Chapter 931: Chapter 696: The Principle of Multiple Constructs_2

"This refers to the specific numerical constructs."

"Currently, the most I’ve heard of reaches the quint-element, but this isn’t something achieved overnight. Virtually no one chooses a quint-element structure to form their core when advancing to the Fifth Tier."

"Although it can save a lot of trouble down the road and may even allow for simultaneous absorption of multiple world fragments if fortune smiles."

"But that’s simply too insane."

Sonia took several deep breaths to regain control over her body. That constant awareness of the presence of another entity within her body was truly indescribable.

Yet, to help Roger understand the internal core structure, she had no other choice under these conditions.

Roger listened intently. Without guidance, he wouldn’t acquire this information even in a hundred years if he relied solely on trial and error.

Integrating what he understood, Roger’s insight into the path beyond the Fifth Tier deepened significantly.

Due to differences in energy levels, some worlds naturally give birth to Fifth Tier beings. Take this world, for example—giant dragons are a species born alongside the world’s creation.

But in another world, reality’s constraints often mean the early stages of Fourth Tier are the limit. Even alternate spaces integrated with reality cannot naturally produce Fifth Tier beings.

Under such circumstances, pursuing greater strength requires alternative approaches.

Roger previously speculated about the origin of this advancement method’s inheritance. Now he realized it wasn’t a universal phenomenon. Just as there are high-energy worlds like this one, there are also low-energy worlds akin to reality.

And it’s clear that worlds of similar nature aren’t few. Transcendents living in such worlds must choose similar directions to progress.

If reality were considered a Fourth-Level World, then from the perspective of energy distribution, worlds below Fourth Level likely abound.

No matter how many options exist below Fourth Tier for advancement, upon reaching the Fifth Tier, all paths converge toward the fusion of world fragments.

Even in this higher-energy world, there must be a limit to what it can accommodate. Once that limit is reached, it naturally leads to the ultimate choice.

The process of building a core provides beings like Sonia with new options, while the multi-element theory delves into one’s capabilities and potential.

This concept is easy to grasp, akin to a game where characters of the same level may differ—some wear only one piece of equipment, while others can equip five.

The disparity in combat power is staggering.

More critically, those with lower abilities have scarcely any freedom in swapping equipment. In contrast, their adversaries not only can wear more but can choose pieces tailored to specific situations.

The difference is self-evident.

"No one would start with the quint-element construct. Even tri-element constructs are exceedingly rare. Most, like me, opt for dual-element or uni-element constructs."

Guided by Sonia, Roger felt his spirit enter a wondrous realm.

Everything there was energy-based, rule-driven.

Different lights streaked across his vision, and Roger carefully discerned them.

"Such a pure method of construction."

A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

When he first arrived in this world, Roger’s growth in strength was almost entirely dependent on the Hunter’s Cabin’s alchemy.

Alchemy is an enigmatic discipline—using common herbs, monster organs, and precise fusion steps, it achieves powerful potions.

But here, all veils were lifted, revealing the raw nature of things directly.

With just a glance, Roger could tell.

The so-called core structure had already touched upon the essence of alchemy.

What he captured here wasn’t mere energy flow but rule fragments or radiance.

This explained why Sonia had been reluctant to reveal her core structure to him.

In different worlds, similar plants and animals exhibit varied functionality, not to mention the myriad treasures.

Yet despite these variations, the core rule radiance remains constant.

Only by mastering this consistency could Roger selectively filter resources.

Instead of haphazardly gathering valerian and ten drops of Mermaid’s Tears—a method prone to formula errors.

And core structures are far more intricate than a simple alchemy potion.

What appeared before Roger was a transparent halo, stretching energy tendrils faintly at both ends.

Around it were countless light spots passing through the halo.

This was Sonia’s dual-element core structure.

She had already completed most of it but required further refinement to form a complete cycle and stabilize the construct.

Once the halo was fully formed, its extended ends could serve as Sonia’s "equipment slots" for absorbing world fragments.

"With each additional element in the construct, the difficulty coefficient rises sharply. The harder the path at the beginning, the easier future unfolding."

Sonia’s voice echoed.

"Take me for example—I opted for dual-element construct upon advancing to the Fifth Tier. Once all structures fused with world fragments, forging a new unit for further progression would be nearly impossible."

"Because that would mean destroying the existing stable structure. A single misstep could collapse the entire core construct."

Roger’s heart stirred, "So your next step can only be to progress from dual-element to four-element?"

Sonia nodded, "Yes, that’s the only path forward."

"When that time comes, it will likely be even more challenging than now."

"I don’t understand how you fully fused with the Eye of Truth, but without a core construct, you’re not yet a true Fifth Tier."

"Take a good look—it will greatly aid your upcoming advancement."

"But remember, don’t bite off more than you can chew. I’ve heard of too many arrogant individuals trying to rush ahead and ending in disastrous failure."

Roger said nothing, humbly accepting Sonia’s advice.

However, in his heart, his doubts multiplied.

"Multi-element constructs?"

It involved understanding power, akin to the path chosen by the Extreme Path Sword Master. Beyond that, it required energy perception, rule comprehension, and even alchemy knowledge.

"Essentially encompassing most knowledge systems in the Transcendent World..."

"If viewed this way..."

Roger thought of the Hunter’s Cabin deep in his consciousness.

"Others sketch triangles or squares, while I seem to be constructing a house. What is this?"

"Architectural self-learning?"

Moreover, these components hadn’t fully fused with him; instead, they became part of the Hunter’s Cabin and could detach at any moment.

A flash of inspiration flickered in his mind. Roger felt as though he had grasped an extraordinary ability. With proper utilization, he could not only strengthen himself...

It seemed... even world fragments could be distributed in batches?

"This truly warrants deeper research."

"What are you doing? Focus your attention!"

Sonia scolded sharply. Roger realized his wandering thoughts had once again affected Sonia, causing her body to kneel down again.

He hurriedly apologized and refocused his attention on the micro-level operations and changes.

During this process, Roger discovered a key issue—even for identical dual-element or four-element constructs, the results varied significantly depending on choices and directions.

Four elements could form a stable quadrilateral but might also yield angular, highly aggressive cross formations.

Coupled with different attributes and world fragments, the potential variations expanded further.

After what felt like an eternity, Roger reluctantly withdrew his consciousness, finding Sonia utterly drained and sprawled on the ground.

Amanda looked at Roger with an odd expression, "What were you two doing?"

"Wasn’t this just to understand core constructs?"

Roger shrugged, "As you see, but things unfolded rather strangely."

Before Amanda could ask further, Roger gestured for her silence, then turned toward the door.

Soon, an elderly figure emerged, "Honored guests, Her Majesty the Queen requests your presence."

The elder bowed deeply in greeting.

"Is it to check on Dora’s condition?" Roger inquired.

"No, you previously mentioned needing assistance. When you meet, feel free to ask."

Suppressing the questions stirring in his mind, Roger nodded, pulling Amanda along to follow.

As for Sonia...

She could rest for a while longer.
