early morning.

Natural Empire, main base for high-energy magic research, round table meeting hall.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and a year had passed since Rosen took back the Endless Compass.

"Click~~"

Rosen threw the Infinite Compass in the middle of the round table at any time and smiled to the high-energy research mages around the round table: "Finally figured this thing out."

During this year, he focused his main energy on studying the compass.

In order to achieve this, he maximized his soul strength to increase Lai Fu's computing power limit.

Now, his soul strength has been optimized to legendary 8.4, and its size has increased 12 times compared to the original.

Together with the latest improved Supreme Crown, you get the legendary 16.8, 240,000 Rosen's magnificent soul.

It is almost on par with Adela, the goddess of life in Legend 17.

In addition to his personal strength, he also tried his best to increase investment in the empire's high-energy magic.

The main high-energy research base under his feet is one of them.

This main research base is located in the north of Weilan, covering an area of ​​over 3,000 square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of ​​​​Beluga Island.

There are more than 30 sub-laboratories in the base, and more than 100,000 mages doing related research. The average mana level is 6, and there are 389 legendary mages among them.

The fact that it has developed to this point is partly the result of Rosen's deliberate guidance, and partly because the country has become rich.

Today, there are countless food synthesis factories in the empire, which not only convert cellulose but have even tried to synthesize it directly using inorganic substances.

This resulted in food production reaching staggering scales and prices becoming extremely low.

The Empire has also built 18 solar cores.

The price dropped to the level of boiled water.

With the supply of cheap and abundant energy, various industries in society have experienced explosive development.

As a result, the country became incredibly wealthy.

When a person becomes rich, he either degenerates or elevates himself.

The same result will occur if a country made up of countless individuals becomes rich.

Either you live a life of luxury and indulge in enjoyment, or you work hard and strive for higher levels.

As the emperor of the empire, Rosen could clearly feel that a trend of extravagance and enjoyment was gradually emerging among the people of the empire.

This is a natural law and a phenomenon that is bound to occur and cannot be changed by personal will.

But we cannot change it, but we can guide it.

Since material is extremely abundant, there will always be great waste, so it is better to waste it on pursuing higher magic and mysteries.

Emperor Rosen has been using public opinion, beliefs, and laws to guide and infuse as much social power as possible into areas related to magic.

Thus, an astonishing high-energy magic base was born.

And this is just the beginning.

My gaze returned to the round table meeting hall in front of me.

There are 72 high-energy research mages in the hall, who are the core mages of the high-energy magic laboratory.

Some of them are laboratory directors, some are geniuses among geniuses, and all of them are legendary wizards.

With the help of the learned artifact, the minimum soul strength reaches Legend 8, and the soul scale is above 1500 Rosens.

Each of them is very young, with an average age of less than 32 years old, and they are basically talented graduates from various advanced magic academies in the empire.

And 99% of them are of common origin.

There are so many talented people that they are emerging from the people like fountains.

Almost all the faces in front of him were new. If it weren't for Lai Fu's help, Rosen would not have been able to remember them all.

At this time, the head of the laser laboratory spread his hands, with some joy on his young face, but not much.

"Your Majesty, although we have figured out its function and found some good uses for it, it does not seem to be worthy of the title of a divine weapon."

The chief designer of the Sun's core commented: "Although the types of high-energy elements synthesized by the Endless Compass are many, they are too ordinary."

The so-called high-energy elements are a strange combination of high-energy spiritual essence and elements.

This high-energy element is very stable, and its physical and chemical properties are almost identical to those of ordinary elements, but its magical properties are two orders of magnitude higher than those of ordinary elements.

It looks beautiful, but what is converted currently are light elements such as high-energy hydrogen, high-energy oxygen, and high-energy carbon.

It does have many applications, but its function is indeed one level lower than that of another artifact, the Branch of Life.

A wizard speculated: "Perhaps, we can use these high-energy elements to create high-energy life?"

"It is foreseeable that this kind of high-energy elemental life must possess incredible magical power."

Immediately a wizard asked, "How do we make it? These high-energy elements are very poisonous."

It is indeed very poisonous. Just more than 300 ml of high-energy water can poison an ordinary person to death, and the death is extremely tragic.

This characteristic also greatly limits the application of high-energy elements.

