I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Wu Youqing spoke softly, "The reason is very simple—cross-world interference."

Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.

"If in the present world, someone had laid out a scheme decades, or even hundreds of years in advance to deal with you today, that wouldn't be strange at all. A capability like 'Future Calculation' is not too uncommon."

"But if someone from another world had foreknowledge of the present world's situation, that would be a different story."

"Beings from beyond this realm... even gods, have extremely limited interference in the present world. Even sending a single message and ensuring the accuracy of the information in it is tremendously troublesome."

"When even sending a simple message is problematic, how many times more complicated do you think it would be to have cross-world foreknowledge of events about to unfold in the present world?"

Wu Youqing's tranquil and soothing voice, which was usually comforting, now caused Xue Jing's eyebrows to knit together.

"So we can basically confirm it?"

Wu Youqing nodded and said, "Aside from the 'All-Knowing Demon,' no other Heretic Gods can overcome the constraints of the present world and forcibly extract its information."

"If that Parasitic Candle came across worlds for you, it must be related to the All-Knowing Demon; either It has its own designs on you, or there's another entity utilizing Its power."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing pinched his chin.

Things have turned dire, haven't they? To actually be targeted by such a terrifying entity.

"The trouble isn't just the All-Knowing Demon." Wu Youqing crossed her legs, sitting as elegantly as a queen as she sipped her tea.

"Parasitic Candles are underlings of the Black Candle God, a being also from the Olden Days. The Black Candle God has played a part as well, so at the very least, you're on Its radar, too."

Xue Jing: "..."

Wu Youqing smiled and said:

"Now, you should be able to somewhat understand how I feel."

Xue Jing also couldn't help but smile, nodding and saying, "Indeed, I can empathize."

Wu Youqing, as a Chosen Blessed One who was inexplicably targeted by a Heretic God, had endured the fear of 'Divine Concealment' happening at any moment, making it to where she is today.

Before now, Xue Jing could only attempt to understand her feelings through imagination, yet he could never truly know the sensation of the Damocles' sword hanging over his head.

Now, he had a bit of understanding, and indeed, it was quite unsettling.

"However, rest for now, the disturbance from beyond the realm on the present world is extremely limited; your situation is different from mine."

Wu Youqing's gentle voice began to offer comfort.

"Just like this time, even if the preparations began from your birth, they've only managed to send over a mere Parasitic Candle. For now, it is nothing to worry about."

Xue Jing scratched his head: "For now?"

Wu Youqing nodded and said: "Of course, you don't think actions of a Heretic God level would be limited to just this, do you?"

"This is just the beginning; in the future, there will likely be more things coming across worlds to trouble you..."

Xue Jing tapped his fingers on the table, making a thumping sound.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "That's quite alright."

Was the Parasitic Candle a nuisance? It seemed so.

But at the same time,

It was also a grand treasure that could bring four thousand Divinity points, equivalent to eight Divine Relics.

Many matters could be seen differently with a change of perspective.

Heretic Gods were after him, seeking to trouble him?

Was that trouble? That was clearly blessings coming his way.

The only precondition, however, was that he would have to be capable of receiving these 'blessings'...

Xue Jing's gaze grew contemplative.

Strive, grow stronger, and run so fast that the threats behind him could never catch up.

Only by becoming powerful could all matters be ultimately resolved.

The flames of determination quietly burnt in Xue Jing's pupils.

That was the engine of motivation to grow stronger roaring into life.

Wu Youqing, with a soft gaze, smiled satisfactorily and said, "It seems I don't need to say much more."

"Jing, you are the most unique person I've ever met. As long as you don't stop, your path will always continue to unfold."

"...I'm looking forward to it."

...

Xue Jing and Wu Youqing talked about many things before he bid farewell and left.

When he returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

He hugged Miao Miao for a good while, rubbed the little maid's head, rejected Xue Wan's 'brother-absorbing behavior,' and then returned to his own room.

Sitting on the bed, Xue Jing first glanced at his attribute table.

