"If the additional attribute of Divination Tarot Card·Sun can enhance the coverage range of skills, then couldn't it be used to augment the range of my Death Wave Skill and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill, and perhaps even extend the range of my Indestructible Golden Body as well as Technique Immunity?"

From this point of view, Zhang Yanhang felt that the bonus to skill coverage range was indeed very useful for him. After all, even if nothing else is considered, just the increase in Death Wave range was already beneficial. The larger the range, the more monsters he could kill in a single strike, and naturally, his hunting efficiency would correspondingly increase.

"But I just don't know if this bonus to skill coverage will also increase the energy consumption after enhancing the range?"

Nonetheless, as Zhang Yanhang currently still had a robust amount of Physical Strength, even if it did increase energy consumption, it wouldn't be a big problem. At most, it would slightly increase by a percentage, and he was surely able to afford that.

"Even though the Divination Tarot Card·Sun is indeed very useful to me, should it really consume nearly six thousand points of my Energy Value?"

Although Zhang Yanhang had reviewed the attribute list of the Divination Tarot Card·Sun, he still couldn't understand why a mere blue quality tarot card could use up so much of his energy. In the Main World, with so much energy, he could probably get his hands on Fourth Tier Level heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Forget it, I might as well take a look at the other items."

Because he couldn't make sense of it, Zhang Yanhang decisively chose to give up thinking about it for the time being and opened the next item slot.

[Item Two]

[Option One: 9 points of Legendary Essence]

[Option Two: 1,600,000 Soul Points]

[Option Three: 3,200,000 Soul Points]

"Good grief, one option is three hundred and twenty million soul points. If you could get this many soul points from just any ordinary monster, there would be no worry about meeting the requirements to level up, but sadly, this is a Lord's Treasure Chest, and there's only one. And, unfortunately, the soul point option is listed alongside the Legendary Essence option.

Three hundred and twenty million soul points; if I choose this, my soul point balance could instantly soar to twenty million. However, compared to soul points, Legendary Essence is more important to me."

To a certain extent, Zhang Yanhang didn't lack soul points. At least compared to Legendary Essence and Ash Source, he truly didn't lack soul points. It was always after having an excess of soul points that he could gather enough Ash Source.

So, Zhang Yanhang was definitely going to choose Legendary Essence this time. After all, his initial goal was to clear out the big Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, and it wouldn't make sense to prioritize soul points over Legendary Essence, right?

Of course, mainly because, although three hundred and twenty million soul points seemed like a lot, it was just okay relative to his current balance of soul points.

He had a balance of fifteen million soul points before the treasure box, and after opening the box, it wouldn't be a problem to even reach eighteen million soul points. So, these three hundred and twenty million soul points could only grow his soul point balance by about one-sixth. Important, yes, but not that important.

Moreover, now just to upgrade a skill, Zhang Yanhang needed three million soul points. In the face of the skill upgrade requirements, three hundred and twenty million was not a lot at all, even a little less.

After all, once he promoted to Fourth Tier, the requirements for skill upgrades would only get higher. By then, three hundred and twenty million soul points probably wouldn't even cover half a level up, so, more or less, this amount wasn't that significant.

But Legendary Essence was different. Only with Legendary Essence could he rank up, and just that reason alone was enough, as ranking up has always been the most important task for Zhang Yanhang, always the top priority without ever changing.

"It's just that, this time they are actually giving nine points of Legendary Essence? Isn't that a bit too much?"

At first, Zhang Yanhang thought that even three points of Legendary Essence would be a lot, even one point would have been acceptable, but unexpectedly, they gave him triple his best expectations, receiving nine points of Legendary Essence from just one option.

"I only need one point of Legendary Essence to promote from Third Tier to Fourth Tier, so, logically speaking, a normal Fourth Tier Lord's Treasure Chest shouldn't give so much Legendary Essence, which means this definitely has something to do with the God of Sun.

The God of Sun not only greatly increased the soul point value of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant but also the value of the Lord's Treasure Chest. She is truly a good person."