Another mage said: "Although it is poisonous, it is still far from being as deadly as the real poison."

"It is certainly difficult to create life from scratch, but it is possible to replace it."

"From the current biological replacement experiments, it is possible to replace a complex element life with a high-energy element life by feeding it a small amount of high-energy food day after day."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted doubts.

"Feeding alone is useless. The proportion is too small. It is impossible to completely replace it. Even 5% cannot be replaced."

"Then use fine life spells to cooperate."

"It's a good idea, but it's very difficult to operate. If you're not careful, you could end up dying."

"Yes, the difficulty is too high. I think it is far beyond the limit of what a mortal can handle."

"In my opinion, it is better to use the Infinite Compass to directly transform the ordinary elements in complex life forms into high-energy elements."

"Your method is even less reliable."

"There are so many elements in a living being, and the reactions are extremely complex. If they are directly transformed, it will be enough to tear the body of a living being apart bit by bit. It is simply the most horrific torture in the mortal world!"

The talented wizards were discussing at the same time.

Most of the time, Rosen listened quietly, occasionally interrupting and expressing his own opinions.

Finally, all the wizards unanimously proposed to set up a high-energy life research institute to specifically study how to create high-energy life.

The country is not short of money now, so Rosen certainly passed the proposal.

At the same time, he already had an idea that was a little crazy and that only he could accomplish.

This idea is related to Lai Fu, which is Rosen's unique secret.

So, he didn't say much about his thoughts, but just took a large number of high-energy elements synthesized by the Endless Compass and returned to his secret laboratory.

After entering the secret laboratory, Rosen sorted these life-related high-energy elements into different categories.

These high-energy elements are very strange and look almost exactly the same as ordinary elements.

For example, high-energy carbon looks like black carbon powder.

When mixed with ordinary carbon powder, they are impossible to distinguish from each other, and it is even difficult to separate them by physical and chemical means.

The only effective way to separate them is to use magic.

Rosen's plan was very simple, which was to use these high-energy elements to replace the ordinary elements in his body bit by bit, so as to build a body made of pure high-energy elements.

For ordinary mages, this task is naturally as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But it was not a difficult task for him.

Of course, this is still a very risky matter, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Therefore, Rosen did not rush to attack himself.

He first conducted animal experiments.

With the assistance of Lai Fu's super computing power and the ultra-high-quality life branches as observation and operation tools, the experiment was not difficult and went quite smoothly.

Two days later, Rosen successfully created a living high-energy snail.

At first glance, this snail looks no different from an ordinary snail.

Rosen tried to use an attack spell on it.

Use a ring of lightning first.

"Snap~"

Tiny bolts of lightning struck the snail.

If it were ordinary snails, a thousand of them would have died, but the high-energy snail was safe and sound, and even gained some lightning power.

"Tsk tsk, the amazingly powerful strength affinity attribute is much stronger than I expected."

"I originally guessed that the body of a true god should be composed of high-energy spiritual essence, but now it seems that I was only half right."

"A true god should be a god-like being composed of high-energy spiritual essence fused with ordinary elements."

Of course, snails are far from satisfying Rosen's desire to explore unknown knowledge.

He immediately began to replace other kinds of life.

Fish, frogs, turtles, chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, cows, sheep, and even apes.

All the replacements were successful.

At the same time, Lai Fu will be trained to have a new high-energy element replacement ability.

Rosen called this ability "Forging a Divine Body".

"The high-energy replacement reaction is completely feasible. The high-energy life that is replaced has amazing magical abilities, and the more complex the life, the greater the ability improvement!"

"However, during the replacement process, the huge difference in the properties of ordinary elements and high-energy elements will cause a serious imbalance of power in the body."

"The stronger the force that replaces the body, the greater the imbalance of power, and the more dangerous it is."

“If you want to complete a safe replacement, you must have a control center with extremely high computing power and strong capabilities to ensure the orderly replacement process.”

The role of this "control center" is played by the newly trained ability of "Forging Divine Body".

"The animal experiments and even the monkey substitution experiments were successful, and Lai Fu's abilities were trained to perfection."

"Now there is only one last step left."

The final step, of course, is to replace the elements of your own body.

The last step is the most critical, the most difficult, and the most dangerous. Any mistake will result in sudden death.

