Integration trait—[Hyper-Adaptation · Aether] Effect: Grants extraordinary adaptability to aether, vastly increasing the speed and efficiency of absorbing and integrating it.
When Yu Yuan told Dawnlight about the trait's effect, he clearly sensed Dawnlight freeze for a moment.
Then Dawnlight looked at Yu Yuan with a most unusual gaze.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuan asked in surprise.
Dawnlight let out a long sigh before slowly saying:
"If other gold-tier lifeforms, or even those at the Transdimensional Tier, found out about this trait of yours, they'd probably die of envy."
Before Yu Yuan could ask, Dawnlight began explaining.
"You should know that not every lifeform that advances to the Gold Tier can awaken an integration trait. Some races exhaust their potential just reaching the Gold Tier through sheer luck, leaving them no further chance to integrate aether.
"And even when an integration trait does appear, its name usually has a modifier like [Minor Adaptation] or [Moderate Adaptation]. Although the names differ by only a single word, the speed at which they absorb and integrate aether is worlds apart.
"It's precisely these small differences in integration traits that determine whether a gold-tier lifeform can advance to the Transdimensional Tier."
Yu Yuan had never imagined that advancing to the Transdimensional Tier involved nuances like these.
"And the strongest integration talent I know of is only [Total Adaptation], which already stands in a class of its own. [Super Adaptation]... this is my first time hearing of it, too."
Dawnlight looked thoughtful, recalling the past.
"By my estimate, the integration talents of those in the Civilization Ladder's Transdimensional Council are at most on the level of [Moderate Adaptation]. The Everfrost Tyrant might fall into the [Adaptation] category."
Dawnlight's words gave Yu Yuan a better understanding of the Transdimensional Tier.
He had never expected that
