"What's wrong, Kane?"

Kreya, standing beside him, saw Kane's expression suddenly change—first surprised, then turning into a picture of joy.

She even saw a trace of disbelief in Kane's eyes.

Then she asked from the side.

Judging by Kane's expression, he must have acquired an incredible skill, but what kind of skill could cause such a dramatic change in his expression?

A bit of curiosity also welled up in Kreya's heart.

Hearing Kreya's words, Kane shook his head slightly, calming himself down.

Looking at the skill stone in his hand.

A rounded triangular skill stone, akin to a golden crystal stone, with runes flashing within.

[Name: Divine Blessing] (Unique)

[Category: Active Skill]

[Hue: Golden]

[Explanation: The powerful ability and massive energy consumption require this skill to consume magic stones each time it is used.

Different magic stones can cause different effects.

Copper Magic Stone: Bestows grace upon an object.

Silver Magic Stone: Bestows blessings upon an object or life.

Golden Magic Stone: Bestows blessings upon an object, life, and environment.

Grace on Objects: Depending on the strength and number of magic stones used, the bestowed grace will increase or decrease accordingly. (Attribute Enhancement ~ Rule Addition)

Blessings on Life: Only silver or higher magic stones can be used for bestowal, and the blessing's strength is determined by the type and quantity of the magic stones. The blessings a life can endure depend on its constitution and soul strength. (Constitution Enhancement ~ Skill Bestowal)

Blessings on Environment: Only golden magic stones can be used for bestowal, and the blessing's strength is determined by the quantity of magic stones. The size of the environment and the degree of change desired will also decide the mode used. (Geological Modification ~ Overall Elevation)]

[Introduction: Blessing is the gift from a higher being to a lower one. It is an instinctive method mastered by all high-level life forms, covering almost everything in the world.

Mastering blessings allows life to leap forward.]

The unique skill acquired once again.

This long and dense skill explanation, Kane stared at it for a long time before understanding the specific effect of the skill.

The reason this skill surprised Kane so much is because he is still maintaining the state of Divine Gaze.

Divine Gaze has almost replaced the function of the previously noted features on the skills, including the previous secret intelligence department.

Kane can directly understand some of the more hidden properties of these skills or the things associated with them through the use of Divine Gaze.

Just like those notes under the skills before, ever since Kane's Divine Gaze unlocked this function, prompts under skills or equipment no longer appear.

And what Kane saw on this skill was a path to the summit.

Just like the introduction in the last paragraph.

The true apex, meaning this is a road towards the multicolored path.

This is the reason for Kane's surprise.

Now his understanding of everything beyond the colorful path is limited to three-color and five-color.

Golden, three-color, five-color—these three stages represent the mastery of rules and the adaptation process of the self to the rules.

Specifically, Kane only knows the process from golden to three-color.

This process varies from person to person; some master one rule chain, about three or four rules combined, then directly promoted to three-color.

In other worlds, this is a ladder to ascend to godhood.

Golden is the foundational stage before one ascends as a god.

At this stage, the more complex the rule chains mastered, the more familiar the mastery.

The road ahead will be smoother.

So very few would advance to three-color just by mastering a simple rule chain during the golden stage.

Those who can continue to advance at this stage have ambitions.

Of course, this refers only to the world shrouded by the mist, to the explorers of the Mist World.

Because it is very possible for a three-color to be defeated by a golden.

The problem is the emergence of this skill allowed Kane to finally glimpse the essence of the Book of Adventure he holds.

Reaching the golden stage, Kane inadvertently started truly mastering the Book of Adventure.

Master the essence of it, truly transform it into something he possesses.

As his understanding and mastery of rules grew, he gained many insights and.

He started to understand more about the essence of the Book of Adventure, controlling it through his insights into the rules.

This is why Kane can now make this book visible to everyone.

Not just visible to Kreya alone.

Now, the Extraction Array is dispensable to Kane, as he can directly hold the magic stone and turn it into a skill stone.

In the vision and perception of Divine Gaze, this skill stone is tightly linked to the Book of Adventure.

This shows that the skill stone and the Book of Adventure have a very close connection.

In the foresight of the future, Kane has already sensed a way to truly master the Book of Adventure and break its various restrictions.

With more and more thoughts emerging, Kane began to calm down, withdrawing from his many thoughts.

No matter how much one thinks now, it's meaningless.

Take it step by step and do the present thing well.

To force himself to calm down, Kane placed the skill stone into the storage.

