Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"What is the God-Slaying Bow? It looks really powerful," Wu Xie asked curiously.

Doesn't that sound super cool?!

"Wait a minute, let me look." Su Li thought about her inventory for a moment, and it seemed, should, probably, maybe... she found it!

Su Li pulled out a small, ice-blue bow from a corner of her space, examined it for a while, and then handed it to Black Bear.

"This God-Slaying Bow??? Was it made so hastily? Was it even a month old before it was put to work?" Black Bear asked, looking at the palm-sized object in his hand.

“Cough cough…” Su Li coughed tactically. “It’s not…it’s a toy from when I was a child.”

Black Blind Man: ...

It's great for kids to play with when they're little.

"The talent that magic artifacts point to is not the ability to use existing magic artifacts, but rather the magic artifacts that you can create yourself in the later stages of your cultivation that are most suitable for you."

"Use this little bow for now. When you can condense the prototype of a magical artifact using your own spiritual power without it, you'll have taken the first steps on this path."

As Su Li spoke, she took the small bow that was lying in Hei Xiazi's palm again, channeled her spiritual power into it, and the ice-blue little thing, which looked like a small decoration, grew in the wind and instantly turned into a longbow that was half the height of a person.

In that instant, he transformed from a tiny cutie into a towering giant.

Su Li concentrated her spiritual power at her fingertips, raised her hand, and drew the bowstring, conjuring a long, emerald-green arrow. (Reference: Xiao Hongkui from Legend of Sword and Fairy 3)

Black Bear's eyes gleamed. "This is cool! I want to learn this!!!"

Isn't that obvious? The talent is there; if you don't learn it, who will?

"Ah Li, I'm next!!!" Wu Xie couldn't wait any longer and immediately signed up to be next.

Su Li dispersed the spiritual energy from the longbow in her hand and tossed it to Hei Xiazi, then beckoned Wu Xie to come over.

Xie Yuchen lifted his long leg and kicked away Hei Xiazi, who was still clinging to Su Li, and gestured for Wu Xie to sit down.

Wu Xiaogou immediately scurried over to Su Li and eagerly pressed his hand on the spirit-testing plate.

'Supreme Golden Spiritual Root'

Spiritual Root Compatibility: 91

Special Beast-type talent bonus

100% compatibility, orcs prefer it (undeveloped).

Talents: Beast Taming, Sharp Blade, Charm

Wu Xie stared expectantly at Su Li, waiting for his explanation.

"Hmm... With your top-grade metal spiritual root, the sword your master prepared for you is very suitable. You can pursue the path of sword cultivation. There aren't many sword cultivators in the cultivation world. Generally, those with more aggressive spiritual roots, such as metal and lightning, cultivate swords."

With the enhancement of a sharp blade by a golden spiritual root, combined with the destructive power of a sword cultivator, its attack power is absolutely unmatched...

Your special beast-type talent is extremely favored by beast-type sects. If you were in a beast-taming sect, you would be pampered and cherished. However, this talent of yours is currently dormant and you need to cultivate the corresponding techniques to develop it.

As for this charm...

I... didn't quite understand..."

Su Li was also embarrassed. What did her friends find out? How come everyone's results were so special? Is this the power of the chosen one?

Wu Xie was a little disappointed. His own talents and spiritual roots didn't seem to be very good. They didn't sound as powerful as Xiao Hua and that guy with the black glasses.

Talent Point: Child, you have no idea what your abilities are...

Su Yunqing, watching the live stream: Wow, as expected of the King of Gu in Hangzhou!!! You've really unlocked such talent!!!

Fatty Wang looked at this one, then at that one. "Um... young man, who should go first?"

Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Well then, Fatty will go first." Fatty Wang rubbed his hands excitedly and stepped forward to go through the formalities.

Fire and Earth Dual Spiritual Roots

Spiritual Root Compatibility: 95

Talents: Alchemy, Defense, Blessed with Good Fortune

Ok……

At once……

So straightforward...

