--- Chapter 214 ---

Two days later. 

Burning Flame Valley. 

Baek Ain stayed at the residence near the Inner Fire Veins and meditated on a cold mat for maximum comfort. One could see a flickering red light encircling his head, appearing and disappearing like a firefly. 

The flickering red light suddenly disappeared, followed by Baek Ain's heavy sigh shortly after. 

[Ding! You have failed to transform [Fire Breathe(SS+)] into a star]

[Ding! You have lost [Fire Breathe(SS+)] permanently] 

A wry smile plastered Baek Ain's handsome face as this was the thirteenth time he lost skills today. The Constellation Nurturing Method is harder than he thought. 

Of course, Baek Ain also has some success here and there.

Baek Ain has successfully transformed six skills into stars. At first, he thought he couldn't use these skills anymore, but contrary to his belief, they became much more powerful and easier to use. 

He called it Crowned Skill. 

For example, he synthesized a new skill called [Heretic's Ways(SSS)] and transformed it into a star. In its base form, [Heretic's Ways(SSS)] allows Baek Ain to turn negative emotions into an overall power boost of 200% for a limited period.

And Crowned [Heretic's Ways(SSS) boosted Baek Ain's strength by 400% for a 'longer' period. 

But there is also a drawback, such as increased energy consumption and longer cooldown time. Even then, Baek Ain found the slight drawback pardonable.

There is no such thing as perfect skills. 

Even Godly skills have weaknesses in one way or another. 

Baek Ain laid down on the cold mat and murmured, "Besides Heretic's Ways, I also have transformed five other skills."

"They are Super Life Drain(SS+), Bloodlust Manifestation(SSS), Demon King's Aura(SSS), Evil Body of Resistance(SSS), and newly synthesized Nether Weapon's Creation(SSS)."

"I need one more Crowned Skill to form a Low-Tier Constellation I had in mind. If possible, I also want to use a Cultivation Technique to fully synergy all these skills into one..." 

[Maybe a movement-type skill would help?] Alicia gave him a suggestion. 

Baek Ain stared at the ceiling, "That works too." 

"Let's see..." 

"Alicia, synthesize Wandering Ghost Steps, Body Exchange, and Soul-Striking Maneuver I got from the Hall of Souls' Protectors."

[Okay]

[Synthesizing Wandering Ghost Steps(S), Body Exchange(S), and Soul-Striking Maneuver(S+) into a new skill]

[Ding! You have obtained Active Skill: Soul-Devouring Reaper Step(SS+)]

Baek Ain blinked his eyes and received the introduction of Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps. Although this new active skill's name is quite mouthful, the effect is as the name suggests. 

Upon activation, Baek Ain's speed would explode to extremes and create several tangible clones, which he could exchange with himself freely. On top of that, Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps also inflicted mental damage because the severity of extreme movement sabotaged one's senses. 

If Spatial Jump(SSS) won because of the varied range it could achieve, then Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps is the king of close-ranged combats with its application. 

"Constellation Nurturing Method." Baek Ain closed his eyes and visualized Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps as a shadowy star. As he immersed himself in the skill, the shadowy star gradually turned into a real star within his well-being.

BOOM!

A small explosion occurred inside Baek Ain, and his hazel-gold eyes opened wide. 

[Ding! You have successfully transformed [Soul-Devouring Reaper Step(SS+)] skill into a star] 

[Congratulations on initiating your seventh Crowned Skill!] 

Baek Ain felt a cooling sensation in his lower limbs and felt the Soul-Devouring Reaper Steps become much more familiar. 

"Alicia, do you think I can draw a Constellation now?" Baek Ain wanted to strike the iron while it was hot. 

[You can try] Alicia replied positively. 

"Well..." Baek Ain breathed in and used Parallel Thinking to understand more about the Constellation Nurturing Method. 

At the same time, seven dim stars hovered inside Baek Ain's soul and moved randomly. Baek Ain slowly controlled the stars with his mental power and arranged them in a mask-like pattern. 

One might think arranging stars is easy, but the cost of mental power alone is heavy. Baek Ain felt his mental power could collapse when moving one star.

