Chapter 83: Jujutsu Kaisen Begins (3k, asking for subscriptions for today's 10k words)

Bai Cangshu walked straight past the two white lions and entered the Goddess Residence.

The enormous silver-haired, red-eyed goddess was still floating in mid-air, half-reclining; as her skirt fluttered, it covered her private parts just perfectly.

"Tsk, it's you again, you impolite little thing. You haven't died yet?"

The goddess clearly possessed some form of intelligence; not only did she remember Bai Cangshu, but she also displayed a clear attitude of disgust.

【Please select the function you wish to choose】

【a. Upgrade Reincarnator Authority】

【b. Ability advancement, ability removal related】

【c. Bloodline advancement, bloodline removal related】

【d. Sequence advancement, sequence removal related】

【e. Talent advancement, anchoring related】

【f. Insufficient Authority】

This time, Bai Cangshu saw a new option.

"e."

The goddess lowered her head to look at Bai Cangshu again, then descended from the air. As her ruby-like eyes turned, Bai Cangshu felt an invisible force brush over his entire body in an instant, like a gentle breeze.

"A talent that has never appeared before; I didn't expect you to be quite valuable."

Bai Cangshu's current talent, after being anchored by the space, simultaneously displayed two possibilities, but the degree of fit was not high enough for either.

【Talent: Native Gene Lock: Second Order (Similarity 75%) (a+) — The shackles of evolution broken amidst death and despair, the power to transcend the limits of life;

Absolute Domain: Ultimate Power (Similarity 72%) (a) — The ultimate power that transcends humanity;】

"Your situation accounts for about 0.34% in the space. The space has never recorded a related talent. You can choose to spend a certain price, and I will fuse your talent into the existing system."

"Whether it is 【Native Gene Lock】 or 【Ultimate Power】, both can be considered talents with considerable potential. In this way, you can continue to perform talent advancement, unlock higher-level gene locks, or awaken the power of the Great Universe."

The goddess lowered her head, her massive face less than a meter away from Bai Cangshu. Her perfect features were flawless; one could not even see her pores.

But precisely because of this, it instead gave rise to the uncanny valley effect, preventing Bai Cangshu from being attracted to her.

"Or, Goddess, I should have other choices, right?"

The goddess saw through the arrogance in the heart of this tiny Reincarnator beneath her at a glance.

That sense of self-importance was practically written on his face; he felt he was special and did not want to be anchored by anything existing.

It seemed that every Reincarnator with this kind of talent was this type, firmly believing they were destined by Heaven, yet very few actually lived to see those talents bloom and bear fruit.

Tsk.

"You can naturally choose to give up the fusion and let the talent awaken naturally, eventually revealing its true form, provided that..."

"I live until then, I know."

Bai Cangshu nodded with a smile. The logic he was thinking about was actually not so-called arrogance or self-importance.

It was purely a logic of value; his talent could simultaneously possess the characteristics of two powerful abilities, which to a certain extent, must possess value exceeding that of a single ability.

To spend extra costs now to have this goddess fuse his talent into one of them, just to be able to spend Singularities to upgrade the talent as quickly as possible—no matter how he thought about it, that was a huge waste of resources.

And what was being wasted were all irreversible, high-level resources.

He did not explain, but the goddess could see through Bai Cangshu's thinking, and she descended a little further from the air.

"Goddess, can this Cursed Seal of mine be upgraded?"

Bai Cangshu raised his left hand to display 【Secret Rite: Strike of the Inari God】. This thing was actually Bai Cangshu's strongest burst at the moment.

But Bai Cangshu could not grasp whether this thing counted as 【Equipment】 or 【Ability】.

The goddess only took one look before shifting her gaze away.

【Secret Rite: Strike of the Inari God, reinforcement requires 1 C-rank Singularity, recharging requires 1 D-rank Singularity】

Bai Cangshu thought for a moment; he currently had 1 B-rank Singularity, 2 C-rank Singularities, and 1 D-rank Singularity left in his hand.

Considering he would be upgrading 【Ripple Qigong】 later, he did not reinforce the Cursed Seal, but only spent 1 D-rank Singularity to recharge it.

This was also the convenience of being a Reincarnator; the so-called incense wishes and faith could all be resolved directly here with the goddess through Singularities.

The power that most Plot Characters needed years to accumulate was, for a Reincarnator, merely a resource exchange.

As long as they were used properly, Reincarnators were a group of bloodthirsty wolves who "nurtured war through war."

Bai Cangshu then split one C-rank Singularity into 3 D-rank Singularities.

【Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability: Ripple Qigong lv4 has been upgraded, currently: Ripple Qigong lv5】

【Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability: Ripple Qigong lv5 has been upgraded, currently: Ripple Qigong lv6】

【Energy increased by 1 point, currently: 5 (3+2)】

Subsequently, under the goddess's eager gaze, Bai Cangshu offered up the C-rank Singularity, pushing Ripple Qigong to the height of lv7.

