These two hearts—one was the Vampire's Heart, and the other was Pangu's Heart.
They respectively possessed the Vampire's innate skill tree and Pangu's innate skill tree.
Whenever one heart was not beating, it meant that the nutrients Yu Xian absorbed would be stored in that heart.
For example, Yu Xian's Vampire's Heart was currently beating while Pangu's Heart was not, so the energy he accumulated would be stored in Pangu's Heart.
Once enough energy had been gathered, that heart would begin to beat.
However, unlike the Vampire's Heart, which awakened an innate ability every ten beats, Pangu's Heart needed to beat thirty-six times to activate a Pangu ability.
Yu Xian could now freely choose which heart beat and which remained still.
Moreover, he had previously only been able to judge when he would awaken an innate ability by counting heartbeats. Now, he could sense the energy stored within his hearts and determine when an ability could be awakened.
For instance, Pangu's Heart currently held energy equivalent to roughly thirty-four heartbeats.
It was probably the leftover energy from when he had taken Pangu's Blood to transform his body. Therefore, after Pangu's Heart beat twice more, he should be able to awaken a Pangu skill.
"I wonder what abilities Pangu has."
Yu Xian sat atop a Bubble and took out his phone, preparing to look it up and see whether the Qilin App had any records.
Qilin's research into Pangu had not been going on for merely a day or two. Many of Pangu's abilities had actually already appeared in people who had consumed Pangu's Blood, so they had all been documented.
Ordinarily, Yu Xian's clearance was insufficient to access this information.
However, his account now bore the badge marking a First-Class Merit, and much of the information had been opened to him. After submitting his request, he received access to these materials shortly afterward.
He opened the documents and read them carefully.
Pangu's abilities were called "Divine Abilities," because to Pangu, such powers were innate. Pangu himself required no additional conditions to use them.
However, these abilities were excessively powerful for ordinary people. Most of them consumed no small amount of energy and had to be used cautiously.
The following were the Divine Abilities obtained by all those who had consumed Pangu's Blood:
[Pangu's Divine Might: Those who obtain this Divine Ability can possess the strength of a hundred tons at Sparrow Level. Their bodies become indestructible, allowing them to overcome ten techniques with sheer force. Among all of Pangu's Divine Abilities, this is the foremost.]
[Pangu's Sky-Rending Divine Ability: Those who obtain this Divine Ability can tear apart space at Sparrow Level, forming spatial blades to attack enemies. However, this ability consumes an enormous amount of energy for ordinary people and is a high-consumption, high-attack ability.]
[Pangu's Life-Transmutation Divine Ability: Those who obtain this Divine Ability can transform different living beings into other forms at Sparrow Level. For example, they can turn people into sheep, dogs into people, animals into plants, and fungi into animals. Most terrifyingly, the effects produced by this ability are permanent.]
[Pangu's Undying Divine Ability: Those who obtain this Divine Ability gain unimaginably vigorous vitality. At Sparrow Level, they can survive with only their head remaining. Even if half their brain is cut away, they merely suffer temporary memory loss. In the later stages, they become almost impossible to kill; regenerating from a drop of blood or restoring themselves with a breath are merely routine operations.]
[Pangu's Sun-Eye Divine Ability: Those who obtain this Divine Ability can transform their eyes into blazing suns, firing sunlight that contains the Sun's True Fire.]
[Pangu's Spirit Pearl Divine Ability: Those who obtain this Divine Ability can condense a Spirit Pearl with spatial properties in their dantian. At Sparrow Level, it provides a space of 50,000 cubic meters.]
Pangu possessed an enormous variety of abilities. It could practically be said that they encompassed everything.
Yu Xian suddenly felt that the Vampire's innate abilities were no longer so appealing. Pangu's innate abilities were simply ridiculously powerful, especially Pangu's Undying Divine Ability. He wanted it far too badly.
For someone as terrified of death as him, Pangu's Undying Divine Ability was practically the ultimate ability of his dreams.
Furthermore, as a Vampire, he already possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities. Combined with Pangu's Undying Divine Ability, it would be like having double insurance.
If he possessed that ability, he would dare to take a stroll through even the most dangerous places.
In truth, a person's personality was not important at all. Whether one was reckless or cautious, what mattered most was ability, not personality.
What influenced a person's actions was also ability, not personality.
It was like someone with hundreds of millions in assets. No matter how cautious he was, he would still dare to dine at an upscale restaurant. But if he only had a few cents in his pocket, even the most reckless person would not go somewhere expensive to eat.
Yu Xian put away his phone. He had already made up his mind: for the time being, he would focus entirely on Pangu's Heart. Unless he drew Pangu's Undying Divine Ability, he would not switch back to the Vampire skill tree.
In fact, after learning about the abilities of the two hearts, he realized something: the Vampire bloodline's abilities were not limitless, but limited.
The two abilities he had previously awakened happened to confirm this.
The first ability, Blood of Silver—Jin Sheng had told him that Nora's father possessed the same ability, so it was clearly on the Vampire skill tree.
The second ability, Blood Energy, was likewise an ability from the Vampire skill tree.
Therefore, aside from "Light Eater," the abilities he had awakened were all abilities that Vampires might awaken, rather than abilities unique to him.
As for Light Eater, it was probably related to Nora's mutation.
After all, Nora was the first mixed-blood Vampire among Vampires who was not afraid of sunlight, while he was the first wild Vampire she had transformed not through a First Embrace, but through a blood injection.
If Nora was a mutated mixed-blood Vampire, then he was a mutation among mutations, a Vampire exceptional even among the exceptional. It was perfectly normal for his innate abilities to mutate as well.
After thoroughly checking his condition, he rose and left the room.
When he came out of the room, dawn had only just begun to break. To his surprise, a soldier was standing guard outside his door. The moment the soldier saw him emerge, he immediately saluted and said, "Reporting, sir. Colonel Jin asked me to inform you that the operation has begun. Once you woke up, you were to join the operation immediately. The order for entry can be collected from the operations team. Report complete."
"Alright, thank you." Yu Xian quickly returned the salute and thanked him.
Next, he opened his phone, entered the Demon-Slaying Team, and collected the order authorizing entry into the restricted zone.
He took out a Bluetooth earpiece from his pocket, put it on, and entered the team's voice channel.
"Captain, codename Salty Fish, requesting to rejoin the team," Yu Xian said.
Jin Sheng replied, "Mm. Since you're awake, I approve your return. Head to the location I've marked for you as quickly as possible. You'll be responsible for that area. I'll send Blue Bird to support you."
"Understood!" Yu Xian did not waste any words.
Then, under the soldier's astonished gaze, he created a Bubble, climbed inside it, and manipulated it to swiftly fly into the sky.
The order on his phone had already taken effect.
His phone would automatically be identified and tracked by satellite, ensuring that he would not be shot down by his own side's missiles when he flew into the restricted zone.
