Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Awakening or not awakening.

If we set aside her identity as a shrine maiden at the Shiraishi Shrine, Su Lingbai actually prefers the latter.

She had always had a penchant for collecting exquisitely beautiful young women's bodies, and the flawless physique before her was a collection she had always dreamed of.

However, the ancestral precepts are hard to disobey.

The worst thing a person can do in life is to forget their roots.

Su Lingbai has always adhered to her principles and kept her promises, and would never do anything that violates her bottom line.

Moreover, even though Chu Ge is the world's most exquisite and perfect collectible, it is not as if she is indispensable to him.

At least in her eyes, collecting black-haired vicious dog girls is more interesting than white-haired vicious dog girls.

Speaking of Xu Wan, Su Lingbai has often visited her in the secret room over the past three years.

Every time they met, Xu Wan would constantly clamor for Su Lingbai to release her.

She always claimed that her skills had improved significantly and that she would definitely be able to defeat her opponent this time.

Faced with Xu Wan's repeated provocations, Su Lingbai always patiently complied.

If the other party wants a fight, then she will grant their request.

But life is cruel. While Xu Wan was getting stronger, Su Lingbai never stopped cultivating.

She had entered the Saint Realm long ago, and her cultivation had been steadily increasing.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Lingbai has now reached the Great Perfection of the Saint Realm and has even begun to explore the next level of cultivation.

For Xu Wan to reach this level, it would take anywhere from a few years to several decades, or even a lifetime.

Even if she manages to break through to a higher realm in the future, Su Lingbai will have already completed a new transformation and will never remain stagnant.

Therefore, in Su Lingbai's view, Xu Wan has no chance of defeating him in this lifetime.

Sorry, Xu Wanjiang.

You should just stay safely in your glass cage.

Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue.

I will always love you.

Before long, the frozen girl on the ground finally stirred.

The ice that had formed around her slowly melted away, and her delicate eyelashes trembled gently, as if she were about to awaken.

"What a pity."

Su Lingbai sighed softly, her sickly eyes dimming slightly.

Things rarely go as planned, and everything was developing in a direction she didn't want.

Aside from Su Lingbai, Xiao Caihua, who was standing to the side, also did not want Chu Ge to wake up.

She had always disliked Chu Ge, simply because he had once eaten her tail.

Little Caihua secretly plotted that if Chu Ge failed to revive this time and fell into a deep sleep forever, would she be able to cook her corpse?

Making it into braised pork, or roasted milk... both seem quite good.

After all, this body was very well preserved.

Although the zombie meat has been sealed in an ice coffin for three years, if you handle it carefully, roast it until the skin is golden and crispy, and then sprinkle it with cumin and chili powder, it will definitely be incredibly tempting.

She once had such an absurd dream, and upon waking up, she immediately approached Su Lingbai to make the suggestion.

"Su Lingbai, you're in charge of providing the ingredients, and I'll cook them. We'll split the profits 70/30 after grilling, and you can choose which part you want to eat first."

"How about it? I'll take the loss."

But Su Lingbai would always refuse outright, and would even lecture and reprimand her, strictly forbidding her from having any designs on Chu Ge's corpse.

He even gave her a stern warning:

"Little cauliflower, I'm warning you. If you dare to sneak into the ice coffin at night again, pour chocolate syrup on Chu Ge, and lick her like an ice cream cone, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

This cannot be entirely blamed on Xiaocaihua.

She was a monster by nature, bloodthirsty and living on flesh and blood.

The more powerful a creature's body is, the more irresistible it is to her, making it impossible for her to resist her desires.

To be honest, if it weren't for Su Lingbai's constant suppression and control, Chu Ge would probably have become Xiao Caihua's food long ago.

A huge crowd, and one person at the septic tank.

Now that Chu Ge's awakening is a foregone conclusion, Xiao Caihua has completely given up on that idea.

In the courtyard, the signs of the ice corpse girl's resurgence became increasingly obvious.

Her skin, which had been frozen stiff, became soft and delicate, almost translucent. She exhaled a faint breath slowly from her nose, her chest rose and fell steadily, and the soft sound of her heartbeat echoed around her.

What followed was an immense, soaring power.

The magic power slowly increased, growing from one magic core to two, and then progressing layer by layer starting from magic crystals.

His cultivation level increased at an astonishing speed. In just a short while, Chu Ge returned to his former peak and reached the level of a mid-level mage with six magic crystals.

Within the spiritual world, vast magical power surged and churned, and the seventh magic crystal instantly condensed, its growth momentum showing no signs of stopping.

The eighth, ninth, thirteenth, twenty-third, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth coins.

Only after all thirty magic crystals had condensed and taken shape did the violent and surging magic power gradually subside.

Outside, Su Lingbai clearly sensed Chu Ge's sudden surge in strength, and a look of obvious astonishment flashed in her eyes.

This terrifying rate of improvement is simply absurd, comparable to riding a rocket.

However, she quickly understood the reason.

In order to create Chu Ge's special physical body, she almost slaughtered all the high-level demonic beasts on the entire Witch Star, hunted countless abyssal mutants, and accumulated a terrifyingly large amount of crystal core resources.

Moreover, it took an extremely precious ginkgo fruit to finally create this perfect body.

Now that Chu Ge has broken through the ice and revived, this physical body, built with countless crystal cores, has begun to nourish itself from its very origin.

A continuous stream of pure magic power, like a vast ocean, surged into her spiritual sea, constantly helping her condense magic crystals and solidify her cultivation.

In the spiritual world, Chu Ge's consciousness stood quietly, gazing at the thirty magic crystals floating in the air before him.

