Qin MuYe looked at the infant named Ji Shan and couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath: "So terrifying, so terrifying."
Born with five talents, aside from the Heavenly Mandate talent that grants Luck MAX, he also has the standard epic profession talent of gaining an additional talent every 10 levels and enhancing existing talents. Even more absurd is that the skills he gains are at least Expert level, whereas epic professions only grant Advanced skills.
More importantly, Ji Shan is at Level 0, which means that with proper cultivation, he can definitely become a powerful being.
"Can the Heavenly Mandate be an exception?" Qin MuYe's eyes flickered as he pondered whether he could rely on Ji Shan to break the deadlock.
The infant isn't a problem; he has a random dungeon scroll and can find a world to hide in for a decade. Unless it's a world-destroying type, it won't be an issue.
But to make Ji Shan powerful enough, he first needs a good profession.
As a native, Ji Shan can't be a part-timer like Qin MuYe.
"At the very least, it needs to be above Epic level."
Moreover, it has to be created before Ji Shan levels up.
So, the difficulty is quite high. Ji Shan's age isn't just as young as he looks; it's just that his development has been frozen by the Emperor of Demon Machinery.
Fortunately, Qin MuYe checked and found no damage to his body, otherwise, he would have lost a lot.
As for cultivating a white-eyed wolf, Qin MuYe isn't afraid. It's not an adult, just an infant. Guiding him during the growth process will be fine.
He knows his limits in education and won't end up hurting himself.
"I just don't know how Ji Shan ended up here, falling into the hands of the Emperor of Demon Machinery. He can't be this world's Heavenly Mandate, right?"
Qin MuYe is certain that this world's Heavenly Mandate is the Divine Obscure Emperor. His formidable strength allowed him to turn the tide and kill his way out from the clutches of alien insects, demonic machinery spirits, and the three great demons of the Spirit Realm, as well as various sorcerers who aligned with these three major forces, establishing a unified dynasty.
The difficulty is no less than that of the Ming Taizu, who started with a single bowl and fought his way to the throne.
Moreover, this is a world with extraordinary powers, making the difficulty even more evident. Those who didn't grow up have all perished.
So, Qin MuYe speculates that Ji Shan is not this world's Heavenly Mandate.
"An Heavenly Mandate under my command, even if this world can't help me break the deadlock, another world can." Qin MuYe's idea is simple; he wants to be the dominant one!
As the saying goes, a golden scale is not a mere pond fish; once it encounters the right conditions, it transforms into a dragon.
As long as Qin Muye doesn't make the same mistake as the dominant one, there won't be a situation where the dragon's roar shakes the heavens and the world, leading to a hidden journey.
He is not the dominant one, but a genuine person, ready to delegate power and abandon interests when necessary.
As a scholar with no strength to bind a chicken, Qin MuYe naturally understands the importance of specialization and making sacrifices.
The infant opened his eyes, looking a bit confused, but his lively expression made it clear to Qin MuYe that he was indeed a smart child.
"No wonder the Emperor of Demon Machinery kept him; the Heavenly Mandate is indeed extraordinary." Qin MuYe couldn't help but sigh.
He will definitely be a great general under my command in the future, provided he grows up properly.
"Wow~"
After examining Qin MuYe, Ji Shan started crying, causing Qin MuYe to feel a bit annoyed. Why is he crying?
Upon closer inspection, he realized that Ji Shan was hungry.
Being hungry is normal; Ji Shan had been submerged in a nutrient solution, relying on equipment to absorb nutrients through his skin to maintain his physiological functions. While he wouldn't die, he wouldn't develop either, remaining perpetually young and frozen.
So, with an empty stomach, Ji Shan initially didn't feel anything, but as time passed, his body's natural response kicked in, and he naturally became hungry.
Qin MuYe thought for a moment. He definitely didn't have any baby formula, so he could only make do with some nutrient solution for now.
"Black Hand, handle it. Make a baby bottle, and oh, also diapers, formula, and other nutritional supplements," Qin MuYe said, as he had no other choice and couldn't leave.
