Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

After repeatedly evading the Innate Deities’ searches, Ye Tian had no concerns.

Moreover, he frequently used his Desolation Mark talent, becoming increasingly adept at it. He could even temporarily block the Desolate Realm power lock of the Innate Deities.

Thus, unless the Innate Deities expended significant resources to find him, they would have a hard time locating him through ordinary means.

After all, Ye Tian possessed too many talents. With his disguise talent and various soul secret techniques to alter his soul aura, it was exceedingly difficult to pinpoint his location.

One day, Ye Tian prepared to head towards the center of the Desolate Realm. He didn’t intend to seize the Zichen Wood there.

That area was the territory of the Desolate Demons, and attempting to seize the Zichen Wood there would be akin to courting death.

The reason Ye Tian decided to go there was due to a certain opportunity.

Not long ago, he had infiltrated an upper clan of the Desolate Realm and learned a secret from a Universal God within that clan. This secret intrigued him greatly.

Of course, a more significant reason was that he found it increasingly difficult to obtain the Zichen Wood.

Perhaps because he had taken too much Zichen Wood, and the Innate Deities couldn’t catch him, they had laid terrifying formations within their created clans. These formations protected the Zichen Wood, preventing him from accessing it.

Thus, even if he broke into a Desolate Realm clan now, he wouldn’t be able to steal any Zichen Wood.

If he wanted to obtain Zichen Wood, he could only look for ownerless Zichen Wood in the wild, but such searches were extremely challenging.

After careful consideration, he realized he already had enough Zichen Wood and didn’t need to take more. Therefore, there was no need to risk seizing it further.

Comparatively, he was more interested in acquiring other opportunities.

And now, he knew of one such opportunity.

“According to that Universal God, there is a Desolate Tower at the center of the Desolate Realm.

The Desolate Tower is extremely mysterious, existing even before the birth of the Innate Deities in the Desolate Realm.

The reason so many Supremes have emerged from the Desolate Realm is closely related to the Desolate Tower!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

Previously, he had been puzzled as to why such a small place like the Desolate Realm could give birth to so many Supremes and Dominators.

In the outside world, there were many Innate Deities, far more than in the Desolate Realm, but it was very difficult for an Innate Deity in the outside world to become a Supreme. Even if they had the talent, most could only reach the Heavenly Venerable level. To become a Supreme, one had to maintain the combat power of a Supreme Prince at the peak of the Great God level.

This standard was too high. In one era, only a few Supremes might emerge, and a large cosmic race might not even produce one Supreme in an era.

For example, in the Human race, in Ye Tian’s era, aside from him, others were relatively ordinary and couldn’t produce a Supreme Prince. The Immortal Race only produced one or two Supreme Princes, and the Demon race was likely similar.

But the Desolate Realm was abnormally different. Almost every Innate Deity could grow to the Dominator realm, and once they reached the Heavenly Venerable realm, they were certain to become Supremes. This was terrifying! While the Desolate Realm had many resources, becoming a Supreme was not just about resources. If it were, the Immortal and Demon races would have Supremes everywhere.

Heritage, talent, resources, opportunities, and luck were all indispensable.

Obviously, the Desolate Realm possessed all these conditions.

Moreover, it was said that the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm rarely left, remaining in such a small place. How could they break through to become Supremes?

Ye Tian now had a hypothesis: “The Desolate Tower is an extremely important place in the Desolate Realm, but unfortunately, even the upper clans don’t have the right to enter it or even approach it.

Only Innate Deities and Desolate Demons can enter the Desolate Tower.”

This was the information Ye Tian had obtained.

As for why only the Desolate Demons were allowed to enter the Desolate Tower and not the other upper clans, even that Universal God didn’t know. He was also jealous of the Desolate Demon Race.

However, this rule was established by the Innate Deities, and if any other upper clan approached the Desolate Tower without permission, they would face certain death.

Once, an extremely powerful Universal God ventured into the Desolate Tower area and was immediately killed by an Innate Deity.

Ye Tian speculated that entering the Desolate Tower required certain conditions. Otherwise, the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm wouldn’t be so selfish as to allow only the Desolate Demons to enter.

After all, each Desolate Realm race was created by the Innate Deities. How could those deities not care about their own races?

“Unless those upper or lower clans couldn’t enter the Desolate Tower, or entering it would be useless, and only the Desolate Demons met the conditions to enter,” Ye Tian thought.

The only difference between the Desolate Demons and other upper clans was their Desolation Mark talent.

Desolate Demons could mobilize the power of the Desolate Realm. If that was the reason, then Ye Tian could also enter the Desolate Tower because he also possessed the Desolation Mark talent and could mobilize the Desolate Realm’s power.

“The Desolate Tower is so important. If I were to enter it without permission, the Innate Deities might refrain from attacking me due to their agreements with the external Supremes, but the terrifying Universal Gods of the Desolate Demon Race would definitely attack me,” Ye Tian pondered.

Thus, he devised a plan to disguise himself as a member of the Desolate Demon Race to enter the Desolate Tower.

Of course, merely disguising himself as any Desolate Demon would definitely be detected.

The number of Desolate Demons wasn’t large, making them easy to identify. If an unfamiliar Desolate Demon appeared, they would undoubtedly become a subject of scrutiny.

No matter how strong Ye Tian’s disguise abilities were, he would still be discovered. Therefore, he needed to replace a specific Planetary System-level Desolate Demon, and in the process, gather more information from them to avoid any mistakes.

In the center of the Desolate Realm, within the territory of the Desolate Demons, Ye Tian disguised himself and arrived there. He constantly activated his Desolation Mark talent to avoid detection by the Innate Deities.

It seemed that the Innate Deities no longer paid attention to him, making him feel quite safe now.

Time passed slowly as Ye Tian cautiously searched for traces of the Desolate Demons.

His target was only a Planetary System-level Desolate Demon. Whenever he sensed the presence of other powerful Desolate Demons, he immediately distanced himself.

Under such circumstances, finding a suitable target wasn’t easy.

He had to wait patiently, never allowing himself to become anxious.

During this period, other external powerhouses within the Desolate Realm either managed to seize the Zichen Wood and leave the realm quickly, not daring to linger, or were killed by the powerful beings of the Desolate Realm, forever remaining there.

Statistically, most of the external powerhouses perished in the Desolate Realm. The majority of the Human race’s Planetary System-level and Galaxy-level powerhouses met the same fate.

There was no help for it. Once the Innate Deities discovered these external powerhouses, they easily dispatched Universal Gods to slaughter the Planetary System-level individuals. These Planetary System-level and Galaxy-level beings didn’t possess Ye Tian’s strength and naturally couldn’t survive.

However, a small number of Planetary System-level and Galaxy-level individuals who entered the Desolate Realm this time managed to obtain the Zichen Wood.

Months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ye Tian finally found a suitable target!
