Chapter 1197: Is This Something a Human Can Do?
Chapter 1197: Is This Something a Human Can Do?
"Wait!"
"Wang Ye, wait!"
The crisp voice came from behind, and Wang Ye quickened his pace.
Wait a minute!
Wang Ye suddenly realized.
This is the Talent Garden, the encampment of the Human Great Clan Alliance!
He hadn't even started to sow any seeds, so where would any romantic debts come from?
Lan Diewu and Lan Yingti, the two sisters, hadn't started breaking new ground either!
"Hey, I mean no harm!" Zuo Qinqin blocked Wang Ye's path and introduced herself, "I am Zuo Qinqin, ranked fourth in the Talent Garden, right above you!"
The one above me?
Wang Ye raised an eyebrow.
If you're talking about this, I'm not sleepy anymore.
"So, you want to challenge me to prove you have the strength of the fifth rank?" Wang Ye said.
Zuo Qinqin: ?
"No, I wanted to ask if you're interested—" Zuo Qinqin asked.
"Not interested." Wang Ye interrupted her and turned to leave.
A woman's interest generally isn't something that would pique a man's interest.
Zuo Qinqin stomped her foot, "Hey, just let me finish! I was asking if you'd be interested in joining us to execute a mission in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm!"
Watching Wang Ye's figure disappearing into the distance, Zuo Qinqin bit her lower lip, seething with frustration.
"Just a high-grade potential talent, acting all high and mighty!" Zuo Qinqin left grumpily after facing rejection.
...
The Earthly Branch Chaos Realm?
Execute a mission?
Wang Ye had walked away, but he had heard Zuo Qinqin's words loud and clear.
However, unsolicited kindness seldom heralds good news.
Moreover, join?
Follow someone else's commands?
Couldn't he just form his own team?
"The Earthly Branch Chaos Realm..." Wang Ye had heard of it before.
His entangled fate with the Qionghua Divine had begun there.
Although opportunities existed, the massive influx of Chaos Gods meant fierce competition.
Even the Qionghua Divine had been severely injured, so he had gradually dismissed the idea.
Especially after joining the Talent Garden, superior resources were available for cultivating, rapidly enhancing his strength.
As of now, he actually had the capability to vie for opportunities in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm.
The key point was whether he wanted to go.
"If I remember correctly, exploring the secrets of the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm starts at 10,000 contribution points."
"Finding a Divine Core is 50,000 contribution points."
"A Rare Divine Core is 500,000 contribution points."
Wang Ye had reviewed all the missions in the Talent Garden Yan Yu.
The Earthly Branch Chaos Realm was still somewhat memorable.
His initial assessment was that it was neither here nor there.
He wanted to achieve his goals in one fell swoop, but even finding a Rare Divine Core in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm would only yield 500,000 contribution points, still half the distance from his target of 1 million points.
This was somewhat uncomfortable.
It was like wanting both sisters, Lan Diewu and Lan Yingti, but ending up with only one.
"However, it seems something has changed?" Wang Ye thought, recalling Zuo Qinqin's earnest looking solicitation.
"I'll go find Lan Yingti for more information."
...
Divine Skill Valley.
Though it's called a valley, it's actually an endless wasteland, above which are various large stones of different sizes and heights.
On the rocks are various different marks, inscriptions, and even recorded texts.
These are precious 'notes' left by the geniuses of the Talent Garden during the process of creating divine skills, reflecting their epiphanies.
Wang Ye looked at Lan Yingti from afar.
Delicate and graceful, appearing frail and vulnerable, she was gesturing at a stone, imbuing it with special profound intent techniques.
Focused, serious, meticulous.
The usually unconfident Lan Yingti was radiating a dazzling brilliance at that moment.
"She's living somewhat in her sister's shadow," Wang Ye understood.
Anyone with such an outstanding sister would be overshadowed.
Not to mention Lan Yingti herself, who severely lacked confidence.
But her talent was actually higher than her sister's.
The potential test in the Talent Garden was proof enough.
After a while.
"Ah?" Lan Yingti suddenly noticed Wang Ye, becoming somewhat flustered and awkward, "You, you're back, Brother Ye."
"You look like you've done something guilty," Wang Ye said with a smile as he walked over. "You don't have to heed what others say; just do what you think is right."
"Nobody knows you better than yourself."
He had indeed advised Lan Yingti before, who was closer to the Chaos Gods in spirit, making it easy for her to achieve breakthroughs and win rewards.
On the other hand, creating a divine skill isn't a matter of overnight effort and should not be rushed.
But Lan Yingti was very talented and perceptive.
"No, it's not like that." Lan Yingti explained softly, "The divine skill I created combines the Path of Willpower, like, if I can succeed, my willpower could break through to become a Chaos God..."
Wang Ye suddenly understood and smiled, "That sounds great, keep it up!"
"Yes..." Lan Yingti obediently responded, then suddenly remembered, "Brother Ye, when did you get back?"
"Just got back," Wang Ye smiled.
"Did you comprehend the Tribulation Body Path?" Lan Yingti asked quickly.
"Of course," Wang Ye replied.
"This, this quickly?" Lan Yingti's eyes widened, her mouth agape in surprise, "You're so amazing, Brother Ye!"
Find your next adventure on empire
This was the legendary Chaos Earth Extreme Path!
To comprehend it in less than a hundred years?
