Chapter 1: Eternal-tier Talent—Life’s Grace


    The vastnd filled with emptiness


    Su Ming didnt notice how long he had been fighting for, and that there were already hundreds of millions of people around him.


    <em><i>ROAR!</i></em>


    A gigantic cosmic beast stood in the void with its cold, gleaming eyes. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and let out a fierce roar, creating a rift in the void and resulting in the death of countless creatures around it.


    Su Mings consciousness started blurring.


    His body felt a little cold.


    Thest scene he saw was the descent of an enormous ice prison, which transformed tens of millions of yers into ice sculptures Gradually, the entire ce became silent


    The Dragon Empire, an apartment in Dong Hai City.


    Huhu* [TLN: sound of the wind.]


    Su Ming kept sshing cold water on his face.


    Only the cold sensation could calm him down from the reflection he was seeing in the mirror. Soon, he broke outughing in a carefree manner.


    Ive really been reborneverything can start all over again.


    Su Ming hadn''t felt as rxed as he was feeling right now, since the beginning of the world invasion.


    <em><i>April 11, Year 2022, today was where it all began!</i></em>


    Cards were drifting down from the sky all over the world. Through this card, people could enter a virtual game world called <Origin>.


    At first, people thought that it was an alien invasion.


    But when the yers logged out from the game, they were surprised to find that their powers inside the game were carried into the real world.


    At this moment, everyones passion was fully ignited.


    All people around the world entered the virtual game <Origin>.


    A new era has dawned.


    At around the midpoint of the game, the yers received the ability to transverse through others, resulting in the location of the Blue being revealed and the getting invaded. Eventually, foreign civilizations had arrived at the Blue and they tried to enve the humans.


    As for the result? Humanity refused them, so a war broke out.


    Now that Im reborn, I wont let the chance that God gave me go to waste.


    "I am bound to seize every opportunity to grow and be stronger."


    Soon, Su Ming arrived at his living room and saw the login card on the table. Numerous thoughts shed inside his mind.


    As he slowly opened his eyes, the cards hade into existence.


    And the crystal pattern in the center of the card was actually golden!


    As far as he was aware, there were only four crystal colors cards: white, green, blue and violet.


    Those colors represented the quality of the login cards.


    The higher the cards quality, the higher the probability of receiving a better talent at the creation of a game ount.


    Su Ming had never heard of a golden login card before.


    But there was a feeling in his heart that this golden card could bring him changes.


    "Let''s use this card to create my ount.


    Making up his mind, Su Ming took the card and muttered "login" in his head.


    As soon as he said login the card merged inside his body, and a cold, mechanical system voice sounded in his ears.


    "<em><i>Verifying the yers qualifications</i></em>"


    <em><i>Verification sessful! yer Login Identification: Ancient River Gxy, Blue Civilization. Race: Ordinary human</i></em>


    "<em><i>Game ount NGL-LY00,022,1875 has been created, would you like to enter the game?</i></em>"


    Su Ming directly agreed.


    The surrounding started changing rapidly.


    In the next moment, he arrived at a pitch-ck space where only the shining stars could be seen.


    "<em><i>Ding, the system has detected </i></em><em><i>theEternal-tier</i></em><em><i>Login </i></em><em><i>Card</i></em><em><i>, the yer will receive a chance to get an exclusive talent from the roulette wheel.</i></em>"


    A pale golden roulette wheel emerged in front of Su Ming.


    The wheel then spun rapidly. Su Ming''s mood was calm; it didnt matter whether his talent was good or bad.


    To him, the battle experiences from his previous life and the memories of many of his important missions were his greatest treasures.


    Unless


    When the roulette wheel stopped, Su Ming''s words came to an abrupt halt.


    "<em><i>Ding! Congrattions on obtaining the Eternal-tier Talent:</i></em><em><i>Lifes Grace</i></em><em><i>.</i></em>


    <em><i>Psst</i></em>, did I hear you right? Eternal-tier Talent?!


    Su Ming already became a little excited.


    In his previous life, whether it was a yer from the Blue, or a yer from another, no one had ever obtained an Eternal-tier Talent before! Even the highest talent tier on record was a Mythic-tier Talent.


    Only five people upied the spot as a Mythic-tier Talent!


    And those five people were the rulers of the five civilizations in the universe.


    The Eternal-tier Talent was two levels higher than the Mythic Tier. How could Su Ming not be excited to obtain such a godly talent that was seven levels higher than his previous lifes talent.


    This difference was akin to the difference between heaven and earth.


    Thinking of this, Su Ming clicked on the details of the talent.


    Talent: Lifes Grace (Eternal-tier)


    <em><i>Effect: When healed by any healing skill, you will randomly receive ayer of permanent buffs that cannot be removed. The stronger the single healing effect per unit, the higher the quality of the buff.</i></em>


    "Looking at the description, this talent is indeed strong, but I need a healing skill to trigger it, so I would need to choose between the priest profession or to have a priest assist me in activating the buff."


    This


    Su Ming was a bit distressed.


    His thoughts were interrupted by the system prompt.


    "<em><i>Ding esteemed yer, please enter your character''s name.</i></em>"


    Cang Hai.


    Su Ming immediately chose the username from his previous game as a memorial to the past.


    "<em><i>Depending on your region, please choose a starting ss from [Warrior, Knight, Archer, Assassin, Mage, Priest, and Summoner].</i></em>"


    Su Ming was a mage in his previous life, but because of his Lifes Grace talent, he had to make a change.


    After a careful consideration, Su Ming finally came down to a decision.


    I choose Priest.


    Other professions that possessed healing skills were extremely rare, and in order to make use of Lifes Grace, he had to recruit other priests to heal him continuously.


    This kind of behavior would scream one thing: I have a special talent!


    Talent was the foundation for every yer to be stronger. If the information about his gears were to leak out, the worst case scenario would be to change his gear, but if his talents were to get exposed troubles woulde running to him, and given the fact that he could not change his talent, this was a serious matter.


    Su Ming believed that most people would exert all means to hide their talents.


    Therefore, only priests could bring out the maximum potential ofLifes Grace. Besides, priests had the choice to choose their advanced ss as abat-type, and werent always necessary to only act as a support.


    After choosing a ss, his character was sessfully created.