Body: 1452

Spirit: 1621

Robbery: 13842

Saint: 7398

Power: &￥#%￥%

After a fierce battle with the Parasitic Candle, his attributes had changed again.

[Physique] increased by only a few dozen points, but [Will] unexpectedly increased by more than a hundred points.

[Will] is the sum of all mental power, which varies with one's mental strength and state. Xue Jing thought about it, it must have been the stimulus of being coveted by the Heretic God that strengthened his resolve to become more powerful.

And [Robbery]... really unreasonable, it suddenly surged by more than two thousand.

"How heavy is this world's malice towards me?" Xue Jing said helplessly.

Shaking his head, he opened the Skill Panel.

"Now, it's time to spend."

Xue Jing looked at the [4568] Divinity Points he had and, after a bit of thought, proceeded with his earlier idea and first clicked on [Teaching].

[Detected Sublimatable Skill: Teaching]

[Sublimation conditions:

The first, ?????（Already met）

The second, Level reaches Lv10（Already met）

The third, Required Divinity: 1000]

[Conditions met, spend 1000 Divinity Points to sublimate?]

Xue Jing clicked to sublimate.

The next moment, [Teaching] slowly dissolved and vanished like ink in water. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

On the Extraordinary Skill tab, below [Army Master], a brand new skill gradually appeared.

[Empowerment Lv1 (Extraordinary)]

[Upgrade requirements: Experience Points 0/10000, Divinity 3568/1000]

"Hmm?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

The sublimation condition for [Teaching] was triggered when Gun Saint Wu Xuanzhu imparted the Mahayana Flying Sword to him through 'Divine Will Implantation'.

He hadn't expected that after sublimation, it would still be [Empowerment]...

"Looks like it should mean 'power impartation.' Wonder what the actual effect will be."

Xue Jing felt an itch in his hands and wanted to find someone to try it on.

He stepped out of his room and saw Xue Wan lying on the couch, holding Miao Miao and watching an animation called [Azure Sea], laughing loudly from time to time, fiercely rubbing the cat, leaving Ning Maomao utterly speechless.

Seeing this, Xue Jing walked over to her, sat down next to her, and looked at her tenderly, saying in a soft, bubbly voice:

"Dear sister..."

Xue Wan's expression froze, goosebumps crawling from her head all the way down to her feet, and her whole body shook violently.

She quickly sat up straight, moved away from Xue Jing, and squeezed into the corner of the couch, warily looking at her brother.

"What do you want!"

"Murder? Robbery? Setting me up?"

She posed with her hands in the Ultraman battle-ready stance, and Miao Miao meowed, taking the opportunity to escape her clutches.

Xue Jing said with a tender smile, "What are you talking about? You are my dearest and most beloved Wanwan sister... How could I possibly harm you?"

Hearing this unnervingly gentle voice, Xue Wan's anxiety intensified, and her teeth started to chatter:

"Let's... let's just talk this out, okay? Don't do this, it's too scary!"

Xue Jing leaned closer to Xue Wan, resting his hands on her shoulders, and said gently:

"Don't worry, sister, you don't have to do anything, just leave it to me... It will be over soon."

"Ah?" Xue Wan's face flushed red.

"It's not... What on earth do you want to do?"

"That kind of thing... We can't, we're siblings after all."

Her voice was soft and weak, barely a whisper, almost as if she couldn't muster any resistance.

Xue Jing rolled his eyes, feeling utterly speechless about this foolish woman, too lazy to say more, he pressed his palm on the crown of her head.

"I know you're at an age where you might think about that kind of thing, facing such a beautiful sister every day is a difficult test, but..."

Before Xue Wan could finish her rambling words, Xue Jing's hand pressed down on her.

"Eh?"

Before she could wonder what Xue Jing was up to, a powerful shock hit her. Xue Wan's body trembled, her eyes rolled back, and drool leaked from her mouth...

It seemed like something of Xue Jing's had entered her body.
