Dam this is getting really boring to read. It’s so obvious what’s going to happen that it’s hard to maintain interest at this stage. I might have to take a break and wait for this arc to be over as it’s definitely my least favourite by far, zero tension, zero stakes as the outcome is already too obvious.

Rui is 100% going to find a cure

If it’s not Rui then the author would need to pull someone out of thin air. It would also leave a lot of plot threads open, such as, why has Rui being spied on since birth, and who gave him his name.

The nurse was calling him Rui before he was adopted. Who named him isn’t clear, at this stage, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his story is similar to Rajak.

yeah it’s suspicious that all the candidates are bad. It’s definitely being setup for some sort of twist.

Alternatively, the Lucius Volstand that Gregorio knew was just a clone of the God and an attempt to try and solve the abomination issue. But he obviously failed and has pretty much given up.

I know it won’t happen, but it would be funny if Shang gets punted by the god as soon as he ascends

Author has done a great job at attempting to finish off where it was left off! A huge amount of effort has gone into this and it really does feel like a realistic continuation, which is honestly super impressive, considering the standard of this novel and world building involved is extremely dense. I look forward to the authors future works, they definitely seem to have a lot of potential.

Let the show commence!

I really like this direction! Thanks for the chapter

After the fights that he’s had with abominations and the realisation that they have bodies 2 levels higher than beasts. I think the future solution will be Shang figuring out how to form abominations from that black energy core which he is also made of. Once he figures out how to manipulate this energy he’ll probably use that to solve his problems which will also turn him further into an abomination, but will also raise his physical power yet again. I imagine that he’ll become more and more abomination over time but will an elevated mind which he predicated to be a superior form of being. There will definitely need to be another big power up either in his King or Emperor stage to prepare for his fight with God and I think him becoming more or either full abomination will be part of that transformation.

Yeah, I don’ see how that would work, as remember the ranks are constantly shifting around they aren’ static. So if you were rank 6 then jumped to rank 3 but rank 3 already had their turn then you would miss out if it gets passed down. It was never made perfectly clear who gets to use it 2nd. But if Kevin got to use it after just 1 month it didn’t really make sense for him to get so upset for missing out.

yeah the recharging effect was only 1 month though and it’s been well over a month since he last used it, based on all the time skips etc

Is Asher still using the crown? Looking forward to him popping off soon

Is the cool-down for that mana crown reward he got finished? Really enjoying the pacing of Asher’s progression, keen to see if he can make some serious progress on his next use after his big increase in intelligence.

Looking at his stats at level 100 and now it seems like the extra 700 agility stats gained from transcendental dexterity didn’t get added as an fyi
