I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 73: Chapter 70: Limited Number of Divine Skills

Yunhai City immediately found out who the "Extraordinary Spark" was, and the room was filled with an atmosphere of jubilation.

The most troublesome issue in the research institute was which one to choose out of one, two, three, four?

"Mr. Li, we all want to know, what should we do?"

"Ah, just pick one... While we hesitate here for a minute, Lu Yuan has to wait a hundred minutes there."

Li Chunhong said with a smile, "He must be eager to communicate, so just pick any, to satisfy his desire to communicate."

...

Interdimensional communication was indeed troublesome.

"Human decision-making is still as hesitant as ever."

"Are you going to hold a seminar and make me wait a year? Damn, a bunch of amateurs."

Lu Yuan waited for a long time without receiving a reply, so out of boredom, he picked up a file and began reading.

[Meida Civilization Superpower User Statistical Report]

The occurrence rate of superpower users in the Meida Civilization is about one in ten.

Most superpower users are quite weak, just a notch above ordinary humans.

However, it is noteworthy that seemingly weak abilities can sometimes be developed, like "Huge Power", "Eagle Eye", "Rapid Response," and other physical abilities, all have significant potential for development.

So, what kind of abilities can be developed, what kind are hard to develop, and which ones are powerful?

In this regard, experts from the Meida Civilization have divided superpowers into three categories.

The first category is based on the "Shape" attribute, called "Shape Skill."

"Huge Power", "Eagle Eye", "Regeneration", these physically based abilities, are essentially Shape Skills.

Like the "Monster Power" of the Pangu Bear is a type of "Shape Skill."

The second category is based on the "Qi" attribute, called "Qi Skill", which can enhance the immune system and sensory system, with typical abilities being "Rapid Response", "Sixth Sense", etc.

Both Shape Skill and Qi Skill are, in theory, developable.

It's just that everyone rushed to develop the teachable Extraordinary Fire, which has much more growth potential than most abilities.

Other abilities can't be taught to one another, how can individual development compare to the development by an entire civilization?

Since there are "Shape Skill" and "Qi Skill", there naturally exists "Divine Skill" as well.

Divine Skill is extremely rare and basically undevelopable, only enhancing somewhat as the attribute grows.

But the functions of Divine Skill are extremely powerful, for example "Detection", "Identification", the "Detection" ability that can see attribute panels, is a type of Divine Skill.

There are also Space Ability, Foreknowledge, and so on, all belonging to the category of "Divine Skill".

These people are the true treasures of a civilization.

The value of "Divine Skill" is far greater than that of "Shape Skill" and "Qi Skill".

[According to internal statistics of the Meida Civilization, in the first generation of the population, the older the civilization, the higher the probability of Divine Skill appearing, even reaching as high as one in ten thousand.]

The Meida Civilization also has thirteen branches, naturally with internal communication.

This conclusion seems very miraculous.

[In subsequent generations, the probability decreases year by year, until even among ten million newborns, not one possesses a "Divine Skill".]

[We believe that even if there is a clash of civilizations, bearers of Divine Skills could still be granted amnesty. Because such people are too few, and a civilization may only give birth to limited Divine Skills.]

These papers made Lu Yuan's head spin, giving him the sensation of "a small knife poking at the butt—his eyes had opened."

"My abilities, apart from the Extraordinary Spark, are all Divine Skills..."

"But why are the numbers limited?"

This was really strange.

But the next second, he saw the next line: "All monstrous creatures capable of destroying civilizations are suspected to possess Divine Skills."

"Determining what their Divine Skills are and finding ways to circumvent them is key to defeating them."

Continue your saga on M-V-L

The Meida Civilization had never fought with monstrous creatures, but they sure talked big...

Lu Yuan rubbed his nose and thought, there was some sense to it.

While reading, he specially placed the paper in front of the camera and shook it a couple of times.

After all, humans couldn't understand the script of the Meida Civilization... Are you anxious or not?

If you're anxious, just translate it yourself!

Damn, how long have you made me wait?

Decrypting text is not easy, as it's said that many ancient scripts still can't be fully deciphered; deciphering cuneiform scripts took three hundred years.

The script of the Meida Civilization... without the aid of some superpower, would take at least a few decades, right?

After a long wait, he finally heard the big metal ball issue three "dings".

A smile spread across his face, the human side really wanted to prioritize knowing about the "Extraordinary Fire"—an expected outcome.

This content, he was most skilled at.

Compared to reading papers, his demonstration might be more efficient.