And if his mental power collapses, Baek Ain could turn into a vegetable for a day or two. That's a big no-no for him.

Still, Baek Ain was bound to be disappointed soon.

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Korgo Constellation]

[Please draw a brand-new Constellation!]

"FUCK!" Baek Ain shouted in annoyance. 

"Although there are limited Constellations in the night sky, Alicia. So how did I draw an existing Constellation?"

[Well, there are many night skies...] 

"You got to be trolling..." 

[Uugh]

[I'm not]

[I already said the Constellation Nurturing Method is challenging, but you didn't listen]

Baek Ain gritted his teeth, "Fine." 

"Let's see how many of them I could discover." 

He persistently arranged his Crowned Skills again and tried to draw a brand-new Constellation.

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Luan Bu Constellation]

"Again!"

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Gramxuz Constellation]

"AGAIN!" 

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Evilzye Constellation]

"I won't give up so easily..." 

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Sotheby Constellation]

"Damn it." 

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Tanah Constellation]

"One more time..." 

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Java Kin Constellation]

"Haha." 

[Ding! You have drawn an existing Constellation, Sky Net Constellation]

"Hahaha~!"

[Ding! You have drawn]

[Ding! You have drawn]

[Ding! You have drawn]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[...]

[...]

[...]

Unknowingly, Baek Ain has arranged his Crowned Skills for an entire day and exercised his soul rapidly. His 1st Transitioned Soul is slowly reaching the 2nd Transition Realm. 

Baek Ain expended the last bit of his mental power, and a pleasant notification finally echoed in his head. 

[Ding! Congratulations, you have drawn a brand-new Constellations]

[Please give it a name]

Baek Ain punched the air and shouted, "Fuck.... YEAAAAAAHHHH!" 

Baek Ain's mind has run through millions, if not billions, of Constellations' patterns based on seven stars. 

And one finally hit the mark after so long. 

He looked down at his soul and saw a Constellation with a zig-zag pattern with a straight line in the middle. 

"Hidden Star." 

[Ding! An existing Constellation has registered with 'Hidden Star' name]

[Please name the brand-new Constellation with an unregistered name]

"..." Baek Ain's mouth twitched crazily. He was on the verge of ripping these system panels apart. 

"Demon's Hand." 

[Ding! An existing Constellation has registered with 'Demon's Hand' name]

[Please name the brand-new Constellation with an unregistered name]

"Fuck you!" 

[Ding! Do you want to use 'Fuck you!' as the name for the brand-new Constellation?]

"I..." 

"Haa..." 

Baek Ain leaned against a wooden pillar and sighed while staring at the white moon in the night sky. His anger and annoyance calmed down quickly, and inner peace washed over him. 

[Host...]

"Ssshh." 

"Don't talk." 

"I'm in dire need of silence right now." 

[...]

After an hour or so, Baek Ain finally moved and opened his mouth. 

[Ding! Do you want to use 'Fuck you!' as the name for the brand-new Constellation?]

"No." 

[Please give the brand-new Constellation a new name]

"Roulan." 

[Ding! Do you want to use 'Roulan' as the name for the brand-new Constellation?]

"Yes." 

[Ding! The brand-new Constellation has been registered]

The name he used earlier is his first wife's name. 

Baek Ain moved his finger casually and brushed it against the system panel. He wanted to check Roulan Constellation's information now.

[Name: Roulan]

[Type: Unspecialized Constellation]

[Grade: Low-Tier 1]

[Description: Roulan Constellation was born from seven governing stars with the majority of them being Yin/Darkness-oriented. Upon activation, Roulan Constellation will enhance its stars' effect by 100% and deter all Yin/Darkness elements in a 1-kilometer radius]

[1st Order: Demon Emperor's Summon]

[2nd Order: Bloody Mary's Rose Field]

Baek Ain smiled a little, "Good." 

"Everything I've suffered is worth it." 

"Should I continue to the second Constellation?" 

"No, let's rest for now." He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Far, far away from the Battle Through the Heaven World, Roulan Constellation shone brightly in the night sky and gained attention from several entities.
