Upon hearing Rick Suleiman's words, Howard couldn't help but furrow his brow in concern.
The possibility of awakening another talent with the Supreme Treasure was indeed alluring, yet it filled him with apprehension.
Historically, there were instances of individuals possessing dual talents - normally awakening one and acquiring another through fortuitous encounters.
However, the emergence of a third talent had never been documented.
Historically, there had been those who obsessively collected Supreme Treasures in a bid to awaken multiple talents.
Alas, after awakening two talents, they found themselves unable to awaken a third, regardless of the treasures or tools employed.
In one tragic case, after absorbing ninety-seven such treasures, an individual amassed such bizarre energies within themselves that they self-destructed.
Had the Starry River Map been solely a talent-awakening artifact, Howard might have outright refused it.
