Chapter 187 Map

"Congratulations, from the moment you obtain the fragment of the immortality core, you will have the opportunity to obtain true immortality just like me."

"The universe is vast, and only the immortal nucleus can... truly reach... immortality."

"All sequence divinities are merely the foils of the immortal divinity, and are ants crawling at the feet of eternity."

"...This is the basis of the confrontation..."

"Since you have triggered my image, it means you have obtained at least four fragments."

"Now, I'll leave you a small test, a puzzle that's neither too big nor too small. As long as you can solve it, you can get the star map of the specific locations of my remaining immortality core fragments."

While Li Yi was half-guessing and half-translating the language of the ant-fly people with greatly changed accents.

The flame in front gradually changed color from fiery red to purple-white, and then a series of pictures appeared.

A series of images with unclear meanings flashed across the screen.

There are mountains and rivers, as well as flowing galaxies. The perspective changes intricately and the pages switch extremely quickly.

Hundreds of images flashed by in the blink of an eye, and each one was completely different, like a fast-forwarded movie projection.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of pictures flashed by.

Then, the flame in front of Li Yi gradually shrank and then went out.

It would be fine if these images were shown so quickly, but they were only shown once? Li Yi raised his eyebrows.

Thanks to his gift of holographic memory, he can check the Dream Plain at any time. Otherwise, a high-frequency ultra-clear camera would be needed to capture everything.

He shook his head, reviewing each image in his memory in order.

The first page is an upward-angle picture of a picturesque landscape with clear flowing water, fish swimming under the water, pebbles beside the fish, sky reflected on the pebbles, and green mountains under the sky, forming a beautiful and harmonious natural picture.

This page made Li Yi particularly suspicious that it was taken from the Earth hundreds of years ago.

Because in his vast memory bank, this kind of scenery only existed on Earth hundreds of years ago.

The second page is a horizontal shot of an unknown galaxy. It looks like a flat funnel, densely covered with stars and is very spectacular.

The third page should be an enlarged picture of a microorganism. It looks very strange, with sparse and short tentacles, a square body, and many fine red dots around it.

Li Yi read through them one by one, but he didn't understand their meaning for a moment.

“Is it that the image itself has no meaning, but rather the information pattern behind the image hides the star map?”

"An image hides a star map? Including detailed coordinate information?"

"Or is it that my ability is limited, and the picture I see is actually incomplete, and I can't see the complete information displayed by higher-powered creatures?"

"Has this gourd man lived too long and is too bored, so he likes to make so many puzzles?"

While he was guessing, the scene in front of Li Yi had changed, forming an area of ​​water as clear as a mirror.

This area of ​​water is exactly the scene of the first level of the Transformation Spire that everyone had described before.

At this point, Li Yi decided to put aside his speculation about these images for the time being and begin learning the techniques of divine energy conversion.

In this first stage, what needs to be done does not involve the process of converting divinity into energy and then adjusting the energy into various properties.

Instead, he first transformed the free-flowing "qi" of the divinity into a state that was light but could support the body, allowing people to stand on this low-density water for ten minutes.

This is not difficult. A basic beginner mecha master with sufficient divine operating skills and a certain balance can complete this level.

Immediately, an invisible and colorless divinity emerged from under Li Yi's feet, lifting him up several centimeters off the ground.

He took a step forward.

Wow.

The water waves spread lightly and diffused to the surrounding areas.

Li Yi nodded slightly, it was indeed very relaxing.

Soon, he stood there waiting for the time to come, while closing his eyes and looking at the puzzle image given by the gourd man in his memory.

Just when he saw page 3182, his expression changed slightly.

He had seen this scene in his parallel memory.

Moreover, it should be on Earth.

Although it is only the Earth in a parallel world and not the current one, it is a cave and a natural landscape. Most likely, such a cave also exists on this Earth.

"Interesting. Could it be that these so-called puzzles are just simple object recognition, where you need to find the area according to the pictures on the scene?"

