Chapter 234: Chapter 220: A Brand-New Talent

"I... must change?"

Xiao Yi repeated it to himself, but he still didn’t quite understand Eve’s meaning.

So, Xiao Yi asked, "Eve, when you say I must change... what exactly do you mean?"

"It’s just as it sounds," Eve explained. "Xiao Yi, although with your current state, merely getting through an instance isn’t a big problem, but... the current situation has changed, it’s different now. With the way you are now, you’re not enough to face such circumstances, so you must change, go further than you are now... Then the Sacrificial Fate Path will respond to your change and truly become your power."

Listening to Eve’s words, Xiao Yi looked at the small orb of light in his hand.

"To be frank, the so-called talent ability is actually not an ability bestowed by anyone." Eve continued, "It is in fact an extension of one’s own spirit and thoughts. And the Sacrificial Fate Path, in essence, is the source of inherent rules, but as for what specific rule abilities it will turn into, you currently cannot determine.

That’s why I said you need to go further than you are now, to change. Only when your spirit and thoughts take further steps can the Sacrificial Fate Path respond to your ideas and become set, turning into your brand-new talent."

"I see, I think I’ve got it," Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, it’s like a cultivation game, right? Even if you’ve maxed out your experience and assembled all the materials needed for a breakthrough, you still need to comprehend the path yourself to truly break through."

"...If you want to understand it that way, it’s not wrong."

"But... change." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel troubled, "What kind of change do I actually need to make?"

"I don’t know," Eve immediately gave a quality answer. "I can only tell you that real change can only be achieved through an active shift in one’s own thoughts. The teaching and guidance of others can only have a minor influence and may even lead you astray, after all, others are not you, they can’t truly empathize and understand you. That’s exactly why I can’t give you the Answer."

"You’re right," Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yi had previously said that the Answer to his life should be obtained by himself, he was definitely in agreement with that.

Xiao Yi also recalled something he had said before, and it made him realize something.

Come to think of it, my detective state has disappeared.

Xiao Yi just noticed that the clear sensation, as if he could understand everything, had vanished. It seemed to have disappeared when he left that so-called Analog Horror.

Does that mean, to experience that state again, I would have to be in the midst of Analog Horror?

Xiao Yi didn’t mind; he believed that when the time was right, he would enter that state again.

Rather than dwell on that, it was better to think more about what Eve had said about change.

After all, Eve had given him such earnest advice, Xiao Yi would certainly take it seriously. After all... barring complete ignorance, would his mother lead him astray?

"Speaking of which... Is the detective state a kind of change for me?"

Xiao Yi began to ponder.

Seeing Xiao Yi like this, Eve couldn’t help but smile with relief.

"Exactly, no matter what, never forget to think."

However, Eve also understood that a massive shift in thought often only occurs under the pressure of a massive environment.

With Xiao Yi’s current state, it would be difficult to encounter such a situation.

Could it be that he would need to face the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma and make a breakthrough only then? That would be too late.

Eve felt both troubled and worried about this, but she also knew that all she could do now was to trust Xiao Yi. After all, for so long, Xiao Yi had come this far on his own; he didn’t need her to worry too much.

So, what Eve could do... was to continue to protect him, trusting in Xiao Yi.

At the same time, Eve couldn’t help but remember something.

It was that when she begged the instance creator to change the reward, they had readily agreed.

This surprised Eve quite a bit; she had been ready to leverage their decent relationship and even bribe her a bit to get her to agree.

After all, something like the Sacrificial Fate Path is quite significant; it’s not something that’s usually offered, even in the highest difficulty instances, it’s considered an exceptional reward.

Yet, they had agreed right away, without even a hint of demand.

When Eve asked, she was told:

"Just change it then, actually, someone had already come to me to request a reward change before you. Since it’s to be changed anyway, I just took care of it all in one go, saving you from nagging me all the time."

As for who that person was and what reward they’d changed, she didn’t say.

Eve didn’t really care too much, as long as it was better for Xiao Yi, that was all that mattered.

And Xiao Yi certainly didn’t disappoint her expectations, succeeding in his endeavor.

But soon, before Eve had a chance to take another look at Xiao Yi, she understood that Xiao Yi was about to return to Blue Star, and she would once again part ways with Xiao Yi.

"It seems about time," Eve said, "Xiao Yi, let’s part here."

"Eh?" Xiao Yi paused, looking at Eve, "We’re parting now? No time for even a meal?"

"I’m afraid I must go," Eve said with a light laugh, shaking her head, "Take care of yourself while I’m away."
