Chapter 634 - 361: Racial Talent (3)

Racial Talent can be viewed from two perspectives: collective talent and individual talent.

Collective talent refers to the Racial Talent of the entire race, which can only be strengthened through wars of extermination and by plundering other races.

Individual talent, on the other hand, refers to the Racial Talent specific to a person, and it is closely related to the completeness of their Origin Gene.

The collective talent determines the upper limit of the individual talent.

The stronger an individual is, the more complete their Racial Talent becomes. However, if the collective talent is inherently pathetic, even someone who has fully completed their Origin Gene and possesses their full Racial Talent would still be a weakling.

A complete "Eternal Consciousness" talent isn’t necessarily stronger than the talent of a newborn of the Witch Race.

One can only imagine how powerful the complete Racial Talent of the Witch Race must be!

However, it seems that while the Human Race’s Racial Talent can’t compare to the Witch Race’s, it isn’t weak either. It has great potential yet to be unlocked.

’The new abilities derived from a Racial Talent are all closely related to its foundational abilities. Evolutionary Sense is also linked to Evolutionary Affinity; you could say they’re the same type of ability, both serving to help an evolver evolve better.’

’I suspect the Racial Talents of other races develop in the same way, constantly deriving new abilities centered around a single core.’

Evolutionary Affinity is the most basic Racial Talent of the Human Race. The earliest ancestors of the Human Race likely only possessed this one ability.

But in the later War of the Ten Thousand Races, the Human Race annihilated many other races and plundered countless resources, adding many new abilities to their Racial Talent.

Evolutionary Sense is probably just one of many abilities. As Su Ze continues to perfect his Origin Gene in the future, he should awaken even more.

What struck Su Ze as odd, however, was that not only was the Evolutionary Sense ability similar to a hidden ability of Divine Grace of Evolution, but he also felt that the Evolutionary Affinity Racial Talent itself overlapped with another one of his talents.

All this time, Su Ze had felt that his speed of digesting Evolutionary Material was faster than an ordinary person’s, but he was never sure if it was a perk of being a Transmigrator or another hidden effect of Divine Grace of Evolution.

But now, it seemed, wasn’t this just the effect of Evolutionary Affinity?

Evolutionary Affinity increases the speed of digesting Evolutionary Material.

’Does this mean I’ve possessed a Racial Talent since I was at the mortal stage?’

Su Ze frowned. It was too much of a coincidence that both of the Racial Talent’s current abilities overlapped with abilities he already possessed. It just didn’t add up.

He was worried that as he continued to perfect his Origin Gene, the Racial Talent would develop abilities like skill disassembly and assembly, or the ability to choose skills when absorbing extracts.

Just then, the Inheritance Crystal in his Dantian finally stirred.

This was within Su Ze’s expectations. The Inheritance Crystal contained the subsequent inheritance for Divine Grace of Evolution, as well as the Origin Genes of other races accumulated by Mr. Ao and other Human Race geniuses. After Su Ze ascended to godhood, he could now receive a portion of both.

The Origin Genes of other races required Su Ze to actively extract and absorb them. For the Inheritance Crystal to stir at this moment, it must be about to grant him the subsequent inheritance for Divine Grace of Evolution.

The Divine Grace of Evolution skill was about to be upgraded again... A flicker of anticipation rose in Su Ze’s heart.

Energy continuously separated from the Inheritance Crystal and merged into Su Ze’s body.

All Su Ze had to do was relax and let his body absorb the energy on its own.

A long time later, the Inheritance Crystal retreated back into its pocket space and vanished. At the same time, Su Ze’s Divine Grace of Evolution skill had finished upgrading.

Before, Divine Grace of Evolution, with its added Disassembly and Assembly Ability, could be considered a Quasi-Divine Skill. After this evolution, it had upgraded directly into a divine skill.

Before Su Ze could even carefully sense the changes to his Divine Grace of Evolution skill, he immediately felt a strange sensation. The Divine Grace of Evolution skill seemed to have formed some kind of connection with his Racial Talent.

This phenomenon answered Su Ze’s earlier questions—Divine Grace of Evolution was indeed related to his Racial Talent!

The two talent abilities Su Ze currently possessed were both like enhanced versions of Divine Grace of Evolution’s hidden effects.

The moment Divine Grace of Evolution established a connection with his Racial Talent, Su Ze’s consciousness sank. His perspective shifted inside his own body, and everything before his eyes began to magnify rapidly...

In a daze, he felt as if he had entered another dimension. It strongly resembled the blank world he entered whenever he absorbed an extract and chose a skill—a vast expanse of white.

But this time, there were no clouds of mist symbolizing skills, only a single golden ring.

Over ninety percent of this ring was translucent, semi-illusory, while less than ten percent was completely solid, filled with gold.

Su Ze felt a familiar aura from the ring, and he naturally began to understand something.

’This ring... it symbolizes the Origin Gene?’

’And the solid part represents the portion of the Origin Gene I’ve already mastered.’

It seemed this was a new ability that appeared after Divine Grace of Evolution upgraded to a divine skill, allowing him to visually observe the completion progress of his Origin Gene.

The Divine Grace of Evolution skill was truly extraordinary, holding many secrets. No wonder Mr. Ao valued it so highly, bundling it with the inheritance... Su Ze figured out many things. He finally understood why he’d possessed so many talents beyond those of an ordinary person, even back at the mortal stage.

He could freely choose his skills, sense suitable upgrade materials, upgrade skills ahead of schedule even at the Extraordinary Stage, and digest Evolutionary Material faster than others.

Thinking about it carefully, all these abilities seemed to fall under the main theme of "Evolutionary Affinity"—helping an evolver evolve better and faster.

’So, the Divine Grace of Evolution skill just helped me unlock the Human Race’s Talent Skills ahead of time?’

As Su Ze stood there in a daze, his consciousness withdrew from that space and returned to his body.

He hurriedly closed his eyes to perceive the effects of the divine-level Divine Grace of Evolution skill.

Divine Grace of Evolution (Divine-level Skill): At each evolutionary stage, you have one opportunity to obtain a new skill through plunder, and you possess the ability to disassemble and reassemble skills.
