Jiang He had never expected that one day, because his affinity with time was too high, the future he saw would be too clear, forcing him to actively "close his eyes"...
After all, it was just a B-rank specialty. He could not ask for too much.
He wandered around the school and, after finding Du Lingwei, used the specialty [Revelation of Time] on her, following Old Jiang's instructions.
What he wanted to see was—
[Future], [Quality of the Second Talent]
As countless broken images flashed past, Jiang He's spiritual power was instantly drained, and he came to know the 「Answer」.
[S-rank]
"What? S-rank?!"
Jiang He was stunned.
Whether it was White Crane's future or Old Jiang's future, Du Lingwei's second awakened talent had always been an A-rank talent.
Yet when he looked for himself, he directly saw an S-rank talent?
Why had such a change occurred?!
With his wealth of experience, Old Jiang gave an explanation: "Du Lingwei's innate talent constitution is already close to S-rank strength… and in this training camp, she has a high chance of obtaining the [True Spirit of Phoenix Egg]."
"Through the strengthening of an S-rank resource, her constitution will be stimulated, and her second talent will have a great chance of evolving into S-rank."
"…There's even such a method?"
Jiang He was shocked.
Did this not mean that it was possible to artificially create S-rank talent holders?!
But when Jiang He calmed down, he felt it was unrealistic.
Even if it were truly possible, it would still require an unawakened top A-rank talent as a prerequisite, along with foresight abilities as support…
With that much effort, why not just cultivate S-rank geniuses directly?
Compared to that, Jiang He cared more about another question.
"Can the future seen through foresight possibly be changed?"
This was the doubt every foresight ability holder would inevitably have.
Old Jiang gave the answer: "Of course."
"The future is not fixed. The answer obtained through [Revelation of Time] is only one among countless possibilities."
"In fact, if one's affinity with time is not high enough, the futures accessed may be too few, and the answer obtained may not even be the 'most probable possibility.'"
"Not to mention, the act of foresight itself is already changing the future."
Hearing Old Jiang's explanation, Jiang He let out a sigh of relief.
He really did not wish for a situation where he foresaw some disaster, or the death of a close friend, wanted to change it…
Only to discover that his foresight itself was part of the future, and nothing could be changed…
That would be far too painful.
In that case, he might as well not foresee anything at all!
After testing this mysterious time-based specialty, he returned to the [Diviner] profession itself.
As a B-rank Transcendent profession, it unlocked the "Tarot" skill tree, which was quite interesting.
Even its initial skill was extremely unique.
[Tarot Divination — Active Skill. Borrow the power of time to draw a Tarot card, unleashing a powerful effect depending on the card drawn and whether it is upright or reversed.]
To be honest, when Jiang He first saw this skill, he felt it resembled a "fate" skill more than a "time" skill.
It depended far too much on luck!
Drawing cards randomly, unleashing effects randomly…
How was one supposed to fight like that?
What if, in battle, he drew a card but did not get the effect he wanted?
But after trying it out, Jiang He discovered the actual result was nothing like he imagined.
Before he even used the skill and performed a 「Tarot Divination」, he had already manifested something akin to intuition.
He could clearly foresee what card he would draw, clearly foresee whether it was upright or reversed, and the specific effect. He did not need to rely on luck at all—he simply had to activate the skill.
This was not drawing cards.
This was cheating!
"A Prophet does not believe in fate—at least, the Prophet never did."
Old Jiang explained with a smile: "He created the [Diviner] profession essentially to hone his foresight abilities, to hone his perception of time…"
"In fact, by the time he became the Prophet, he was no longer merely 'divining' the future, but 'prophesying' the future."
"He could see through the future and could draw whichever Tarot card he wanted at any time."
Jiang He understood.
So as long as one was strong enough, one could merge all into one, using a single skill as if it were countless skills? The Prophet's imagination was truly rich…
But it tortured the other transfer candidates.
They had no time talent, no terrifying foresight abilities like the Prophet.
Thus, when they used this profession, it really was just pure gambling…
And the effects they gambled for often were not that great.
No wonder the Prophet path was so unpopular.
Fortunately, Jiang He was like the child of time itself. Even at E-rank, he could already foresee the Tarot card contents, so using them was not that difficult.
In fact, if he ever encountered an emergency and wanted to draw a specific Tarot card…
At worst, he could cast a "Luck" Spell Word on himself.
Max out luck, land the draw in one shot!
Within the Tarot skill tree, aside from the initial skill [Tarot Divination], the rest consisted of strengthening various Tarot card effects, granting new powers to the cards, or adding new Tarot cards as extra skills.
Because it was a "random draw," it essentially came with an innate negative condition, so its power was stronger than a simple Word-Spirit profession.
Jiang He quite liked this profession, so he spent two and a half days grinding the [Diviner] profession levels.
The difficulty of leveling Diviner was lower than Inspirer, but higher than Word Keeper.
In just two and a half days, Jiang He only managed to grind it to lv15.
By this time, the Twisted Time Domain had already lasted five days, and Yunyang had already been expelled.
In the entire school, only Jiang He and Du Lingwei remained.
He did not continue grinding Diviner levels but instead shifted his focus to the [Word Keeper] profession.
Inside the Twisted Time Domain, resources were infinite, and the spiritual blood provided by the Council was of C-rank quality!
Outside, its price was as high as 1000 yuan per gram!
If he did not seize this chance to reap the benefits, it would truly be a waste.
Thus, Jiang He furiously inscribed Spell Words.
In just two short days, he inscribed nearly 5000 Spell Words!
With the [Myriad Words] specialty in effect, the power of all Spell Words was increased by at least 20%, and the Word Keeper level skyrocketed to lv34!
It became Jiang He's highest-level profession at the moment!
By this time, Du Lingwei had also reached her limit and was expelled.
Jiang He, carrying the Phoenix-Resting Wooden Blade, moved to the Fire Spirit Chamber, where he began cultivating the [Fire Controller] and [Flame Envoy] professions.
Although the Flame Envoy's speed of generating Fire Seeds on its own was much slower than when provided by others, and it also consumed spiritual power…
With the storage chamber's infinite resources and Jiang He drinking spiritual tonics like sugar water, he still managed to maintain quite a decent cultivation pace.
In three days, the Fire Controller profession rose to lv18, while the Flame Envoy rose to lv11.
Counting Inspirer and Diviner, within ten days, Jiang He's total skill point gains reached 62!
When these skill points were converted into skill levels, and with the base attribute boosts from leveling up…
Jiang He's base energy level directly skyrocketed from 300 points to 486 points!
If his base attributes had not been so low, he might have directly reached the E-rank peak!
And it was at this moment that the Twisted Time Domain, which had lasted ten full days, finally collapsed.
