Successful Possession, Drawing Talents!

After half a month, the Golden Horned Beast broke out of its shell. Though newly born, it was already highly intelligent.

But it had little understanding of the world.

All of its knowledge came from the inheritance memories in its mind.

First, eat the eggshell.

The Golden Horned Beast gnawed at the shell. After digesting it all, he immediately grew to sixteen meters long!

Its gaze then fell on the "egg incubator" outside.

The incubator was made of metal, with a special ratio of various metals. Eating it could increase the Golden Horned Beast's strength, which was why the incubator cost over two thousand points.

Eat!

The Golden Horned Beast's eyes lit up. It gnawed a hole in the incubator, and its enormous head saw the scene outside.

Its inheritance memories mentioned the human race. They also said that, after being born, it could choose a suitable human as its first clone, infiltrate the human race, and use their resources to obtain metal and grow quickly.

Before him stood two humans...

But both wore smiles, and those smiles did not look friendly.

"Go to sleep!"

Chen Yi activated a hereditary secret technique of Meteorite Ink Star, using an illusion to hypnotize the Golden Horned Beast.

With his strong consciousness and Star Level First Stage cultivation, hypnotizing a newly born Golden Horned Beast was easy.

"Eat." Chen Yi hypnotized the Golden Horned Beast, making it gnaw on the "egg incubator" and absorb its metal.

Chen Yi gazed at the Golden Horned Beast.

He felt a little emotional. If he had not awakened his memories of his previous life and acquired the Cloud Raising Mirror, the creature before him, hypnotized in an instant, would have brought a great calamity upon the entire Earth.

But...

There was no need to worry now.

Chen Yi turned his gaze to Luo Feng. The main event would be up to him next...

He then said,

"Luo Feng, I'll leave the possession to you."

"As Senior Yun said, after the possession, you'll probably need some time to adapt to your new body and receive the inheritance memories. Gestating a human body will also take some time..."

"All right, leave everything to me."

Luo Feng nodded. It had been settled half a month ago that he would carry out the possession, so he no longer tried to defer.

He felt that the idea Chen Yi had talked about over the past few days was right.

They were all part of one collective, growing for Earth and Meteorite Ink Star, growing in pursuit of the martial path, and helping one another.

Who went first and who went later

didn't matter much. The collective's interests came first.

Luo Feng was now at the ninth stage of the planetary level, and he had enough Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts to break through to the stellar level. He was suppressing his cultivation to ensure that the Golden Horned Beast's body could contain his consciousness.

During possession,

the consciousness could not be too much stronger than the physical constitution of the life-form being possessed.

But... the Golden Horned Beast itself had a fairly high genetic multiplier. Once it ate the incubator's shell and improved a little more, it would surely be able to contain Luo Feng's soul.

Time passed bit by bit.

The hypnotized Golden Horned Beast ate the incubator's shell. Its strength improved somewhat, and its body grew larger once more... Then Luo Feng used the possession secret technique on it.

His soul consciousness plunged straight into the pronucleus inside the Golden Horned Beast's body, wiped out its soul, and swiftly took control of its sea of consciousness.

The Golden Horned Beast, asleep in its dream,

would never wake again.

Everything went smoothly.

Luo Feng's original body, having lost its soul, collapsed to the ground...

Chen Yi and Babata waited.

Some time later,

Luo Feng's voice came through the communications channel in Chen Yi's mind. The Cloud Raising Mirror was bound to will and consciousness, and the Mirror of Illusion in Luo Feng's mind was the same.

"I've successfully completed the possession. It's just... I'm not quite used to this body yet," Luo Feng's voice came through.

Chen Yi looked at the Cloud Raising Mirror in his mind.

At the same moment,

the latest notifications had appeared:

[Your Yun-raising subject "Luo Feng" has completed the milestone objective "Resolve the Golden Horned Beast calamity." You may now draw an item!]

[Note: The objective completed by your Yun-raising subject "Luo Feng" was "five-star." For this draw, you may select two items you want and draw them with a 100% success rate!]

