Chapter 440 — The Strongest Talent

Even the Boar God and Xuanming were taken aback at the sight of the Ginseng Baby. Though they could sense the vast energy within it, there was nothing particularly special about it.

What was Shi Jin up to?

Was he going to use his telepathy talent on it?

"Eek." The Ginseng Baby pouted at that moment. It had not expected to be summoned out only to find there would be no fighting at all, and could not help but keep registering its complaints.

Never mind, the Ginseng Baby sighed.

There would be chances to fight sooner or later; no rush. So Shi Jin wanted to fish first?

At this moment, seeing the gods' bewilderment, Shi Jin smiled faintly.

"Beast-taming talent is innate, yes, but it doesn't stay fixed once it's developed and refined."

"Talents differ in strength, but with proper development, even a narrowly focused one can shine brilliantly."

"The Martial Emperor, Donghuang's legendary beast tamer, began with an utterly unremarkable fusion talent—he could merge with only a single beast. But as he developed it, that fusion talent was pushed to extraordinary heights. He could merge with nine beasts at once, suppressing even demigods in combat."

"And as it happens, besides my ability to 'listen to the echoes of history,' I've also developed my telepathy talent in some other directions."

"So even telepathy may not be inferior in potential to talents like spatial enhancement."

"All things arise from the mind."

"Every existence is manifested by the mind."

"When telepathy is cultivated to its utmost, it becomes the use of mind-force. The psychic projection materialized from mind power—I call it the Mind Domain."

Having said this, Shi Jin slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness, within his mind, Shi Jin beheld a blue planet—Earth—and the giant tree thriving upon it.

[World Tree Domain]!

No.

Shi Jin's three mind domains each had their own distinct character.

The Yin-Yang Domain was the only one of the three that carried the voice of rules within it. Its effect rivaled a quasi-divine skill: it amplified the power of yin-yang skills, but at enormous cost, and it could suppress other forces besides.

The Azure Dragon Domain was not as absurd as the Yin-Yang Domain and contained no voice of rules, but it had many hidden advantages—it greatly reinforced the power of Chongchong's faith skills and sped up its ability to channel faith power.

As for the World Tree Domain, its effect was that plant-type lifeforms within its bounds

would be influenced by the domain's power, briefly fusing with the World Tree apparition. Their life force would undergo a qualitative transformation, and their wood-element power would surge.

This amplification would make every one of Ginseng Baby's skills—each already verging on the Dao—more likely to touch the level of rules. Compared to the legendary Blessing of the World Tree, this domain was less a blessing and more a bridge between the mortal world and the gods of heaven and earth. Shi Jin preferred to call it: the [Jianmu Domain].

BOOM!!

Shi Jin slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, his pupils turned pure emerald green, brimming with boundless vitality.

As Shi Jin activated the Mind Domain, the air around him began to hum and vibrate with a buzzing drone.

The air began to hum and vibrate with a buzzing drone.

Nearly materialized psychic waves formed green ripples around him.

Ripples.

In the next moment, as Shi Jin's Mind Eye rotated, a powerful wave burst forth from his body and, centered on him, rapidly

formed a domain that shrouded heaven and earth.

The entire world turned the green of new birth.

On the ground, at Ginseng Baby's feet, a seedling appeared and swiftly grew.

and swiftly grew.

Soon it had grown into a towering divine tree.

As the divine tree grew, it seemed to replicate countless Ginseng Babies. When its branches and leaves bloomed in full glory, on every branch and every trunk, each Ginseng Baby stood like fruit upon the divine tree.

upon the divine tree.

The myriad figures of Ginseng Baby left everyone dazed, unable to tell what was happening.

unable to tell what was happening.

What was this!

What was this!

"Could it be—" The World Tree clone's expression shifted. It sensed the power of the world emanating from above.

At this very moment, standing within the Jianmu Domain and perfectly fused with Jianmu, Ginseng Baby was like a mortal spirit ascending from the earth to the heavens, touching the realm of the gods.

Vast, profound power coursed through it. As the properties of sweetness, nutrients, and Time-Accumulation Fruit flowed through it as well, its low-tier skills—each already verging on the Dao—instantly touched the power of rules.

Though far from the might of a super-tier skill touching the power of rules, and unable to upgrade into a quasi-divine skill, it could still be called a minor divine skill.

Hmm!

A faint voice of rules still emanated from each Ginseng Baby.

As if an immortal elixir had emerged into the world, it instantly filled every non-mythic race present with an intense sense of oppression and temptation.

The eyes of countless transcendent lifeforms turned crimson in an instant, and they could not hold back the drool in their mouths.

"What is this———"

The legends of Shenfeng's mechanical lineage and the war gods of the Snowfield all wore expressions of shock.

Shenyuan Legend and Lin Shuo were also taken aback. Wait — aside from the Taiji and Azure Dragon domains, Shi Jin had developed yet another domain? Could this form be the result of the World Tree Fruit?! Many people widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at the ginseng baby fruits hanging one after another upon the divine tree.

"Buzz!!"

The sound of rules once again pervaded the air.

Like those deities, it emanated from the body itself. In that moment, the several beast tamers rated with eight-star talent were all struck dumb.

Their minds went blank, unable to comprehend why the telepathy talent would behave this way.

Ye Xing, Shen Ling, and the others whipped their heads toward Lu Heng.

They saw Lu Heng shaking his head frantically.

"I don't know."

The Gem Cat and Void Sandalwood both froze where they stood.

Wait — wasn't the sound of rules something only the embryonic form of a divine skill could stir?

Why was it emanating directly from the ginseng baby! In that moment, what drew the most attention was not the sound of rules the ginseng baby had triggered, but the alluring fragrance it exuded. At that lethal fluctuation, the transcendent beings gazing straight at it trembled from head to toe, their very genes crying out.

They felt that if they ate it, they could step into the realm of the divine.

Even the demigods in the void found it difficult, in that instant, to suppress the urge to devour every fruit on that tree. No — not just the demigods. As the Jianmu Domain merged and low-tier nourishing skills brushed against the power of rules,

Even the three deities who had just awakened could not help but have their bodies rumble, all of them revealing expressions of disbelief, for they actually felt that eating that ginseng baby would accelerate the recovery of their inner power.

"A god-tier resource." In that moment, the three deities reached the same judgment in unison, unable to believe that Shi Jue had somehow managed — by what means they could not fathom — to strengthen a ginseng baby until it rivaled a god-tier nourishing resource.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!!

The Jianmu Domain shrouded all of Inathera, and the ginseng baby's allure reached its absolute peak.

One living being after another found it hard to believe that their minds could be lost in an instant, seized by the urge to rush forward.

And what left everyone utterly incredulous was that one, two, three, four —

Across every corner of the island of Inathera, four more distinct sounds of rules rang out in succession, and the void quaked.

"How fragrant."

"Has a divine medicine come into the world?"
