Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 484 - 121.Delta (德尔塔阶)

Chapter 484: 121.Delta (德尔塔阶)

From the moment Li Aozi entered Baizhu Star, he was planning his pathway to the position of [Bishop].

His goal was to reach level 120 and switch his occupation to [Bishop] before descending into the Starry Abyss. This way, as he made his journey back to Azure Star, he could counteract the floating curse from Starry Abyss, while advancing to Kappa Rank along the way.

By that time, he would at least regain the power he had in his previous life. This would make everything much more stable, whether he chose to continue descending or to manage his forces.

To ascend to [Bishop], he needed the basic Arcane Energies of [Weak Force] and [Gravity]. He already had the latter, but he needed to find a specific place to regularly farm the former, which he wasn’t in a rush for.

He could first go and find the Arcane Energy he needed for becoming a [Bishop].

It’s worth noting that starting from [Bishop], he could use Meteor Fall Technique in battles. As the most dominant stage in the Meteor Fall Master pathway, Li Aozi naturally wanted to perfectly showcase the strength of a [Bishop].

The day he ascended to [Bishop] would be the day he dominated the Layer Abyss.

For this, Sequence 56 [Canyue] and Sequence 50 [Brilliant Luster] were indispensable.

As long as he got these two Arcane Energies, Li Aozi would make everyone tremble in fear during his time as a [Bishop], achieving true ’invincibility.’

Even if Modote and Sylia, or others, saw through his Implant Gear body—so what?

As long as he obtained [Canyue], that Arcane Energy could prevent any device from detecting his identity.

Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining [Canyue] wasn’t too high, at least easier than the task for [Weak Force].

"Just right, I got so much experience just now. Truly, it’s heaven’s will."

Li Aozi couldn’t help but sigh. When luck was on his side, even when he felt sleepy, a pillow would be provided.

Enemies from society indeed gave a lot of experience.

Unlike the last encounter with the [Secret Society], this time he crossed both rank and level to kill. When he killed the [White Knight], he only got a measly few hundred thousand experience points, as their strengths were roughly equal at the time.

This time, he accumulated so much experience combined with the ’ascetic’ state stored from plump riches obtained from the players. In the end, he managed to gather sixty million experience points.

He struck gold!

Although Li Aozi wanted to continue such low-level hunting for a while, conditions did not allow it.

Moreover, the growth rate of [society] was too fast, almost as fast as that of the players. Li Aozi dared not be complacent.

Without further ado, Li Aozi directly invested the experience into his main profession—[Star Realm Echoer].

[Main Profession [Star Realm Echoer] has leveled up to lv.80 (MAX)]

[Based on specialties, you gained the following benefits: Charm +26.]

[Total level has reached the promotion standard]

[Advancement tier requirement: Synthesize an Omega tier Arcane Energy.]

"Huh?"

Li Aozi was taken aback.

This easy?

He remembered that the task for ascending to Delta Rank was usually torturous.

It was either killing a Zeta Rank Cosmic Star Beast or defeating a strong contender with Alpha tier Arcane Energy.

But specifically... this?

This was too easy! Not only could he synthesize an Omega tier Arcane Energy, but he could also synthesize a Sequential Arcane Energy.

Li Aozi glanced at the Arcane Energies he had on hand.

At his current stage, the Blood Demon Style could actually retire. Facing Zeta Rank strong contenders, his output was insufficient, becoming a serious problem.

In the Layer Abyss, the Higgs Field was almost universally adopted, severely restricting Arcane Energy.

It was effective against ordinary interstellar civilizations, but Li Aozi worried that eventually, he would clash with a Narrative-Level Civilization.

As his core, the [Gravity] Arcane Energy required ’fantasy’ knowledge from "Perfect Relativity" to pose a threat to a Narrative-Level Civilization.

And coincidentally, the fantasy knowledge was concentrated on the side of the Narrative-Level Civilizations...

Considering his lack of output, Li Aozi decided to switch from the Blood Demon Style to a more mainstream tactic.

This was the most commonly used tactic on the [Conqueror] pathway.

However, today was truly his lucky day.

It was a transition, Li Aozi didn’t plan to delve deeply into this tactic.

"[Inscription Saint Swordmaster] can be kept. [Death Link] will be crushed. [King’s Carriage Displacement], [Mountain Armor], [Pegasus Power]—these have all been replaced by the professional abilities of [Star Realm Echoer]."

