What If I Can't Die?-Novel

160 Ragnarok

“It’s good that my identity was leaked.”

Thank you readers!

Song Shi was secretly delighted. Others were afraid that they would be targeted if they revealed it, but he wanted to reveal his identity so he can get ambushed faster.

Seeing Song Shi smiling, Lu Youyou was furious. She snorted and turned to Shi Tianya, “Are you going to make a move?”

Shi Tianya said awkwardly, “I’m afraid we are no able to beat him up.”

“Forget it, I don’t need you to do anything for me anymore. I’ll defeat him myself sooner or later!”

Lu Youyou snorted in anger and left, running back to her cave to continue cultivating.

Shi Tianya frowned and stared at Song Shi a few more times. In the end, he did not make a move.

He would not do anything that he was not confident in. If he could not defeat this person, he would just lose his face.

“This girl is finally cultivating seriously.”

In the room at the top of the ship, Lu Jiu and Perfected Lord Ghost Butcher did not go out. Instead, they sat and drank tea. However, they were very clear about what was happening outside.

“Blood-Robed old ghost is still too arrogant. He just entered the sect but had already killed someone from the Sky Demon Cult. Does he really think we won’t know?”

Ghost Butcher’s expression was indifferent.

“He didn’t do anything wrong in this matter. That profligate son had a death wish. He was killed because his skills were inferior. He can’t blame anyone else. I don’t think they would dare to confess this openly.”

Lu Jiu shook his head. “However, if the old ghost’s situation is leaked, it’s impossible for Sky Demon Cult to remain indifferent. Other enemies will also come for him. Let’s see if he can block the incoming assassins. If he can survive, he will be someone useful to our sect.”

“The old ghost is already in the Core Formation stage. He’s not much different from when he was at his peak. However, he’s no longer the same as before. Many of his enemies have already broken through. Hehe, let’s just watch how he deal with them.”

“Let’s not talk about him anymore. Now that we’ve moved over and have also discussed the matter of truce with the fellows from Great Qian, we should go and fight for our share of resources and opportunities that may be present in the immortal cave abode.”

Lu Jiu stood up and began to plan for his next actions.

The battle between Song Shi and Fang Gang had suppressed most of the people’s doubts about the new elder as well as solidified his position.

Under the respectful gazes of many people, Song Shi calmly returned to the ship. Immediately, many disciples and elders came over to congratulate him. There were also many people who gave him gifts.

Song Shi did not stand on ceremony and did not reject anyone. Through them, he was able to refill his supply of resources Finally, the resources he had expended because of his breakthrough had been replenished.

After dealing with all the congratulations, Song Shi had completely integrated into the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

He brought Bai Xiaoqin back to the room. Not long after, Old Man Nightmare came over.

He told Song Shi something. “The Blood-robed Elder broke through in time. In three days, the various large factions will form parties to explore the ancient cultivator’s cave abode. Please make preparations.”

Song Shi was deep in thought.

“The righteous Dao cultivation path, the Demonic path, and the officials of Great Qian are all planning to form exploration parties. This is the result of the compromise between all parties. It’s also to work together to break the restrictions of the cave abode. After all, the Taboo Powers left behind by the Soul Transformation cultivators are too strong.”

Old Man Nightmare explained.

“Was he that strong?”

When Song Shi heard that the major factions were about to attack, he speculated, “There are probably dozens of Nascent Souls this time, right?”

“Yes, he was very strong. We suspect that this cave abode is connected to the ruins of an ancient sect. The exact situation depends on the situation.”

At this point, Old Man Nightmare stopped tactfully. “Blood-robed elder, prepare well. I still have something on, so I won’t disturb you.”

After Song Shi sent him away, he opened the system.

There were already a few notifications.

“The carrier has undergone a major change. System upgrade successful!”

A similar scene had happened when he was at the Foundation Establishment realm. Song Shi was not surprised and only checked the changes after leveling up.

