Chapter 102

He calmed himself down and looked at War God UI .
No matter what happens, let’s just take the reward first before doing anything else .
Outside the pill furnace, white goose and Qin Xiao Lou were both a bit shocked, then breathed out in relief .
“Ok” Qin Xiao Lou doesn’t mediate anymore, only sat on a chair and crossed his legs, “now we’ll have to see his luck, whether or not he can awaken a Thaumaturgy after breaking through”
“As long as he’s safe, having a Thaumaturgy or not doesn’t matter” white goose casually said .
“Is Third brother fine?” Xiuxiu asked, not knowing anything .
“He’s fine” white goose nodded at her .
Xiuxiu smiled like she got a load off her chest .
On the War God UI, four patterns appeared on the wheel .
A line of text appeared in the middle of the wheel .
“Thaumaturgies has been rolled successfully, because the user’s Quest completion evaluation is S, you’ve received the highest amount to pick from: 4”
“The user can choose 1 out of 4 Thaumaturgy to awaken”
Looks like completing the Quest perfectly does have its benefits, Gu Qing Shan was a little surprised at being able to choose out of so many .
If he didn’t do anything, he’d probably only receive a random Thaumaturgy without the chance to choose .
Looking at the four patterns, he found whichever he looks at will light up and shows him a detailed description .
The first pattern is a clock .
A clock will always signify a time-based Thaumaturgy .
Time-based Thaumaturgies can only be either a God's Chosen Skill or a Divine Skill .

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped a bit .
Then he looked at the detailed description
“God's Chosen Skill: Timed Announcement”
“Description: On your 22nd birthday, exactly at 8 PM, you can use the skill to let the entire world hear your voice”
----------the fuck can this be used for?
As expected of a God's Chosen Skill, it could be any type of strange and unusual effect .
Gu Qing Shan could almost feel the black lines on his head, so he skipped to the next pattern .
The second pattern is a fist .
“Martial Thaumaturgy: Air Fist”
“Description: Attack with your fist, within a 3-meter radius, as you use martial arts, you can hit your opponent with the strength of a normal fist attack”
With any martial artist, this would be quite a decent ability, but thinking, Gu Qing Shan feels that he should just keep going on the path of the sword .
Regretfully, he also skipped this one .
The third pattern is a girl .
“God's Chosen Skill: Female transformation”
“Description: After use, the user will become female . Allure +1000%, personal strength increased to 115%”
Gu Qing Shan doesn’t even hesitate to skip this ability .
He’s feeling a bit anxious now .
Don’t tell me I couldn’t even get a single usable Thaumaturgy?
If there’s no choice, he can only choose Air Fist, it’s a practical Thaumaturgy, all things considered .

Gu Qing Shan sigh, then looked at the last pattern .
The fourth pattern are two silver slithering snakes .
As he looked at it, the two snakes quickly twisted together, forming one big words
“Smiting” (TN: as in Divine Smite)
As he saw that, Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped again .
“It’s Smiting”
He spoke with a slight trembling voice .
He doesn’t even need to check the description and immediately chose this Thaumaturgy .
“The user has picked Smiting to be his Thaumaturgy, War God Thaumaturgy Quest reward complete”
“10 seconds later, the user will have a choice between Life or Death Lightning”
On the War God UI, the wheel began to shrink, then jumped to one of the black buttons at the bottom, replacing it .
There’s only two active buttons in the entire row of buttons right now, one of them was “War God Skills” and the other was this wheel .
On it, a small icon flashed .
If you look at it carefully, you’d see the words “Smiting” on the icon .
The wheel was completely empty except for this Thaumaturgy .
But Gu Qing Shan is already very pleased .
This is a mutated 5-Element, a Thaumaturgy that many dreams of having .
---------Lightning element spirit energy

Lightning isn’t just very effective against demons, it also has numerous other unthinkable uses and characteristics .
In the previous life, after a certain person awaken a Lightning elemental root, he stole a Warship, risked the dangers of meeting space monsters to go to outer space and found a planet to live on .
This was a place the Confederate found after much research, known to have very few space monsters .
The Warship itself have a self-sufficient ecosystem, he only needed to provide it with energy for it to last for 50 years .
After 50 years he would die, but by then the world would’ve already ended and the rest of humanity already died out, it would have been a long enough life .
During the last few dark and depressing years of the Apocalypse, he would send a broadcast of his happy, luxurious daily life for the world to watch .
Right, when he left, he also took his girlfriend with him, a blond beauty .
As well as a dog .
And before the Apocalypse came, he was a chef .
His life was truly something to envy .
Luckily, that happy life only lasted for 7 years, because in the 8th year, a space monster passed by where he was and accidentally killed him .
When the news reached the survivors living the harsh life on Earth for the 8th year in a row, everyone felt a rare sense of happiness that couldn’t be described .
This is the most extreme usage of Lightning Element root; so Gu Qing Shan won’t attempt it .
But you can see from this just how useful Lightning can be .
Inside the pill furnace, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes .
He’s already awoken the Thaumaturgy, what else did he need to choose?
“Choice begin!”
1 second later, the entire world disappeared in front of his eyes .
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing on a mountainous sanctuary, or to be precise, on a road of a sanctuary .
It was night, the rain was pouring with vigor, only when Gu Qing Shan appeared did the rain suddenly stopped .
All things became still, as the night wind slowly blew, lightning was brewing in the cloud above, occasionally let out a thunderous roar .
It was like the world itself was waiting for something .
Then words appeared from thin air, silently floated in front of where Gu Qing Shan stood .
“Thunder, outer Yin, inner Yang, creating thunder, contains sound but no substance”
“Lightning, inner Yin, outer Yang, sparking lightning, contains light without sound”
“Lightning and Thunder, mirrors Life and Death . Thunder is Death, there is nothing but to kill; Lightning is Life, there’s only a will to live . From Life and Death, choose only one”
“You have 1 minute”
Gu Qing Shan silently read all of it and went silent .
Main 5-Elements and mutated 5-Elements, from what he knows, the awakening process is always the same, so he had no idea that Lightning had such a way of categorizing .
But thinking about it clearly, normally when awakening an Element, most people awaken main 5-Elements; mutated 5-Elements are quite rare, and the rarest of them all would have to be Lightning, so he doesn’t have much information to go on in the first place .
Then which does he choose?
He only has 1 minute .
But Gu Qing Shan already made a choice .
He doesn’t have any interest in the killing aspect of Thunder, because he’s a sword cultivator, and there’s no lack of ways for him to kill with the sword .
If there are too many methods for them to do the same thing, cultivators would eventually have to think about which would be better, thus affecting their progress .
Gu Qing Shan have seen Lightning element cultivators fought their foes .
The strength of Thunder is outrageous, truly something designed to destroy .
In the past life, all players that awaken to Lightning elemental would always choose Thunder type, probably because they’re afraid they might not get strong enough attack skills .
But Gu Qing Shan is absolutely confident that his sword arts won’t lose to any Thunder type cultivators in destructive power .
