Rising god

There were seven collections that could actively boost his strength in the ways he needed.

And the first was one he also had no choice but to bring out: the Absolute Cut and Destruction Technique.

Well, the name was entirely made up by him. After all the book was so old, even its original title had been wiped away. And despite his bad naming sense, the use of the technique couldn’t be more straightforward. By wielding the will to cut, one could perform devastating attacks.

Among them, ’Cleave’ was only the first technique in the book, and the rest were no less destructive. At one point, the text even described cutting a mountain in two with a mere thought.

One could say, this technique was largely the reason he was already in the 5th star.

The second book looked neater than the first by years, meaning its meaning was still useful in the world.

’Aging Reversal Technique,’ Baines muttered as he flipped through the book. Rather than detailed techniques like the first, this contained teachings of how he came to achieve aging.

The creator described how he was actually studying decay. Initially, he focused on understanding the process of rot and the decay of organisms. Eventually, he discovered how to reverse it.

In time, he realized he wasn’t merely reversing decay... he was aging it himself.

With the right understanding, one could use aura alone to induce aging in matter, or even life.

He taught his glorious realization and teachings to his family; however, along the way, the clueless family limited it to just retaining their young age. Eventually, they sold the technique they already knew by heart in an auction to settle their debts, and the only one to bid was an ancestor of the Baek family.