Because he needed to isolate the Abyssal Power, even though Ji Shan was gifted, he was still just an infant, with only 0-level strength, and couldn't handle the Abyssal Power. Therefore, he had to stay by Qin MuYe's side for constant supervision.
"I need to go to a dungeon world today to raise Ji Shan once I finish my tasks."
Qin MuYe even suspected that he might have been influenced by Ji Shan's maxed-out luck, otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately concluded that Ji Shan could solve the timeline convergence issue.
But even so, Qin MuYe wasn't concerned. Luck was just luck, and he believed that human determination could overcome fate.
Perhaps luck could influence the development of events, but could it also influence a person's character?
Even if Ji Shan couldn't solve the issues of the Sky Net era, he could still be a significant asset to Qin MuYe.
As for the idea of raising him to serve another? That was even more absurd. Firstly, the position of a lord was not inheritable, and Qin MuYe had no intention of usurping or tricking him. He genuinely planned to raise him with care. With such talent, as long as he had a powerful profession and grew up, his future would be limitless.
Not all protagonists were ungrateful or insatiable. If all protagonists were like that, how could they turn the tide?
However, Qin MuYe wouldn't raise him to be naive and sweet either. He couldn't use harsh methods with a protagonist, but rather softer ones, such as family bonds and emotional ties.
Black Hand quickly brought a baby bottle filled with nutrient solution at the right temperature, along with clothes and diapers, all freshly made.
For a 5th-tier lifestyle profession hero, making these items was a minor task.
Even the clothes had attributes, making them a basic treasure.
Qin MuYe promptly arranged everything and fed Ji Shan the nutrient solution. With something in his stomach, and it tasting quite good, Ji Shan gradually stopped crying.
After finishing a small bottle of the nutrient solution, which alleviated his hunger, Ji Shan began to observe the world with his lively eyes.
Judging by his appearance, he was only about a month old. Qin MuYe didn't dare to hold him directly, as Ji Shan's talents were more in wisdom rather than physical strength.
"Tsk, a little genius," Qin MuYe soothed him and then handed him over.
Qin MuYe suddenly realized that there was no one in his territory who could take care of a child. Oh, maybe the heroes who dealt with livestock and farming could help out a bit?
"Never mind, let's just put him down for now," Qin MuYe summoned the second form of the Book of the Sage, the Crystal Beast, and transformed it into a floating platform. He then had Black Hand prepare some bedding and placed Ji Shan on it to lie down.
Ji Shan, who had just been unfrozen and was only a month old, was far too young to be raised at this moment.
"How is the battlefield cleanup going?" Qin MuYe asked.
"All of the Demon Machinery Emperor's remnants have been fully received. The complete destruction of the Spark Source led to the Demon Machinery Emperor's total death. Even the subroutines in other servers have become logically confused due to the loss of the Spark Source."
"The Beyond Heaven forces have been completely eliminated," Black Hand reported.
Qin MuYe also checked the territory's advancement tasks. The requirement to completely destroy a 5th-tier or higher force was now 1/10, and the blood sacrifice requirement of annihilating 100,000 enemies in one go was completed. As for the slaughter requirement of killing 500,000 enemies, he had already accumulated 200,000.
This indicated that in Lord Era, the Beyond Heaven and Sky Net were recognized as different forces, and even the robots that the Demon Machinery Emperor had created were considered enemies rather than part of the Demon Machinery Emperor himself. Even those killed by Hercules and others were counted, even though they were not his own heroes but temporary allies.
This made Qin MuYe feel that the semi-digital system was a bit peculiar, unsure whether to praise it or criticize it for its lack of rigor.
But since it was beneficial to him this time, Qin MuYe decided to turn a blind eye. He would only try to avoid it if it became detrimental to him in the future.
Moreover, to be honest, the number of enemies killed wasn't a significant challenge for Qin MuYe; it just depended on whether he wanted to grind or not.
