Chapter 186: Ascendance
Zhou Bingying said:
"Heavenly Rank Characteristics. After the Three Elements are integrated and promoted, if this divine nucleus is cultivated to a certain degree, it will naturally contain the corresponding Heavenly Rank Characteristics. Moreover, at this stage, the divine nucleus will also affect the ordinary genes in various parts of the body, making the physique more suitable for activating this kind of Heavenly Rank Characteristics."
"At this stage, the body has the ability to truly change its characteristics. With every move, you can mobilize the power of the characteristics at will."
“So when you see those low-level experts, they usually show off their talents and have very obvious temperament characteristics.”
"On the contrary, Commander Mu and Captain Lin have been able to gradually reduce their physical signs, and we can't see much."
Everyone suddenly felt that they had gained a lot.
After all, they haven't started their heavenly cultivation yet, so they all have their own ideas after hearing this.
Everyone asked a lot of questions, which made Zhou Bingying feel overwhelmed. She couldn't even answer some of them, and finally ran away.
Li Yi also smiled, walked towards the Wuliang Tower, and began to challenge the tower.
…
The Infinite Spire is also quite interesting, but it requires a very high total amount of divinity. The lower the total amount, no matter how high your skills are, you can't pass the level. At most, you can be a little faster than others.
And this just happens to be Li Yi’s biggest shortcoming at the moment.
The physique, soul, and skills are all top-notch; only the accumulation of the total amount of divinity requires endurance.
The first level is very simple. You only need to learn a breathing method that uses the divinity to penetrate your body to pass the level.
However, this breathing method is not very suitable for humans.
Because the meridians corresponding to this breathing method are mostly those of divine civilized people, which are obviously inconsistent with humans.
However, even so, it also produced a significant effect, allowing Li Yi to store the excess divinity naturally generated in the divine genes every day in various parts of the body.
Although it only increases the storage capacity by 3%, it can still increase his endurance a little during combat.
From the second level onwards, you will need to test how much of your divinity can be unleashed at one time.
Li Yi was a little short of it before, but now he has one more divine gene, he believes he should be able to get through this level.
…
The second level of the Infinite Spire is a narrow place.
An invisible repressive force will be generated here, and the divinity must be released without any skill to offset this repressive force.
According to the information here, once the release of divinity is interrupted for more than 1 second, the repressive force will surge instantly and kick the challenger out of the tower.
Li Yi also tried the combination of absolute fluid and rotating character technique to see if it would work.
Unexpectedly, I was kicked out in an instant.
After that, I tried many methods, but basically all failed.
This time his total amount of divinity has increased a lot, I believe he can pass the second level.
He stood in the tower, feeling the invisible force pressing down on him while also rapidly releasing the invisible and colorless divinity. At the same time, he adjusted his breathing and maintained his physical condition according to the rhythm of the Infinite Breathing Method.
These divine powers were like free gases, forming a circle outside his body, slowly offsetting the heavy and slow power of the invisible force.
In this way, this invisible force will become stronger every minute.
The total amount of divinity that Li Yi needs to release must also be increased accordingly to expand the scope of the circle.
Moreover, with each expansion, the invisible force that needs to be offset increases exponentially.
Just like that, 10 minutes later, just before Li Yi reached his limit, the invisible force completely disappeared.
Huh! Li Yi let out a long breath, and sweat oozed out from his forehead.
He felt the changes in his body and was a little surprised.
"This invisible force of suppression can actually increase the amount of divinity in my body. After persisting for just now, it actually increased by about 1%."
“It seems that even though the human body and the divine civilized people are not very compatible, under this invisible force, it seems that the breathing method and the body can become more compatible.”
"Interesting. Could this be a method used by the divine civilization to improve breathing techniques and physical fitness? Am I also benefiting from this?"
Other people who enter the tower don't know this experience.
Because they do not have Li Yi's level of strength as fast as flowing water, they can easily notice any subtle changes in the body.
Therefore, even though they slightly increased the divinity reserves in their bodies, they still did not notice this.
At the same time, the invisible force disappeared.
Buzz!!! The thought stamp pierced into my head as always.
Li Yi ignored it and decided to wait until he got out to eliminate any mysterious thoughts that might exist.
Over these seven days, they have formed an assembly line process and have extracted about forty mysterious thoughts in total.
I guess if some time passes, there won’t be enough clones to store these mysterious thoughts.
…
The third level of the Infinite Spire has the same rhythm.
According to those who have challenged the tower before, the third level requires a total of around 24 divinities to pass.
Li Yi naturally had no hope of passing, but that did not prevent him from using it to increase his total reserves of divinity.
Soon, after 5 minutes, he reached his limit and was kicked out of the Infinite Spire.
The suppression power in this level was even greater. In 5 minutes, he actually increased his body's divinity reserves by 0.8%, which was quite good.
Next up is the Vision Spire.
He had been stuck for quite some time on the ninth level of the Vision Spire, but this time he didn't waste too much time and was kicked out after half an hour.
Starting from the ninth level, it is no longer as simple as cracking various fraudulent attacks, but searching for real objects in a huge and highly realistic illusion space.
