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

Chapter 243 Old Enemy
It might be a trap...

But if you lose it, you may never be able to reincarnate again in this lifetime.

Before Saint One stepped into the forbidden area.

Outside this palace, countless trees sway and tremble, but they are all in the distance and do not disturb this secluded place of reincarnation.

As Saint One looked at the temple before him, his heart was filled with countless premonitions.

A sense of danger was constantly issuing warnings.

The premonition was unusually strong, so strong that it terrified me!

I don't know how long it's been since I had such a strong premonition... Perhaps, I will die in this trial!
but.

Are you afraid of this?
Seiichi actually had a thousand thoughts in his mind.

However, it's no longer possible to delve too deeply into the rights and wrongs.

I wonder how long this tradition will last?
If I lose this chance, will I never have another one?

Looking back, I only heard a rumor and arrived at an ancient battlefield before finding the place of reincarnation.

They slaughtered all the powerful enemies and suppressed all the reincarnated corpses.

Everyone who died there was a powerful individual who had come after hearing the rumors of reincarnation.

I've only heard of the opportunity for reincarnation.

As long as there is hope for immortality, people will follow one after another!

At that time, there was a premonition of such a crisis, and at that time, there was also a spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me"!

In this world, how much can be 100% certain?
Isn't it enough to find just a glimmer of hope?
As for the rest, I am invincible!

Saint One passed through the barrier and stepped inside.

Standing before the magnificent temple gates, I let out a long sigh of relief…

Based on his experience as a formation master, he knew that the current restriction was not invincible, and that he might be able to find a way to break it by spending a lot of time.

However, the ban is also a test and proof.

"It seems that this is a test of me, to see if I am willing to let go of the accumulation of many lifetimes, and whether I have the courage to start over even if I am knocked down time and time again."

Saint One stood at the door, his eyes resolute: "I can naturally let go."

"Even if I lose everything, I will get back up from the beginning."

Even if I can never be reincarnated, I can still rise to prominence in this life.

"I can lose everything, but at the same time, I will strive for everything I can get."

"That's my answer."

Saint stepped forward, removing all his equipment and storage items.

Take a step forward in the most original, childlike state, without carrying any external things, retaining only yourself.

Seiichi sensed it.

The restriction suddenly lifted, welcoming him in.

At the same time, a figure in a gray robe fell from mid-air...

Seiichi put on his clothes.

This outfit was actually custom-made to fit my body shape.

That's really thoughtful of them.

It seems... the test has officially begun.

Saint One slowly walked into the hall and saw that the interior was shrouded in mist, with various colored lights flowing within the mist.

A faint figure also appeared in front of Saint One.

The figure held a spear shimmering with faint starlight and looked like a child similar to Saint One.

"You are my trial?"

Saint One spoke calmly, his senses sweeping over Lu Cang, but he obtained no information whatsoever.

Unable to sense Lu Cang's physical strength, unable to perceive the strength of his magic, and unable to feel any of the other party's presence.

It looks incredibly mysterious.

Lu Cang said, "Yes, I am your trial."

"My wish has been fulfilled: the lie I fabricated about reincarnation has been believed."

The lie Lu Cang told Sheng Yi today.

Saint One believed it.

"If you can kill me, you can be reincarnated again."

Lu Cang's voice was icy, filled with a calm killing intent.

Seiichi felt an incredibly strong premonition of danger!

boom!
In just a moment!
Lu Cang's spear had already pierced through!

With his life in grave danger, Seiichi's reaction was suddenly pushed to its limit!
Just like the enlightenment Lu Cang gained in the face of a life-or-death crisis!
He also gained a reaction speed as if he were still in the instant before he died.

He wants to cast a spell!
However, at that moment, he felt a binding sensation on the clothes he was wearing! Magic was not allowed to flow!
This dress!
It's a garment that forbids magic!
The spear tip was almost touching his heart. In desperation, Seiichi immediately burst out with an extremely impassioned shout!

"The root of all things! Do you still remember me...?"

But as soon as he opened his mouth!

He inhaled the pervasive mist throughout the entire Hall of Reincarnation.

