GAMMT - Chapter 110
Chapter 110: An Unexpected Change
Dongke Hetu truly saw the ancient Split Spirit Wood and saw that it was almost mature.
Although the journey had been turbulent, things were stable for now.
"There are dwarves, too."
Their group was large, and they had escaped the illusion with great difficulty. But they knew the Split Spirit Wood was now being watched closely by the dwarves; a group of powerful dwarves was right under the tree.
The other side had more people and was stronger, so the Dongke Clan didn't dare to act rashly. For now, they could only hide.
"It should mature in about ten more minutes. We'll go out first to lure away the powerful dwarves. Young Master and Second Miss will have their chance then."
The elder seemed very confident in the siblings' strength, and Dongke Hetu and his sister tacitly agreed to the plan.
Time passed, second by second.
Soon, the golden color of the Split Spirit Wood began to split, forming flocculent strands… pale gold and slightly yellow, a tender color. At first glance, it resembled the delicate hue of corn husks, but the strands twisted and intertwined, merging to become vines.
The vines were as brilliant as liquid gold, their texture distinct, intricate, and wondrous.
A total of nine vines were born, each bearing three spiral eye patterns.
This was the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine.
It was ready. Time to move!
The elders of the Dongke Clan immediately shot out. Their movement attracted the attention of the powerful dwarves. Just as they were about to send people to intercept, a figure suddenly appeared.
Lightning crackled down from the sky. A wave of soul-reaping energy heavily injured one elder and repelled another, while a lightning field enveloped everyone.
The Dongke Clan was greatly astonished. Dongke Hetu and Dongke Jin, taken aback, decided against going out. They recognized the lightning user as one of the people who had been chased by the giant python earlier. So where was the other one?
The Dongke siblings had always been cautious and adept at judging situations. They immediately sensed a conspiracy was afoot.
Patience!
Sure enough, two seconds later, just as the dwarves were about to pluck the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine while the intruders were fighting amongst themselves, another dark figure shot out.
"Who's there!"
"Damned humans, courting death!"
The man who had appeared was surrounded by powerful dwarves.
A perfect opportunity!
Dongke Hetu and his sister dashed out, a formation linking the two of them.
The twins' Double Infant Array.
It was complementary, providing a threefold boost to all their attributes.
In an instant, they erupted with speed approaching that of the giant python, reaching the Split Spirit Wood in a flash. They intended to seize the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine while chaos reigned below…
"There are more people!"
"Ahhh, hateful humans, cunning humans, die, die, die!!"
The dwarves were furious and had to split their forces to deal with the two siblings above.
But… just as Fu Chuan, who was surrounded and about to be instantly killed by the powerful dwarves, glanced up at the two with an unreadable expression, she took out the pink, soul-bound bead and crushed it.
Bang!!!
A cloud of pink gas billowed out, instantly enveloping all the dwarves and the two siblings.
This was the accumulated poison of a Charm Demon's entire life.
With this explosion, everyone's desires were ignited… especially the dwarves, a naturally greedy race with desires as strong as those of dragons.
The bead's effect on them was devastating. Even the level 70-plus Orange-robed dwarf experts were stunned, their faces flushing as they roared furiously…
The two siblings were also shocked.
Heavens, what a despicable tactic!!
Who was this bastard?!!
"Quick, inflict heavy damage on your soul!"
Dongke Hetu reacted swiftly, making the same choice Yi Ye Hanzhuo had before. Filled with hatred, he glared at the owner of the poison bead, the only one unaffected by the pink gas.
It was a man, his appearance… somewhat pale, ordinary, a delicate-looking young man.
He quickly harvested the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine, but only managed to cut seven. By the time he reached the eighth and ninth, it was too late. The tips and tails of these two had already begun to separate and accumulate pollen, no longer possessing the essence of a vine. The three-eyed patterns had also vanished.
He turned and left, vanishing into the depths of the rift valley.
The dwarves below roared in anger… and began summoning other nearby dwarves to hunt him down.
Meanwhile, the Dongke Clan experts, enraged that the prize had been snatched away, gave up on Yi Ye Hanzhuo. They protected the Dongke siblings, who had self-inflicted soul damage to weaken the poison's effect, and gave chase to Fu Chuan.
But it was a futile effort. They couldn't catch her; it was impossible.
One group of their experts was controlled by the charm poison, and the dwarves could only howl in frustration.
