My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 88 The Impossibility of Talents

88  The Impossibility of Talents

"So this is how talent works…" Han Li muttered in amazement, startled deeply.

Liyue and Yue Li looked at him, both of their eyes filled with a bit of lingering desire after the seduction. He looked back at them and briefly forgot about his new talent, he gently caressed their faces. "Not now, wait a bit."

Nodding, Liyue's face began to calm down while Yue Li looked at him curiously. She had many questions, when did he evolve, how did he evolve, why did he evolve so early, and how did it feel? But she then looked at Liyue and knew the girl must also have many questions she wanted answers to. After all, Liyue had absolutely no clue about her and her baby's relationship and Yue Li was somewhat afraid of her take on all of this.

She knew their relationship could be quite… controversial. Especially when it comes to the people in Han Li's current and possible future Harem.

Liyue looked at Yue Li and they exchanged a tense glance filled with some unknown thoughts. Han Li saw it but didn't really bother about it now, he had some ideas about what both of them were thinking anyway. Instead, he looked at his hands with Life Vision.

[Minor Lust Dao Crystals: 38]

[Talents]

[Low-Level Seduction]

He once again looked at Liyue and her finally calming face reddened a bit before returning back to normal a second later. She blinked and as Han Li's hold loosened, gently got away from his embrace. He on the other hand was once again, thoughtful.

His Minor Dao Crystals didn't reduce in number after he used the Magic Power, or instead — Talent. But considering it, that wasn't even the most frightening aspect of what was going on, thinking about it, a frightening roar screamed in his heart like a blazing inferno.

Yue Li and Liyue stood a bit to his side and could see his red, crimson gaze growing brighter and brighter till he laughed. His laughter was low and creep-inducing had they not been looking at him, but it exploded into the surroundings like a madman's howl.

"I understand it," he said, an amused note in his tone.

"What did you understand?" Yue Li asked, curious.

Liyue also looked at him with curiosity, it was rare for Han Li to show such emotions. Most of what she knew, her big brother Han was a man with a calm and serious head, what made him laugh like this?

Han Li looked at them and noted their involuntarily brightening face at his happy laughter and couldn't help but grow a bit more serious. But he didn't yet tell them his thoughts.

'I had always had the eye, the last life, and before that too. But I had never used it to Evolve in reality, and all that I got was an illusion of what could've been. But now that I evolved in the real world, the Eye is finally showing me things it hadn't before. And it is much more frightening than what I had expected it to be.'

The girls grew silent as his face grew even more serious at his thoughts.

If his thought-process was in the correct path, even if another person in the world had the Lust Dao Soul, and Lust Dao Crystals, they can no longer use the Magic Power, Low-Level Seduction even if they knew the chants to use it. "I realized one thing Mom, Liyue, there is a theory in the Seven Continents, that the Magic Powers that cultivators use by chanting some mysterious words are actually the words that you need in order to ask the heavens for assistance. Like keywords that open up its ears."

"Hmmm…. Once more," Yue Li looked at him with a humble and dumb look.

He looked at her and said with certainty, "It is believed that some kind of consciousness exists at the top of this world, and that when we speak certain words, the chants, the consciousness is believed to be the one keeping all Dao in control. Like Life Dao, all the powers of Life are under its control just like all the other 6 Great Daos' powers, and that goes all the more for normal Daos like Lust or Bone under a Great Dao like Life."

"You mean?"

"We are basically begging for the power, like calling, oh big bro consciousness, please help me do this specific task and I will feed you a Dao Crystal of equal value in return."

"I understand…but what did you realize?" Yue Li nodded with a thoughtful face, while Liyue also thought about the implication of such an almighty consciousness standing above them.

"I realized that this theory is probably true and such a consciousness probably, does exist. It's a hunch for now, but I am almost certain."

Yue Li took a deep breath and tried to digest the information. While Liyue looked up at the sky with a confused face.

On the other hand, Han Li looked at his hands with eyes filled with surety. His 'Talents' didn't use Dao Crystals of equal value, it was like his hands and feet, he didn't even know if it was limited by something like stamina or anything of that sort yet.

It was basically against the 'Law of conservation of energy' which was believed to be consistent universally across all continents and Daos —  energy can neither be created nor destroyed, But this, even if it might need something like Stamina, was okay.

One thing was sure now; if such an almighty consciousness did exist, he had stolen the Low-Level Seduction spell from it and made it his own. If his stamina was used to cast this talent, that would only solidify this idea. It had become inherently his own.

He would no longer have to beg to the heavens and could naturally use it on his own with a thought. On Low-level magic powers, that might not sound awfully overpowered, but on higher stages where a split second could be deadly, to use chantless Magic — Talent — would be more deadly than a blade.

And that thought made him think of another thing much more crucial. In totality, it was believed there were 300 Magic Powers in each normal Dao and 3000 Normal Daos under all Great Daos. So, if he could cultivate and use enough crystals to use every Magic Power among the 300, ten times and turn all of them into his Talents, would he then come to own the entire Dao?

Can he steal a Dao for himself and command it? Nobody had ever done it as far as he knew. Even though he had no idea who the other six inheritors of the seven demons were. Can they also steal Magic Powers and possibly, Daos?

What difference would all of this make in his cultivation path?

Would it make his rise easier or harder?

The thought alone made his heart itch and throat parch. But it was a goal that was far off in the distance. If he needed to use all 300, he would need to learn all 300 Magic Powers, but luckily, the Demonic Lust Sutra had all 300 of them. But what about 3000 Dao Crystals?

And if he could absorb all of the normal Dao, and then come to absorb all of the the Life Great Dao, wasn't it an extremely easy go around?

It made him confused about the whole path of cultivation that he had in mind.

'Maybe absorbing the Talent into oneself and Dao itself is totally different… I need to do some serious research on this!'

For that, he would need another 3000 Dao Crystals alongside the nearly 1000 he needed for his Skin Transformation, and more yet to come in order to cultivate the other two Transformations.

"Come on guys, let's go home." Han Li stood up from the boulder and started walking home, his eyes unable to escape his thoughts. No matter what, with the Seduction Magic Power becoming his Talent alone, he had a clear path to move now.

'I should make one offensive Magic Power and one Defensive kind into my talent…' He licked his lips at the thought, but didn't plan to do it here since he didn't require a fleshly target like the magic power — now his talent — low-level seduction required.

He could go to his home and use one power after the other and make it his own. He could already see his rise. "Xiao Li." Yue Li skipped on her feet came to his side nimbly, and asked curiously, "So what does it all mean to us in the end? I am quite confused here. Why did you tell it to us? Like, any meaning?"

Han Li blinked and put on an arrogant face like the one Yue Li put on earlier to mock him, and said seriously, "It is not yet time for you to learn that. Wait till the time comes."

Yue Li's face reddened and Liyue smiled uncontrollably.

Taking her hands into his, Han Li smiled and said, "More knowledge is never bad, less knowledge is always bad. And Liyue," He took Liyue's hand too, and continued, "we have to talk about our marriage in focus. But we'll do everything after reaching home."

He didn't plan to ever come outside the zone for training again, unless absolutely necessary. He already had multiple paths to focus on to grow stronger and dumbly going out was… dumb.

Even if he secluded himself in his home now and cultivated slowly, he had the resources to complete his minor goals.
