Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 168 "God-Level - Necromancer's Rebirth"

Breaking the restriction in an instant is too far-fetched; it's better to keep it a little hidden.

Even with Lu Cang's current knowledge, he couldn't determine what the egg-like thing inside was.

"Hidden: The Cocoon of Destruction"

"Hidden Objects: Ancient Forbidden Creatures: The Source of Calamity"

"Activation Method 1: Sacrifice Souls - Sacrifice a sufficient number of souls."

"Activation Method 2: Wait for it to grow naturally."

Ultimately, monsters just appear out of nowhere; they don't come from eggs.

Even in areas where perception is not complete, in corners where attention is not focused and no one is paying attention, a new monster can still be born without anyone noticing.

The hidden creature here is not a monster, but a living being.

Kumironi stepped forward and touched the barrier.

"It's really solved."

"Little Lu Cang, how did you do that?"

"Hehe, I just happened to have figured out a special way to break the restrictions. There are probably no restrictions in the world that are encrypted against my method of breaking them."

What Lu Cang said was true.

There is indeed no encryption method for god-level talents.

"Lu Cang, you are truly an even more extraordinary genius than Izzy."

Upon hearing this, Iz retorted, "Kumironi, I think you're speaking too soon. He's not as good as me in magic."

Kumiloni paused for a moment, then replied, "Well... let's not talk about that."

Iz's lips twitched.

It is indeed a lonely thing to have no one more talented than yourself, but it is also a bit unsettling to find someone more talented than yourself.

Forget it...

After all, he was my apprentice. If I had had a master like me back then, his performance would naturally not have been inferior to his.

Moreover, true genius lies in depth and breadth, not in breadth and erudition.

My mastery of magic should surpass his mastery of all other fields combined.

That's enough.

Iz understood and had already let go of her previous emotions.

Let him be strong, I have my own path and origins.

And thinking about it, it would be quite a pleasant thing if he really did become like me in the future.

"Sister Kumironi, Master Iz, what do you think of this thing inside?"

With the restriction lifted, Iz and Kumironi's senses could now penetrate the interior.

All that could be seen was a floor filled with thick, black blood, and in the very center of the room, an egg that was constantly bouncing.

It looks like an egg, and also like a placenta.

It's so nauseating that it makes you feel physically disgusted.

“There is an extremely vigorous life force inside…” Kumironi sensed.

“There’s a strong magical energy fluctuation inside the egg,” Iz said.

"The ground, covered in black blood, was marked with ritualistic magic circles. It looked like a sacrificial array, seemingly meant to be offered as a sacrifice to the egg in the center."

"However, judging from its appearance, this egg's strength should not exceed that of a 6th-tier, nation-destroying level monster."

A Tier 6 monster capable of destroying entire nations is already considered to be among the most powerful combatants on the continent of Ruilun.

The reason we encountered so many sinking-class ships before was because of the sacrifice.

Under normal circumstances, if you go to the Cave of Despair and Howl, without breaking those powerful seals, the sinking-level monsters will be sealed away and will not appear.

"Um……"

After receiving their responses, Lu Cang roughly understood.

It seems that only I have discovered what is hidden within this.

"Sister Kumiloni, I have an idea."

"Ok?"

"This ritual should be a ritual in which a soul is offered as a sacrifice, but the sacrifice is not yet completed. I should be able to complete the sacrifice."

“However, it is too dangerous to sacrifice it directly. I want to try to control it first before completing the sacrifice.”

"Perhaps we can find out what kind of conspiracy is hidden here."

“Hmm…” Kumironi glanced at Iz.

Actually, she didn't really like the suggestion.

Iz laughed generously and said, "Then let's do it your way. If danger arises, we'll take care of it then."

Kumironi sighed, "Since Iz has said so, let's do it this way."

Lu Cang grinned: "Well, then I'll have to trouble Master Iz."

Having someone to help you definitely gives you confidence.

If I came alone, I probably wouldn't even touch the egg; I'd have to call someone over to help.

Before his promotion, Lu Cang would have preferred to destroy the egg directly without even looking at what the hidden object was.

However, after becoming a Level 3 Death Priest, the enhancement brought by spirituality gave Lu Cang a vague premonition.

This thing can be used for one's own benefit.

[Premonition: A compass for destiny; when faced with a vacillating situation where reason fails to provide a clear decision, it is wise to trust the premonitions brought by intuition—"Awakening and Premonition"]

It is said that high-ranking observers, warriors, and diviners will gain different types of precognitive abilities.

