443: Have the best of both worlds

Tello was somewhat surprised, not expecting this unfamiliar Cosmic Beast to be so foolish as to actually agree to his request to open its mind.

It was completely unlike the shrewd appearance it had shown before.

Could there be a trick involved?

Looking at Lin Tianwei suspiciously, Tello ultimately chose to continue with his original plan.

It was a joke. In front of him, an Immortal-level Third-Tier expert, how could a mere Cosmic Level Seventh-Tier Cosmic Beast play tricks?

The moment it accepted his inheritance would be the moment its brain was completely blown apart, resulting in complete death.

Thinking this, Tello directly poured his carefully prepared inheritance towards Lin Tianwei with immense force.

It was fast, vast, and ferocious, attempting to directly overload Lin Tianwei's consciousness.

If he could subtly manipulate Lin Tianwei's consciousness and make him self-detonate against Halin, that would be an unexpected bonus.

Vigilance, defense, deep suspicion.

This was all Tello felt in the Super Brain.

He was, after all, a bit too naive, actually hoping that Lin Tianwei would completely open his mind.

How could there be such a foolish Cosmic Beast in the universe?

Since that was the case, he would use the vast knowledge within his inheritance to completely overload the consciousness of this ignorant Cosmic Beast.

Thinking this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Tello's eyes, and a massive amount of knowledge representing the Immortal inheritance surged towards Lin Tianwei.

He believed that in just a moment, Lin Tianwei's consciousness would be completely overwhelmed, turning him into a soulless puppet that had lost its consciousness.

Ultimately, he would be completely obliterated by the residual battle power.

However, he quickly realized something was wrong; Lin Tianwei's consciousness endurance was simply too strong.

Like a greedy black hole, he was frantically absorbing the knowledge he was pouring in, showing no signs of being full or overwhelmed.

This was completely unlike how a Cosmic Level Cosmic Beast's consciousness should behave.

Before Tello could even react, Lin Tianwei had already completed the reception of the inheritance, completely absorbing Tello's Immortal inheritance.

Not only that, but Lin Tianwei, as if waking from a dream, said in surprise, "That's it? It's over? Is that all?"

"So this is what an Immortal-level inheritance is like. It truly lives up to its reputation."

It wasn't that Lin Tianwei was intentionally mocking Tello; these were his most genuine thoughts.

In his imagination, an Immortal-level inheritance should be something incredibly heaven-defying.

It should be advanced knowledge that would take a long time to adapt to even after reaching the Domain Lord Level.

Yet, he found that the knowledge Tello transmitted was merely some methods on how to use Law Power to strengthen oneself,

as well as a large amount of information on how to cultivate the Star Refining Art, how to use the Star Refining Art to transform one's internal world, and how to enable one's internal world to produce and store more Law Power.

The so-called achievement of immortality is a process of using Law Power to temper one's body, allowing one's body to possess the characteristics of the Law and achieve eternal immortality.

Law Power is not rootless duckweed; to obtain a large amount of Law Power, it is necessary to transform one's internal world.

Just as Lin Tianwei saw within the fiery body, using powerful Law Power to completely transform every star in the internal world,

making them storers, releasers, and producers of Law Power.

The difference between the first and ninth tiers is not only reflected in the degree to which Law Power tempers the body but also in the progress of the internal world's transformation.

After reaching the peak of immortality, one must not only temper the entire body with Law Power,

but also transform all the stars within the body into Law Stars.

This process is incredibly long, and even for those with exceptional Talent, it requires a significant amount of time.

However, it also corresponds to terrifying rewards—the reward of eternal immortality.

Cosmic Beasts who achieve immortality will completely break free from the shackles of lifespan, becoming eternally living beings.

As long as they lie low, they can live until the very last episode of the TV series.

Although this knowledge broadened Lin Tianwei's horizons and gave him a rough idea of the path he should take next,

it only had that much effect.

After all, Lin Tianwei's condensed body was a Law Body, completely different from the Star Refining Art cultivated by ordinary Cosmic Beasts.

It could serve as a reference, but it could not be directly followed.

Moreover, the method of tempering one's body with Law Power, as described in Tello's inheritance, was far, far inferior to the knowledge he gained from the Talent: Cosmic Beast Body (Mythical), completely unworthy of mention.

