After Qin Hun obtained the divine ability "Slaughter Army Souls," the server-wide announcement caused an uproar among the players.
Players knew very little about divine abilities.
At this stage, the only abilities players commonly encountered were cultivation methods, combat spells, and support spells—three categories specifically used to increase one's strength.
Cultivation methods generally only strengthened players' physiques, expanded their spiritual energy reserves, or improved the quality of the spiritual energy stored within their bodies.
But there were exceptions. For instance, after cultivating a top-tier technique like Giant Spirit Rage, one could acquire special skills.
Combat spells, meanwhile, were skills specifically used for battle.
For example: Lightning Summoning, Fireball, Seven Star Fist, Instant Step, Rage, Storm Descends, and so on.
Such abilities could increase a player's destructive power in combat.
Support spells, on the other hand, primarily focused on control and healing.
For example: Healing, Nature's Shroud, Ground Collapse, Death Coil, Blood Reversal, and so on.
These spells had limited destructive power and were mainly used to restrain enemies or help teammates recover from injuries.
With the emergence of Thunder Sound Hall, players mastered more and more spells, and different player archetypes began to emerge.
Aside from all-round troop-development players, individual-development players were divided into three categories: those specializing in combat, those focusing on combat support, and those specializing in battlefield control.
Yet even now, players had never understood divine abilities. They did not know what divine abilities truly were, nor whether they should be classified as spells or cultivation methods.
As a result, players on the Omnipotent God Forum began discussing the matter.
"This newbie is totally confused. Can someone well-endowed come out and explain what divine abilities actually are? Are they like the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Spirits or the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends from mythology?"
