Chapter 196
Without hesitation, amidst the still-rumbling fury of thunder, Ye Bai opened her personal career panel in her mind.
**[Forbidden Apostle] (Tier 3)**
**Career Traits:** Wish, All-System Disintegration Return, Magical Bloodline
**Effect:** Constructs a type of magical ability you have never used before (Tier 3).
**Description:** A fictional faith, the apostle of taboo.
**Current Career Skills:** None
**Skill Points:** 1
Compared to the interchangeable classes of Whisperer and Disruptor, the transition to the Tier 3 career of Forbidden Apostle must be placed at Tier 3 to build Ye Bai's strongest career system.
As described, the career trait of the Forbidden Apostle is called "Wish." After the transition, players can make a random determination to gain one magical ability from those they have never used before, making it a hidden class that tests luck.
The "skill pool" from which abilities can be randomly drawn is also related to the current tier. If one transitions at Tier 1, the likelihood of randomly obtaining a basic elemental magic type is greatly increased. Besides the fact that Tier 1 has no skills, many powerful spells do not have Tier 1 skills.
By keeping the Forbidden Apostle at Tier 3, after the Whisperer and Disruptor, Ye Bai minimizes the potential abilities that could appear in the "skill pool" to the most controllable state.
For a Tier 1 career, the random ability is a gamble; for Ye Bai at Tier 3, it is already a known answer.
The Whisperer masters eight basic magical elements, and through the Disruptor, the selection range is further narrowed, leading to one magical ability that has not been used by Ye Bai—
**Spatial Magic.**
Spatial magic exists as a high-tier, rare magical system in the myriad realms, typically explored only by a few elite magicians. The widely used **[Spatial Teleportation]** is merely the most basic application of spatial magic.
This type of magic has immense potential in control, damage, and survival. Normally, to learn skills related to spatial magic, one must complete extremely complex and difficult tasks, and these tasks are often faction-specific; mastering one means you cannot learn others. However, the Tier 3 Forbidden Apostle gains a series of three unique skills.
Moreover, and more importantly, if Ye Bai masters spatial magic in the game, it is likely she will be able to apply it in reality, greatly enhancing her ability to cope with the crises she might face.
**[In the Wish...]**
After successfully transitioning to the Forbidden Apostle, the career trait automatically triggered, entering a brief loading phase.
Unlike the previous two transitions, this time, as the career trait activated, Ye Bai felt an overwhelming sensation.
She felt as if her spirit had detached from her body, suddenly rising, her consciousness elevated to an infinite height, transcending to another level, as if she could observe her own body and everything in the myriad realms from a different perspective.
Countless fragmented voices filled her ears, like a multitude of people converging, speaking in hushed tones.
In a daze, Ye Bai felt as if she had flown beyond the world, witnessing countless living beings moving within a small world, resembling a cluster of similar yet distinct bubbles tightly packed together.
Among these bubbles, Ye Bai sensed a connection with one of them—it was Bai Ye Town, or rather, the Tree of Creation of Bai Ye Town...
At the center of all the bubbles was a core that had lost its brilliance, gray and broken.
In an instant, Ye Bai could confirm that this core was the Divine Realm.
Moments later, her infinitely elevated consciousness began to sink and return. As the duration of **[Thunder Fury]** came to an end, a new career prompt echoed in her ears:
**[Wish completed; you have constructed a time magic ability!]**
**[Your career skills have been updated]**
Indeed, it was spatial... time magic?!
Back on the quiet banks of the Blood River, Ye Bai, just coming to her senses from the "Wish" trait, felt as if struck by lightning, frozen in place upon receiving the notification.
No, wait, is there really a time magic system in the myriad realms...?
With this notification, Ye Bai saw her career panel change once more.
The description of her career trait transformed into **[Time Magic]**, and at the bottom of the **[Career Skills]**, instead of the previous "None," there were now three new skills that Ye Bai had never seen before—
**Breakpoint Leap, Bullet Time, Time Rewind.**
Moreover, when Ye Bai, her mind buzzing, checked the details of these skills, she encountered an extremely unusual sight.
**[Breakpoint Leap]: Cooldown time 10 seconds; consumes 150 spirit energy points.**
**[Bullet Time]: Cooldown time 30 seconds; continuously releases at a cost of 20 spirit energy points per second.**
**[Time Rewind]: Cooldown time 24 hours; consumes 1000 spirit energy points.**
Clearly, these were three career skills, yet after their names, there were only descriptions of cooldown times and consumption, lacking the detailed descriptions typical of normal skills.
What on earth is going on...?
Ye Bai stared at these three skills without descriptions and tentatively activated the first ability, **[Breakpoint Leap]**.
In that moment of using the skill, Ye Bai experienced an indescribable sensation; the world before her suddenly resembled a slow-motion animation, becoming a series of frames.
This feeling lasted only a moment before fading, and as Ye Bai looked down at herself and then around, the banks of the Blood River remained in disarray, and she herself had not changed at all.
...
The remaining players who had hastily fled the banks of the Blood River finally waited for the terrifying thunder to cease.
They exchanged glances for a moment, then, as if on cue, approached the now calm riverbank.
The first player to arrive immediately noticed the figure by the riverbank.
It was Bai Ye!
Recalling the terrifying thunder magic from moments ago, just seeing Bai Ye standing there sent shivers down this interstellar agent's spine.
In the next instant, this player saw Bai Ye standing still, but her figure suddenly vanished for a moment, only to reappear quickly again.
In the silence, the scene was quite eerie.
This was not an old-school platform game; "frame drops" was a term rarely used by interstellar players, and this player didn’t even realize they could describe the scene as such.
Instinctively rubbing their eyes, the player first thought they had misseen.
After rubbing their eyes, Bai Ye's figure indeed did not exhibit the same strange changes as before, and it seemed she noticed the sound of players approaching. She merely cast a faint glance in their direction before her figure faded and disappeared.
After unleashing the terrifying magic that killed the BOSS of Landu City, Bai Ye logged off.
The sky was a deep blue, gradually lightening, with hints of dawn appearing in the distance.
At this moment, other players arrived one after another, and the scene that unfolded before them made them collectively gasp.
The Blood River had returned to calm, but the riverbank was in utter disarray, as if it had weathered a terrible storm—indeed, this description was the truth.
Scattered across the ground were the remains of various fish and river creatures blasted from the water; the larger ones were reduced to mere limbs, while some smaller ones that had narrowly escaped death still twitched their tails on the ground.
A few players stood in stunned silence for a moment, then suddenly one of them reacted, rushing down to the riverbank to quickly gather the scattered river creatures.
Even the smallest mosquito is still meat; with so many river creatures, they could sell them for a profit!
Seeing this, the others quickly came to their senses and joined in the effort to collect the river creatures, all the while silently thanking nature... no, thanking Bai Ye for the bounty.
...
After logging off, Ye Bai, with a serious expression, began searching the star network for information about the BOSS of Landu City.
As expected, the players who had previously died reported back to their factions after recovering from their spirit injuries, sharing the news of Bai Ye's appearance in Landu City to confront the BOSS.
From a pile of newly surfaced data, Ye Bai finally discovered why no players in Landu City had completed the transition task for the Forbidden Apostle before.