"However, this would conflict with the so-called star map of the gourd man."

“Did I understand the translation wrong, or is there another meaning?”

While thinking, Li Yi also reached ten minutes and passed the level successfully.

Then.

Buzz!!! The thought stamp was inserted into his mind as usual. Li Yi ignored it and rejected the insights hidden in the stamp. He would deal with it after he got rid of the mysterious thoughts.

…

The scene of the second level is also different.

It was a sea of ​​fire.

The divinity needs to be transformed into some kind of high-intensity flowing airflow to blow away the sea of ​​fire.

This step is not difficult and can be completed as long as the total amount of divinity reaches a higher level.

Li Yi naturally completed it easily.

The scene of the third level is an area with lightning and thunder.

This level also begins to involve converting divinity into uncontrollable energy to offset the constant lightning strikes.

If you use other techniques like divine shield, you will be kicked out and can only operate according to the requirements of the message prompts.

It was at this level that Tan Haode mastered the method of transforming unstable energy, successfully bringing his explosive characteristics to a higher level and greatly improving his combat power.

The difficulty of this level began to increase. Fortunately, Li Yi had been thinking about it day and night and pondering it all the time due to the various tower-breaking activities during this period, and he was able to often produce memory fragments of various divine control techniques.

Although they have little correlation with property transformation, they are essentially the skill category of divine manipulation.

Therefore, the divine manipulation skills that he had previously mastered were gradually moving towards proficiency.

I estimate that if we continue for a while, we will be able to master this entire skill category.

By that time, the combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.

Therefore, with so many valuable resources at his disposal, he was able to quickly succeed in the third stage of transformation of divine energy after just a few tries.

At this moment, under the dark clouds with lightning and thunder.

Invisible divinity floated out from inside and outside Li Yi's body one after another, slowly transforming into unstable divine energy, showing a faint blue color.

suddenly.

Boom! The first lightning bolt began to strike down. In the dark clouds, a snake as thick as a thumb snake meandered down and suddenly touched the free divine energy more than ten meters above Li Yi's head.

BANG!!! With a loud bang, the lightning and the unstable divine energy came into contact and suddenly exploded, emitting a violent shock sound.

Although this sound cannot be compared with the terrifying thunder when the mysterious thought manifests itself in the world, it still has some power.

However, Li Yi knew that this level also required ten minutes of persistence, which was not easy.

He immediately stepped up his efforts to release the divinity, and through the method of the spire's information prompts, he continuously squeezed and rubbed the divinity, transforming it into a series of faint blue gas masses that were suspended in the air more than ten meters above.

Any higher would be beyond his limit.

If the divinity has not yet been converted into energy, with his current out-of-body control skills and soul strength, he can control it freely at a distance of fifteen or sixteen meters from the body.

But if it is converted into energy, it will basically be out of his control and will not belong to him.

Therefore, he cannot produce too much of this unstable energy at one time. If he produces too much, they will come into contact and cause an explosion.

If lightning strikes between explosions, you're out.

When Li Yi created a large ball of free energy, another bolt of lightning struck down.

Crack! Boom! Boom!

Lightning flashed frequently in the area, illuminating everything.

Finally, Li Yi managed to hold on until the end of the third level and let out a long sigh.

"Not bad. If it were any other evolver, their eardrums would have been ruptured by this thunderous sound."

“No wonder most of them didn’t make it past the third level. Only two Heavenly Ranks and a few people from the Thunder God and Fire God levels made it through this level.”

To transform divinity into unstable energy, it is extremely easy for the divinities of the God of Fire and God of Thunder to succeed.

The Ice God and Wind God sequence, on the contrary, is relatively stable and not easy to transform successfully through squeezing and friction.

It can be seen that the difficulty of transforming divine energy also depends on the characteristics of the divinity itself.

The scene of the fourth level is still one of thunder and lightning.

However, the intensity of lightning will become much stronger.

