My Talent Skill Mutated

In all his years, he had only heard of True Gods but had never actually seen one.

The gap was too great.

On the surface, only the ninth level separated the eighth from a True God. In reality, however, the gap was even greater than the one between an ordinary person and the ninth level.

Looking at Chen Yu, Director Li felt a surge of envy. ’To have met a True God... his future achievements will be limitless!’

Although he knew Chen Yu had the potential to become a True God, it was still just that—potential.

It didn’t guarantee he would become a True God; there was still a huge gap to cross.

Many people had the potential to become a True God, but very few actually succeeded.

...

The car drove on, arriving at the same castle as last time.

The car stopped in front of a large building deep within the castle grounds, and Chen Yu got out.

He had learned from Director Li that this castle was not a True God’s residence, but simply an official office for the Abyssal Administration Bureau.

Meeting the True God here last time had just been a coincidence.

’It was just a temporary stop!’

"Let’s go. The Director-General is waiting for you," Director Li said, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded and followed Director Li into the castle’s main building.

They took the elevator and soon arrived at the building’s top floor.

The elevator doors opened. Chen Yu stepped out and followed Director Li to a room on the top floor.

Pushing the door open, the first thing Chen Yu saw was an old man with silver hair.

He was dressed in a black Tang suit and had a refined, scholarly air.

But intuitively, Chen Yu felt this silver-haired old man was very dangerous.

’He’s not a True God, but he must be at least at the Ninth Level Peak.’

His power was not to be underestimated.

"Director Bai, Chen Yu is here," Director Li announced.

The silver-haired old man looked at Chen Yu and smiled faintly. "Chen Yu, I’ve heard a lot about you. We finally meet. Have a seat."

Chen Yu nodded and sat down. Director Li stood to the side and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Director Bai, is the situation in the Tenth Abyss very serious?"

Chen Yu got straight to the point.

Director Bai, sitting on the sofa, looked at Chen Yu. "Yes, the situation is quite serious. A large number of Undead Creatures have appeared, causing significant losses."

Hearing this, Chen Yu felt reassured.

A large number of Undead Creatures was good news for him.

As long as they weren’t the type like the Undead Flood Dragon, dealing with Undead Creatures wouldn’t be a major problem.

And even if he encountered a special Undead Creature like the Undead Flood Dragon again, Chen Yu would not be afraid.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Several of his Skills needed a massive amount of Source of Life to upgrade, and he couldn’t pass up such a great opportunity.

"Actually, the decision to let you go wasn’t mine," Director Bai said suddenly, looking at Chen Yu.

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Chen Yu looked at Director Bai.

"The great one was the one who approved it," Director Bai said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

"Was it that True God senior?" Chen Yu asked, looking at Director Bai. ’The only one the Director-General of the Abyssal Administration Bureau would address like that would have to be a True God.’

"Yes."

Director Bai nodded.

Chen Yu subconsciously glanced around. "Is the senior here as well?"

At the side, Director Li also glanced around subconsciously, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

Director Bai shook his head. "The senior left not long ago. He’s not here."

"He’s not..." Hearing the answer, Chen Yu inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

Director Li’s heart sank, his excitement instantly deflating.

"A riot has broken out in the Tenth Abyss, and the situation is dangerous. The senior agreed to let you go, but there’s a condition," Director Bai said, looking at Chen Yu.

"What condition?" Chen Yu asked Director Bai.

Director Bai replied, "For safety, we have formed a temporary team. You will be the captain. Once you’re in the Abyss, you can coordinate with each other. And don’t worry, these people are all very powerful. They won’t hold you back."

Chen Yu lowered his head.

’Form a temporary team, with me as the captain?!’

That was something Chen Yu hadn’t expected.

He just wanted to enter this Abyss World to get some Source of Life; he hadn’t thought about anything else.

’I never thought it would be this complicated!’

’So I’ll have to operate as part of a team.’

But on second thought, it was quite reasonable. After all, there’s strength in numbers!

A joint operation would be safer, too.

"Alright, I accept the condition," Chen Yu said with a nod.

Things having come this far, he had no reason to refuse.

Director Bai looked at him and smiled faintly. "In that case, they will gather on the Tenth Abyss island tomorrow morning. Xiaoli will handle the introductions, and you will all act together from then on."

Chen Yu nodded, looked at Director Bai, and asked, "How many people in total?"

"Including you, four in total," said Director Bai.

"That’s it?" Chen Yu was taken aback but didn’t say anything more. A smaller group would be more flexible and easier to manage.

’Experts aren’t about quantity, but quality!’

A single top-tier expert was enough.

A large number of people wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

The more people there were, the more potential there was for accidents.

If an accident occurred, he probably wouldn’t have the capacity to look after so many people.

...

About an hour later, Chen Yu left the castle by car once again.

Deep within the castle, Director Bai stood at a window, watching the car drive away. He pondered for a moment, then turned and walked over to a cabinet in the room. He pressed a spot on the wall, and the cabinet slid open automatically, revealing a hidden door.

Opening the door, Director Bai stepped inside.

The room was completely empty, save for a single, life-sized stone statue standing silently within.
