53: All things are born

The purplish-gold Divine Power, like a warm tide, completely enveloped and submerged Lin Feng's body, and even his Soul.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if he had broken free from the shackles of his mortal body, his consciousness infinitely rising and elevating, entering an unprecedented, profound, and vast dimension.

He “saw” it.

He saw the budding of life. A seed, amidst the roar of thunder, broke through solid rock, drew nourishment from the Earth, bathed in sunlight and rain, and finally grew into a towering tree.

He then “saw” the withering of life. The towering tree, after experiencing tens of thousands of years of wind, frost, rain, and snow, met its end. Its trunk turned into humus to nourish the Earth, and its immortal life imprint, tempered by lightning, transformed into new seeds, awaiting revival in the next Reincarnation.

Life and death, creation and destruction... the most fundamental Laws of the Universe, like the most magnificent scroll, slowly unfolded in his consciousness.

He felt as if he had established an inseparable, Bloodline-like connection with the Earth beneath his feet, with the surrounding air, and with the flowing elements.

He seemed to have become a part of this world.

And also, seemed to have become the Dominator of this world...

Ding! Talent Awakening successful!

Congratulations! You have obtained the unique S-Rank Talent — Myriad Things Grow!

When this line of golden prompt finally settled in his consciousness, the purplish-gold Divine Power that enveloped him slowly retracted back into his body, like tired birds returning to their forest.

The entirecave returned to its calm state.

It was as if the world-destroying anomaly just now was merely an illusion.

But Lin Feng knew that everything had changed.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In those dark eyes, stars seemed to be born and die, thunder seemed to flash, so profound that one glance would make people unable to help but fall deeply into them.

He raised his right hand and slowly opened it.

Then, his heart stirred slightly.

A miracle happened.

A verdant sprout, full of endless vitality, actually grew out of thin air from his empty palm!

The sprout grew branches and leaves at a visible speed, and finally, bloomed into a small, unknown white flower emitting a faint fragrance.

This was not magic, nor was it an illusion.

Rather, it was the purest, spontaneous “creation” of life!

This was the power of the S-Rank Talent Myriad Things Grow!

Lin Feng's face revealed a genuinely shocked smile.

With a thought, the small white flower transformed into specks of green light and dissipated into the air.

He impatiently opened his talent panel, eager to see the true appearance of this Heaven-Defying Talent.

Myriad Things Grow (S-Rank)

Rank: Lv1 (0/10000)

Effects:

1. Life's Blessing (Passive): All your attributes (including hidden attributes) receive a 10% permanent overall increase. Your Life and Spirit recovery speed receive a 100% permanent increase.

When Gathering any item, there is a certain chance to directly Plunder its most core “Origin Trait” and make it your own. (Note: Activating actively requires consuming a huge amount of Mental Energy and Life Force; please use with caution.)

...“This... this is...”

Lin Feng looked at the four Heaven-Defying, even “outrageous” attribute descriptions, and he was completely stunned.

His brain even temporarily froze due to the excessive shock.

All attributes... 10% permanent increase!

Recovery speed... 100% increase!

Heavenly Punishment Thunder with true damage on attack!

And the BUG-like “creation” and “plunder” abilities!

This... this was no longer a simple “Talent”!

This was simply a “Authority” from the world itself!

“Hoo... hoo...”

It took Lin Feng a long time to recover from the immense shock.

He glanced at his attribute panel, which had once again seen a comprehensive and explosive increase due to the Life's Blessing passive, and felt a dry mouth and tongue.

...His overall strength, at the moment of Myriad Things Grow's Awakening, once again experienced a geometric, explosive growth!

He felt that he could now... punch to death the Skeletal Knights that he previously had to fight with all his might to defeat!

This was the overwhelming power brought by an S-Rank Talent!

“Su Qingxue...”

In Lin Feng's mind, that cold and proud figure involuntarily appeared.

How powerful would her S-Rank Talent, Innate Ice Physique, be?

At this moment, for the first time, Lin Feng felt a trace of... a truly matched opponent's Battle Intent towards this proud daughter of heaven whom he had once only been able to look up to!

He slowly stood up from the ground.

He knew that from this moment on, his “positioning” in this world had completely changed.

He was no longer a “scavenger” who could only hide in the shadows and develop cautiously.

He now possessed the qualification to directly contend with any Genius in this world!

He slowly cast his gaze towards the exit of thecave.

It was time... to leave this place that had given him a new life and return to the world that truly belonged to him.

However, before leaving... a cunning smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.

He looked at the cave full of high-quality Ores and plants that he hadn't had time to “clean up” yet, and licked his lips.

“So much ‘nourishment’ cannot be wasted.”

“Let me see how strong Origin Plunder really is!”

He walked to the ten-thousand-year thunder crystal that he had previously gathered, which had already become dim and dull.

Then, he stretched out his hand and activated the ultimate ability of his S-Rank Talent!

“Myriad Things Grow — Origin Plunder!”
