At this moment, a crystalline drop of water appeared in Sterl''s hand.


    The drop only needed to lightly touch his palm before it began to twist rapidly, as if it harbored some mysterious power.


    Before Sterl, the properties of this item were disyed:


    [Bionic Tear]+


    [Category: Special]


    [Description: There was once a divine authority who simted gods. He could transform himself into anything in the world. His simtions were unparalleled; even he himself and the object being simted could not distinguish between the real and the fake. Eventually, this divine authority disappeared amidst countless simtions.


    Only a few fanatics found these special tears at thest ce the divine authority appeared.]


    [Effect: You can use the Bionic Tear to create your double, possessing either all or part of your powers. This unit will appear as you in all detection effects.]


    [Note: This item can be upgraded. The current maximum mimicry power limit is at the divine level.]


    This was an exceptionally unique item.


    Sterl valued not only its immediatebat utility, allowing him to create a double of himself instantly, but also its potential for continuous upgrades.


    ording to the Hall of Valor''s store description, as long as this item was continually upgraded, it could even replicate him if he ascended to the level of great Divine Power.


    In terms of potential, this item''s value surpassed any in the special store. Sterl was well aware that enhancing the Bionic Tear to the level of great Divine Power would likely require a tremendous amount of resources.


    However, he could start by using more essible materials to upgrade the item. When it eventually became too costly to find rarer materials, he could simply stop upgrading!


    In other words, during the most resource-intensive phase, Sterl could essentially get a free ride!


    For Sterl, the most crucial aspect was that the Bionic Tear, once disguised, would appear as him in others'' detection effects.


    This meant he wouldn''t have to worry about sudden reconnaissance from other gods. He could perfectly disguise himself by sending out the Bionic Tear!


    Having selected his final reward, Sterl contentedly stored the Bionic Tear in his personal dimension for easy ess.


    It''s worth mentioning that he didn''t choose the [Arcane Law Comprehension Voucher] because he already had a Law Comprehension Voucher. Although it only allowed temporaryprehension, there was always a chance he might seed in that period.


    Besides, Law Comprehension Vouchers could be purchased with ordinary contribution points in limited quantities!


    Despite his eagerness to activate the Silent Domain, Sterl decided to first select the non-purchasable [Bionic Tear] and postpone his Lawprehension for the time being.


    At this moment, Sterl, feeling quite exhausted, copsed onto the sofa. The Trial of the Brave had indeed drained a lot of his energy.


    About half an hourter, he stood up, feeling revitalized.


    After operating on his mini-map for a bit, he swiftly left the manor and headed towards the Assembly Hall of the Hall of Valor.


    ...


    It took Sterl a little over an hour on foot to reach his destination. The so-called Assembly Hall was a grand hall located at the very center of the Hall of Valor.


    Sterl was rendered speechless at first sight. He had never seen such an extravagant structure. The hall stretched endlessly, disappearing into the horizon.


    Walls made of zed diamond were imbued with the aura of Divine Power, and the entire hall floated in mid-air, connected by rainbow bridges.


    Sterl took a moment to admire the view before decisively walking into the Assembly Hall.


    The interior was equally magnificent. The diamond floors, adorned with numerous rare and precious ss trimmings, served as lighting fixtures.


    What surprised Sterl even more was the sight of countless legends and demigods walking around the hall. These individuals, who were considered highly noble in the outside world, seemed rather ordinary here.


    Without wasting time observing others, Sterl quickly found an NPC.


    "Hello, I''d like to apply for an opportunity toprehend the Law."


    "Alright, please select the corresponding Law."


    ...


    Five minutester, Sterl walked out of the exchange room, holding a crystal in his hand. The item he held was—


    [Connected Crystal: Allows your consciousness to be transmitted into the Arcane Energy World. Transmission time is 24 hours. The time flow ratio between the Arcane World and the main world is 10:1.]


    [Note: Transmitting into the Arcane World via the crystal is extremely safe. You may at most lose a portion of your consciousness.]


    Indeed, this was used toprehend the Arcane Law.


    Sterl had initially thought that Lawprehension would involve physically transporting his body to another world. To his surprise, the Hall of Valor was so considerate. With the effect of the Connected Crystal, Sterl could freely explore the Arcane World!


    While pondering over this, he arrived at a special room.


    "I''d like to create a guild."


    Earlier, on his way here, Sterl had added a portion of divine heritage materials, evolving it to a radiant level.


    However, after evolution, the appearance and name of the guild materials hadn''t changed much.