Li Yi rushed to the ninth level on the second day. He lingered at the ninth level for the next six days. Each time he would drag it to the end of the half-hour time limit and be kicked out directly.
Because no one gave him any reference, he could only figure it out on his own, and still hasn't figured out what the key to passing this level is.
Since I didn't understand what the key was, the memory fragments that appeared were somewhat insignificant and did not involve the core.
Li Yi estimated that at this pace, it would take a long time before the corresponding memory fragments could be produced to help him break through.
Moreover, although everyone named it the Vision Spire, it is not highly relevant to the knowledge of virtual reality.
He estimated that he might have to reach a higher level to access related knowledge.
…
In a temporary rest tent area outside the spire.
Liang Zhishen was surprised and said, "Li Yi, you have also been weak these days. Except for the characteristic spire tower, the other towers are all eliminated in the standard half an hour?"
Li Yi shrugged and said, "I can't help it. Every profession has its own specialties. I am only good at breaking into the towers that I am good at."
Although Li Yi's progress in most spires is several levels higher than everyone else, the time Li Yi spends in each spire has been decreasing every day in the past few days, which means that Li Yi has reached his limit.
Everyone had originally been full of expectations for him, but now they all felt a little emotional.
"Even a genius like Li Yi would encounter many difficulties in challenging the inheritance spire left by the ancient divine civilization. This shows that the divine civilization is indeed profound and extensive."
For a moment, I felt a little more comforted about my slow progress in breaking through the tower.
The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing this, Liang Zhishen immediately smiled and said, "Li Yi, just wait until I surpass your progress in the Vision Spire."
Xu Weilu said: "In the Infinite Spire, I will firmly suppress your Captain Li."
Tan Haode also smiled a rare smile and said, "Captain Li, you haven't had much time to challenge the conversion spire these days. I'll wait for you at the fifth level."
Jiang Chaoqun said in a low voice: "Captain Li, just wait for me to surpass you in the characteristic spire."
Li Yi laughed: "Let's go, let's leave it at that. Let's continue to explore the ruins of the gourd man."
…
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed when everyone was exploring the heritage ruins, and there were only about ten days left before the end of the competition.
In the end, there were no other discoveries in the Gourd Man's laboratory.
Li Yi dug deep into the ground but couldn't find the code book or any record files related to the notebook, which was a pity.
He once used two notebooks he had found before as code books to try to decipher it.
The results were disappointing, neither of them worked.
In the end, everyone could only transform the gourd man’s laboratory into a C-class divine mecha and take it back.
Because this was something Li Yi discovered independently, if he exchanged it for military merits, after deducting the management fee, he would be able to personally take all the military merits corresponding to this divine mecha.
Not bad.
As for the codes on the sand table and the various spire models, they were naturally taken back with them.
Although no one knew what the purpose of those model spires was, everyone naturally froze them all and kept them as they were to prevent their positions from moving or changing due to starship activities, which would cause erroneous information changes.
Over the past month, Li Yi has fought in many characteristic towers. Although he has been stuck at the eighth level, his personal strength has improved quite well.
Through many high-intensity battles, he successfully condensed three divine genes, reaching the level of 20.
When the number of medals reached 19, he naturally advanced to a higher-level evolver, and his physique also underwent a great transformation.
He estimated that his physical strength had already reached the level of the first stage of the Heavenly Rank, and was even approaching the second stage, which was quite good.
There were no obvious outward changes in the body during this transformation. Although a lot of the starship's nutrient solution reserves were consumed, exceeding many personal quotas, there were indeed no changes visible to the naked eye.
Only he himself can feel it, the feeling of his internal organs being stronger, his body being tougher, and being more resistant to fucking.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Combined with the burst skills of version 3.1, in pure physical combat, he would probably be able to compete with Mu Tianlei.
Of course, all this is Li Yi's estimation.
I've never actually played it, and I don't have the opportunity to do so.
The gap in strength between each level of the Heavenly Rank was also huge. He estimated that he needed to condense 24 divine genes before his physical body could completely reach the strength of the second level of the Heavenly Rank.
But Li Yi was already quite satisfied.
The increase in the strength of the evolvers is also exponentially amplified. The gap in strength between the first level of the Heavenly Rank and the best of the upper ranks is even greater than the gap between the upper ranks and ordinary people.
Basically, without a strong enough foundation, the higher your level of strength, the easier it will be for your previous advantages to be wiped out.
For an ordinary family, being able to save a few thousand yuan a month is already pretty good and allows them to live a rich life.
But for a wealthy family, it is normal for their daily expenses to be equal to the total income of an ordinary family for several years.
The same is true for the generation of divine genes; there are shortcuts.
For example, if they could get a bunch of A-level and S-level divine nucleus fragments, families with the means could not hastily expose their offspring to radiation when they were young, lest they could not bear it.
When they reach a certain stage and can withstand high-level divine radiation, it is naturally more likely for them to reach high-level evolution at a young age than those of ordinary origins.
