Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Pill Emperor announced the start of the examination. Hundreds of people rushed ahead and started climbing the tower.

He and everyone else failed to notice that Elliot was peeking glance at the Pill Emperor.

\'With those eyebrows and that face, this man should work in a martial art or a Chinese sword drama as the main character. What is he doing here, ah?\'

After throwing his heartfelt feelings for the person he had just met, Elliot walked ahead with his hands on the back of his head.

Everyone had already started climbing the mountain.

He was the last person to start moving his butt.

He was at the very end of the line, making the elders and the Pill Emperor who was watching the entrance examination disregard him entirely.

Elliot started whistling as he stepped on the first stair. He climbed up the first ten steps with ease. The only thing Elliot felt wrong was that his weight had increased by 10 kilograms for some mystical reason. He kept on climbing while whistling.

His walking style carried a lazy charm to it, but with each step, he passed by ten people.

Others were breathing raggedly and slowing down considerably as their weights increased, but Elliot kept walking at the same pace from the beginning to the one-hundredth step. By this time, his weight had increased by nearly a hundred kilograms.

A man, a step above Elliot, collapsed and fell to his knees. He was wearing luxurious clothes. His hair was as long as a woman\'s. He had 39 rings on his fingers; each was a spatial storage device. He also had a belt, a pouch, a crown, and a hairpin with a vast space inside them. A single look at him told Elliot that this man was wealthy, and as this illusory world was absolutely real, having cash on his hands would only help him greatly.

Elliot walked past the man whose looks screamed that he was a golden goose, reached a step above him, stopped, turned around, and extended his hands towards him.

The man dressed in luxury thought of Elliot as a kind-hearted person who wanted to help him stand up.

Thus, he placed his fragile and slim hands on his.

He waited and waited, but Elliot didn\'t help him up.

The spiritual crows cawed.

The trees withered up.

The sun shifted place with the moon.

The person he thought was going to help didn\'t make a move.

In the last few moments, Dozens of people had moved past them.

The one at the very top had already reached the 333rd step!

Elliot rolled his eyes, understanding that the other party had misunderstood him.

"Give me whatever treasure you have, and as long as I determine that I can sell them for a lot, I will carry you to the top of the staircase," Elliot said out loud.

"Brother, are you putting up a pretense, or is this really too easy for you?" Young Shelby, who was a member of the spirit race and had wings on his back, looked at Elliot\'s carefree smile and compared it to his beaten down self that was not only panting but also sweating profusely and, after a while, came to a conclusion that either Elliot was acting or there was a significant difference of strength between them.

"You better decide whether you want to surpass everyone else by giving up your wealth or not. You know, there are other rich guys in this area. I can always go to them and offer them the same deal." Elliot said with a plain face.

In truth, he didn\'t need to waste his time with this person. It\'s just that out of everyone here; he was the richest! So, striking a deal with him would make him earn a lot.

"Okay, okay, if you can really do that, I will give you everything on me," Thomas said.

"Everything?" Elliot looked at him up and down a few times and estimated how more money he would be scoring by helping a little chicken reach the top before 998 other people.

"Except for my clothes." Thomas hurriedly added as he felt that the greedy goblin with no feathers or wings would strip him naked and leave him with not even his underwear.

"Deal!" Elliot shook his hand and threw him over his shoulder like a bean bag!

"Can\'t you treat this lord with a little bit more respect?"

"Sure, from now on, I will give you a warning before doing anything," Elliot said.

Lord Thomas smiled.

Elliot didn\'t make his move. He used twenty thousand units of the essence of life to create two more celestial energy channels in his legs.

[Your energy capacity has increased to around 4000 units.]

[You\'ve gained the ability to discharge energy out of your legs and feet.]

[You\'ve gained the skill [Instant acceleration!]]

[Instant Acceleration allows you to gain an increase in your speed instantly.]

Elliot knew he would gain this skill, and that\'s why he created them. Two thousand more units of mana filled them. Now, by discharging a large volume of energy from his feet, he could blast himself to the top of the mountain in a very short time!

Seeing that his ride hadn\'t stepped on its accelerators, Lord Thomas felt that he got scammed, that his ride was spewing out lies to fool him.

"Bro, why aren\'t you moving?" He couldn\'t help but wish the words of this ride to be true.

The very next moment, Elliot\'s warning sounded in Lord Thomas\'s ears.

"Brace yourself and hold me tight."

Right after saying that, Elliot activated instant acceleration, causing 4000 units of mama that was equal to 40000 units of magic power to surge out of his feet and propel his body upwards and forwards!

"What are you going to DOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!"

Lord Thomas hadn\'t even finished his words when he felt gales of wind slapping his left and right and turning his vision blurry. By the time he got a clear look at his surroundings, he had realized that the celestial mountain had turned into a tiny dot in his vision!

"EHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Lord Thomas\'s eyes widened like saurcers.

"Guess I overdid it a little, haha!" Elliot laughed and plunged down towards the top of the mountain!
