Chapter 582: Jiang Chen's Shock, the Sole Divine-level Talent

~8 min read 1,508 words

The mystery of the law is fascinating enough to trap anyone who falls into it.

Since the moment Jiang Chen began the Job Change, he has mobilized his entire strength, merging it with Spiritual Power, and igniting the potential of the Skill star core.

He gathered these three forces, forming an energy more majestic than any Job Change formation, and when it erupted, it triggered a resonance of the law.

The arrival of the law allowed the Job Change to complete smoothly; his attributes quickly reached their limit, and thereafter broke through that limit, achieving the profession's sublimation.

As Antares instructed, Jiang Chen, relying on his own strength, successfully accomplished all of this without any external aid.

Now that the Talent Divine Stone has been activated, Jiang Chen begins to carry out this task that is more beneficial than harmful to him.

He follows the starlight formed by the Talent Divine Stone, pursuing it all the way, until the world of talents reveals a subtle crack to him.

Through this crack, Jiang Chen glimpses two Flames.

They blaze fiercely, both Flames shining with purple radiance, filled with a mysterious and noble aura.

These two purple Flames each represent one of his two talents.

One is a unique Divine-level Talent—Perfect Amplification, which is one source of Jiang Chen's formidable combat power.

Without this talent, however powerful his Skill, it could not achieve challenges that span multiple levels.

The other purple Flame, also a unique Divine-level Talent, grants Jiang Chen great survivability and endless Spiritual Power.

These two talents are each powerful, standing side by side; although their functions differ, in essence there is no superiority.

The starlight brought by the Talent Divine Stone begins to converge in the world of talents, gradually coalescing into a focal point.

A speck of firelight appears out of nowhere, then gradually expands, becoming a golden Flame.

When this golden Flame first forms, it appears relatively weak, but that is only in comparison to the purple Flames; in reality it is not inferior, also exuding the aura of the law.

However, in Jiang Chen's eyes, this newly formed golden Flame still looks considerably inferior to the two prior purple Flames; their natures are entirely different.

Although starlight continues to pour in and the golden Flame keeps strengthening, its nature has already set its ceiling, destined not to be high enough to surpass those two purple Flames.

From its birth, the golden Flame has been positioned below, its status clearly less noble than that of the purple Flames.

Jiang Chen speculates that the purple Flames represent the unique Divine-level Talent, noble and singular.

And the golden Flame, though perhaps also Divine-level, is not a unique talent.

Perhaps others can also possess similar talents.

Despite a slight disappointment, Jiang Chen does not intend to give up.

He resolves, "Since a talent can merge into the soul and be nourished by Spiritual Power, can Spiritual Power become its sustenance and thereby strengthen the talent?"

He acts on the thought without a moment's hesitation.

The Talent Awakening will not take long; the Flame is gradually growing, and the opportunity is fleeting, allowing no hesitation.

He follows the newly opened fissure, forcefully injecting Spiritual Power into the world of talents.

However, to Jiang Chen's disappointment, Spiritual Power cannot at all merge into the burning, expanding golden Flame.

It forms an independent cluster in the world of talents, clearly separated from the golden Flame, difficult to contact.

Jiang Chen feels unwilling, but no matter how hard he tries, it is of no avail.

Until the golden Flame is fully formed, a message flashes in his mind.

"Talent Acquired: Reassembly"

"Reassembly: When a Summoned Entity truly dies, it will be reassembled, and the reassembled Summoned Entity will restore to its peak state. Reassembly can be performed once every five minutes."

Seeing this talent information, Jiang Chen realizes this is another powerful survivability Skill.

Originally, his Undead Legion is extremely hard to eliminate; even when destroyed, it has three Rebirth opportunities.

The first two Rebirths are granted by his Skill, each restoring to peak state.

The third Rebirth relies on the Undead Aura.

To completely eradicate the Undead Legion, one must kill them four times.

However, the Undead Legion does not die, and he himself will not die.

In other words, he also has three chances to avoid death, so killing him likewise requires four attempts.

Yet this talent, while adding one more Rebirth chance, has a cooldown of five minutes, making it rather marginal in real combat.