Only when one reaches the Heavenly Stage, one needs to truly combine the three elements into one, which tests one's talent, skills and mentality. This gives geniuses from ordinary families a chance to catch up.
As for Li Yi's other towers, they have also made some progress, but the overall benefits are not as high as those brought by the special towers.
For example, in the Conversion Spire, one learns the technique of transforming the properties of divine energy, which is actually quite good.
But Li Yi's previous focus has always been on the three towers of Characteristics, Infinity, and Spiral. Sometimes it was the Soul, sometimes it was other knowledge towers. He often did not have enough time to switch towers.
After all, from a long-term perspective, the three towers of Characteristics, Infinity and Spiral are definitely of greater long-term value.
Each improves characteristics, total divinity, skills, and physique, and the benefits are very good.
As for converting the spire, it is just about learning the technique of transforming the properties of divine energy, which can be arranged later.
Among all the knowledge towers he had studied, the only thing worth mentioning was that he had made some progress in deciphering the soul tower.
As for the other spires, although many details of passing the levels were recorded, many of them did not involve language, and it was difficult for him to decipher them.
Once he has the time to perfect his decryption skills that have been neglected for some time, he will probably be able to decipher the most basic part of the soul secrets.
In any case, the overall income during this period can be said to be quite rich.
…
This day.
At the end of the tower challenge, everyone held a meeting as usual to exchange and share experiences.
suddenly.
Xiaozhuang reminded, "We have received intelligence from the front. During the invasion launched by the aliens half a month ago, it has been determined that some alien starships have fled to our surrounding star regions. Please be alert. While exploring the spire, if you find any alarm, please immediately activate the divine mecha and be ready for battle at any time."
Zhang Pengting said:
"Is it common for aliens to roam around like this? Why do you all look unsurprised, Captain Zhou?"
Zhou Fuli smiled and said, "This is neither common nor rare. Basically, every few years, a group of alien slaves will come here to search for the heritage relics."
"These people are basically no different from suicide soldiers. They come here just to die."
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of one or two big fish sneaking in, or a mecha master with real alien blood."
"Aliens like this are truly strong. They are well-equipped, have a strong total amount of divinity, are proficient in using their characteristics, and are very lethal."
"Moreover, they often possess extremely high survival and hiding skills, and are likely to bypass the defenses and infiltrate the mainstream planets in our human territory."
"So, we will not show mercy to these roving gangs. We will definitely hunt them down with heavy troops and will definitely not let them get in easily."
Zhou Bingying also said with great pride:
"That's right. Even if he can kill us, what can we do? We already have three Heavenly Ranks here. We can just kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Zhou Bingying's boastful look.
A month ago, Zhou Bingying was successfully promoted to the Heavenly Position, and she was eager to try and find someone to test her skills.
Even though her divine mecha has not been upgraded yet, since she has the physique and total divinity of a heavenly rank, even if she is controlling a B-class mecha, she can naturally exert a powerful strength that overwhelms other B-class mechas. Naturally, she is extremely proud of herself.
Fortunately, Zhou Bingying suppressed this impulse, otherwise, except for the two Tianwei and Li Yi, no one present would be his match.
As for weekly benefits, I guess they can last longer.
…
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed and there were still seven or eight days left before the end of the competition.
Li Yi also decided that in the remaining time, he would not try to break through the spiral spire that had stuck him for a long time, but instead try the convertible spire that he had never tried before.
After this wave of tower exploration is over, it’s time to set off back to the border star to get a place in this competition and a spot in the Earth ruins.
After that, of course, they would have to wait until their strength leapt forward again, or until humans got the Feili northern ruins, and then they would choose an opportunity to explore and learn all kinds of divine technological knowledge.
Once you find clues to decipher the sandbox code, you can also look for an opportunity to get the so-called Secret Book of Time.
Judging from the simple description in the text, the Secret Book of Time should be quite effective.
These are also the only two things Li Yi has come into contact with that are related to the characteristics of time and space.
Coincidentally, both are related to the gourd man.
At this moment, Li Yi stood in front of the conversion spire, using his clever strength to offset the suction of the door frame and took slow steps.
Snap!
Li Yi stepped in and the metal door suddenly closed.
…
In an extremely dark space, a burst of fire suddenly appeared on the ground in the center.
Li Yi's slender and muscular body slowly walked from the darkness into the light area created by the flames.
"According to other people's experience in breaking through the tower, isn't the environment of the first level a bright body of water?"
"Why is mine so different?"
Li Yi frowned slightly.
It was at this moment.
A strange voice came into Li Yi's mind.
The sound fluctuations were very special, somewhat similar to the pronunciation of the Ant-Fly Man, but also subtly different.
In the confusion, Li Yi relied on his translation skills to guess:
"You are finally here, my junior who got my core fragment?"
For a moment, Li Yi was shocked.
Fragments of the core? Could it be the Gourd Man? Could it be that the Gourd Man's Secret Book of Time is hidden in the Transformation Spire? Or was it because he was carrying four immortal divine cores that he triggered the Gourd Man's other arrangements?
Immediately, other voice information was translated quickly.
