Very soon, Lin Xun began his second round of skill rerolling… no, his second transplant surgery.

After Bennett removed the eyeballs and cleared the original fixation from them, the bloodline skills that the little dragonkin had originally comprehended all vanished except for the Hermit’s skill.

Only after the surgery was completed were the bloodline skills comprehended again.

[…]

[You have transplanted Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Thunder Dragon Lance / Silent Thunder Prison (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Upside-Down Bewildering City / Illusory Kingdom (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended Ancient Dragon Oath (Special Skill)!]

Lin Xun’s face was full of speechlessness. The result of the second surgery was even worse than the first. He had only comprehended two bloodline skills.

[You and Bennett exchange a look. He has already read the answer from your eyes. Without even taking off his surgical gloves, Bennett signals for you to continue…]

[You lie back down on the operating table once again and begin the third transplant surgery…]

[…]

From then on, Lin Xun began his long journey of rerolling skills.

Across more than ten transplant surgeries, the result he got each time was different. In the worst attempt, the little dragonkin failed to comprehend even a single bloodline skill.

On one occasion, his luck exploded, and he came within only the Saint lineage bloodline skill of comprehending them all successfully.

But Lin Xun’s obsessive streak kicked in. If he did not fully comprehend every bloodline skill, he refused to stop. In any case, Bennett was now able to repeatedly perform the transplants without loss and without damaging the eyeballs’ quality.

But this also left Bennett utterly exhausted, because the quality of the six progenitor eyeballs was extremely high. Even a transplant doctor as great as Bennett had to go all out and proceed with extreme caution for more than an hour to complete each surgery.

After doing more than ten surgeries in succession, Bennett was practically ready to collapse from exhaustion.

Seeing Bennett persist on despite the blood vessels in his eyes being full of red, Lin Xun felt somewhat bad about it, so he drove this old friend off to rest, indicating that continuing the surgeries tomorrow would not delay anything.

Both knowledge schools were going all out to analyze the star gods’ coordinates. According to Grand Scholar Rona’s estimate, it would still take around a dozen more days to fully analyze all the remaining star god coordinates.

At that time, it would be the moment of the final decisive battle: awakening the two slumbering Great Prophets, killing the gathered star gods, and then charging into the Temple of Knowledge.

Taking advantage of this free time, Lin Xun had Bennett perform surgery on him at night to reroll the skills, while during the day he explored other regions of the Imperial Capital.

He returned the demon king legion from the teleportation painting back to the underground Abyss, and also found a suitable habitat for the many dragon race members in another painting.

Lin Xun was still one piece of Legendary grade Divinity short of raising his soul talent to +7.

He carefully explored the Imperial Capital region, unwilling to miss even a single corner, determined to lick up one Divine item.

Unfortunately, fate did not go his way. Divine items were mainly obtained through lucky encounters such as finding Divine Images or opening treasure chests, while the chance of them dropping from monsters was extremely low. Even after combing the Imperial Capital region over twice, he still did not find a Divine item. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In the end, it was Grand Scholar Rona who provided an extra clue regarding Divine items.

There was one type of creature with an extremely high Divine drop rate, the Veiled Aberration.

One of the reasons Lin Xun had chosen once again to enter through the World of Omniscience at the outset was precisely for the Veiled Aberrations, but unfortunately all the regions in this chapter were under the jurisdiction and control of the school headquarters, and the school had long since cleaned out the nearby Veiled Aberrations.

Only in remote towns, those regions far from school jurisdiction, would the school allow the Veiled Aberrations to devour one another freely until a Veiled Aberration Overlord was born, at which point they would dispatch Scholars to harvest it.

The harvested Divinity would then be supplied to those Great Sages among the school leadership, allowing them to strengthen the power of Analysis Authority so they could advance to Prophet as soon as possible and become the next successor.

It was just that the birth probability of a Veiled Aberration Overlord was very low. Even with many remote towns set aside for rearing them, the Divine items produced over the years had still been very few.

Grand Scholar Rona knew he was looking for Divine items, so she instructed the Chairman of the Multivision Association that if a new Veiled Aberration Overlord was born in a rearing region, the harvested Divine item should be kept for him.

That order alone had caused the chairman to think that he was Grand Scholar Rona’s little pretty boy.

However, with all the star god coordinates nearly finished being analyzed, the school no longer needed Divine items to help the Great Sages increase their Analysis Authority and thus advance to Prophet and become the next successor.

After all, advancing to Prophet required bearing the enormous risk of being eroded by Disorder. Crossing the boundary between human and god was an act of sacrifice with no path of retreat.

Perhaps Lin Xun’s luck was good, because the school really had discovered a newly born Veiled Aberration Overlord not long ago, one that had not yet been harvested.

The game prompt stated that the remote town called Lupeni was a fifth difficulty region, and because the difficulty gap spanned two levels and the timeline did not match, he could not go to that region.

Lin Xun could only have Grand Scholar Rona dispatch several Scholars to carry out the harvesting mission.

For the school, sending out any Sage at random would be enough to quickly kill the Veiled Aberration Overlord, and the harvest itself would not take much time. But because the distance there and back was extremely far, they would have to spend a great amount of time just on the journey.

On a round trip like that, if everything went quickly, they could barely make it back before the final decisive battle.

But if they happened to run into some accident along the way, then the situation would become uncertain.

He was worried that the infernal game would pull some kind of trick again, so he kept blowing pillow talk into Grand Scholar Rona’s ear, leading the Multivision School to dispatch an extravagant lineup led by three Great Sages and accompanied by ten Sages to head to Lupeni and harvest the overlord.

While waiting for the Sage harvesting party to return, under Bennett’s tireless surgeries, Lin Xun, after rerolling the bloodline skills nearly a hundred times, finally comprehended all the skills of the six ancient dragon progenitors.

When all the bloodline skills of the six ancient dragon progenitors gathered together, the game issued an additional prompt.

[You have transplanted Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Thunder Dragon Lance / Silent Thunder Prison (mythic+ grade)!]

[…]

[…]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Hymn of Life / Rebirth into Sainthood (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended Ancient Dragon Oath (Special Skill)!]

[Apostle, you have comprehended all the bloodline skills of the six ancient dragon progenitors!]

[Your Shell Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit has advanced into Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Ancient Dragon!]

[Your Shell Skill Hermit Bloodline has advanced into Ancient Dragon Bloodline!]

[Ancient Dragon Bloodline (mythic+ grade skill): A pure and great bloodline originating from the six ancient dragon progenitors, possessing countless possibilities for advancement. Although the Shell has completely inherited the bloodlines of the ancient dragons, because of the existence of an inexplicable seal, this skill is currently suppressed to mythic+ grade. If you can break through the seal’s limitation, perhaps you may obtain the true power of the ancient dragons.]

[By using this skill, you can command any dragon whose grade realm is lower than your own, and you can devour the bloodline power of any dragon to raise this Shell’s Shell Quality and skill quality.]

[Inside the spacious operating room, the terrifying shadows of six colossal beings suddenly appear…]

[The operating room cannot even contain the shadow of one ancient dragon, much less the complete shadows of the six ancient dragon progenitors…]

[The ancient dragon shadows break through the limits of the walls. Six giant ancient dragons of different colors raise their heads and roar to the heavens, radiating endless terrifying pressure!]

[Bennett hurriedly crouches under the operating table, trembling…]
