Herald of Progress

Method:

Machine Transcendence Manual- an amazing method for my technological goals, it focuses on making and tinkering on technology, and can help create components from scratch, really great for restarting technology after all of the logistic chains were broken by the apocalypse.
Akashic Ascension Records-increased information processing, parallel minds, mind constructs, mind protection just great utility, and will help with further technological development and overall management of organizations.

Blessings

Heaven-blessed-very powerful hax ability
Merchants-guile – works amazing with the bazar, overall deal making and economic management, might even be able to introduce a planned economy trough sheer supply and demand prescience.
Jade Beauty-superhuman good looks and charisma extremely powerful for organization building
Third eye-might help figure out things and just overall efficiency buff for techniques
Protagonist aura-free companion and just an overall buff for my allies, also helps to find people that can make good allies, which combined with charisma buffs should be a lot easier
Seventh sense-great synergy with heaven-blessed both finding the good thing and pretty much ensures survival just by dodging the predicted danger, might be amped by third eye
Innovative-innovation amp should help with developing tech as it boost regular innovation too even if its too a lesser degree and will help with utility techniques
Deceitful trickster-great stealth and even more social amps
Communication expert-perfected information transfer, more social amps, people reading
Mastermind-magical deals are powerful, extra intelligence, multitasking and scheming abilities great for organization managment
Right to rule-loyalty and amazing organization management
Wise Elder-great at uplifting allies and organization members, further loyalty buff, will be able to mass produce technicians for my technological development goals
Power of friendship-it’s the power of friendship, more buffs for allies

Treasures

Portable workshop-high grade tools for auxiliary techniques production
Essence Furnace-great for creating high quality materials
Spliced tree-duplicate high quality material
Market ticket-earn tons of cash by selling produced goods and then buy materials to manufacture more
Extradimensional library-just knowledge, for more tech and for auxiliary techniques

Grand inheritance

Auxilliary master-free tech and auxiliary techniques knowledge, and godlike crafting talent
Lost legacy-a lot of good material for crafting, free blessings, material farming, speeded up training
Void Body-best way to fuck over the RE powerlevels, the great equalizer just nerf all of my enemies to my weak level, and then just defat them trough superior tech, above my own grade auxiliary items and allies that are stronger than me. More buffs to allies.

Companions

Marie Su-very powerful, amicable personality, synergetic goals or just wanting to live
Alva-great for manpower, will help with the undead issue, decent person, synergetic goals
Lyra-powerful individual, seems like a normal decent person, they just need some help
Ajax-possibly similar cultivation method to help out with tech, fellow old earth enjoyer, innocent good person
Yesod-fellow craft person, we can probably help each other with auxiliary techniques, just a chill bro

Events

Hive queen- an ally with good manpower and organizational abilities
Place of power- some extra populace, some cultivation too I guess
The horde- more individuals to rebuild society, zombies for Alvas horde
Stepford village-another powerful ally
Profundity in violence-possible extra tech techniques

Complications:

Parasite-little consequence as I mostly rely of auxiliary techniques and allies anyways and don’t really plan to leave earth, curable eventually
Fated nemesis(Richard Cox)-potential ally???
Deviated form(angel)-little of consequence when your superhumanlty beautiful and charismatic and when the mutation is quite aesthetic
Pseudo Fallen-I am a coward that avoids any scenario that would trigger it, so not that consequential, eventually masterable
Incursion-potential ally??? Worst case scenario use Void Body to nerf them to my level and my allies take care of them
Youthful-further power nerfs don’t really matter, as the power difference is counteracted by Void Body, people will underestimate me
Empathetic- enforced morality, probably good for staying a good person
Finger-Licking Good – exploitable money source as I can mix in my body fluids and regrowable body parts into food and sell it in the bazar at high prices, possibly scalable production trough cybernetics by making a factory be considered a part of myself
Courting death-counterable trough void body hax, might be able to convince some of them to join me
Hero’s journey-annoying but livable, standard protagonist experience, possibly solvable trough delegation
Frog in a well-just sounds like an interesting premise, semi resolved by having access to the library and enhanced senses trough seventh sense and third eye
Doomsayer-interesting, the weak masses will not know this information, all the social amps will help counter the negatives, I can probably use my conman skills to spin the narrative to my advantage by making myself some revolutionary figure that will dismantle the wuxia system. Might actually get some narrative power if I follow the prophecy.

Simple plan just stay in the home universe and rebuild earth and develop, why bother with all of the xianxia bullshit its all a big pyramid scheme, and you will eventually just grow so fat on RE that you can’t even return home, not to mention the increased rate of death. Your already immortal on earth what else do you need? Plus your essentially throwing away all the friends, organizations, infrastructure and resources you have spent centuries collecting because they are jobber tier in your new world and you need to rebuild from scratch.

It’s a dumb system where you just chase bigger RE numbers, the full breadth and potential of abilities one can achieve on a lower stage is probably highly underdeveloped when its just easier to move up to a higher stage instead. Technology is also highly unexplored as an alternative avenue of power. Really living on earth just provides great protection from the real monsters they simply have too much RE to be able to enter a total RE wasteland like earth, besides they have no motivation to conquer earth as it has no valuable RE resources.
I am just gonna stay in my home dimension, build stuff up, there are a lot of people to save, world to stabilize, culture attempt to preserve, a literal apocalypse just happened, a lot of rebuilding will be necessary I am not going to run off to some different world just to increase my own personal power. Maybe go try to rebuild the dimensional barrier so it would be even harder for any powerful individual to travel here. I can probably defeat most violent interlopers by using void body and nerfing them to my universes level
