52Gamma (Gamma-rank)

Before Liu E could finish speaking, Li Aoz felt his head and the area above it become blurry. He couldn't feel his nerves, and even his vision was shut down.

"Feel the gravity, child, feel your Aoneng. I will use the power of the echo to cut through your body; pay attention to the reverberation in this process."

After saying this, Li Aoz could no longer even perceive the sound.

At this moment, the world became somewhat Terror. He didn't know where his body was, or even if he existed. He couldn't feel cold or heat, or even whether he was still in the same place, or whether Liu E would take the opportunity to do something to him. The system panel on his retina couldn't detect anything either.

Despite feeling so helpless, Li Aoz was surprised to find that he felt no fear.

He waited calmly, feeling no emptiness whatsoever.

It's as if, deep down, he firmly believes in his own existence.

[Is it from Granny Atamasha that I got the effect of the Truth Drug? But that stuff doesn't have this effect.]

Li Aoz thought for a moment, then felt relieved. "No, it's simply that I've become stronger, in every sense of the word."

Having experienced so much, he is no longer the player with the mindset he had when he first arrived, nor is he in a state of fear and anxiety after realizing the reality. Instead, he is becoming more and more like a seasoned veteran from Star Abyss.

That's more like it...

Li Aoz tried his best to feel that fluctuation. In his previous life as a player, he could get there in one step, but in reality, it was different. He needed to feel and pursue it himself.

Fortunately, his Mental Power had already awakened, and he found the fluctuation without much effort.

Ding... Buzz...

Like raindrops falling on sleep, creating ripples, the continuous fluctuations constantly transmit information and energy.

Gravity is also a wave.

It is not a force— Li Aoz clearly realized this—gravity is more like a phenomenon, where the surrounding spacetime is bent and distorted by massive celestial bodies, thus exhibiting the effect of attraction.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a continuous ringing sound from gravity.

The moment Li Aoz's consciousness came into contact with that long wave, the world before his eyes suddenly brightened.

He looked up.

He was greeted by the spinning Milky Way, which emitted an ethereal friction sound.

In the vacuum of the universe, celestial bodies sing, stars like sleeping babies, humming and calling out, one after another. Signals from radio telescopes, electromagnetic waves emitted by satellites, and gamma rays bursting among the stars, while the lonely ghosts that died in space cry out and scream.

"The A88 Centaurus is returning home. How wonderful! I'll be able to see my daughter soon." — From Valkyrie Fortress

"Choose United Real Estate, and wealth is no longer a distant dream." — United Company with Narrative-level Civilization.

"Priest Constan, where did you come from, you Spirit Maggot?" — From the Temple of Annihilation of Narrative-level Civilization.

"Misha, long time no see, did you miss me? You've taken good care of the house." From the Heroes Empire of Narrative-level Civilization.

From the other side of the starry sky to the edge of the black hole, civilizations and celestial bodies murmur and sing, yet it is quite noisy.

The universe is so lively.

Li Aoz slightly distracted; he could vaguely hear a faint sound echoing at the edge of the stars:

"... I hereby solemnly swear an oath to become Frostplate President. I am determined to uphold and defend the Constitution and prevent our great motherland from being invaded by any enemy."

From the Azure Planet.

Li Aoz somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to continue listening to the information brought by the Gravity Wave, he heard a soft laugh.

"The era of the Emperor, Anpolo, has come to an end."

Li Aoz was taken aback.

"Are you kidding me...? How did that sound get here?"

His shock and confusion did not stem from the content of the sentence; in fact, he had no idea what the sentence meant. But the source of the signal was simply too shocking.

Because it... From the Star Abyss.

Echoes continuously emanated from the Star Abyss beneath the Abyss.

Before Li Aoz could ponder the implications, his body jolted, his senses returned instantly, and he sat up abruptly.

"You're awake. That's quite successful. You've successfully sensed it, haven't you..."

