Qin Shikong's explanation gave Feng Qi a deeper understanding of the power of miracle items.
As far as he knew, there were currently four miracle items.
The first, without a doubt, was the miracle material used to create Little Black.
It granted Little Black an almost indestructible body, immunity to energy attacks, and the terrifying ability to absorb vast amounts of energy.
The second was the Spirit Energy Clan's "holy spirit," essentially a consciousness database.
This granted the Spirit Energy Clan an infinitely accumulating knowledge base. Any newly born clansman could simply "download" the contents of the Holy Spirit Consciousness Repository to gain all the knowledge of their ancestors.
To acquire additional knowledge, one only needed to access the Holy Spirit Consciousness Repository.
As long as this race continued to propagate, the exponential growth of their knowledge would ensure that each generation surpassed the last, making it a godsend for nurturing future generations.
The third was the "bloodstone" being escorted on this mission.
It was clear that the bloodstone was merely a fragmented piece, not a complete miracle item.
In terms of its effects, it was also the weakest among the miracle items he knew of.
But "weak" was only relative to the other miracle items he had encountered.
The small bloodstone, which can enhance the upper limit of bloodline strength, is a miracle item that offers immense benefits to the development of any race.
If the Holy Spirit Consciousness Repository grants a race boundless knowledge,
then the bloodstone grants a race the potential for bloodline growth.
For example, even a pig that consumes enough bloodstones could achieve a terrifying physical growth limit, and its descendants might possess growth potential and physical strength comparable to dragons.
The bloodstone fundamentally strengthens a race's bloodline potential. From a scientific perspective, it enhances the organism's genes, granting the consumer a higher growth ceiling and giving their descendants a better starting point.
The fourth miracle item is Qin Shikong's ability, which he tentatively calls "deduction."
According to Qin Shikong's description, he consumed fragments of this item.
This implies that he obtained an incomplete miracle item.
Yet even in its incomplete state, the ability to deduce the future and glimpse the secrets of heaven is truly godlike.
If not for the fact that Qin Shikong's deduction ability remains in a random mode, difficult to activate at will, he could have altered the course of countless lives and even guided Human Civilization to ultimate victory.
For example, Qin Shikong only needs to continuously deduce his future path and observe which actions can alter it. He can stand on the Reality Line, constantly experimenting with different futures.
However, the imperfect nature of his "miracle-deduction" ability means it can only serve as an auxiliary tool, incapable of truly changing the future.
Beyond the four known miracle items, Feng Qi suspects he possesses two more.
The first is the Narrator—a bodiless entity that has parasitized him, capable of perceiving the outside world beyond barriers and communicating with him on a conscious level.
The second is his ability to extract innate abilities and bloodline evolution points from domain creatures he kills.
This ability is nothing short of heaven-defying, perfectly aligning with the special powers that miracle items can create.
Yet he also entertains a suspicion: perhaps he only possesses one miracle item—the Narrator.
The ability to extract innate abilities and bloodline evolution points might also originate from the Narrator. After all, when the Narrator left this timeline, his talent extraction ability vanished.
Regardless of the truth, Feng Qi is certain he possesses at least one miracle item.
Perhaps it was the residual aura of miracle items that drew the attention of the blue-skinned domain creatures, who were also collecting them, and led to their relentless pursuit of him.
This was further confirmed by Qin Shikong's experience.
Like him, Qin Shikong was constantly being hunted by Blue-skinned Assassins.
Now, a question lingered in his mind:
Which Domain Force did the Blue-skinned Assassins belong to, and how could they craft those magical orbs capable of locating miracle items?
The fact that they had dispersed their clansmen across various locations to search for miracles proved the power of this racial force.
He even speculated that a super domain creature might be behind the Blue-skinned Assassins, strategically collecting miracles to shape the future.
But the answers to these questions would have to wait.
Perhaps he would never uncover the truth within this timeline. Only another version of himself, through relentless intelligence gathering, might ever learn the answer.
Watching Feng Qi lost in thought, Qin Shikong suddenly asked with curiosity:
"The battle in the canyon is so fierce. Why is Liu Yue risking his life to go there?"
Feng Qi immediately replied:
"To save someone."
"Who?"
"Wang Yi."
"Why save her? She's almost certainly a domain creature, and you've already sensed it," Qin Shikong said, his face filled with astonishment.
"She is a domain creature, but she still has value to me. I must ensure she survives for my subsequent plans to unfold."
"Plans? What plans?"