The kind that doesn't need any explanation...

The group watched as Fatty Wang burst into laughter without even needing Su Li's explanation.

Danxiu: A money-making expert in the cultivation world.

Defense: Security is guaranteed.

Blessed with good fortune?

How can someone possess such an outrageous talent?! It's even more outrageous than Xiao Hua's blessing of good deeds!!

At least you can explain merit—either accumulated in a past life or in this one. But what about this blessing bestowed upon you? Why don't you just say it's pure cheating?

No one, the unlucky little devil, is envious of the real-name registration system...

Black, incredibly unlucky, blind man, truly envious...

That's outrageous. Only four people were tested. One was blessed with good fortune and no taboos, another was blessed with good luck...

So it turns out we're the only unlucky ones.

The two brothers, both in dire straits, exchanged a glance.

Wuxie: Unhappy, dog-eye attack.

Black Bear: I'm unhappy and want to cause trouble.

The two unlucky guys unanimously focused their attention on Zhang Qiling, and grabbed him from both sides, pressing him down in front of Su Li.

"It's your turn, buddy..."

"It's your turn to be mute..."

Zhang Qiling: …

What are you forcing me to do? Don't I know who I am?

He glanced at the two strange people and then placed his hand on the spirit-testing plate.

Special Light Spirit Root

Spiritual Root Compatibility 100

Talent: Guardian

. . . . .

At once……

That's it?

The air suddenly went quiet, and five pairs of eyes turned to Su Li...

Su Li was dumbfounded. This... I have no idea either...

Su Yunqing, who was watching the children's spiritual root tests while drinking iced coffee outside the venue, spat out the beverage she had just taken a sip of...

Holy crap, these kids' spiritual root tests are getting more and more outrageous!!!

There's a saying in the cultivation world...

Light magic only appears in times of salvation!!! Damn it!!!

A protective talent, isn't it!

Zhang Qiling's entire life in the book embodies these two words.

Protecting the ultimate...

Protecting the Zhang family...

Protect your companions...

Even if you are hurt, betrayed, or imprisoned for experiments...

His persistent amnesia even faded his hatred; despite suffering the most, he seemed able to forgive everyone, like... a compassionate... god...

Light system...

is not it……

A savior god...

So that's how it is. Su Yunqing realized that Su Li had started frantically selling off bizarre creatures after entering the world of Daomu Biji.

If Su Li hadn't entered the world of Daomu Biji, and if the world consciousness of Daomu Biji hadn't had the opportunity to develop into a world focused on cultivation, given the increasing trend of this world towards increasingly bizarre and strange creatures...

Either this world will completely degenerate into a bizarre world, and Zhang Qiling will definitely lead the Zhang family to shoulder the responsibility of resisting the bizarre and protecting humanity...

Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will save the world...

Either the world's consciousness is just that stubborn, refusing to become a bizarre world, preferring to format and reboot itself...

However, Zhang Qiling, who had been repeatedly instilled with the idea that he must protect Him, would still risk everything and do everything in his power to save the world, even without knowing that the world's consciousness was self-destructing and restarting...

With the spiritual root of salvation and the talent of protection, what exactly is he in the eyes of the world's consciousness? Is he merely a puppet devoid of emotion, dedicated only to protecting Him?

That's why he was repeatedly given the power to lose his memory and emotions, and why the puppet he only needed to protect didn't need emotions, right?

Therefore, every time Zhang Qiling regains a little bit of his memory, his emotions begin to become richer, and he becomes more and more like a living 'person,' he is given, or more accurately, stripped of his memories and emotions by fate...

A puppet devoid of emotion, without memory, and filled only with responsibility...

Su Yunqing, who once genuinely loved the Tender Beef Wrap, almost broke down.

This damn world consciousness, where's my sword?!

If I can't take down the Heavenly Dao, then I can at least take down you, right?

Die, you bastard!!!
