Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 660: [I Won’t Die Twice]

[Effect Name: I Won’t Die Twice]

[Use: When facing the killer who killed you, your cultivation will be temporarily increased to the same level as the killer.] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

[Cooldown: One Year]

[Note: Even if the host dies and revives, the cooldown for this effect will not change.]

After rubbing his eyes to check again, Ethan stared at the effect in silence.

Then, the sudden excitement exploded within him as he heartily laughed.

’With this... I don’t need to increase my cultivation at all and can still take care of my enemies with ease.’

This was the reason he was shocked.

Cultivation realm suppression was absolute in this world.

No matter how heaven-defying one’s talent was, a gap in cultivation meant a gap in power.

Even though he was able to break those rules with his special talents, skills, and bloodlines, they wouldn’t work on cultivators who had extremely high cultivation.

Also, he clearly had the ability to break through to the next realm, but for the rewards from the Heavenly Mystic Farming and other Heavenly Talents, he was not willing to break through.

Nevertheless, at times, he just wanted to break through and rapidly increase his cultivation to have an easy time against cultivators like Blackmist.

But with this effect, he could stick to his conviction of not breaking through to the higher cultivation realm.

’Within the same cultivation realm, I already have no true rivals.’ Ethan confidently muttered to himself.

With his terrifying number of Special Skills, cultivation techniques, and absurd mastery levels, even cultivators with powerful bloodlines struggled to match him.

Now, with this second effect, no matter how powerful his killer was, as long as they were the one who killed him, Ethan would be elevated to the same cultivation realm.

And once the realms were equal, they were dead.

’In short, as the effect name says, I won’t be dying a second time in the hands of a killer who already killed me once.’

Ethan chuckled.

’The only downside is the cooldown of one year.’

Generally, the cooldowns of Ethan’s Special Skills would reset every time he revived.

However, this effect explicitly ignored that loophole.

Even death couldn’t bypass it.

’But still... It’s extremely useful when the time comes.’

Ethan’s eyes gleamed with cold light.

Although he possessed Quasi-Soul Realm subordinates, he couldn’t summon them every time.

Moreover, if he wanted to establish absolute dominance within the province, relying on others was not enough.

He had to personally display overwhelming battle prowess to make them follow him.

’This effect... It seems to be made exactly for that purpose.’

Ethan clenched his fist slowly when he thought, ’With these new talents, I now have seven Heavenly Talents.’

’I only need three more to unlock another effect under the [God’s Proxy].’

Other than the terrifying power of Heavenly Talents themselves, this was the real reason Ethan was collecting them.

The system feature: [God’s Proxy].

Every effect unlocked under it brought him one step closer to becoming a god.

At least—that was what Ethan believed.

So far, he had only unlocked a single effect. It was none other than God’s Dantian.

An effect that allowed him to use God Essence.

With God Essence, he could create Godly Artifacts, upgrade cultivation techniques to the Transcendental Stage, create his own Apostles, and perform feats that were impossible for normal cultivators.

And that was only the first effect.

’What kind of effect will I unlock once I have ten Heavenly Talents...?’

Ethan’s heartbeat quickened when he thought about the effects he would be unlocking with 10 Heavenly Talents.

As that thought crossed his mind, Ethan slowly lifted his gaze and looked toward Blackmist’s corpse.

The death aura had fully stabilised, and the vitality surged violently.

’The revival is almost complete,’ a faint smile formed on Ethan’s lips as he muttered, ’Looks like you woke up just in time.’

On the ground, Blackmist slowly opened his eyes.

For a brief moment, his mind was blank.

Then, memories from before his death flooded back.

’I... killed that b*stard.’

The moment his consciousness was extinguished, the memory of his certainty that Ethan had died under his hands also returned.

’But... why is he still standing in front of me?’

His pupils abruptly shrank as he instinctively turned his head.

Ethan was standing not far away, completely unharmed, making Blackmist freeze.

’How...? Just how is he still alive?’

He stared at Ethan in disbelief.

There were no wounds or cracks, and what’s more, there was not even a trace of exhaustion.

In fact, Ethan looked better than before.

His aura was stable and full of vitality, and there was even a faint excitement flickering in his eyes.

’I am sure I killed him...’

Blackmist’s breathing grew heavy.

’Then how is he still in proper form?’

And another question struck him even harder.

’Also... how did he kill me?’

Suddenly, a realization made his heart tremble, and anger surged violently.

He was furious not only for failing to kill his target but also for getting himself killed by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

’If word gets out that I got killed by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, I will become a laughing stock and even lose my position as the Supervisor of the Eternal Shadow Guild.’

The more he thought about it, the more furious he became... especially the fact that someone like Ethan, someone who had yet to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, had managed to kill him.

That alone shattered his pride.

Cultivation realms were absolute.

Yet, the truth was right in front of him.

Blackmist clenched his fists as confusion, shock, and fury twisted together in his eyes.

Ethan, on the other hand, simply stood there calmly.

Watching and waiting, with a faint smile slowly forming on his lips.

"Do you want to kill me... again?"

Ethan asked Blackmist while maintaining his smile.

"Y-you... b*stard."

Blackmist was furious; however, unlike before, he was not rushing to kill Ethan because he was afraid.

That’s right!

He was afraid that by killing Ethan, he might kill himself again.

’Damn it... what should I do now?’

Now, Blackmist was not sure what he should do.
