Which one should I choose?
[Electrified Phantom] is quite a good thaumaturgy . From Gu Qing Shan’s estimation, he can probably split into three illusions of himself in battle .
Being able to form illusions in battle will allow him to confuse his enemies, they only need to lose concentration for a single split second for the battle to conclude differently .
But that’s not Gu Qing Shan’s fighting style .
He ignored this option .
The remaining ones are [Potential Enhancement] and [Stiff] .
After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan chose [Stiff] .
[Potential Enhancement] can increase his movement speed and attack speed for a short time, but since Gu Qing Shan has the Divine Skill [Ground Shrink], he doesn’t really care about movement speed that much .
As for attack speed, with his [You Ji General] title giving him the [Quick Attack] skill, increasing his attack speed by 15%, he’s not in a hurry to get more of that .
On the other hand, [Seven Shackles] has helped Gu Qing Shan greatly several times during multiple battles .
[Seven Shackles] only last for 1 second, [Stiff] lasts for 2 .
Since [Stiff] is the evolved form of [Seven Shackles], perhaps it will level up again during the next time he has the chance to evolve his thaumaturgy .
For a sword cultivator, 2 seconds is more than enough to kill the enemy with a burst of power .
If one day, his lightning thaumaturgy is able to stun the enemy for 5 seconds…
-------no, 3 seconds is enough .
With 3 seconds, I can complete [Seven Stars] in one go!
Each strike of [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon] is considered its own Secret Art, so they take a little bit more time to use than a normal attack, but not by much .
And since I’ll advance to Golden Core soon, [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon] won’t place such a heavy burden on my body the next time I use it .

The next time his thaumaturgy levels up, he only needs to hit a random strike imbued with his thaumaturgy .
The enemy will instantly lose the ability to retaliate, and he can finish all 7 strikes in the 2 seconds that they do .
As soon as the seven stars form, the flowing dragon descends .
And the battle will be over .
This truly is a thaumaturgy specifically made for Secret Arts that takes multiple strikes!
Not to mention, the lightning dragon he summons will only become stronger and more devastating the more he grows .
“System, after [Seven Shackles] and [Stiff], is there a more powerful CC-type lightning thaumaturgy?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
[Yes] the System responded very simply .
Without any hesitation, Gu Qing Shan chose [Stiff] .
[Ting]!
[User has chosen the evolution for the lightning thaumaturgy, Seven Shackles is about to evolve to Stiff]
[The user has received the evolved lightning thaumaturgy: Stiff]
[Stiff: When a living being is struck by your Lightning, they will lose control of their body . Duration: 2 seconds]
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief .
Finally, all that effort wasn’t wasted .
2 seconds, combined with Divine Skill [Ground Shrink], he might be able to cheat and complete [Seven Stars] in one go as well .
From now on, [Stiff] will replace [Seven Shackles] to become his trump card in battle .
After the thaumaturgy finished evolving, the War God UI started to change .
Both circles lit up .
The smaller circle that represents [Seven Shackles]’a evolution slowly faded away .
The grey color on the larger circle also started to fade, instead replaced with a colorful 5-colored hue .

The main dish is here .
[Congratulations]
[You’ve completed the thaumaturgy evolution Quest]
[You’ve triggered a new thaumaturgy randomizer Quest]
[After breaking through to Golden Core, you will become one of the very few cultivators that awaken more than one thaumaturgy]
[New thaumaturgy randomizer Quest activated]
After a few lines of notification, the large circle with a 5-colored hue started to slowly rotate .
Gu Qing Shan also become a bit anxious .
This Quest will determine what his second thaumaturgy will be .
Usually, getting a thaumaturgy is already great luck .
Elemental, Martial, God's Chosen, there are innumerable thaumaturgies within these three types, and with how random chance works, getting one that perfectly fits you is hard .
The last time he did a thaumaturgy randomizer Quest, he got 4 chances to choose thanks to him finishing the Quest exceptionally well .
He even got to choose between Lightning of Life and Thunder of Death for his thaumaturgy .
And [Seven Shackles] has served him exceptionally well in crucial moments in many battles .
This time, he got another Quest that rewards a random thaumaturgy that he can choose --------after he finishes it .
No matter what, Gu Qing Shan is determined .
He has to put everything he has into finishing this Quest and get as many chances to choose as possible .
Because the more chances he gets, the more likely for him to get a powerful thaumaturgy!
On the War God UI, after rotating for a while, the circle turned into a sphere .
An empty crystal sphere .
Flashing lines of text appeared next to the crystal sphere .

[Quest prerequisite: The thaumaturgy randomizer Quest will only begin once you enter the cultivation world]
[Quest description: The Quest will be rated based on completion level, the higher the user’s completion level is, the more chances you get to choose a thaumaturgy]
[Note: The war of the two worlds will bring about never-before-seen consequences, please be prepared for any situation, hold your weapon tight and wait for the moment to come]
Even after Gu Qing Shan finished reading, the lines of text didn’t disappear, only silently floated next to the crystal sphere .
Gu Qing Shan was a bit shocked, muttering: “It’ll only begin once I enter the cultivation world?”
“How strange, what kind of Quest will this be?” he stared at the empty crystal sphere and started thinking .
But the aching wounds on his body very quickly reminded him of what he needed to do .
Since there’s nothing he can do about it, Gu Qing Shan instantly ignored it .
He took another top-tier healing pill in hand and swallowed .
Checking the jade bottle, he doesn’t have much left .
These are healing pills prepared by Bai Hua Saint, if this was the cultivation world, numerous people would compete for even a single one of them, yet he’s eating them as if they were candy .
Of course, Gu Qing Shan doesn’t feel the least bit regretful .
Healing pills are best used when you need to heal .
A full night passed .
Dawn came as the sun rises .
Walking out from his room, Gu Qing Shan’s steps were much lighter than before .
“How are you?” Anna looked at him and asked gently .
“There’s no problem with simple activities, but I still can’t fight”
Gu Qing Shan looked around and asked: “Where’s Ye Fei Li?”
Liao Xing answered: “He left to kill monsters a while ago, saying that Impartial Goddess arranged for it, probably cleaning up one city or another”
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “I was just about to tell him that his God's Chosen Awakening Serum is done”
“That’s fine, we’ll just give it to him when he comes back” Zhang Ying Hao said .
“Impartial Goddess, how long has it been since Ye Fei Li’s ears hurt?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
[Estimated time of pain is once every 21-39 hours, it’s been 35 hours since the last affliction] Impartial Goddess answered .
“That’s troublesome” Gu Qing Shan commented .
Suddenly, the Game of Eternal began .
An old voice resounded across the entire planet .
『 People of the world 』
『 The Apocalypse has come, calamities erupting all over the world, your fate is no better than
an ant in a tsunami . Insignificantly small and not in your control 』
『 Do you want to change your fate? 』
『 Struggle, keep on moving forward among the bloodshed, as only the strong has the right to survive 』
『 If you wish to become eternal, then challenge it . Once you succeed, you shall gain eternal life itself! 』
『 The Game of Eternal will now accept your entrance! 』
As soon that was heard, an option appeared in front of everyone in the world .
[Do you want to sign up to gain eternal life?]
[Yes][No]
Zhang Ying Hao and Liao Xing exchanged glances, a bit worried .
The game has finished updating and finally appeared again .
Gu Qing Shan said: “Impartial Goddess”
[I’m here, please give your orders sir]
“Broadcast the Murder Clown’s footage again”
[Understood]
The very next moment, all Holo-Brains in the world lit up .
A cold, stiff, eerie smiling face appeared in front of everyone .
