Too bad... Lin Ke doesn't like things with low certainty.
The so-called luck and fortune can often be broken by strength.
Let's pass.
Another light spot comes into view.
"Immortality."
What the heck?!
Immortal bloodline?!
If it were the past life, Lin Ke would have chosen this without hesitation.
Immortality, isn't this just the alternate version of eternal life?
However, in this world, it's said that many professionals live long lives, and reaching a high realm can even be near eternal.
For example, Andrew, who created the professional system, has been alive for countless years now.
So-called immortality doesn't seem necessary.
Besides, literally, a corpse can be immortal, too.
If this bloodline means "eternal youth, undying, indestructible, unhurt, disease-free, eternally healthy mentally, never lonely or depressed, and having wealth and power to get whatever one desires," then that's a different story, Lin Ke would definitely choose it instantly.
He slightly regrets and shifts his gaze.
Next one.
"Emotions."
OK, next one.
"Leadership."
This should mean having the charisma and qualities of a leader, like the aura of a king?
Perfectly suited for commanding roles like a general or a king.
After contemplating for a moment, Lin Ke looks at the next one, after all, he needs to review everything before deciding.
Next one, which is the sixth and last one.
"Knowledge."
Knowledge...
Upon seeing this light spot, Lin Ke almost immediately makes a decision in his heart.
Knowledge!
Give me endless knowledge and I shall move the world!
Before seeing knowledge, he had considered choosing strength, or leadership, or luck; if worst comes to worst, immortality isn't bad either.
But with knowledge, everything else becomes unimportant.
Bear in mind, knowledge is not just what's in books, but also the means to acquire knowledge and the ways to master it.
If Lin Ke can acquire knowledge faster, understand knowledge deeper, and use knowledge more flexibly, then this bloodline is truly powerful.
Moreover, countless smart individuals from Earth's past life found that knowledge, regardless of place, is always more important than pure force...
After pondering again in space, Lin Ke finally focuses his consciousness on the bloodline representing "knowledge."
Decided!
Knowledge!
"Buzz..."
Seems to sense Lin Ke's desire.
That light cluster representing "knowledge," like the sun, instantly contracts inward, collapsing into an extremely compressed light spot, then immediately charges into Lin Ke's body.
No feeling.
Then...
"Hmm? Why am I still here?"
Lin Ke merged with the "knowledge" bloodline, expecting to find himself in Soul Space, but nothing changed.
Previously, Ove mentioned that choosing a bloodline would lead you away from darkness and form a true Soul Space.
Wait a minute.
Thinking for a while, Lin Ke suddenly realizes a possibility...
"Could it be I get to choose another one..." Lin Ke's heart starts to race slightly.
He is Lin Ke, born as Lin Ke Azen.
But this is his soul from Blue Star's past life!
And for this lifetime?
You should know that a fertilized egg likely has a soul as it starts developing, right? When he was born, it was at the very beginning.
So, he could have two bloodlines?!
Lin Ke's plus Lin Ke Azen's?
Twin Martial Souls??
Excited.
"No, calm down; choose wisely..."
Lin Ke forces himself to calm down and begins analyzing the other bloodlines.
Strength, luck, immortality, emotions, leadership.
First, remove emotions; relationships based on emotions might be genuine, but they aren't necessarily better than those based on interest.
In the past life, weren't there enough people who betrayed friendships for interest, love for lust, family for interest and survival?
Besides, he prefers to use sincerity to earn emotions, rather than bloodline affinity.
Next to eliminate is immortality.
Indeed, as some people's ultimate moments arrive, failing to break through will render time precious, and without that breakthrough, it's death.
But Lin Ke more so believes "ten thousand years is too long, only strive for the day."
A vegetative state for ten thousand years and a regular life for one hundred years, which do you choose?
Rather than choosing immortality and then being captured and studied by a stronger being for ten thousand years, it's better to be that stronger being oneself.
Although not necessarily immortal, at least it's exciting.
The next three are going to be difficult.
Strength, luck, and leadership.
The strength bloodline will inevitably make his path of cultivation smoother. Of course, it might also increase his physical strength.