The remaining half-sentence could no longer be uttered!
ah---

His mouth was agape! He strained with all his might, but couldn't utter a single sound! His cries were suppressed!

"Enough already..."

Lu Cang's voice was icy cold as a spear pierced through his body!

call!
It went straight through his heart.

Saint One stared in disbelief at the spear that had pierced through his body, his expression filled with incredulity.

Why does it end like this?

Why did I lose so easily!
Why doesn't reincarnation even give you the slightest chance?

He had considered that he might fail, but he should never fail so easily, he should never fail so powerlessly!

Why are there magical seals on the clothes?

Why can't I pronounce the second half of the call?

Originally, I could have used the ritual of reincarnation to temporarily regain the strength of my previous life!

This ritual was set up in a previous life, and it can be completed simply by calling upon it!
Everything is ready!

I still have a backup plan! Even if I lose everything, I still have a backup plan!
Unable to speak, unable to make a sound.

This fog is poisonous...

A very ordinary and simple toxin, which is simply a toxin that prevents a person from making a sound.

Lu Cang drew his spear.

There was a huge hole in Saint One's chest.

Saint fell to the ground, spitting out blood, but still managed to turn around with all his might and struggled to crawl backward.

Look back at the entrance we came from.

As long as I can get my equipment back and take back what I brought with me.

still have a chance.

Even if one cannot be reincarnated, one can still live on.

Get out of here alive...

Even if I cannot be reincarnated, I will be invincible in this life!
However, when he turned around, he found that all the equipment and storage items he had taken off at the door had disappeared.

Why?
He suddenly turned around to look at Lu Cang, whose face looked completely unfamiliar, a face he had never seen before.

In his eyes, it remains a mystery he can't recall.

His mind was filled with despair.

She looked at Lu Cang, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't speak. Her heart had been completely lost, and even as a mage and mechanic, she couldn't survive such a severe injury.

In this life, he did not have a profession that allowed him to change jobs and improve his physical strength.

No matter what, it's impossible to survive without a heart.

At least, not in his current state.

He wanted to activate flesh magic to regenerate himself, but in his current weakened state, he couldn't break through the powerful restrictions of the clothing.

It's not just about clothes.

Even the entire Hall of Reincarnation is protected by a magic-suppressing restriction.

He could only project his thoughts outwards, weakly asking Lu Cang, "Is this the trial of reincarnation...?"

Lu Cang did not answer, but instead used a dagger.

He grabbed his head, lifted it up, and plunged the dagger directly into the back of his neck!

A soul was blasted out!

Lu Cang raised his hand and withdrew the other party's soul.

The soul floated in his hand; he had completely mastered this soul.

The soul carried a hint of astonishment, yet a lingering, unyielding resentment remained within it.

He struggled as he looked at Lu Cang.

Only then did Lu Cang speak.

"Yes, this is a trial of reincarnation."

"I'm sorry, you did not pass this trial..."

Saint One's tiny soul gazed at Lu Cang's tall and majestic figure.

"Is that so? It seems I have failed in a trial..."

Lu Cang sensed that Sheng Yi's obsession was gradually fading away.

He accepted his defeat and eventually found peace.

Lu Cang did not expose the lie he had fabricated.

Sigh... Have a good dream, Seiichi.

As Sheng Yi's last vestige of consciousness dissipated, he died completely.

There was no earth-shattering battle; just a spear thrust was enough to completely end the life of a reincarnator who had been reincarnated eight times.

The child's body lay on the ground, his eyes empty and lifeless.

The sky, faintly tinged with blood, cast its last rays upon the illusory temple of reincarnation. And so, everything came to a settled end.

It didn't even stir up the slightest ripple that would cause the distant sea of ​​trees to surge.

Lu Cang did not leave immediately.

Instead, he sat down beside the corpse of Saint One, looking at the soul swirling in his right hand.

A slight sense of loneliness inevitably crept into my heart.

How difficult can it be to kill a person?
Reason with them, appeal to their emotions. Everything has its weaknesses, whether material or spiritual. As long as someone is human, they will have obsessions. By using their obsessions to blackmail them, they will inevitably reveal their weaknesses. If it is a demon, it has lost its wisdom. Play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and use its strength to attack its weakness. It will still kill.

