Anthony reviewed his updated status, noting changes in Authorities and Laws. He learned his cultivation had been adapted to the new energy and discovered his spatial abilities were currently restricted. He tested his Authority of Severance, finding he could easily sever a table from existence but faced resistance when trying to affect certain individuals, leading him to settle for a less severe form of retribution before teleporting to the Heavenly Library and back.

Sitting back on his bed, Anthony turned his attention back to his system.

’It seems only the Sign-in is left,’ Anthony thought to himself as he stared at the note the system had given regarding the Sign-in feature. He wouldn’t lie, he loved it like this. As the system had said, he had won a lot of useless things before. Yes, he had won brooms, pots, and even a regular sugar ant. But now, he was guaranteed something worthwhile every month.

’System, Sign-in,’ Anthony instructed. He was looking forward to the reward. Although it was always random, he hoped for something extraordinary.

[Ding]

[Signing... in]

[The Host has obtained the Twelve-Star Rune Formation]

[Description: Rune Masters inscribe runes. Formation Masters construct formations. Even those who walk both paths are limited to empowering weapons, raising barriers, or creating localized domains.

The Twelve-Star Rune Formation is the supreme fusion of both disciplines, a legacy that transcends conventional rune arts. Its formations can seal Planets, imprison Galaxies, isolate Universes, suppress the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and command Reality through runes alone.

With the Twelve-Star Rune Formation in hand, the Host may look down upon every Rune Master, Formation Master, and Rune Formation Master throughout the Universe, for none are worthy of standing on the same path]

Anthony was dumbfounded by the reward. The more he read, the more speechless he became. He had struck the jackpot with his very first reward. It was simply maddening. Anthony didn’t hesitate. He immediately accepted the knowledge. The moment he did, his mind felt as though it was about to explode. For the first time in a long while, even his Thought Compartments weren’t enough.

Anthony remained in a daze as the system pumped information that should have taken people millions of years to acquire on their own into his mind. After a moment, Anthony simply fainted as his body collapsed onto his bed.

Hours passed before his eyes finally flickered open. The moment he awoke, the first thing Anthony thought about was the Rune Formation knowledge. The instant he did, it surged to the forefront of his mind. Anthony couldn’t help but smile.

’System, how long was I out?’ Anthony asked.

[Ding]

[8 hours, Host.]

Looking at the reply before him, Anthony was rendered speechless. Even with his Thought Compartments numbering in the millions, it had still taken eight hours. Anthony shook his head and decided not to think too much about it. His eyes phased through the roof. It was already evening, though not yet dark. His gaze shifted to the side. The servant whom The Decipherer Of The Heavens had sent seemed to have arrived a few hours ago but had remained standing patiently at the door.

Anthony decided to ignore the man for now until he was done with everything.

The system hadn’t merely given him the knowledge. Anthony could also feel the physical sensation in his fingers that could only come from drawing these runes and formations countless times over.

Anthony looked around his cottage. He could see different runes and formations. The moment his eyes landed upon them, he understood their functions and the ways to improve them. But Anthony also understood that he couldn’t do anything to these runes and formations at the moment. For one, he was simply too weak, and these runes and formations had been created for Core Elders, considering their power.

’Wait... what am I even thinking? I have infinite Origin Essence Energy and immense Soul Power, which are the two requirements for runes and formations,’ Anthony thought to himself.

Although he could immediately begin influencing these runes and formations, he didn’t bother. He simply left them as they were.

’I will buy an Inscription Pen or Brush later. That is the only thing missing,’ Anthony concluded.

His thoughts shifted back to the system. It was time to ask ??? for the reward.

’???, you haven’t said a word since my arrival in the Upper Galaxy,’ Anthony spoke within his mind.

He waited for a few seconds, but no reply came. Just as he was about to focus his attention on the Sign-in reward, the system chimed.

[??? asks if you are missing him already]

[??? says he didn’t want to say anything and simply wanted you to explore for now, and that the system was also updating, so communication wasn’t possible]

Anthony nodded his head, but he wasn’t calling out to ??? because he missed him. He needed the reward as soon as possible.

[??? says, look at you. You just got a huge reward. He says you just ascended, yet you already have the power to go against the Universe and Galaxy if you want]

Anthony smiled but didn’t fall for it. Power systems like Laws and Titles existed, Anthony didn’t dare become arrogant all of a sudden. Although he could now seal Laws, Anthony knew he wasn’t all-powerful. Those cultivators could one-shot him before he even managed to set up a formation.

[??? says that since things are already so absurd due to the courtesy of the system, why not make things even more absurd?]

??? spoke again, as though he wanted to outperform the very system he had created.

’I’m in,’ Anthony replied. Who would deny becoming even more powerful?

[??? smiles and says that for this to work, you have to give up something]

Anthony arched an eyebrow as he read this.

’What?’ he asked.

[??? says you have two rewards. He says, why not make them one?]

Anthony immediately frowned as he wondered if ??? was about to renege on a promise for the first time in twenty years.

[??? chuckles and says don’t think of him in such a light. He says you aren’t losing your second reward, but instead combining it with the greater reward to make it even more powerful. ??? says you should be familiar with the saying, "Go big or go home." He says this is that moment]

Anthony stayed silent for a moment before smiling as he spoke, ’Let’s go big then.’

[??? smirks and blesses you with an ULTIMATE ABILITY.]

[Ding]

[The Unique Ability: Quantum Manipulation has been destroyed and used to forge an Ultimate Ability]

[Congratulations to the Host. The Host has been bestowed with the Ultimate Ability: Thought Conception]

[Description: Thought is creation. Imagination is reality. Anything the Host can truly conceive can be brought into existence through sheer will alone.

Caution: The greater the conception, the greater the burden upon the mind. An insufficient mentality may result in mental collapse, loss of consciousness, or death]
