"Hey, system."

[Yes, Host.]

"Can you recreate the table of stats to power level ratio in the form of a tab?" he asked, and quickly, a new set of panels appeared.

[Stats to Power Level Ratio Tab]

Initial Eternity Stage : Perfection Eternity Stage→ Power Level Ratio: 500 : 1,000

Initial Apocrypha Stage : Perfection Apocrypha Stage→ Power Level Ratio: 1,000 : 10,000

Initial Exignis Stage : Perfection Exignis Stage→ Power Level Ratio: 10,000 : 50,000

"Right now, the majority of my physical stats are at 10,000."

"Having lost my Apex and Aetheris Energy cultivation. It's now accurate that I'm fully at the Perfection Stage of Apocrypha—or the Initial Level of Exignis."

"But if I activate the upgraded Beyonder Dragon skill, I should be placed at the Perfection Exignis Stage power level," Ryuk muttered.

In his heart, there was a faint shock at how much the technique could make him grow, but in response, he clenched his fist even tighter, when the realization hit him.

Losing his two original bloodlines didn't make him weaker.

No—It made him stronger, and gave him a chance to embark on a new and stable path of cultivation and growth toward power.

But he reigned in the feeling, focusing on the caution introduced.

"But the skills also drain a large amount of Hurricane Energy, and could drain even my life force if used without it."

"I need to be more careful about that, since I have no idea if the new bloodline in me replenishes my life essence—or if I will need the previous two to get one."

"Better to play it safe," Ryuk thought silently to himself.

How many people in Ammamora were at the Exignis Stage, talkless of the Perfection of it?

He couldn't name one but himself, and that gave him deep confidence.

'I'll also need to check it out soon,' he thought, before moving to the second skill he got from the Beyonder Dragon—One that interested him the most.

"Echo Library… The technique seemed to lean more into information about the Hurricane Energy," he mused, the corner of his gaze looking at the shimmering purple tattoo around him.

He had a lot of questions about it, and for that reason, he moved away from his sitting position, lying properly on the bed, head turned to the ceiling.

His heartbeat slowed down, and then his lips moved.

"Activate Echo Library."

The moment the words were spoken, the shimmering purple in his eyes and tattoos lit up brilliantly. Then, his eyes slowly shut, although his purple tattoos remained, gleaming with brilliant light.

Ryuk felt himself dragged away from his conscious body and pulled into the darkness, but it didn't persist for very long. Soon, he opened his eyes to a familiar sight.

It was a void—dark, but with motes of shimmering purple and white hanging around.

"Isn't this my soul space?" he wondered aloud as he looked around, but was quite surprised when he didn't find her here.

The bloodline manifestation of the Beyonder Dragon was nowhere to be found, revealing to Ryuk that perhaps this place was a separate area of the soul space.

Turning his gaze around, there didn't seem to be anything special about the place. Just the Void and the mingling lights of white and purple.

But that was only until he raised his head up—and watched as two objects floated downward toward him.

In this empty Void, they were more than eye-catching, and Ryuk took two steps backward and watched the objects eventually arrive before him, pausing at his eye level.

"Are these… grimoires?" he mused to himself, looking at the objects.

And truly, both were hard-covered books—better named grimoires.

On one of the books, there was the cover of a snow wasteland—One which was so familiar to Ryuk, his heart shook.

A frosty wasteland, with towering mountains, and the faint runic symbol that was on the floor of the wasteland—resembling a frost wyvern form.

"This…"

"This is my Frost Domain Expansion — Winter's Solace, image," he realized.

And then, he turned his gaze to the second grimoire.

This one was in a pitch-black cover, but in this pitch darkness, there was the silhouette of a broken star held by gigantic chains, along with a throne situated beneath.

The image was one Ryuk could never forget.

"And this is my Void Domain Expansion – Throne of the Dying Star, image,"

"Could it be…?" he wondered, and that was when the golden panel flashed before him.

[New Skill Unlocked — Echo Library]

[Description: The Echo Library is a metaphysical construct embedded in your Soul Star, a special area of the soul space.

It stores resonance memories — echoes of energies, elements, and skills that left a significant imprint on your soul. One of which is your Frost and Void energy, as you are still bonded with Isha and Void, allowing for the imprint to remain.

Although you can no longer circulate Apex Frost or Void Energy natively...

You may still access their core signatures through resonance.

Warning: Activation requires vivid memory of the element's feel, structure, or technique.

Through the principle of Imitation, your Hurricane Essence may emulate abilities stored in the Echo Library.]

[In short: If you remember the art, skills, or technique clear enough, and it is imprinted and anchored to your soul, you can imitate, and hence use it.]
