Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1491

Sylas had asked this question for a very specific reason. Even as he listened, the gears in his head were churning. And as expected, the answer he received was about what he anticipated.

[King Serpent's Ancestral Call] was an odd reward. It was technically a Template, though not quite that. It allowed him to call on an Ancestor of the World Serpent, using its Call to unearth the potential of one Contract.

The World Serpent was a creature capable of deducing the core meanings of a world and using that as a method of strengthening and empowering itself.

The Ancestral Call was an ability of the World Serpent to call upon its Ancestors, using this gift to deduce worlds and comprehend their potential for itself.

No wonder...

It seemed this was related to how the King Serpent had become a Sacred Beast. By all rights, there should probably be very few—if any—Sacred Beasts at all in existence right now.

The Hollow Wing didn't truly count. By the little girl's definition, while it was a Sacred Beast, it wasn't a Legendary Sacred Beast. And it was also a Combat Mount. Its power was directly tied to Sylas.

A stronger Combat Mount generally just meant it could boost Sylas' stats more. Though, the Hollow Wing also had exceptionally powerful Skills as well—Skills Sylas was very much looking forward to seeing evolve once it reached the E-tier. Considering it was in the Hibernation Realm right now, it almost certainly had already. The rightful source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net

This was all to say that the World Serpent was truly worthy of being a creature of legend. Because the King Serpent had this ability awakened at birth, even if it was born with inferior talent, it was able to instantly become a Sacred Beast.

Now, Sylas had been given this chance as a one-time use.

The obvious choice was Gogo. Gogo was a Legendary Beast now, and though Sylas had unearthed a great deal of his potential, there was still more work to do.

Every breakthrough would be harder to gain now, especially since Beasts grew slower than Humanoids. The only good news was that Sylas had made Gogo an Overlord Race member, so they could just ill their way to leveling up for the most part.

However, Sylas paused at this thought.

Something was telling him he shouldn't. Relying on a Skill of a World Serpent to try and elevate a Basilisk...

No. It would work, but Gogo would never be able to reach his truest potential. However, if I use it on Nosphaleen...

Nosphaleen's lineage was that of a Gold Beast. This was a true Gold Beast, so she wouldn't be nearly as powerful as Gogo if Sylas turned the latter into a Sacred Beast while he had been a Gold Beast. However, Nosphaleen just might touch onto the faintest barriers of an A-Grade Race if Sylas did this.

In addition, Nosphaleen needed this far more than Gogo did. Nosphaleen was a Humanoid originally. There were many things in her foundation that clashed with her Mesmeryx Lineage. There was only so much Sylas could do about that on his own.

If he took this route, though...

Sylas had already made his decision. He summoned Nosphaleen, and before she could say the respectful words she had on the tip of her tongue, he activated the Skill Template.
