All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents
Chapter 470 - 242: Nemesis (3)Lu Cang closed Saint One's eyes.
"I suppose I didn't lie to you, Saint One. This was, in fact, your Trial."
"If you had actually managed to kill me, you would have truly regained your Reincarnation."
"That was the greatest concession I could make. After that, like a lion hunting a rabbit, I used my full strength."
"It's just a pity... you didn't have the strength to pass this Trial."
...
Lu Cang stored Saint One's body in his Storage Space and blew away all the mist in the room.
With a thought.
A small, spectral child glowing with a ghostly green light appeared beside Lu Cang.
This was Saint One's Undead.
Level 6 Scholar/Level 6 Mage/Level 6 Mechanician.
A Reincarnator of eight lifetimes.
'Now, all my worries are finally gone... From this day forward, there's no one left in the world who can kill me directly.'
Lu Cang assessed the abilities Saint One had possessed.
In this life, Saint One's Talent was quite ordinary—just an Outstanding Level Talent, the Scholar's "Sea of Mind."
Unfortunately, the Scholar Profession requires independent thought.
Now that he was dead, Saint One could no longer think independently, so the Profession was only useful for a few support abilities.
'Ordinary, High Level, Extraordinary, Outstanding, Supreme, God.'
'Outstanding is merely Tier Four.'
In truth, his most valuable asset wasn't his current Professional Abilities, but the memories he'd accumulated over his many lives.
Now that Saint One was dead, his past memories were buried with him.
...
Next, Lu Cang began to search the Storage Bag on Saint One's body.
Saint One carried a vast number of life-saving items.
There was the Holy Protection Ring, equivalent to the protection of a Level 7 Defender; the Ring of Non-Existence in This World, which could shift him into another spatial state; the Magic Saint Shield, capable of neutralizing magical attacks...
The sheer number of life-saving items was almost dizzying to Lu Cang.
Even during Lu Cang's surprise attack, Saint One still had many life-saving items he hadn't used. 'Now that he can't Reincarnate, it seems he truly cherished this life.'
'He had even more contingencies than I'd imagined.'
'I didn't even see them all in my simulations.'
'But now, all of these life-saving items are mine.'
As he searched, Lu Cang eventually pulled out a letter.
"This letter is for the one who kills me."
"I have lost my Reincarnation. If someone else is reading this, it must mean that I am dead."
"In truth, ever since I first obtained Reincarnation, I have considered my own end."
"They say that becoming a Reincarnator means achieving eternity, sharing in the world's indestructibility. But in truth, looking through the history of Reincarnation, not one person has ever truly been eternal. Reincarnators are replaced from one generation to the next, and I have never heard of anyone who could Reincarnate for long in this world."
"Perhaps this is the Destiny of a Reincarnator: to be fated to lose Reincarnation in the end."
"If that day truly comes, should I abandon my obsession with Reincarnation and cling to eternity in this life instead?"
"If you are reading this letter, then no matter which path I chose, I have ultimately failed. To be killed by another Reincarnator... I suppose that was my destined end."
"I don't know if you are a Reincarnator like me."
"But if you are, I hope you will not follow in my footsteps. My grand ambition is now a distant dream, but you are still on your path forward."
"I was only one final step away from proving the complete Profession progression chain."
"The relevant records are in another book within this Storage Bag..."
"Although you killed me, there is little to complain about when one fails in a struggle over a fated opportunity. After all, I have killed countless people just like myself."
"But it would be a shame for the fruits of my eight lifetimes of research to be lost just like this."
"The code of the Reincarnation Sect recognizes only Reincarnators."
"If you take my body to the Reincarnation Sect and declare your status as a Reincarnator, you should be able to become the new master of the Reincarnation Sect."
"All the research I've left behind is in the forbidden area of the headquarters in the Land of the Moon. If you have the authority of the Sect Leader, you will naturally be able to access it..."
"Oh, and a word of advice: if you can avoid becoming a god, don't. Power without freedom is meaningless."
"Alas... I still failed to achieve immortality in the end. Immortality was but a dream in my short-lived Reincarnations."
"I finally realize that the path of Reincarnation is not true immortality."
The letter ended there.
"Immortality... Who doesn't want to live forever?"
"But that feels like an idea straight out of a fantasy world. To think there are people like that in this world, too."
'Perhaps there are quite a few.'
'An Zheng probably wants immortality, too.'
The closer one approaches the end of one's life, the more one feels the pressure of time and the limits of life.
The more extraordinary one becomes, and the more magnificent sights one witnesses in a lifetime, the more one desires a longer life.
'The wealthy from my previous life all wanted to live longer...'
Qin Shi Huang also sought immortality. Now, Lu Cang could increasingly empathize with their mindset.
WHOOSH—
In a flash, Lu Cang appeared outside the hall of Reincarnation.
He gazed toward the distant Sea of Trees.
'I made so many preparations to kill Saint One, and not just the ones that succeeded.'
'I even had many useless backup plans.'
'Even if he hadn't entered the Second Reincarnation Sanctuary, I would have sealed off the entire Dungeon, making it impossible for him to teleport away.'
'Even if Saint One had been unwilling to switch back to his original body, his mechanical body was still laced with a special poison that, at a critical moment, would have caused its materials to lose their original properties, rendering them extremely fragile and easily destroyed.'
'And all over this area, I had left my Magic Arrays, set up my Restrictions, prepared poisonous plague gas, and buried corpses everywhere.'
'Even if the most straightforward plan had failed, I had nearly ten other contingencies.'
...
"Saint One, you can't complain about your death."
Lu Cang glanced back as a Restriction sealed the Dungeon's entrance, making it inaccessible from the outside.
Lu Cang looked at the Sea of Trees before him.
'That successor of Zuya's from the Light Church might have killed these Tier Seven Demons alone.'
'Fine then...'
'I should try killing a Tier Seven Demon myself. Let's see how I measure up.'
'While I'm at it, I can see if this is a chance to evolve Ant Mountain to Tier Six... If I have more souls, I'll have more trump cards when it's time to explore that ruin.'
'Besides, with so many Tier Seven Demons here...'
'I can finally add a Tier Seven Undead to my ranks...'
'Beyond that, once I leave, I'll see if Saint One's final words were true. If so, I'll have an opportunity to absorb the Reincarnation Sect.'
'I might even be able to take control of the "Celestial Base Saint Sky City."'
Lu Cang was quite fixated on this ultimate superweapon, which was capable of killing even him in a single shot.
WHOOSH—
In an instant, Lu Cang was approaching a giant tree!
Two Undead flanked Lu Cang: the Observer and Saint One.
The Observer provided Lu Cang with an expansive field of vision, allowing him to perceive the tree in its entirety.
This was a colossal tree, a full seven thousand kilometers tall with a radius of one thousand kilometers... an ultimate giant tree.
