Chapter 409: The New Attribute Panel
Fortunately, the turbulent energy soon dissipated, and the sky returned to its usual calm.
In reality, Haruto was still in the midst of his breakthrough. The massive energy vortex continued pouring into his body, helping him complete the second qualitative transformation of his life.
However, through his deliberate control, all this energy was concealed by special magic arrays within the training room.
Grayfia stood guard at the training room entrance, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she watched the tall figure within the energy vortex. Countless thoughts raced through her mind.
She felt envy toward Haruto achieving such power in less than two years of training, regret over her own prolonged inability to break through, but most of all, a rebellious thought kept growing within her.
As time passed slowly, when the last strand of energy merged into Haruto's body, the breakthrough was finally completed successfully.
Feeling the tremendous power within him, Haruto was ecstatic. This endeavor had not only allowed him to shatter his final inner demon and break through to the God-Level, but also enabled his martial path to leap directly to the immortal path.
As he became a God-Level powerhouse, his attribute panel was completely renewed.
It seemed that as his strength grew, the attribute panel had been continuously optimized along with his development.
Or perhaps this attribute panel had always been his alternative soul talent, though it had never fully materialized due to his transmigration and rebirth.
Only through continuous improvement in strength and gradual enhancement of his soul had it slowly activated and manifested. Now, having completed the qualitative transformation of soul sublimation, it had finally evolved to its complete form.

==========
Compared to the previous interface, the current status page has become more concise and clear, yet its functionality has improved immeasurably.
First, cultivation realms are clearly displayed, and weapons bound through Soul Contracts can now be shown.
The pentagram following the name has disappeared, while the dual cultivation ability has become a permanent passive skill integrated into the body.
Weapon Master has advanced to Grandmaster as his power increased, and the same applies to his strongest martial arts—evolving from Martial Arts Grandmaster to God of Martial Arts.
The Primordial Bloodline was formed through the fusion of all Haruto's bloodlines, while God of Martial Arts resulted from the evolutionary fusion of close-combat talents like Mirror Alice and Combat Intuition.
Weapon Grandmaster naturally formed through the integration of masteries like swordsmanship and spearmanship.
However, as he hasn't mastered particularly supreme weapon talents, there's still some distance to cover before reaching God of Weapons.
When Haruto someday trains formidable magical talents like the Power of Destruction to instinctive proficiency, they can fuse again to form a permanent passive—God of Magic.
Actually, Haruto thought Grand Magus sounded quite appealing too, but for the sake of visual consistency, he decided to stick with God of Magic.
If ordinary skills like sketching, cooking, and driving are trained to perfection, the status panel can also integrate them all to form a lifestyle-based permanent passive.
Or to put it differently—form into Laws.
After reaching god-level, comprehension of Laws becomes most crucial, with energy enhancement and purification taking secondary priority.
There are three thousand Great Daos in the world—here "three thousand" being figurative, meaning any path can transform into a Law.
But the strongest, most fundamental Laws are few.
Chaos divides into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang separate into Five Elements, and Five Elements generate all things.
Haruto's Primordial Bloodline represents the Law of Chaos, while dual cultivation embodies the Law of Yin and Yang.
Weapons and martial arts are slightly inferior, though only relatively speaking.
Among countless Great Daos, these two still rank as first-class Laws with formidable combat power.
The status panel's greatest ability is that it doesn't require Haruto to spend time comprehending—each use steadily increases proficiency.
Once proficiency maxes out, it can transform into a Law Seed, then continuously absorb other Laws of the same level to evolve, eventually becoming a supreme Law.
Although this is Haruto's innate soul ability, even he doesn't understand exactly how it works.
Just like everyone knows that after eating, food converts into energy the body needs, but except for those versed in biology, most people don't understand the underlying principles.
After Laws have formed—that is, become passives—the methods for further improvement remain simple.
One is automatic evolution as Haruto's power increases.
The other is continuous dual cultivation, replicating deficient aspects from powerful women's bodies to evolve and enhance.
Of course, even after forming Laws, some abilities still require active use.
Such as Nekomata transformation, Berserk mode, etc.
However, these abilities are now as natural to Haruto as eating and drinking—usable anytime without any restrictions or side effects.
After thoroughly studying the brand new attribute panel, Haruto then examined the immortal power and divine power within his body.
Through the display on the fundamental panel, the memories in his mind, and the insights gained through subtle enlightenment, he came to understand the specific divisions of the two realms: Immortal and Divine.
The Immortal Path follows the early primordial era, when Great Luo Golden Immortals were as common as the grass.
Thus, it begins directly at the Celestial Immortal level, with no so-called Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, or True Immortal stages, nor any divisions like early, middle, or late phases.
Above Celestial Immortal is Mystic Immortal, equivalent to Mid-level Deities.
Above Mystic Immortal is Golden Immortal, equivalent to High-level Deities.
