The Era of Gods-Chapter 463 - Unique Power System
Chapter 463: Chapter 463 Unique Power System
The concept of a bloodline sorcerer is quite straightforward, currently limited to only the Asura Naga and Star Spirit bloodlines.
Because the professions are primarily based on these two races’ bloodlines, the Supreme Naga and the Star Spirits are temporarily unable to obtain the occupation of bloodline sorcerer.
The Red Furnace Clan can become Star Spirit bloodline sorcerers, thereby gaining the powerful casting abilities of the Star Spirits.
In theory, they could eventually transform into Star Spirits after pushing the profession’s bloodline to its limit, but for the Red Furnace Clan to transform into Star Spirits…
Lin Xiao always found it a bit peculiar.
The most compatible are the Lesser Naga and the Asura Naga bloodlines since the bloodline sorcerer profession is not merely a job but also a bloodline. If the Lesser Naga switches their profession to a Supreme Naga bloodline sorcerer, it would significantly strengthen their inherent Naga bloodline. The combination of the two would make it easier to reach the critical point for bloodline transformation, hence making it easier to transform into a Supreme Naga. This could be considered an additional benefit.
While the quantity of the three types of profession sorcerers is limited, there is no limit to the number of bloodline sorcerers. Although the transcendent sorcerer is also unrestricted, due to the stringent prerequisites needed to solidify the profession seed, they cannot switch professions infinitely, so this is considered finite.
For bloodline sorcerers, Lin Xiao only needs to use one hundred units of Divine Power to condense a bloodline core.
Well, bloodline sorcerer is just a term he uses. It could also be called a bloodline core, or a profession core; any name works, the meaning is the same.
At the cost of just one hundred units of Divine Power, for the current Lin Xiao, he can condense a sizeable number of them each day. In the future, as the number of believers and Divine Power increase, it is essentially unrestricted.
He has already started preparing and casting the cores into the Moon Cloud Realm.
Although Lin Xiao only needs a portion of the Moon Cloud Realm’s followers, giving most of them to the many demigods and true gods of the guard squad, he also retained some for himself, specifically the Mage profession.
In the Moon Cloud Realm, Lin Xiao’s identity is as the King of Gods with the Godhood of Truth and Creation. Not one of the godly vocations held by the two guard squad True Gods and twenty High-Level Demigods has anything to do with Mages or Wisdom, so all followers who are Mages, poets, artists, and the like, are his followers.
These high-wisdom followers have always been the rulers of the worlds, and it is the same in any world.
Mages are more likely to accept this. Lin Xiao, viewing the Star Spirit bloodline core as a divine gift, bestowed it upon faithful Mage followers, thereby granting them more powerful strength, and…
If they could push the Star Spirit bloodline to the peak, they might transform into new Star Spirits, which is also a method to increase the number of Star Spirits.
Transcendent sorcerers require a full ten thousand units of Divine Power and one-tenth of a unit of the Crystal Wall Origin, or considered another way, as exchanging one unit of the Crystal Wall Origin for ten units of Creation Energy—that equals one unit of Creation Energy plus one hundred thousand units of Divine Power to create ten transcendent cores.
In theory, there is no limit to the number of transcendent sorcerers, but because transcendent sorcerers are too powerful—particularly with untapped potential that’s virtually limitless—it is frightening to think that currently, even Rank 1 extraordinary abilities are so potent. Imagine if Lin Xiao could enhance a group of powers comparable to legendary spells in the future; just consider how terrifying it would be for a Mage to cast legendary spells as easily as eating and drinking.
Therefore, transcendent sorcerers need a trace of Crystal Wall Origin and vast amounts of Divine Power to solidify a transcendent core, which is the limitation of this profession.
The only downside is that this profession has quite a strong exclusivity; once a person switches to it, they cannot have any other occupation. If they had a different occupation beforehand, they must decide whether to give it up.
For example, if a Star Spirit Clan member switched to a transcendent sorcerer, they wouldn’t be able to switch to the Mage profession.
At the moment, transcendent sorcerers possess only five extraordinary abilities: foresight, Godspeed, transcendent berserk, enhanced summon water elemental, and flame burst fireball. Collectively, these are comparable in power to a Rank 6 transcendent sorcerer with less diverse but exceedingly formidable abilities, and they would probably defeat any general Rank 6 profession at the present stage.
However, their tactics are too limited, which could become quite awkward when encountering something that counters them.
“Adjustments are a must…”
As Lin Xiao thought about this, a new idea suddenly lit up his mind:
“Can I have my Priests double as transcendent sorcerers?”
Being a Priest is a profession but not a traditional one since the power of a Priest comes entirely from the Deity’s grace, which does not conflict with any other occupation, including that of a transcendent sorcerer.
Since transcendent sorcerers will not be numerous at this stage and cannot appear on a large scale, why not eventually bestow the profession only on his own Priests? That way, they could have two professions and significantly more combat power compared to Mages, making his Priests stronger and more unique.
Even the weakest extraordinary ability is remarkably potent, such as the extraordinary ability—Godspeed.
Passive attributes: Increase Speed by 50%, ignore common slowdown abilities.
Active attributes: Uses spiritual power to cast actively on an individual, increasing the target’s moving speed by 200%, Jumping Distance by 500%, slightly enhancing evasion when running, lasting for 180 seconds. During the period, cannot be slowed by any effects of the same or lower level, and higher-level slowdown effects are reduced by 50%. Has the ability to Ignore Terrain, including walking on water.
