The final new profession trait was ‘Master’s Pressure’.

The core of the trait was Authority-rank suppression and low-level immunity.

Some low-to-mid-level Elemental Techniques would automatically detour around Su Chen or disintegrate entirely upon entering a certain range due to the rank suppression.

At the same time,

this trait was also a super-sized version of a psychic shock. It could be used on single or multiple targets, inflicting a powerful mental deterrent effect on living beings. Those with weak willpower could be stunned on the spot.

‘So the Six-Star Master of All Things comes with Spiritual Ability effects, too.’

As Su Chen mused, he discovered that in addition to the seven profession traits, the First and Second Authorities also benefited his Spirit Element Runes.

[First Authority]: Any ten mastered Elemental or Spirit Element Runes will automatically gain all traits and enhancement effects of the next level.

[Second Authority]: Allows three Elemental or Spirit Element Runes to gain all traits and enhancement effects of the next two levels.

As for the Third Authority’s Element transmutation effect, it did not apply to the Spirit Element. Its enhancement was also limited, merely extending the duration of the transformation to six hours.

These were all the Authorities and traits of the Master of All Things.

‘A complete, qualitative leap over the Grand Elemental Master,’ Su Chen marveled.

Just then,

as he gathered his thoughts and withdrew from introspecting his Sea of Consciousness, an emotionless voice echoed from within the inheritance space.

You have completed the class change to “Master of All Things.” Do you wish to officially embark on the path of promotion to obtain the unique authority medium required for the class change, the “Seven-Colored Soul Pearl”?

Please be aware, you only have one chance to choose.

Please confirm, yes or no?

‘So soon?’

Su Chen was slightly taken aback, completely in the dark about this path of promotion.

He subconsciously asked aloud, “What exactly is the path of promotion? What do I need to do?”

However, the void remained silent.

There was no further response.

The voice from moments ago seemed to be nothing more than an ancient program, preset deep within the Inheritance Sanctuary, triggered as soon as its conditions were met.

It was, as always, just an automated response.

Of course, a profession’s Star Level promotion was undeniably tempting. Given his personality, there was no way he would pass it up.

‘Bring it on,’ Su Chen thought with an inward sigh.

You have officially embarked on the path of promotion. Current requirements for promotion to the next Star Level…

[Soul Sublimation: 1/3]

[Unique authority medium ‘Seven-Colored Soul Pearl’: 0/1.]

[Inheritance Stone Tablet: 0/1]

You have officially joined the Master’s Dispute Trial and will now begin to contend for the unique authority on your professional path.

The next instant,

before Su Chen could even digest this information,

an irresistible, immense power suddenly lifted a wisp of his consciousness. It pierced upward through the inheritance space, and Dongfu City shrank rapidly below his feet, becoming an imperceptible black dot on a map in the blink of an eye.

Higher still, a sea of clouds churned, the night sky was as black as ink, and the stars hung low.

He looked down upon the entire continent. On the surface below, points of fluorescent light were scattered across forests, snowfields, and coastlines, as if the embers of civilizations had been sown across the land.

‘How many cities were teleported here? And are they all from Earth!?’

The moment this thought arose, his consciousness was violently dragged into a star that seemed close at hand.

There was no sensation of falling, only a momentary weightlessness as streams of light swirled around him.

Soon, he found himself seated.

Beside a round table woven from starlight, twelve chairs stood in silence. His wisp of consciousness sank into the head chair like a brand.

[Soul Brand has been anchored to a slot]

[Current number of Trialists: 1/12]

[If twelve Masters of All Things are not gathered within thirty days, the trial will be forcibly initiated.]

There were not enough participants.

The message had barely faded, and before Su Chen could even take a moment to observe his surroundings,

SWISH!

his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to that endless, pure white inheritance space.

Su Chen mulled it over for a moment, organizing the vast amount of information he had just received.

First, he was most likely the very first ‘Master of All Things’ to exist, unless someone had given up the opportunity to change classes, unwilling to become stronger.

And once he confirmed he would embark on the path of promotion, there was no backing out.

The so-called Master’s Dispute Trial involved, at most, twelve Masters of All Things fighting amongst themselves to seize the unique authority for promotion.

Extrapolating from this, the Seven-Star Profession he would eventually master was bound to be unique as well.

Of course…

‘The premise is that I have to survive.’

The twelve chairs at the round table certainly weren’t for some social deduction game; it was more likely going to be a battle royale.

Second, thanks to his consciousness briefly transcending the world’s dimensional perspective, he had managed to catch a glimpse of the world map. Dongfu City and Oran were merely the tip of the iceberg.

He had no idea where the other part of the original Dongfu City had ended up.

As his memory flashed back, he recalled seeing the area of the snowy mountains north of the city glowing like a firefly from his high-altitude perspective. That had to be a city cluster or some other kind of light source.

‘That must be another city in the surrounding area,’ Su Chen mused, though he had no idea of its origins.

But starting out in a snowy mountain region with no power city-wide was equivalent to a nightmare start. He couldn’t imagine how many people had died.

Just then,

another sound came from the inheritance space.

Based on the traits of your class’s Authority, please select one of the following three Gold-quality Magic Blessing talents.

When Su Chen had entered the inheritance space, the promotion class change voucher and talent acquisition voucher he possessed had both been submitted.

Instantly,

three talents, shimmering with brilliant golden light, descended before him.

Their effects were available for him to inspect.

One, Overload Torrent.

Instantly overload and cast up to three Runes, completely draining the Energy Bar in exchange for a 300% to 500% bonus to elemental damage output.

At the same time, a single Rune could also transform into a triple-torrent effect, like a bursting dam.