Li Yi must create a larger unstable divine energy ball in order to detonate the lightning.

If the intensity is not enough, the lightning will have enough energy to penetrate directly.

Therefore, even if it is blocked for a moment, as long as it slips through, the result will still be elimination.

This level also blocked everyone except Mu Tianlei.

Even Lin Wendong failed to pass this level, and the unstable divine energy ball he created was still not strong enough.

It can be seen that although the total amount of divinity of the Heavenly Rank strongmen is far stronger than that of the upper-level evolutionaries, the quality of their divinity is not far behind.

Of course, it may also be because the divinity of the Celestial God Sequence is stable enough that it is difficult to be rubbed into unstable energy.

Lin Wendong's strength actually hindered him from continuing to pass the level.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The reason why Mu Tianlei was able to pass this level smoothly was naturally because this was his original family sequence, and playing with the characteristics of thunder and lightning was his basic skill.

Even though he did not learn the corresponding conversion techniques here, he mastered a lot of tricks through a lot of practice.

Now with the help of this spire, it is like fire meeting dry wood, and it is very fierce.

Li Yisheng is now gradually mastering the skills of controlling divinity, and there are many kinds of divinity in his body, so there are many ways to play.

It’s just that the total amount of divinity of his single characteristic is insufficient, and he needs to consider the adaptability of different divinities during micro-management, which is also a hassle.

Therefore, after holding out for the seventh minute in the fourth level, he was missed by a bolt of lightning and fell directly to the ground, leaving the conversion spire with regret.

But he was not dissatisfied with this. Once he got familiar with the rhythm, he would be able to pass the fourth level.

In the last few days, he basically decided to spend time in these spires and push them to their limits.

At present, his exploration progress of each spires is as follows: the eleventh level of the Spire Spire, the ninth level of the Vision Spire, the eighth level of the Characteristic Spire, the fourth level of the Infinite Spire, and the fourth level of the Conversion Spire.

The other knowledge towers, except for the soul tower which you are sure to clear the first level before leaving, only record the corresponding knowledge information or information patterns. After the relevant basic knowledge is improved, or as time goes by, when enough subject knowledge is acquired, you should be able to apply it to other areas.

Of course, if the decryption skill is perfected, it should also be able to increase the clearance rate of knowledge towers.

As for the people in the group, several of them also did some exploration to some extent and sorted out a lot of knowledge.

I believe that this knowledge will bring them a lot of points and help them get into the top ten.

However, overall, those who have a better chance of entering the top ten are basically only Jiang Chaoqun, Xu Weilu, Tan Haode, Liang Zhishen, and Hu Yitong.

They either performed differently while exploring the spire and gained different knowledge.

Or it was when he faced the mysterious mecha interception before, and made a significant contribution in the battle and achieved considerable results.

Or both.

Some other people, due to their limited strength and the fact that the exploration height of each spires is indeed not high, are estimated to have few points and their hope of entering the top ten is much lower.

After all, it is impossible for the other groups to achieve nothing in two months.

As long as the captains are not too unlucky and find one or two mining stars that are not recorded, I believe it will be enough to enter the top ten.

As for the injured Lin Huiyi, she naturally didn't have any chance at all.

Fortunately, those who fell behind naturally did not give up. They tried to find ways to break through in other knowledge towers and gain the first batch of insightful knowledge.

…

BANG!!! Li Yi was ejected from outside the conversion spire.

At this time, Liang Zhishen seemed to have been waiting for him here. When he saw him pop up, he immediately said:

"How is it? Judging from your time, you should have made it to the third or fourth level, right?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Fourth level, why are there others?"

Liang Zhishen said: "Something happened. There are aliens wandering outside. They are very powerful. Commander Mu and Captain Lin went to meet them."

Li Yi asked curiously: "Then why don't you enter the divine mecha?"

When he looked, he found no trace of the divine mecha.

Liang Zhishen said:

"Because the roaming area is not on our planet 33. The range of activities of the group of wandering aliens outside is not far away on the nearby planet 29."

