163: Chapter 163 Deceiving the Heavens

SSS-grade talent?

Life Dominator?

Looking at that line on the system panel emitting a brilliant golden light and filled with endless temptation...

Wang Pingan's breathing stagnated at that moment.

His brain went blank with a loud "buzz."

He had thought this "source of creation" was very precious.

But he never dreamed it would be so precious that it could be used to create an "SSS" super-grade talent!

One must know that talent is the most fundamental and important thing for a martial artist!

It determines a martial artist's upper limit!

A monster with an "SSS" grade talent, even if he spent every day lying down and sleeping, his cultivation speed would still be countless times faster than ordinary people with "F" grade talents!

And now, Wang Pingan actually had the chance to possess such a talent that only existed in legends!

Moreover, it was the most mysterious and powerful "Life-type" talent!

"Life Dominator"!

Just hearing the name alone made it sound incredibly badass!

*Gulp.*

Wang Pingan swallowed hard.

His heart, which was already pounding from becoming suddenly wealthy, beat even faster at this moment!

He had no doubt.

As long as he possessed this talent,

his future achievements would be limitless!

"Create! Right now! Immediately!"

In his heart, Wang Pingan let out a frantic roar like a nouveau riche, filled with unquestionable madness!

As for the consumption of one million pay-to-win points?

It was just a drop in the bucket!

Compared to the "SSS" grade talent he was about to obtain, forget one million—even if it were ten million, he wouldn't even blink!

[Command confirmed.]

[Deducting pay-to-win points: 1,000,000 points.]

[Consuming core material: 'source of creation'...]

['SSS' grade talent—'Life Dominator', creating...]

The moment the voice faded,

the light from the "source of creation" in Wang Pingan's hand, which was emitting a seven-colored glazed radiance, suddenly dimmed!

Immediately following that,

a pure force of life, more grand, more majestic, and more primordial than any breakthrough or reinforcement he had ever experienced before,

exploded out from that crystal!

It was no longer simply surging into Wang Pingan's body.

Instead, in a way he completely couldn't understand,

it acted directly upon his soul, his genes, and the deepest depths of his life!

At that moment,

Wang Pingan felt as if he had "ascended."

He seemed to see the birth of life.

From the most primitive single-celled organisms,

to complex multi-celled organisms.

From the ocean to the land.

From crawling to standing upright.

The history of life's evolution over billions of years flashed through his mind like a scroll, scene by scene!

He felt as if he had become the Creator of this planet!

He could create life at will,

and he could also strip life away at will.

Life and death existed only within a single thought of his!

This was the "Life Dominator"!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully creating the 'SSS' super-grade talent—'Life Dominator'!]

[Talent Effect 1: Absolute Control. The host can absolutely control all of their own life activities. Including but not limited to: cell division, metabolism, gene recombination, wound healing, etc. As long as the soul is not extinguished, the physical body can be eternal.]

[Talent Effect 2: Life Siphon. The host can forcibly extract the 'Life Source Energy' of any living entity through contact, using it to replenish themselves or converting it into pay-to-win points.]

[Talent Effect 3: Life Creation. The host can consume their own 'Life Source Energy' to create simple, non-intelligent life constructs out of thin air.]

Looking at the three heaven-defying talent effect descriptions on the system panel,

Wang Pingan's mouth hung wide open, and drool was almost leaking out.

This is... too damn perverted, isn't it?!

Especially those "Absolute Control" and "Life Siphon" effects!

This basically gave him an "undying body" and an "infinite power bank"!

Who would dare to fight a war of attrition with him in the future?

He could stand still and let the opponent hit him for three days and three nights, and the opponent would be sucked dry by him!

"Awesome!"

"This wave was not a loss!"

Wang Pingan was overjoyed.

He felt that these one million pay-to-win points were spent very worthily!

However,

just as he was immersed in this immense joy,

he suddenly thought of a very serious and fatal problem.

The "source of creation" had been absorbed by him.

Then...

What was he supposed to use to give an account to the Galaxy Emperor later?

He couldn't exactly tell them, "Oh, I ate that thing; it tasted okay, kind of like a gummy candy," right?

"Damn it, I was so busy being happy I forgot about this."

Wang Pingan's expression instantly collapsed.

He looked at the "corpse" of the "source of creation" in his hand, which had completely lost all its energy and turned into a dull, unremarkable ordinary stone.

Cold sweat started rolling down his forehead.

What should he do?

Just as he was pacing around like an ant on a hot pan,

his gaze inadvertently swept over the third effect of the "Life Dominator" talent that had just been unlocked on the system panel.

[Life Creation: The host can consume their own 'Life Source Energy' to create simple, non-intelligent life constructs out of thin air.]

"Life Creation?"

A bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Wang Pingan's brain!

An extremely bold, crazy, and even somewhat whimsical idea began to grow wildly in his heart!

Could he...

use this talent to "create" another "source of creation" himself?

Although it would definitely be a fake.

But as long as he could make it realistic enough.

As long as he could fool those so-called "experts" and "mentors."

Wouldn't that be enough?

Once this thought emerged, it was like a prairie fire that could no longer be contained!

"Let's do it!"

Wang Pingan gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes!

He could only treat a dead horse like a living one now!

He took a deep breath and pushed his two thousand points of spirit to the limit!

At the same time, he mobilized the talent power of "Life Dominator" he had just acquired without reservation!

He held out his right hand.

In the center of his palm,

a mass of the purest, most primitive, and massive Life Source Energy began to slowly converge and condense!

He began to recall.

Recalling every detail of the real "source of creation" from just now.

Its shape.

Its color.

The complex energy structure inside it that flowed like stars.

Then he used his spirit as a "mold."

He used his own "Life Source Energy" as the "raw material."

He began a grand... "counterfeiting" project that could be called "deceiving the heavens"!

This process was countless times more difficult than anything he had repaired before!

It required a meticulous control over energy and laws that was almost akin to a "god"!

But Wang Pingan did it!

His bug-like [Eye of Truth]!

His newly acquired "SSS" grade talent, "Life Dominator"!

The two combined perfectly at this moment!

A brand new "source of creation," emitting a seven-colored glazed radiance with countless "stars" flowing inside as well,

slowly took shape bit by bit in his palm!

Although the energy inside it was far less massive than the genuine article.

Although the laws inside it were far less profound than the genuine article.

But its appearance, its aura, and the fluctuations it emitted, which were full of "life source,"

were ninety-nine percent similar to the genuine article!

It was enough to pass off a fake as the real thing!

"Whew..."

The moment this "knockoff version" of the source of creation completely took shape,

Wang Pingan's body suddenly swayed.

He felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

This "counterfeiting" had almost completely consumed the "Life Source Energy" in his body.

But looking at this masterpiece in his hand, which could be called a "perfect work of art,"

an incredibly brilliant, proud smile of "succeeding in a scheme" appeared on his face.

"Done."

"Finished."

He carefully placed this "knockoff version" of the source of creation back into its original position in the Pool of Life.

Then he took the "corpse" of the "genuine article" whose energy he had sucked dry,

and casually threw it into his storage bracelet.

After doing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced outside the canyon,

at the three teams still fighting to the death for the "entry tickets."

A profound smile of "retiring after a job well done" appeared on his face.

Then his figure swayed again,

silently merging into the void.

Hiding his achievements and his name.
