After spending a lot of money and putting in a lot of effort, Lin Yao had accumulated more than 4,000 green energy points. Although he had not returned to the way he had been before, there was not much left. Lin Yao felt his heart ache.
After a long while, he finally regained his composure.
\ 'I have to look on the bright side. The first upgrade requires 3,000 grams, and the potential of the Tree of Heaven Punishment is outstanding … Wait, why is the Tree of Heaven Punishment of a higher level than the Kabbalah Tree of Life …\'
Lin Yao had originally wanted to ask why the Tree of Heaven Punishment was of a higher level than the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Although it came from the East and he believed that Western mythology was inferior to Eastern mythology, Lin Yao also knew that the Kabbalah Tree of Life contained the secrets of humans and gods, as well as all the knowledge of the creation of the world. Logically speaking, it was very mysterious. Even though the Tree of Heaven Punishment was transformed by the Heavenly Path and Heavenly Tribulation, it was inferior to the Kabbalah Tree of Life. After all, the former was only a manifestation of the rules between heaven and earth, while the latter could represent the world itself.
However, he soon realized that what he had was not the Kabbalah's Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, but a descendant of the Kabbalah's Tree of Life, a Tree of Light that had been assimilated by the Celestial Tree.
\ 'The Tree of Heaven Punishment is no match for the Kabbalah Tree of Life, but it is normal for it to surpass the Tree of Light. In fact, a normal Tree of Heaven Punishment is a sacred tree that is on par with the Celestial Tree. Unfortunately, the energy in the leaves I obtained has been flowing away for hundreds of thousands of years, and there isn\'t much left. Otherwise, one advancement would require more than 100,000 grams of energy points.\'
At the thought of obtaining the real Heaven Punishment Leaf and not being able to advance, Lin Yao did not know whether he was lucky or not.
Lin Yao let his imagination run wild. At that moment, the Tree of Heaven Punishment, which was wrapped in purple light, finally completed its advancement and bloomed.
The light dissipated, and the Tree of Heaven Punishment that reappeared in front of Lin Yao was no longer a seedling. It had grown into a small sapling that was about 1.5 meters tall.
On the mysterious purple sapling, there were electric sparks wandering.
When he saw the electric light flashing on the sapling, Lin Yao\'s body suddenly trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
No … it wasn't as if … it was really an electric shock.
An electric current appeared in Lin Yao\'s body and flowed in it.
Due to the weak electric current, the fast-flowing electric light was not visible, but it made Lin Yao's hair stand on end. When Lin Yao casually brushed his fingers against his hair, electric light bloomed on his fingertips due to the friction.
"Crackle!"
Amidst the flashing electric lights, there was a look of surprise on Lin Yao's face.
"Lightning ability, I finally have it."
In ancient times, due to the ignorance of humans, electricity was known as the authority of the gods. It was the main method that the gods used to punish the world. In modern society, although electricity had lost its mythical color, it was still one of the most powerful abilities due to humans' control over electricity. It was also one of the most developed abilities.
Besides, now that the Tree of Heaven Punishment had advanced into a small sapling, the benefits that Lin Yao had gained were not limited to this.
[Tree of Heaven Punishment (Damaged Source)]
"Mature Length: Small Sapling (0/100000)"
[Status: Silver Person (Due to damage to the origin, the highest level one can reach is God's Descendant]
[Current Talents: Good and Evil Discernment LV3, Heavenly Thunder Control LV1]
Trees were also divided into hypostasis. The Tree of Heaven Punishment, which had advanced once, was directly upgraded to a Silver Person. This was an upgrade in hypostasis. A newborn Silver Person might not be as good as a mature Iron Person, but its talent and lifespan were superior.
Lin Yao now benefited from this and had two talents.
\ 'Malice Detection has now become Good and Evil Discernment. I can also perceive those who are kind to me. Also, Heavenly Thunder Control is not the lightning awakening that I thought it would be.\'
[Good and Evil Discernment LV3: The host can perceive and distinguish the good and evil attitudes of all living creatures toward him. The range is 300 meters.]
