Chapter 200: Returning to Reality! Questioning My Score?

【Item: Seed of Life】

【Quality: None】

【Description: The Seed of Life left behind by Augustus, but over centuries of transformation into a lich, his Seed of Life was long ago corrupted by death energy; even with the nurturing of the Mother Tree, it is virtually impossible for it to sprout or bear fruit again, unless…】

…

"Even with the Mother Tree's nurturing, there is virtually no chance of revival."

"Unless?" Fiona also glanced at the information provided by the Detection Spell, her expression puzzled: "As far as I know, a Seed of Life completely corrupted and stripped of vitality cannot be revived."

"During the ancient Abyss War, we suffered heavy losses precisely because the Abyssal Force severely corrodes the Seed of Life—it was, arguably, the war with the greatest number of fallen comrades in thousands of years."

"Abyssal Force is a power forged from the fusion of darkness, death, despair, and many other evil energies—its essence is far stronger, and evil to the extreme."

"Even a trace of Abyssal Force can rapidly erode and consume the vitality within a Seed of Life; the only solution is to request the Mother Tree's healing."

"But that only works if the Seed of Life still retains some vitality."

"I have never heard of any method capable of restoring vitality to a Seed of Life that has already died completely."

Hearing Fiona's words,

Jiang Li felt a pang of disappointment—apparently, Augustus's Seed of Life… was truly beyond hope.

But then,

Fiona suddenly said:

"If we had a higher-level Detection Spell, we might uncover the remaining hints."

"Higher-level Detection Spell?" Jiang Li frowned.

"Yes." Fiona nodded. "The Detection Spell wielded by a Class User is merely the most basic, initial form, so when scanning a target, it only reveals crude information."

"The higher the level of the Detection Spell, the more and more hidden information it can reveal."

"The information we see about the Seed of Life now is likely incomplete because our Detection Spell is too low-level."

Upon hearing this,

Jiang Li's heart stirred.

So the Detection Spell has levels… he had never heard of this before.

Since the Detection Spell was a passive skill automatically granted upon awakening a Class, he had never considered whether it had any advanced forms.

Now, hearing it from Fiona, a thought quietly formed in his mind.

"There are many types of Detection Skills."

"Some are the Eye of X-ray, capable of seeing through targets."

"Some are the Eye of Prompt, said to display hints in the style of a narrator when encountering danger or opportunity; once, an assassin Class User used the Eye of Prompt to evade countless dangers and acquire countless resources."

"There's also a skill rumored to be called the Eye of Omniscience."

"Possessing the power of omniscience, it can uncover all information and secrets in this world—even the system that envelops all realms and dimensions can be probed to some degree, though this is merely legend."

Fiona sighed: "Even an Eye of Insight would let us uncover the remaining information—but such skills are extremely rare; even among our elf clan, few possess advanced forms of the Detection Spell."

Jiang Li listened quietly on the surface.

But inside, he was filled with delight.

"Perhaps… it's not impossible…"

Jiang Li thought—he knew… there existed skill books for the Detection Spell.

If skill books existed,

Then that meant… he could use the Synthesizer Class's synthesis ability to upgrade them!

"Eye of Insight? Eye of Prompt? Eye of Omniscience?"

Jiang Li clenched his fists silently.

As long as he could synthesize the skill books, he was certain he could obtain these advanced versions!

…

…

Afterwards,

Jiang Li and Li Mengying and the others chatted a while longer with Fiona, Aelia, and the other elves.

"Time is almost up."

Fiona glanced at the countdown before her… it marked the moment they would be sent back to the real world.

"Then let's say goodbye here."

Jiang Li and Li Mengying and the others said.

"Jiang Li."

"I'll miss you."

Aelia, Tina, Sif, and the other elves came forward one by one to bid farewell—some embraced with sorrow, others lingered with reluctance; toward Jiang Li, they carried boundless gratitude.

Without Jiang Li, they might never have escaped their fate as dark elves, nor would they ever have had the chance to return to the real world, to the Natural Woods and the Elf Forest.