    Sterl just felt that what once seemed like a dead object now appeared to be brimming with life and vitality.


    The NPC, a Valkyrie with a gentle face, sweetly said, "Alright, please submit the required money and materials for establishing the guild."


    "This is it," Sterl said slowly, taking out [Zeus''s Thunder].


    These functional NPCs were all under the jurisdiction of [Transcendence], ensuring that Sterl''s secrets would never be leaked.


    Upon seeing the radiant-level material, the Valkyrie''s eyes suddenly gleamed with light, and her expression turned nk. It was as if she had lost her senses. She said, "Alright, your application has been submitted."


    Sterl waited for about two minutes before the NPC spoke up again, "Your guild has been sessfully established. Please choose its name and icon."


    At that moment, a notification panel appeared before Sterl.


    [Congrattions on sessfully establishing a radiant-level guild!]


    [Please name your guild and choose its icon.]


    "Naming..." Sterl felt his indecisiveness creeping in again.


    He hesitated for a long time and finally settled on a name—"Twilight."


    The name was inspired by the Twilight of the Gods, especially since his materials came from the heritage of deities, essentially the remnants after the gods'' demise. The most famous legend about the fall of gods before he transmigrated was the Ragnar?k in Norse mythology.


    Moreover, "Twilight" sounded low-key and matched Sterl''s aesthetic perfectly.


    As for the icon, once he had the guild name, it was easy to decide. Sterl hand-drew an image of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, half-devoured by a ck dragon. This was a ssic symbol of Ragnar?k.


    After finalizing the guild name, a message finally popped up in front of Sterl.


    [Congrattions! "Twilight" has been officially established!]


    [You can now ess the guild store, guild contributions, and other data.]


    As a flood of information surged into his mind, Sterl quickly opened the guild panel and immediately sent invitations to Sosia and Sonis. The sister duo promptly epted and joined the guild without hesitation.


    Sterl then briefly reviewed the various functions of the guild.


    A level one radiant guild already had significant advantages.


    First and foremost was the guild buff that Sterl was most interested in—[Zeus''s Thunder: All guild members'' damage is increased by 15%. All guild members receive +30 to all attributes and +5% to all attributes.]


    "Is it really this impressive?"


    "Three special effects?" Sterl couldn''t help but marvel.


    As far as he knew, typical guild buffs usually offered just one enhancement effect. For instance, there was a famous A-level guild in the human race on Earth, and its level one buff provided a +10 to all attributes for all members, which was already considered quite good.


    Almost all of the top human warriors from Earth had to spend significant resources and leverage connections and rtionships to secure a spot in that guild.


    Yet, Sterl''s [Zeus''s Thunder] provided three powerful special effects! Increased damage output, fixed attribute bonuses, and percentage-based attribute boosts—these were all substantial enhancements!


    Sure,pared to Sterl''s other skill enhancements, the guild buff might seem minor and perhaps not worthy of the "radiant" title. But the primary function of a guild wasn''t just the buffs; it was about gathering yers to tackle instance bosses together.


    "The guild benefits are like the incremental gear enhancements in the online games I used to y in my past life."


    "Though the buffs aren''t massive, when maxed out, they''re still decent."


    "But achieving these minor gainses at a significant cost," Sterl mused.


    As for the other features, Sterl took a quick look.


    The guild contribution system essentially allowed yers to earn contributions through all their daily activities, including monster hunting, leveling up, andpleting quests.


    Once the contributions reached a certain level, the guild could be upgraded.


    Sterl even noticed rmended spots for farming contribution points—these spots highlighted special wild monsters and bosses in the Hall of Valor, which granted substantial contribution points when defeated.


    Then there was the guild shop system. [Transcendence] would bestow special items to the guild, but this feature would only unlock once the guild reached level three.


    Given the radiant status of his guild, Sterl suspected he might be able to purchase some extremely rare items from the guild shop.


    "So..."


    He pondered for a moment and quickly edited a private message.


    He needed Sosia and Sonis to spread the name of "Twilight" and recruit some members to farm contribution points for the guild.


    "Oh my gosh! Master! You really did it—a SSS-level guild!"


    "We''ll certainly live up to your expectations!"


    Before long, Sosia and Sonis responded with extremely excited private messages!


    Though they only enjoyed 40% of the benefits from [Zeus''s Thunder], the Twilight guild was still stronger than a typical SSS-level guild, but not by arge margin.


    Ignoring the two, Sterl decided to head to the other side of the Assembly Hall.
