Looking at the Virtual Screen before him and taking in the information that had suddenly appeared in his mind, Wang Cheng's lips gradually curled into a smile. It grew wider and wider.

After a moment, Wang Cheng quickly calmed down. He suppressed his smile and began to think through everything that had suddenly happened.

Wang Cheng automatically understood the panel and the flood of information that had appeared before him as the Golden Finger that came with his transmigration.

As a transmigrator without a Golden Finger, Wang Cheng had lived a rather cautious life.

He had gone out of his way to befriend Luo Feng, but even if he later got the chance to cling to Luo Feng's coattails, he hadn't expected to achieve much himself. Becoming an Immortal would have been more than enough to make him grateful to the heavens and burn incense in thanks.

Wang Cheng also understood that he was more likely to die on the path to becoming stronger. No matter how well he got along with Luo Feng, he was still an outsider. Luo Feng couldn't help him the way he would help his own family. Given those circumstances, how could someone with such ordinary talent possibly grow stronger?

But now, with his Golden Finger finally here, Wang Cheng immediately felt that everything was different!

Befriend Luo Feng?

Before, it had been partly for what he could gain. Now, it was because Wang Cheng genuinely admired Luo Feng as a person!

This simple change in attitude reflected the confidence Wang Cheng now felt!

Even without relying on Luo Feng, he had hope!

"The Opportunity Grasping System!" Thinking of the name and function of his Golden Finger, Wang Cheng couldn't help feeling delighted.

The Opportunity Grasping System had a simple function: even if Wang Cheng did nothing but stay at home, he could still obtain opportunities scattered across the world.

Wang Cheng gained one Opportunity Point every Earth day. He had been in this world for three months, so he now had 91 Opportunity Points.

By spending Opportunity Points, Wang Cheng could randomly grasp an opportunity.

The more Opportunity Points he spent in one attempt, the wider the area he could search and the greater his chances of finding a good opportunity.

For example, if Wang Cheng spent one Opportunity Point to grasp an opportunity, he could search across the entire Earth.

Spending three points expanded the range to the entire Solar System. Spending nine points covered the entire Milky Way Galaxy...

The Solar System was far more than three times the size of Earth, and the Milky Way Galaxy was countless times larger than the Solar System. Clearly, the increase in Opportunity Points wasn't proportional to the size of the search area. But one thing was certain: the more Opportunity Points he spent, the wider the range he could search!

"Based on the information that appeared in my mind, my first attempt comes with a special bonus. Spending one Opportunity Point gives me the effect of a thousand, and greatly increases the odds of finding an opportunity suited to me. In that case..." Wang Cheng immediately acted on the thought.

In an instant, the number of Opportunity Points on the Virtual Screen before him dropped from 91 to zero.

For his first attempt, Wang Cheng had put in every Opportunity Point he had.

And because it was his first attempt, his 91 Opportunity Points had the effect of 91,000.

Hum!

In an instant, a silent force swept across the entire Original Universe and rapidly expanded into the depths of the Vast Sea of the Universe.

In a certain dimension of the Three Thousand Vast Seas of the Universe, within a sea of void, a Light Cluster made up of ten colors was greedily absorbing the energy around it and rapidly growing.

Suddenly, a silent force swept through the area.

In an instant, the Light Cluster of ten colors disappeared.

At the same time, the Virtual Screen before Wang Cheng changed. Lines of text appeared on it.

[Spent 91 Opportunity Points. First opportunity grasp successful.]

[Opportunity category: Treasure]

[Opportunity name: Primal Embryo]

[How to use opportunity: Take orally]

[Effect: Transforms the body and soul, granting the Primal Body]

As the lines of text appeared, Wang Cheng felt his consciousness connect to a void space. The space was empty, with nothing but a Light Cluster of ten colors hovering quietly within it.

"Is this the Primal Embryo?" Wang Cheng could sense it clearly. As long as he wished, the Primal Embryo would appear in his hand immediately.

Now that the opportunity was his, Wang Cheng had no intention of holding back. He naturally planned to try using it right away!

"I hope it doesn't cause too much of a commotion!" Wang Cheng thought, then focused his mind.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Wang Cheng felt a slight warmth in his throat. Then a warm sensation spread through his body, and his consciousness began to grow hazy.

"What just happened?" Wang Cheng was dazed. In his muddled state, it took a great deal of effort to piece together what had happened.

The Primal Embryo had indeed appeared in Wang Cheng's hand in an instant. At that very moment, his hand had brought it to his mouth.

It had been a completely subconscious action. One could even say it was his body's instinctive reaction upon touching the Primal Embryo—like a lonely pervert who had spent countless years yearning for a beautiful girl with no way to resist him. Neither would hesitate for even a moment.

"If the Primal Embryo is this irresistible to my body, it must be something incredible, right?" That was Wang Cheng's final thought. Then he lost consciousness completely and collapsed onto the floor of the Training Room with a thump!