After a moment of thought, his finger released a small flame that continuously changed in the air, "Since everyone wants to know about the Extraordinary Seed, let me explain it simply..."

"This ability is very important; it is crucial for the development of civilization."

"The cultivation method for the Extraordinary Spark still needs to be carefully considered."

"The first thing I want to teach everyone is the Ignition method, which is a dissemination technique developed by the Meida Civilization over ten years."

"The Extraordinary Spark is an ability that can be taught to each other, but during the teaching process, some inevitable energy loss occurs. If the loss is too large, it could result in a decrease in one's own strength."

"Especially in the early stages of cultivation, when the power of the spark is not abundant, a slight loss could possibly waste weeks or even a month of hard cultivation."

"Therefore, this Ignition method can reduce the energy loss to a very low level and rapidly increase the dissemination speed of the Extraordinary Spark."

Lu Yuan had not actually seriously practiced the "Ignition method."

He was alone, so practicing it seemed meaningless!

However, with his level 2 Extraordinary Spark, coupled with more than 10 points in three-dimensional attributes and innate abilities such as "Craftsmanship" and "Eternal Body," he easily replicated this technique.

"The Ignition method is also known as the 'Lotus Ignition Method'. First, we need to envision and sketch a finely detailed lotus in our minds."

"Achieving this is not easy, requiring high spiritual power and concentration, and must be practiced extensively."

"But to disseminate the ability with minimal loss, what's needed is meticulousness and focus."

"Once we can completely outline the lotus, we separate a tiny petal... This little petal then serves the purpose of transferring the fire."

Lu Yuan's fingertips sparked a flame, which transformed into a complex shape, quickly forming a beautiful red lotus.

This lotus emitted a faint glow, continuously rotating on his fingertip.

He paused and continued, "According to research from the Meida Civilization, peeling off a petal a day does not greatly harm oneself. However, humans are not from Meida; there might be physiological differences between the two, so you will have to investigate this yourself."

"It's pretty much this pattern, you research it yourself; there's no need to copy it exactly. The Meida Civilization's control is not the ultimate truth; humans can also make improvements."

He peeled off a "petal" and threw it onto Old Wolf's head.

"Ow?"

Old Wolf felt a bit of heat, glared with wide eyes, and extended its tongue to lick, as if tasting a warm puff of air.

Lu Yuan had tried many times to pass the Extraordinary Fire to Old Wolf.

Unfortunately, Old Wolf was not a sentient being; it just could not learn the ability.

"The essence of the Extraordinary Fire is actually a Qi Skill, not a Divine Skill. A civilization can birth only a limited number of Divine Skills; everyone must be aware of this, and not let these people die."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat, "Additionally, transferring the fire also has a certain success rate."

"According to research from the Meida Civilization, healthy adults have a higher chance of successfully transferring the fire, with a success rate of even over 80%, whereas the success rate for the old, weak, sick, and disabled is relatively low."

"However, as long as you try a few more times, it will eventually succeed... "

...

...

Yunhai City.

A soldier in military attire and an urban white-collar worker were learning the skills taught by Lu Yuan on a screen.

"This is way too difficult!"

"I can only draw one petal; I just can't continue!"

The soldier, named Wang Zhenhao, was just an ordinary engineer.

The pressure of suddenly being tasked with transferring the fire was immense.

"Less talk more action, brother; everyone is counting on you to transfer the fire!" the platoon leader scolded unceremoniously, "don't you drag us down."

"Platoon leader, this teacher, what's his name? Can I ask him some questions? There are a few steps that are very difficult, and I don't know how to proceed."

Wang Zhenhao kept scratching his scalp.

He had just tried it again, and the Extraordinary Fire in his mind could at most outline two petals before it could not be maintained.

And the requirement for the strategy was at least a complete lotus.

His Spark was too weak.

"Just study. You can't ask him; it's just a recording!"

"Platoon leader, I don't understand what he means by this... "

"How the hell would I know, just practice quickly!"

The other urban white-collar worker, a plain programmer, was even more puzzled.

The guy on the screen, playing with the lotus in his hands as if performing magic—can the Extraordinary Spark really be used this way?

Is this even real?

Could it be that humans actually have a backstage?

"Stop wondering, this is confidential. The person on the screen, just treat him as a teacher passing on knowledge; his last name is Lu."

The two hurriedly meditated, trying to transform their fire into more shapes.

As for the third person in Yunhai City who owned the Extraordinary Spark... unfortunately, they couldn't find him for the time being!

But the two were sufficient, as long as they could learn the method to transfer the fire, the number of people with the Extraordinary Fire could grow exponentially!
