System's ability to allow Shava to obtain [Limb Regeneration] was fundamentally different from how Quin had given him [Mental Transmission]. In fact, abilities like [Limb Regeneration] that had nothing to do with mental power couldn't be transferred using [Mental Transmission] at all.

  What System could do to help Shava gain [Limb Regeneration] didn't actually involve transferring the ability. Instead, it was a means of activation.

  Using the [Insect Adaptability] talent in Shava's bloodline, System could activate [Limb Regeneration], assuming Shava's bloodline actually possessed the ability in the first pce.

  Since there was no ability being transferred, when Shava obtained [Limb Regeneration], System's [Limb Regeneration] wouldn't disappear.

  ...

  System's attempt to help Shava using his tentacles had undoubtedly opened up a new direction for his future to take.

  He could use [Mental Transmission] and [Ability Enhancement] to activate Shava's [Limb Regeneration], then he could also use the two abilities to activate some unique abilities for himself from [Insect Adaptability]. Insects, with their strange shapes and habits, had countless unique abilities.

  System thought that this idea was worth a try.

  After thinking for a while, he used his tentacles to wrap up the unconscious Shava and brought her back to an empty chamber in the temporary nest.

  After pcing her down, he checked in on the ant rvae.

  He saw that the first batch to have formed pupae now seemed close to breaking out of them, and he estimated it would take another day or two to for them become adults.

  The male and female ant rvae that System was paying special attention to were currently growing very well. When they saw him approaching, they expressed the same intimacy as before. They didn't feel alienated because of the two days that had passed without contact due to System's metamorphosis.

  After System calmed the rvae and pupae down, he entered a special empty chamber. In the corner of this empty chamber were two golden discs—Quin's eyes.

  System hadn't been able to bring himself to eat the grasshopper queen's body, so in order to fulfill her final wish, he'd finally removed her eyes.

  Using his tentacles to gently wrap up the two eyes, System exited the nest again, spread his wings, and flew straight up into the sky at a very fast speed.

  Due to his more powerful wings, his flying speed was now much faster than Quin's had been when he'd first met her.

  As he gradually rose higher, System felt the wind in the air getting stronger and stronger. The powerful wind even carried a severe chill, causing his body to start feeling a little stiff.

  A grasshopper's body was very light, so System found it difficult to maintain his bance in the strong wind.

  At first, he'd pnned to fly upward against the wind. However, after flying for a while, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his body.

  Flying wasn't just based on brute force.

  System slightly modified how he fpped his wings, changing both the angle and the strength of his wing movements. When another powerful gust blew by, System flew with it instead of against it.

  His flight speed suddenly almost doubled. With the help of the strong wind, he rose into the sky even faster.

  As he reached higher altitudes, the air became much thinner, and the temperature grew colder. He didn't let these issues stop him and kept flying straight up into the clouds.

  "I told you before, clouds are just a form of water. Look, it's almost the same as fog..." System remarked silently to himself in the clouds using mental messages.

  When System looked down at the nd below from high up in the clouds, he couldn't help but be stunned.

  Flying had been the dream of mankind since ancient times. It was undoubtedly a wonderful feeling to be high up in the clouds while looking down at the world below.

  Under the smoke-like clouds, System saw the endless gcier mountains thousands of kilometers away, the massive green forest, and the vast grassnd at the edge of the forest on the other side.

  Near a ke, System also saw many groups of butterflies with orange and brown wings flying.

  The [System's Eye] ability that he'd obtained in his third metamorphosis made System's vision extremely powerful. He could even see the entrance of his temporary nest through a gap in the forest canopy, but it was still difficult for him to make out the ants patrolling nearby.

  System looked into the forest and observed carefully. Before long, he found two of the slimes he'd been searching for located in a swamp a few kilometers away.

  And it wasn't only slimes. System also discovered that there seemed to be a vilge of green-skinned creatures more than ten kilometers away from him. He also saw some creatures with dog heads and human bodies, which were somewhat simir to gnolls in a fantasy world.

  The gnolls seemed to be involved in a dispute with the goblins.

  The temperature in the high-altitude clouds was very low, and the air was thin. System only stayed up there for a short while before flying back down.

  After storing Quin's eyes back at the nest, System flew toward the vilge of green-skinned creatures.

  It wasn't that he had any big ideas about the goblins and gnolls. He only wanted to understand the world better by observing the two intelligent races.

  System's first meeting with the green-skinned creatures had been a few days after he'd first woken up in this world. At that time, a wild boar that was emitting fmes from its body had run past him, while three of the green-skinned creatures holding sticks had been chasing after it.

  At that time, his compound eyes hadn't been able to see distant objects clearly, so his perception of his surroundings hadn't been very accurate.

  In fact, now that he thought about it, the fmes emitted by the wild boar hadn't been all that strong. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been getting chased by three small and thin creatures.

  After listening to the Voice of the World, System had gained a deeper understanding of this world's power system.

  The wild boar emitting fmes and the slimes should be creatures that were transforming into magical life, just like him and Quin.

  However, compared to the grasshopper queen and himself, System felt that the magical powers of the wild boar and the slime were somewhat different. They didn't give him the feeling that they had listened to the Voice of the World.

  'Is it because they're the offspring of magical creatures, so they inherited their power through their bloodline?'

  System made a guess, but he wasn't clear about the actual situation.

  ...

  The vilge was full of weeds, and the environment was dirty. As he grew nearer, System detected the smell of feces.

  For the first time, he felt that having an [Enhanced Sense of Smell] ability wasn't necessarily a good thing.

  Perhaps the smell of feces was very fragrant to maggots, but to grasshoppers, it was incredibly disgusting.

  It was clear that these green-skinned creatures didn't have human-level construction skills. They couldn't even build ordinary mud houses.

  The only buildings were some shacks that seemed to have been pieced together randomly out of branches and weeds. That kind of shack may be able to block out a bit of cold wind at night, but it could definitely not withstand rain.

  After nding on the branch of a tree, System listened carefully and observed the interaction and dialogue between the two creatures below.

  There were about twenty goblins in the vilge, and only three gnolls were visiting.

  The gnolls were very strong and stood slightly under two meters tall, while the goblins were short and very thin, with adults only reaching a little over one meter tall.

  The three gnolls patrolled back and forth across the goblin vilge. They were speaking some unknown nguage to the goblins, and the goblins seemed very panicked...