The other group had to prioritize the more important Young Master and Second Miss, so how could they mount a full pursuit?
Yi Ye Hanzhuo took one last look and melted into the darkness, but he could sense a massive commotion outside the rift valley.
He knew the giant python had indeed been lured away, and it was causing considerable trouble.
She had done it.
This woman he had met by chance, she had actually done it.
However, he recalled their conversation before they had split up.
"You should already know my purpose here is the Tong Lu treasure. If you're certain that what you gain from this trip won't exceed the benefits on my side, would you consider joining forces with me? I'm willing to give you half."
"No, thank you. If I'm not mistaken, Tong Lu is your ancestor, and you must be his chosen successor. You know the location of the treasure that the world cannot find, so my role would be insignificant. You can go by yourself. There's no need to share the benefits with me. We met by chance; may we both get what we seek. Farewell."
The other party hadn't hesitated at all, which left Yi Ye Hanzhuo feeling both helpless and bewildered.
He was born into a family at the pinnacle of power, forced to fight for influence since childhood. Every step forward felt like a beggar receiving an extra bowl of rice.
So he couldn't understand how someone could be so calm and self-possessed.
That included her actions with the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine. She hadn't failed to collect the last two vines; she had deliberately controlled her harvesting speed, leaving two behind to give the ancient Split Spirit Wood a chance to naturally reproduce in the future, rather than extinguishing its lineage.
The reason she had deliberately controlled her speed was likely related to the male identity she had just used.
Such excessive mercy seemed out of character for this person, so she must have been doing it to maintain her persona.
Meticulous, calm, with a measured sense of advance and retreat.
It wasn't that he had never met such people, just that he had never met anyone quite like her.
By the way, who was that man she was pretending to be?
An enemy, or someone she thoroughly despised, he presumed.
"Stop chasing. We can't catch him."
"Something's wrong with the commotion outside. It might be the Aoyin experts. They're more terrifying than the dwarves. We should retreat."
Dongke Hetu calmly called a halt to his family's experts, choosing to withdraw.
But after finding a safe place to hide, they had to face the elders' suspicion and resentment toward the person who had appeared at the end.
Dongke Hetu said calmly, "I know who he is."
"Who?"
"The master of TK, the one codenamed TK."
Everyone was stunned.
An elder was suspicious. "Is it that simple? That person used his real face. Could he have been deliberately pretending to be TK?"
Dongke Jin mused, "We investigated some matters in Beluke Province before and learned a few things about TK. We used some connections and obtained a photo of him. It's this person."
"Logically, TK's real appearance isn't known to outsiders. The only ones who know are some high-level officials in certain Beluke departments. It's unlikely an outsider would know. But to say this person is from one of those departments… that's not reasonable."
High-level public officials had their schedules strictly regulated. It was impossible for them to be away for long periods to seek personal gain in a place like Tong Lu Mountain. Even if they did, there would be no need to handle official business while on a private trip—and for public officials, TK was official business.
Unless the other party already knew their Dongke Clan was coming here and deliberately shifted the blame onto TK.
But that was even more unreasonable. If they had known they were coming, they wouldn't have misjudged the situation and encountered the giant python, allowing the Dongkes to get ahead.
Based on these deductions, it was clear the person's appearance was genuine.
"Because his face has never been publicly exposed and is classified information within the Beluke public sector, it's not strange for him to assume no one recognizes him."
Indeed, that was the logic.
Unfortunately for him, they had recognized him.
And such despicable and shameless methods perfectly fit his reputation.
"We still need to be cautious. We should investigate further…"
Later, they realized there was no need to investigate, because outside, the Aoyin were fighting with the forces of the White Tower and TK.
The commotion was so huge, who wouldn't know?
This essentially confirmed the possibility.
This damned bastard was the notoriously criminal TK!
"TK." Dongke Hetu gritted his teeth, his feud with this person now irreconcilable.
Half an hour later, at the end of the Tong Lu Mountain rift valley, Fu Chuan had shaken off all her pursuers.
"Although the situation was treacherous and fraught with danger, I've finally made it here."
Fu Chuan held seven priceless, peak-purple-tier Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vines. Looking at the vortex before her, she rushed straight in.
Yi Ye Hanzhuo's goal was naturally the true Tong Lu secret treasure, the place where Tong Lu had died. He had his own route. But Fu Chuan's goal was merely the battlefield ruin secret realm located here.
She needed that environment.