"The aliens have mastered the means to detect free divinity. If we activate it, this location will likely be detected remotely."

"Both officers used small starships to be deployed near No. 31, and then launched to attack."

Li Yi suddenly realized:

"In order to prevent our southern ruins from being observed remotely by them, have we passed on the message that our divine mechas have been stored in the starship?"

Liang Zhishen nodded and said:

"That's right. Let's go to the starship first. The starship is now setting up a large virtual projection to cover the entire overturned ruins dome."

"Once the coverage is completed, our group will set out to provide support."

"After all, if we leave here without setting up anything, it will be troublesome if we are detected remotely. Once the news is passed back, the defense pressure on the border star will definitely increase greatly."

Li Yi nodded immediately, and he and Liang Zhishen quickly leaped forward and climbed up the wall.

Since the divine mecha had been stored back in the starship, they had no choice but to crawl out if they wanted to leave.

Of course, it’s not that they can’t fly. With their size, their divine powers are difficult to detect remotely.

But now that things have come to this, there is naturally no need to create further trouble.

…

Inside the ship, everyone stayed in the cockpit, watching Xiaozhuang remotely direct the robots to set up the virtual projection equipment.

Li Yi now had sufficient knowledge of virtual reality. At this moment, he quickly understood Xiaozhuang's operating logic.

"I see. Eight projection devices and a small computing machine work together to create a highly realistic hillside?"

Xiaozhuang turned to look at Li Yi and said in surprise:

"You can do it, Li Yi. Can you understand the calculation code of my virtual image of the hillside?"

Li Yi said: "Not bad, I have done some research."

Xiao Zhuang said, "That's great. If you weren't such a genius, I would have suggested that you switch from being a mecha master to specializing in virtual reality. Switching from an Evolver to other fields is basically easy, after all, your basic brain power is much stronger than other non-Evolvers."

Li Yi said: "Then I will definitely refuse."

Xiao Zhuang smiled and said, "Of course, you are right to refuse. Your talent should be used in a higher-level field."

As he was speaking, the virtual projection in front had been set up. Xiaozhuang confirmed it and hit the button to start it.

Then, the overturned dome of the ruins instantly returned to its original state in front of everyone, as if it had never been overturned.

The traces on the ground all fit perfectly with the scene next door.

But soon, Xiaozhuang frowned.

Li Yi also discovered the problem and said, "There are too many traces of the ground around here being bombarded by divine energy cannons. Various shock waves have swept through it, and it is very different from the ground farther away. If the aliens are more careful, wouldn't they also find the abnormality?"

Xiao Zhuang said, "Indeed, Captain Lin has caused me a lot of trouble. I had a great time fighting him, but there are so many traces around..."

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about we set up a larger one? I'll help you?"

Xiao Zhuang sighed and said, "Alright, that's the only way... Wait, you assist???"

Li Yi nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have learned the information you gave me before, so I have some experience."

Xiao Zhuang said in disbelief: "Haha, don't lie to me. It took me many years to master it. You have already mastered it in just two months?"

Li Yi said: "Then just tell me whether you need assistance or not. Time waits for no one. If the aliens really find out the abnormality here, the border star will be under great pressure in the future."

Xiaozhuang suddenly became conflicted.

Li Yi shouted, "Hurry up and assign the tasks to me. Are you still an upper-level evolver? Why are you so fussy? As long as it's not too difficult, even if it's a hardware problem, I can handle it. Just do it as soon as possible!"

Xiaozhuang was stunned and nodded immediately, "Okay."

Immediately and quickly started operating on the keyboard.

Not to mention Xiaozhuang, everyone in the group, including Zhou Fuli's group of six, were also stunned by Li Yi.

After all, ever since they met Li Yi, Li Yi has always been very gentle and considerate of other people's emotions.

Moreover, in just two months, is it really so hard that he found time to learn such complicated virtual reality knowledge?
