**TITLE: She Bloomed Like Spring After Surviving a Winter No One Saw by Lillian Rosewood**
**Chapter 92: Enhancing the Purifying Pendant**
Even though Alden was acutely aware that securing blessings from ten Eastern Divine Spirits prior to his second class change was an exceptionally daunting task, he couldn’t shake the feeling that it was worth pursuing.
This quest presented two formidable challenges.
The first hurdle was the timing.
In the realm of Twilight of the Gods, the second class change occurred precisely at Level 50.
This meant that the highest level he could attain before undergoing this transformation was, indeed, Level 50.
Yet, Alden had never found levels to be a significant obstacle.
He reflected back to the chaotic days of his past, when he had made waves in a treacherous dungeon while still at Level 1.
The real difficulty lay in the stringent regulations imposed by the Astralon Empire.
From the hazy memories of his previous life, he recalled that players were strictly prohibited from leaving the confines of the Astralon Empire before their second class change, except under very specific circumstances.
This restriction added layers of complexity to his quest.
Attempting to gather blessings from ten Eastern Divine Spirits while confined within the boundaries of the Astralon Empire? That felt almost insurmountable.
The second challenge stemmed from the nature of the spirits themselves.
Alden had previously received blessings from Eastern Divine Spirits on two occasions, both from the Earth Goddess.
However, acquiring blessings from ten distinct Eastern Divine Spirits was a far cry from simply collecting ten blessings from any gods.
Moreover, despite having three blessings from different deities, they only counted as a single blessing towards his goal. This realization only compounded the difficulty of his task.
Yet, Alden’s resolve remained unshaken.
“I’ll have to give it my all to gather more blessings,” he declared, his expression turning serious.
Hailing from the East, he nurtured a fervent hope that the Ancient Eastern Empire could rise again.
As a seasoned player with the wisdom of his past life, Alden understood that reviving the Ancient Eastern Empire would grant him unparalleled advantages.
Though he could have exited the dungeon at this moment, he chose a different path.
Instead, he made his way back to the village.
—
As he stepped into the village, a wave of excitement washed over him as the villagers emerged to greet him.
Ozzie, taking the lead, stepped forward with a deep bow, his respect palpable.
“Brave adventurer, your strength surpasses my wildest imagination. You are welcome to select any three items from our village,” he proclaimed, his voice filled with admiration.
With a subtle gesture from Ozzie, a series of items were presented before him, each one glimmering with potential.
Alden’s eyes sparkled with interest.
He quickly spotted Isaac clutching a scroll that radiated a mysterious energy.
“Sky-Level Hidden Class: Poison Master,” he read, the words igniting a spark of intrigue within him.
While there were other hidden class rewards laid out before him, Alden merely cast a cursory glance at them.
After all, he was already well-versed in the methods of acquiring hidden classes.
Then, his attention was drawn to a small, tattered booklet that seemed to beckon him.
“The Fragmented Codex of Truths: Unknown.”
The description read: “Offers insight into the Laws of Ice. Studying it might allow you to reach the threshold of the Laws of Ice.”
Alden inhaled sharply, disbelief mingling with excitement.
Had he not possessed the memories of his previous life, he might have dismissed it as just another item.
Now, however, his hands trembled with anticipation.
This was the Codex of Truths—though incomplete, its value was immeasurable.
One of the pathways to achieving godhood lay in the arduous journey of ascension through enlightenment.
It was a path fraught with challenges, one that most would find nearly impossible to embark upon.
Yet here he was, standing before a dungeon that offered such a rare opportunity.
Alden raised an eyebrow once more, contemplating his options. He still possessed the Eternal Scroll and had yet to decide which weapon to enhance with it.
Finally, he settled on the Purifying Pendant.
Making it indestructible would grant him the freedom to act without restraint in the future.
Eighty-five percent immunity to controls was an extraordinary advantage at any level.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he declared, “Use the Eternal Scroll.”
The Purifying Pendant’s durability transformed from 100 to completely indestructible.
A smile of satisfaction spread across his face.
At first glance, the pendant might not have appeared formidable, lacking any offensive stats.
Yet Alden was acutely aware of just how outrageous an 85% immunity to control effects truly was.
He even found himself quietly pondering whether it could someday reach a full 100% immunity.
Weapon Evolution Scrolls were rare, but not exclusive to this village.
In the world of Twilight of the Gods, enhancing attributes became progressively more challenging as one advanced, though there were still limits.
Setting that aside, Alden turned his attention to selecting his third item.
Among the treasures displayed by the villagers, his gaze fell upon a Saint-Level Talent Awakening Stone.
While it might not hold much value for him personally, it could prove immensely beneficial for his companions.
Awakening high-level talents early on was no easy feat, making the stone a prized possession.
He surveyed the remaining items but found nothing else that piqued his interest.
After a moment of deliberation, he chose the Saint-Level Talent Awakening Stone as his third item.
“Mr. Lynch, these are the items I wish to claim,” he stated confidently.
Ozzie beamed at him. “Thank you, brave adventurer. Thanks to you, our village will soon see a revival.”
“Revival?” Alden echoed, a hint of surprise lacing his voice. “What do you mean by that?”
