Chapter 110: The Mighty Immortal-Class Hero
After confirming that all attribute points had been allocated without omission, Chu Cheng spoke in a deep voice:
“Confirm fusion!”
The light orb touched the center of his forehead and instantly merged into him.
In the next moment, a dazzling brilliance burst from his pupils. His body involuntarily rose, slowly floating in the air as boundless flames erupted from every orifice. His flesh became translucent, bathed in golden flames of forging heat.
“Notification: You have successfully merged the Time Imprint and obtained the hero legacy [Eternal Sovereign].”
“Notification: You have successfully acquired the hero class [Eternal Sovereign] and received the hero template (Immortal).”
“Hero Template (Immortal): An Immortal-tier hero template possessing strength far beyond ordinary humans. Attribute adjustments are as follows:”
“+1 to all attributes per level.”
“1 point Constitution = 20 Health Points, 20 Stamina Points.”
“1 point Strength = 2 Base Physical Attack, 20 kg Carrying Capacity.”
“1 point Agility = 2 Speed, 1 point Agility = 2 Ranged Attack.”
“1 point Perception = 2 meters Perception Range.”
“1 point Intelligence = 20 Mana Points, 5 points Intelligence = 2% Magic Damage Bonus.”
“1 point Spirit = 2 Mana Regeneration per minute.”
“Immunity to instant death, diseases, soul possession, and aging; Time Power at 100.”
“Notification: You have successfully acquired the hero class [Eternal Sovereign] and gained the unique hero talent [Eternity].”
“Hero Talent — Eternity: Immune to all time-related effects.”
“Trait One: Eternal Cycle — Every 30 seconds, Time Power cleanses the user, removing all negative statuses.”
“Trait Two: Eternal Life — Anchors the self to a specified state; upon death, instantly returns to the anchored state and can resurrect at the designated location. Cooldown: one month.”
“Notification: Effects are undispellable and have rule-level priority.”
“Notification: You have successfully acquired the hero class [Eternal Sovereign]. Please select one of the following five hero skills as your first hero skill.”
“Hero Skill One: Time Roaming (Awakened) — Enter the river of time, appearing anywhere within a 1000-meter radius. Upon arrival, deal an attack to all enemies within a 5-meter radius that triggers all attack effects without fail, and cancel all damage and negative effects sustained in the last 3 seconds.”
“Cooldown: 15 seconds. Consumes 15 Time Power.”
“Notification: No matter how long you remain in the river of time, only a moment passes in the outside world.”
“Notification: This skill is undispellable and has rule-level priority.”
“Hero Skill Two: Time Alteration (Awakened) — Passive. Under the influence of Time Power, all skill and spell durations are increased by 100%, and the duration of all negative effects received is reduced by 25%.”
“Notification: This skill is undispellable and has rule-level priority.”
“Hero Skill Three: Time Lock (Awakened) — Passive. Attacks imbued with Time Power have a chance to lock the target in time for 1 second.”
“Notification: Targets locked in time cannot recover and all attacks against them are guaranteed critical hits that ignore defense and magic resistance.”
“Notification: This skill is dispellable and has rule-level priority.”
“Hero Skill Four: Time Exchange (Awakened) — Designate a target to drain 1 point of all attributes per second. After 30 seconds, upon reaching the limit, deal true damage equal to the drained attributes multiplied by 10. Drained attributes are retained for 10 minutes or returned upon the target’s death.”
“Cooldown: 30 minutes. Consumes 10 Time Power.”
“Notification: This skill is dispellable and has rule-level priority.”
“Hero Skill Five: Time Banishment (Awakened) — Designate a target to be banished outside of time. The target must pass three successive checks for toughness, reflection, and willpower; failure of any check results in banishment.”
“Cooldown: 30 seconds. Consumes 5 Time Power.”
“Notification: This skill is dispellable and has rule-level priority.”
After quickly reviewing the information, Chu Cheng hesitated only five seconds before making his choice:
“Time Roaming!”
An extraordinary skill combining offense, defense, infiltration, survival, and escape—truly a divine technique.
He made his selection; on the interface, Time Roaming lit up while the other four hero skills dimmed.
But this was not the end. After Time Roaming disappeared from the interface, a new notification appeared:
“Your level has increased to 20. Please select one of the following five hero skills as your second hero skill.”
The previously dimmed four hero skills brightened again, and a new hero skill was added:
“Hero Skill Five: Sands of Time — Condense a grain of time sand. Use on yourself or allies to immediately return to your best state within the past 60 seconds; use on enemies to force them back to their worst state within the past 60 seconds.”
“Cooldown: 15 minutes. Consumes 5 Time Power.”
“Notification: This skill is dispellable and has rule-level priority.”
“Time Lock.”
A passive stun — a godly skill needing no explanation.
Though the others were tempting, only one could be selected at a time; the rest would have to wait.
Regardless of hero rank, hero skills are granted every 10 levels—at 10, 20, 30, and 40—totaling four hero skills before reaching the transcendent rank at level 50.
All hero skills below the transcendent tier are awakened level; upon promotion to transcendent, all upgrade to transcendent level. If ascending to legendary rank, naturally all upgrade to legendary level.
Having finished selecting hero skills, Chu Cheng immediately chose where to allocate attribute points.
There was little change from before; focus remained on Constitution, Strength, and Agility, with Intelligence and Spirit deemed less useful.
He had 235 free attribute points: 100 points each to Constitution and Strength, and the remaining 35 points to Agility.

“Huh? Why isn’t it Transdimensional Traveler?”
Only after examining his rebuilt attribute sheet did Chu Cheng belatedly realize the anomaly.
“Could it be...”
“Because of my golden finger effect, I changed from Transdimensional Traveler to the so-called Eternal Sovereign?”
Chu Cheng pinched his chin, increasingly convinced this was the case.
This was good news—Eternal Sovereign was undoubtedly stronger than Transdimensional Traveler.
Scanning the attribute panel, even though the epic talents Transcendent Constitution and Transcendent Strength were lost, the raw numbers were stronger thanks to the Immortal-tier hero template adjustments.
He was now many times more powerful than before.
Moreover, the Immortal-tier hero embodied a higher level of strength, with more potent skills and talents, its overall power completely overshadowing mid- to low-tier heroes.
