Chapter 515: Treasures of Transcendence
“Let’s head back.”
“With Jiang Ye here, the Zhou Family won’t dare cause trouble anytime soon.”
“Thank goodness we have Jiang Ye!”
“Our ancestor truly had foresight, securing Jiang Ye’s allegiance so early.”
“So, how exactly did Jiang Ye become transcendent?” the Chen Clan members murmured as they dispersed.
In the clearing, only Chen Fang, Chen Yuan, and a few other elders remained.
“That girl,” Chen Yuan said, shaking his head helplessly as he watched the direction Chen Zilu had vanished. “She always runs off with Jiang Ye without even saying goodbye to me.”
“What? Are you jealous?” Chen Fang teased with a smile.
“Jealous?” Chen Yuan sighed inwardly. He knew he had neglected Chen Zilu’s upbringing since she was a child. Now, the strained relationship between father and daughter was an unfortunate consequence.
If I could do it all over again, I would raise her properly, Chen Yuan thought bitterly. But there are no second chances. He could only hope that Zilu would find happiness with Jiang Ye.
Inside a villa, Chen Zilu’s face was alight with curiosity. “Jiang Ye, what exactly happened? Did you really gain a Transcendent Aptitude?”
She knew Jiang Ye possessed a treasure that could enhance innate aptitude, but reaching the transcendent level seemed too far-fetched.
“Of course it’s true,” Jiang Ye replied.
“Not because of the rewards from the Star Realm Sea,” Jiang Ye said with a smile. “But because of the civilization ruins.”
“Civilization ruins?” Chen Zilu asked, her curiosity piqued. “What exactly did you experience this past month?”
“I obtained the True Divine’s Inheritance.” Jiang Ye briefly described his experiences in the Inheritance Space.
Chen Zilu listened in stunned silence.
“True Divine?”
“The four realms of divinity?” Her delicate face was filled with astonishment; she had never heard of such things before.
“In short,” Jiang Ye said with a slight smile, “I now possess true Transcendent Aptitude.”
In truth, his attainment of transcendence had nothing to do with those treasures.
It was entirely due to the system.
But this was his deepest secret, one he could never reveal.
Though he trusted Chen Zilu implicitly, he couldn’t bring himself to tell her.
“Jiang Ye, you’re amazing,” Chen Zilu said sincerely. She was genuinely happy for him, but also felt a pang of envy.
Now that Jiang Ye had achieved transcendence, the distance between them would likely only grow wider.
A shadow of sadness flickered in her eyes at this thought.
Suddenly.
“Senior sister,” Jiang Ye suddenly said, “you’ll soon become transcendent too.”
Rattle-clatter! Clang! Clang!
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Ye summoned a vast array of treasures that cascaded to the floor.
Sixteen hundred treasures instantly filled the entire room.
“These treasures can all be used to upgrade from Primitive to Transcendent Aptitude,” Jiang Ye said with a smile. “I obtained them from the Inheritance Space.”
Chen Zilu froze in shock.
It took several seconds for her to react.
“This… this?” Her delicate face flushed with astonishment. “Jiang Ye, are you serious?”
Over a thousand treasures to upgrade innate aptitude?
If word of this got out, even demigod-level experts would go mad!
With these alone, one could establish a supreme aristocratic family, crushing all other transcendent families and becoming the sole overlord of Blue Star!
“Why would I lie to you?” Jiang Ye chuckled.
“These 1,600 treasures are enough for 400 people with Primitive Aptitude to ascend to Transcendent Aptitude,” Jiang Ye explained with a smile. “Of course, the success rate is only one in ten.”
“So, you should use them first.”
“Take ten for now, and I’ll decide what to do with the rest,” Jiang Ye said, his eyes softening with affection.
“This… this is too precious,” Chen Zilu murmured, biting her lip, her cheeks flushed crimson.
Even with her composed nature, she felt dizzy with disbelief. This felt like a dream.
Becoming transcendent? She had never even considered it before.
“Go on,” Jiang Ye said with a smile. “Become transcendent as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, if things continue like this, you won’t even be able to withstand one of my charges for much longer,” he teased.
“You—!”
“What are you saying?” Chen Zilu’s face flushed crimson, and she couldn’t help but glare at him.
Then, she picked up one of the treasures. Instantly, the treasure emitted a strange wave of energy, causing her delicate frame to tremble.
“Such a miraculous treasure,” Chen Zilu marveled inwardly.
As a quasi sixth-tier powerhouse, few things could still stir her heart like this.
“You’re giving me such a precious treasure?” A hint of guilt flickered in the depths of Chen Zilu’s eyes. She had always disliked accepting favors without repaying them.
But how could she ever repay Jiang Ye?
“Work hard,” she resolved silently. “I must catch up to him.”
Only by catching up to Jiang Ye could she truly help him.
Chen Zilu immediately closed her eyes and began refining the treasure before her.
Silently, Jiang Ye moved to the adjacent room and sat down cross-legged.
“Panel,” he murmured inwardly.
World power extracted from forty billion people.

Subtitles flashed across the screen.
“Finally, it’s over!” Jiang Ye murmured, a smile playing on his lips.
Indeed.
Jiang Ye’s metamorphosis hadn’t been fully completed earlier.
Though he had already ascended to the transcendent realm, his advancement far surpassed that of an ordinary transcendent.
“Transcendent third-tier?” Jiang Ye marveled inwardly. “This upgrade is truly immense. No wonder it’s powered by the world power of forty billion people.”
Jiang Ye didn’t know what this tier entailed.
But there was no doubt that it far surpassed the likes of Zhou Xingkong and Wang Feifan.
His transcendent domain alone comprised three distinct aspects!
And each aspect possessed terrifying power.
“Transcendent Domain, imperial,” Jiang Ye mused. “Even the first tier makes me feel like I’ve completely mastered heaven and earth.”
“If the second and third tiers are unlocked, how terrifying will they become?”
The transcendent domain Jiang Ye had publicly demonstrated earlier was precisely the first tier of the imperial domain.
With his current capabilities, he could only manifest the first tier.
At that moment, Jiang Ye had felt like the sovereign of heaven and earth, capable of overturning the entire world with a single thought—a delusion born from his inflated power.
But there was no denying it.
The power of this transcendent domain far surpassed that of Zhou Xingkong and his ilk.
“If I were to encounter Zhou Xingkong again?” Jiang Ye grinned confidently. “One strike would annihilate him.”