He wasn't unconscious for long. As the sky began to lighten, Wang Cheng slowly opened his eyes where he lay on the Training Room floor.

The morning dew fell drop by drop. Countless insects went about their business in places unseen. A gentle breeze stirred, and warm sunlight fell.

Wang Cheng quietly took it all in. He understood that he was completely different now!

Name: Wang Cheng

Age: 25

Evolution Level: Planet level first order (Ten Times Gene)

Opportunity Points: 1

Treasures: None

Secret Realms: None

Wang Cheng stared wide-eyed at the Virtual Screen before him. He could hardly believe the information on it.

In just one night, he had gone from Apprentice Tier 3 to Planet level first order. More importantly, his Gene level had leaped to ten times its previous level!

On Earth, Planet level first order was known as Beyond War God. Anyone at that level was one of the elite of the elite, with astonishing power and influence!

Of course, that wasn't actually all that remarkable. In the universe, Planet level was only the starting point. There were countless treasures capable of instantly turning an Apprentice into someone at Planet level.

The crucial thing was the leap in Gene level!

If one had to describe Gene level, it was the difference between a higher life-form and a lower life-form.

Take the peak-bloodline Kinkaku Giant Beast among the Starry Sky Behemoths. Compared with ordinary humans, it wouldn't be wrong to call them a higher life-form. Unlike the weak Earthlings, a Kinkaku Giant Beast was already at Planet level when it was born, and an adult Kinkaku Giant Beast was directly at Realm Lord peak!

The Kinkaku Giant Beast's Gene level was, in fact, ten times that of an ordinary human!

A leap in Gene level was extraordinarily difficult. Aside from methods like the Nine Tribulation Scripture, which could be called a "cheat," raising one's Gene level basically required a Special Treasure. And such treasures were either incredibly precious or came with special requirements for their use!

For example, the Blood Luo Crystal could make a person suffer unbearable agony. An ordinary person would have no chance of absorbing it!

"Does my Gene level seem to still be rising?" Wang Cheng felt the warmth that lingered within his body and grew a little uncertain.

Wang Cheng wasn't just guessing. The sensation within his body told him that his Gene level was probably still increasing. The process was slow, but it was steady.

"And I've also gained an Innate Talent?" Wang Cheng thought. Then he focused his mind, and a faint white light suddenly appeared around him. It enveloped him completely before slowly dividing into two streams.

Whoosh!

The two streams of white light faded, and two Wang Chengs stood in their place.

The difference was that the auras of the two Wang Chengs were completely different. One was powerful, while the other was weak. But in truth, both bodies were Wang Cheng, and his consciousness was shared between them.

In other words, Wang Cheng was now controlling both bodies at once.

"What kind of weird Innate Talent is this?" The two Wang Chengs looked at each other helplessly.

The powerful Wang Cheng was still at Planet level first order. He was Wang Cheng's Main Body, while the weaker Wang Cheng was presumably the Clone he had just created.

But the Clone's power was pitifully weak. Even before taking the Primal Embryo, Wang Cheng had been far stronger.

"I'll have to try again!"

Wang Cheng focused his mind once more. In an instant, faint white light appeared around Wang Cheng's Main Body again.

This time, the light lasted longer than it had before. Soon, it split into two streams again, and the "Wang Cheng" in the Training Room became three.

The two newly created Wang Chengs had exactly the same aura.

"The power was divided evenly, but the new bodies are still just Clones!" Feeling out his situation, Wang Cheng quickly worked out a few things.

"..."

Wang Cheng patiently studied his Innate Talent. It wasn't until the sky outside had grown almost completely bright that he finally figured out what it did.

It was a Special Clone Technique. Wang Cheng could use it to create a large number of Clones, though not without limit. He could create at most 10,081!

How powerful the Clones were depended on how much of his power Wang Cheng was willing to give them.

If he gave a Clone little power, it would naturally be weak, like the first Clone Wang Cheng had created.

If he gave a Clone more power, it would naturally be stronger, like the second Clone Wang Cheng had created.

However, the combined power of Wang Cheng himself and all his Clones remained constant. That was why Wang Cheng's Main Body's aura had weakened after he created a powerful Clone.

Wang Cheng could vaguely sense that his Clones took away more than just power. They also took a portion of his consciousness and soul.

This wasn't a good thing. If a Clone died and its soul couldn't return to Wang Cheng's Main Body in time, then Wang Cheng's own soul would be damaged.

In some situations, damage to the soul could be fatal. A little damage might be manageable, but if too much of the soul was damaged, there would be no way to undo it!

Hu Yanbo, who was still lying beneath the Earth's surface, could certainly speak from experience... From this perspective alone, this Innate Talent was truly awful!

Of course, after studying it, Wang Cheng still found an advantage to this Special Clone Technique.
