My Talent Panel Can Add Points

The seeds of [Light] have already been sown, and now, let time help them take root and sprout.

Ye Mingqiu glanced at Modus coldly, with no intention of drawing him in as a follower.

Because he felt the other party lacked [potential].

Although he is a hero with great strength, his [potential] is quite poor. It’s not the kind of potential related to strength, but rather something Ye Mingqiu sensed from the soul, a vague yet important quality.

Modus is a very conflicted person.

Being chosen by the world as a hero indicates that he’s not inherently bad, and even quite kind, but calamities have taken everything from him, turning him into what he is now.

His benevolence is not firm enough, his malevolence not resolute enough. He wants to become a villain but can’t bring himself to act, stopped by his conscience. He wants to be a good person but can’t reach out because he knows he won’t save the world. Destroying hope after giving it to others is equally unacceptable to him.

His pain comes from disaster but also from his own character.

Thus, Modus chose to mess around, giving himself a brand new persona, continuing down the path of salvation, pretending to move forward.

This guy, when you ask him to do good, he refuses, and when you ask him to do bad, he hesitates—he’s not very useful.

But Adira...

Ye Mingqiu cast a deep glance at the minstrel, his profound gaze seemingly penetrating the essence, seeing the madness hidden beneath the facade, seeing the burning fire of insanity, seeing the ambition of extinction.

....

Frost Whisper Forest

The environment here is quite special, with light and sound absorbed and filtered by the ink-colored green tree crowns full of icicles, enveloping the white world in extreme silence.

The snow is thick, producing a ”crunch” with every step, but the sound is swallowed by the tranquility. The air is filled with the cold aroma of coniferous forest and the chill of ice and snow, while deep in the forest looms a faint but overwhelming pressure of a ferocious beast, terrifyingly oppressive.

That is the aura of a Dominator Level Ferocious Beast. In the wilderness, the aura of a Dominator Level Ferocious Beast is the best way to drive away wild beasts; few wild beasts dare to appear where they inhabit.

”As dangerous as expected.”

Adira lowered his breath, instinctively placing his fingers on the short dagger at his waist, his azure eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, constantly scanning the snow-covered and shadow-laden depths of the forest.

Modus was even more silent, his heavy hand already on the hilt of the holy sword behind him, his muscles tense like a lion sensing danger, every pore warning of potential fatal threats.

Ye Mingqiu continued to walk calmly, as if he felt no threat at all.

Before arriving here, Adira had told him in advance that the Frost Whisper Forest would be fraught with danger. If one could easily venture deep and obtain the raw stone from the Elf Observatory, the greedy nobles and mercenaries would never let it be.

Therefore, within the Frost Whisper Forest, there must be numerous horrific dangers, demanding vigilance.

But that’s for them.

At this moment, Ye Mingqiu possesses the power of a Level 9 Demigod, capable of contesting a God of Authority head-on at full outburst.

Dominator Level Ferocious Beast? Just a toy.

”Lord Blood Erosion Tyrant, actually, I’ve always had a question on my mind. You’re not the type who would be willing to fight for world salvation, right? Why did you agree to accompany us then?”

While being vigilant of his surroundings, Adira curiously looked at Ye Mingqiu and asked.

”The raw stone is useful to me.”

”Useful?”

”The raw stone itself is a top-tier material. Apart from suppressing the black tide, it has many other uses for me,” Ye Mingqiu replied.

The raw stone originates from the world, containing the power of world origin within, which can recharge equipment for [transformation] of the Child of the World.

For instance,....[Dawn Oath].

[Dawn Oath], although used once, is still in much better condition than the shattered [Holy Badge], even with some equipment amplification. Recharging and using it again might yield good results, though generating brand new talent might be difficult, at most enhancing the existing foundation.

Moreover, it requires a compatible talent; not just any talent can be enhanced.

Even so, using it after recharging [Dawn Oath] is still a relatively cost-effective choice, with the added chance of a higher boost, making it a win-win, even if not.

”I see...”

Adira’s eyes flashed, and even with his knowledge and experiences, he hadn’t heard of other uses for the raw stone. It seems the other party possesses some special knowledge.

However, if that’s the case, then subsequent developments could become interesting. He smiled fawningly, like an ordinary little character, tentatively asking, ”If that’s the case, then I can probably tell you some special information.”

”Besides the perilous Frost Whisper Forest, there are other places in the world with raw stones. However, most of those stones are controlled by the nobility of various kingdoms.”

”Oh?”

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, ”Could it be they know how to use them? Do they also know how this thing should be used?”

”To put it bluntly, they don’t know the uses of the raw stone beyond suppressing the black tide, but they know that there are people who need the raw stone, and those people will work for them to save the world in exchange for the stone, bringing them benefits.”

Adira continued, smiling, ”A single raw stone equates to an opportunity for a hero team, maybe even multiple chances, which is an extremely high-value asset for them.”