[Ding, congratulations on discovering the Tong Lu Battle Battlefield Secret Realm. You are the 19th person to discover this secret realm.]
Just as she thought, this was a fake Tong Lu secret realm, created to conceal the real one.
But this place was also a genuine battlefield.
And this battlefield was exactly what Fu Chuan wanted.
The scene before her had changed. It was desolate, the battlefield a chaotic mess, though much of it was covered by the dust of time. But when she looked up, she saw an extremely pure luminosity—the result of surging light elements. The space elements were also very strong; the two had almost completely taken over this place.
Fu Chuan calculated the elemental intensity here and concluded it was enough for her to undergo the conversion a hundred times.
"So strong. I'm afraid the other two places couldn't achieve this effect."
"Tong Lu was truly formidable, to split off such a fake secret realm before his death."
And such an environment couldn't be found anywhere else.
Lost in thought, Fu Chuan walked to the center of the battlefield ruins. Just as she was about to sit down and begin the conversion process, she suddenly froze. Through Xie Keli's perspective, she had discovered something.
The Aoyin experts were fighting the White Tower and TK experts. During the battle, Fu Chuan, hiding in the distance, noticed that when their energy impacted the Asle Mountain range, there was a… strange energy rhythm coming only from the volcano's direction.
It was being repelled.
Repulsion wasn't strange, because the energy body of the entire Asle Volcano was something even a level 90 Orange-robed expert from the Divine Temple couldn't withstand.
So for the Aoyin and White Tower experts, this was normal.
But Fu Chuan herself had used the Demon Orchid. She knew its rhythmic waves very well.
Although the rhythmic waves of every substance weren't as unique as genes or fingerprints, the chances of them being identical were very low.
What a coincidence.
Fu Chuan suspected there was a Demon Orchid in the volcano. So she had Xie Keli move towards the volcano, while her main body began the species conversion as planned.
But this time, there was a surprise.
"The Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine… Dongke Hetu and his sister probably wanted to use it as the core of their Double Infant Array. That way, their combined combat power would increase several times over."
"However, it can be used to birth a plant-based gene talent. Its essence is to act on one's will, and its effect is excellent."
"The stronger the will, the greater the chance of conversion, and the better the aptitude gained from the conversion."
That was why Fu Chuan had changed her plan to obtain it.
Thankfully, she had succeeded.
Fu Chuan took out the massive conversion array she had spent months preparing.
If the value of the Primary Species Conversion Equation was 100, then the value of this complementary conversion array had reached 1000. It would surely bankrupt even a level 70 Orange-robed expert.
After all, it was the result of months of exhausting her resources.
The conversion array immediately began to absorb the vast light and space elements.
The array's pool was filling up.
At the base of the volcano, Xie Keli had drawn near. But looking at the terrifying vortex of volcanic magma, she assessed her own strength and knew it would be extremely dangerous to go down.
Should she wait for Fu Chuan's main body to succeed?
That would take a lot of time. Tong Lu Mountain was fraught with crises. Both the Dongke Clan and the White Tower had suffered great losses and would surely dispatch more experts.
And if the giant python and the Aoyin Forbidden Master sorted things out, whichever one was free would definitely come back to investigate this area. They wouldn't let a single intruder go.
Not to mention the dwarves.
Her time was short.
Was it worth the risk to go down there?
Why not test it and find out?
Fu Chuan took out the Flame Dragon fossil and dangled it into the magma.
If the Demon Orchid and fire elements that the Flame Dragon needed most were both here, it would surely react.
If not, there was no need to risk it.
Her vine-arm was about to give out, but thankfully, after twenty-five seconds, the Flame Dragon fossil in the magma showed a very subtle… fluctuation.
There was a chance!
But the magma's intensity down there was something even a level 70 Orange-robed person couldn't handle…
But the Flame Dragon fossil had reacted, which meant the Demon Orchid was indeed down there. There had to be a separate dimension below.
Fu Chuan was both shocked and solemn. Gritting her teeth, she applied the four-field fusion and infinite recovery to her body… then plunged directly into the magma vortex.
The moment she went down, thirty percent of her body was destroyed!
Regenerate, regenerate, regenerate crazily!
The conversion array was still filling up. Fu Chuan was contemplating the conversion process, afraid of making a mistake, but deep in her soul, she could still feel the pain coming from the volcano.
Sigh. In truth, she had always envied the resources people like Yi Ye Hanzhuo possessed from birth. She always had to risk her life.