Rosen sat in the secret laboratory, looking at a pile of high-energy elements in front of him, his heart lost in thought.

"If I don't do it, my power will reach its limit. My magic power is limited to Legendary 19, and I will never be able to break through to the realm of high-energy magic."

"But the legendary realm is actually just the power of eleven magic rings. It is still a long way from the pinnacle of magic."

"If I do, I might die, and that would be the end of everything."

"But then again, I've lived to this point and have seen all the scenery in the world. Even if I die, there's nothing to regret."

"How many chances do you have in your life to take risks? Take a chance and your motorcycle will turn into a plane!"

Rosen decided to start.

So, he silently said in his heart: "Laifu, run "Forge Divine Body", forge the target: the main body."

"This behavior involves self-operation, which carries a certain risk of error. Do you want to continue?"

"continue."

"Confirm the mission and start executing."

"Casting begins."

Following this command, the life force condensed by the branches of life finely manipulated the high-energy elements.

Eventually it will be condensed into a large pot of 'high-energy nutrient solution'.

According to the myths and legends on Earth, this nutrient solution is the nectar of the gods, and can only be drunk by gods. If a mortal drinks it, he will die suddenly if his luck is insufficient.

Now, Rosen is just a mortal who wants to become a god.

He has prepared everything he can, and whether he can succeed depends entirely on his luck.

He took a deep breath, picked up the high-energy nutrient solution, and drank it all in one gulp.

To be honest, it tastes pretty delicious, a bit like vegetable stew.

The taste is a bit numb and crisp, as if electricity was passed through.

As the nutrient solution enters his stomach, "Forged Divine Body" controls the high-energy elements in it and replaces the ordinary elements in Rosen's body bit by bit.

The replacement process was silent. Rosen didn't feel much. He just felt his body was numb and warm, just like he had drunk a big mouthful of hot broth in the cold winter.

Of course, the replaced ordinary elements will not disappear out of thin air.

Some turns into dead skin on the surface of the skin, some turns into sweat, and some turns into feces and urine, and is continuously excreted from the body.

A percentage progress bar appears in Rosen's vision, showing the progress of the replacement.

"67%68%69%"

Rosen continued to drink the "nutrient solution" until he had drunk an amount equivalent to the total amount of physical elements. The replacement process then reached the most critical and dangerous step, which was to replace the ordinary elements of the brain.

If Rosen did it himself, he would definitely be flustered and would easily make mistakes.

But Lai Fu is an emotionless soul GPT.

To it, this is just a system upgrade.

The replacement process continued as planned without any disturbances.

It was not known how long it had been, but Rosen felt his vision distorted and suddenly became completely dark. He could not see anything, and he could not feel anything except his own consciousness.

It felt like I had entered into nothingness.

Because there was no external reference, he had no idea how much time had passed.

Then, the vision brightened up again.

I turned to look at the laboratory clock and found that less than 10 seconds had passed.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen heard Lai Fu's voice.

'The high-energy elements have been completely replaced, and the self-body has been cast.'

'Perfectly integrated with the Supreme Crown, an independent magic ring is generated. The current magic ring strength is 11.84 (equivalent to 16.8 in Legendary), and the maximum effective range of the magic ring is 3 meters in diameter (equivalent to the scale of 300,000 Rosen souls).'

This power is much stronger than before, and it no longer relies on external magic rings, but condenses an independent magic ring on its own! Rosen's mind moved slightly, and as his thoughts came together, he took a step forward. The light and shadow in front of him suddenly changed, and then he found that he had directly entered the eleventh magic ring.

Looking back, you see the ten-layer Dharma Ring, and looking forward, you see the void outside the ring.

There is nothing wrong with the body, and there is no need to expend energy gathering strength to prevent it from being lost.

The thought came to him again, and he activated the phase transfer technique.

In a moment we arrived in Navarat, and in another moment we were back in Neuschwanstein Castle.

The whole process was natural and there was no discomfort.

But the inter-dimensional phase shift consumed a huge amount of energy.

The scale of his force dropped from 300,000 Rosens at its peak to 100,000 Rosens.

This power is also very strange. It is similar to soul power and magic power, and is a combination of the two.

"I now possess an endogenous independent magic ring, so this power should be the power of the magic ring, or it can also be called divine power."

