A choice lay before Su Xiao: retreat immediately, or risk going to the "Moon Temple" to challenge the Initial Witch.
Neither the Main Quest nor the Talent Awakening Mission had any penalties. As for "Bounty 5: Gatherer," at worst, he would lose the ten ounces of Space-Time Power used as the bounty deposit.
It seemed like there would be no loss, but if he retreated this time, he would never be able to complete the Law-Destroying exclusive "Talent Awakening Mission." This mission could only be activated in Transcendence Worlds, and it had three stages in total. There were known to be only three Transcendence Worlds. Giving up on this opportunity in the Witch Realm meant giving up on it completely.
Su Xiao had always believed that unless he completed the awakening of the "Law-Destroying exclusive innate ability: Hunt," even if he became qualified to face a Supreme One in the future, death would still be his only end. This Law-Destroying innate ability, which required him to travel through three Transcendent Realms to awaken, might be his strongest trump card in the late stages of the super-world.
One thing puzzled Su Xiao. Since Moon Witch Cecilis and President Per. Yaen had both gone to the "Moon Temple" to challenge the Initial Witch, how had they survived after losing?

Cecilis's answer was plain and unremarkable, but it was not surprising. Runes were simply like that. Those with talent could not only master large numbers of