Jiang Chen cannot help but feel a bit disappointed; this talent may be a lifeline for others, but for him it is merely a garnish—whether present or not makes little difference.

An enemy capable of killing him four times can probably kill him once more.

The awakening effect brought by the Talent Divine Stone is indeed not strong.

He deepens his realization that relying on external forces is never as reliable as depending on his own power.

However, Jiang Chen does not notice that although the talent has awakened, the gate to the world of talents has not closed because of it.

His Spiritual Power continues to flow incessantly into the world of talents.

Within a short time, a massive influx of Spiritual Power enters, occupying almost half of his Spiritual Power.

These Spiritual Powers generate a strange reaction in the world of talents, accompanied by faint sparks.

Suddenly, a new golden Flame abruptly forms, shocking Jiang Chen.

"Fourth talent?" he wonders, as the number of talents is commonly limited to three, a well‑known fact.

Even Antares once explicitly told him that exceeding three talents would cause the soul to collapse.

Yet before him, the fourth talent slowly takes shape.

"Is my soul about to collapse?" Jiang Chen feels a moment of panic, but immediately after, he senses no instability in his soul.

"System!" Jiang Chen suddenly realizes this may be related to the system.

He no longer hesitates, continuing to pour more Spiritual Power into the world of talents, becoming nourishment for that fourth Flame.

This fourth Flame is also golden, but compared with the previous golden Flame, it seems to harbor a deeper power.

A vague anticipation rises in Jiang Chen; he realizes this may be exactly what he has been hoping for—awakening one talent via the Talent Divine Stone, while the system might help awaken another talent, perhaps even merging and optimizing the two.

Jiang Chen, filled with anticipation, waits for the system to appear.

Flame finally fully formed, and the talent's information also surfaced.

"Acquired talent: Rebirth"

"Rebirth: …"

However, before Jiang Chen could examine it closely, the talent's information abruptly vanished.

Immediately after, a pleasant voice rang in his mind, that was Jiang Chen's long‑absent voice.

"Detected host acquiring New Talent, optimization in progress."

Jiang Chen felt great joy, "The system has indeed appeared!"

In the outside world, a smile again appeared on Jiang Chen's face, making Antares beside him even more puzzled.

"What on earth is this guy happy about?" Antares wondered, "What's so funny about changing a class?"

In the pitch‑black wasteland world, wild beasts roared and repeatedly lunged at Jiang Chen, but were instantly sliced into fragments by an unseen force. Antares's power shielded Jiang Chen, preventing the beasts from approaching.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's expression turned shocked. In the talent world, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A Necromancer Summoner clad in a long robe suddenly appeared in the talent world. It gently waved the staff in its hand, causing the talent world to shake violently. Then, two massive hands emerged, lifted two golden Flames, and slowly brought them together.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded; the two golden Flames each represented a different talent, and he had never imagined they could merge. Yet, under the Necromancer Summoner's law influence, the two Flames miraculously began to fuse.

A wave of inexplicable shock rose in Jiang Chen's heart; this Necromancer Summoner was not new to him. Every time a Skill awakened and a demonstration was performed, it would appear. Even when he first entered the Ancient Battlefield and was trapped in an illusion by an Abyss Illusion Demon, it was the Summoner that saved him.

Jiang Chen finally realized that this Necromancer Summoner was not an ordinary being, but an image manifested by the system.

"It's the system!" Jiang Chen suddenly understood, "This is an image created by the system."

"So the system has always been here!"

Jiang Chen finally understood that the system does not only appear during Skill fusion; it also manifests during Skill awakening to demonstrate skills for him. This system is more marvelous than he imagined.

The two Flames rapidly fused under the Necromancer Summoner's control, then a streak of purple light sprouted from the Flame's core, swiftly tinting the entire Flame purple.

In the talent world, three purple Flames each occupied a corner, forming a triangular pattern that glittered brilliantly, appearing dazzlingly radiant.

"Talent optimization complete."

"Recombined talent and Rebirth talent have completed fusion."

"Host has obtained a unique Divine-level Talent: Complete Rebirth."