Hearing recovery.

Li Aoz felt the damp air on his body, and his senses returned.

He slowly propped himself up, raised his 'head', and saw the back of his head.

A silvery-gray spatial ripple, like a dark flame, constantly flickered in the void.

[Reward Settlement]: A. "Pessimistic World" - You have made your choice, and whatever the future holds, it is now destined.

You have been promoted to [Echoer]

[As you serve as a guide on the path of the Azure Planet, your profession will change to Class Path.]

Current profession: [Astral Echoer]

[Job change completed, breakthrough achieved, attribute bonuses gained.]

[Specialty [Perpetual · Love Hunter] Triggered!]

The actual gain was 16 points of [Charm].

You have advanced to the Gamma-rank (γ, the third Greek letter)

"It's over."

Li Aoz stood up. After changing his class to [Astral Echoer], he vaguely sensed some strange changes. Taking this opportunity, he quickly checked his attributes.

Name: Li Aoz

[Title]: Catastrophe, Pioneer of the Future

[Race]: Elai Ling Race, Stage I [Gender]: Biological Male

[Age]: 22 [Template]: Advanced Veteran Combat-Type NPC (+10% maximum health, +15% Damage Rate)

[Faction]: Layered Abyss - Galaxy's Eye Border - Crystal Tower Civilization (Uncertain)

[Total Level]: lv.80 — [Main Class]: [Echoer] lv.60 — [Sub-Class]: [Biochemist] lv.20; [Mage] lv.0 [HP]: 17,400/17,400 (Mimicry: 6,400)

[Mana]: 27,580/27,580 [Attributes]: Strength - 100 Dexterity - 100 Constitution - 100 Charisma - 127 (Final gain: 165.1) Intelligence - 92.4 (Final gain: 110.8)

[Talent]: [Racial Talent - Spell Aptitude]: Specialized spells gain 180% learning speed and reduce mana cost by 8% when casting spells.

Current specialization: Universal Magic

[Racial Talent: Super Sensory Thinking] You gain a four-segment Focus bar. Each time you are ambushed, you can consume one Focus bar to perform a forced dodge. (Ineffective against 'guaranteed hit' spells)

Alternatively, consume one point of Focus to perform an Intelligence check on the puzzle.

[Class Talent - Immortal Genes] (Advanced) - You are the pioneer of life, the leader of flesh and blood, and the revolutionary of species evolution. You can gain one point of the [Constitution] attribute for each biochemist-exclusive knowledge you learn.

Gamma Advanced Effect: Based on the [Charm] attribute, for every 10 points of [Charm] you have, you will gain an additional 400 points of 'Mimicry' health.

—From [Biochemist][Class Talent: Arcane Deconstruction]—Your energy is converted into ' Mana ', and for each extraordinary knowledge of your Main Class you learn, your maximum Mana and mana regeneration speed are permanently increased by 1%.

—From [Mage][Class Talent: Echo]—You have completely mastered your genetic destiny, and you are not content with that; you have taken control of your own fate.

Now, your tentacles will reach across the entire universe, with powerful gravity at your core, and you will make the stars listen to your voice.

Use your power to make the world worship you.

Because the authority resides in your mind, you cannot learn new extraordinary knowledge, but you can still understand the underlying theories.

Talent effect:

A. Celestial Decree: You may release Gravity Wave to propagate your information across interstellar space without energy decay or erroneous signals.

This allows you to communicate remotely and one-way with any known person within this Star Abyss layer.

Broadcast your thoughts and will throughout the universe. (This may incur hatred.) Issue missions, impart knowledge, and transmit your will one-way to your birth planet.

B. Space-time Ripple: The authority of gravity resides in your mind and consciousness, but this in turn allows you to come into contact with an even more powerful force— Space-time Ripple.

As the master of gravity and the echo of the universe, you will be immune to spacetime-related skills.

Any 'prediction' made about you using a quantum system will not produce any results.

