43: Chapter 43 Creation Successful! Time Shadow Hunter!

Seeing the four characters "Four-Star Material," Su Lin was completely stunned.

He had originally thought that getting a two-star would be pretty good.

After all, the previous six draws were all one-star, and only the seventh draw produced a two-star.

Who would have thought that the very last draw would actually pop out a four-star!

However, Su Lin stared at the material description on the light screen, feeling slightly puzzled.

[space-time fragment (4-star): A tiny fragment washed out from the River of Time, its surface shimmering with the light and shadows of the past and future.]

The River of Time?

Wasn't that just a metaphor?

Describing the passage of time as a river flowing ceaselessly.

Could it be that in this world, there really is such a river?

However, in a world filled with extraordinary powers, Eerie Creatures, and even the actual existence of gods, it didn't seem impossible.

Most importantly, there was the power of space-time.

Just like the power of void, it was an extremely powerful conceptual and rule-based power in various fantasy works.

It was the kind of power of law that transcended elements and energy, enough to make even gods wary.

Although this was just a tiny fragment washed out from the River of Time.

But since it was a four-star, it definitely wasn't simple.

Su Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart, reviewed the lottery results from start to finish, and quickly started calculating.

Apart from the four-star space-time fragment and the two-star Shadow-Eating Beast core, the rest were all one-star.

However, the types of these one-star materials were quite interesting.

Spirit Origin Grass, blood lingzhi, Ice Flower, Lightning-Struck Wood, spirit ginseng, Body Tempering Stone...

They were almost all materials related to cultivation advancement.

Even if not used to create creatures, they were excellent for cultivation.

After he had finished constructing "himself" earlier, he had surged to the peak of the ninth rank in one go.

He was just worrying about lacking supplementary materials for his subsequent cultivation.

Now that he had obtained so many one-star materials, it was enough to last him for a while.

Thinking of this, Su Lin felt much better.

Then, his gaze fell on that two-star material.

[Shadow-Eating Beast core (2-star): A creature that lives by devouring shadows, with the devoured shadow essence concentrated within its core.]

Shadow essence, it sounded like it was related to powers like shadows, darkness, and gloom.

If combined properly, he might be able to create a shadow-type creature.

Su Lin continued to look down, his gaze sweeping over those one-star materials, before suddenly stopping on one of them.

[Shadow Hound Claw (1-star): The front claw of a Shadow Hound, containing a faint power of shadow tearing within the claw.]

The Shadow Hound was a low-level magical beast that lived in dark environments, known for its speed and stealth.

Shadow Hound Claw, Shadow-Eating Beast core.

These two materials, one contained the power of shadow tearing, the other concentrated shadow essence.

Their attributes were similar and complementary; combining them would likely trigger "Resonance Amplification."

Plus that four-star space-time fragment...

Su Lin's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

A vague concept had already emerged in his mind.

An assassin-type creature that possessed the power of space-time, could travel through shadows, and tear enemies apart with shadow power!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Su Lin took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.

"System, add the space-time fragment, the Shadow-Eating Beast core, and the Shadow Hound Claw to the creation materials!"

[Ding! Materials selected: space-time fragment (4-star) × 1, Shadow-Eating Beast core (2-star) × 1, Shadow Hound Claw (1-star) × 1.]

[Materials sufficient, proceed with creature creation?]

"Start creation!"

Su Lin had just finished speaking.

The three materials slowly floated up within the System Space light screen, suspended in the void.

Then, under Su Lin's mental guidance.

The space-time fragment lit up first, emitting a hazy silver-white light.

That light was like flowing mercury, or perhaps compressed time itself, slowly circulating in the void.

Immediately after, the Shadow-Eating Beast core suddenly exploded!

The dark purple energy seemed like a living thing, squirming, twisting, and contracting in the void, as if searching for something.

Finally, the Shadow Hound Claw disintegrated, turning into countless dark gray points of light.

Those points of light contained a sharp tearing power, like tiny blades, cutting fine cracks into the void.

The three materials, under Su Lin's mental guidance, began to slowly merge.

The silver-white space-time power, the dark purple shadow essence, and the dark gray tearing power.

The three streams of energy intertwined, surging, colliding, and merging within the System Space.

The System Space was radiant with light, energy surging violently.

Flames of various colors bloomed in the void, like magnificent fireworks.

But outside the System Space, in the rental apartment, not a single trace of aura leaked out.

This was the terrifying aspect of the System Space.

No matter how intense the energy reaction was inside, not the slightest bit could be perceived from the outside.

Absolutely safe, absolutely secret!

All of Su Lin's mental power was focused on those materials, his consciousness pouring in like a torrent, guiding the three powers to coalesce in the direction he had conceived in his mind.

What he wanted was an assassin.

An assassin who could come and go without a trace in the shadows, reaping enemies with the dual powers of time and shadow!

The light gradually dissipated.

A creature floated quietly in front of Su Lin.

Su Lin was stunned.

That was...

A cat?

No, not a cat.

It was about thirty centimeters long, covered in silver-gray fur, and fluffy.

Dark purple patterns could be faintly seen between its fur, like flowing shadows.

Its tail was very long, dragging out trails of silver-white afterimages when it swayed gently.

And what was most eye-catching was its eyes.

One of those eyes was silver-white, with stars seemingly circulating within the pupil.

The other was dark purple, the pupil as deep as an abyss, as if it could swallow all light.

At this moment, the little beast was tilting its head, using its heterochromatic pupils to curiously examine the surrounding environment.

Then, it opened its mouth and let out a—

"Awooo~"

The sound was milky and soft, like a plush toy acting coquettishly.

Su Lin: "???"

He stared at this cuteness-overloading little thing, completely speechless.

He had originally intended to create a cold, ruthless shadow assassin.

And the result was a cute, milky little beast?

Wasn't this contrast too big?

At the same time, the system's broadcast sounded, and a light screen unfolded in front of Su Lin.