But it was alright. Once a person reached a certain level, surpassing the resource ceiling provided by their family background, everyone faced similar situations.
Now, she had reached the stage of adventuring in the same scene alongside the scions of Purple Blood clans.
"If I succeed, I can truly cross a class barrier."
Fu Chuan suppressed the pain and continued her preparations methodically.
Beneath the volcano, three minutes later… a certain separate dimension at the bottom of the volcano buzzed, and a dying figure broke through.
Thud. The dying person, scorched like charcoal, fell to the ground. The fields were still running, constantly repairing her body.
In her daze, she didn't even know what the scene before her looked like. She only felt that when she fell, her cheek seemed to press against something.
It was cool, like a flower petal.
The fragrance of the petal seemed familiar.
Moist, elegant, mysterious.
After a long time, Xie Keli's body finally recovered a little. Weakly, she opened her eyes and, from her face-down perspective, saw a large patch of vibrant purple.
She froze for a moment, her fingers moving with difficulty. She picked a flower and put it in her mouth.
This single Demon Orchid entered her mouth, nourishing her originally weak body, stimulating her genes, and greatly accelerating her recovery speed.
Fifteen minutes later, she sat up, staring blankly at the small flowerbed of hundreds of Demon Orchids before her.
"My God, did Qin Minfeng's luck finally get used in the right place? Or did the smoke from the old Xie Clan's ancestral graves finally turn the right color? Was it golden smoke?"
Golden smoke from an ancestral grave… that sounded like it was on fire, pure flames, right?
Far away in Beluke Province, Xie Siyi, who had just finished cultivating, suddenly felt her coffee was a bit too hot. After putting down the cup… she casually poured the coffee out.
Why keep something that burns your mouth?
A message came through her communicator.
It was from a certain nephew from her mother's side who had been missing for a long time.
Aunt, I've made a big discovery here. They've started investigating Beluke. Because of that dear brother of mine, with a different father and mother… tell me, is he well? I miss him very much.
Xie Siyi frowned, clearly unimpressed by this person's affectionate tone, and replied with a single line.
Then just keep thinking about it.
Far away in another province, Xie Qingyan frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
"My dear aunt is treating me like a donkey, wants to use me but also despises me."
"Why does she like my dear brother so much…"
"Just like me."
He couldn't help but browse the news from Beluke. When he saw that his dear brother had a school belle fiancée and an unborn child, he paused, lost in thought.
"So, my beautiful sister-in-law at the Sage Medical Hall was abandoned?"
As an older brother, he prepared to go and comfort her.
But when Xie Qingyan went to great lengths to contact Fu Chuan with a fake account, he got no response.
Was his sister-in-law so cold because she was in a bad mood from being abandoned?
He had his spies in Beluke investigate…
Ah, his sister-in-law wasn't there either. She was out?
"What a coincidence…" Suspicion flashed in Xie Qingyan's eyes.
When Fu Chuan saw the patch of Demon Orchids in the volcano, she almost dropped the Species Conversion Equation.
No, this turn of fortune was a bit too drastic.
She needed to calm down.
It could only be described as a series of coincidences. The chain of events had led her to a mystery, which in turn had led her here.
Since she had found it… of course she… harvested most of it.
Fu Chuan harvested 399 Demon Orchids, leaving about thirty untouched so they could continue to reproduce in the future. This essentially turned this place into a future Demon Orchid cultivation base.
"Perhaps, I'm the only one who knows about this place now."
Fu Chuan looked down at the traces on the ground, carefully examining the entire area, then became thoughtful.
But there was no time to delay. She took out the Flame Dragon.
Fire, Demon Orchid, and her with the Flame Dragon.
Everything was ready. This was Xie Keli's world.
Was Fu Chuan's world ready?
Separated by two spaces.
One in the Tong Lu Mountain rift valley secret realm, one in the separate dimension at the bottom of Asle Volcano.
In that instant, across space, across time, the two bodies might have been gazing at each other from afar.
As if by fate. Then, it began!
Fu Chuan entered the pool, feeling the impact of the energy in the liquid light element pool. At the same time, she began to consume the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine. The moment she used the first one, she felt a slight stir deep in her mind.
It felt like the sense of floating and detachment she had experienced since coming to this world had started to stabilize.
Her mental power jumped from 2 million to 2.5 million.
