When Wen Liang opened his eyes again, he found himself in a space enveloped by the Imaginary.
He could sense it immediately—this was the interstice of the Path of Abundance.
It seemed this so-called Character Enhancement did not simply max everything out in an instant. It still required a process.
Wen Liang looked down at himself. At some point, his form had changed again, becoming his Abundance persona: Cecilia.
Hmm...
And now what?
Cecilia turned to the system panel once more.
Character History Enhancement Progress: 30%...
Abundance Authority Elevation: 70%...
Genesis Key: Abyss Flower — 90%... 100%!
Oh?
Her attention was instantly drawn to that last line.
Abyss Flower?
Was it the same Abyss Flower the shop sold for 70,000 points?
In the next instant, a pure white light flashed in Cecilia's hand.
When the light faded, a white lance in the shape of an elegant parasol had settled into her grasp.
Its shaft was long and graceful, its tip blooming like a lily—holy, beautiful, and razor-sharp.
The moment she held it, a warm and vast life force surged from her hand through her entire body.
There was no doubt about it.
This was Abyss Flower.
Cecilia gave the lance a light swing. A soft white halo rippled outward, stirring layer upon layer of radiance through the Imaginary space.
A line of text appeared on the system panel:
Genesis Key: Abyss Flower — A Divine Key possessing the dual authorities of creation and decay. It has now deeply fused with the character "Cecilia," becoming the manifested vessel of her Abundance authority.
Cecilia nodded in satisfaction.
A weapon worth seventy thousand points, obtained for free through the enhancement. This really was not a bad deal.
She continued feeling the changes inside her body.
As expected, her authority over Abundance was still rising.
Character History Enhancement Progress: 60%...
Abundance Authority Elevation: 85%...
Acquired Special Ability: Schariac Holy Blood — By orally consuming her blood, one may receive the blessing of Abundance, healing wounds, delaying aging, and even granting mortals a degree of extraordinary longevity.
Special Note: Those who consume the host's blood over a long period have a chance to fall into a state of obsession.
Cecilia raised a brow.
So now she had a passive skill that turned her into a blood pack?
Whatever. It did not look especially practical, but more abilities were rarely a bad thing.
Besides, if she remembered correctly, one of Abyss Flower's skills also involved bloodletting.
Maybe now that her blood had been upgraded, that ability had become even more outrageous too.
Just as Cecilia was thinking that over, a gaze fell upon her.
It came without warning, yet it was so heavy it felt as though the entire Path interstice had been laid upon her shoulders.
Cecilia froze.
Slowly, she lifted her head and looked deeper into the interstice.
There, countless motes of light gathered and dispersed, forming a figure that was both present and indistinct.
The Aeon of Abundance—Yaoshi.
Cecilia's heartbeat skipped.
Yaoshi's gaze rested on her.
Then a voice echoed within Cecilia's consciousness.
"Newborn child."
"Hello?" Cecilia tried offering a tentative greeting.
Yaoshi was calling her a newborn child?
Even though this alt had existed for a while already.
Still... was Yaoshi appearing here because They had sensed the rise of her status as an Abundance Emanator, or because of the Character Enhancement itself?
The system answered soon enough.
Character History Enhancement Progress: 90%... 100%!
Abundance Authority Elevation: 90%... 100%!
Cecilia Enhancement Manifested.
Cecilia Schariac — Formed from Yaoshi's purest branch, the greatest embodiment of Abundance beneath Yaoshi Themselves, and the only child in whom Yaoshi hid a trace of personal feeling.
At that, Cecilia's gaze sharpened.
So this so-called Character Enhancement did not merely strengthen a persona—it actually completed that persona's identity.
And not just any identity, either.
The purest branch of Yaoshi? The only child toward whom Yaoshi held private affection?
That background setting looked absurdly strong.
After all, by the very nature of the Path of Abundance, Yaoshi was an Aeon almost defined by selflessness.
So long as one was fortunate enough to stand before Them, They rarely refused a request.
Of course, that assumed one had the ability to bear the consequences.
And now... she had even inherited a piece of Yaoshi's personal attachment?
The moment the system prompt vanished, Cecilia felt an even stranger resonance arise.
Yaoshi's gaze remained fixed on her, filled with an almost boundless tenderness.
And Cecilia could indeed feel some kind of connection—a closeness that came from the very root of the Path itself.
"Child. My beloved child."
Yaoshi's voice rang out again, clearer this time.
Then a radiance beyond any name or color flowed from Yaoshi's hand.
It was not an attack. Nor was it exactly a blessing.
It was more like a temporary transfer, or revelation, of authority itself.
That radiance gently enveloped Cecilia.
In an instant, her consciousness was forcibly elevated beyond mortal limits and thrust into a level she had never touched before.
She saw countless civilizations flourishing under the grace of Abundance.
And she saw them twist, collapse, and rot under excessive growth, becoming nourishment for yet stranger and more wondrous forms.
This was one corner of the Path of Abundance.
Vast. Complex. Brimming with life.
Yet also chaotic. Lawless. Nearly instinctive.
And now Cecilia had become part of this Abundance—its purest part.
May you be well in all things.
Yaoshi's voice passed over Cecilia's mind once more, like a gentle tide.
And at that moment—
Cecilia's persona was officially maxed out.
