Qin Siyang hesitated for a long time.
In the end, he still didn't take a bite.
He really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Besides, he found a perfect substitute.
The brain of the Thunder Snow Wolf.
Qin Siyang admired his own thinking immensely.
Too clever.
If he could eat the brain, who would eat the intestines filled with that stuff?
One bite of the brain went down his throat, and the improvement effect was actually even better than eating other internal organs.
Besides, the brain's texture was tender and smooth, melting in the mouth.
Refreshing and not greasy, it even left Qin Siyang reminiscing about its taste.
It was simply a delicacy of the mortal world.
'From now on, when eating divine corpses, I'll eat the brain first!'
Just as he was about to finish eating the brain, a sudden wave spread through his entire body.
The wave kept expanding, as if a great flood was sweeping through his body and mind.
He felt a surge of heat rushing out from his heart, flowing through his veins as they pumped continuously, spreading throughout his entire body.
That heat carried immense energy, making every cell in his body feel as if it was ignited. Dying in the heat, then being reborn from the ashes.
He felt power gathering and expanding inside him, filled with energy that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
But in the end, this energy fused with his flesh and blood, becoming nourishment for his body's evolution.
Then, his skin began to emit a faint glow, illuminating the pitch-black hollow of the Thunder Snow Wolf's skull like a firefly, lighting up the surroundings.
Qin Siyang stared at himself in amazement.
He didn't understand what was happening.
During his previous sequence level advancements, he had never experienced such a bizarre phenomenon.
'Could it be that advancing from Sequence Level Four to Sequence Level Five is a qualitative leap?'
He couldn't help but look forward to what he would become after leveling up.
As the glow on his skin grew stronger, his blood seemed to be infused with new vitality, flowing more rapidly and powerfully. Qin Siyang closed his eyes and could clearly feel his muscles growing rapidly, each one becoming firmer and more powerful.
At the same time, his bones also became tougher in the process, as if they were turning from ordinary stone into indestructible refined steel.
The strengthening of his flesh and bones didn't affect his agility. When he tried to move his steps, he actually felt that his footsteps had become incredibly light, as if his body had turned into a feather.
As his body grew stronger and the glow on his skin faded, he felt a powerful surge of energy rush into his brain.
Moments later, his senses became sharper.
He could even hear the wind outside the Thunder Snow Wolf's skull.
His vision had reached a new height, allowing him to see every detail in the darkness with clarity.
When the sequence advancement process was finally complete, Qin Siyang stood where he was, feeling his brand-new self.
A completely refreshed sensation.
No, he should say that except for his thoughts remaining the same, everything else in his body had been completely replaced.
[Sequence "God Eater" advanced]
[Digesting gods will make you stronger]
[Current Sequence Level: 5, Earl of Digestion]
[Skill: Blood Drink. Skill Description: Can digest gods even when eaten raw.]
[Skill: Violence. Skill Description: For ten minutes, strength, agility, and physical toughness increase threefold. During this period, all pain is negated.]
[Skill: Duelist's Medal. Skill cooldown: 291 days.]
[Skill: Banquet Domain. Skill Description: Within one minute after consuming a god, the user can teleport to any open area within a twenty-meter radius.

[Skill: God Mimicry. Skill Description: After consuming a god's remains, the user can activate one skill that the god possessed once within one minute. The power and strength of the skill depend on the user's overall ability. The same god's remains can trigger 'God Mimicry' a maximum of three times. Cooldown time: one minute.]
Qin Siyang stared at the newly acquired skill [God Mimicry], his eyes gleaming with excitement.
'This skill…'
'It is ridiculously overpowered.'
'It can actually copy the skills of gods.'
'This means if I take a bite of the Thunder Snow Wolf's flesh, I can breathe lightning from my mouth?'
'Or if I eat a bite of the Ghost-Faced Heron's meat, I will gain a powerful regeneration ability?'
'A god-tier skill!'
Although he could only use [God Mimicry] three times for the same god. But outside the safe zone, there were countless gods.
There would always be new ones appearing.
At this rate, he'd never run out of uses for this skill.
Qin Siyang was so excited that he almost jumped up.
It was as if he had obtained an ability binder. One filled with an infinite number of skills.
'Isn't this basically invincibility?'
Qin Siyang took a deep breath.
His mind was already envisioning a future of total freedom and domination.
'It's easy to see that in the not-so-distant future, the Qin family will become an unignorable force in the safe zone.'
Though right now, the Qin family consisted of only himself. 9ne man with no worries beyond his own hunger.
But there was no need to rush.
Everything would fall into place.
Qin Siyang suddenly felt sentimental.
Thinking back to just over four months ago, he had been nothing more than a hopeless slum student.
After the college entrance exam, he would have been struggling to survive, barely getting enough to eat.
Who could have imagined, that in just four short months, he has already reached the peak.
'What is there to thank for all this?'
Qin Siyang lowered his head and glanced at the calendar on his phone.
[Blue Star Era, April 10, 2010]
[Western Calendar, Saturday]
[Lunar Calendar, Gengyin Year, February 26—Auspicious for travel and wealth]
He nodded approvingly.
'That's right.'
'Today is indeed an auspicious day for travel.'
'And most importantly, this is all thanks to fate's arrangement.'
If the skills from Sequence Level Five were already this amazing…
Then once he advanced to Sequence Level Six, wouldn't he be able to reach the heavens?
Qin Siyang immediately decided. He would no longer worry about wasting points.
He would keep eating.
However, after finishing off the remaining half of the Thunder Snow Wolf's brain, Qin Siyang realized that he was still incredibly far from Sequence Level Six. The gap hadn't closed at all.
This left him confused.
He had clearly felt his strength increase.
But his sequence level progress had not advanced.
'What is going on?'
He closed his eyes again, trying to sense the gap between himself and Sequence Level Six.
After carefully examining his body's condition, he was stunned.
The road from Sequence Level Five to Sequence Level Six…
Was completely cut off.
Right now, as a Sequence Level Five being, looking up at Sequence Level Six felt like standing on the ground and gazing at the sky.
He would have to cross an insurmountable chasm between heaven and earth to advance.
And devouring the Thunder Snow Wolf's brain had merely built a few steps at his feet.
It seemed like he was closer to the sky. But in reality, he was still insignificant.
Unlike before, when he could clearly feel himself getting closer to the next sequence level with every advancement. Now, he was completely lost.
He had no idea when he would reach Sequence Level Six, no idea how to reach it, and no idea if his current path was even the right one.
A strange sense of helplessness surrounded Qin Siyang in the darkness.