Lu Cang activated the barrier, and the stone wall opened with a rumble.

As the stone wall rose, a black, blood-like liquid continuously flowed out from the opened cracks.

It quickly spread to a large area outside.

Izzy and Kumironi floated in mid-air, their feet not touching the ground, unwilling to touch the filthy black blood.

Lu Cang floated inside only after the portal was fully open.

They controlled the restrictions, preventing the door from closing.

A small silver dagger appeared in Lu Cang's right hand.

After Lu Cang entered, the egg continued to throb, and Lu Cang could sense that a powerful soul was contained within it.

This soul is completely integrated with the egg, making it impossible to directly control it.

Lu Cang raised his dagger high, the tip pointing downwards.

Power, along with magic, continuously gathers!

call--

Sacred flames coalesced in the dagger.

"Holy Light Blaze - Invincible Style - Six Forms: Condensed Intent - Heavenly Cleave"

The dagger slashed down like a heavy sword!

The heavy light, carrying intense flames, slammed down on the leaping eggshell!
boom!
The moment it hit.

A phantom-like soul image was blasted outwards!

Lu Cang immediately stretched out his hand!
Swish!
The soul that had been shaken out of the body was instantly drawn away by Lu Cang and absorbed into his palm!
Success...

It actually works!

With the Soul-Devouring Dagger and his own Soul Domination, he actually managed to extract the opponent's soul in one go.

If we encounter an enemy that is normally difficult to deal with, we can try to use this method to catch them off guard.

Moreover, it felt quite easy to shake one's soul out.

This dagger isn't as powerful as people say.

It's estimated that it will shake the soul out for three or four seconds, but the soul will be unable to move for those three or four seconds.

It's definitely enough to kill some physically weak and unprotected job changers several times over.

But for monsters, being unable to move for three or four seconds...

It might not be able to inflict a fatal wound, as monsters are often much more resilient than humans.

Take away the soul.

Lu Cang then sensed that he could transform its soul into an undead.

The eggshell in front of me was still throbbing.

However, it has become an empty shell.

"Did you make it?"

Iz and Kumironi were both watching from outside.

"Mm," Lu Cang nodded.

"I am now going to try to perform a sacrifice."

Kumironi and Iz both nodded slightly; they probably knew what Lu Cang was planning to do.

Lu Cang raised his hand.

The soul flew out of the body!
Call ~
Swish swish swish swish swish! As souls merged into the ground during the ritual, the small room gradually filled with the light of souls.

And this giant egg kept bouncing.

Ultimately, no crisis warnings were received, indicating that my actions would not bring me any danger. Although I had lost my soul.

But it still has the most basic neural responses.

thump--

thump--

thump!
Finally, after sacrificing 10000 souls...

puff!
The giant egg has cracked open!

With a casual press, Izzy caused the earth to light up layer by layer, and in an instant, thousands of different magic circles appeared centered on him.

Layer upon layer, completely enveloping the entire mountain.

Click—click—click-click-click-click—

The eggshell kept cracking!

Finally, a lifeless, purplish-black, centipede-like worm slid out from the broken eggshell.

It has completely lost its vitality.

Snapped--

The worm lay motionless in the pool of black blood, just a lump of dead flesh.

Is this the source of disaster?
Lu Cang scanned the creature with his senses and said, "It's not a demon."

It is a wild animal.

Intelligent life, monsters, and wild creatures are three different categories in this world.

Living beings and monsters share similar, or perhaps slightly higher, spirituality, but they are not necessarily hostile to humans and can even be kept in captivity.

For example, the border pigeon used for sending messages is one such example.

Even some domesticated animals that can be raised are classified as wild animals...

Intelligent life forms are basically similar to humans, possessing language, culture, and traditions, and are capable of communication and interaction.

Monsters... those are the ones I kill every day. Once I see them, we are absolutely mortal enemies.

Actually, when they were exploring the secret, they already knew it wasn't a monster.

However, just to be on the safe side, we still extracted its soul.

This thing is called the Source of Calamity.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a simple good thing. Instead of letting Lu Cang believe that the source of the disaster won't cause harm, it's better to believe that the members of the Church of Death will do good deeds.

Iz's senses swept over the area as well: "Hmm...it seems the threat is indeed gone."

"This creature's soul is dead. It seems we can only take it back for the scholars to study."

It's a pity; if it were alive, we might have been able to directly test its abilities.

And just as Iz was thinking this.

But in the center of the venue, the old eggshell had completely disappeared, replaced by another, dark green eggshell at the very center of the ceremony.

