He said to the custodian, "Thank you."
Then he asked calmly, "Does this mean I will surely become a godclad?"
The custodian shook his head and said, "No. Talent is the most important thing needed to become a godclad. If you don't have the talent required, no amount of auxiliary potion will help you succeed. But if you've met the requirement of talent, this potion will help reduce the danger of assimilation."
"Many times, people become godclads without the auxiliary potion. Their talent is more than enough to help them become godclads on their own. So an auxiliary potion is important, but it is not as important as talent."
He asked in confusion, "What kind of talent do I need? Is it an innate ability?"
The custodian shook his head again. "Everyone has an innate ability. It might not awaken or not, but everyone has one."
"The talent I'm talking about is more tangible and more quantifiable. This talent is known as the number of souls."