[Additionally,]

[Because one of your Yun-raising subjects has completed a milestone objective of five-star importance!]

[Obtained:]

[Universal points × 50,000!]

"Fifty thousand universal points for a planetary-level Yun-raising subject completing a five-star objective?"

"That's enough for me to create the clone I want!"

Chen Yi took note of it.

He looked at the Cloud Raising Mirror again.

Many things had been added to Yun-raising subject "Luo Feng."

There were the three great innate secret techniques, "Devour," "Strengthen," and "Clone," as well as the Golden Horned Beast's inheritance memories, its talent for the Law of Metal, its talent for the law of space, and its tenfold genetic level...

Chen Yi was not surprised to see the law of space talent. The Golden Horned Beast did have a talent for the law of space; it simply could not compare to the Demon Killer Clan. It had been mentioned in the original story.

Over the past half month,

Chen Yi had already decided what to draw.

Of all the abilities,

Clone was a must. It was the strongest means of staying alive and the most valuable thing the Golden Horned Beast had. If the Ganwu Country Lord had possessed clones, for example, he would not have ended up owing so many treasure points. Clone was an ability that even Masters of the Universe envied.

Moreover, to create a clone, the Golden Horned Beast needed only a tiny part containing a complete set of genes.

For example, if Chen Yi wanted the Golden Horned Beast's other talents, he could simply choose Clone, pluck a scale from the Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng right now, and then gestate a Golden Horned Beast clone. That would give him the other talents as well.

But Chen Yi felt that none of the Golden Horned Beast's other talents were worth wasting a precious clone slot on. He would be better off creating and nurturing a stronger clone himself.

Clones could serve as a major focus of his development going forward.

He had even prepared a unique plan for a clone that suited his Cloud Raising Mirror's abilities exceptionally well, making Clone an essential choice.

So, in practice,

He had to choose one of three things: the tenfold genetic level, the Law of Metal talent, or the innate secret technique Strengthen. The innate secret technique Devour had been the first thing Chen Yi ruled out.

Devouring metal allowed one to grow, with the world lord level as the upper limit. It guaranteed a minimum outcome: becoming a world lord. But for Chen Yi, choosing an innate secret technique for that guarantee was too great a loss.

The tenfold genetic level.

Chen Yi coveted it, but after considering it again and again over the past few days, he had ruled it out too.

A tenfold genetic level meant ten times the combat strength, but it would not help in the Genius Battle. Besides, powerful Masters of the Universe were basically all at a ten-thousandfold genetic level, while some special life-forms also had high genetic multipliers with ease.

Once Luo Feng cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual in the future, Chen Yi could draw the manual directly, or draw Luo Feng's improved genetic level.

That would be more valuable to draw later.

For the short term, the priority was preparing for the Genius Battle. Missing it would mean losing the fastest and safest path to advancement.

So Chen Yi naturally ruled out the innate secret technique Strengthen as well.

In the end, he decided to choose the Law of Metal talent first. The Golden Horned Beast's talent for the Law of Metal was certainly stronger than the innate law of wood talent of his Earthling body, and the gap was far from small...

The Golden Horned Beast was known as the "darling of the Law of Metal." The difference was as vast as heaven and earth; there was simply no comparison.

Although he could create treasures that improved law talents,

But even giving Hong several vials of Divine Light Liquid had only raised an Earthling's talent somewhat. To raise Hong's law of light talent to the level of a Golden Horned Beast's Law of Metal talent at the same stage would surely cost an astronomical number of points.

In the original story, Luo Feng had only broken into the top ranks of the Genius Battle in a very short time after possessing the Golden Horned Beast-and after the beast had reached the cosmic level.

Chen Yi thought that if he relied solely on his own law of wood talent, he would probably struggle even to make it into the Genius Battle's grand finals.

So that was the choice he ultimately made.

Even the clone he would gestate next would be paired with a law talent.

"Cloud Raising Mirror."

"Let me choose the items to draw. I choose Luo Feng's 'Golden Horned Beast innate talent: Clone' and the Golden Horned Beast's Law of Metal talent!"
