"Sub-ranks of masteries are Lowest, Low, Mid, High, Peak."

"I got quite a few masteries back already."

His mastery of Death, Darkness, and Time had returned to what it was before he gave everything away to Daniel.

Water was only a single sub-rank away.

For Shadow element, he was creating a new Concept.

His previous Concept was not weak, but he gained a new understanding of the Shadow element when he saw the Supreme Deity of Shadows.

"Shadows are one," he muttered.

He frowned.

The words he had spoken did not embody his Concept perfectly.

"I guess my Concept would have been completed if I could put it in words."

Neo’s gaze shifted to his masteries of the Life element and the Holy element.

"These elements…."

Neo’s Concept of Life and Holy were not very useful for ’healing.’

It was similar to how his Concept of Death killed by putting others to sleep which – strictly speaking – wasn’t killing.

His Concepts for Life and Holy were not for healing and purification either.

This was why he was hesitating for Life and Holy elements.

Should he regain his previous Concept or try to create a new Concept for both?

"I can’t be careless. If I mess up, I won’t be able to heal Elizabeth."

Neo clicked his tongue.

His gaze went back to his mastery of Death, Darkness, and Time.

"Hey, Velkaria."

’What is it?’

"How do I reach the peak of an element’s Savant mastery?

"My masteries have been stuck on Savant (High) for centuries."

’You need the World’s permission to reach Savant and manifest a Domain.’

’Until Expert, your masteries must have come from your hard work and talent.’

’But from Savant, you need to serve the World and hope it bestows you the masteries.’

Neo’s expression darkened.

"So the mastery won’t increase no matter how much we train?"

’No, not exactly.’

’The masteries won’t increase unless you train and have the World’s blessing. You need both. Just having one won’t be enough.’

Velkaria’s mood soured as it explained how masteries worked.

During the Shadow Trial, Neo could never reach Savant Mastery after the World Core was destroyed.

It was why Velkaria was not worried about his infinite revival.

No matter how much he ranked up, he could not kill Velkaria unless he became a God or Angel.

The Gods were already dead after Velkaria destroyed the World Core, so Neo couldn’t become an Angel.

His only choice was becoming a God to defeat Velkaria.

However, Neo could not become a God.

To reach Godhood, one needed to go beyond Supreme mastery in an element.

This put Neo in a difficult position.

The World Core had been destroyed, and it was impossible for him to increase his elemental mastery. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

In other words, he could never become a God.

It was a checkmate for Neo.

It should have been a checkmate.

’But no! This fucker chose a third path.’

’Since he couldn’t become an Angel or a God, he became an Ascender!’

Velkaria wanted to cry.

She had seen a lot of geniuses. Neo was not one of them. But she would rather face a hundred genius than face Neo again,

"What are you talking about?"

’Nothing.’

Velkaria decided to change the topic.

’You are saying your mastery is Savant already?’

"Yes, most are High Savant."