“Ding! Since the host is already familiar with the operating method of the system and has a higher level of control over your own situation, you are now in proficient mode. The Statistics of your personal attributes panel has been removed and changed to star mode.”

Song Shi checked the new attributes panel. The attributes of his personal attributes panel had really changed. The various stats were based on the average of cultivators of the same level and he was now given a ranking based on stars.

One star meant that he was the same as the average cultivators of the same level. If it reached nine stars, it meant that his attributes were nine times that of the same level.

“The basic reward method after death has been updated. It can only be effective if the target is Star-ranked or above. The upper limit has been increased to the level of the target.”

When Song Shi heard this, he did not think too much about it, most of the people who could kill him had to be stronger than him anyways. If they are the same level or lower, it would be very difficult for him to be killed with his foundation.

“A portion of the lottery draws have been updated. The cultivation technique and divine art have also been upgraded to star-grade. Only by cultivating the star-grade cultivation technique and divine art to perfection can you obtain a lottery draw chance!”

“Your ability panel only displays cultivation techniques, divine arts and other skills above the Star-Grade!”

The system had changed quite a bit. Song Shi could not help but open the interface to check.

…

Overall Evaluation: 4 stars

…

“My comprehensive evaluation is 4 stars. Does that mean my current combat strength is comparable to the Exceptional Gold Core Realm?”

Song Shi focused on the comprehensive evaluation. One star meant he was the same as the average of the same level. One star higher meant that his strength was twice as strong. Now, he was four times stronger than his peers.

Under normal circumstances, one extra star was at least equivalent to the strength of a small realm. Now, he should at least be comparable to the Exceptional Gold Core Realm.

“It’s becoming more and more vague now that it’s changed to a star-grade. I reckon the rankings will be canceled in the future.”

Song Shi guessed. But as he was getting more and more familiar with his situation, he did not need the system’s data to know his level anymore.

The current system interface was no longer of much use to him. Instead, the lucky draw part was more interesting to him.

At this moment, the lottery wheel was still there. He opened it.

After drawing the last item in the previous round, the lottery wheel had all been refreshed. There were six known items on it.

Spirit Command Talisman: Mid-grade Spirit Talisman. It can control anything with a soul below the level of Soul Transformation.

Ancient Puppet Fighter: Special Puppet. Combat strength is comparable to that of a Martial Emperor.

Ragnorak (Low-level): A special rule-type Skill. for being immune to control of those below the Nomological Realm. It can also burn one’s essence, energy, and spirit. When used, combat strength will double. Its cool-down is 2 hours.

Teleportation Talisman: Special Spirit Talisman. It can randomly teleport user to a hundred miles away.

Pure Yang Scripture: Yang Stats Immortal Cultivation Technique. Can be cultivated to the True Immortal Realm. Its power is explosive and powerful.

Treasure Refining Manual: A cultivation manual for refining weapons. Cultivators can become a grandmaster of refining weapons.

While browsing through the six known items, Song Shi took another look at the Ragnorak Skill.

This was purely a matter of skill, one that far surpassed the scope of a cultivator’s strength.

“I must get that.”

He decided to draw four times in a row to prepare for the operation that was in three days time.

“Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the Twilight of the Gods Skill.”

Ding… congratulations on obtaining the Spirit Command Talisman.

‘Ding… Congratulations on obtaining Treasure Refining Manual.

‘Ding… Congratulations on drawing Sealing Technique.

He had drawn four, and three of them were actually known, especially the Ragnorak. This kind of rule-based Skill could be considered what he needed the most now, and it could be said to be the most powerful skill amongst the skills he possesses.

“Although I can only use it once every two hours, I won’t be tortured like last time with this.”

Song Shi relaxed. He basically had no flaws now.

He had the Thousand Transformations Disguise Technique and the Clone Technique. After he died, he had a backup resurrection point. Even if he was subjected to a Crowd Control skill, he had Ragnorak to fall back on now.

For the time being, he basically did not need to worry about anything.
