Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Lein shook his head slightly. "This guy…" he muttered softly, a faint smile crossing his face, reflecting both admiration and exasperation at Hanes's occasionally over-the-top tendencies.

After Hanes and Lyra left, Lein turned his attention to Aurora and the old man standing not far from him. Both appeared to be preparing for their own farewells.

"Master Lein, we will also be leaving. Don't forget to visit the Cryon Realm," said Aurora, a graceful woman with a hopeful expression.

There was sincerity in her voice, indicating her desire to deepen their cooperative relationship. However, her duties called—she needed to ensure her realm's safety and stability.

"Of course," Lein replied firmly, his eyes reflecting resolve. He knew that exploring the Cosmos Origin would be the next step after resolving the issues in the Divine Sky Realm.

"I must also bid farewell, Master Lein. Please stop by if you have the time," said the old man politely. His voice was steady, a testament to his long experience as a guardian of his realm.

Lein nodded slightly, then raised his hand. Two black swords, identical to those given to Hanes and Lyra, materialized in the air, radiating a captivating dark glow. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net

Without much ceremony, he handed the swords to Aurora and the old man.

Aurora received the sword with slightly trembling hands, her eyes filled with deep gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Master Lein. This sword… it's extraordinary," she murmured, gently running her hand along the blade.

The old man, though calmer, nodded respectfully and said, "I don't know how to repay such a gift. Thank you, Master Lein."

"No need to repay me. Go now, and take care of yourselves," Lein replied, his voice calm but full of meaning.

A few moments later, Aurora and the old man summoned their respective ships. Although smaller than Hanes's, their ships still exuded power and efficiency.

Aurora's ship had sleek curves with glowing blue patterns, while the old man's ship appeared sturdier, with a simple yet robust design.

They boarded their ships, and after brief preparations, both disappeared from Lein's sight.

Now, Lein stood alone amidst the void of space. Silence surrounded him, broken only by the faint light of distant stars and the gentle flow of cosmic energy moving around him.

"I've come this far," he murmured softly, his voice nearly drowned by the profound silence. Lein gazed at the cosmos with a reflective expression.

In less than a year, he had surpassed limits he never imagined possible. What a crazy journey this has been, he thought, a faint smile forming on his lips—a mix of pride and disbelief.

"Without my help, humanity might only be able to reach Tier-3," he said as he summoned his status panel. A bluish-green light appeared before him, forming a series of numbers so extraordinary they were hard to believe.

His attribute values now exceeded 5 million in total—each major attribute boasted over 1 million points individually. The panel not only recorded his strength but also affirmed the results of his relentless effort and extraordinary luck.

The items he possessed were a collection of high-tier artifacts, things he could release to help humanity at any time. However, two items stood out most to him: the Talent Crystal and the God Promotion Elixir.

These two items weren't just valuable; they had the potential to change humanity's destiny.

Lein took the Talent Crystal out of his spatial ring, the item shimmering like a tiny star in his hand. He carefully examined the crystal's description:

(Talent Crystal):

A rare item that grants the opportunity to acquire or enhance talents. If the user already has a talent, the existing talent will be upgraded.

- Success rate: 25%.

Lein smiled faintly. "With this Talent Crystal, humanity can possess better talents, and their progress will surpass that of other races that have existed in the universe for eons."

He then turned his gaze toward a small bottle glowing with golden light: the God Promotion Elixir.

"With this elixir," he whispered, "even an ordinary human can ascend directly to the Emperor level. Imagine the impact.

Even talented beings would struggle to match the power granted by this elixir." Lein held the bottle carefully before storing it away again.

After observing his status panel for a moment, his attention shifted to the talent he was most proud of:

(Infinity Duplicate - Version 2)

- Rank: SSS

- Duplicate 1 item into 10,000

- Cooldown: 30 minutes

"Thank you so much," Lein said sincerely, his gratitude stemming from the fact that this talent had made him who he was today.

Just as he was about to close the panel, a thought crossed his mind. He retrieved the star-shaped Talent Crystal, which shimmered like a miniature galaxy in his hand.

"I wonder," he said, smiling with anticipation, "what would happen if I upgraded the Infinity Duplicate talent to the next level?"

Without hesitation, he selected an option on the panel:

[Would you like to use the Talent Crystal? Yes/No]

"Yes." His voice was firm, devoid of any doubt.

The crystal in his hand began to levitate, emitting a soft glow as it spun slowly. The rotation grew faster, transforming into a spinning crystal sphere that radiated a brilliant light.

Lein stood still, his eyes fixed on the crystal. A silvery light enveloped the void around him, as though the entire universe had paused to focus on this moment.

[Successfully used Talent Crystal…]

[Failed to acquire a new talent…]

[Upgrading talent (Infinity Duplicate - SSS - Version 2)...]

20%...45%...80%...

Lein watched the progress bar with bated breath. His gaze was intense and unblinking, like a scientist monitoring the most critical experiment of his life. Seconds passed, filled with an almost unbearable tension. The stillness around Lein mirrored the anxiety hanging in the air.

99%...100%

[Upgrade successful… Please select an upgrade path]

Increase duplication quantity tenfold 10% chance to enhance item quality Reduce cooldown by 25%

Lein stared at the options, his mouth slightly open, nearly in disbelief. "What? There's an upgrade path?" he exclaimed, his voice echoing through the empty void.

His gaze shifted rapidly between the options, trying to grasp the immense value of each choice.