That was the Talent: Cosmic Beast Body (Mythical), a Mythical-level Talent, a Talent possessed by a Star Devouring Behemoth. How could a mere Tello be compared to such an existence?

What Tello considered vast knowledge was nothing but a joke in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

Let alone the upgraded Super Brain, even Lin Tianwei himself could withstand it.

This feeling was like meticulously preparing a large vat,

expecting a torrential downpour, only to find that what ultimately arrived was just a single drop of rain—a feeling of disappointment.

No wonder Lin Tianwei, who usually had excellent emotional control, also showed disappointment at this moment.

The only thing that was meaningful to Lin Tianwei was probably some of Tello's insights into the Law, which could slightly reduce the time Lin Tianwei needed to condense his Body of Talents.

Evidently, Lin Tianwei's nonchalant attitude angered Tello, making him feel greatly insulted.

Although he had held back and not transmitted his complete inheritance to Lin Tianwei,

it still contained a lot of valuable information, a treasure coveted by countless Cosmic Beasts.

Yet, he didn't expect it to be dismissed as utterly worthless by Lin Tianwei.

Most importantly, Tello could tell from Lin Tianwei's incredibly serious gaze that he wasn't joking.

In other words, this was completely Lin Tianwei's true thought.

"Pfft." That was Halin's booming laughter.

However, before Tello could say anything, he heard Halin's merciless taunt:

"Kid, I told you these five old guys' inheritances are no good."

"Otherwise, the five of them wouldn't have been stuck here with me for so long, gathering dust."

"Watch closely, and see what a truly powerful Immortal-level inheritance is!"

"Helping me, helping me escape, is your best choice."

He had been tricked.

Seeing Halin's arrogant display, Tello immediately realized he had fallen for Halin's wicked scheme.

The reason he was made to be the trailblazer was merely to make him bear all the risks.

After all, if he did well, he would receive no credit, but if he did poorly, he could very likely offend Lin Tianwei.

If his own selfishness and Halin's apparent selflessness made Lin Tianwei mistakenly believe that their inheritances were worthless,

then Lin Tianwei helping Halin escape was an already foreseeable outcome.

However, Tello now only dared to be angry but not speak.

He could only pray endlessly in his heart that Halin's inheritance would be a bit rubbish, at least enough to buy the other four Xia Luba Clan members an opportunity to transmit their Immortal inheritances to Lin Tianwei.

Unbeknownst to him, Tello's mindset had completely changed.

After realizing he couldn't scheme to kill Lin Tianwei, he had completely shifted his identity from controller to controlled.

His mind was now filled with thoughts of how to pay a suitable price to get Lin Tianwei to help him and the other beasts escape.

This was the benefit of playing both sides.

They didn't even need Lin Tianwei to act; they would start competing among themselves, giving Lin Tianwei endless opportunities.

Perhaps Tello was deemed too useless and eager to act, to prevent Lin Tianwei from becoming suspicious.

Or perhaps Halin simply wanted to show off and make his bargaining chips seem more abundant.

This time, Lin Tianwei felt an even more terrifying amount of knowledge than when Tello transmitted it.

It was frantically invading the Super Brain, attempting to completely overload it.

This is where the benefits of the Super Brain became apparent. An ordinary Cosmic Beast, suddenly receiving such a terrifying data stream, would experience some disorientation of consciousness.

It might even become intellectually disabled due to the violent impact on its consciousness.

The Super Brain itself had no self-awareness, or rather, its self was inherently a mass of data and code.

Even if it was instantly impacted by a terrifying data stream, Lin Tianwei could instantly repair it, restoring it to its original state.

In other words, no matter how hard Halin tried, he could not cause any harm to Lin Tianwei's main body.

Unless his consciousness impact was strong enough to break through the Super Brain's barrier.

But this was clearly impossible.

Not to mention that Lin Tianwei's Super Brain Talent had already been upgraded to King-level, his terrifying Mental Power attribute alone already far exceeded his level.

Moreover, Halin dared not use too much power against Lin Tianwei.

Not being a fool, he clearly knew who his true enemies were; those Cosmic Beasts of the Xia Luba Clan were his real adversaries.

Wasting energy to deal with Lin Tianwei would only give his enemies an opportunity, plunging himself into an abyss of eternal damnation.

