Reaching the shore, Feng Qi chose to sit down and rest.
After two days and two nights of intense activity, he was beginning to feel the fatigue.
During his break, he retrieved a bottle of "Mental Soothing Potion" from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and drained it in one gulp.
A brief frown crossed his face before his mental consciousness felt as if it were being immersed in warm, flowing water—utterly comforting.
After a few minutes, the sensation faded. Feng Qi closed his eyes, focusing on conserving his energy.
He completely relaxed his external vigilance, allowing his mental consciousness to sink into his Sea of Consciousness.
As for any potential external threats, he wasn't worried.
No living creature, not even Little Black, could evade the Narrator's perception and launch a surprise attack.
Whenever danger approached, the Narrator would provide an advance warning, giving Feng Qi ample time to prepare his response.
With a fierce battle looming, Feng Qi decided to enhance his strength, ensuring he would be better equipped to face the upcoming conflict.
In the previous Future Dream Timeline, he had slain numerous domain creatures, reaping a wealth of innate abilities.
Apart from the "Earth Element Resistance" gained from killing the stone giant, he found the other abilities underwhelming, offering negligible improvements to his overall power.
Feng Qi categorized innate talents into two main types: passive and active.
He retained all passive innate talents.
The defining characteristic of these abilities was that they required no active activation or use, constantly providing benefits to his body.
For example, his earliest acquired talent, "Resilience," enhanced his physical toughness.
This was a typical passive ability.
Other passive abilities operated similarly, their enhancements directly manifesting in his body.
As for active abilities, he selectively retained the most advantageous ones.
Active abilities required conscious activation and release, consuming his internal qi blood during use.
This meant that many active abilities could interfere with each other.
For instance, activating Blood Source Form and then using another qi blood-consuming active ability would inevitably shorten the duration of Blood Source Form.
Therefore, having more active abilities wasn't necessarily better.
His ideal strategy was to assemble a set of active talents that complemented his combat style.
As for the unwanted active abilities, they now had a purpose after acquiring the Three-Tailed.
During his previous sacrifice and on the journey to Heijue Island, he had slain numerous domain creatures.
These creatures yielded eleven new innate talents.
Apart from the passive talents "water element resistance" and "Water Skin," he removed all the remaining talent ability orbs.
"Three-Tailed!"
His consciousness sent out a wave of communication, contacting the Miracle Token of "Evolution" floating above the crimson-gold pearl at the center of his Sea of Consciousness.
After a brief wait, Three-Tailed's head emerged from the token, followed by its entire body.
Looking around excitedly, it bounded over to Feng Qi.
"Eat!" Feng Qi said, holding out the green talent ability orb to Three-Tailed's mouth.
Having grown accustomed to the decomposition process, Three-Tailed reluctantly opened its mouth and swallowed the orb.
Its body flickered between light and dark. After a short pause, it spat out thirteen small golden beads—talent ability point.
Feng Qi immediately offered the second talent ability orb, then the third, fourth, and so on, until the ninth.
After counting the final batch of decomposed talent ability point, he opened his status panel.
Feng Qi
Innate Talents: water element resistance, Water Skin, Daze, Poison, Purple Soul, Great Force, Tough Hide, Swiftness, Steel Bones, Thorns, Regeneration, Adamant Fangs, Malevolence, Blood Source, Nightmare, Resilience, elite undead
Strength Rating: Silver-Mid Tier (without Blood Source Form activated)
Mental Strength: Weak
Bloodline: Human (Intermediate)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 7805/10000
Talent Points (available for innate ability advancement): 267
Adding the remaining talent points from before, he now had a total of 267 talent points.
He pondered deeply about how to use them.
After much hesitation, he decided to invest the talent points in advancing his Blood Source ability.
Blood Source was undoubtedly his most practical ability at this stage, with considerable growth potential. Perhaps by continuously advancing it, he could eventually unlock the complete Dark God form.
Although he had only obtained one of the six fundamental origins of the Dark God, the combat power of its fully realized form was terrifying.
He still vividly remembered the terrifying combat power that could stir the winds and clouds with a mere wave of his hand.
The ultimate advancement of Blood Source might very well lead to the Dark God Body form he had experienced in the Sacrifice Line.
Correcting a misconception: The evolution token's unique feature is to decompose innate abilities into their talent origin, which can then be used to enhance and advance various innate abilities. Essentially, as long as you have enough talent points, there is no upper limit to how far any of your abilities can advance.
This naturally includes your Blood Source ability. Even if you reach the Dark God form, as long as you possess sufficient talent points, this ability can continue to improve.
Hearing the Narrator's analysis, Feng Qi was stunned.
"This doesn't quite make sense, does it? I've always believed that talent points enhance innate abilities by pushing them toward their ultimate form, which inherently has a limit."
Your analysis is correct, but talent points are actually composed of the disassembled primordial essence of innate abilities. Even without a path, they can forge one.
For example, when your Blood Source Ability advances to the Dark God's final form, there's no precedent to follow. At that point, primordial energy automatically helps you chart the subsequent trajectory, guiding you to the most suitable method for further advancement and then completing the evolution.
"That's incredible!"
All things are constructed from the primordial essence of rules. Even spiritual energy is merely a derivative of the laws of heaven and earth. Seemingly absurd abilities, once their essence is understood, can be explained through scientific principles.
Hearing this, Feng Qi nodded in understanding.
The Narrator continued:
Perhaps many abilities we can't explain simply stem from our lack of understanding of their fundamental composition. Consider Little Black's Undying and Indestructible nature, your time-space travel, the Spirit Energy Clan's Holy Spirit Consciousness Repository, Qin Shikong's future deduction capabilities, and so on.
Feng Qi nodded in agreement with the Narrator's analysis.
Everything mysterious and inexplicable is merely something not yet understood.
Just as early humans attributed all unknown phenomena to superstition, modern minds now possess the knowledge to explain these mysteries.
After glancing at his status panel again, he began enhancing his Blood Source ability.
The process was simple: he merely needed to push the talent points—represented by small golden talent beads—toward the Blood Source Talent Orb.
Upon contact, the talent beads were instantly devoured and digested.
As he continued feeding the orb, the Blood Source Talent Orb underwent a transformation.
The dark-green flame sigils on its surface became more distinct, and a thin layer of crimson mist began to envelop the talent beads.
After counting his remaining talent beads, he chose to continue feeding the orb.
Finally, when only 23 talent beads remained, the Blood Source Talent Orb completed another advancement.
