Chapter 807: The Gloomfrost Ascension
[Title: Lifeform of the Crimson Thread (DRAGON ASCENDANT)]
[Occupation Overview: Lifeform is one of the most fundamental and primary origins of life, occupying the apex of the natural hierarchy. They exist across countless realms, maintaining their unique positions as the ultimate masters of existence. Those who attain the status of Crimson Thread Lifeform are transcendent entities, surpassing all other Lifeforms in their pursuit of ultimate ascension.]
The progression of your rank within this occupation reflects your advancement toward your ultimate goal. The Crimson Thread Lifeform is both ancient and enduring—a bridge between the mortal and the divine. We shall elevate your Gloomfrost path into a realm of profound transcendence, where each step brings you closer to true divinity.
To become a Gloomfrost Ascendant Lifeform, you must fulfill the following prerequisites:
- Species: Any genuine Lifeform.
- Base Rank: 27+
- Unique Trait: Unbreakable Resolve.
To initiate the Gloomfrost Ascension process, you must first fully dismantle your current lifeform’s foundation, transferring all your accumulated power into your Soul Vessel. This act of complete surrender is essential—only through total devotion can you transcend the limitations of your current existence and become a true Lifeform of the Crimson Thread.
[Note: Once the Gloomfrost Ascension is confirmed, your Soul Vessel will be irrevocably altered. Your Soul Vessel will now evolve solely toward the Crimson Thread’s direction. Your stats and skills will no longer be editable.]
[Would you like to begin the Gloomfrost Ascension? Yes / No]
“Crimson Thread Lifeform,” Red Thread whispered, her voice echoing across the interface as a wave of information surged through the system.
The vastness of the Crimson Thread’s domain was undeniable—its sheer scale dwarfed even the most expansive realms. The sheer presence of its power made Ku Zhiye feel small, yet strangely at peace. With the Crimson Thread’s might now fully awakened, the boundaries between himself and the greater world blurred.
Had he not reached this point, had he not ascended, Ku Zhiye would have faced the abyss of oblivion. But now, with the Crimson Thread’s power coursing through him, he was no longer just a man—he was becoming something greater.
Even so, he would not let go of a single chance to grow. Not one moment would be wasted. Not one opportunity for connection ignored.
Still, he hesitated. The Crimson Thread’s ascension was irreversible. Once begun, there would be no turning back.
With a deep breath, he pressed the “Confirm” key.
[You have initiated the Gloomfrost Ascension. You are now a Crimson Thread Lifeform.]
Silence.
Then, a wave of power erupted. The sky above him cracked open with a sound like a thousand thunderclaps, and a river of crimson light poured down from the heavens. Thousands of Face entities—over a hundred thousand—rose into the air, their forms glowing with radiant energy, their voices merging into a single, deafening chant.
A single beam of Crimson Glimmer struck him from above, engulfing his entire body. The power surged through his soul, pressing against his Soul Vessel with unstoppable force. Yet within that vessel, a storm brewed—one filled with countless fragments of essence, remnants of countless lives, echoes of his past.
This was the true nature of a Lifeform—its innate essence, its connection to the soul, its bond with the universe.
The Crimson Thread’s power surged forward, not as a weapon, but as a baptism.
You are no longer human.
You are no longer mortal.
You are becoming what you were meant to be.
A deep, resonant sound echoed in his mind, unceasing and eternal.
It is time.
Ku Zhiye felt his body dissolve into pure energy. His soul, once bound by flesh and bone, now flowed freely through the Crimson Thread’s domain. The power that had once been contained within his body—his strength, his will, his very essence—was now being reshaped, refined, reborn.
The world around him faded. Time itself slowed. The boundaries between life and death, between thought and existence, blurred.
In that moment, he saw it—everything.
The infinite threads of fate, the countless lives, the endless cycles of rebirth. He saw the truth of the Crimson Thread: it was not just a power, but a will, a destiny, a living force that shaped reality itself.
And then—
A surge.
The Crimson Thread’s power exploded outward, shattering the boundaries of the Soul Vessel. The vessel itself transformed—its surface now etched with glowing runes, its core pulsing with crimson light.
The power that had once been his now belonged to the Crimson Thread.
You are mine.
Ku Zhiye felt his soul expand, stretching across dimensions. The world around him shimmered, and he could see the true form of the Crimson Thread—its vast, endless network of light, binding all things together.
He was no longer just a man.
He was a god.
A single, silent thought echoed through his mind:
This is not the end. This is the beginning.
But then—
A warning.
The system flashed.
[Note: The Crimson Thread’s Soul Vessel must contain at least ten million gold coins in value. However, you cannot select just ten million gold coins—your entire bank must be liquidated. This is non-negotiable.]
Ku Zhiye blinked.
So this is the price.
He glanced at the screen.
Even if I have to sell everything… I will do it.
He pressed “Confirm” again.
The system responded instantly.
The Crimson Thread’s power surged.
A wave of crimson light swept across the world. The sky turned blood-red. The earth trembled. And in that moment, Ku Zhiye felt it—his soul was no longer just his own.
It belonged to the Crimson Thread.
He was no longer just Ku Zhiye.
He was the Crimson Thread.
And with that realization, the final step began.
The Ascension was complete.