Even so, Halin was still somewhat surprised that Lin Tianwei could fully accept the knowledge he transmitted.

This indicated that Lin Tianwei's consciousness was far stronger than he had imagined.

Tello hadn't been acting; rather, Lin Tianwei, this seemingly inconspicuous Cosmic Beast, truly had some substance.

Halin felt as if his inheritance had entered a bottomless pool, instantly absorbed and depleted.

Interesting.

After all this, Halin said no more, but continued to focus on dealing with the enemies before him.

Unlike Tello, he only had one Cosmic Beast, and he had to be extra careful to barely maintain balance and prevent himself from being completely overwhelmed by Lin Tianwei due to a moment of carelessness.

The current development, though somewhat unexpected by Halin, was precisely what he wanted.

After experiencing the power of the inheritance he imparted, he believed that any Cosmic Beast, unless an idiot, would know how to choose.

Only by choosing to help him would they choose the brightest path.

On the other side, after spending a little time, Lin Tianwei finally completely absorbed all the knowledge transmitted by Halin.

Under the Super Brain's ruthless conversion, Lin Tianwei's speed of absorbing the inheritance was terrifyingly fast.

If Halin knew that Lin Tianwei had completely absorbed his supposedly powerful inheritance in just a few minutes, he would probably have his eyes pop out.

Feeling the vast amount of knowledge transmitted by the Super Brain, Lin Tianwei had to admit that Halin did have some substance.

From the inheritance he transmitted, Halin's understanding of the Law was extremely profound.

While it might not completely enlighten Lin Tianwei, it could at least give him some insights.

The most important thing was the quantity.

One against five? Halin's inheritance was completely capable of being one against twenty.

The amount of information contained within it was more than twenty times that transmitted by Tello.

Was the difference between the two really that great?

Lin Tianwei immediately fell into doubt.

Given the huge difference in Law comprehension, coupled with the huge difference in strength, even with a numerical advantage, they absolutely could not fight to a draw.

He had been deceived; Tello had not given him his true inheritance.

He had merely given him something ambiguous, attempting to trick him and make him a sacrificial lamb in this battle.

Not only that, but Lin Tianwei also felt a threat the moment Tello's inheritance was transmitted.

If not for his powerful Mental Power protection, he might have already become Tello's puppet.

His request for Lin Tianwei to open his mind was never well-intentioned.

Since that was the case, then Lin Tianwei couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

He had made his decision, but Lin Tianwei didn't show it.

No other reason, except that there were still four lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei said indifferently, "Halin's inheritance is indeed outstanding in strength, no wonder he could suppress five other Immortal-level powerhouses."

"Your inheritance is incredibly powerful, and I have benefited greatly from it."

"Since that's the case, I should help Senior Halin."

"After all, in this battle of inheritances, Senior Halin achieved an undisputed victory."

Facing Lin Tianwei's affirmation, even a powerhouse like Halin felt his mood lighten.

Who doesn't love to hear pretty words?

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei activated his Talent: Language Talent (Supernatural) while speaking.

This made his otherwise ordinary words appear exceptionally sincere, greatly increasing their credibility.

Halin even had a thought: if Lin Tianwei could survive the combined attack of the six Cosmic Beasts, taking him as a subordinate wouldn't be out of the question.

After all, Lin Tianwei being able to stand here and calmly deal with six Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts was enough to prove his formidable strength and boundless potential.

However, Halin's idea was clearly a bit far-fetched.

Let alone Lin Tianwei, even he couldn't survive in such a situation; once he chose to act, Lin Tianwei would only face death.

Just as Halin was waiting for Lin Tianwei to make a move, he noticed that Lin Tianwei was unhurried, showing no real intention of acting.

Just as he was wondering why Lin Tianwei was behaving this way,

he heard the Cosmic Beast named Michael, next to Tello, speak first:

"Although this great demon is incredibly tyrannical, I must admit his strength is quite good."

"However, before obtaining the complete five inheritances, please, young friend, do not come to a conclusion too early."

"Since the five of us Cosmic Beasts can fight the great demon to a draw, we naturally have unique methods."

"In fact, the individual inheritance of any one of us Cosmic Beasts appears unremarkable."

"But as long as it is combined with our Xia Luba Clan's combined attack technique, it can produce an effect where one plus one is far greater than two." (End of chapter)
