Mummy Evolution-Chapter 111: Seeds of Insight?!

[Kemet Soldier's Insight Seed]

[This is a Seed of Insight. All the memories and insights regarding battle that this soldier gained throughout his life are stored within this corpse puppet. Whoever destroys it can absorb a portion of those insights, with the amount gained depending on their own capabilities and experience.]

Wow, this is useful!

Sett's eyes glinted.

This was beneficial even for Sett, but the true benefits from the Insight Seed came for Zarah and Zainah.

They were not well trained in anything!

If Zarah could get the Insight Seed of a soldier regarding battle, she would no longer have to struggle so much with controlling her own strength!

So a Tomb Slave would transform into an Insight Seed once they are upgraded?

It is the crystallized insight regarding battles, is that because the Tomb Slave was originally a soldier?

What would happen if he upgraded a scholar?

Would he get an Insight Seed with memories and insights regarding education?

If the girls could get an Insight Seed from a well educated person, they might even become educated themselves!

That was a big weakness they had.

Moreover, Sett began thinking of a way to use this.

This was a way to skip slow training and study at an untold times faster!

Sett became incredibly excited.

Isn't this a clear way to achieve the best in all regards of life?

If he had to become the best painter, just kill the best painters and make them his Tomb Slaves, then throw them into the Door. He would get an Insight Seed!

With all their insights, he would easily become the best painter.

If he had to become the best poet, do the same but with poets!

Then, Sett stopped himself from feeling too excited and waited. Thinking deep down that he already was the best poet.

He was narcissistic that way.

Anyway. Poetry was subjective.

And anyway.

A Tomb Slave would become an Insight Seed once upgraded. Then, what would happen when an Insight Seed is upgraded?

"The second question for you, regretful baldy," Uncle Door said with a sigh. "You are a very straightforward and righteous person—I feel you at least think that is the case. But even you surely have darkness in your heart. All humans, at their core, are selfish after all."

The old man shook his head. "I might have darkness in my heart, but I am no evil man!"

The Door chuckled. "There is no good and evil to me. Just true and false. So, I am asking you a simple question—if I told you that you can go back in time if you kill a child, will you kill a child?"

The old man immediately became silent.

He had always considered himself a just person.

A good man.

He never had the urge to hurt anyone. Never liked cruelty.

Didn't that make him a good person?

But now—he finally saw something hidden in himself.

It was not that he was a good man, not that he would never hurt another person.

It was just that he had never seen a use in hurting others.

The moment hurting others became useful—killing a child and travelling to the past—the thought of never hurting others vanished from his mind.

Ah… I am so old and it is now that I realize I am not a good man.

It was just that he had never needed to hurt others.

Even he could have dark, murderous intentions.

People either die a hero, or live long enough to see themselves become the villain.

"If I could indeed move to the past by killing a child…" The old man clutched his heart. "I would wish to do it. My heart will crave to kill the child.

"After all, this is my life's biggest dream. But my conscience will not allow me to do it, I will live with the desire to kill the child until I die, then I will regret not killing the child!"

The people who heard it immediately became disgusted.

"Heh, what a hypocrite!"

"So old but still so selfish!"

"You'd want to kill a child? You are no better than the bandit from earlier! Your heart is so evil even though you look so gentle."

"Such people were among us? UGH!"

The man shrugged. "I do not care what you all think. It is as simple as that. All I care is that I am happy with my own heart, that I won't regret it. And you say I am evil because I have the intention, but if I don't do it and ignore my own evil intentions, am I still evil?"

Sett sighed.

Uncle Door nodded. "You are true to yourself. You will have darker intentions but you will not take action on those intentions. The answer is the truth. You know what you truly want!"

Sett took a deep breath.

That was admirable, everything said and done.

Then, it went into the door again and returned with something. It was no longer the body of the soldier, but a humanoid figure the size of a palm. It rested in its hand, its eyes blank but flashing with varying images—flashes of a life in the army!

Sett's breathing quickened.

[The Fruit of Insight from a Kemet Soldier]

[This crystallized essence contains the battle insights of a Kemet Soldier. Whoever absorbs it will gain all the combat knowledge this soldier accumulated throughout his life. The insights will be automatically analyzed, categorized, and integrated as the absorber's own.]

This was the final upgrade that the soldier could get.

But this made Sett incredibly excited. This level of insight was useless to him, but what if he could get all the battle insights or other insights from stronger beings?

"The final question for you, Regretful Person," Uncle Door said smugly "I have been more lenient to you than others, but the third question will be hard. If you can answer it though, I will tell you the way to make even your impossible dreams possible!"

The old man was tempted.

Sett looked silently from the side.

"The question is simple. What will make you sell your conscience? What will make killing an innocent child worth it for you?"

The old man took a deep breath.

Then, he sighed.

"If killing an innocent child would let me return to my youth with the strength, courage, and knowledge I have now. AND if I could then forget that I ever did such a thing. I'd sell my conscience for a life where I could undo every regret and prove my worth to the world."

The Door Spirit nodded.

It threw the

"Now, you get a chance to ask me an impossibility and I will tell you how to make it possible!"
