ordinary life levels.”
The one saying this was none other than Chafne, who could hear Shane’s internal voice.
This witch appeared beside Shane unknowingly, looking at him in contemplation, said this.
“But the life’s limit is bound in the rules and laws within [Reason], the world’s truth itself, as long as it is life, it cannot cross that barrier.”
It’s not a matter of whether it can be done, but whether it can be done.
Like a game, its capped level sits there, how can you surpass the system design to level beyond the cap?
Impossible to accomplish.
And in the world of Omni Potanssen, the so-called [Reason] is the game system.
It prescribes apples fall, then apples fall.
It prescribes water flows downward, then water flows downward.
It prescribes fire burns, then fire burns.
It prescribes humans have birth, aging, illness, and death, then humans have birth, aging, illness, and death.
It is the world’s laws and rules itself.
If the world of Omni Potanssen is a game, then [Reason] is the system of that game.
Accordingly, as long as it’s a life form, one can only level up to Level 100, this is the world’s ultimate truth and rule.
To surpass this limit, unless the game’s designer intervenes, or a Bug that can destroy the game occurs, it’s absolutely impossible.
The Three Great Goddesses and Six Great Demons are inherently Transcend Level, the former being akin to the designer’s daughters, equivalent to possessing administrator privileges, the latter born from Bugs, naturally able to break game rules.
Other Transcend Level beings or those involved with Transcendence Realm also cannot be separated from these influences.
“Only those belonging to the otherworld, not of this world, and on par with the Demon King and Supreme God like the Hero can achieve crossing that barrier through their own efforts, successfully transcending.”
Chafne looked at Shane and said this.
“Though few Heroes in history have successfully transcended, I think you surely can.”
Chafne gave Shane the highest evaluation.
Shane also knew, since he could feel this barrier, crossing it shouldn’t be impossible.
Other Limit Level beings probably can’t even sense this barrier, right?
Seeing the obstacle allows one to transcend it.
If one can’t see the obstacle, how can there be talk of transcendence?
Limit Level beings outside the Hero are like this, unable to see the wall they can cross, only wandering in place.
Only special beings like half-demons or Great Spirit Body can bypass this wall through special means, and glimpse the world on the other side.
Sadly, they merely bypassed it, not truly crossing over.
So, even if they see the world beyond the wall, it’s only temporary, not indicating the wall no longer exists or impedes them.
Shane pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze towards Chafne.
“How can I break through to the Transcend Level?”
Shane asked the most fundamental question.
As he was already at the Limit Level, with the possibility of crossing into the Transcend Level, Shane naturally needed to find a way to transcend.
By then, he would truly enter the realm of the demons, and the Holy Sword would also transform into transcendence, no longer limited to the power displayed by data, showing its true form.
At that time, Shane would truly fear no one.
However…
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know.” Chafne surprisingly said, “Also, don’t ask others; others won’t know either.”
“This…” Shane was taken aback.
As an existence of the Transcend Level, yet not knowing how to break through to the Transcend Level?
What kind of joke is this?
“I’m not joking.”
Chafne seemed to see through Shane’s thought and laughed.
“Haven’t it been said many times? From ancient times to the present, only Heroes can normally break through to the Transcend Level.”
Upon hearing Chafne’s words, Shane understood.
“You mean, you all are inherently Transcend Level, and simply don’t know the normal way to break through, right?”
Shane spoke his thoughts reflectively.
The answer was correct.
“Don’t speak of breaking through from Limit Level to Transcend Level; we’ve never even experienced normal growth through life’s training upgrades.” Chafne shook her head as she said, “Those uncompleted transcendence existences are the same; they only possess Transcend Level combat power through innate traits or external forces. Even if you asked them how to break through to Transcend Level, they couldn’t answer this question.”
The only ones able to answer this question are those Heroes who have successfully transcended.
However…
“As far as I know, the method for Heroes to break through to the Transcend Level is not fixed.”
Chafne said to Shane.
“Like Mitra, he entered the Inner Sanctum after reaching Limit Level and, aided by the insights gained in the Inner Sanctum, succeeded in breaking through to Transcend Level. Other Limit Level existences, even if they enter the Inner Sanctum, cannot break through.”
People’s gains in the Inner Sanctum are inherently inconsistent; some simply upgrade their level, some acquire a special skill, and some merely increase their Magic Power; hence there’s a variety of achievements.
Considering this, even entering the Inner Sanctum wouldn’t guarantee Shane’s success in breaking through.
Moreover, Shane had already entered the Inner Sanctum once and could no longer enter.
“Throughout history, other Limit Level Heroes also entered the Inner Sanctum, hoping to leverage the insights from the Inner Sanctum to break through, but only Mitra succeeded, and the insights for other Heroes were insufficient to help them break through to Transcend Level.”
Chafne spoke eloquently.
“There are also Heroes who did nothing but continued regular training, yet suddenly and inexplicably broke through.”
“Some Heroes even broke through by killing enemies on the battlefield—it happens suddenly, and when they come to their senses, they have transcended their original limits and achieved transcendence.”
“Thus, no one can truly understand what causes Heroes to break through the limit and step into transcendence.”
In summary, no one knows the methods of breaking through to the Transcend Level, and they cannot be replicated.
“I think that the ways Heroes break through are not uniform; previous experiences may not be applicable to you.” Chafne chuckled softly, “If you want to break through, you’ll probably need to carve out a path that belongs uniquely to yourself.”
“A path uniquely my own…?” Shane fell into contemplation.
As a result, apart from Chafne, the other demons unknowingly appeared around Shane.
“Don’t rush.” Sera comforted, “Your potential is extraordinary, even beyond that of Mitra. If it’s you, you’ll definitely break through successfully.”
“That’s right.” Lide nodded, “Maybe if you continue to simmer for a while, you’ll grasp the method to break through.”
“Of course, transcending isn’t that easy to achieve.” Camina poured a bucket of cold water, “For countless tens of thousands of years, many Heroes have appeared in this world, but only a very few have successfully transcended.”
“Hmm!” Milu nodded seriously, “Many Heroes are very weak!”
This evaluation could make many past Heroes cry dismally in the toilet.
At this time, Ai Yi also spoke up.
“You’ve just reached the Limit Level; it’s too early to be considering transcendence,” Ai Yi said bluntly, “I believe you don’t need to worry about this matter; when it’s necessary, the blessing on you will surely guide you to encounter the opportunity for a successful breakthrough.”
After all, that’s the blessing left by the Supreme God.
Equating to being under the protection of the world itself, this blessing will surely guide Shane in finding the opportunity for breakthrough in the future.
Shane’s path to transcendence will be smoother than all past Heroes.
What he may lack is merely some time and opportunity.
“Alright then.”
Shane could only nod.