[Heavenly Thunder Control LV1: The Tree of Heaven Punishment punishes its enemies with thunderbolts. Due to the worship of humans and the rules of heaven, the thunderbolts emitted by the Tree of Heaven Punishment belong to Heavenly Thunder and have an extremely high deterrent and lethal effect on evil.]
Lin Yao was delighted to have gained two talents. Upon seeing that the Tree of Heaven Punishment was still God's Descendant despite the damage to the origin, Lin Yao could feel the power of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.
Iron Person, Silver Person, Gold Person, and God's Descendant — these were the four stages that ordinary humans had to go through to become gods.
These four stages were actually representative species. The Iron Person was a human who had just become a transcendent (a martial artist), the Silver Person was an elf (a warlord) with a lifespan of 1,000 years, the Gold Person was a giant dragon (a human king) with perfect physical and magical abilities, and the God's Descendant was a god's son and a demigod hero. (The Spirit Energy Revival had just begun, and humans had not reached such a realm yet.)
Due to this essential transformation, after human research, humans had also divided the realms into martial artists, warlords, and kings.
However, the higher the hypostasis, the greater the gap in combat power within the same hypostasis. Therefore, martial artists were only divided into low, intermediate, advanced, and extreme stages. As for warlords, they were divided into three stages: ordinary warlords, silver warlords, and gold warlords. As for the specific division of kings, Lin Yao was not sure.
\ 'Even if the origin is damaged, it will be a god's descendant. If it is intact, it will be a god-level tree. Besides, the Tree of Heaven Punishment … I can tell from its name that it is also an extremely powerful god's descendant.\'
Feeling emotional about the power of the Tree of Heaven Punishment, Lin Yao turned and walked toward the Abnormal Ability Department. He was here to ask for a subsidy after spending all his money.
"Hello, Student Lin, is it? How can I help you?"
Upon entering the building of the Abnormal Ability Department, Lin Yao did not need to look for a service staff member.
The Abnormal Ability Department was considered the safest place in the city. Anyone who could work there, even the most ordinary service staff, was considered a very talented person.
Well, this was only limited to the positions of service staff and other talented people. There were also some lucrative positions that had been decided internally and taken over by some people with connections.
Of course, those people did not dare go overboard. This was not because the people with connections were of high quality, but because times were different. The city might be stable now, but this was wartime.
Severe punishment was required during wartime. Those smart people would not dare act recklessly at this time.
Lin Yao was not aware of the above. This was what Guan Youmeng, the receptionist in front of him, thought. She had seen many talented people since coming to work here. She had also seen some rich but incompetent second-generation heirs flaunting their prowess in front of ordinary people, but they did not dare provoke talented people.
Such knowledge made her want to find a good husband. Although Lin Yao was still young, he had outstanding talent. Guan Youmeng did not mind developing a relationship with him.
Unfortunately, Lin Yao was not in the mood to do so.
\ 'My talent has improved. Can you help me contact the person in charge of the ability assessment and help me re-register my talent?\'
The last time he registered, Lin Yao had obtained a total of 30 bottles of nutrition drinks, two gold combat skills, two opportunities to apply for gold resources, and a diamond technique. The huge harvest and his experience in the Technique Pavilion had also made Lin Yao understand that the government was still in control of everything in China. Therefore, Lin Yao, who had improved his talent, had gone to register as soon as possible, ready to take advantage of the government.
Guan Youmeng knew that Lin Yao was a talented person, but she did not know Lin Yao\'s original level. However, no matter what level he was at, as long as he was awakened, he was a genius. Her eyes lit up when she heard that his talent had improved.
"Student, this way, please. I will help you contact the section chief. There is tea and pastries here. If you want anything else, you can tell me. I will prepare it for you."
"Okay."
Lin Yao was helpless at the receptionist\'s enthusiasm. Fortunately, it had not been long since Lin Yao had last registered, and Chief Shi and the rest still had an impression of him.
When Lin Yao\'s name was reported, Chief Shi and the representatives of the other departments stationed here immediately ran over. Soon, Lin Yao was pulled over for a second assessment.
When they arrived, the white-haired old man, who was a professor with a high degree of research on talent, could not wait to speak.