She has fully awakened and can retract her consciousness at any time, return to her physical body, get up, and open her eyes.

But she wasn't in a hurry at all.

Now that all thirty magic crystals have been condensed, she plans to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to try to break through the barrier and enter a higher realm.

Chu Ge still remembered that when he was at the East China Sea Magic Association, Lin Dong had talked about the rules for high-level breakthroughs.

To advance to the rank of High-Rank Archmage, one must fuse all the magic crystals within their body into one, transforming into one of the three: Magic Sun, Magic Moon, or Magic Star.

Once a breakthrough is successfully achieved, one can complete a realm leap and gain the opportunity to awaken magic once again.

Furthermore, in future battles, one can condense the corresponding Celestial Demon Armor to greatly enhance their combat power.

However, the primary condition for successfully completing a breakthrough is to gain the approval of the origin of one of the three phases of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

If one cannot gain the approval of the celestial phenomena, one will be permanently trapped in this realm, with no possibility of further progress in cultivation.

There are no shortcuts on this path to breakthrough, nor are there any past experiences to draw upon.

Chu Ge was unaware of the secret to breaking through.

In desperation, she could only resort to the most clumsy method: forcibly attempting to break through the barrier.

With a thought, she mobilized all the magic power in her body, drawing the thirty magic crystals together towards the center, intending to forcibly complete the fusion and observe what changes would occur.

Drawn by the magic, countless magic crystals rapidly converged and melted, transforming into streams of rich magical fluid that intertwined and merged with each other.

When all the magic was condensed into a single whole, the fluid began to tremble slightly, and it was about to complete its final transformation.

"Is it going to succeed?"

Chu Ge muttered to himself in a low voice, but deep down he vaguely sensed that things were not so simple.

Soon, her premonition was confirmed.

The torrent of magic that was about to solidify suddenly scattered and reverted to individual magic crystals, returning to their original positions.

Witnessing the defeat, Chu Ge's expression remained calm and unmoved.

She has gone through three lifetimes. In the first two lifetimes, she was just an ordinary person with a weak body like an ant, unable to even withstand high voltage current.

Having finally been reborn into this extraordinary world she had always dreamed of, she firmly believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would definitely be rewarded.

But reality repeatedly dealt her harsh blows.

Everyone online can successfully awaken their magical talent, but I can only secretly envy them and feel a sense of loss.

In the end, unable to change the situation, he could only vent his frustration by smashing the coffee table with a punch.

In the past, she was ultimately just a weak person who was powerless and furious, utterly useless.

If it weren't for a chance encounter while browsing the web that year, where I accidentally clicked on a strange post and met that mysterious skeleton, I wouldn't have been able to complete my special awakening.

She will probably only be an ordinary person who accomplishes nothing in her life, and will resign herself to her fate of going to work in a factory to make a living at an early age.

Even now, standing at the top of the Eternal Star Mage ranks, Chu Ge remains constantly clear-headed and reminds himself of these things.

Chu Ge, you have always been just an ordinary person, nothing special.

When it comes to academics, you can't even learn English and math well. You were able to go to high school in your past life because of twelve years of compulsory education.

In terms of cultivation, you are of average talent, with no extraordinary abilities. You even have a larger appetite than most people, and you are certainly not some special protagonist destined by heaven.

The old man with the ring, the exclusive system, the peerless martial arts technique, the ancient artifact, the innate divine body... You have never had any of these opportunities that protagonists are usually given.

You have never had the right to compare yourself to others.

Throughout her journey, she has relied on arduous physical training and drug injections, methods that are often scorned by the world.

All that accompanied her were her unwavering dedication, her silent hard work, and her steadfast and unyielding Daoist heart.

Whenever she was in dire straits and on the verge of collapse, there was never anyone she could rely on, nor anyone she could confide in.

No one in this world has ever truly understood her.

In her past life, her parents, classmates, teachers, and even government officials all regarded her as a mentally unstable outcast.

It is a true story that she jumped from the sixth floor with a 300-kilogram steel backpack on her back.

But why is it that no one is willing to believe that she is a normal person?

Why must she be seen as a madwoman, as an alien monster?

Now, with repeated failures in his high-level breakthroughs, Chu Ge has come to a complete understanding of himself.

In the end, she was just too ordinary.

"...If I were one of those destined protagonists, I would probably be able to break through successfully on my first try."

In her inner world, the white-haired girl smiled faintly with self-mockery, but she did not feel discouraged in the slightest.

She activated her magic again and made a second attempt.

Still a failure.

We tried again, but the result was exactly the same.

The girl remained calm and composed throughout, without the slightest sign of anxiety or frustration.

After trying a full hundred times, all of which ended in failure, Chu Ge suddenly had an epiphany.

"The Song of Chu"

She called her own name softly, her tone sharp, questioning herself vehemently.

"Does that mean you'll never be able to break through to a higher realm without the approval of the Sun, Moon, and Stars?"

"Throughout your life, you have acted freely and unrestrainedly, and your true self has always been under your own control."

"My own solitary path has only just begun; must I be bound by the rules of heaven and earth, and stop here?!"

In an instant, the girl's eyes sharpened, and her aura of arrogance rose in layers. She raised her head and shouted loudly.

"No one will support my lofty ambitions; I will brave the snow to reach the mountain peak myself!"

"Are those mere illusory stars and moons, hanging high in the sky and existing solely by their own light, worthy of judging my realm and presumptuously bestowing their approval upon me?"

She raised her palm and slammed it down hard on her forehead, instantly shattering and dissipating her consciousness.

"If the three realms of Heaven and Earth refuse to acknowledge me, then I will prove my own path and validate myself through my own efforts!"