The eggshell was filled with the aura of death.

Upon seeing the eggshell, Iz's eye twitched slightly.

Lu Cang had already raised his hand, and his soul surged out once more!

Wow!
The light of the ceremony shone brightly once more!
This time, however, the light surged into the eerie green eggshell!

Can it still be like this?
The rules of death are exceptionally ingenious.

The eggshell gradually glowed!

boom--

The sound of breaking was deafening, completely different from the force of the previous sound!

boom!
Immediately afterwards, the eggshell shattered!
A slender, winding worm emerged from the cave!

Lu Cang said, "Iz, I can control it!"

"Ok, I know."

Iz could tell that the worm was not hostile at all.

Is this the source of the disaster?

The moment it appeared, Lu Cang felt the tide of demons surging toward him.

Lu Cang's mind stirred—

Swish!
The long worm immediately burrowed out, bursting out of the cave and soaring into the sky!
The monster horde gathered toward its body.

"A monster horde is gathering, and dungeons are starting to form nearby."

Iz suddenly spoke up.

His perception range was much greater than Lu Cang's.

"Is this guy the reason?"

Lu Cang was still getting to know the creature when he replied, "Not entirely sure yet, but I'd guess so."

The three immediately flew out of the cave, only to see that the originally gloomy sky was gradually filled with dark clouds.

"Bloodline Talent - Source of Calamity: Attracts natural disasters such as thunder, fire, and meteors."

"Bloodline Talent - Source of Geological Disasters: Triggers geological disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, and volcanic eruptions."

"Bloodline Talent - Source of Monster Disaster: Gathering monster tides to form a passage to a lair."

Lu Cang carefully sensed the creature and gradually figured out its bloodline talent...

The source of disaster, truly deserving of its name.

At this moment, Lu Cang answered definitively, "It is it."

"A natural bloodline capable of causing natural disasters, geological catastrophes, and monster calamities..."

"Perhaps it is the legendary creature known as the source of calamity."

The legend is said to be something Lu Cang made up; Lu Cang has never seen such a legend.

"However, these bloodline talents can all be controlled."

With a thought, Lu Cang suddenly stopped the giant serpent that was coiled in the sky.

The dark, gloomy clouds that had been rolling in had dissipated, and the earth that had been trembling was no longer restless.

The monster tide no longer surged in, but gradually dispersed in all directions.

Only the dungeons that have already been built remain here.

"What an interesting fellow."

Iz felt no fear of the creature, only intense curiosity.

"Can you really have complete control over it?"

Lu Cang nodded.

"If it can be controlled..."

Iz touched her chin.

"Doesn't that mean it can be used to create dungeons out of thin air?"

Lu Cang and Iz exchanged glances, both revealing mysterious, faint smiles.

Only Kumironi pressed his forehead, wondering what he had released.
omg...

This is actually the source of disaster! This is an evil creature that the Church of Life records must be eliminated!
Should I stop them?
He was promoted to the rank of Death Priest and the source of calamity was unleashed.

Before Kumironi could speak, Iz looked at him and said righteously, "Kumironi, power itself is not scary; what is scary is its master."

"The true source of the calamity is dead. What Lu Cang has now is just a soul that he has perfectly controlled."

"If we can make good use of this power, we might actually save more lives."

Iz said earnestly, "I will always be watching over Lu Cang."

"Moreover, this creature itself is not particularly powerful, and the disasters it causes are still weak compared to our strength."

Kumiloni hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He could only shake his head and say, "Alright... but it must not be allowed to cause any mishaps or disasters. It should only be used to catalyze the underground city."

"Moreover, once it's catalyzed, you must completely clear out all the dungeons."

Before Lu Cang could answer, Izzy nodded seriously and said, "Of course, Lu Cang and I will definitely use this power on the right path."

Lu Cang originally wanted to explain.

If Kumironi insists on this, perhaps we can only respect his wishes and destroy the undead.

Unexpectedly, before he could even speak, Izparut spoke up for him.

Indeed, a great Confucian scholar has come to debate the classics for me.

It seems Izparut is even more eager to play this source of calamity than I am...

Kumironi also looked at Lu Cang: "Lu Cang, this source of disaster won't escape your control, will it?"

Lu Cang: "No."

Kumiloni: "Absolutely not?"

Lu Cang replied earnestly, "Absolutely not."

Lu Cang answered with absolute certainty.

If someone can truly crack their own god-level talent, then the concern will no longer be whether the source of the calamity is out of control.

　I'll add another chapter; I'm a little uneasy about only updating 8000 words.