Brother Ye's perceptiveness was incredibly exaggerated!
"It's okay, just a mere Chaos Earth Extreme Path," Wang Ye didn't explain much, "By the way, has Yu Hang and the others come back yet, what exactly happened in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm?"
"They returned empty-handed..." Lan Yingti then relayed what she knew in detail.
Wang Ye listened intently.
When he heard about the increased rewards at the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm, his eyes lit up.
"Hold on." Wang Ye contacted Yan Yu of the Talent Garden through his consciousness, then entered an independent cosmic space.
A row sweep revealed changes in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm.
"Explore the secrets of the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm, 30,000 contribution points!"
"Obtain a Divine Core, 100,000 contribution points!"
"Obtain a Rare Divine Core, 1,000,000 contribution points!"
...
Wang Ye's heart heated up.
Coming early doesn't beat coming timely.
Was taking on the task late actually a blessing in disguise?
If he had been as hasty and profit-seeking as Yu Hang and the others, he might now be in a complete mess.
"That... Brother Wang Ye, there are only two spots for the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm, and it's per team." Lan Yingti said cautiously, noticing the fiery look in Wang Ye's eyes.
Wang Ye glanced at it.
Indeed, it was for units of five people.
That was normal; the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm was now a chaotic mix of the good and the bad.
The Talent Garden bunch, with only the combat prowess of Chaos Gods, would surely be trampled if they acted alone.
They had no competitive edge at all!
And they wouldn't achieve any polishing effect.
"So the contribution points are to be shared equally?" Wang Ye asked.
"The captain can decide the distribution ratio in advance," Lan Yingti told Wang Ye.
"10:0:0:0:0 works?" Wang Ye asked.
Lan Yingti: "..."
"Just kidding." Wang Ye said, "Lan Ying, would you like to take a chance with me? However, let me be upfront, I can only give you the minimum share of ten percent."
In the Talent Garden, there were rules.
Although the captain could decide the distribution ratio, each team member had to be allocated at least ten percent.
"I..." Lan Yingti hesitated.
"Your sister is going too," Wang Ye said. "Plus my good brother; the four of us will do something big!"
Lan Yingti gasped, "Can those not from the Talent Garden also apply?"
Wang Ye said, "The rules don't specify it must be from the Talent Garden."
Perfect, he didn't have to share anything with Lan Diewu and the Slaughter Emperor.
Two free sources of combat strength.
"But can we get through the application like this?" Lan Yingti worried. "We can't compete with other teams; surely, we will be screened out."
"Not at all." Wang Ye smiled. "As long as I apply."
"100% approval!"
*

The Talent Garden.
"Wang Ye refused to join," Zuo Qinqin shook her head. "I approached him several times, all in vain."
"Then let's forget about him," Yu Hang said. "Once the application is approved, the five of us will prepare to set off."
Sun Yu said, "There are quite a few teams competing for the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm task, and surprisingly, there are four including us."
"After all, the rewards have doubled," Yu Hang said. "Everyone wants to try their luck at fortune, which is normal. But with only two spots, it has to be our team and the Han Chuang Team."
Han Chuang ranked second in the Talent Garden.
Only behind Yu Hang.
He would have no problem getting his team through.
Soon—
"Brother Hang, the application was approved," Sun Yu was not surprised, but his expression suddenly changed when he checked the details.
"What's wrong, Yu?" Yu Hang asked.
"The other team isn't the Han Chuang Team," Sun Yu said in shock. "It's Wang Ye's Team!"
Wang Ye!?
All three of them were stunned.
Especially Zuo Qinqin, who widened her eyes.
Wang Ye had continuously rejected her invitations, and she thought he was just not interested, but it turned out he wanted to compete with them!
And his application had been approved!
"Impossible!" Zuo Qinqin snapped back. "How could their team possibly compete with the Han Chuang Team? What are their team members' ranks?"
"No ranks," Sun Yu said with a peculiar expression. "Wang Ye pulled in the newcomer Lan Yingti, formed a team with three others not from the Talent Garden, and then he himself took a share as high as ninety percent."
Yu Hang: "..."
Zuo Qinqin: "..."
Was this something a person could do?
His skin was too thick!
The question was, how could such an application ever be approved!
Too outrageous!
...
Of course, it was approved.
When Wang Ye mentioned the name Qionghua Divine, it was already a sure thing.
Even if Yu Hang's team was rejected, it wouldn't be their turn.
What's called networking!
What's called nepotism!
Moreover, their own application was entirely justifiable.
In terms of strength, just one Qionghua Divine was already very powerful, a true Chaos Divine Level combat strength!
Adding his own fifth rank, the other three making up the numbers weren't much to count.
In terms of experience, the Qionghua Divine was the first to obtain a Rare Divine Core!
Even if luck was involved, obtaining it was still an unbeatable experience that no other team could compare with.
Furthermore, in terms of appearance, each member of his side was formidable!
Time, location, and people were all in his favor!
He couldn't think of any reason for rejection!
Competition?
Why compete with another team of losers.
Their real opponents were the Chaos Gods of other groups in the Earthly Branch Chaos Realm!
Let's see whose fists were harder!
Whose brains were smarter!
This was his major mission, with ninety percent of the share!
This battle was destined to make a big splash!
To push the Primordial Human Race into the Inner Alliance in one go!
"Let's get started!" Wang Ye was full of fighting spirit!
