Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Ye Tian accepted the mission to the Desolate Realm with full confidence. In the situation where the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm couldn’t take action, even if he faced an overpowering Universal God, he might not win but he could still ensure his survival.

“Death Flower Queen had long since reached the Planetary System level, and with my ample resource supply, she was close to the peak of the Planetary System level. A Death Flower Queen at this level could nurture a vast sea of death flowers.

If I transferred the damage, I could withstand the attacks of a Universal God without dying!” Ye Tian thought.

It was precisely because he had such a trump card that he dared to enter the Desolate Realm. Otherwise, in a place full of Innate Deities, he couldn’t hope for any support from the Supreme Hall of Humanity. Without a trump card, he wouldn’t have dared to go in.

Subsequently, Ye Tian accepted the mission and obtained the specific details of the Desolate Realm mission.

The main task in the Desolate Realm mission was to collect a material called Zichen Wood. Zichen Wood was a type of wood found only in the Desolate Realm, the core wood of the Zichen Tree. It was rare even within the Desolate Realm.

As for the use of Zichen Wood, the mission details didn’t specify.

Additionally, everyone entering the Desolate Realm had to wear a bracelet. Once activated, the bracelet could help the wearer leave the Desolate Realm.

Otherwise, leaving the Desolate Realm would be extremely difficult.

Opening a spatial passage was very dangerous because if the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm discovered it, they could ambush with many powerful beings, causing heavy losses to the human race.

Therefore, the human race only used special methods to send people into the Desolate Realm and then used the bracelets to leave.

Ye Tian also learned from the mission details that not only would the Divine Blade Alliance send people into the Desolate Realm, but several large cosmic clans would also send their members.

Thus, the human race would face threats not only from the native beings of the Desolate Realm but also from other large cosmic clans.

This mission was extremely perilous, but the rewards were so enticing that many were drawn to participate.

After accepting the mission, Ye Tian awaited the start of the Desolate Realm mission.

Although the Divine Blade Alliance had issued the mission, there was still some time before it began.

As for the exact start time, the Divine Blade Alliance hadn’t provided a specific notification, only mentioning it would start soon.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Divine Blade Alliance issued a notification that the Desolate Realm mission had begun.

At the Divine Blade Alliance Headquarters

Divine Blade Supreme listened as a subordinate reported the situation.

“Lord Divine Blade Supreme, a message from the Tianlan Branch of the Divine Blade Alliance states that the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws has taken the Desolate Realm mission.”

The subordinate reported.

“The True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws has taken the Desolate Realm mission!!!”

Divine Blade Supreme frowned.

Kunwu Supreme had asked him to look after the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws. However, with Ye Tian taking the Desolate Realm mission, once he entered the Desolate Realm, he couldn’t protect Ye Tian.

If anything happened to Ye Tian in the Desolate Realm, he wouldn’t be able to help.

Immediately, Divine Blade Supreme contacted Kunwu Supreme and informed him about Ye Tian’s situation.

The two then discussed Ye Tian’s case.

In the end, they decided to let Ye Tian enter the Desolate Realm.

After all, Ye Tian would go to many places in the future where they couldn’t intervene. They couldn’t stop him every time; otherwise, how would Ye Tian grow and train? They couldn’t treat him like a vase and hinder his growth.

Therefore, they wouldn’t interfere with Ye Tian’s actions.

At the Tianlan Branch

Ye Tian boarded a spaceship of the Divine Blade Alliance and arrived at the headquarters. There, along with other Planetary System and Galaxy level powerhouses who had taken the Desolate Realm mission, he boarded a Divine Blade Battleship bound for the Desolate Realm.

The Divine Blade Battleship wasn’t an ordinary warship. Its combat capabilities were comparable to those of a Dominator. It was one of the Divine Blade Alliance’s trump cards, which they deployed for this mission.

This showed how seriously the Divine Blade Alliance took this mission.

Inside a cabin of the Divine Blade Battleship.

Ye Tian was resting with his eyes closed when a figure suddenly appeared before him.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the person in front of him and respectfully said, “Greetings, Divine Blade Supreme!”

However, the person before him was not the true body of Divine Blade Supreme but an avatar.

“Ye Tian, you are quite daring to have accepted this mission. Others take on missions as a gamble, but you don’t need to do that,” Divine Blade Supreme said.

“Are you advising me not to participate in this mission?” Ye Tian asked.

“Not at all,” Divine Blade Supreme shook his head. “If I were advising you against it, I would have done so long ago, not waited until you were on your way to the Desolate Realm. I’m here to remind you that the Desolate Realm is not simple. Be cautious once you enter.”

Ye Tian quickly asked, “Could you tell me more about the Desolate Realm?”

Divine Blade Supreme smiled and said, “I intended to. The mission briefing only covers a small part of the Desolate Realm’s situation. For instance, you probably don’t know the use of Zichen Wood. We only recently discovered its true purpose.

Zichen Wood can house souls, ensuring they remain undying and providing a chance for resurrection. For example, if a Universal God places a strand of their true soul within Zichen Wood, even if their main body falls, that soul strand would persist in the Zichen Wood, making resurrection easier. Without Zichen Wood, the cost of reviving a fallen Universal God would be immense, possibly even costing the life of a Supreme who controls time and space.

Zichen Wood comes in different grades: ordinary Zichen Wood can preserve a Universal God’s soul; top-grade Zichen Wood can preserve a Dominator’s soul; and gold-patterned Zichen Wood can preserve a Supreme’s soul.

Now you understand how precious Zichen Wood is.”

“Zichen Wood has such a function!” Ye Tian exclaimed in shock.

“Not just that,” Divine Blade Supreme continued. “Ground into powder and mixed with certain materials, Zichen Wood can be used to make elixirs that enhance soul power. A small amount can also heal soul injuries.”

“Divine Blade Supreme, since Zichen Wood is so valuable, wouldn’t the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm control it?” Ye Tian asked curiously.

“Haha, the Innate Deities of the Desolate Realm don’t need Zichen Wood. The Desolate Realm is unique, and so are its Innate Deities. Their souls are already integrated into the essence of the Desolate Realm itself. As long as the Desolate Realm exists, these Innate Deities are immortal.

Thus, they have no need for Zichen Wood. Only the races they create require it, which is why obtaining Zichen Wood can be challenging,” Divine Blade Supreme explained.

“I see!” Ye Tian said, enlightened.
