The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

【Eternal War】(Black Ultimate Passive):

After death, you can be resurrected by any summoned creature.

When you run out of summons, you will receive a temporary summon.

(Requires 500000 lottery points to unlock)

Xia Chuan frowned as he looked at the description of the second talent.

Compared to the Lord of the Underworld who holds the power of life and death, this Yin-Yang Divine General... cannot be said to be weak.

After all, the summoning skill has no cooldown and no limit on the number of times it can be used.

With the ability to stack health points when combined with Black Flash, Beanstalker is indeed very strong.

After all, health points are a renewable resource; once they're used up, they can be replenished.

The "Eternal War" guarantees that you will never die.

You can revive from your summoned creatures by killing yourself.

You will immediately receive a temporary summon after killing all the summoned creatures.

After one temporary killing is over, another temporary killing begins.

They can never be killed off, and they can never die.

but……

Xia Chuan sighed.

Although they all look very strong, they are ultimately a level below the Lord of the Underworld.

"Let's look at the last one."

Xia Chuan lowered his gaze.

Then, he froze.

[Great strength]: You are really strong.

Chapter 43 The Tonic Arrested Me

The back mountain of the Third Dharma Palace of the Three Truths.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, while a mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Xia Chuan sat cross-legged on a rock at the top of the mountain, the system panel in front of him emitting a faint glow.

Three talents lay before me.

【Lord of the Underworld】Dark and profound, like the waters of the River Styx.

The Yin-Yang Divine General is radiant with golden light, like a celestial being descending to earth.

[Great strength] Simple and unpretentious, just three words.

Xia Chuan stared at the third talent for a long time.

That's it?

There is no description of what affects the skills, no attached skills, and no skills to be unlocked.

Blank.

Based on the system's consistent style, this strength should be ridiculously great.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been drawn up along with the Lord of the Underworld and the Yin-Yang God General.

After all, the system never mixes trash and gold together.

"But ultimately, there are still some unclear meanings."

Xia Chuan frowned.

He definitely enjoys playing with numerical monsters.

But numbers alone aren't enough.

Characters like the [Lord of the Underworld] have forced one-on-one battles and doubled skill effects, while the [Yin Yang Divine General] has an endless supply of summoned creatures.

These are all mechanisms, qualitative changes that can alter the way combat is conducted.

And they are strong...

No matter how strong you are, you still have to use your fists to hit people.

Looking at the unassuming "great strength," Xia Chuan sighed.

When I was a child, I thought that being "strong" meant being invincible.

As I grew up, I realized that mechanisms, skills, and strategies are all more important than brute force.

Xia Chuan felt a deep sense of melancholy.

As people grow to a certain point, they begin to question their past selves.

Have I reached that level yet?

He shook his head, shifting his gaze away from the "great strength" part.

Xia Chuan turned to look at the other two talents, weighed the options in his mind, and finally made a decision.

"I choose [Lord of the Underworld]."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on the system panel.

Talent successfully selected.

[Gaining talent]

【…】

[Talent acquisition failed due to external interference]

Xia Chuan:? ? ?

He stared in disbelief as messages scrolled across the panel.

Line after line, it was as if the system was frantically reporting some emergency.

[I'm very strong] I'm angry about your choice.

[Strong] is attacking this system.

【Resisting...】

[Because the opponent was incredibly strong, the resistance failed...]

You have gained the additional talent [Great Strength]

Xia Chuan:? ? ?

They're just buddies.

Are you forcing your way in?

Don't push me, the Lord of the Underworld, away.

Xia Chuan quickly looked at his talent section.

Beside the Lord of the Underworld, a seemingly ordinary person with great strength had appeared out of nowhere.

Xia Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully, the Lord of the Underworld is still here.

He looked at his panel with a strange expression.

So, does this mean I got an extra talent for free?

[Great strength]:

You are really strong.

[Talent Effect]:

You can use "force" to cause slight interference to everything else.

Note: This talent upgrade effect needs to be unlocked.

[Very Strong] (Black Passive):

The influence of power on the world has now intensified.

(Requires 18 points to unlock)

[Extraordinarily Strong] (Black Ultimate Passive):

Your power can, to some extent, forcibly distort what has already happened.

(Requires 38 points to unlock)

[Extremely strong] (Passive):

???????

(Requires 88 points to unlock)

Staring at the full description, Xia Chuan's mind was buzzing.

As expected of the [talent] that can elbow the system, this effect is truly overpowered.

Before I could think any further, the system message lit up again.

[Acquiring talents]

You have acquired the talent.

Lord of the Underworld

Xia Chuan came to his senses and found that the blackness that originally belonged only to the [Lord of the Underworld] was slowly expanding outward.

Centered on this talent itself, an undeniable black color adorned the entire panel.

Like the waters of the River Styx flowing into the human world, it completely shrouded Xia Chuan's vision in a deep darkness.