She was stunned and continued to use them. By the fourth vine, she knew it was about enough.
Her will was almost full, feeling like it was about to crack, reaching the current limit of this soul.
This was her limit.
After withstanding four Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vines, her mental power had skyrocketed to 4 million. This was her base mental power, without merging with a pet.
It was terrifying. She was only level 50, but her mental power was already on par with a level 70 Orange-robed expert from the Divine Temple.
She had reached her limit and couldn't take any more.
Fu Chuan put down the remaining three Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vines and directly entered conversion mode.
The array activated, and the Solar Black Crane egg was also immersed in it with her, entering a profound and powerful conversion mode…
Yes, from the beginning, she had set it up so the Solar Black Crane egg would have a chance to evolve during this conversion.
If it failed, it was fine. The baseline was a Solar Black Crane.
As for herself, her goal was to convert into a Divine Light Elf. The threshold for Divine Light Elves and Forbidden Masters was very high. Even with full preparation, there was a possibility of failure.
It all depended on the final push.
While Fu Chuan was building up momentum and working hard, Xie Keli's body was also crazily digesting the Demon Orchids.
Eating them ten at a time, the Xie Clan's genes were constantly transforming. The Flame Dragon consumed far more Demon Orchids than Fu Chuan did.
The 399 Demon Orchids were rapidly dwindling. Her blood began to boil. All she needed were the materials and a gene pool to perfectly convert to Orange Blood!
After her body consumed 99 Demon Orchids and the Flame Dragon consumed 150, she reached her limit. Her gene level reached the quasi-Orange Blood level of the Demon Orchid bloodline, and the Flame Dragon also reached a state of imminent awakening.
Both bodies had reached their upper limits.
The limit was broken, and it felt like her will was about to be broken too.
She was ecstatic, but suddenly, a catastrophe struck.
Do not rashly break the boundary. Because once the boundary that kept you in your comfort zone is broken, your difference from others will be revealed.
She felt the isolation of her soul from this world. In a daze, her soul was instantly sucked into the distant… Planet X5.
She saw the weak and humble female slave, little Fu Chuan. She got up very early, at four in the morning, to bustle about. But she actually woke up at three, leaning over a dirty table, using the bleak starlight from outside to read the knowledge in a tattered booklet.
It wasn't arcane knowledge, nor any other incredible knowledge, but ordinary, the most basic elementary school knowledge.
She struggled to recognize the words on it.
The once scholarly Fu Clan, with generations of high education and high IQ, where early enlightenment and skipping grades were the norm. But in this generation, the only living descendant couldn't even fully recognize words, because others didn't think she needed to, nor did they want her to.
It was so hard for her, and she was so serious. As she read, she scratched her fingers, damaged by the winter frost. They were swollen and red.
Her face was also red because she had a fever.
She was so tired, but she didn't want to collapse… but, it hurt so much.
She finally lowered her head, her forehead resting on the tattered book that smelled of fish. In her dizzy weakness, she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
"I think… I'm going to die."
"Mom, you told me to live well, but… I don't think I can do it anymore…"
"Who are you?"
"Have… you come?"
She had come.
Opening her eyes, she felt pain and a numb itch, but also a sense of conflict and discomfort with this body.
Cold, so cold.
In the bone-chilling cold, an even colder voice sounded in her ear.
"Who are you? Not of my world's kind… you should be exterminated!"
A catastrophe.
Suppression from the soul's boundary!
Fu Chuan never expected this turn of events. Both bodies were heavily injured and vomited blood at the same time, and the energy in the conversion pool exploded!
At this moment, her body had entered the middle stage of conversion, about to make the final sprint. However, with this incident, her soul rioted, and the energy in the conversion pool rushed towards her instead. Not just the conversion pool, but all the light elements in the entire secret realm that she had predicted could let her convert a hundred times were surging over.
A backlash.
Fu Chuan's mouth was full of blood, her bones cracking inch by inch from the heavy injury. On the verge of death, she saw the overwhelming tide of energy.
Just one last step.
But she never thought she would die at this step.
Heaven was not kind to her.
She had deliberately controlled the progress of both bodies to be synchronized, both stuck at the final step. But this final step had become the death knell for both bodies and one soul, about to be annihilated simultaneously.
To die just like this?
Just because she wasn't from this world?
She lowered her eyes, her face cold and pale, coldly waiting for the backlash of energy to fall from above… but she simultaneously directed her soul's will, which shared the same origin, to strike the Order Stele Fragment within her gene tree!
