Omniscience Omnipotence, Qian Mo's "God's Perspective"

"Please grant my wish, Lord!"

The Auspicious Beast Qilin's voice boomed like a bell, causing ripples to spread across the lake's surface. Its massive head was pressed firmly into the dirt, as humble as a corporate slave who failed to meet their targets and is begging their boss for another chance.

Silence fell over the entire scene.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's hand, holding an Orchid Finger, trembled. He glanced at the nine spirit rings beneath his feet, then at the Hundred Thousand Year Auspicious Beast "begging for death." He felt his entire life of spirit cultivation had been in vain.

Back then, he and Old Ghost had almost lost their lives hunting a Fifty Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider.

And now.

A Divine Beast, starting at a Hundred Thousand Year level, was not only delivered to their doorstep but also came with humble service, "Please, accept me."

"Um..." Qian Mo scratched his head, looking troubled. "Actually, I don't really like killing. You look so majestic, with colorful scales. Wouldn't it be cool to take you back as a mount? It would make me look so impressive even when I go out to buy groceries."

The Qilin heard this and panicked.

It suddenly lifted its head, its massive eyes filling with tears, snot bubbles about to form.

"Lord! You cannot!"

The Qilin cried out, its voice hoarse and mournful, "This little beast's lifespan is nearing its end, its physical body has decayed. If I cannot transform into your spirit bone and coexist with you, in less than three years, I will be nothing but dry bones! Only by becoming a part of your body can this little beast mooch... oh no, bathe in your auspicious divine light and achieve eternal life!"

Qian Mo: "..."

This was quite awkward.

He wanted to take a little brother, but the little brother only wanted to become equipment.

"Alright then." Qian Mo sighed and reluctantly nodded. "Since you're so sincere, I'll take a loss and accept you."

"Thank you for your grace, Lord!"

The Qilin was overjoyed, as if Qian Mo hadn't agreed to kill it, but had instead given it a green card to the divine realm.

Fearing Qian Mo would change his mind, it didn't even leave any last words. Its entire body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden-red light.

There was no smell of blood.

Nor was there any resentment from a dying struggle.

Its massive body rapidly dissolved in the light, transforming into a torrent of pure energy.

A golden-red spirit ring slowly rose, as obedient as a tamed hula hoop, automatically encircling Qian Mo.

Immediately after, a skull radiating multicolored light, crystal clear and translucent, floated in mid-air.

It was the condensation of the Auspicious Beast Qilin's lifelong wisdom and essence—[Hundred Thousand Year · Auspicious Beast Qilin's Wisdom Skull].

"Whoosh."

The skull transformed into a streak of light and merged into Qian Mo's forehead.

Boom--!

The aura on Qian Mo's body instantly surged.

His soul power skyrocketed like a rocket, directly breaking through the level 40 bottleneck and racing upwards.

Level 41... Level 43... Level 45!

Nine years old.

A level 45 Soul Ancestor.

Four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones on his body: Holy Light Unicorn Right Arm, Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Deer Left Arm, Golden-Eyed White Tiger Torso, Auspicious Beast Qilin Skull.

If this setup were revealed, even the Asura God in the God Realm would have to dismantle his divine equipment overnight and start over.

Qian Mo closed his eyes, feeling the coolness emanating from his forehead.

Information on two brand-new soul bone skills appeared in his mind.

Skill One: [Auspicious Protection].

Passive Effect: Immune to all Mental Control and Curses.

Active Effect: Activate an absolute defense golden body, duration dependent on soul power. During this period, all physical and energy attacks will be reflected.

Skill Two: [Omniscience Omnipotence].

Effect: Consume Mental Power to activate God's Perspective, gain insight into the information of all things in the world, and even spy on the real-time dynamics of a designated target (limited by the target's strength and distance, current range: the entire continent).

"God's Perspective?"

A playful curve appeared on Qian Mo's lips.

This skill was quite interesting.

From now on, anyone who dared to curse him behind his back would be directly traced through the internet... no, through the Karma Line, and receive a big slap.

"Xiao Mo, how is it?" Qian Renxue leaned over, looking at her younger brother curiously.

She noticed that Qian Mo's aura had changed again.

If before he was like a sunny, warm boy next door, now he had an added layer of depth and mystery. His eyes seemed capable of seeing through the deepest secrets of people's hearts.

"This skull gave me a very interesting ability."

Qian Mo opened his eyes, a golden glint flashing in their depths. "Perfect, we can watch a show and relax."

"Watch a show?" Zhu Zhuqing also leaned closer, her cat ears twitching slightly.

Qian Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Omniscience Omnipotence, activate!"

An invisible mental wave spread out.

In the void before everyone, Auspicious Qi condensed, acting like a projector and slowly unfolding a crystal-clear image.

The image showed a noisy, dirty Blacksmith Shop.

The furnace fire was blazing red, and waves of heat rolled out.

A boy, dressed in coarse cloth patched all over and with a face full of coal dust, was wielding a hammer larger than himself, pounding away at the forge.

It was Tang San, nine years old.

At this moment, he was truly miserable.

Because he had no Immortal Herb and no tempering from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, his Mysterious Heaven Skill was stuck at a bottleneck and refused to advance.

To save money to buy rare metals for making hidden weapons, he had no choice but to work day and night at the Blacksmith Shop.