The same goes for leadership. A sovereign of a faction will have more cultivation resources than a loner.
The role of luck is self-evident. Sometimes ninety-nine percent of effort can't compare to one percent of luck.
Though generally, both are indispensable.
Hmm... it's so hard to choose.
Lin Ke was a bit troubled, carefully analyzing the pros and cons.
"Alright, you're quite important."
In the end, after much thought, he looked towards the "luck" bloodline.
With knowledge, luck is also important.
In a past life, some scientists did experiments hundreds of times, while some lucky ones got results in just one try.
Not to mention in battle, a slight deviation could mean the difference between life and death.
Luck is extremely important.
Lin Ke focused his consciousness on "luck."
"Buzz..."
The lucky spot of light contracted violently, then rushed into Lin Ke's body, and then...
Silence.
"Damn... how could it be... is it possible to have all six?!" Lin Ke wasn't excited this time but shocked.
Is there another soul in my body?! How can I still choose?!
Lin Ke didn't feel joy; instead, he felt a chill down his spine.
Three souls in my body? Damn it...
Wait!
No!
The reward for the previous system task, the light orb formed after the death of the King of Gods!
Could it be the King of Gods isn't dead?!
No, he should be dead already, that light orb is something else, otherwise, he would have been possessed long ago...
So, is this the reward for the first system task? An extra bloodline?
Lin Ke fell silent, then pondered in the silence, and chose leadership in his thoughts.
In the end, the "as an adult I want them all" expectation did not happen.
After choosing "knowledge," "luck," and "leadership," the endless darkness and light spots receded, revealing a point of light, infinitely large yet infinitely small, and his soul fell into it.
Soul Space.
His Soul Space was like a small piece of yellow land, with three small saplings newly sprouting in the center.
These were his three bloodlines!
He glanced at his bloodlines, squatted down, and touched them.
As he touched them, three pieces of information appeared respectively.
"Knowledge," "Luck," and "Leadership"!
Lin Ke nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he could freely enter and exit the Soul Space, so he exited it.
...
In the study.
Ove was silently watching Lin Ke on the ground.
Knicks and John, who were behind Lin Ke, were lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back, unconscious.
Lin Ke opened his eyes and saw Ove smiling ironically, paired with Ove's furrowed brows, it looked extremely strange.
"You awakened your bloodline in one minute and five seconds." Ove's brows furrowed, yet the smile remained.
Lin Ke didn't understand the meaning, so he hesitantly asked, "Is that too long or too short?"
Ove shook his head, "Kid, it's too long. Even those noble offspring who can autonomously choose their bloodlines don't last more than ten seconds."
He pointed at John and Knicks, "Most people's bloodline enlightenment, just like these two kids, happens in an instant."
"And for those who can choose, they can only have up to a minute to think, yet you had one minute and five seconds... Did you awaken two bloodlines at once?"
Ove speculated wildly.
Indeed, but actually three... Lin Ke silently mused.
"Awakening two bloodlines... is it rare?" Lin Ke asked hesitantly again.
"Rare? It's more than just rare!"
Ove's body was surrounded by layers of purple current, like little snakes darting around, clearly showing excitement, "Two bloodlines, really two bloodlines... Andrew's Leg, the great pioneer was right after all..."
As he spoke, Ove rose from his seat, pacing back and forth in the room, but still not approaching Lin Ke, showing his excitement.
After a while, Ove snapped back to reality, stood still, and said with a smile yet serious face, "Remember, don't tell anyone about this, except your father and me, no one else can know!"
Lin Ke realized the gravity of the situation, but he hadn't planned to tell too many people anyway.
Originally, he intended to hide it from Ove, because the fewer people knew about such things, the better.
Who knew Ove actually knew, but now seeing Ove's character was clearly good, even warning him.
"To prevent those two kids from knowing, I sent them into a sweet dream the moment they opened their eyes. Next, next... oh right! Test your talent!"
Ove was evidently too excited.
Then he took out a crystal ball and placed it on the floor.
Talent testing.
ps: It's the end of the month, rather than holding onto those vote tickets, hand them over, and I will pray day and night for you to pass every test
