The final item Ethan examined was the sliver of *Shadow Divinity*.
> **Shadow Sequence Divinity (1 point): Material**
> This small, black, gel-like substance resembled a droplet of blood, barely the size of a grain of rice. The description was brief, but the potential applications were numerous. It could be used to craft artifacts, extract new skills, or even be consumed directly to absorb a point of shadow divinity.
With divinity in his possession, Ethan could perform divine spells and, more importantly, use it as a foundation to ascend. To become a god, one had to accumulate divinity and master the associated sequence.
Ethan's ultimate goal had always been godhood. In his past life, however, his path was blocked by the Prince of Shadows, preventing him from achieving it. This time, Ethan resolved to pursue that goal once again.
