Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

388  387: True Nature of Omniscience (Bonus Chapter)
As Corey approached the temple in the distance, he distributed some of his thoughts to his stars of consciousness while also assigning some tasks to his stars of consciousness.
Although there were several things he wanted to do, for example, he wanted to study the body of the abomination, study the crimson symbols on his axe, and know more about the layout of the mountain he was on and what was around the mountain.
He also wanted to study the Nightmare Finger he had kept in his Tri-Pupil Eyes. However, despite having all these thoughts and desires, there was a singular thought that was mainly on his mind.
'Nina, please continue what you were telling me about the true nature of my talent.'
To Corey, nothing was more important than knowing what the true nature of his talent was. Ever since the beginning of the apocalypse, Corey always had a feeling that the wishes that were given to the inhabitants of New Earth were not given wishes for free.
It was not really an instinctual feeling, but more of 'common sense.'
A lot of people knew that nothing was given out for free, especially if that thing was something precious. No matter what, there would be a price for such a precious thing.
However, every single New Earthling was given the opportunity to make a single wish, and there was seemingly 'no limit' to the wish one could make.
Because of this, Corey was able to obtain a very powerful talent called Omniscience without paying a price.
Or had he paid a price and he did not know?
The act of Nina telling him that he had the soul origins of the dead gods of his universe in him made Corey's mind come up with so many thoughts, and each thought was not positive or optimistic in any way.
[Corey…]
When Corey heard Nina's voice, he was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time Nina had called him by his name.
[... I know you're worried, however, you still need to calm down. If you're not calm, you gain nothing.]
"I'm calm," Corey replied immediately with a stoic expression.
[You're not. Your mind is a mess. It's obvious you're not calm at all. Your energy flow is a mess, and your sea of consciousness is a raging storm.]
Corey furrowed his brows slightly.
"Tell me about the true nature of my talent."
[...]
[Fine.]
[Just like I said before, those 'things' you call your Stars of Consciousness are not actually stars or objects, they're the soul origins of the dead gods of your universe.]
[I'm sure the Paragon Ancestor already told you that the Supreme Ancestor is a Multiverse Conqueror. The Supreme Ancestor loves to conquer universes, especially universes with high potential. After conquering these universes, he either chooses to nurture them or absorb them to increase his strength.]
[According to what I know, your universe is a universe with high potential, and the Supreme Ancestor chose to conquer and nurture your universe.]
[The gods of your universe fought against the Supreme Ancestor, and most of the gods of your universe perished in battle. Some were allowed to live, however, they were now under the rule of the Supremes and the Supreme Ancestor.]
[The Supreme Ancestor created the Universal System, and then he slowly began to introduce it into the worlds of your universe.]
[Once you leave your world, you would most likely encounter places where they'll refer to the dead gods of your universe as The Ancient Gods or The True Gods, and the gods who were made after the creation of the Universal System would be referred to as The New Gods.]
[The core ability of your talent is Record. Currently, Record gives you the ability to obtain the information and stats of anybody who is at a lower tier than you, at the same tier as you, and those who are three tiers above you.]
[What you don't know is that Record does not just obtain this information from anywhere, it actually obtains it from the soul origins of the dead gods in you… and also a part of the Universal System.]
[The reason why Record can show you the stats and information of beings that you record is because the soul origins of the dead gods are able to analyze the beings you record, and due to the immense knowledge and experience each dead god has, the analysis is extremely accurate.]
[Once the soul origins of the dead gods analyze the beings you record, the Universal System then computes the analysis for you to be able to see it as you see your status window.]
[Because of your talent, you actually have a minute and almost negligible authority of the Universal System. It's also why your Brand level increased by a single level after you obtained your talent.]
From the moment Nina started explaining the true nature of his talent, Corey had stopped walking, and he was completely focused on Nina's words.
He was completely certain that what Nina was telling him was something he would most likely have never found out unless he reached a very high realm of power.
He wasn't completely sure, but he had a feeling that very few people knew about the presence of the Supremes, and also about the fact that the Universal System was created by the Supreme Ancestor.
Not only did he know that most of the original gods of his universe were dead, but he also knew that everybody in his universe was not in control of their destiny.
In fact, there was a possibility he was also the same.
"So… Is there a possibility of these dead gods coming back to life? Is there a possibility of their soul origins influencing my decisions? And are these soul origins a threat to my life?"
These were the main thoughts Corey had the moment Nina told him about the true nature of his talent, and this was also his main fear.
Just thinking about how there was a multitude of unknown dead gods in his body filled him with a fear he rarely felt.
He knew nothing about gods. He did not know what they were capable of nor did he even know what their tiers were.
However, what he did know was that he was no match for a god, dead or alive.
So, somebody contributed 35 golden tickets. Which means I have to upload 7 bonus chapters.

We've also passed 55 power stones, which means I have to upload 8 bonus chapters in total.

This is the first bonus chapter.

I really appreciate all of you that voted for my book. Thank you so much, each and every one of you.
