Lin Yu's answer was like a rollercoaster ride for the wise man. Just a moment ago, the wise man seemed unwilling to answer his question because of the embodiment of nature and great power, but after hearing what she said, the wise man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, even he struggled to find a specific ability that a wise man desired.

"This... that..."

The wise man's voice was somewhat hesitant. He had originally intended to tell the embodiment of nature and great power that he should simply become a god!

If one could become a god, then one would have endless time and energy to explore the mysteries of those ultimate questions.

However, even before hearing the goddess's reply, the wise man knew that this wish was somewhat excessive.

Although the wise man was usually taciturn in the tribe, his innate intelligence still allowed him to understand the ways of the world.

However, within the tribe, his status was rather detached, so he didn't need to consider matters of interpersonal relationships.

However, when facing such an extraordinary being as a goddess, he naturally could no longer maintain the same indifferent attitude as he did when facing his own people.

The wise man had already noticed that when he asked the goddess only three questions, her brows had already furrowed tightly, as if her questions were quite difficult to answer.

If he were to get angry later and say something like, "Just let me become a god," this elegant and dignified goddess might just be driven to her death by him!

"You still know that!" Lin Yu roared inwardly.

The sage's strength was far inferior to Lin Yu's, so it was extremely easy for him to read the sage's thoughts in his spiritual sea. Therefore, without the sage's own knowledge, his chaotic thoughts had already been read word for word into Lin Yu's ears.

Lin Yu was furious when he saw the wise man still looking dazed.

Just by looking at him, you'd think he was an honest and simple guy, but in reality he's quite the outrageous one.

He really dares to think that way!

He didn't even answer his question, yet he dared to wish for instant godhood!

Regardless of whether he aspires to be a god like Lin Yu, who transcends the fantasy universe, he may simply be seeking to understand the deeper rules of this world.

But don't forget, even the wisest of today are only wise in comparison to the ignorant members of their tribe.

In the entire fantasy universe, his abilities are nothing special.

Moreover, the "wise man" hadn't even begun his cultivation.

To think that someone with such a low level of skill could become a god, Lin Yu could only say that he truly didn't know his own limitations!

During the time Lin Yu remained silent, the stunning goddess naturally made no move, simply standing in the void and looking down at the wise man.

However, a sense of danger still quietly spread out.

The wise man seemed to sense this terrifying aura, and looking up at the expressionless, stunningly beautiful goddess, he seemed to belatedly realize the fundamental difference between the two.

He actually dared to dream of ascending to the heavens in one step and directly becoming an existence like a stunning goddess?

What a ridiculous idea!

Under immense pressure, the wise man had no choice but to stammer and change his words, but the hasty change made his speech extremely incoherent.

"Please... please give me the ability to know... uh, I mean... the ability to use objects! For example, putting a fire source on wood to make a torch, and a torch can drive away wild animals and bring light... that kind of ability!"

Even after saying this, the wise man still felt uneasy.

Not to mention the goddess on the horizon, even he himself felt that what he had just said was completely incoherent and he hadn't made any clear what he wanted at all.

In reality, even the wise man himself doesn't know that what he wants is not a specific ability, but more knowledge!

But now, even if a wise person truly knows what they want, they can't help but feel uneasy.

Because "knowledge" is not as concrete as Hulun'er's desire for a strong physique or the tribal shaman's desire for the ability to communicate with animals; rather, it is something very abstract.

In short, after answering the question from the stunning goddess, the wise man's heart began to pound.

Did I go too far?

Thinking about it carefully, this stunning goddess was not related to him at all; she just wanted to teach him. But he had actually made such an excessive request. It was really too much.

In the eyes of the wise man, the stunning goddess was silently scrutinizing him, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

However, Lin Yu had already activated the Hongmeng System, instructing it to create an "enlightenment book" for the wise man as quickly as possible.

These so-called "enlightenment books" are like encyclopedias from a past life, containing knowledge from all aspects.

In fact, creating such a data set wouldn't be particularly difficult for the Hongmeng System. However, the current era in which the wise live is far too primitive, and the things they can understand are quite limited. These factors have inadvertently increased the difficulty for the Hongmeng System.

For example, things like fantasy weapons and internal energy cultivation certainly don't need to be included in this "introductory book".

Because the principles it contains are beyond the limits of what wise people can currently comprehend.

This is due to the limitations of his species, not because the wise man himself did not try hard enough.

About half a minute later, the Hongmeng System issued a notification: "Ding! Deduction complete! Introductory book production complete!"

Only after hearing the notification from the Hongmeng System did the stunning goddess react.

Under the sage's uneasy gaze, the stunning goddess slowly raised one of her fingers.

The fingers were slender and long, white as jade, with a whiteness that seemed out of place in this era. Then, a golden parchment scroll floated in mid-air.

The parchment scroll was only a thin page, but the information it contained was quite terrifying.

The beautiful goddess gently touched the sage's forehead, and the parchment scroll seemed to find its direction, flying towards the sage.

Then, to the wise man's astonishment, the parchment scroll passed through his body and went directly... into his mind!

"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."

The wise man felt a tremendous buzzing sound reverberate throughout his mind!

It felt like a tsunami was raging inside his brain, relentlessly washing over him. He felt a splitting headache and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Lin Yu looked at him with a hint of helplessness.