【Under the Goddess's blessing, Ability: Ripple Qigong lv6 has been upgraded, currently: Ripple Qigong lv7】

【Energy +1, currently: 6 (4+2)】

【Constitution +1, currently: 17 (15+2)】 【Ripple Qigong (c+) has broken through to lv7, please choose a Deepening direction】

【a: Ripple Enhancement, when active, additionally increases Strength, Agility, and Constitution by 2 points (this effect cannot trigger Extreme Value)】

【b: Crimson Ripple Overdrive, run Crimson Ripple, can make the Ripple generate high heat, attacks carry a high-temperature effect】

【c: Immortal Ripple Overdrive, Ripple possesses the effect of penetrating walls and masonry】

【d: Cyan Ripple Overdrive, run Cyan Ripple, can propagate through liquids】

【e: Silver Ripple Overdrive, run Silver Ripple, possesses the effect of being transmitted through metal】

【f: Ripple Surge, Ripple intensity additionally increased, Energy +1 (Rare)】

When each ability was upgraded to lv7, it was already equivalent to entering a fairly profound stage, and the improvements gained were also quite powerful; however, for Bai Cangshu, he was not considering the many mind-game scenarios seen in JoJo.

His combat style leans more toward using bursts of speed and power to destroy opponents head-on, so after thinking for an Instant about option a and option f, he chose f.

The reason is that while the attribute value increase from option a is high, it cannot trigger an Extreme Value effect; in essence, it is similar to the effect when he activates his talent, still an enhancement of his own attributes, but not a qualitative change.

However, the increase in energy and Ripple intensity is something that cannot be temporarily replaced by other paths.

!

After confirming the option, as Bai Cangshu's breathing shifted, he could almost feel the Ripple within his body so saturated it was about to overflow.

The rapidly increased energy attribute meant that not only did the intensity of the Ripple Bai Cangshu could release increase, but the healing ability Ripple Qigong provided to his own body also improved significantly.

As long as he does not suffer massive damage like a severed limb that prevents Ripple Qigong from being used, Bai Cangshu has effectively gained very powerful "combat endurance."

Consequently, Bai Cangshu only has 1 B-rank and 1 D-rank Singularity left; considering the materials needed for 【Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Homology】, there is a considerable probability they appear in various Derivative Worlds with Japan as the background.

He kept this B-rank Singularity as a backup, which would allow him to temporarily transform himself into something similar to Muzan with the help of 【Curse Blood Homology】 at certain special moments to gamble for Survival.

"Reincarnator carrying sin, aren't you going to upgrade your Reincarnator star level?"

"Sometimes, those things you think are completely useless can have a huge impact..."

The Goddess needs Singularities, there is no doubt about that, but Bai Cangshu cannot tell if she is hinting at something.

But Bai Cangshu will not use up the B-rank Singularity because of this "riddler"-like hint; he waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Next time, Goddess."

——

【Please return to the Private Space immediately, mission deployment is about to begin】

Not long after Bai Cangshu came out of the Goddess Residence, he saw the familiar prompt; with a thought, he had already returned to his Private Space, quietly waiting for deployment.

At the same time, in a certain huge Private Space, a man draped in green robes also picked up the 【Black Blade Night】 beside his chair; he looked at the clock floating in the air and muttered to himself,

"Is it too late? What a lucky newcomer."

【3...】

【2...】

【1...】

【Deployment starting...】

Countless information streams pierced through Bai Cangshu in an instant; Bai Cangshu has already begun to get used to this feeling, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Thump, thump, thump...

It is unknown how much time passed, but a thunderous heartbeat woke Bai Cangshu; Bai Cangshu blinked, and the appearance of the world entered his field of vision a beat slower.

A pitch-black plaza, dilapidated high-rises, walls covered in moss and bloodstains, and crooked neon signs flickering occasionally, making the atmosphere even more eerie.

A woman stood in a corner about fifty meters away from Bai Cangshu, her face pale; that intense heartbeat was exceptionally harsh in this quiet space.

She also saw Bai Cangshu wake up and mouthed words at him, but unfortunately, the Reincarnator's constant general language proficiency does not include the ability of lip-reading.

The next moment.

Bang!

The wall behind the woman and the woman's body exploded together; a huge cyan arm reached out from the darkness, and that arm was covered in human faces—some weeping, some laughing—and every face was looking carefully at the space in the darkness at this moment.

"It's quiet, it's so good that it's quiet, hehe..."

"Yeah, that heartbeat is so noisy, so noisy!"

The human faces on the arm spoke to each other.

Bai Cangshu stood in the shadows, watching this scene with an expressionless face.

He is very clear that the space will not arrange a "first-encounter kill" when a Reincarnator has just entered a world, so as long as he does not do anything extreme right now, he is safe for a short time.

Blood flowed on the ground, and Bai Cangshu looked down to see a row of text appear.

【World loading complete】

【Mission World: Jujutsu Kaisen Derivative World b3243】

【World Type: Team Competition】 (Reincarnator combat in this world will produce scarlet drops)

【Note: Based on the influence of dm66616387, faction Zenin Clan has disappeared, related missions are being removed...】

Bai Cangshu looked at the long string of prompts that popped up before the world's Milestone had even been refreshed, and he clicked his tongue twice in the dark.

"It seems this world has already been turned into a mess by some incredible guy."
