If there was no upper limit, then there was truly no upper limit.

Fortunately, there was still the Source of Monsters, an Epic item. Otherwise, Noah’s second Epic item would most likely have ended up being just another general item.

He glanced at the time. There were still two and a half minutes remaining.

Noah was in no rush to leave. Instead, he turned his attention to his Talents.

After the Advancement, his Talents had clearly been enhanced.

However, there were no visible changes in their descriptions. This made it obvious that any significant transformation would only occur once the Talents underwent sublimation.

Others might need to repeatedly use their Talents to gauge how much they had improved.

But Noah was different. He did not need to test them at all.

"Insight."

As his gaze fell upon his Talents, Noah instantly understood all the changes.

All three of his Talents had been enhanced.

Undying and Unbreakable: After resurrection, he would enter an Absolute Defense state. The duration had increased from one minute to two minutes.

This was undoubtedly a massive improvement. It meant he could go all out without holding back for at least two full minutes.

Of course, he had to die once to trigger it, but that was not a major issue.

Getting Stronger with Every Breath: The attributes gained per minute had increased to 30, three times that of the Three order.

The total attributes he could gain in a single day had now reached 43,200.

For the Four order, the attribute range was between 100,000 and 1,000,000. At this rate, Noah would need about 23 days to reach the upper limit of the Four order.

Of course, this was only based on his natural growth speed. In reality, his current attributes had already surpassed that limit long ago.

More than 40,000 attribute points per day. No need to run instances, no need to cultivate. He could just lie down and grow stronger.

Noah was extremely satisfied.

Insight: The consumption had decreased.

Originally, this Talent allowed him to learn anything as long as he could afford the cost. There was no real need to enhance its effect in other ways. Simply reducing the consumption was already a form of improvement.

After that, Noah glanced at the Savage Bloodline skill.

[Savage Bloodline Lv6+2]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Type: Passive Skill, Bloodline]

[The ancient Savage Bloodline has further transformed within your body. You possess immensely powerful physical attributes. Strength +3.6 million, Agility +1.8 million, Constitution +3.6 million.

When the bloodline power is unleashed, Strength +180%, Agility +90%, Constitution +180%]

"This is outrageous."

Looking at the attributes granted by Savage Bloodline, even Noah could not hide his shock.

Its level had not changed, nor had its quality. However, due to the special nature of the bloodline, the boosts to Strength, Agility, and Constitution had increased tenfold, pushing him straight into the realm of a Five Order expert.

"It’s a pity bloodlines cannot coexist."

The enhancement provided by bloodlines was simply too great. If it were possible, Noah would have gladly awakened several more. Unfortunately, the exclusivity of bloodlines made that idea impossible.

Rank Suppression and Life Force Field, these two inherent skills, had both advanced to the level of a Five Order expert.

Clearly, the +1 bonus from the earlier Talent sublimation had always been in effect.

As for the Pioneer title, with Noah clearing the Advancement Instance once again, he obtained another one. His total attribute boost had now reached 12%.

Noah was not in a hurry to check his other gains. The maximum time allowed in the instance had already been reached.

"Exit instance."

...

[World Announcement: Congratulations to Noah, Ethan, Rose, Smith, Lily, Olivia, Leo, Aurora, Zara, and Claire for clearing the Advancement Instance World of Demons and becoming Four order Awakeners. Special reward Title Pioneer]

The system prompt echoed in the ears of everyone on Blue Star.

"Great God Noah and the others are already Four order, while I am still stuck at Zero order. I am going to cry."

"Cry about what? The instance difficulty has not changed. After all the benefits everyone received, you are still at Zero order. Maybe you should ask yourself if you actually worked hard."

"Huh, there are no rewards for everyone this time."

Some people already knew that Noah and the others had entered the Advancement Instance, so the World Announcement did not surprise them.

However, compared to the previous two Ascension announcements, this one felt much more ordinary. It was just a standard first clear announcement. There were no global rewards and nothing extra.

This was completely normal. Special rewards were only granted when a new difficulty was cleared within the time limit.

The absence of special rewards had both advantages and disadvantages. At the very least, it meant there were no additional side effects.

Meanwhile, the two disaster countdowns hanging in the sky remained completely unchanged.

The countdown to the Disaster had not changed.

Most people on Blue Star felt relieved, but quite a few were also disappointed.

In their eyes, the boost from the universal rewards was simply too great. It was the kind of opportunity that rarely appeared. Compared to that, what did it matter if the Disaster arrived a little earlier?

For most people, a shorter countdown would not significantly increase their strength. The benefits they could gain in that extra time were far less than what a universal reward could provide.

If they could not clear an Instance now, would they suddenly be able to do it with ten more days or even half a month?

Obviously not.

On top of that, there was the added benefit of permanently increasing the chances of awakening high level Talents.

Over the past month, among those in Starfall Country who had just turned sixteen, a large number had awakened S grade and above Talents. The proportion was far higher than during the initial global awakening.

Soon, a post appeared on the Transcendent Forum.

The poster carefully analyzed the pros and cons of universal rewards and ultimately directed an appeal at Noah. They argued that he should not worry about the side effect of the Disaster arriving earlier. Instead, he should aim to secure as many universal rewards as possible, since they benefited everyone on Blue Star.