Making the most frenzied resistance amidst her cold indifference.
She had ambition.
Dual bodies, the Double Infant Array, Xie Siyi, the Li Family, the Xie Clan, the Dongke and Yi Ye, the Economic Department and the White Tower, the Aoyin and the dwarves—all these were great mountains pressing down on her.
But the one who impacted her the most was Jiang Yousi.
She was not the only one who came to this world, which meant its world barrier was not perfect, or perhaps it was under the control of some deity.
There was a peak to this world.
So, what if she touched this peak?
"If I can go back… if I can go back."
"Or become a servant that a god finds valuable. Would she pity me, or after using me, grant me a small favor and let me go back?"
Such a humble thought, yet it gave birth to a surging ambition.
Her heart was burning. Thinking of her parents, relatives, and best friends and sisters, her heart began to boil.
Ever since she saw Fu Ye almost have her baby ripped out of her, she reconfirmed that she didn't like this world. She wanted to go back.
To drive home after work, take off her coat, put on slippers, take the food her mother handed her, put away her father's apron… then sit down as a family, watching TV while eating and chatting.
The lights of a thousand homes, a prosperous and peaceful world.
She was clearly just an ordinary person.
She didn't want to die. She wanted to go home.
If she really couldn't survive, then let her die here. Consider it a lost soul returning to its hometown… Every Qingming Festival, her parents and sisters would at least offer a sacrifice for her.
The Order Stele Fragment wouldn't favor an ordinary person, but it favored Fu Chuan/Xie Keli.
With the power released by the Order Stele Fragment, the gene tree was nourished by it and grew wildly, from root to branch.
It forked, blossomed, bright and radiant, almost as pure as crystal.
And Fu Chuan, in the tide of energy, coldly ate two Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vines, while Xie Keli ate all the remaining Demon Orchids in one go.
Then they both closed their eyes.
She saw the light.
The light that was about to backlash against her, at the moment her gene tree transformed, turned to embrace her instead.
In a world of light, she was embraced.
She knew she was transforming into an elf, but it didn't seem to be the originally planned Divine Light Elf.
Both bodies fell unconscious at the same time.
The battle in the Asle Mountain range was fierce, but the people from the White Tower and TK were no pushovers. The three old men were each more cunning than the last, and they quickly scattered.
And each contacted their people outside for support.
However, the recipient of one of the messages was not from the White Tower or TK.
Far away in Beluke Province.
Xiao Lun glanced at the message.
The content was: Dongke, Yi Ye, Aoyin, dwarves, chaotic battle. Chi Python is being hunted by the Aoyin Forbidden Master.
Xiao Lun lowered his eyes and dialed a number on his communicator.
Far away, in the empty border area between Beluke Province and the Asle Mountain range, a team was already waiting. The leader, a middle-aged man in a red hat, extinguished the cigarette in his hand. After hearing Xiao Lun's call, he asked, "After we get there, how do we deal with the miscellaneous people?"
"Kill them all, of course."
"Including those from Yi Ye and Dongke?"
"Of course. You're not from my Beluke public sector, and you're in the lawless wilderness. So what if you kill them?"
"Hehe."
The middle-aged man smiled, got up, and shouldered a giant axe.
"Brothers, let's go!"
On the dwarves' side, their forces had been scattered by the battles erupting everywhere. But when other powerful dwarves finally arrived a few hours later and saw the scene of them knocking each other out or heavily damaging each other's souls, they were furious.
The 0.9-meter-tall chief of the Tong Lu Mountain dwarves ground his teeth and waved his hand, "After them!"
Twenty minutes later, the dwarf chief arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, squinted his eyes, gave a cold smile, and rushed in.
In the secret realm, everything was calm.
He frowned, looking at the empty secret realm.
Gone? Already left?
"Damn thing, runs fast. Even scraped the ground clean, probably afraid of leaving traces."
"Chase!"
After they left, in the quiet secret realm… a figure appeared in the lake.
Fu Chuan, half-submerged in the water, looked down at the slightly rippling surface and tapped it lightly with her finger.
Without needing any arcane truth, her super-natural affinity for elements made the water elements obey her command. The surface immediately became as calm as a mirror, and only then could she see her current appearance.
Purple pupils, black hair. Her skin had less vitality than when she was human—cold, transcendent, carrying the innate pressure of a higher race.
