Chapter 148: Destiny Talent

"Damn, where did all these vicious beasts and demonic filth come from in Dragon Abyss Valley?"

"Kill! This is my first time leaving the city at night, with so many bigshots escorting me—if I don't kill to my heart's content, I'd be letting myself down!"

"City defense priest bro, toss me a heal…"

"Holy shit, every single one of the Intelligence Division's sixth-ranks has gone invisible—with skills that high, don't chicken out!"

"So this is the nighttime demonic filth? Any random one is stronger than an elite monster of the same level!"

"Ah… save me, I don't want to die!!"

At the entrance of the Ninefold Abyss, surrounded by countless demonic filth and vicious beasts.

The weaker professionals finally began to take casualties.

But under the joint encirclement and suppression of those Tier 5 powerhouses, the demonic filth and vicious beasts could not advance another step.

Moreover…

Those professionals who truly had the strength had yet to make a move.

For example, the hidden rats of the Pantheon Temple…

For some unknown reason, the demonic filth and vicious beasts passed right by their hiding spots, acting as if they didn't see them.

The battle raged on.

An Chen swung his iron fist and blasted a serpent-type vicious beast into smithereens, his tightly furrowed brow never once easing.

"Something's off. Why are there so many vicious beasts and demonic filth tonight?"

Zhou You couldn't be bothered with all that and directly stated his guess: "I'm afraid the rats have already begun to move."

"Impossible, they…"

An Chen's face showed disbelief as he said softly, "Didn't they say they could only control a few demonic filth or vicious beasts… but now…"

"Their experiment has very likely succeeded."

"What experiment?"

Zhou You's face showed a worried expression, but facing An Chen's question, he shook his head and said, "Can't say it, and don't have the right to say it."

"Kill, kill until dawn, kill until Xiaoyu…"

An Chen cast his gaze toward the vortex at the entrance.

He froze!

"Holy fucking shit, Xiaoyu actually cleared the third storyline!!"

Oh my god, what did he miss!

At this moment, Zhou You's hands froze mid-motion, and then boundless wild joy erupted from him.

"Damn it, even if I have to tie him up I'll drag him home—this son-in-law, I, Zhou, have decided on!"

………………

Ninefold Abyss exchange space.

At this moment, Luo Chenyu didn't know what was happening outside, but his face was filled with conflict.

Because…

The moment he returned to the exchange space, he couldn't wait to exchange for the Sky-Supporting War Shield and continue charging into the next storyline.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect the Ninefold Abyss to be so ruthless—refreshing a seemingly even fiercer new divine artifact and catching him completely off guard.

In the exchange list.

A new item radiating seven-colored light had appeared.

Universal divine artifact, Pillar of Fate's Aurora!

So-called divine artifacts include profession-exclusive divine artifacts, universal divine artifacts, and even some special-type divine artifacts.

The effects of divine artifacts are also bizarre and varied.

But without exception, every divine artifact is unique, and its effects are extremely powerful.

Blue Star has another saying: as long as you possess one divine artifact, then a demigod is not far from you!

This is a divine artifact!

And…

Below the exchange was another line of introduction: A gift of gratitude from the Goddess of Fate!

"Goddess of Fate—could it be the goddess statue from earlier?"

Only now did Luo Chenyu understand the meaning behind the goddess statue's smile…

It was fucking messing with his head!

He had 20 million Ninefold Abyss points, but now he only had a little over 10 million—still short by more than 9 million!

"Dammit… multiple choice questions are the hardest, alright!"

Luo Chenyu gathered his focus. Originally, he had been preparing to exchange for the Sky-Supporting War Shield and continue charging into the next storyline.

Grind more Ninefold Abyss points, exchange for some tank skill books.

Now it seemed…

The plan had been shattered!

"Fuck it, if I scrape together the points, that Goddess of Fate shouldn't screw me over!"

The bolder a person is, the greater their yield!

If you don't push yourself, you'll never know where your limits lie.

Closing the exchange panel, Luo Chenyu immediately opened his backpack space to check the rewards from the third storyline.

Now, the fifty Demonic Dragon Abyss Map Fragments had merged into one, becoming a complete map.

He opened it and was stunned!

Because……

The location of the Demonic Dragon Abyss was actually just off the coast not far from East Sea City, overseas, a dangerous land occupied by Gao Jie fierce beasts — the Spine of Heaven Archipelago!

The Spine of Heaven Archipelago was very famous; it was not an archipelago originally native to Blue Star.

Instead, it was a strange map that appeared after the fusion, with many special fierce beasts on it, and also many wild treasure chests.

But the Gao Jie fierce beasts everywhere blocked humanity's steps of exploration.

"Must wait until after the third advancement before I can go……"

Luo Chenyu also knew the danger of the Spine of Heaven Archipelago — it was not a place he, a little newbie, could set foot in.

"But it won't be long now!"

At this moment, he turned his gaze toward another item.

【Heavenly Mandate Source Fruit】(Bound)

Quality: Forbidden

Type: Special Treasure

Effect: Can be consumed, Luck +10, guaranteed awakening of the Heavenly Mandate talent, high probability of obtaining a General talent, small probability of obtaining a class-specific talent!

Note: A gift from the Goddess of Fate!

……

"Hiss, it's actually this treasure!"

In fact, Luo Chenyu had never heard of the 【Heavenly Mandate Source Fruit】.

But he knew this type of rare treasure.

Talent — not every class-changer had it. Take himself, for example: because his initial three attributes were maxed, after his attributes reached 10,000 points he would awaken ordinary talents of the related attributes.

And those class-changers whose initial attributes were not maxed.

Also had ways to awaken talents.

Among them, the easiest to obtain, and the most straightforward in effect, treasure was the 【Source Fruit】!

It was not actually a fruit; usually only fierce beasts and demonic filth could drop it.

As long as one consumed a 【Source Fruit】, there was a certain probability of awakening a beginner talent, but…… that probability was truly speech-inducing.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the 【Source Fruit】 was the easiest treasure to obtain — that was only by comparison among its own kind.
