Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Feeling the immense power coursing through his body, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but laugh heartily. There was probably nothing in the world more wonderful than the feeling of a massive increase in strength.

Once he finally calmed down, Li Chang’an opened the lottery page of his Rebirth Mark, ready to use the Advanced Talent Lottery Ticket he had just acquired.

[Drawing Advanced Innate Divine Technique...]

A massive, multicolored prize wheel appeared in the pure-white Rebirth Space.

As the Rebirth Mark emitted a brilliant golden light, the wheel began to spin slowly, its diamond-shaped pointer in the center gliding over one prize after another.

The wheel spun for several seconds before finally landing on a red section.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Divine Technique — Gigantification (Red)]

[Gigantification (Red): You can cause your body to become gigantic. Once enlarged, your Strength Attribute will be boosted by 300%–1000%, and your body’s defense will increase by 100%–300%. The larger your body becomes, the greater the boost to these attributes. Correspondingly, your Agility Attribute will decrease as your body grows.]

Seeing the brand-new talent appear in his vision, Li Chang’an’s already great mood instantly became even better. After all, last time he had drawn two other powerful talents: Three Heads and Six Arms and Ancient Divine-Demon Body.

Three Heads and Six Arms allowed him to grow six arms and three heads, drastically increasing his combat effectiveness for a short period. As for Ancient Divine-Demon Body, it allowed him to acquire and inherit some of the attributes and talents of the Ancient Demon Gods.

’If I add the Gigantification talent on top of all that...’

Li Chang’an didn’t dare to imagine just how terrifying it would be if he were to fight with his full power.

Speaking of the Ancient Divine-Demon Body, it was a Gold-rarity talent, which should have been the strongest of all the Innate Divine Techniques he had drawn.

And yet, Li Chang’an hadn’t felt any tangible enhancement to his physical constitution or combat effectiveness from it.

According to the talent’s description, Li Chang’an had to break through certain boundaries before he could obtain a portion of the power originating from the Ancient Gods and Demons.

As for what those boundaries were, or in what aspects he needed to break through, that information remained shrouded in mystery.

Li Chang’an had originally thought that breaking through several Realms in a row at the end of this reincarnation would count as breaking a boundary, but it seemed he had been mistaken.

...

Having finished drawing his talent, Li Chang’an stood up and stretched his limbs. While advancing several Realms in such a short time felt exhilarating, he had to be careful that his foundation didn’t become unstable from breaking through too quickly.

Therefore, Li Chang’an didn’t rush back to the Main World. Instead, he went to the Reincarnator arena and spent a fortune on a few sparring bots to properly hone his body before finally choosing to depart.

However, just as he was about to leave, Li Chang’an suddenly noticed that his Rebirth Mark seemed to have changed in some way.

[Name: Li Chang’an]

[Permanent Rebirth ID: 31402]

[Evolution Level: A+ (Martial Arts Seventh Rank Peak)]

[Citizen Rights: Level 5 (1500/30000)]

[Exclusive Talent: Heaven-defying Comprehension (Unique)]

[Remaining Rebirth Points: 3,831,461]

Glancing over his personal information, Li Chang’an didn’t notice anything unusual at first. Only after a second, more careful look did he realize that his Citizen Level had risen again!

The last time the Human Alliance had granted Citizen Rights, Li Chang’an was only at Level 4.

But now, after this latest reincarnation, it had become Level 5.

’What’s going on?’

Puzzled, Li Chang’an immediately asked, ”Mark, why did my Citizen Level suddenly increase?”

The Rebirth Mark replied more quickly than Li Chang’an had anticipated, stating directly, ”Greetings, esteemed Reincarnator 31402. As your Evolution Level has reached A and your average reincarnation rating exceeds S, the Mark has automatically adjusted to supplement your Citizen Rights!”

’Automatically adjusting my Citizen Rights?’

At first, Li Chang’an didn’t understand what that meant.

After thinking for a long moment, he finally figured it out. The Rebirth Mark must have determined that his current Citizen Level no longer matched his sudden surge in power, so it automatically upgraded his Citizen Rights.

Li Chang’an stroked his chin in amazement. ”I never knew the Rebirth Mark had a function like this. Why has no one ever mentioned it before?”

’Well,’ he thought, ’I suppose a super-freak like me, who can ascend an entire major Realm from a single Energy Infusion, is extremely rare among the vast population of Reincarnators.’

’Since it’s not a common occurrence, it’s only natural that most Low-Tier Reincarnators, and even the schools, wouldn’t know about it, let alone teach it in advance.’

Once he understood the reason, Li Chang’an felt another jolt of excitement and eagerly asked, ”What special privileges does a Level 5 Citizen get?”

Citizen Level was notoriously difficult to raise.

’A Level 5 Citizen...’ he mused. ’I’m afraid even Su Ruobing, the President of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association, might not have a Citizen Level as high as mine.’

The Rebirth Mark replied without hesitation, ”You now have the right to purchase items within the Mark at a 70% discount. Furthermore, all transactions are exempt from handling fees and taxes. In addition, you now possess partial administrator rights and can create a private space of up to three hundred square meters!”

’Forget the 70% discount on purchases,’ he thought, ’I can actually create my own space inside the Rebirth Mark?’

This reminded Li Chang’an of the massive venue the Reincarnator Association had created for the regional tournament—a space large enough to hold tens of thousands, or even close to one hundred thousand Reincarnators, where every sensation felt almost identical to being in the real world.
