124: Chapter 124 Nine Luminaries' Wisdom

Qin Ce stared at that dark-red fierce beast egg, weighing his options repeatedly in his mind.

Right then.

That warm sensation within his body began to surge.

Reborn had activated automatically.

The warm current welled up from deep within his body, slowly repairing the cells, tissues, and organs that had been eroded by the intent of "Wither."

His skin began to regain its elasticity.

His hair began to regain its luster.

His strength returned, bit by bit.

Half an hour later, Qin Ce opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

His body had largely returned to normal.

He lowered his head and looked at the fierce beast egg in his hand once more.

Those dark-red patterns were flickering slightly now, as if responding to his gaze.

"Minghuo..." Qin Ce murmured in a low voice.

He was reluctant to give this thing up.

But he truly didn't dare to bear the cost lightly.

Just as he was caught in this dilemma.

Ding!

A heavenly notification sound suddenly rang out in his mind!

[Congratulations to the host for completing the "Battle for Precedence" mission!]

[Mission evaluation in progress...]

[Evaluation complete: Faced with the mission competition from twelve squads within the class, you suppressed everyone with your own strength—Excellent; in just three short months, you established prestige within the class, making others proactively avoid competing with you—Excellent; competing for first place while lagging in level, you dared to face the competition head-on—Excellent; with Bronze Rank strength, you delivered the critical fatal blow on the beast tide battlefield, creating a miracle—Outstanding!]

[Overall Evaluation: SSS-grade (Perfect)]

[Issuing Reward: mythic-grade Talent × 1]

[Additionally rewarding the host with a one-time experience of a mythic-grade talent's buff, which will assist the host in early activation of Starlight insights.]

At this moment.

A mythic-grade talent!

It's here!

A surge of burning excitement rose from the bottom of Qin Ce's heart.

Another mythic-grade talent!

His options had increased once again.

As for the Minghuo side...

Before Qin Ce could think further.

A massive stream of information flooded into his mind.

It was a void space.

There was nothing in the space, only endless darkness.

Then, a light shone.

It was a deer.

Pure white all over, with an elegant form and a pair of magnificent coral-like antlers on its head.

And the most eye-catching thing was the cluster of light floating in the center of its head.

A nine-colored cluster of light.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold.

The nine colors intertwined and shifted together, forming a slowly rotating halo.

With every rotation of that light orb, countless tiny beams of light spread out in all directions, illuminating the entire void.

As that light gradually enveloped him, Qin Ce could clearly feel it.

His thoughts became clearer.

His perception became more acute.

In that instant, his comprehension seemed to increase countless times over.

He could even "see" those skill principles that were originally obscure and difficult to understand becoming simple and clear;

Those combat techniques that originally required repeated deliberation were now etched into his heart like instinct.

The Nine-Colored Deer raised its head and glanced at him.

Those eyes were clear as water, yet deep as an abyss.

Then, the nine-colored halo atop its head slowly floated up, passed through the void space, and landed on Qin Ce's head.

[Obtained mythic-grade Talent: Nine-Radiance Spiritual Wisdom]

[Talent Type: Mental/Wisdom]

[Talent Effects:] (For the host only)

[1. Universal Wisdom Light: Passively increases the host's comprehension, perception, and thinking speed. Efficiency is increased tenfold when comprehending skills, analyzing battle situations, or solving puzzles.]

[2. Flash of Inspiration: At critical moments, there is a certain probability of triggering a "Flash of Inspiration," instantly perceiving the essence of a problem or an enemy's weakness. Trigger probability is proportional to the host's Spirit stat.]

[3. Source Insight: When performing deep insight on any unknown object, there is a certain probability of glimpsing its source. This includes but is not limited to: the essence of skills, the weaknesses of fierce beasts, the true uses of heavenly treasures, and even... the trajectories of others' fates.]

[Note: Nine-Radiance Spiritual Wisdom is the pinnacle of wisdom and the beginning of insight. One who possesses this talent will embark on the path of knowing all things.]

Qin Ce stared blankly at that description, his mind a total blank.

This...

What kind of talent was this?

Increasing comprehension tenfold.

Able to trigger a Flash of Inspiration at critical moments.

Even able to glimpse the source of things.

This wasn't a combat talent, this was...

A wisdom talent.

But sometimes, wisdom was even more terrifying than combat power.

Because combat power could only let you win a single battle, while wisdom could let you win a war.

Qin Ce felt that nine-colored halo, feeling the infinite wisdom contained within it.

His previous combat insights.

The various skills he had learned.

His combat coordination with Qingluan.

His future development plans.

Everything was like a sudden flash of inspiration, or a sudden enlightenment.

Every aspect had been improved.

His entire wisdom and experience seemed to have advanced by more than one level.

Suddenly.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

Nine-Radiance Spiritual Wisdom could perceive the source and peer into fate.

Then what about Minghuo?

What was the solution for this Minghuo matter before him?

In the next moment.

Countless pieces of information intertwined in his mind.

A plan emerged inexplicably.

The mythic-grade talent he had just obtained had the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

The Raven King's void alien energy could communicate with space.

The talent Blood Flame had the source ability of plundering.

And the core flaw of Minghuo was nothing more than the need to absorb external energy at all times.

If...

If he merged these three?

Once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed.

Qin Ce took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to carefully deliberate.

The flaw of Minghuo lay in the fact that the Blood Flame within its body would consume itself. Without external energy replenishment, it would consume itself to death.

But what if it could combine with the void alien energy to communicate with space and absorb energy from the void at all times?

The void was infinite.

Space itself contained infinite energy.

If it could communicate with space and draw energy from the void, then it wouldn't need to rely on devouring flesh and blood.

But with a source of energy, it still needed control.

Minghuo's talent was too overbearing and too malevolent; once it lost control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And Nine-Radiance Spiritual Wisdom could precisely enhance wisdom and strengthen control, in addition to seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

So if he integrated Nine-Radiance Spiritual Wisdom into Minghuo's soul core to give it higher intelligence, it could perfectly control its own power without losing control or losing itself.

The combination of the three—

Not only could it compensate for Minghuo's flaws, but it could also transform its nature from malevolent to auspicious.

It might even...

Produce some kind of incredible evolution.

Qin Ce opened his eyes, and an unprecedented light burned within them.

It's done.

This line of thinking is feasible.
