grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Month of Preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, things naturally remained closer to their original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Objects lasted longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seals became stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that during the months of Preservation and Cold, time itself barely counted toward aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash slash slash slash slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several beams of light shot across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive and intricate magic formation was carved into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz’s knowledge of ritual magic was said to be extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also skilled at constructing all kinds of magical arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei actually wanted to learn ritual formations too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that was a skill only Level 4 mages and above could master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 3 mages simply couldn’t learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carved grooves on the ground quickly filled with various materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei recognized them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were incredibly expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least 20,000 gold coins worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were being used for a single-use advancement ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumironi stood some distance away from the formation, frowning slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never personally presided over a Death Priest advancement ritual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rei, you must follow your inner guidance and demonstrate your understanding of the Principle of Death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic circle ignited with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifyingly dense aura of death descended from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei felt it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very simple emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei didn’t need to perform any special act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only needed to show—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many souls he could offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many valuable souls he could provide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the principle of a priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the more important word was Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei raised his hand toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless soul-lights erupted upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could only watch as an endless sea of souls ascended into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akase’s mouth fell open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew Rei had farmed many souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that their quality was extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing them directly like this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a completely different experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number continued climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of billions of souls floated toward the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices merged into something almost tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were praising their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were praising Kanzaki Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Kumironi stood frozen in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course she had seen Death Priests before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen them use vengeful spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those souls were always miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heartbreaking to witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never once had she felt something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These souls were pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation they brought felt like salvation, not slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by seeing them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could already tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei, as a Death Priest, could never commit evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way such a number of souls came from murdering babies or innocent civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There simply weren’t that many people for him to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he had done so—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have caused worldwide headlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Death Priest could obtain such pure souls just by killing ants—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he ever need to harm humans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final stone in Kumironi’s heart finally fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her last lingering worry about Rei advancing as a Death Priest disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sacrificing a total of five billion souls—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That... should be enough, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the sacrifice ceased—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world fell completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming feedback suddenly exploded from Rei’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Spirituality surged wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Priest Level 2 — Achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>",2479,"2026-05-29T04:56:27.792Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"novelbin.me","944647f489a7c48567bce4397bca91e77fb0f7e8f6588c62f8706776b02083f5","i-gain-a-god-tier-talent-every-level-chapter-140","i-gain-a-god-tier-talent-every-level-chapter-138",490,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-gain-a-god-tier-talent-every-level-cover.jpg"]
