In the next moment, Leoz suddenly felt a soothing coolness in his heart, which rushed directly into his consciousness, revealing a series of visual images already labeled in advance, categorically displayed before him.

Memories, soul skills, appearance, physique, various attributes, lineage...

"Is this the passive ability of the [Raiding] system?"

Leoz experienced this feeling for the first time.

Moreover, unlike ordinary [Plunder]ers and [Gambler]s, he could select any ability from them, permanently seize it, and claim it as his own.

"Attributes have no meaning, memories aren't necessary for me, and the opponent is also entangled with curses. I might get dragged into the curse's realm; what is truly useful, is this!"

After browsing through them, Leoz selected his target.

[Strong Plunder]

[Under the care of His Excellency Redd Gold, you have permanently plundered a 'Treasure'.]

[Individual Talent · "Lord Xuan Shengdi"]

"Lord Xuan Shengdi": The profound one is darkness, tranquil and void. Earth is the origin of all things, the root and nursery of life.

In some Eastern philosophies, the blessings of heaven and earth are continuous like water and soil, nurturing all things.

Perhaps it's the Stellar Abyss Blessing, perhaps it's serendipity, making you favored by the earth; as long as your feet touch any object seen as 'land', your energy will be infinite.

Wherever you walk, arid lands and wildernesses transform into fertile soil.

Effect:

①"Continuous Flow"—If you practice the [Destroyer] Pathway, Qi Energy operating limit +50%, Qi Energy recovery speed permanently increases by 70%, every 5 seconds, 10% of current maximum Qi Power is fixedly restored.

With each major cultivation breakthrough, the upper limit of Qi Energy further increases by 50% based on the amplification.

②"Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains"—You are the [Destroyer] Pathway's Chosen One; regardless of any cultivation technique, the highest attainable level +1;

Each time you switch the core cultivation technique, you won't lose the attributes provided by the original technique; instead, they'll transform into part of the 'Martial Way'.

③"Roaming the World"—You are a genius of Martial Way, capable of understanding any skill with ease, born to wander the world.

When learning [Destroyer] Pathway skills, you can accelerate the learning and proficiency process by consuming Experience.

————————

Leoz raised his hand, feeling as if reborn, his body no longer insulated from energy but like a black hole, continuously drawing energy from the earth.

Not, not the earth.

As long as standing, energy can be absorbed from the outside world, then condensed in the Qi Sea, and transformed into usable Qi Energy for the body, whether to strengthen the physical body or to release externally, all maneuvered as if controlling an arm.

Without engaging in unnecessary thoughts, he just relaxed, and his body began to naturally operate, initiating cultivation.

The previously impossible cultivation in the [Destroyer] Pathway could finally be advanced.

[Not only that... I can feel that this talent's arrival has also sped up the fusion of my original Pathway?!]

It seems what the other mentioned about 'Life Sacrifice' indeed affects him greatly.

[In this way, the death of my biological mother and the disappearance of my twin brother seem even more suspicious—did someone instigate this early on? Considering someone even attempted to make my mother miscarry during this process...]

Leoz thought.

[Aunt Merston appears completely unaware about Life Sacrifice, merely believing I lack talent, thus seeking to protect me—looking at it now, the cleansing at Destiny Fort was justified. I wonder how many people inside knew about Life Sacrifice.]

[Is there someone wishing to eliminate me, secretly searching and supporting my biological brother as a royal figure? Even if Aunt could clear the apparent doubters, behind the scenes, are there still allies with such intentions?]

[And that secretive organization... they could at any time bring back the legitimate heir to take over my position—Aunt likely knew this, thus deliberately concealed my affairs.]

Whether or not it's due to influence, ever since [Contact]ing with Redd, Leoz felt his intelligence level accelerating rapidly, resolving many issues now with just a bit of thought.

Of course, a greater possibility is: this body, lacking any talent, diverted all energy to the brain to develop thinking ability.

Upon analysis, Leoz comprehended the current situation.

[My biological mother never wished for my survival, treating me as a sacrifice offered to my brother. Of course, she is dead now, entanglement with a deceased is pointless.]

[In contrast, the mysterious organization assassinating Mother and capturing my brother is even more perplexing—why do they do this? Is it to overthrow the regime? Then soon, they should come to Olivia and seize power when my brother matures.]

[Whether biological mother or those people, all hope for my demise, perhaps the entire nation does.]

[Only Aunt genuinely, purely guards me.]

[Heh, I even once thought that being born among nobility, I could live peacefully, even desiring a happy childhood—such extravagance for someone like me?]

[But even Aunt can only protect me until adulthood—no, if coronation time advances, Aunt must helplessly end her guardianship period.]

However...

"This effect is indeed strong." Leoz looked at Rednaya and said,

"With the task completed and nothing else pending, let's return."

——Talent issue, achieved.

With the Pathway problem resolved, the greatest limitation was removed.

[Lord Ao Sha] had already demonstrated the best example; in Border Abyss, a largely unexplored Starry Abyss, principles and laws need not be spoken.

Domineering is the sole valid truth.

"To think I even worried about you." Rednaya grumbled, "Having just returned from the grassland, I discovered you were not at home. After carefully checking traces, tracing all the way here."

"You don't need to accompany me on everything, how about a bit of Freedom for us both? I won't question what you do, and you don't need to crack the case in everything." Leoz said calmly.

"Eh? How come you know Earth slang now?"

Rednaya was surprised, then said,

"I don't mind, after all, having experienced that situation, I am wholeheartedly yours. But you—Leoz, can you leave me?"

"I see no problem with that."

"Today's situation is just rare, right? If encountered with a higher rank existence, can you still leave me?"

Rednaya put away her fan and said,

"Demigods you might handle—then, what about Evil God?"

Leoz paused, looking at the other,

"Rednaya, have you possibly worked up something?"

"I'm not denying it, you do utilize all resources at hand well, but your scope is limited, and so is the information you can collect."

Rednaya stepped forward, looking down at Leoz, and said,

"You've taken the blessing I gave you to acquire talent on the Pathway? The idea is decent, but don't you want it faster?"

"You have preparations?"

"I am your ally, dear," Rednaya spread her hands, "Don't be so exclusionary, we've slept together after all."

"Not in one room, does it count as sharing a bed?" Leoz said off-handedly, "Moreover, even with past relations like with Merid, when unnecessary, I still keep my distance without a shred of attachment."

"See, this is why, when you battled Gaia, no one came to assist you. Unlike you, I understand people's inner Desires: to be loved, cared for, and noticed, willing to trade off everything for these sentiments. But you merely deliver them tangible returns without recognizing their inner needs..."

"The point." Leoz ruthlessly interrupted, "Without engagement, let's head home directly."

"Alright, I'm starting to doubt the Divine Sword Veilue fragment I have is useful at all."

Rednaya shrugged their shoulders,

"Leoz, you now have only talent but no mentor, I've found you two opportunities."

"One, you might have seen, the Golden Dragon Monk who once shone brightly in the Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder, I have located his position; you may interact with him."

"And the other, has a slight complexity."

"Evil God?" Leoz nodded, "I have experience dealing with Evil Gods, no need to worry."

"Actually, not solely Evil Gods."

Rednaya smiled slightly and said,

"My Angel Envoy just reminded me, [Epic Society] Reidori is also nearby."
