Chapter 161: 131. Safe Passage

Qiu Ran became excited:

"Fantastic... Nomi, she’s still helping you. You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you, Li Aozi!"

Li Aozi’s eyelids drooped, still in a half-asleep, half-awake state. He could think, but he could not fully control his body.

He wanted to respond to Qiu Ran, but in fact, he couldn’t even completely control his eyelids.

The "Blood of Eternity" arcane energy was somewhat difficult to handle, and it seemed that the Blood of Eternity also needed this kind of ’hibernation’ to repair his genetic damage.

He was quite surprised by the changes in himself.

Pi-level (π, the sixteenth Greek letter) arcane energies were special, with ’π’ being the symbol for the mathematical constant pi, representing an infinite, non-repeating irrational number and carrying the connotations of ’infinity’ and ’endlessness.’

There was a saying about Pi-level arcane energy: if a very ordinary arcane energy could be upgraded to Pi quality, it meant that eventually, it might have the chance to evolve into a brand-new Omega-level quality arcane energy.

After all, Omega-level arcane energies were limited in number, and on average, for every interstellar civilization that was born and perished, there could be a new Omega-level arcane energy emerging.

The "Gravity" arcane energy that Li Aozi possessed was one of the original ten arcane energies, and by the later stages, nearly all of those original ten Omega-level arcane energies could be obtained through fixed pathways.

Newly born Omega-level arcane energies were so rare that, without exception, arcane energies above the Pi level all had pathways to ascend and combine into an Omega-level arcane energy.

Li Aozi thought hard but could not identify the source arcane energy of the "Blood of Eternity."

According to his memory, the ten original Omega-level arcane energies were strictly numbered. He remembered clearly:

Sequence 1: "Chaos" — leading all things towards the increase of entropy and disorder;

Sequence 2: "Void" — controlling and mastering the distance, excluding all matter to create an absolute vacuum;

Sequence 3: "Paradox" — bestowing two completely contradictory attributes upon any object;

Sequence 4: "Fate" — adjusting, guiding, and determining the laws of change and development of things;

Sequence 5: "Lattice" — controlling the structural framework of matter;

Sequence 6: "Strong Force" — having control over strong interaction forces;

Sequence 7: "Weak Force" — being able to manipulate weak interaction forces;

Sequence 8: "Electromagnetic Force" — mastering all electromagnetic fields;

Sequence 9: "Gravity" — mastering the direction and magnitude of gravitational fields;

Sequence 10: "Thought" — the psychic psychokinesis awakened from the mind of a living being.

The first ten initial Omega-level arcane energies laid the foundation for everything; all other arcane energies extended and expanded from these top ten sources.

It’s not to say that the top ten were the strongest; in fact, the expressiveness and harmfulness of most Omega-level arcane energies far exceed those of the first ten... It’s just that after the tenth, arcane energies could no longer be as versatile and thorough as the first ten.

[Perhaps... I could try to create a brand new Omega-level arcane energy?]

Li Aozi was somewhat moved.

The effects of the "Blood of Eternity" were quite special. He looked at the system panel for a thorough examination of the arcane energy’s attributes:

————————————

Dominate Arcane Energy: "Blood of Eternity"

Rating: Pi (π, the sixteenth Greek letter)

[Active Effect]: Your life has an extremely strong tenacity; it longs to persist through a rather selfish means, which may not be a mere blessing but a curse.

Expending 100% of his Arcane Energy, Li Aozi actively stimulated his life’s potential, instantly clearing all his negative status effects and restoring 120% Health Points. (Cooldown: 5 minutes)

(Special note: Excess Health Points will be converted into proportionate damage reduction effects, which will become ineffective when Health Points drop below 100%.)

[Passive Effect]:

Effect One, ’Activated Cells’: When your Health Points are increased, effects such as dismembered limbs or disability will be quickly healed.

Effect Two, ’Indomitable Body’: No matter the fatal injury, you will not die immediately but instead enter a ’Near-Death State’.

While in a Near-Death State, the ability to move or communicate depends on the part of the body damaged. If your Arcane Energy is at 100%, the Blood of Eternity will immediately unleash its active effect once.

Effect Three, ’After a Dark Path Blooms Bright Flowers’: After disengaging from combat for 30 seconds, recover 8% of your maximum Health Points every second.

Effect Four, ’Gift of Eternity’: Your cells can repair all previous damage and negative effects (excluding mental and spiritual damage) through hibernation and deep sleep while maintaining conscious thought. You can only be awakened in case of imminent danger.

Note: For every hour of hibernation, you will gain ten hours of lifespan.

Note: When your Charm attribute is higher than 40 points, you will not suffer the negative effect of cellular hyperplasia.

[Current Development Level]: Contact Level, at this Development Level the Arcane Energy consumption rate is—100%

——————————————

[For a Pi-level Arcane Energy to include a whole four effects.]

Li Aozi became even more convinced of that saying, the Pi-level Arcane Energy probably served as the cornerstone for evolving into the new Omega Level.

Nomi had truly left behind a remarkable treasure for himself.

Although Omega-level Gravity only offered a trivial 8% damage reduction effect, mastering it combined with long-term training proved its power and potential danger to be considerable.

Especially to creatures on the ground, the Gravity ability had an overwhelming advantage. Without an Anti-gravity Device, one could fight across levels, effectively cheeky gameplay.

Beasts like Bayo Kong, even with their immense strength and constitution, would ultimately be crushed by their own weight without an Anti-Gravity Field or Anti-Gravity Device—this was why the environment was of utmost importance; without the right one, a strong body would only become an accomplice in killing oneself.

What could the Blood of Eternity evolve into in the end?

Li Aozi was very much looking forward to it.

After all, no one had truly witnessed such a sight.

Creating a new Omega-level Arcane Energy... that would be something worthy of a Narrative-level epic.

Especially, if he had the chance to resurrect Nomi and personally return her power to her, envisaging the usually sharp-tongued Nomi’s bewildered and uneasy expression—anticipating it was an understatement.

Nomi.

At this thought, Li Aozi suddenly paused.

[Unwittingly, Nomi has helped me so much.]

[After sending Qiu Ran back home, my next stop should be Sky Ring.]

Sky Ring was a good place for levelling up, and while Li Aozi didn’t find it suitable for living and developing, it was a place that had worthy weapons and teammates to choose from.

He couldn’t just keep running around with Meibei, a Third Rule agent, now could he?

Just wondering if there were any powerful Spirit Mediums or Shamans in Sky Ring who could help—Li Aozi admittedly wasn’t too hopeful about seeking help from outsiders.

Nothing personal, but the practitioners of the Mysterious arts were too scarce in Sky Ring.
