Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"Irrelevant?"

The emperor's words made Chen Xi feel as if he had been suddenly hit by a wooden hammer, leaving him dizzy.

"How is that possible? Doesn't awakening the second sequence require a specific containment device?"

"When I was fighting that fake man, apart from that mysterious tennis ball, I didn't have anything strange on me."

"That's how it is, Chen Xi."

The emperor interrupted her, her confident smile vanishing, replaced by a serious expression:

"None of your friends are Overlord-sequence transcendents, so they don't know that when an Overlord-sequence awakens, they need to hold the corresponding exclusive containment device to push open that door."

"But you didn't; you just pushed him away."

"In other words, your personal containment object, that mysterious tennis ball that only you can see, has not appeared."

"If the Mysterious Tennis Ball was attached to you at the time, and you need its presence during the awakening, then it will naturally appear in the awakening space of the Black Tower Stone."

"But it turned out not to be, right?"

"right......"

After a moment of silence, Chen Xi replied that he had hyperthymesia and could not possibly be mistaken. He had indeed not seen the mysterious tennis ball at the time, nor had he sensed the other party's presence.

Only after he had awakened did he belatedly notice the mysterious tennis ball.

If what the emperor says at this moment is true, then everything before was a misunderstanding.

"Then why was I able to awaken the second sequence?"

Chen Xi voiced his question.

"It must be his constitution..."

should......

When Chen Xi heard this word, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had been listening very attentively, and every word the emperor said kept replaying in his mind.

The word "should" implies uncertainty; this is the first "should" the emperor has used since we met today.

Therefore, the other party cannot guarantee that their subsequent conclusions are correct.

"As you mentioned earlier, your friend says you are a natural adaptor."

"Such people are extremely rare. They are born with the ability to gain the approval of a certain containment object or type of containment object, thus avoiding their curse."

"And I am also a natural adaptor, I am a natural adaptor of the Qitian Stone Crown."

"Or rather, the top three in the hegemony sequence are all natural adaptants."

"Our three sequences correspond to the Heavenly Crown, the Primal Seed, and the Golden Finger, respectively."

"But you're a bit special. I suspect you might not be a natural adaptor of the original seed."

"You actually pushed the door open using your own strength."

"This is actually a kind of constitution. I've heard of people who don't need a special containment device when they awaken."

"With enough mental power, one can directly push open any door in the Overlord sequence."

"This physique has no name; I call it the 'Overlord Physique.'"

"Overlord Body..."

Chen Xi silently recited the name; one was a Overlord, the other a Overlord Body—they were quite a good match.

He never expected he had this kind of constitution; it felt like he was the male protagonist in a novel.

"I thought this kind of constitution was just nonsense, after all, in the limited history I know, there has never been such a person."

"You're the first one."

"But that's precisely why it limits your potential."

"In terms of future development, awakening to the fourth sequence is the best option for you."

"If you awaken to the second sequence as you are now, your future potential is actually lower than that of the fourth sequence, because you are not a natural adaptor and cannot master the ability to revert."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. You can't possibly know about things like the Invincible Body. When you awaken it, you'll definitely go as far as you can."

"The current situation is that the original seed has been destroyed, and you are not its natural adaptor."

"This means that your identity as a farmer will become the identity with the lowest ceiling in the hierarchy of hegemons."

"Furthermore, if you truly possess an untapped power within you, it is likely the power of the Overlord Body."

"Although the above is my personal speculation, considering your situation, I think the accuracy rate should be infinitely close to 100%, otherwise you could not have awakened the second sequence."

Chen Xi understood the Emperor's meaning.

As one of the top three overlords, he cannot use the Return ability without his own containment object, which makes his potential lower than that of the other overlords, even though he is a peasant second only to the emperor!

"Okay, I understand."

"But I still want to know, how can one master this ability to revert to their previous state?"

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about it?"

"Everyone should have dreams."

"What if it succeeds?"

The emperor smiled upon hearing this:

"It seems you haven't given up."

"That's true. Look at all these certificates and trophies on the wall. You've won them all: top student, outstanding cadre, star student, JOC national champion... and at 18 years old, you must be someone who never gives up."

"I guess you're trying to find some clues from that mysterious tennis ball, right?"

"I've never seen that thing before. Maybe there's hope. I wish you success."

After speaking, the emperor didn't mince words and explained the method for mastering the return:

"To master the return, you need to do two things."

"First, you must kill a fake person whose level is higher than yours by yourself."

"Is the stage greater than me?"

"So, I now need to kill a second-tier pseudo-human. If I couldn't do it at first tier, then I have to kill a third-tier one at second tier?"

"This method is somewhat similar to the rules used when the imposters seized our identities, except they only required the superhumans to have a progress level greater than or equal to theirs, while I have to skip a whole stage..."

"Yes."

The emperor nodded.

"Based on your previous description, neither you, a superhuman nor a pseudo-human, have had any contact with or witnessed Phase II combat."

"But I can tell you, it's very difficult. The gap between different stages is huge, and it's extremely difficult to achieve a solo kill."

Even if you are in the dominant order.

"But if you change your goal, it doesn't have to be a step higher."

A different purpose?

Chen Xi silently repeated the sentence to himself, and at the same time, he thought of the antagonistic relationship between pseudo-humans and superhumans:

"You mean... supreme talent?"

The pseudo-humans are born with a kind of innate talent, among which the top ten innate talents are called supreme talents.

It is comparable to the overlord sequence in the realm of extraordinary beings.

"Can this also be accomplished by solo-killing a top-tier unit of the same stage?"

Chen Xi guessed, after all, the relationship between the two is equal.

"That's right."

"The key to the first step is whether you can find a pseudo-human who has little combat power but is a level above you."

"If you can't find it, you'll have to target the fake humans in the Supreme Sequence. I can only say that even the fake humans in the Supreme Sequence are very difficult to deal with."

"Before mastering the ability to return, it is difficult to leapfrog levels in the Overlord sequence, so you don't have much of a chance to defeat a pseudo-human who is one level higher than you."

"One more thing, not counting firearms, you can only kill your opponent by relying on your own extraordinary abilities, unless your extraordinary abilities are linked to firearms."

"Then comes the second thing."

"This matter is related to the swindler's purpose."
