Shen Ye glanced at Xiatelai on the bed.
She was sound asleep.
The night had been fairly peaceful.
So opening a Gate to retrieve the Trait would be fairly safe, too.
But he absolutely had to come back.
Only the Demon of Fear's personality remained in Nine Forms' memories-
Wouldn't that give it direct access to all this being's memories, allowing it to win the entire battle for control among the personalities?
Shen Ye still knew where to draw the line on that.
He withdrew his gaze and looked into the void.
Along with the Fate from earlier, faint light had already formed small lines of text:
"You have connected to an extremely ancient and powerful planet. Your Gate Ability has gained an opportunity to improve." "Please continue exploring this planet. Once your exploration reaches a certain extent, your Gate Ability will evolve." "Furthermore." "Are you sure you wish to devour the newly acquired Trait?"
This was the final confirmation!
Drawn to the preceding passage, Shen Ye was about to confirm when a flash of inspiration struck him.
Wait!
Wait a second!
This was his first time seeing a black Trait!
Although it was a curse from the Demon of Fear, it was still his first encounter with one.
Was there some way...

Shen Ye stood by the windowsill and thought for a while.
But...

"How are black Traits ranked? I remember the Trait ranks, from lowest to highest, being gray, green, blue, purple, gold, dark gold, and red."
Shen Ye asked silently.
Faint light formed small lines of text:
"Like pink Traits, black Traits are extremely rare and are not subject to these rank restrictions."
*So that was how it