To repay the great kindness and favor of the God of Sun, Crotina, Zhang Yanhang felt that if he ever encountered her true form or something, he would strive to kill her with one punch rather than torture her with normal attacks like this time.

[Item Three]

[Option One: Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone (High-density Compression), Golden Quality, Artifact]

[Option Two: Crimson Iron Queen Ant Hormone Gel (Magic Power Extraction), Dark Gold Quality, Artifact]

[Option Three: 9 points of Ash Source]

"Ash Source?! How could it drop Ash Source?! It's just a mere Lord's Treasure Chest, but it actually produced the Ash Source, a reward exclusive to Ashen Treasure Boxes?"

There need be no other reason, Zhang Yanhang knew this was definitely still related to the God of Sun, Crotina. Otherwise, why would the Drop Treasure Box of a mere Peak Fourth Tier Lord Monster yield Ash Source?

"And it's freaking nine points of Ash Source?! That's already equivalent to the yield of three Ashen Treasure Boxes! Could the rewards of God Slaying be this significant?"

If the other divine beings were also like this, then Zhang Yanhang felt he might have to engage in God Slaying more frequently in the future. Well, provided he could find them.

"But at the end of the day, why can obtaining the Ash Source be achieved by simply killing a projection of the God of the Scorching Sun? Is there some special connection between the gods in the Ashen World and the Ash Source?"

After all, anything that can be obtained from a treasure box must have a certain connection with the monster itself. Therefore, it's hard for Zhang Yanhang not to think in this direction, yet he truly can't figure out what the relationship might be.

"However, although I don't know the exact relationship between them, there is no doubt that I seem to be on the verge of advancing to Fourth Tier, right?"

Zhang Yanhang needs seven Ash Sources and one Legendary Essence to advance to Fourth Tier, and all of these will be fulfilled after opening the Lord's Treasure Chest later. Moreover, his various skills have reached their peak, so it's indeed time to begin advancing in Rank, or rather, it's a very suitable opportunity to do so.

"Who would have thought that in just one day, I would have advanced from the Peak Second Tier to the Peak Third Tier, and I'm about to advance to Fourth Tier immediately..."

Originally, Zhang Yanhang had estimated a week for his promotion, which he thought was short enough, but as it turns out, he had still underestimated his speed of advancement. Why wait a week when one day was enough?

"Moreover, it's actually only the thirtieth of October today, so does that mean I could advance to Third Tier before the end of November?"

Zhang Yanhang's original plan was to advance to Fourth Tier in November and then to Fifth Tier at the end of November or early December. But now, it appears that Fourth Tier is within reach, and perhaps Fifth Tier might be attainable by mid-November?

"No way, no way, could I advance to Sixth Tier by the end of this year? Wouldn't that mean I could be invincible in the Main World this year?"

Well, Sixth Tier and such, for now, are still a bit distant for Zhang Yanhang and not something to consider just yet.

"Compared to advancing in Rank, the Dark Gold Quality Hormone Gel of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant in Option Two is useful to me as well, as it could increase my Charm attribute value by eight points, but it is still not as valuable as nine Ash Sources."

The main reason is that Zhang Yanhang is not really short on Charm attribute points; his Charm attribute has already overflowed by seventeen points. Moreover, he's not only not short on Charm attribute points but even Free attribute points aren't particularly needed right now, either. So, although the Dark Gold Quality Hormone Gel of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant is valuable, it has to be cast aside in front of the Ash Source.

"Speaking of which, these two recent options really offered a choice of value. The thirty-two hundred thousand Soul points and the Dark Gold Quality Hormone Gel of the Crimson Iron Queen Ant that I discarded, if put in the past, would definitely be must-choose options. But in this case, they can only be abandoned in the face of greater benefits."

But although the options from the Lord's Treasure Chest truly gave him a sense of making a choice this time, he still prefers the kind of straightforward options from before that didn't require much hesitation.

"So, when will Multiple Choice finally be unlocked? The name of the Talent is 'Multiple Choice', but I can only make single selections, which is simply outrageous!"

