<h4>Chapter 583 Four Pirs: New Features</h4>


    Ding!


    [You have now arrived at the midpoint on the path to transcending mortality. A whole new world of power has been made avable for you, allowing you toprehend the strength of the world itself and convert it into your own.]


    [The ability to view one''s Intents and one''s progress towardsprehension of Intents has been unlocked.]


    [The ability toprehend and enhance Intents has been unlocked.]


    [Due to your experiences thus far, you have rued a considerable amount of understanding regarding some concepts of the world. With a bit more effort andprehension, you can convert these concepts into a rudimentary strength you can wield, taking on the form of an Intent Seed.]


    ''Huh. Who knew I was actually close toprehending Intent Seeds?'' Reading through the long list of notifications brought about by his evolution, a faint smile appeared on Valyr''s lips as he took note of thest notification involving Intents.


    In the meantime, hemanded the system to bring up a screen beside the one he was already looking at, wanting to obtain greater detail on his progress.


    Being a feature that could only be unlocked after a being had ascended to Rank 3, Intents added a whole newyer to one''sbat, incorporating one''s understanding of the world''s concepts in their every move. Though, for yers, Intents did something else that seemed far more important.


    A massive increase to one''s Attack stat.


    Then again, even NPCs sought to obtain Intents for their own due to this exact feature. Unfortunately, there were multiple barriers that made it considerably difficult for one to obtain their Intent, causing some yers and NPCs to give up on getting one and find another way of gaining more strength instead.


    Beforeprehending an Intent, one would first have to find a concept that suited them. Then, after finding that specific concept, they would increase their understanding of it until it reached a saturation point.


    Once one slightly surpassed that saturation point, a qualitative change of one''s understanding would begin to ur, creating a resonance between the world and the level of understanding one had achieved. Through that, a rudimentary connection would be formed between them and the world, taking on the form of an Intent Seed.


    As long as one had sessfully formed an Intent Seed, it could be said that the being would be guaranteed toprehend their Intent at some point in the future. However, there existed four stages that separated one from transforming their Intent Seed into an Intent, which were the nascent stage, the first stage, the second stage, and the culmination stage.


    Ding!


    ————


    Intents:


    [Intent Seed of mes] - 82% progress to the Nascent stage


    [Intent Seed of Forging] - 85% progress to the Nascent stage


    [Intent Seed of the Spear] - 53% progress to the Nascent stage


    [Intent Seed of Shadow Energy] - 32% progress to the Nascent stage


    [Intent Seed of the Four Elements] - 29% progress to the Nascent stage


    ————


    ''I thought I was already lucky to be close inprehending a single Intent Seed.'' Shifting his attention towards the screen containing his Intents, Valyr''s eyes briefly widened in disbelief, taking quite some time to calm down. ''To think that I had actually made progress inprehending five of them from what I''ve been doing so far.''


    Though, after looking at the possible Intents he could awaken once more, the young man eventually nodded in understanding. "Then again, since they''re rted to what I''ve used often throughout my journey, I guess it makes sense."


    "I''ll have to keep them in mind." Satisfied with what he had discovered, he then moved onto the other notifications he had yet to read, with the next ones piquing his interest yet again.


    [Your level of ess to the Technology Tree has been improved. You are now eligible to unlock Intermediate level advancements from the Technology Tree.]


    [Your level of ess to the Technology Tree has been improved. More advancements have now been made avable to you.]


    ''Thankfully, I still have enough Technology Points to unlock and upgrade one very important advancement.'' Faintly chuckling at the notifications he had just read, Valyr briefly nced at the others to see what they were doing. Seeing that they were still upied with their tasks for a bit longer, he went ahead and opened up the Technology Tree, allocating a considerable number of his remaining points towards the Production branch.


    Ding!


    [You have unlocked the advancement <Basic Advancement Lv. 1>.]


    [You have upgraded the advancement <Basic Advancement> to Lv. 5 (MAX).]


    [As you have unlocked <Basic Advancement>, you have gained the active skill ''Basic Equipment Advancement''.]


    [Due to your current ss, your active skill ''Basic Equipment Advancement'' has been changed to ''True Prodigious Equipment Advancement''.]


    "Finally unlocked Advancements," said the young man with a grin. Taking a look at the Technology Tree''s Production branch to see if there were any other important advancements he could unlock with his remaining Technology Points, Valyr eventually found out that everything else could be saved for ater time, prompting him to return his attention back to his notifications.


    Ding!


    [Your active skill ''True Prodigious Forging Style+'' has been improved.]


    [Your active skill ''True Prodigious Equipment Creation+'' has been improved.]


    …


    [Your passive skill ''True Prodigious cksmith''s Sight'' has been improved.]


    ''So, rather than giving me a new skill, the evolution instead enhanced all of the skills I''ve unlocked from the ss thus far.'' Looking at the simr-looking notifications he had gotten, Valyr could only nod in understanding,manding the system to bring up the description of one of the enhanced skills.


    "Oh! The rarity''s been increased." Unexpectedly, it did not take long for the young man to find out what had changed, noticing that almost every skill he had that started with the words ''True Prodigious'' now had a plus modifier on their rarity. "It''s a shame [True Prodigious Equipment Advancement+] didn''t undergo the same treatment."


    "That only leaves me with the stat changes brought about by the ascension, then." Inwardly praising himself for having gone through a lot of notifications in a considerably short time, Valyr finally focused his attention on what looked to be the most important set of notifications he had received from the ascension.


    Unfortunately, before he could even begin reading through the first one…


    "Hey, Valyr?"


    "Mind if we talk in private for a bit?"