Looking at the curious Kreya beside him.

"This is a very important skill stone, representing my future path."

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya murmured to herself, "The future path?"

She roughly understood Kane's meaning and seemed to understand why Kane was so excited.

For Kane and for them, the future path certainly isn't just the so-called three-color or five-color, but the ultimate road.

She genuinely felt happy for Kane.

After taking a deep breath, Kane took out the last skill stone at hand.

He held it in his hand.

Once the golden light dissipated, he looked at this final skill stone.

It was indeed the skill stone suitable for Longbei.

A total of 5 skill stones, each perfectly suitable for every member of their team under the strong blessing of heightened luck.

And the only one left was Longbei.

Holding the skill stone in his hand, Kane carried out an identification.

[Name: Ancestral Return]

[Category: Consumable Skill]

[Color: Golden]

[Explanation: Use this skill, if the user possesses an ancient bloodline, their bloodline will undergo an ancestral return.

During the return, it will follow the strongest source within the user's bloodline to perform the ancestral return ritual.

Follow the source of the bloodline, reaching the peak existence.]

[Introduction: In the vast star sea of countless worlds, at the time of world creation, the initial hatching of the star sea.

The ultimate source of life was born.

Ancestral return is the ritual in which descendants from vast time seek glory from their ancestors.]

Looking at the introduction of this skill, he hadn't expected it to be a consumable skill, disappearing directly after use.

But upon careful contemplation, indeed, among the 5 of them, this skill is very suitable for Longbei.

Judging by the bloodline, after the golden Glory Promotion, each of them possesses a bloodline crafted specifically for themselves.

This means whether it's Kane, Kreya, or Meizike, they've reached the apex within their bloodline chains because their own bloodlines bear their powerful marks.

The source of their bloodlines, specifically what it is? It's hard to determine because of the manifestations of their bloodlines.

Is the source really stronger than them now? Not necessarily.

Kane, Kreya, Meizike—all three.

Their races can be considered the natives of the last era's World Ring.

Perhaps the apex beings of that time weren't as strong as they are now.

No need to elaborate on humans, a species present in almost every world.

As for the Four-Handed Tribe, according to records, the strongest of this race is of golden level.

The world was seemingly a silver dungeon in the past.

Kreya's history was even less significant, merely a silver red-mark dungeon.

After all, Kreya and her kind preserved a complete history within their Empire, gathered from information after their emergence.

The ultimate source remains vague, but they don't have any so-called legends of regression.

There's no past stronger than the present in each of their races' histories.

As for Lirulu, what would she return to? Into herself?

Whether from her abilities, the inherent traits of her race, or her bloodline, it's clear to Kane and the others.

Lirulu is an unparalleled existence.

The embodiment of the concept of a fairy tale life form.

Only Longbei's bloodline, even after reaching the golden level, still has a source.

That would be Titan, clearly displayed in the bloodline.

Titans are creation beings in many worlds' Creator myths, an extremely ancient race.

This is a life unseen in the Mist World.

Mist World has giant dragons, angels, devils, demons.

But it doesn't have pure Titans, only various bloodline subspecies.

Such as Thunder Titan, Sea Titan, etc.

However, there are plenty of Titan bloodline successors.

Like Dwarves, Giants.

The myth says Titans were enormous, is Longbei finally going to break free from his short stature?

I must say, this skill extraction was by far the most satisfying since starting to extract Skill Stones.

5 skills, none are useless, all precisely hitting what each person needs.

Judging by the importance of the Divine Blessing to Kane.

The importance of ancestral return skill to Longbei.

Then it's fair to judge the other three skill stones have crucial roles for Kreya and the others, even if they might not realize it now.

Perhaps they'll become the final important piece in their ability puzzle, who knows.

Thinking this, Kane said to Kreya beside him.

"Kreya, shall we conduct the ritual now?"

Upon hearing Kane, Kreya thought for a moment and asked, "Are these skills also meant for Lirulu and the others?"

Kane nodded: "I've prepared a skill that suits each of you exceptionally well."

Hearing Kane, Kreya promptly said: "Then let's wait a while and conduct the ritual together, we're not in a rush, right?"

Listening to Kreya's words, Kane looked up at a clock in the distance.

There was still some time before dawn.

Seems a good nap is warranted to ease the night's excitement.

Excessive excitement can hinder sound judgment.

Looking at Kreya beside him, Kane snapped his fingers.

The entire personal space plunged into darkness.

"Oh! That's annoying."
