I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 481 - 108: Sequence Branch Tree_2

[After selecting this ability, the caster's constitution will improve, and they will not be able to select other regular skills. From now on, even if their realm progresses, they can only continue to choose the Path of Evolution.]

[The unlocking method of the Path of Evolution skills differs from conventional abilities. When the caster evolves to a certain stage, corresponding skills will automatically appear. Currently, no abilities can be unlocked.]

[Potential abilities that might appear during subsequent evolutions of this branch: Path of Evolution: Beginner, Path of Evolution: Shortcut...]

An exceptionally strange ability, Yun You didn't comprehend its effects at all at first glance.

However, Master Zero did understand.

[Whoa, you randomly got the Path of Evolution, Yun You. How would I describe your luck... truly both good and bad, in a superposition of good and bad...]

Upon hearing this, Yun You was somewhat confused.

"Good and bad? What do you mean?"

"Is this ability not very good?"

[Not quite, it's just that the explanation is rather complex.]

Master Zero shook his head but patiently started to explain.

[It is said that if an Apprentice Death God has an almost pathological pursuit of "becoming stronger," then the Path of Evolution series of abilities will appear in their skill tree.]

[The Path of Evolution abilities start off very weak, but as one explores step by step, they grow increasingly stronger, surpassing the Apprentice Death Gods who choose ordinary abilities within the same Sequence.]

[But you also know, the growth path of a Death God is bloody and brutal. If one starts off weak, it's highly likely they won't survive to later stages, and they'll just perish early.]

[After all, if you choose the Path of Evolution, compared to other Death Gods of the same level, you're basically missing a combat skill, which is extremely detrimental to growth.]

[As time progressed, Death Gods gradually stopped choosing this ability, even calling it a "curse." After all, each skill tree has limited abilities that can be illuminated. Even if a Death God doesn't choose the Path of Evolution, it still occupies an option, reducing the number of abilities they can select.]

[As things stand today, only Apprentice Death Gods born into prominent families, who lack neither resources nor paths to strength, are willing to try this ability.]

[That's why I said this ability is considered 'unfortunate.']

[But why did I also say you're lucky? It's simple—]

Master Zero pouted, controlling the Red Scale, pointing towards Yun You's other two Sequence panels.

[Your Sequence isn't singular. Even if Mad Dog selected the Path of Evolution, sacrificing early-stage combat ability, you can still rely on "Invisible" and "Lord" to make up for the missing skills.]

[Missing a Mad Dog ability won't significantly affect you; in other words, it's "cost-free."]

[Other Death Gods who choose the Path of Evolution need to risk their lives to get through the "early stage," but for you, there are no obstacles.]

[No one can stop you from peeking at the end of the evolution, so choose boldly!]

Upon hearing this explanation, Yun You was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.

Indeed, for other Apprentice Death Gods with only a single Sequence, they naturally need to consider the "transition" issue in the early stages.

But Yun You does not need to.

Possessing three Sequences, she can be "strong" from beginning to end, with practically no weakness in battles of the same level.

Since that's the case, she should pursue a "higher ceiling," rather than so-called stability.

Thinking this, Yun You took a deep breath, then extended her hand, pressing heavily onto the "Path of Evolution" icon.

"I'll choose you!"

In an instant, the black consciousness space was lit by bright red light.

Vaguely, Yun You seemed to see the scene in the icon—a multitude of devout worshippers kneeling on the ground, chanting hymns towards the red shadow wolf in the sky.

And that giant wolf, slowly opened its eyes, but it never glanced at the believers. Instead, with its large vertical eyes, it spotted Yun You not far away.

"Who are you?"

Yun You instinctively asked, but before the words passed her lips, the meaning was already conveyed to the shadow wolf.

"Who am I?"

The shadow wolf laughed, laughed arrogantly.

"I am the devourer of Star Moon! I am the master of war and blood! I am the end of the Mad Dog Sequence!"

As the words echoed, the worshippers below exploded, transforming into a raging sea of blood, merging the chanting and the blood light together into Yun You's soul!

Simultaneously, the icon of the Mad Dog Sequence underwent subtle changes. The once dulled eyes of the large red wolf now appeared vibrant, as if the shadow wolf truly came to life and inhabited the icon.

"Step onto the Path of Evolution! I will be waiting for your arrival at the road's end!"

As all illusions vanished, the shadow wolf's final words were engraved in Yun You's mind, providing the young girl with endless motivation to move forward.

"Hoo..."

When illusion completely dissipated, Yun You released a heavy breath, clenched her fists.

The surging power within her assured her that all these were indeed real, not pure illusions.

She could feel that her Mad Dog Sequence underwent a transformation, becoming entirely different from before.

If the past Mad Dog was merely a regular Sequence, now it evolved to the level of a "Rare Sequence," almost comparable to Invisible.

Even the inherent ability of the Sequence, "Limb Enhancement," was boosted to some extent.

"Indeed, pursuing a higher ceiling is the right choice."

Yun You nodded satisfactorily, then looked expectantly at the skill tree of the Invisible Sequence.

Since regular Sequences can grow into Rare Sequences through the Path of Evolution, could the inherently Rare Invisible Sequence also become a more powerful Sequence through this ability?

It seems possible.

However, as she clearly saw the icons on the Invisible skill tree, she was somewhat disappointed.

Because on the Invisible Sequence tree, the option of the Path of Evolution did not exist.

Instead, there were icons of two skills.

The first one is called [Vibrating Blade], with an icon of a dagger shattering another sword. The effect is simple — it enables Yun You to precisely detect the weak points of metal connections while weapon handling, thereby breaking the opponent's weapon.

The second, named [Glimmering Moon], has an icon of a star moon hidden within thick clouds.

Its effect utilizes the surrounding environment and materials to manually create an area of fog, thus disrupting the enemy's vision and enhancing the effect of stealth abilities.

For example, Yun You's "Divine Concealment" ability can be further enhanced within the Glimmering Moon domain, making her even harder to discover.

From these two branch skills, Yun You can see the different growth directions between them.

Vibrating Blade evidently leans more toward "Close-Range Combat" abilities, whereas Glimmering Moon emphasizes the "Invisible" aspect of Invisible.

Regarding this, Yun You didn't dwell much and directly chose Glimmering Moon.

Her melee combat already benefits from the Mad Dog Sequence and Red Scale Weapon, adding a Vibrating Blade would be less meaningful. It's better to further enhance stealth abilities, thereby creating more opportunities for combat and assassination.

...

After selecting for Invisible, Yun You turned her focus to the final "Lord" Sequence.

As the most mysterious... and the Sequence with the least related information, the young girl is full of hope about it.

The Darwinism ability she hasn't used much, but each use could turn the tides. Naturally, its strength is beyond question.

If she can unlock a skill comparable in level to Darwinism, Yun You can almost guarantee she won't easily find opponents within the same level.

However...

When Yun You's gaze slowly reached the "Inverted Crown" totem, she froze.

Not because she saw an extraordinarily powerful ability or out of disappointment, but because...

Because the skill tree of the Lord Sequence, aside from the top-level Darwinism ability, all the branches and veins underneath were shattered.

Indeed, physically shattered.

All icons were broken into fragments, leaving nothing behind, only leaving Yun You with a line of blurry text.

[The growth path for this Sequence has been broken from the source by some entity. Please attempt to repair it, or... attempt to create a path unique to yourself, letting "Darwinism" be the root, germinating from the bottom up, reforge the glory of the Lord.]