You are immune to all 'foresight' effects of the [Strange] element, but you can ask someone else to predict your fortune.

You can create Space-time Ripple to perform short-range blinking and displacement.

C. The Time-Space Grid: A mysterious force has activated your ambition, and you tentatively tear open a gap in the universe—allowing you a glimpse into some historical no-man's-land.

You now have a private Arbitrary Time-Space Layer of 10*10*10 kilometers, which can store any matter. However, you should be aware that when others scan you, they will also detect the existence of the Arbitrary Time-Space Layer. Although they cannot see your internal space, it may arouse their suspicion.

D. "Echoes Never End": Continuous and endless. The echoes will last for ten thousand years.

Your attacks will have an 'Echo' effect that grants a 30% [Charisma] bonus.

Echo: Attacks with 'Echo' will continue to spread, reaching all surrounding objects, and will deal mixed magical and physical damage.

[Path of the Class Talent: Astral Rhythm]:

"You are the guide of the stars, the listener of the song of the universe, and those who follow you will surely be bathed in the same starlight as you."

You will receive attribute bonuses when you guide more people to join the path of the Echoers.

Azure Planet: For every 100,000 increase in the number of [Echoers], you gain 1 point of random attribute value.

—From [Astral Echoer] [Specialty]: [Extraordinary Physique]—As Gamma Rank powerhouse, you are both a cornerstone of Cosmic Civilization and a commoner. Even so, from your cells to your entire body, your physique surpasses that of Primitive Man. Their weak attacks will only have 80% effectiveness against you (including physical armor penetration, spell penetration, and True Damage). However, when you attack or apply attribute checks to targets lower than your own rank, it will be considered 300% effective. (Gamma-rank) [Owned Skills]: NEW* [Echo Blade]—The Echo Power tears ripples through spacetime, unleashing powerful energy. You can use this opportunity to create an all-powerful photon blade on the back of your hand.

The Echo Blade can change shape to achieve effects such as unlocking locks, assassination, and hacking networks.

NEW*[Echoing Fountain] - You can see various randomly distributed Space-time Ripple in the universe. By contacting them, you can restore your health and Mana.

UP* [Dictator Form] - You have completely mastered the genes within your body, and the Overlord Form has been upgraded accordingly.

Whether it's body or soul, now, only you have the final say.

The Dictator Form will integrate all Aoneng and gain an additional 50% spell saving effect.

In Dictator Form, you lose 1.11% of your health per second, but gain 80% bonus health and 40% movement speed.

In Dictator Form, upon judgment, you will gain 50 temporary adaptive attribute points (which may be converted into [Constitution], [Dexterity], or [Intelligence] depending on the situation).

[Class]: Gamma-rank

"So this is the Class Path... Compared to the regular [Echo], it has one more talent, and the level-up bonus has also been increased to 10 points of [Charm]."

Most importantly, this new Daoist talent is terrifying.

For every 100,000 additional [Echoers] on Azure Planet, a random attribute value will increase by 1 point.

The number of players in the "Dominator" category on Azure Planet was 3.4 million, according to statistics from the forums of the previous life, which is considered low.

But this time it's different. Li Aoz's personal marketing will at least double that number.

In other words, players not only have to spend money to change their class with him, but they also have to add 68 attribute points to him.

"I refuse to believe that none of those 68 attribute points are in [Charm]."

Moreover, this isn't just limited to players from Azure Planet.

Li Aoz remembered clearly that next to Valkyrie Fortress, there was another player's starting planet. That server had quite a few people, although it couldn't compare to Azure Planet, it still had more than 100 million registered accounts.

"If I went to every Newbie Planet..."

Over time, he will probably gain at least 400 random attribute points.

"Tsk, no wonder the NPCs' Path Sovereign are all so powerful, their attributes are miles ahead of the players."

I have some things to do tomorrow, so I'll leave some drafts on hand.