"But how do I replenish my divine power?"

After careful consideration, I found the method.

"As expected of a divine body, it can draw power directly from the environment."

"Well, it looks great, but in practice, it is still constrained by the laws of the world."

The result of the constraints of the world's laws is that the higher the energy of the target, the more efficient the power absorption will be.

To gain power quickly and violently, you must draw from a power core such as the Sun Core or the Heart of Eternity.

You can also gain a lot of power from tides, sunlight, and volcanic eruptions.

If there is no other option, you can also absorb power from the burning blackstone, burning firewood, or various spells cast by the enemy.

Rosen's secret laboratory is connected to the solar power grid.

He simply placed his hands on the high-voltage switch to draw power from the power grid.

"Buzz~~"

In about 3 seconds, Rosen's strength was replenished, from the previous 100,000 Rosen to 300,000 Rosen.

He secretly sighed: "The energy in the power grid is so delicious!"

After figuring out the power supply issue, Rosen began to think about specific life issues.

'My body is made of high-energy elements, which are poisonous to ordinary life. Similarly, ordinary elements are also poisonous to me.'

'But life is active, constantly exchanging substances with the environment, and all around me are ordinary elements.'

'So I'm living in a toxic environment.'

After careful consideration, Rosen found that the matter was not as serious as he had imagined.

'The ordinary elements that enter my body are automatically transformed into high-energy elements, at the cost of consuming strength.'

'It consumes about 100,000 additional Rosens' power every day.'

Therefore, as long as we ensure sufficient supply of power, we can live in peace.

But high-energy elements are also toxic to ordinary people.

Ordinary elements enter his body and come out as high-energy elements, so he is a "source of poison".

This matter must be resolved, otherwise it would be a suicidal act.

Fortunately, Rosen is very familiar with the characteristics of high-energy elements.

After some trial and error, he successfully created an elemental cycle spell.

Spell Effect: 'All elements that enter the divine body are automatically endowed with high-energy properties, and elements that leave the divine body automatically decay into ordinary elements.'

The benefit of the spell is that Rosen can live freely in the mortal world, and because of the existence of the cycle, he can recycle most of the power from the decaying high-energy elements.

As a result, the fixed daily power consumption was reduced from 100,000 Rosens to 6,000 Rosens.

It suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The downside of the spell is that it is extremely sophisticated and complex, and is controlled by Lai Fu, and will occupy a fixed 5% of Lai Fu's computing power.

At this moment, Lai Fu's computing power has reached an incredibly astonishing level, and 5% of the computing power is already extremely incredible.

This means that only Rosen can use this elemental cycle spell.

The source of power and life problems have been solved, and the only problem left is how to increase power.

After some research, Rosen also figured it out.

"The method of improvement is similar to the past, which is to use the branches of life to optimize the body structure."

"Theoretically, as long as we optimize day by day, we can optimize it to 23 rings."

"However, if I am in the 11th ring mortal world, once my strength exceeds the 11th ring, my own magic ring will transfer power to the plane magic ring, resulting in an increase in daily power loss."

"The stronger my self-magic ring is, the more power will be transferred, and the harder it will be to maintain."

"According to calculations, when I reach the 13th ring of strength, I will lose 300,000 Rosens every day until I drop back to the peak of the 11th ring."

"So, if I want to become stronger and more stable, I have to either go to the Abyss or perfect the plane rings into 23 rings."

Obviously, the best way is to create a world that suits you.

Rosen looked at the current situation on the mainland.

The Glorious Empire has completely seized the Dragon Islands and began to threaten the homeland of the Holy Elf Empire.

But Dritan's injuries fully recovered a month ago, and he returned to the mortal world, planning to retake the Dragon Islands.

"It will take about three years to build the Empire's sky battleship. But I can't wait any longer."

What to do if you can't wait? Of course, go to the Holy Elf Empire to cause trouble and find a way to kill Druitan.

We cannot kill them quietly; we have to execute them publicly in front of the elves to completely destroy the elves' will to resist.

'I couldn't do it before, but now, it's still a little dangerous, but it's doable.'

Should we do it or not?

Of course.

It would be a shame not to go to the Holy Elf Empire to wander around.

Sorry, sorry, the update is finished and it took a while to modify the details.