For now, Zhang Yanhang could only hope that after advancing to Fourth Tier, the Multiple Choice Talent would quickly unlock the true Multiple Choice function, and then he would not need to be entangled and hesitant anymore. He could simply choose everything valuable or desired.

Zhang Yanhang remembers that behind Multiple Choice, there has always been an unlocked '???', which he believes is most likely the Multiple Choice feature. However, it has been unattainable simply because his Rank was insufficient.

But he felt that there was indeed a high possibility of unlocking his potential during this promotion to the Fourth Tier, especially since the transcendence to the rank of an Immortal Land at the Fourth Tier is, according to the group owner, a stage where a qualitative change occurs. If it couldn't happen at the Fourth Tier, then perhaps he would genuinely have to wait until reaching the Fifth or even Sixth Tier for it to unlock.

[Item Four]

[Option One: Large Crimson Iron Ant (Ant Queen), S-level Quality, Talent]

[Option Two: Hell Lord (God of the Scorching Sun, Crotena)[Incomplete], S-level Quality, Talent]

[Option Three: Divination Tarot Card - Pope[Weak] (Gate of Truth), Purple Quality, Equipment]

"Holy fuck! An S-level Talent? Can you really just open up an S-level Talent now?! And not only did the God of the Scorching Sun, Crotena, offer an S-level Talent, but the Crimson Iron Ant Queen also has an S-level Talent? Is it really that terrifying?

In the past, obtaining an S-level Talent required so much effort to enhance, and now I just need to make a slight move of my hand to obtain it directly?! Well, maybe I can't actually obtain it..."

After a closer look, Zhang Yanhang realized that this S-level Talent named [Hell Lord (God of the Scorching Sun, Crotena)[Incomplete]] was just like the Crimson Iron Ant Queen's Talent, both being Racial Talents, which he couldn't use at all.

"I knew it was too good to be true to just get an S-level Talent directly... Such a pity, I was still thinking that if I used this Talent, I might have been able to inherit the Divine Position and Divinity of the God of the Scorching Sun, Crotena."

Although the Sun God Crotena was a weak Racial God, it was, after all, related to the Sun, and Zhang Yanhang felt that if he could really inherit it, his potential for development would be quite substantial.

He would just need to keep defeating other gods associated with the sun to enhance his power, or rather, upgrade the level of his Talent. But no matter how he thought about it, a Talent related to the sun would certainly be powerful. So, if he could truly obtain it, it would probably substantially increase his strength.

"But it seems that Sun Gods are generally quite strong, and I might not be able to defeat them. Moreover, since Talents can only be upgraded through merging with the same type of Talent, it's very likely that I'd have to use the Talents of Sun Gods or divine beings of that sort for the merge. But the issue is, if I can't win, I can't enhance my strength, and if I can't enhance my strength, I can't win. It's a vicious cycle."

Considering that the God of the Scorching Sun's Divine Position included the element 'flame', Zhang Yanhang guessed he could probably hunt down some Fire Gods to achieve his goal, although, under most circumstances, gods specializing in battle like Fire Gods would also have quite high combat power. So, raising his power level would likely still be quite difficult.

"Moreover, the more crucial issue is, even if I could defeat them, whether I can find them is another problem. There are thousands upon thousands of Divinities, and the probability of finding the right one is extremely low. Even though I have multiple choices to utilize as a cheat, it would probably still be quite laborious to enhance it.

Furthermore, killing a Sun God or a Fire God would only yield one Talent, and normally you'd need at least three to perform an upgrade. Who knows how many Sun Gods and Fire Gods I would need to slay in order to upgrade the Talent to the highest level; this truly seems to be an overly daunting task."

From the perspective of difficulty, this task wouldn't be much of a problem as long as his strength was sufficient, but the key issue was that if he truly undertook this effort, it was bound to be incredibly time-consuming, and time was exactly what Zhang Yanhang lacked the most at the moment. Therefore, this task was indeed exceedingly difficult for him.
