Chapter 625: 287: The Civilization Inheritor, Three Hundred-Fold Power
Of course, their quick compatibility with these Rune Sequence Chains was related to the Giant Beasts.
If this rune were to fuse with a person, at least a small portion of the sequence chains would have to be removed, and the others compressed and adjusted without affecting the giantization effect.
This is also why humans usually draw inspiration from Giant Beasts’ Talent Runes, rather than using them directly.
Within his Sea of Knowledge, as the blood shadow of the Black-red Colossal Beast slowly approached and overlapped with the rune-formed Red Beast, the night-long enlightenment finally ended.
Phew! The Thunderflame Emperor Dragon exhaled a scorching breath from its mouth and nose, a hint of satisfaction in its golden vertical pupils.
The Giantification Talent Rune had been adjusted, and next, just like with a Cultivation Method, the basic Rune Sequence Chains shell would be condensed for the attribute page to record.
Then naturally, it would be directly enhanced with Attribute points, achieving it in one step.
On the hillside, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the transparent page before him, contemplating the remaining three thousand plus Attribute points.
“Let’s rest for a bit,” he said.
Consecutive enlightenment sessions were exhausting, and in such a state, Jack needed to rest and recover.
It was only then that he noticed the Sky Element Stone in his hand had turned to powder at some point, and the real-time progress of the Combat Shadow had risen to twenty-four percent.
After cultivating for two more days, he should be able to make a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer Heaven.
Outside the Void Rift, Marcellus Larry looked at the ever-increasing Purple Killing Energy values of geniuses on the leaderboard, but Jack’s remained still, which was a bit unexpected.
“What’s with that kid?” he muttered.
Saying so, Marcellus Larry clicked on Jack’s Sub-eye Positioning, and suddenly the massive Eye of Heaven Observation displayed a high-altitude overview; in the image, Jack was sitting cross-legged on the hillside, cultivating.
Immediately, the two king-level figures paused, Marcellus Larry somewhat puzzled, “Why is he still cultivating at this time?”
Shouldn’t these geniuses who have just entered the Ruins be striving to explore or slay polluted monsters to prepare themselves for the Road to Becoming a God?
Lori Joyner shook her head, “I don’t know, but this kid has always been mysterious.”
“If it weren’t for the guy Derick Ramsey using his Break Through the Void Eye to see his soul fully integrated with his body, some might even suspect he had been possessed.”
During Mathilda Ward’s last concert, Gwen Gail’s attendance was not only to provide camouflage for the Heavenly King Derick Ramsey but also to check on Jack Clark.
There was no helping it; Jack’s rise was too steep, almost shooting up in a straight line, and without a trace.
Normally, top-notch geniuses registered with the alliance have detailed records.
Some manifested abilities from a young age or had bodies with strong activation suitable for Gene Fusion, while others were naturally nimble-minded and clever, suited for the path of Mecha martial arts.
Furthermore, these top-notch geniuses also displayed exceptional talent right from their first contact with cultivation.
For example, Jane Aiken, whose cultivation talent overshadowed South Sky Martial Height from the beginning, and after reaching the Third Layer Heaven, her talent for enlightenment soared to new heights.
Or geniuses like Howard Lambert who had Innate Divine Strength enhanced by later Cultivation Methods for a secondary qualitative change.
Including Beast King Baldro, the hidden monster Brudos, or Mecha Genius Jennifer Jefferson and Eddy Keller, all of them have well-documented paths to rise.
It’s not that there are no geniuses who have amassed silently and then suddenly shone, but those take years to accumulate and achieve enlightenment overnight.
Like the Mysterious Martial Sky King who made his mark in his twenties.
Jack’s case, where he started with average talent and then his progression speed accelerated, surpassing everyone else within half a year, was too extraordinary.
Even those Innate Awakened Ones of the past couldn’t compete with him.
Of course, it wasn’t the Federation targeting Jack specifically, but such a high level of talent had to be handled with caution because it involved the Path of the Gods.
If such high-level talent had issues and something went wrong, the resulting damage would be more severe than what happened with Jonathan Walker.
Jonathan at least had not received the inheritance of Ancient Civilization.
Fortunately, although Jack’s rise was extraordinary, Derick Ramsey confirmed that there were no problems.
And according to Derick Ramsey’s assessment, Jack’s physical talent was comparable to Innate Awakening. His mere brute strength could overpower other cultivators at the same level, fierce and unmatched.
Combined with a terrifying cultivation talent, reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven in just over half a year, and the horrifying enlightenment to create his own Secret Manual in a month, he had been listed as a Federation civilization inheritor.
This status was quite special, regarded as the next hope for civilization.
Therefore, as long as he was within the range of a king-level figure, regardless of how critical their own tasks were, they had to prioritize his safety, ensuring his protection until he ascended to king-level.
Including this time in the Ruins.
If Jack were indeed to encounter danger later on, Marcellus Larry and Lori Joyner would intervene directly, even if it meant triggering a premature Void Tide and pushing the Ruins Continent away.
Compared to the mostly explored Oasis and the World Origin that could also be condensed in the mythical world, the visible future of the Human Race in Jack and his generation was more important.
That was also why the two of them kept an eye on Jack consistently.
However, Jack was unaware of all this, and the Federation wouldn’t tell them.
They wanted to prevent these geniuses from becoming too arrogant due to the Federation’s high regard for them, losing their awe of the strong, and potentially acting more recklessly and aggressively when encountering dangerous situations or strong men in the future.
In such cases, they could die on the Path to the Mythical World any day.
In this dangerous era, even king-level figures did not dare to claim invincibility; they all faced the risk of falling, let alone these geniuses who had yet to grow.