"Who is this?" Qian Renxue frowned in disgust, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "So dirty, like a beggar."

"This is the renowned Son of Clear Sky Douluo, Tang San," Qian Mo introduced with a smile. "Also, the genius who always shouts 'the path to seeking death'."

In the image.

Tang San was staring intently at a piece of red-hot Iron Mother.

This was a top-quality material he had saved up three months' wages to buy, intending to forge a sleeve dart.

"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"

Tang San let out a low cry, his eyes shining brightly, feeling incredibly cool.

Just then.

A passing Wild Dog, seemingly attracted by some special mineral scent from the Iron Mother, rushed in like lightning while Tang San turned to get water. It snatched the scorching hot Iron Mother and ran off.

"My Iron Mother!!"

Tang San turned back and his eyes widened in fury.

That was his lifeline!

"Beast! You are courting death!"

Tang San roared, activating Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step, and was about to give chase.

However.

This was the "person most unlucky today" chosen by "Omniscience Omnipotence."

The moment Tang San started to move, he didn't notice a fresh pile of excrement left by that wild dog under his feet.

Squelch.

His feet slipped.

Tang San drew a beautiful parabolic arc through the air.

"Bang!"

His face hit the ground first.

And precisely, he plunged directly into the nearby bucket of dirty water, filled with oil and rust, used for quenching.

Gurgle...

The bucket shook violently, emitting a string of bubbles.

The wild dog, carrying the Iron Mother, looked back at the two-legged beast who had gone in headfirst. Its eyes showed three parts mockery and seven parts disdain. Then, wagging its tail, it swaggered away.

Star Dou Great Forest, by the Lake of Life.

Deathly silence.

Immediately after.

"Pffft hahahaha!"

Qian Renxue burst into laughter without any regard for her image, tears flying out. She had to lean on Qian Mo's shoulder to keep from falling.

"This... this is the son of the Clear Sky Douluo? This is the genius?"

Qian Renxue pointed at Tang San on the screen, who was pulling his head out of the bucket, his face covered in rotten vegetable leaves and rusty water, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

"That dog... that dog's movement was much better than his!"

Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but have the corners of her mouth twitch wildly.

She tried hard to hold it in, but her shoulders trembled like a sieve.

"Is this the so-called 'Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track'?" Zhu Zhuqing added insult to injury, "He can't even dodge dog poop. It seems the agility attack system doesn't need this footwork."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other.

Their expressions were priceless.

Originally, they were quite wary of the Clear Sky Sect, after all, Tang Hao's hammer was no joke.

But after seeing this scene...

That "great enemy is upon us" tension instantly vanished, and they even felt like awarding that dog a "Martial Soul Hall Honorary Elder" medal.

Qian Mo watched the scene, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He wasn't concerned about the dog, nor the excrement.

But rather the worn-out bundle behind Tang San.

Through the data analysis of [Omniscience Omnipotence], he saw a corner of a map peeking out from the bundle.

The marked spot on it was deep within the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Man Faced Demon Spider..."

Qian Mo stroked his chin, lost in thought.

According to the original trajectory of fate, Tang San should encounter that Man Faced Demon Spider soon and obtain that External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, which could be called a divine skill.

That was a good item.

Although it looked a bit ugly, its ability to devour and evolve was indeed domineering.

"These little spider legs look quite unique." Qian Mo narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "They should be good as toothpicks for my pet, or for Zhu Zhuqing to roast and eat."

Since he had seen it, there was no reason to let anyone else have it.

This was the joy of Omniscience Omnipotence.

Your opportunity?

Sorry, if I see it, it becomes my delivery.

"Alright, enough of the show."

Qian Mo waved his hand, dispelling the image, and stretched, "Pack up, let's head back to the city."

"Going back already?" Qian Renxue was still a bit unsatisfied, "Let's watch a bit longer, I think he just stepped on a nail again."

"There will be plenty of opportunities to watch in the future."

Qian Mo turned around, his gaze cast towards the distance beyond the forest, in the direction of Suotuo City.

"Next, we should go take a look at that legendary Shrek Academy, the one that 'only accepts monsters'."

"I want to see, who is the monster, them or my fists."

The convoy slowly drove away from the core area.

Not long after Qian Mo and the others left.

The waters of the Lake of Life suddenly began to boil violently.

Deep at the bottom of the lake, a pair of huge vertical pupils, as if cast from molten gold, slowly opened.

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

All soul beasts, regardless of their age, prostrated themselves on the ground at this moment, trembling.

That was the Beast God, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.

"Lord..."

Di Tian's deep voice echoed from the bottom of the lake, with a hint of unbelievable tremor.

"That aura just now... was it a new Dragon God?"

"No... more noble, more sacred than the Dragon God."

"That is... the Auspicious Source, transcending the God Realm."

Di Tian slowly raised his huge dragon head, his gaze penetrating ten thousand meters of lake water, looking in the direction Qian Mo had left.

"The times have changed."

"Perhaps, the turning point for the soul beast race lies with this person."

"Go, investigate his background thoroughly."

"If he is an ally, protect him with the full might of our entire race."

"If he is an enemy..."

The golden light in Di Tian's eyes suddenly turned chillingly cold.

"Then, at all costs, kill him while he is still young and not yet fully grown!"