"It's not an ordinary Divine Light Elf, but a variant called Divine Night-Cherished Light."
Divine Light Elves are the darlings of light elements, with the world's number one affinity for them. But the Divine Night-Cherished Light, as a variant of the Divine Light Elf, is hailed as the most mutated accident in the Divine Light Elf race.
Fu Chuan didn't know the specifics because this variant was too rare. It seemed there hadn't been many in the history of Divine Light Elves. Each appearance basically signified a secret of this arcane world related to the distant ancient times. But those were secrets known only to great noble families of the Purple Blood level with over a thousand years of heritage.
Even Fu Chuan had never encountered it, so she knew little about it. She only knew that after the accident, she had mutated into a Divine Night-Cherished Light.
"Although I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, it has its benefits for now."
She opened her hand. The semi-transparent space elements in her palm sizzled and changed with a flick of her fingers, instantly turning into light elements. But with another command, the light elements turned back into space elements.
Fu Chuan was a bit surprised but quickly calmed down, thinking, "This variant can actually convert space and light elements into each other. This ability is a bit overpowered. Space is everywhere, which means light elements are also everywhere. And being able to convert another element into the same one means elemental superposition, giving a much greater advantage than others."
For example, in a normal space with a total elemental amount of 100, the proportion of most elements is similar. You and your opponent can both summon a quantity of 5. But if you can suddenly convert another element, it becomes 5+5, which equals 10. The amount of element you summon is twice your opponent's.
What did this mean?
This was a permanent, fixed advantage! Not to mention, Fu Chuan not only felt an unparalleled affinity for light elements now, but her affinity for space elements was also not much weaker than for light.
She suspected that the Divine Night-Cherished Light was a darling of both light and space.
Next, she checked this body's attributes.
Level: 50 (Race: Divine Night-Cherished Light)
Mental Power: 13,000,000
Strength: 6,000,000
Constitution: 7,200,000
Agility: 8,000,000
Gene Talents.
First Talent - Spirit Body: After converting to the Cherished Light Body, if the body is damaged, it can devour light/space elements to perfectly repair itself without any recovery arcana/arcane truths.
Second Talent - Spirit Arcana: All light/space series arcane arts and arcane truths have their damage increased by 30%.
Third Talent - Divine Light Elf Wood (Low-level): After activating the Divine Light Elf Wood, it can absorb the mental power released by enemies when they summon elements in space, directly replenishing one's own mental power.
Gene Sequences.
First Sequence Manifestation - Cherished Light Fission: Can create seven clones through the fission ability of the Three-Eyed Split Spirit Vine. The clones' abilities are determined by will, space, and light element energy intensity.
Second Sequence Manifestation - Soul Forbidden Chains: Can ignore all physical defenses and directly seal the opponent's soul for 3 seconds if one's own soul resistance is higher than the opponent's.
Arcane Truth: Has awakened the Forbidden Master profession, has not yet chosen an arcane truth path.
Racial Trait: Darling of both light/space elements, a fated Forbidden Master among Divine Light Elves. A Forbidden Master from birth, with powerful talent and extremely rare numbers. Belongs to one of the extreme variants, but has low fertility and difficulty producing offspring.
How to put it.
The aptitude of the Divine Night-Cherished Light was too high, directly jumping to the top tier of races in the arcane world. The aptitude of Divine Light Elves is mostly focused on light and space, but after checking her attributes, she realized that the Divine Night-Cherished Light, while retaining the super-strong talents in light and space as a baseline, was more focused on soul-level talents, with an extremely high growth ceiling.
For example, right now, having just converted to this race, level 50 was just adulthood for these races, not yet entering the golden growth period. All the talents were just improving the foundation, not rushing to get attack or defense skills. It wasn't like the Demon Orchid Body, which had already entered a high-attack, high-burst state. This meant these were just basic attributes, and the attack methods she got later would be the real killers.
As for the final racial trait explanation, Fu Chuan's expression was a bit bitter.
What the hell, she became infertile just by changing her race?
Did that mean she couldn't have children in the future?
Fu Chuan had a bit of a headache but quickly pushed aside the distracting thoughts. She couldn't go back and didn't know how long she would live, so why worry about children.
Suddenly, a small white ball jumped out from her body. The white ball rolled and grew, becoming a fluffy, snow-white fat ball.
About the size of a basketball, its feathers were soft and fluffy, like a cotton ball.
