Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1386 - 31: The Temptation of the Power of Saint (2)

As soon as he entered headquarters, the Full-time Expert called Xiao Jie to the top floor office.

He shut the door, isolating them from the outside noise.

The Full-time Expert turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at Xiao Jie: "So, you’re also one of the ’Heavenly Destiny People’?"

"That’s right." Xiao Jie admitted frankly.

"Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"

"You never asked." Xiao Jie shrugged.

The Full-time Expert looked speechless: "...So the ’Oath of Divine Punishment’ is completely ineffective for you, right?"

"Not entirely ineffective." Xiao Jie chuckled, "At least we must follow the formalities. However, it seems the Heavenly Dao is lenient towards us ’Heavenly Destiny’, the punishment mechanism is different."

"Damn, you really know how to conceal things." The Full-time Expert shook his head, but then a smile appeared on his face, "But it’s actually good, you ended up helping me a lot. Otherwise, this time, that kid Emperor Shitian might have taken all the control away."

Saving the world is obviously important, but who saves it makes a big difference.

We’ve all left our homes and businesses to come to this ghost place to hustle; if we’re just here to accompany the run, we’ve wasted our trip.

We might as well stay in our own parallel worlds waiting for others to save the world.

Since we’re here, we better grasp the fruits of victory ourselves.

As he spoke, he walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside Embers City with a contemplative expression: "For the upcoming matters... what are your thoughts?"

Xiao Jie walked over to face him, speaking earnestly: "It’s simple. With three Daluo NPCs providing advanced experience, the path from Earth Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal won’t be a problem—at least theoretically, it’s achievable. Next is grinding monsters, grinding equipment, and raising level boundaries. In this aspect, Iron Blood should be the most professional."

He paused, continuing the analysis: "In the end, to save the world, to defeat the Demon Lord, and to seize the Saint Fragments, it relies on true team strength, hard strength. If our Iron Blood Immortal Alliance can first gather enough Daluo Golden Immortals and secure the first kill of the Demon Lord, this ’salvation achievement’ will still be ours. Emperor Shitian... just paved the way, blocked knives, and served as a stepping stone for us."

The Full-time Expert nodded but then frowned: "Your approach is correct. But... how exactly can the Saint Fragments be ’obtained’ from the Demon Lord? That level of existence, even when defeated, how do you peel the fragments off?"

"Heavenly Dao Power." Xiao Jie spoke frankly, "That is where the true value of ’Heavenly Destiny People’ lies. We possess the ability of ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ to gain temporary law authority beyond the ordinary, even able to ’converse’ with Saint-level beings. Therefore, at the moment the Demon Lord is defeated, we can use the ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state to peel off and extract the ’Saint Fragments’ within its body."

"According to Tongtian Taoist, it requires a total of six fragments to combine the complete ’Power of Saint’. Then with this Power of Saint, triggering the three Innate Treasures, the universe can truly be ’Remade’."

The Full-time Expert pondered: "Then... wouldn’t the person using the Power of Saint be influenced by it and ’incarnate as Taiyi’? Back in the Sky Tower, Tongtian Taoist mentioned the reason Saints incarnated as Demon Lords was due to their ’innate human nature’, uncontrollable even by Saints; mortals obtaining the Power of Saint would be in danger..."

Xiao Jie nodded: "That’s indeed a problem. But I’ve already found a potential solution."

He took a deep breath: "Heavenly Destiny People in the ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state will peel away human nature—entering a mode of absolute rationality, absolute objectivity, devoid of any emotions. Theoretically, using the Power of Saint in this state prevents influence from the Saint’s human nature, avoiding incarnation as Taiyi."

The Full-time Expert’s eyes brightened: "Wait, how long does your ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ power last? And what’s the cooldown time?"

Xiao Jie, subconsciously looked at his Skill Panel.

Unity of Heaven and Man (Special Talent)

Current State: Cooldown

Remaining Cooldown Time: 69 hours, 23 minutes, 18 seconds

He was suddenly stunned.

That’s not right... Previously, the cooldown was clearly seven days. Now why has it become 69 hours? Considering the time spent (around 3 hours) returning from the Nine Heavens Divine Court to Embers City, the original cooldown should be around 72 hours, which is—three days.

So it seems... advancing from True Immortal to Earth Immortal also shortened the cooldown of Unity of Heaven and Man!

No wonder Emperor Shitian could use Unity of Heaven and Man twice in a day—he, being a Heavenly Immortal, should have a shorter cooldown. Possibly... only 24 hours, or even less.

Xiao Jie didn’t hide it, speaking of this discovery.

The Full-time Expert’s eyes twinkled with keen insight, suddenly standing: "Does that mean... becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal would allow unlimited use of Unity of Heaven and Man? The cooldown time approaches zero?"

Xiao Jie was startled, then gasped.

He immediately realized the implication behind the Full-time Expert’s words.

If "Unity of Heaven and Man" could be used without limitations...

Wouldn’t that mean one could directly "Devour" the Power of Saint, maintaining, even permanently, the Unity of Heaven and Man state?

As long as the Unity of Heaven and Man state is maintained, one wouldn’t be influenced by the Saint’s human nature, avoiding incarnation as Taiyi.

Becoming a... "Heavenly Dao Saint"!
