Chapter 269: Special Innate Talent
Revgen wasn’t surprised by Yale’s sudden increase of strength because he just considered that he recovered some of his original power after recovering the Life Bloodline.
As for Yale, he was delighted with the increase of his power. The war with the True Empire would be soon and the more strength he could obtain the better.
However, the delight he had with the increase of his power couldn’t be compared with the excitement he had while checking the Innate Talent Menu.
The new special innate talent was listed just under the Last Wish System inside the Innate Talent Menu.
The name of the special innate talent already looked powerful.
“Divine Eyes: Special Innate Talent.”
However, that innate talent had a huge difference with the rest; it had a long description after the name.
Normal innate talents were related to the elements or battle styles, so there wasn’t the need of any description, but the special innate talents were more profound than just giving more talent in training.
Although the Last Wish System didn’t have a description despite being also a special innate talent, there was a tutorial in the system itself, so there was no need of such description. However, that new innate talent wasn’t a function of the system or was related to it.
Yale could be sure that the Divine Eyes hadn’t been derived from the Last Wish System just by reading the start of the description.
“Special Innate Talent that belonged to the user’s past life.”
Reading that, Yale didn’t doubt that the Divine Eyes were a Special Innate Talent that existed before the Last Wish System. He could believe that the Last Wish System obtained something from the Divine Eyes, but not the opposite.
“Possessing this Special Innate Tale increases all the talents related to Life, Death, Time, and Space to the Divine grade.”
The next sentence wasn’t less impressive than the first one; Yale didn’t even know what a Divine grade talent was.
Yale went to check his other talents before continuing, and the first one he saw had also changed to a Divine grade talent despite Yale thinking that had no relation at all.
“Magic Latent Talent: Divine grade. Natural affinity to any magic. Increases the comprehension of the Life Law.”
The fact that the magic talent was something related to the Life Law was something unexpected for Yale, but that was due to his lack of knowledge about the true essence of magic.
Usually, humans called magic to anything that could be used with the magic energy of the Magus Path. That definition wasn’t incorrect, but it wasn’t precise once one reached higher levels.
Any type of magic related to a law would be considered a Law Skill once an expert start to control the laws. At that point, the only skills that could be called magic were the pure magic, and those were all related to the Life Law.
For example, skills for boosting the strength, to create barriers, or to create formations that didn’t rely on any element.
That was what the experts called magic, any magic cast by a practitioner of the Magus Path was nothing but a joke for them.
However, it was true that one needed some Magic Talent to train at any magic at a low level, but that was because trying to have magic in a body with zero affinity towards life was a death wish as the body would reject such energy.
After all, at low levels, there isn’t any law that could be used by a weak practitioner, and it was just due to the assistance of the Life Law that it was possible for them to use elemental magic. That assistance was something natural in Yale’s world, but not all worlds worked in the same way.
Yale continued looking his innate talents and found a similar description to his Healing Innate Talent; it had also become a Divine grade talent due to the relationship with the Life Law.
The other three to change were Poison, Time, and Space; the first one was related to the Death Law while the other two to their respective laws.
However, what surprised Yale the most was a new Innate Talent listed under Yale’s Space Innate Talent.
“Soul Affinity: Divine Grade. Natural affinity to the souls. Increases the comprehension of the Death Law.”
There wasn’t any element corresponding to the soul, so the only way to have a talent related to souls was possessing a Divine grade Innate Talent. In fact, the only reason it was called Divine Grade was to compare it with the others because the Soul Affinity could only be Divine Grade.
Yale stopped checking his other Innate Talents and returned to the description of Divine Eyes.
“Divine Eyes had been classified in levels by the user’s past life. The level is determined by the laws used while using the Special Innate Talent.”
It was unexpected for Yale that Liye had created such classification for his own innate talent, but for Innate Talents that work differently depending on how the user of the talent utilized it, it wasn’t anything strange.
The Last Wish System was a special innate talent but wasn’t a natural one, and there was no need to create levels of use, but for the Divine Eyes, it was necessary.
“Talent Level 0: Divine Appraisal Eyes. Allows the user to see the characteristics of objects and some resumed information about living beings. If the difference of power is too high, the Divine Appraisal Eyes will fail.”
That function seemed too familiar to Yale, and it wasn’t without reason because that was the Appraisal Function of the Last Wish System. It was obvious that the Appraisal Function was created based on the Divine Appraisal Eyes, the lowest level of the Divine Eyes.
“Talent Level 1: Divine Life Eyes. Allows the user to see through any secret of the target’s body. Conditions to use this level for the current power of the user: Activate the Life Bloodline for users weaker than the target. Activate the Origin Life Bloodline for users at the same level or higher than the target.”
The first level of the Divine Eyes was already too fearsome, if someone knows all the secrets of the opponent’s body, beating such an opponent wouldn’t be difficult.
However, the bad part for Yale was the requirements, the Divine eyes were by default at the lowest level, and only when he actively used the Life Bloodline, the Divine Eyes would be at the first level.
Yale still didn’t have a Condensed Life Essence, so at that moment he could only use the Divine Life Eyes to targets weaker than him.
“Talent Level 2: Divine Death Eyes. Allows the user to see through any secret of the target’s body and soul. It is possible to discern if the target had a previous life. Reading the thoughts of people with weak minds is possible. Conditions to use this level for the current power of the user: Activate the Life Bloodline and the Death Bloodline for users weaker than the target. Activate the Origin Life Bloodline and the Origin Death Bloodline for users at the same level or higher than the target.”
Yale thought that the second level was awesome especially the part of reading minds, although recognizing the souls that had been reincarnated was also good.
Moreover, with the Divine Death Eyes, he could saw the soul state of others, so it would be easy to detect those with marks on their souls without using any other method, detect who had been enslaved or check if someone had the soul damaged.
“Talent Level 3: Divine Time Eyes. Allows the user to see the near past of the target. If used on a corpse it is possible to see its last moments before dying ad long the death is recent. Using it in a newborn would reveal the newborn’s past life if the newborn has one. Conditions to use this level for the current power of the user: Activate the Origin Life Bloodline, the Origin Death Bloodline, and the Origin Time Bloodline.”
Yale was shocked by the power of the Divine Time Eyes, but he knew that he wouldn’t be able to use it outside the Storage Space because he couldn’t create the Origin Time Bloodline Outside and was a must to use the third level.
“Talent Level 4: Divine Space Eyes. All the functions of the previous levels can be used as long the user knew the target, and both were in the same world. Conditions to use this level for the current power of the user: Activate the Origin Life Bloodline, the Origin Death Bloodline, the Origin Time Bloodline, and the Origin Space Bloodline.”
That fourth level was truly worthy of the name Divine Eyes. Moreover, that was just the limit for Liye before reincarnating; it was still unknown if there were more levels after the fourth one.
The Divine Eyes was part of Yale’s constitution; were something that Yale had always possessed even since his past life was born, they just needed to awaken again after reincarnation.
Moreover, to use the full potential of that constitution, it was very important having learned well the Life Law, the Death Law, the Time Law, and the Space Lar. It was because his innate Divine Eyes that Liye had focused on those four laws.
The Divine Eyes were extremely useful, but for the current Yale even using Origin Legacy Bloodlines, if the opponent surpassed his strength by a lot, it would still be difficult to succeed.