Other than using them to synthesize the [Armor of Leoz] tactic, he rarely used these Arcane Energies.

He decided to keep Nomi’s [Blood of Eternity] and Qiu Ran’s [Spontaneous Combustion].

For the rest...

Li Aozi looked at [Severing Life].

This Arcane Energy had nice prospects.

Li Aozi thought for a moment and spent 200 point tickets in the [Mall] to buy a [Super Gene Target], to fix the gene of this Arcane Energy, giving himself a higher chance of reawakening it.

Then, Li Aozi crushed it without hesitation.

With so many high-level Arcane Energies crushed, Li Aozi calculated and felt a bit tight, so he also crushed [Eye of Truth].

——He was now a Copper Hunter and had faced the [Secret Society]. Appraisal fees were expensive... let them be.

Li Aozi wasn’t short on money.

[Eye of Truth] had become widespread among players, and he wasn’t the least bit nervous facing pseudo-humans anymore.

Since it had completed its historical mission, its value for him was also limited.

After crushing [Eye of Truth], Li Aozi gathered enough Gene Fragments.

"Alright, next, bear witness!"

Li Aozi took a deep breath and invested all the Gene Fragments into [Spontaneous Combustion]... right next to [Physical Strengthening].

......

[Your dominated Arcane Energy has reached its limit. Do you wish to continue investing Gene Fragments?]

[This might lead to unforeseen consequences.]

[A powerful will seems to sense your approach and is calling out to you. You are unlocking power from the deepest strata of the Starry Abyss.]

[Do you wish to continue?]

[Yes.]

[Complying with your will, Sovereign.]

Li Aozi’s body seemed to be affected by a powerful force. An invisible might lifted him from the water, yet this was not the power of Arcane Energy. The Higgs Field couldn’t interfere with this influence. This power moved like an iron flow, clashing destructively within his body, tearing his original flesh to shreds, only to swiftly overhaul and replace it.

Li Aozi closed his eyes, quietly feeling the moment.

[...&&*131 (garbled)]

[(Unable to decipher)]

[Ah, you have finally reached this step, Child of the Primordial Abyss. A supreme existence calls you forth. It is time to claim this precious inheritance!]

[I am Sorao Piarinus, you may call me [Primeval Heavenly Sovereign].]

[My beloved child, you and I are both envoys of the stars. This is the power the cosmic grants you. Now, take back what is rightfully yours!]

[——Arcane Energy Ascension——]

[Your dominate Arcane Energy [Physical Strengthening] has ascended]: [Sequence 82: Bloodline Perception]

[Rating]: Sequence Omega (Ω, the final Greek letter)

[Introduction]:

"For hundreds of trillions of years, all life has relied on the inheritance of flesh and genes. What your ancestors could give you had long been inscribed in your genes."

"Wealth, appearance, talent, strength ceiling, species, skin color—no matter what kind of legend one strives to be, it ultimately boils down to bloodline theory."

"They went to great lengths seeking out their ancestors, trying to prove their similarity to dragons or Titans."

"Now, you have the right to say ’no’ to that so-called superior bloodline."

Arcane Energy performance:

Active Activation—This Arcane Energy has no active activation state, always in effect.

You have become the ancestor of all bloodlines, unlocking the complete potential in your genes. Your body is impregnable, and your strength immense. One day, perhaps the stars and heavens will be yours to command.

When activating Arcane Energy, you gain Strength equal to your [Charm] attribute.

When activating Arcane Energy, your bloodline attains the ’supreme’ trait.

[Supreme]: Any bloodline and species checks are directly bypassed, guaranteed success.

Passive State—You are the noble progenitor of bloodlines. You can breed offspring with any species, and the offspring will inherit only your bloodline.

Your bloodline is deemed universal, can be used on any species, and unlocks certain taboos.

Every 30 natural days, gain 1000 health points.

————————

That was it.

[Bloodline] gave average attribute bonuses. A few abilities were ones a [Mutant] could gain through mutation direction.

Really ordinary.

But no matter how ordinary, this was a Sequential Arcane Energy synthesized by Li Aozi, and in the current environment, it was indubitably dominant.

"This Arcane Energy is secondary. The key point is—this."

[Promotion task completed]

[Individual Ascension in progress...]

[You have thoroughly transcended natural laws. Welcome to the extraordinary world!]

[Ascension complete]

[Exclusive to Dominator System: Your lifespan +200 natural years.]
