Infinite Potential System

The two Janus blinked a few times in surprise, then looked at one another despite being on the opposite side of the World from each other. Based on the ever-changing expression of one of the Janus, William guessed that they were deciding how to handle the situation.

They turned back to face him. Your request is within our power, but we offer a compromise.

William tilted his head, What is it?

Your rewards will be given in the form of Spirit Jade if the request cannot be duplicated, since the requests of others might be outside our abilities to produce multiple of the same reward.

William pondered for a moment, before doing his best to conceal his thoughts and communicating with the System.

System, what do you think?

-This is an acceptable offer.

Then I accept. William replied with a light smile. He was thankful that the two powerful creatures he came across were magnanimous and gave him a way to survive.
Stay tuned with empire

The Janus nodded and their World started spinning once more, drawing further and further away as William traveled through the Ascension Portal. Their mere existence was a hint at just how unfathomable William's future opponents were, and it made him excited.

He pulled his gaze away from the walls of the portal, opting not to test his luck with any other powerful beings during this interim phase. In the meantime, William consumed all of his Elemental Fruits in stock that had yet to reach a thousand, fully comprehending the Fire, Space, and Gravity Elements in the process.

Additionally, the Time and Illusion Elements were 90.1 percent comprehended, and Chaos was at 65.1 percent. Not only would William be able to teleport much greater distances with Space, but he also had much greater control over the other four Legendary Elements.

I really hope I can get more Elemental Farm slots though. Eight Element Farms isn't nearly enough...

William spent a million Potential Points to Ascend his Polarity Resistance Talent, and even managed to bring out his Alchemy equipment to refine a Tier 10 Appearance Restoration Pill for the Aging Resistance Talent.

Thankfully no outsiders saw William floating through the Ascension Portal while stirring a cauldron, because weird would be an understatement.

System, I can summon Atticus to me, right? he asked.

-Not right now, but when you exit the portal, you can. It's too dangerous to pull your Companion Beasts into this area.

William was relieved. He planned to upgrade Atticus and Uri to the next Rank as soon as possible so they could join him in the Celestial Planes.

There was no need for them to go through the stringent process of taking the Ascension Portal, but it made William wonder if the Summoning Element was secretly an overpowered Element, or if he was severely underestimating the power of the others.

After all, to summon a creature from the Mortal Realms to the Celestial Planes directly, it was like a better version of the Space Element but specialized to Companion Beasts. If the other Elements were just as strong, William had much to learn yet.

Since he still seemed to have a good amount of time left, William spent a load of Potential Points upgrading the less useful Talents like Stone Skipping, Drawing, Sleight of Hand, and Misdirection to X-Rank directly.

He thought about upgrading his useful Talents like Weapon Sharpness, but William decided against it last-minute. It was better to test his current combat strength first, then upgrade his Talents gradually to stay low-profile.

Even if William encountered a tough situation, he was confident in the various escape techniques he had acquired over the years. Not to mention that his Illusion Affinity was almost fully comprehended.

William waited in silence for a few more hours, occasionally peeking outside the portal walls to check his progress. During his most recent look, a massive expanse of land had become visible, its area separated into dozens of irregular regions that had abstract land formations.

One region in particular was illuminated by a dull purple light that seemed to come from underground, floating islands scattered as far as the eye could see. When the portal passed by this region, William spotted a few dozen purplish crystalline structures that made William drool in delight.

He looked left and right at the other Regions, finding that they sported completely different but just as valuable natural treasures that seemed like they were just waiting to be snatched up.

Loot! Loot everywhere! Who said I have bad luck? This is paradise! William gleamed as his feet finally touched down in a large grassland where everything was dyed silver. No, wait. That wasn't right.

The grass was literally silver! It was made out of metal, that resembled silver perfectly! Even the particle arrangement was similar, and its purity was incredible!

William didn't hesitate to pluck a few dozen blades of grass, but a long series of System notifications popped up at that moment. He was forced to halt his work and scroll through the System to see what the spam was all about.
