Their commission was suspicious.

"I do have ways to verify my own abilities, but it costs money..."

"You've already asked me to check the situation for you, why don't you just pay for it yourself?"

"Because it's cheaper to hire you."

"..."

The world's consciousness never expected that this would be the reason.

No, what kind of family do you come from?

Hiring the world's consciousness for a personalized diagnosis is considered cheap compared to your usual expenses, right?

"..."

Wait a minute, maybe this is actually quite reasonable.

On the other side, Chen Luo, although he always liked to hoard raw stones, now that this concerned his talent and his very foundation, didn't feel any pain at all in spending these 3000 raw stones.

Hmm, not at all...

In fact, this should have been Chen Luo's first choice, but because it was too expensive, Chen Luo decided to ask the World Consciousness first.

Unfortunately, the world's awareness is not strong enough.

[Raw Stone - 3000.]

Chapter 1993 Deep Awakening of EX-Level Talent!

"By the way, can I get my money back?" Chen Luo suddenly looked up at the World Consciousness.

Chen Luo sought out the World Consciousness to help him analyze the situation, but the World Consciousness told Chen Luo to make his own assessment. Although it provided some hints, they were not very thorough.

"Half is fine too."

"...Do you need me to show you why the flowers are so red? Even the World Source, once in the hands of the World Consciousness, can be returned? However, if you tell me the appraisal results, although it's still impossible to return it, I can slip a small bonus into your reward after you complete your identity mission."

"Hmm...I'll have to pay more!"

Okay, I'll slip you a big red envelope later.

"Deal!" Chen Luo didn't even ask how big the red envelope from the World Consciousness was.

"Actually, the situation is like this..."

Chen Luo did not experience any improvement in physical strength, mental strength, or magical power after consuming the raw stone. However, after the appraisal, Chen Luo finally understood what had happened.

Chen Luo's talent ceiling did not increase, because Chen Luo's talent originally had no ceiling, but Chen Luo himself had a ceiling.

Therefore, consuming the Primal Stone is about removing this limit, or rather, allowing Chen Luo to integrate into this limit.

Specifically, after Chen Luo consumes the original stone, he experiences the heartfelt desires of people from different worlds, races, and factions, thus increasing the depth and breadth of his resonance with the original stone…

In layman's terms, it means that the reward of Originium will be increased after completing the commission.

A simple, direct, and highly desirable effect.

But that's not all.

In addition, it is easier to trigger commissions. For example, some commissions require the other party to say them aloud in order to trigger them, while others can be triggered by Chen Luo simply by the other party thinking about them. This is the randomness and special nature of commission triggering.

But most importantly... Chen Luo felt that he was gradually touching upon the power of desire.

Respect wishes, understand wishes, fulfill wishes...

Just like the last sentence that appears on the talent panel at the end of the assessment results.

Once you truly understand and accept your desires, they will also offer you a corner of their authority.

In layman's terms... it's a reminder that Chen Luo hasn't even scratched the surface of his talent yet.

This process has a technical term: deep awakening.

"There's no problem, the result is indeed fine, especially the final conclusion... You haven't even glimpsed a corner of the power of desire." The world consciousness remained silent for a while after hearing Chen Luo's explanation before speaking.

"What should I do now?"

"You're asking me what to do about your talent? How am I supposed to know?"

"...Even if I had raw stones now, I wouldn't know where to spend them. It's too painful," Chen Luo said, rubbing his forehead.

Chen Luo said this because he discovered that the understanding of wishes cannot be capped by spending primal stones.

In other words, Chen Luo has nowhere to spend his money.

Moreover, the only two known ways to understand desires are Chen Luo's own experience and consuming raw stones.

The former, needless to say, is to have Chen Luo take on more commissions, and when taking on commissions, he should not only aim to complete the commissions, but also experience the process of completing them.

The latter is even more mystical... The assessment results stated that the understanding of wishes is not accumulated through quantity at all.

Sometimes consuming a Primal Stone might only increase your Insight by 0.1, but other times it might directly increase your progress by 90%!

We cannot provide firepower coverage, nor can we force it!

All Chen Luo can do now is let nature take its course.

"This is too abstract!" Chen Luo complained.

Chen Luo's method of deeply awakening his talent is so outrageous that it's comparable to the randomness of his marksmanship.

"You should be secretly happy, at least you know your talent has a deep awakening mode, and you know how to achieve deep awakening, all without needing extremely rare and precious special materials as assistance..."

"I seem to have heard of Deep Awakening... but I don't understand it. After all, world consciousness doesn't require Deep Awakening at all; knowledge about this belongs to the Dimensional Sea. Perhaps you can find the answer there."

"But it also feels like you don't need to look for answers at all, because the method for deep awakening is already laid out before you."

"Indeed... but to be honest, I think that the deep awakening of my talent is not as good as the assistance of extremely precious and rare materials."

"...Because you can buy it directly from the Dimensional Sea using Primogems, right?"

The world consciousness grasped the crux of the problem.

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo is the kind of person who, if he could use experience books to level up to 80, would definitely not just level up his character to 79, but would rely on daily quests or killing monsters to gain experience and break through to level 80.

The raw gems were meant to be used, but it turns out they have no direct effect on the deep awakening of this talent.

This is so agonizing.