To kill someone, you don't necessarily need to be much stronger than them; you can even be far weaker in terms of strength.

This is also why Lu Cang had to kill Sheng Yi.

It seemed that the other party no longer recognized him. As long as Lu Cang did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Sheng Yi, the two seemed to have no connection in this life.

But in reality, at this very moment, with the enemy in the open and us in the dark, it is already the best opportunity to kill him.

If he were left to his own devices, how would Lu Cang know what kind of trap the other party would set?
Today, I have set a trap for myself, waiting for the other party to fall into it.

If I let him go, how can I be sure that the next opportunity I want to seize isn't a trap set by him?
Are we so arrogant that we think we have so many god-like talents that we are not afraid of anything others might do to us?
Ah……

It’s hard to say.

Even during the rehearsal, when he tried to assassinate Saint One, he was killed by him with the "Celestial City of Saint Sky," a weapon powerful enough to destroy the entire continent of Missirus.

If the other party comes prepared and makes thorough preparations, how can you be sure that you will not be killed?

No matter what I do, I can't find peace of mind.

Lu Cang looked at the corpse beside him and said, "Alas, if I had not received the inheritance of reincarnation, perhaps you and I could have become good friends."

"Actually, I feel like we get along quite well. We're about the same age, and we're both adults at heart, with the strength to look down on everything."

"Besides, you're not exactly a bad person, you even seem like a hero..."

"If we weren't mortal enemies, we might actually get along quite well."

"Besides, I quite like your Root Magic."

As Lu Cang spoke, he felt increasingly empty inside.

"Sigh, these words can only be said after you die... There are some things in my heart that I really can't tell anyone. You must be the same. After living for so many years, there must be some secrets that you can't tell yourself."

Lu Cang helped Sheng Yi close his eyes.

“I’m not exactly lying to you, Saint One. This place is indeed your trial.”

"If you can really kill me, you can indeed have another reincarnation."

"This is the biggest concession I can make. From now on, when a lion hunts a rabbit, it will go all out."

"Unfortunately... you don't have the strength to pass this trial."

……

Lu Cang put Sheng Yi's body back into his storage space and blew away the fog in the room.

A thought came to my mind.

Beside Lu Cang appeared a small child, resembling a ghostly green shadow.

This is the spirit of the Holy One.

Level 6 Scholar / Level 6 Mage / Level 6 Mechanic

An 8th reincarnation.

Now, I can finally be completely free of worries... From now on, there will be no one in the world who can kill me directly.

Lu Cang sensed the power that Saint One possessed.

In this life, Saint One's talent is quite ordinary, merely an exceptional talent, the "Sea of ​​Mind" of a polymath.

Unfortunately, being a polymath requires independent thinking.

After his death, Seiichi was no longer able to think independently, and the only remaining use of this profession was to assist others.

"Ordinary, High, Extraordinary, Excellent, Supreme, Divine"

Excellence is only at the fourth level.

The most valuable thing about the other person is not their current professional skills, but the memories they have accumulated over several lifetimes.

Now Saint One is dead.

His memories were buried with his death.

……

Afterwards, Lu Cang began searching Sheng Yi's storage bag.

Seiichi carried a large number of life-saving items.

Equivalent to the Holy Protection Ring of a Level 7 Defender, the "Ring of Otherworldly Dimension" that allows one to enter another dimension, and the Magic Holy Shield that can neutralize magical attacks...

The sheer number of life-saving items left Lu Cang feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Even when he was suddenly attacked before, he still had many life-saving items that he hadn't used. Since he can no longer reincarnate, it seems he really cherishes his life a lot.

He had more tricks up his sleeve than he had imagined.

They didn't even see the whole thing during the rehearsal.

But now, all of these life-saving items belong to him.

As he flipped through the pages, Lu Cang finally found a letter.

"This letter is for the one who killed me."

"I have lost the cycle of reincarnation. If someone else gets hold of this letter, it should also mean that I am dead."

"Actually, back when I was reincarnated, I had already thought about my own fate."