Above Golden Immortal is Taiyi Golden Immortal, equivalent to the Quasi-Dragon God Class.
Dragon God Class naturally corresponds to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Beyond Dragon God Class is Quasi-Saint, and Evil God Class represents the Saint level.
As for what lies beyond, the secrets Haruto glimpsed during his breakthrough did not include that information.
Perhaps it was because his current strength was still insufficient, or perhaps because the strongest beings in this world only reached the Evil God level. Thus, he couldn't comprehend the Heavenly Dao level beyond Saint, let alone the stronger Great Dao level or the ultimate existence that completely transcends the River of Time and stands above all realms.
What does ultimate strength mean? Simply put, it means transcending everything, eternal and indestructible.
Even if chaos collapses, the Great Dao perishes, and the River of Time withers, one would remain deathless and undying, free and unfettered.
Though it was slightly regrettable that he couldn't glimpse the scenery beyond the ultimate, even so, the gains from this breakthrough would keep Haruto occupied for a long time.
When he reaches the threshold of the next qualitative life transformation—the Evil God level (Saint)—it wouldn't be too late to consider what lies beyond.
Haruto slowly opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils resembling chaotic universes, with dazzling galaxies shimmering within, exuding a mysterious and profound majestic aura.
Beside him, the silver-haired beautiful wife who had witnessed Haruto's entire breakthrough process felt her heart tremble. The bottleneck that had hindered her for years seemed to loosen under his gaze.
"Haruto, were you serious about what you said earlier?"
Before Haruto could speak, Grayfia proactively approached him, leaning close and staring at his now more perfect face as she asked.
Haruto was momentarily stunned, then laughed. "Of course I was serious. Now that I've broken through to the God level, my dual cultivation abilities have greatly enhanced. Who knows? After dual cultivation, Grayfia, you might become a God-level powerhouse in one go."
The silver-haired beautiful wife blinked her lovely eyes, the palpitations in her heart growing even more intense.
The two gazed at each other, and a pink atmosphere gradually spread throughout the quiet cultivation room.
Before they knew it, there was no distance left between them. The silver-haired beautiful wife's full, soft breasts pressed tightly against Haruto's chest.
"Grayfia…"
"Mmm…"
Feeling Haruto's hot breath against her neck, Grayfia, dressed in her blue-and-white maid outfit, proactively tilted her small face upward, offering her luscious, tempting red lips.
Haruto captured her full lips, licking around them once before pushing past her teeth, his fiery tongue running rampant within her tender, smooth mouth.
"Mmph… mmm…"
As their lips and tongues intertwined, under Haruto's skilled techniques, the silver-haired beautiful wife—who had barely experienced kissing—quickly succumbed.
Grayfia's delicate body went limp in Haruto's embrace, her small mouth slightly parted and her slick little tongue yielding to his exploration, only able to let out weak, ambiguous pants.
After kissing for a while, sensing the beauty in his arms beginning to squirm restlessly, Haruto's large hands also began to roam.
Lifting the fluffy maid dress, he rolled the hem up to the silver-haired beauty's waist, instantly revealing her sexy black garter stockings.
At the tender, snow-white root of her thighs was a semi-transparent pair of black lace panties, clearly outlining Grayfia's full, prominent mound.
Who would have thought that Grayfia, who usually appeared serious and strict with a queenly demeanor, would wear such sexy underwear underneath.
Perhaps sensing Haruto's surprise, the silver-haired beauty shyly turned her face away, biting her lip slightly as she pleaded.
"Haruto... please stop looking..."
"Huh? Grayfia, are you... embarrassed?"
The silver-haired beauty didn't answer, instead pressing her face against Haruto's chest, a delicate pink flush spreading from her neck downward.
Seeing this, Haruto immediately understood.
He never expected that Grayfia, who had already given birth to a child, still possessed such a girlish side—a world apart from her usual queenly demeanor.
Gazing at the beauty in his arms with such striking contrast, Haruto felt exceptionally excited, eager to strip her bare and begin their formal dual cultivation.
As if sensing Haruto's thoughts, Grayfia's voluptuous body trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Haruto... let's go to the room. My room is right above the training chamber."
"Alright."
Haruto promptly lifted the silver-haired beauty into his arms and followed the training chamber's only exit to the fragrant bedroom of the married woman.
Since becoming Satan, Sirzechs hardly ever returned to stay at the Gremory household.
This room was occupied solely by Grayfia. Aside from herself, only Venelana and Rias occasionally visited. Whatever the two did inside, there was no worry of being discovered by others.
Although they had made their decision and were prepared for the consequences if discovered, if they could keep it hidden, they would do their utmost to conceal it.
With a thought, his telekinetic magic activated—the curtains drew shut, and the door locked. Haruto grabbed the uninspiring blue-and-white maid uniform and exerted force.
