Chapter 131: Chapter 66: The Secret of the Eighth Sense; I’m Turning on the Hacks! (Part 1)

Inside the Ophiuchus Temple, Alex slowly opened his eyes. His gaze no longer held its previous icy coldness; instead, it possessed a profound depth that had seen through the very concepts of death.

Before him stood the God of Medicine, Asclepius, whose expression was now somewhat solemn!

No one struck by his ultimate technique, Life Deprivation, had ever survived. Alex was the very first.

Alex examined his own hands, a knowing, light chuckle curving the corners of his mouth.

"So, this is the Eighth Sense!"

Humans were born with the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Above these five senses were the Sixth Sense, the Seventh Sense, and the Eighth Sense!

The specific manifestations of awakening the Sixth Sense included various superhuman abilities: manipulating elements, predicting the future, flying through the sky, tunneling underground, telekinesis, and mind-reading.

Awakening the Sixth Sense was the qualification required to become a Saint.

Awakening the Seventh Sense meant integrating the previous six senses into one, allowing the physical body to surpass the speed of light. Every casual movement carried immense, world-shaking power.

The Seventh Sense was also the absolute minimum requirement to become a Gold Saint and don a Gold Cloth.

As for the Eighth Sense, it was also known as the Alaya Vijnana!

Having died once, the so-called Alaya Vijnana held no secrets in Alex’s eyes.

After a human died, their soul would lose the first seven senses and gain the Eighth Sense, perceiving everything in an ethereal soul form!

Everyone possessed the Eighth Sense, but the vast majority of people could only awaken it after death.

After Alex awakened the Eighth Sense in the Underworld, he was reset to his state ten seconds prior by the Hourglass of Time. Having fully experienced the state of death, utilizing the Eighth Sense was now as natural as breathing to him.

Alex now realized that the Eighth Sense was not merely a pure boost in combat power, but a profound comprehension of the very essence of life!

Although achieving the Eighth Sense didn’t bring an intuitive, direct increase in his attributes, it granted him three miraculous abilities.

The first was: Active Storage—the ability to store the seeds of all universal laws and methods within oneself.

The second was: Passive Storage—the ability to be nurtured by the first seven senses to form the power seeds of all laws.

The third was: Ego Storage—also known as Self-Attachment Storage.

It sounded incredibly profound and esoteric, but Alex encountered absolutely no obstacles in understanding it.

This was primarily because his attribute panel had translated these three abilities into intuitive, straightforward system prompts.

[The Hunter has comprehended the secret of death, acquiring the ’Omnipotent Mastery’ ability. You can now acquire all abilities from any Reincarnation World through learning or plundering. There is no longer a skill slot limit!]

[The Hunter has acquired the ’Attribute Allocation’ ability. You may freely increase or decrease any of your own attributes at any time, provided the total sum remains unchanged!]

[The Hunter has acquired the ’Soul-Body Unity’ ability. You may separate your soul from your body at will and infuse your soul into Divine Artifacts. The destruction of either the soul or the body alone will no longer result in the Hunter’s death.]

When other Saints awakened the Eighth Sense, they merely gained the ability to bypass the laws of the Underworld and enter the realm of the dead with their physical bodies.

But for Alex, the enhancements brought by the Eighth Sense were nothing short of paradigm-shifting.

The main reason was that, besides the four basic attributes, he simultaneously possessed Soul Power and Divinity.

His attribute panel had undergone a massive change. Plus and minus signs had appeared next to all his attributes.

Alex suddenly noticed that there were also plus and minus signs next to Divinity. A spark of curiosity arose in him: Could Divinity also be converted into other basic attributes?

What would the conversion ratio between Divinity and basic attributes be?

With a thought, Alex experimentally tapped the minus sign next to "Divinity," watching the value drop from 30 to 29. Immediately after, he lightly tapped the plus sign next to "Strength."

In the very next second, his Strength attribute skyrocketed instantly from 11.53 million to 16.53 million. A majestic, boundless surge of power flooded his limbs and bones, making him instinctively clench his fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.

Instantly, Alex’s eyes widened to the extreme... ’Holy shit!’ he exclaimed internally.

Alex was speechless for a long time. A single point of Divinity could actually be converted into five million points of basic attributes!

In other words, if he converted all 30 points of his Divinity into Strength, that would equal 150 million points of Strength!

As long as he wished it, any single attribute could instantly skyrocket fifteen times over!

Even if he evenly distributed this Divinity across his four basic attributes, each attribute would easily break past the 50 million mark!

Only at this moment did Alex truly understand why the Eighth Sense was also known as the Realm of the Gods.
