Chapter 247: Reaching level 100, Got Dream Element
Lein stared at the bottle in his hand, astonished. His mind whirled with thoughts, trying to imagine the kind of being capable of creating something with such immense power—a potion that could instantly increase someone's strength, without conditions. To him, this potion felt like a miracle from a world he did not fully understand.
"How is it possible for this item to be made? Isn't it too powerful?" he murmured in amazement, his voice nearly choked with wonder.
He read the item's description repeatedly, searching for instructions on how to use it but finding no clear prompts to "use" or "consume." After a moment's thought, he lifted the bottle, casually opened the cap, and drank it down.
The thick black liquid inside the bottle flowed slowly, touching Lein's lips and slipping into his mouth. As the cool liquid touched his tongue, a unique refreshing taste emerged, combined with a subtly sweet sensation. Amid the sips, he could feel small crystal-like granules softly bursting in his throat, sprinkling a cold sensation that was invigorating.
With a single gulp, Lein finished the contents of the bottle, leaving not a single drop behind.
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 51, Attribute points +5,000]
Immediately, a notification message from the system appeared, and a warm sensation flowed through his body, as if every cell and muscle in his body was expanding, growing stronger. Lein smiled faintly, feeling the subtle yet significant transformation.
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 52, Attribute points +5,000]
Lein stared at the holographic screen in front of him, pausing momentarily before a sudden realization hit him.
"What?!"
His mind shouted, unable to believe what he was seeing. Without any prior signs or warnings, his level suddenly shot up to Level 52. The system notifications kept coming non-stop, as if unwilling to stop surprising him with good news.
"Whoa... each level gives five thousand empty attribute points!" he murmured in awe as he watched the stream of notifications filling the screen, ringing one after another like the endless chiming of metal. Now, his level had reached 70, and he could still feel the energy continuing to surge.
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 73, Attribute points +5,000]
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 81, Attribute points +5,000]
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 85, Attribute points +5,000]
...
The higher his level climbed, the stronger the flow of power that entered his entire body, permeating his muscles and bones with a thrilling sensation. Lein felt himself transforming into something stronger, more powerful, as if the world no longer had boundaries for his ambitions. As his level surpassed 90, he began to wonder how far this enhancement would go.
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 95, Attribute points +5,000]
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 99, Attribute points +5,000]
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 100, Attribute points +5,000]
...
Finally, as the last number reached Level 100, the seemingly endless notifications gradually stopped. Lein stared at the screen, transfixed, still processing what had just occurred. Previously, he had taken pride in the speed of his level progression achieved through Tier-5 exp potions—each of those potions had granted him a hundred thousand exp in a short amount of time.
But this time? The rate of increase from the God's Promotion Potion was nothing short of a powerful explosion that propelled him upward without limits, making the exp potion seem like mere dust on the roadside.
Lein was still fixated on the screen when a new notification appeared, drawing his attention back.
"There's more?" he murmured, curious.
[Different promotion detected, please perform elemental selection.]
[Proceed with elemental selection? Yes/No]
"A different promotion?" Lein repeated in bewildered murmurs. "Is this because of using the promotion potion?"
Lein pondered for a moment, realizing that every level increase was always accompanied by a trial to earn something valuable. For instance, when he reached the Master level, he had to undergo the Soul Formation Trial to obtain his new soul, or when he was promoted to Tier-3 and had to face the Altar Formation Trial.
But this time, he received the opportunity for elemental selection. If following the logic of his previous promotions, an elemental formation trial should await him. But now, thanks to the way of the gods, he could skip all of that.
"The joy of taking the fast track…"
A soft laugh escaped his lips, filling the room with a sense of relief and happiness. Everything he had gone through up until now seemed to be proceeding smoothly, without obstacles. Reflecting on his early days, when he had hesitated to leave the island and face strangers, made him smile. Now, if he had to step into the outside world again, he felt he would neither be ashamed nor even afraid to face High-Level Masters.
"Alright, let's do the selection," said Lein in a cheerful tone. Without hesitation, he activated the panel before him, which instantly displayed a spinning selection animation.
Round and round it went, flashing colors in harmonious alignment, creating an atmosphere full of anticipation and suspense. Several seconds passed before everything stopped, revealing the awaited result.
[Congratulations, you have obtained a high-level element: (Dream Element)]
A spherical orb floated before him, within it the dark night sky, filled with brightly shining stars. The aura emitted by the orb radiated purity so pristine that it made Lein hesitate to touch it, fearing to tarnish its beauty.

"A high-level element? Incredible!" Lein exclaimed in delight, his eyes gleaming.
Amazed, he pondered the potential contained within this element. The skill he acquired this time seemed specialized in attack, possibly even the strongest attack skill in existence.
"Let's check out its skills," Lein said with excitement. With ease, he began examining the list of abilities associated with the new element he had just obtained, feeling anticipation fill him.
In his heart, he imagined all the possibilities that the Dream Element could offer, ready to master the art of controlling dreams and making it a tool to achieve his goals.
