The most difficult game in history has descended upon the world, and players can obtain a random talent as soon as they log in.
Jiang Hao starts with a Supreme-level talent: as long as it is ...
"Bloodline inheritance?"
Yun Xinghe said, "Yes, bloodline inheritance! The beast race and the deep sea race, oh, and also the jackal race. After their individual strength reaches a certain level, they may awaken the bloodline from their ancestors, which contains the innate supernatural abilities of their race."
"Take Oron for example. Before its rise, the Gnoll Empire was merely a clan-level realm. Oron was just a minor commander within that realm. However, upon reaching the Diamond level, it awakened its clan's spatial perception ability. Subsequently, it repeatedly distinguished itself in battle, rising in rank and increasing in strength. When the Gnolls transformed from a clan-level realm into the fourth largest empire alongside the Beastmen, the Deep Sea Clan, and the Dragon Clan, Oron became the Gnoll Empire's Grand Tutor. It can be said that the Gnoll Empire's current prosperity is inseparable from Oron."
Jiang Hao was surprised, never expecting that Aorong, who was so noble in his eyes, would have such a background and experience.
Jiang Hao asked, "Are there many races among the gnolls? Does each race have different innate supernatural abilities and skills?"
Yun Xinghe said, "Yes! That's right. No one knows how the first gnoll appeared. They were initially scattered throughout the beastmen's territory, and each clan had a special supernatural ability. Although gnolls reproduce very quickly, the probability of awakening a supernatural ability is pitifully small. For example, in the clan that Aorong belonged to, out of 100,000 gnolls, only he was able to awaken the ability of spatial perception. Now, his clan numbers in the tens of millions, yet no second Aorong has ever emerged."
Jiang Hao thought to himself, "Thank goodness it's like this, otherwise it would be a real headache."
Yun Xinghe continued, "As for the dragons, they are born with the bloodline and supernatural powers of their race, making them incredibly powerful. Fortunately, their birth rate is low, which is why they haven't unified the entire realm. However, it's worth mentioning that Prince Yu of the dragon race, besides having the current Dragon King as his father, also has a princess from another powerful dragon clan as his mother. He inherits the bloodlines of two noble dragon clans and is recognized by the dragon clan as the next generation's Dragon King."
This Prince Yu had once invited Jiang Hao to a royal banquet through the old king, showing him considerable goodwill. Jiang Hao thought to himself, "I didn't expect its bloodline to be so noble; its strength must be among the best of the dragons!"
Yun Xinghe continued, "As for the human race, their talents are diverse. As long as they enter this realm, they can awaken a talent. However, I have never seen any other realm as diverse as the one you are in, with so many realms suitable for combat."
Why?
Jiang Hao asked, "Are the other human races different from those in our realm?"
Yun Xinghe said, "It's different, of course it's different! You probably haven't seen the humans in other realms. In a realm, even if the population is tens of billions, having one B-level talent is the absolute limit! Unlike your realm, where B-level talents are everywhere, A-level talents are as common as dogs, and there are more S-level and above talents than legendary experts in the Spirit Ruins?"
Yun Xinghe pointed to the thousands of Heavenly Academy students grinding for experience on the Eternal Life Grassland and said, "Look at them! More than 200 of them have B-level talent, and the rest are all A-level! Even the Human King would jump up from his throne and say, 'Holy crap, awesome!'"
Jiang Hao was completely stunned.
Could it be that Earth has been blessed by the gods?
Or is there some great secret on Earth that I haven't discovered yet?
Jiang Hao kept this matter to himself.
Jiang Hao said, "It seems our realm is quite powerful! Do you think we can become the Sixth Empire?"
Yun Xinghe rolled his eyes at Jiang Hao and said, "Take away 'our'! Don't you have even a shred of awareness of being a strong person? You have two legendary-level skills and one god-level skill, and you already have four legendary-level summons. What more do you want? Send your Ice Silkworm to any realm, and who can stop you? I can't think of anything that can stop you in an era where god-level experts don't exist!"
Am I really that strong?
Jiang Hao had once considered sending Ice Silkworm to the Fifth Realm to wipe out the Jackal Empire's stronghold with a single super-cold attack. However, Ice Silkworm said that there were too many people in that realm, and she couldn't fully utilize her strength.
Jiang Hao had considered sending Xiao Shi to the Fifth Realm to go directly to the Jackal King's City and kill Aorong, but he was afraid that Aorong, who had spatial perception abilities, would take action and kill Xiao Shi in advance.
Especially after learning that Aorong was already a legendary, infinity-level late-stage player, Jiang Hao became even less willing to take risks.
Currently, Little Shit is the only star-level teleportation power in the entire human race. Even if it's just temporarily recuperating in the summoning space, it could still bring enormous trouble to the human race.
According to Yun Xinghe, the balance of power has already shifted, and time is on Jiang Hao's side; there's no need to take such a risk. Moreover, the human race has tried countless times to carry out surprise attacks and assassinations, and several legendary powerhouses have already fallen; it simply won't work.
Alright! Jiang Hao had no choice but to abandon the idea for now.
Jiang Hao said, "Do you think it's possible that Ling Shun has awakened a talent bloodline related to treasure hunting?"
Yun Xinghe nodded and said, "I think it's possible. What's wrong? Do you want it?"
Jiang Hao nodded.
His concern was that suddenly bringing over a legion's general would alert the jackals. Even in the midst of heavy snow, the sudden disappearance of a legion's general would seem eerie. Moreover, the jackals would surely report this to Crown Prince Gu Chen. If they alerted the enemy, Yun Xinghe's efforts would be in vain.
So Jiang Hao asked Yun Xinghe if he had any good ideas.
Yun Xinghe said, "You should send 400,000 magical beasts from each of the forests to attack Ling Shun's central army. When the central army is in chaos and Ling Shun tries to escape, you can just bring him over and kill him."
Jiang Hao immediately communicated with the little foodie, instructing it to act according to the plan. Soon, from the White Spirit Tree forest, 400,000 powerful magical beast legions charged out from each side of the battle line between the Ling Shun Legion and the Magical Beast Legion. They did not join the battle in the middle, but instead ran directly south. Their figures could not be seen in the wind and snow, and they were only discovered by the Ling Shun Legion's scouts when the thunderous sound of their running reached them.
By the time the scouts relayed the message to Ling Shun, an army of 800,000 demonic beasts had already charged from behind the central legion, which was arrayed in formation. Ling Shun was terrified and turned his demonic wolf mount to flee eastward. On the way, he was pounced on by a nimble flying leopard over three meters tall, and then its body disappeared.
Jiang Hao smashed Ling Shun to death under his staff with a few blows. After upgrading his resurrection skill, he used his skill on Ling Shun's corpse: Resurrection!
