Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Divine Talent, Undying and Immortal



The Undead Lord was a pinnacle tier-nine powerhouse of the undead faction, reputed to be the closest being to a deity.

Moreover, he possessed a terrifying talent: Undying and Immortal!

If John could merge the Undead Lord's corpse with this human, both he and the Tree of Life might be reborn!

With this thought, the old man raised his hand, and the Undead Lord's corpse flew over, floating above John.

"Black Turtle, how dare you!" A roar echoed, and a wisp of soul floated out of the corpse. It was the remnants of the Undead Lord's soul.

The elder, known as Black Turtle, was not surprised. He smirked coldly and said, "Undead Lord, you're still alive, after all. But your death has become even more valuable!"

Saying this, the elder pointed a finger, and a force of primordial ice gathered, forming deep blue ice needles that aimed at the wisp of the remnant soul.

"Old bastard, you dare!" The remnant soul struggled and writhed, but it couldn't leave the confines of the corpse and could only watch as the ice needles closed in.

Thud!

The ice needles penetrated the remnant soul, instantly freezing the intangible soul, which then shattered into fragments of ice.

"Hmph, if you were at your peak, I would be wary. But now, you're nothing but a pushover." The elder sneered disdainfully, manipulating the Undead Lord's corpse as he continued his spellcasting.

A radiant glow enveloped the unconscious John and the Undead Lord's corpse.

The elder's expression grew serious as he began to gradually extract the life force from the corpse and infuse it into John.

"Huh? Divine talent, Undying and Immortal!" The elder exclaimed in astonishment as he perceived the Undead Lord's talent and swallowed hard.

In the end, he restrained himself.

The temptation of divine talent was too great.

No wonder the Undead Lord dared to challenge deities with his tier-nine strength.

With such a talent, he was almost impossible to kill.

"You're truly lucky, boy," the elder sighed. He no longer hesitated and forcefully separated the Undead Lord's talent. Then, with a single strike, he shattered the Undead Lord's corpse. Without the divine talent's enhancement, the corpse was no longer indestructible.

The elder focused his concentration and controlled a wisp of light and shadow, slowly integrating it into John's body.

It was the Undead Lord's divine talent: Undying and Immortal.

"Huh? There's still a remnant soul?" The elder was surprised. He sensed that a trace of the Undead Lord's remnant soul was still within the light and shadow.

At that moment, the remnant soul broke free from its restraints and charged towards John's body.

"Not good!" The elder's face went pale with shock. This despicable creature was attempting to return to life through the corpse.

It was too late to stop it. In an instant, the remnant soul had already merged with John's body. "Haha, old geezer, thank you! I really like this new body!" The Undead Lord's voice echoed. The talent encased in the light and shadow also smoothly integrated into John's body. "Damn it!" The old man was furious, realizing he had been tricked by the Undead Lord. Even after so many years of death, the Undead Lord had managed to retain two wisps of his soul. A divine talent indeed!

"Sorry, kid!" The old man gritted his teeth, disregarding his own injuries, and forcefully separated a wisp of his own soul, attempting to merge it into John's body to stop the Undead Lord.

The Undead Lord's power was terrifying. If he were to be resurrected, the continent would be thrown into chaos again. Even if it meant destroying John's body, the resurrection had to be stopped.

Bang!

The old man's soul wisp struck John but was immediately rebounded.

He felt dizzy, a trickle of blood seeping from his mouth. Staring at the unconscious John in disbelief, he muttered, "What's happening? Undead Lord, is this your doing?"

The old man assumed it was the Undead Lord's trickery.

"Power of reincarnation? How is that possible?" The Undead Lord's terrified voice echoed from within John. "Kid, what are you?"

"You old fool! Did you know about this and set me up?" The Undead Lord cursed, his voice growing weaker until it disappeared entirely.

The old man was left bewildered. He had no idea what was happening inside John's body.

Enduring his injuries, he moved closer to check.

John was still unconscious but seemed to be out of danger.

"Power of reincarnation? What is that?" The old man pondered, recalling the Undead Lord's fearful exclamations, filled with confusion.

The human before him seemed to be full of secrets, yet he couldn't uncover any of them.

"Forget it, being alive is what matters." The old man decided not to dwell on it further, turning his attention to the Tree of Life.

By now, the Tree of Life had sprouted new leaves, vibrant with life, and had been reborn.

Not only that, but the mist of Death Land had dissipated, replaced by a vast life force that revitalized the barren land around it.

Feeling content, the old man sighed, "This is no longer Death Land, but a land of life. That kid truly turned a misfortune into a blessing."

He looked at the unconscious John on the ground.

He had acquired a divine talent, Undying and Immortal.

