However, what Gu Hang was looking at right now was not these signs.
Through his Spiritual Vision, he could see the most central thing, still caught between the True Realm and the real world.
It was the divine core of the Primal Fury Owl, or rather, its True Realm essence. In his spiritual field of view, it looked like a glowing sphere.
The so-called 'choice' before him was, plainly speaking, whether or not Gu Hang should fuse with this entity.
If he fused, he would be embracing Hell's Abyss, and Hell's Abyss would accept him. Consequently, he could naturally replace the Primal Fury Owl, become the Storm God, and transform into that... the Inferior Deity among the Inferior Deities.
He indeed chose to refuse, but this thing was caught in the veil of reality and couldn't escape for the moment.
After [Iron Will] had blocked the disturbance of the soul's shrieks, Gu Hang could faintly feel that this god domain, now ownerless, was gradually beginning to collapse. Without a master, it could no longer sustain itself, and this god domain would shatter into the most common form of chaos in Hell's Abyss in the next few days.
At the same time, it was also beginning to reject him, pushing away all beings not native to the True Realm.
But the feeling of rejection was not yet strong, and Gu Hang still had time to do some things.
His Spiritual Energy reached out toward that True Realm essence.
Don't get it wrong, Gu Hang of course wasn't trying to fuse with it. He just felt that it was definitely a good thing, including the collapsing god domain. It was all good stuff.
It would be a real pity to let it go to waste.
Not to fuse, or to give up?
Gu Hang wanted it all.
He was thinking about methods other than fusion to take control of it.
As the Spiritual Energy probed, he discovered it wasn't strong enough.
He couldn't control it.
The remaining power of that entity wasn't much, but its status was high. Even though caught passively in the reality veil, all of Gu Hang's attempts at using Spiritual Energy to 'drill' into it were blocked.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Hang did something else.
He reopened the [Hero] interface and selected himself. Explore more adventures at empire
He had wanted to level up to seven earlier but lacked the grace points. However, now, having received the fifteen thousand grace points as event rewards, that was certainly more than enough.
He directly chose to upgrade.
Ten thousand grace points vanished and were replaced with the familiar upgrade options.
The same five options appeared before him.
This time, he was of course going to choose Spirituality again. Gu Hang had already invested a lot in this direction and had reaped a lot. If nothing went wrong, he would of course continue firmly down this path, taking it to the extreme.
If nothing went wrong, the upgrade might result in an attribute increase; drawing another Spiritual Talent might lead to another boost in spiritual attributes. He wasn't asking for much, just hoping for another two points increase in spirituality. With that, Gu Hang's currently controllable power would leap forward significantly, and he might be able to try to grasp that divine origin.
However, things did not go unexpectedly... unexpectedly.
Just like every previous upgrade, he would subconsciously click on the [Unique] option that had always been locked. He clicked it this time too.
Normally, a prompt saying [Unique sequence upgrade path not unlocked, upgrade failed.] should pop up, letting him choose again.
But this time, it was different.
[Unique sequence upgrade path has been unlocked, upgrade successful.]