When used on a group, it increases the group’s Moving Speed by 100%, Jumping Distance by 200%, lasting for 180 seconds. During the period, Rank 6 or lower slowdown effects are significantly weakened, enhancing the ability to stay in special terrains.
This is a very powerful single and wide-range BUFF that exceeds the effects of any known medium or low-level Divine Arts.

If we can enhance the strength of several powerful BUFFs in the future, the augmentation to the army would be extremely terrifying—essentially, it could be used as a unique superpower Divine Art of my own Priest profession.
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more he believed this idea to be reliable. He then considered that his current Incarnation was competing with other seniors for that plane. If all the Clan members brought by the Incarnation transformed their jobs to Priests and also took on a side job as Transcendent Magicians, could they possibly….
While the Mage profession of the Star Spirits and the Hero profession of the Supreme Naga’s Divine Warrior are powerful, under the current circumstances, the combination of a Priest and an Extraordinary Profession is more suitable. freёweɓnovel.com
Without their Mage profession, the Star Spirits could only rely on their Talent to control energy for casting some simple spells, considerably weakening their power. However, the Supreme Naga is an extraordinary species. Even if they lose the Hero profession and become weakened, they would still be much stronger than those of an equal level.
Once they become Priests and also serve as Transcendent Magicians, their strength would recover somewhat.
Therefore….
Lin Xiao wrote a letter each to his girlfriend, Xie Yufei, and their headteacher Jin Sisi, entrusting them to send over a batch of Talent, Skill, and Specialty Cards.
With their connections and the school lifting restrictions now, he could essentially get these for free, and the quality would still be high.
Since he had already decided to make Transcendent Magician an exclusive profession for his Priests, it was time to prepare a bit. He couldn’t manage too much, but he planned to begin with a few new Extraordinary Abilities.
Two months later, Lin Xiao gazed at the shimmering glint inside the three exquisitely carved small boxes that lay open before him, lost in thought.
“Is everyone this extravagant!”
Although they are now using Six-Star Demigod cards at the university level, Five-Star Ancient Cards are still quite valuable, aren’t they? And here, several were given for free….
Still, there’s no denying that getting things for free is exhilarating, and being able to do so is a skill in itself.
He took inventory, finding a total of six Ancient Quality Cards— one Six-Star and five Five-Star.
There were sixty Gold Myth Quality Cards, with eleven being Six-Star and the rest Five-Star.
Also, there were over a hundred cards of varying quality, about one-fourth being Six-Star and all the others Five-Star, comprised of the Skill, Talent, and Specialty Cards that he needed.
After examining these cards one by one, categorizing the Talents, Skills, and Specialties, he picked out the cards that were suitable for enhancement into Extraordinary Abilities and set them aside; the rest would be fodder for disassembly.
However, he considered that with the currently limited Creation Energy, it probably wasn’t possible to enhance too many skills.
But other things aside, the Skills and Talents on these six Ancient Quality Cards were quite remarkable and could be used as base templates for enhancement.
The six Ancient Cards contained one Talent, three Class Spells, and two Skills.
The solitary Six-Star Ancient Quality Card came from Xie Yufei’s small box. It was a very powerful Talent Card, stemming from the mythological creature Medusa’s Petrification Eye Talent, which could petrify anyone under its gaze. Unlike other petrification spells, this type of petrification was irreversible. Once fully petrified, it was as if death had occurred.
There are actually two types of creatures known as Medusa. One is the Gorgon, a race known for its snake hair and petrification talent.
The other is the Medusa from mythology, a unique mythical creature that doesn’t belong to any race but becomes a terrifying entity because of a curse. Any humanoid struck by a specific dreadful curse from a deity turns into a Medusa.
It’s worth mentioning that the Medusa from the ancient Greek myths on Earth was transformed by the curse of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The Petrification Talent in Lin Xiao’s possession is of this kind, having the power to petrify even horrifying creatures like the North Sea Behemoth. It’s incredibly powerful and practically unbeatable under a True God.
Such a twisted Talent Card has already reached the limits of a Six-Star Talent Card; there isn’t much room for enhancement.
However, it couldn’t be loaded directly into the Transcendent Magician system because this Talent, while incredibly powerful, also carries a curse. It is indiscriminate—whomsoever it gazes upon, dies. He surely didn’t wish to inadvertently transform all his Clan members in the Divine Realm into stone someday.
So, this Talent doesn’t need enhancement. Instead, he needed to figure out how to control its power, transforming it into a controllable Talent.
He inserted the card into the Creation Magic Cube, pondering for a moment as the Cube slowly turned, a faint light circling the card which emitted a dense crystal light.
He decided to observe first before determining how to adjust it.
In the Creation Cube, everything about the Talent was laid bare before him. At a glance, he saw that the Talent was actually an eyeball from Medusa, forcibly extracted and then sealed. Within the strength of the seal, there lurked an extremely peculiar power—the Talent of Medusa, coupled with the curse of a deity, intertwined together.
Despite having a clear view of its inner structure, what to do about it was the question.
He couldn’t just strip away the deity’s curse because it and the power were merged as one. Although the Creation Magic Cube had the capability to separate them, in doing so, the eye’s potent petrification power from Medusa would also be lost.