Moreover, he had signed a contract with the Tree of Life, sharing its life force. As long as the

Tree of Life remained intact, this human would indeed be an undying existence.

...

Meanwhile, outside, the Elven Land was in chaos.

Sini and Tracy were in shock, watching as John suddenly disappeared.

Sini immediately returned to the real world to check on John's status.

John was still connected to the game, but no matter how much she called out to him, she

couldn't wake him up.

Sini had a bad feeling.

In the world of Gods, attributes and abilities could carry over to the real world,

It meant that real danger could occur.

Sini was terrified. Seeing that John remained unresponsive, she reluctantly returned to the

world of Gods.

"Sini, how is he?" Tracy ran up to her, anxious for news.

Sini shook her head, her face pale and despondent. She feared something terrible had

happened to John.

She regretted ever letting him help the elves.

Sini felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart.

"Don't worry, the master will be fine," Avis reassured. "I have a pet contract with him. I can

sense that he is still alive."

"Really?" Hope rekindled in Sini and Tracy's hearts.

Avis nodded. He could feel John's soul fluctuating, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, but it

had not dissipated.

He believed the mist from Death Land could save the Tree of Life, and if that happened, John would be safe too.

However, Avis wasn't completely sure and silently prayed for his master's safety.

Just then, Anna began to wake up. She looked around in confusion. "Where am I? Am I dead?"

With the Tree of Life gone and the Elven Land drastically changed, Anna didn't recognize her

surroundings at first.

"Anna, you're awake!" Sini and Tracy exclaimed, rushing to her side.

If Anna was awake, it meant John might be okay too.

"Sini, Tracy, are you dead too?" Anna asked, still disoriented.

Smack!

Tracy lightly hit Anna on the head, annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're

not dead, and neither are the elves. It was John who saved you all."

Anna rubbed her sore head, eyes wide with realization. "I'm... I'm still alive? But where is the

Tree of Life?"

She looked around at the desolate Elven Land, noticing the absence of the Tree of Life.

However, seeing the other elves awake reassured her that the Tree of Life was still alive. Avis glanced at Anna and explained, "The master took it to Death Land."

"Death Land..." Anna was shocked and couldn't believe it. "The master can enter Death

Land?"

Avis gave Anna a look but didn't elaborate.

It had no fondness for the elves, even though it was the dark elves who had wronged and

imprisoned it.

Curious, Sini asked, "Anna, what is Death Land?"

Anna had calmed down by now and explained, "It's the sacred land of the dark elves.

However, after the invasion of the gods, the dark elves were almost completely wiped out, and Death Land disappeared along with them. I didn't expect that the benefactor could enter

Death Land..."

Her curiosity grew, and she looked at Avis, but the dragon showed no inclination to explain

further.

She refrained from asking more.

...

Meanwhile, in Death Land, John had woken up, staring in shock at his new talents.

[Lifesaving Talent: S-rank. When struck with a fatal blow, you will retain 1 HP and be

invincible for three seconds.]

[Undying and Immortal: God-rank talent. Upon death, the soul remains intact. As long as the body is not destroyed, absorbing massive life energy will result in resurrection.] John remembered that the lifesaving talent had been Plundered from the orc leader. "So you're saying this Undying and Immortal talent belonged to the Undead Lord? And you

used the body of the Undead Lord to save me?" After listening to the old man's explanation, he still couldn't believe it.

Falling unconscious and waking up with a god-level talent seemed too good to be true.

The old man smiled and nodded. "You could say it was a blessing in disguise. With the Undying and Immortal talent, plus the life-sharing contract with the Tree of Life, you now have an endless source of life energy. If you can find the Elven Spring to nourish the Tree of

Life, you will become truly immortal."

The old man sighed with admiration. Apart from this young man, the only beings capable of true immortality were probably the gods themselves.

After a long pause, John finally grasped the old man's words.

But what he said next startled the old man.

"Old sir, does this mean I can kill the gods?"

The old man's eyes widened. It was the first time he had heard such a shocking statement.

Even ninth-rank powerhouses didn't dare to challenge the gods, yet this seemingly weak human dared to speak such bold words.

"Don't be reckless, boy," the old man warned, seeing that John was serious. "The methods of the gods are beyond comprehension. They might have ways to kill even you. Just focus on your training. While slaying gods might be ambitious, you should have no trouble standing against

them."

John merely nodded, not giving a direct response.

Standing against gods was something he had done in his past life.

This time, he aimed to slay them.

No matter how high and mighty those beings might seem, if they had life, they could be

killed.

Just as he, with his Undying and Immortal talent and life-sharing contract with the Tree of

Life,

But he could be killed if someone destroyed the Tree of Life and annihilated his soul.

In this world, nothing was absolute.