"It is always said that those who attain reincarnation are eternal and immortal, sharing the world's immortality. But in reality, looking at the records of reincarnation, there has never been a single person who can truly be eternal. Reincarnation goes through generations, and there has never been any record of anyone being able to reincarnate in this world for a long time."

"Perhaps this is the fate of those who reincarnate, destined to lose the cycle of reincarnation."

"If that day truly comes, should I relinquish my attachment to reincarnation and insist on the eternity of this life?"

"If you see this letter, no matter what path I choose, I have ultimately failed. Being killed by another reincarnator is my destined end."

"I wonder if you are a reincarnator like me."

"But if that's the case, I hope you won't follow in my footsteps. My grand ambitions have faded into the distance, but you are still on your journey."

"I'm just one step away from proving the complete job change chain."

"The relevant records are already written in another book within this storage bag..."

"Although you killed me, you lost in a battle for opportunity, so there's nothing to complain about. After all, I've killed countless people like me before."

"But it would be a real shame if the things I, the eighth king, have studied were lost like this."

"The doctrine of reincarnation recognizes only those who are reincarnated."

"If you take my corpse to the Reincarnation Cult and declare your identity as a reincarnator, you should be able to become the new master of the Reincarnation Cult."

"All the research I left behind is within the forbidden area of ​​the Moonlit Land headquarters. If you have the authority of the cult leader, you will naturally be able to access it..."

"By the way, let me give you a piece of advice: if you can avoid becoming a god, then don't. Power without freedom is meaningless."

"Alas... I still couldn't achieve immortality. Immortality is just a dream in my short cycle of reincarnation."

"And I finally realized that the path of reincarnation is not true immortality."

This letter ends here.

"Immortality...who wouldn't want immortality?"

"However, I always felt that this was an idea from a fantasy world. It turns out that there are such people in this world too."

Perhaps there are quite a few.

An Zheng probably also wanted to live forever.

The closer one gets to the end of their life, the more they feel the urgency of time and the limitations of life.

The more extraordinary and saintly one becomes, the more magnificent the scenery one experiences in one's life, the more one desires to live a longer life.

The wealthy in their past lives all desired longevity...

Qin Shi Huang also sought immortality, and now Lu Cang is increasingly able to understand their state of mind.

Swah——

In a flash, Lu Cang appeared outside the Hall of Reincarnation.

Looking out at the sea of ​​trees in the distance.

In order to kill the Holy One, many arrangements were made, not just those that resulted in his death.

There are even many useless backup plans.

Even if he doesn't enter the Second Reincarnation Sanctuary, Lu Cang will seal off the entire underground city, preventing him from teleporting out.

Even if Saint One is unwilling to return to his original body.

His mechanical body still retains a special poison, which, at critical moments, can cause the materials of his body to lose their original effects, becoming extremely brittle and easily destroyed.

In many locations within this place, there are magic circles left behind, well-prepared restrictions, plague gas, and corpses buried everywhere.

Even if the most successful plan fails.

There are also nearly ten backup plans.

……

“Saint One, you died without injustice.”

Lu Cang glanced back and saw that the barrier had sealed off the entrance to the underground city, making it impossible to enter from the outside.

Lu Cang looked at the sea of ​​trees in front of him.

That successor of the Church of Light, Zhu Ya, may have killed these seventh-tier monsters single-handedly.

well...

Try killing a level 7 monster yourself, and see how far you can go.
By the way, let's see if we can take this opportunity to evolve Ant Mountain to the sixth tier... If we have more souls, we'll have more trump cards when exploring that ruin.

Moreover, there are so many seventh-tier monsters.

Finally, we can add seventh-tier undead...

Besides, after we get out, we can see if Saint One's last words are true. If they are, then we might have a chance to incorporate the Samsara sect.

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to gain control of that "Sky City".

Lu Cang also harbored many concerns about this ultimate nuclear weapon that could kill him with a single shot.

Swah——

In an instant, Lu Cang approached a giant tree!
Behind Lu Cang, two undead spirits surrounded him: the Observer and Saint One.

The observer provided Lu Cang with a broad view, allowing him to perceive the entire tree.

This is an ultimate giant tree that is a full 7,000 kilometers tall and 1,000 kilometers in diameter.
