Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Mo Lin City, City Lord’s Mansion.

"Unexpectedly, after reaching the level of advanced Chaos Origin Life in this cycle of reincarnation, the simulated cooling time actually reached 10000 epochs."

Yang Wu opened his eyes. After this advancement in his life level, the "Drawing the Future" talent still played an irreplaceable role for him, but it had also undergone tremendous changes.

The option of "physical object" completely disappeared after he reached the level of a high-level primordial life form, leaving only the option of "comprehension".

As a series of mysterious messages arrived, Yang Wu finally understood the origin of the "physical object" option.

The true origin of the talent "drawing the future" is still unknown to Yang Wu, but the "physical object" option is very likely just a side effect of drawing the future.

The talent level is only at the Hunyuan level, so the items generated by the talent can only be of the Hunyuan level or below; Hunyuan level items cannot be generated.

Yang Wu's current guess about drawing upon future talents is that it involves a strange energy that can bring back the "Dao Fruit" from a certain timeline in the future.

The so-called cooldown time is the process of accumulating talent energy.

"Whoo~"

Yang Wu looked towards the Dream Domain. Apart from the infinite space outside the Origin Continent, he could easily explore all the other treasure lands left by Yuan.

hum~
With his keen observation, Yang Wu quickly pierced through layers of spatial barriers and saw the dark area at the very core.

Dark Area...

Originally, only the mind could perceive it, but Yang Wu can now see the dark area clearly with his eyes.

"The Dark Area consists of only one space."

Yang Wu looked closely and saw that the entire Dream Domain was like a giant sphere with countless bubbles inside, each bubble being an independent space.

The outermost dream realm has the most spaces, the middle layer has far fewer, the deep layer has even fewer, and the core "dark area" has only one space.

This space is incredibly stable. The earth is forged from black metal with engraved patterns, the trees are intertwined with countless metals, and the river is a confluence of streams of light.

The weakest creatures here are at the level of Emperors or Monarchs, while the strongest have even touched the upper limit of the power of the Origin Continent. If their conflicts were to occur on the Origin Continent, they would be considered a catastrophe.

In addition to their individual strength, the creatures of the Dream Realm also have a numerical advantage that surpasses that of the Origin Continent.

Yang Wu saw that in one area, hundreds of frog-like creatures had gathered. The frogs were lined up and breathing heavily, and the commotion was enough to reach the upper limit of the power of the Origin Continent.

If this were on the Origin Continent, and these hundreds of frog-like creatures were to attack, it would be like hundreds of Emperor Qings attacking under the constraints of supreme rules.

Yang Wu estimated the power of these dream realm creatures. If he had fallen into these frog-like creatures before his breakthrough, he would probably have been worn down to death!

One against hundreds?
how to spell?
No matter how you fight, you'll be worn down and killed.

……

"Huh, are those the remains of a special life form?"

Yang Wu was suddenly drawn to a pile of wreckage. He continued to observe and saw countless, scattered remains of special life forms in various places.

Whether hidden deep in the mountains or in the depths of rivers, hundreds of thousands of fragments lie there—a bone, a scale, a muscle…

These remains of life have one thing in common: they are all located deep within the dark area, requiring cultivators to explore a considerable distance after entering.

However, even if one can explore this area, according to the rules of the Dream Realm, each cultivator who enters can only take away a fragment of life.

Yang Wu carefully observed the various corpses—rivers, mountains, underground, jungle—comparing them one by one, and finally settled on one document…

"I go!"

Just as Yang Wu was about to take a closer look, he suddenly met a pair of smiling eyes, which almost startled him.

"Yang Wu from the Origin Continent?" A voice suddenly rang out. Yang Wu turned his head and saw an old man standing about ten feet away, smiling at him.

His clothes were brightly colored, and he was wearing slippers that showed his toes, looking very casual.

Even with Yang Wu's mental probing, all he could see was emptiness. He could see it clearly with his eyes, but he couldn't detect it by any other means.

"Senior Yuan."

Yang Wu immediately recognized the visitor's identity and respectfully bowed, saying, "Yang Wu greets Senior Yuan."

In the Origin Continent, this primordial world, anyone who reaches the ultimate realm has received the blessings of Yuan. The treasure lands, the remains of special life forms, secret techniques and so on, are all left behind by Yuan.

“I came to see you because I want to meet any of the Ultimate Realm experts.” Yuan looked at Yang Wu. “Those who can become Ultimate Realm experts in the Origin World are all promising talents.”

“However, I foresaw you, but I didn’t expect you to grow up so quickly!” Yuan sized up Yang Wu.

Previously, the supreme rules of the Origin Continent changed. Although the change was very subtle, the Yuan that protected this chaotic space region immediately noticed it.

He investigated Yang Wu's past but found no trace of it. The only discovery he made was that Yang Wu seemed to have received a mysterious inheritance.

He even reached the ultimate realm of God King in a time longer than he expected, thanks to this inheritance, and mastered a complete Great Dao.

And now.

Their life level has even reached the advanced primordial life.

Logically speaking, the best method for spiritual practitioners is to grope their way in the dark.

Yuan Ye once released all of his inheritances, but the subsequent inheritances had too great an impact on cultivators, even affecting their own path of exploration.

The path of cultivation is one where those who learn from me live, and those who imitate me die. Everyone who can break free from the cage is unique, and those who insist on imitating me will only face certain death.

After discovering this, Yuan restricted the subsequent exchange of inheritances in the Infinite Space. For example, those special-grade inheritances and perfect inheritances were only available for exchange to God-King level inheritances.

After all, the Yuan level is too high, and the legacy created is too perfect. If later generations follow these legacies to cultivate, they will naturally be influenced by the creator.

On the contrary, those inheritances that are only at the semi-primordial level, whose creators themselves did not succeed, are still very crude, but have extremely high ideals.

If subsequent cultivators refine this concept on their own, they may be able to break free from its constraints.

but……

Given that Yang Wu achieved such success so quickly, Yuan could not possibly attribute it all to that mysterious inheritance.

After all, with such a high level of Hunyuan life achieved in such a short time, the cultivator lineage has every chance of welcoming its eighth Hunyuan Lord.

“Yang Wu, I left you a secret treasure in the Heavenly Pillar Realm. It was originally meant for you to retrieve after you reached the Ultimate Realm, but it seems you’ll have to make do with it for now.”

Speaking of this, Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Yuan had cast a wide net for the Origin Continent, and he treated every Origin World Ultimate Realm cultivator the same way.

He had thought that Yang Wu was a promising talent who had the potential to break free from his constraints, so he specially prepared a protective weapon and secret treasure for Yang Wu.

But in the blink of an eye, this promising talent had quietly broken free from his constraints, and the weapon he left behind was merely icing on the cake.

"I've said what I needed to say. Now it's up to you to make your own way." After saying that, Yuan disappeared into thin air, coming and going very quickly.

"Thank you, Senior Yuan."

Yang Wu immediately bowed, his heart filled with anticipation for the weapons and treasures left behind by Yuan.
