The stalemate lasted several seconds. Just as Yu Xunge was about to use any high-level skill to muddle through, Qihua finally drawled, "Ask."
Yu Xunge immediately asked the most important question at hand. "What should we do after finding the direction for our Deity Talent?"
"The answer to that question cannot be spoken aloud. Even if it could, we wouldn't tell you. It would affect your judgment and choices. Ask something else."
"After attributes stop being numbers and become hands on the Clock Dial, how do we keep raising them?"
"You cannot raise them any further. Breaking free of God's Gift means the energy you can possess has reached its limit. All you can do is learn to control and distribute it," Qihua patiently explained, her tone serious and solemn.
"The 'time' of an attribute on the Clock Dial doesn't represent how many attribute points you possess. Its 'time' represents the current amplitude of that attribute's fluctuations. Skill effects and special states can all affect a particular attribute, but there isn't much difference between 1 and 12."
"The purpose of 'time' is to provide protection, but it is also a shackle.
"Never let the 'time' on your Clock Dial match the time of the Star Sea and Mountains. That will alert the Pendulum and cause it to swing into you."
Qihua explained in great detail. Although only Zai Jiu Xunge had currently crossed the threshold of breaking free of God's Gift, all the players present were among the strongest in the Chaotic Star Sea. Reaching the same level was merely a matter of time.
She concluded, "When you can see the time of the Star Sea and Mountains, it means you have officially broken free of God's Gift."
Amid the silence, the second player to complete the class assignment emerged-Mistblade.