Fu Chuan waited for it to stand steady before she could see clearly that it was a bird.
"Um, where are your feet and wings?"
It looked dazed and tried hard to extend its small feet hidden under the white fluff.
Red, chubby little feet… before she could see clearly, it lost its balance and fell with a plop. Its two feet waved around, and it started to cry. Its small white wings also flapped as it sobbed.
Fu Chuan: "?"
She blankly looked down at the little white crane's attributes.
Level: 1 (Solar Black Crane Variant: Crying Crane of the Pale Firmament, Purple-tier.)
Mental Power: 5,000,000
Strength: 4,000,000.
Constitution: 5,200,000.
Agility: 6,000,000.
How to put it, it had zero talents, nothing at all. It looked even more bare than the green-tier little locust back then. Its base stats were just ridiculously high, far exceeding orange-tier, but what kind of purple-tier was this? All stats but no talents or skills. A super-fraud?!!
But Fu Chuan's mood fluctuated slightly. She said in a low voice, "A high-bloodline pet variant, but with no skills or any talent aptitude… either it was crippled by the accident, or…"
"That Aoyin Forbidden Master seems stronger than the giant python. Why doesn't he just take it down? It looks like he's been trying to capture it alive, chasing it for so long."
The Dongke Clan had suffered a great loss in this mission. Now, Tong Lu Mountain was full of dangers. There were the White Tower and TK people fighting a guerrilla war with the Aoyin experts, turning the world upside down. There was the Aoyin Forbidden Master frantically hunting the giant python. And the dwarves were searching everywhere… The Dongke Clan group could only hide, wanting to leave but having to check if they would run into these experts on the road. So they could only stay put cautiously.
Dongke Jin judged the battle situation between the most powerful Aoyin Forbidden Master and the giant python based on the constantly erupting energy fluctuations.
She was a little puzzled.
Dongke Hetu said thoughtfully, "I was just wondering why he wants to keep it alive, and it seems the people from the White Tower are also thinking of capturing this Chi Python alive. It seems this Chi Python must be a rare high-bloodline variant among pets."
Dongke Jin was stunned. "I remember grandfather saying that high-bloodline variant pets have a certain probability of becoming Pet Weapons?"
Dongke Hetu sighed, "After investigating matters in Beluke Province, I specifically sought out the family elders and checked some materials. I heard that the White Tower Lord was very young back then but was able to single-handedly withstand the siege from the Imperial Military, killing dozens of experts of the same level. Such a battle record is simply earth-shattering. Considering the strange events in Beluke, I suspect he himself might have imperial royal blood. But for such a person, if he has a main body that remains immortal besides his dual-body bloodline, he would be arrogant. There's no need to go to such lengths to capture a former pet that was still in its weak period. With his cold and unfeeling nature, it can't be for old times' sake. That means this pet is very important to him. Looking at the Aoyin Forbidden Master's methods, it can be basically confirmed that this Chi Python is a rare variant Pet Weapon."
Dongke Jin was shocked and uncertain.
"I've heard of variant Pet Weapons. Pets are living beings. To turn a living being into a weapon means all its attributes are converted into power, purely adding to attack, and integrating into the arcane weapon manifestation. It can increase damage several times over. The first requirement is a change in the pet's gene system, allowing it to change its cellular structure, talents, and skills, ultimately becoming an extremely powerful attack method. For example, if the original arcane weapon's attack power is 10, after fusing with a Pet Weapon, even the worst-aptitude Pet Weapon can increase the attack power to fifty. A powerful one can even reach 100. Especially in the spirit-attached state, with remote control, the Pet Weapon has the pet's intelligence and naturally has the freedom of detached control, making it far more powerful than an ordinary spirit-attached weapon of the same level."
A tenfold increase. What level of power was that?
Even if your base stats were several times higher than the opponent's, you might not be able to achieve ten times their attack power.
That was roughly the difference between a full A-gene first sequence and a full B-gene fifth sequence.
"However, to be qualified as a Pet Weapon, it basically has to be a purple-tier pet. An orange-tier pet simply can't withstand the intensity of the cellular structure transformation."
"Purple-tier pets are already rare. It's rare to see anyone in our province with a purple-tier pet, let alone a variant with Pet Weapon potential."
Dongke Jin smiled bitterly, now understanding the White Tower Lord's obsession.
To put it bluntly, the sunk cost was too great. He could only continue to stubbornly pursue this disobedient former pet.