Consuming Primal Stones increases Depth and Awakening Progress entirely because the emotions contained within the Primal Stones nourish the soul.

That's right, the only improvement after consuming Primal Stones is this.

It does not increase magic power, mental strength, or physical strength; it only nourishes the soul with the radiance of desire.

Raw stones may look identical on the surface, but the subtle yet crucial differences can only be discovered after tasting them.

The seeds of hope have been sown; whether they will blossom and bear fruit, and when they will blossom and bear fruit, no one knows.

Just eat it.

Eat all your desires!

It sounds like a grand and difficult goal to achieve, but although everyone's wishes may be different, they also have similarities, otherwise there would be no such thing as a collective wish.

But eating is one thing, but how much of it can be digested depends on how much Chen Luo understands about these desires and how deeply he comprehends them.

The types of wishes can be described as either few or so complex that even thousands of them are difficult to explain.

Reality is often more absurd than fiction because reality doesn't follow any logic.

The increasingly magical world is proof of this.

Therefore, the absurdity of their wishes can be beyond imagination.

Chen Luo didn't know how long it would take for others to achieve deep awakening; he only knew that the time it would take for his talent to achieve deep awakening could be a second or 1000 years.

Desires are never logical; they are simply desires.

"..." by Chen Luo

"How should I depict the world... how should I understand wishes?" Chen Luo was completely baffled.

"Alright, stop obsessing over this. Haste makes waste. Besides, how old are you? You've only been a gifted individual for a few years. Not counting those time jumps that don't really help you much, you've only been a gifted individual for three months."

"For you to reach a deep awakening of your talent in just three months already indicates that you are exceptionally gifted."

"Could it be that he really believes he can transform from an ordinary person into an unfathomable being in just six months?"

"The unspeakable?"

"That is, those who have transcended and those who are at the halfway point of enlightenment."

"Oh……"

The term "Transcendent" needs no further explanation, while "Half-Dao Fruit Level" refers to those who possess the potential to become Transcendents but are unable to do so. They are trapped because Transcendents are not allowed to form a true Dao Fruit in the Dimensional Sea, thus existing only after each has retreated half a step.

For example, if someone is genuinely interested in half of the Wealth Dao Kingdom, they can try to merge with it and then take control of half of the Wealth Dao Fruit.

But how do we describe the Dao Fruit?

Having 1% of the power over the Dao Fruit is no different from having 99% of the power over the Dao Fruit; as long as it doesn't reach 100%, there is no essential difference.

While those at the half-Dao Fruit level are indeed powerful, they could still die if surrounded and attacked by a group of non-Dao Fruit level beings and other strong individuals.

Their strength has increased, but only to a limited extent.

But the transcendent will not be defeated; the transcendent will never be defeated by the non-transcendent... unless the transcendent commits suicide.

Just like in the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, only magic can fight magic.

Moreover, the prerequisite for mastering a Dao Fruit is that the Dao Fruit must first form autonomously, and then one must use one's own power to obtain the Dao Fruit and undergo a long period of assimilation before becoming a half-Dao Fruit powerhouse.

Unexpected events may occur in the process, such as failing to assimilate the Dao Fruit and instead being assimilated by it.

He was halfway assimilated when he was killed by other powerful individuals who were interested in the Dao Fruit.

After assimilating the Dao Fruit, he was repeatedly killed by numerous powerful figures, causing the Dao Fruit to break free of assimilation...

The struggle for Dao Fruits has always been bloody and fierce, and the holders of those powerful Dao Fruits occasionally change.

Hmm? You're asking why no one is picking the fruits of wealth when they're right there?

While the Dao Fruit of Wealth can generate decent combat power, it's not high enough.

"Why not? What if I actually manage to lift a corner of the power of wishes within six months?"

"Then I'll use the World Tree puppet you'll make for me later to show you what it means to eat noodles upside down, whistle while brushing your teeth, break a boulder on your chest, have a golden spear locked in your throat, swallow a sword down your spine, and catch a bullet with your bare hands!"

"Alright, alright, it's a deal! I'll go steal the power over the Wealth Dao Fruit later."

"Go ahead and try if you dare..."

"Fine, I'll go! But once you achieve a certain Dao Fruit, is it impossible to undo it?"

"nonsense!"

Wait, something's not right!

The world consciousness suddenly thought of a question!

What if Chen Luo's parents found out that Chen Luo took control of the Wealth Dao Kingdom because of a bet with them, and then he made a wrong move...

Will I get hacked to death?

Hey!

This time, it wasn't just blood splattering on him! It was swords cutting into him!

"Just kidding, how could I possibly risk my future to fulfill a bet? Let me see if I can achieve deep awakening within the next three months." Chen Luo looked up at the sky.

To taint a Dao Fruit will bind the owner to it for eternity, restricting their freedom.

Good news: Because the Dao Fruit is not fully under the control of the holder, the Dao Fruit does not impose much constraint on the holder.

Bad news: The increase in strength isn't very significant.

But holding power is a different story.

Gaining power by seizing and assimilating the already formed Dao fruit is similar to merging one's body with the Dao.

By collecting scattered powers, one gradually reaches the end of those powers and finally transcends them, much like proving one's way through force.

The latter is beyond the control of the dimensional sea... while the former will not be protected by the dimensional sea.
