Chapter 472: Jade’s Golden Stopwatch

[Knowing her condition, it didn’t take that long for you to realize the cause for her weakness and lack of energy.]

[From the looks of it, she had also walked the Magic Path, and not only was she greatly lacking in mana, but even her life force was unusually weak.]

[You knew that normally, her energy several seconds before should have been dangerously low, but not enough to lead her to this weakened state where she could barely move. You realized that it was due to her saving you and expending more energy than she had, which led to this outcome.]

[It was like a device on battery-saving mode, yet it was suddenly forced to mine cryptocurrency despite having trash specs.]

[Not only was she in a state of "overheating", but her energy levels were dangerously low, looking like someone who was about to pass out and fall into a comatose state.]

[You speechlessly commented, "How come a succubus like you lacked energy? It looks like you haven’t been fed for months."]

[Just when you were about to help her, many Dark Monsters appeared!]

[As far as your eyes could see, a group of Dark Monsters had seemed to realize their kin’s death, attracting them to the place where you and she were at.]

["Ah, the hell! Just when I’m still not given time to recover my power, I’ve been truly unlucky."]

[Knowing that she couldn’t save you a second time, you couldn’t help but leisurely complain.]

[It might seem like a dead end, but you were a former Divine rank powerhouse. Even if you had become a mortal, there were plenty of ways for you to deal with these monsters, especially when you had prepared a lot of items beforehand in your system inventory.]

[Not to mention the items you have in your system inventory, the methods you have that could be labeled as secret techniques for drastically improving combat power were numerous.]

[If you wanted to, you could easily burn every energy you had, whether it was your life energy, soul, and the like, allowing you to use a forbidden secret technique to display combat power far greater than your current power rank.]

[As a Divine rank powerhouse who had seen plenty of power systems and could create one yourself, it wasn’t difficult for you to use a life-burning technique that could drastically improve your combat power without possessing a power system.]

[’Although I can do that, that’s only if I have already acquired Second Life, Lifespan Burning Prodigal, and Rank Upper at the same time. Having those three innate talents would allow me to gain greater combat power from a life-burning technique without having to worry about completely dying.’]

[’Unfortunately, I have only taken Second Life. I don’t have time to acquire the rest of the two innate talents, so I can only change my approach and use a different method to deal with these Dark Monsters.’]

[The fact that Hint Prompt hadn’t warned you meant that your life wasn’t in any danger, and that these Dark Monsters couldn’t kill you, especially with the item in your hand.]

[You had previously taken out a certain item from your system inventory. After all, you hadn’t planned to rely on your savior to save you again.]

[Holding it in your right hand, you pressed the golden stopwatch. The mechanism within the stopwatch’s button caused your thumb to be pricked by a needle, using your blood to register and activate it.]

[After Jade’s Golden Stopwatch was activated, the entire world was stopped in time!]

[Looking at the motionless Dark Monsters, as well as the malnourished succubus near you, you breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Jade had made this for me. Even when I’m a normal human at the start, my DNA and whatnot will not change and are the same no matter what."]

["The energy saved within Jade’s Golden Stopwatch can recognize my blood and cause the stopwatch to stop the time of the entire world, even if I don’t possess the energy and power to do so."]

["As the Time Supreme, the time-attributed artifacts that Jade could make are undoubtedly top-notch."]

[After all, if you lacked time, you could simply stop time and give yourself breathing space. If the world couldn’t give you that, you just had to use your means to force the world to let you have that.]

[After stopping time, Jade’s Golden Stopwatch showed a timer of an hour, which was currently counting down. In other words, you have an hour before the energy inside it would run out.]

[Let alone an entire hour, you could easily recover your power with just a quarter of it.]

[Due to this, you first took out every innate talent crystal that you could use and re-acquired your entire arsenal of XX-rank innate talents. No matter what, acquiring those innate talents was the correct choice, as they were only second in value and priority to your simulation talents.]

[Aside from the lack of inheritance feature between each simulation, some innate talents were no worse than simulation talents.]

[A few minutes later, you’ve fully recovered your innate talent arsenal, which prompted you to take out the blood fruits first and increase your bloodline to Half-Step Primordial Human!]

[Currently, you were only a Normal Human. If you were a Half-Step Primordial Human, beating up those Dark Monsters would have been way too easy.]

[After all, even without a power system, the stat attributes that a Half-Step Primordial Human would inherently possess, coupled with their bloodline abilities, made them a formidable powerhouse.]

[Moreover, you’d acquire the innate ability of Blood Manipulation and Generation by merely consuming the Blood Fruits, which granted you a versatile superpower at the start.]

[This time, it took you a sixth of an hour to increase your bloodline rank from a Normal Human to Half-Step Primordial Human.]

[In fact, it would have taken you way longer if you didn’t use various items that could hasten the process, such as Jade’s Golden Timer, which could speed up and accelerate your time.]

[What’s great was that both of her artifacts didn’t conflict with each other, allowing you to accelerate your time while everyone else in the world was stopped in time!]
