74: Section 74

Once external energy flows back into the body, the metaphysical energy framework synchronizes from void to reality, and after a period of conversion, the external energy will be at one's disposal!

And this is precisely the fundamental basis for the upper limits of a player's energy, mana, rage, etc., as well as their automatic recovery.

So, how should one strengthen it?

Su Ming declared, "With Creation in hand, the world is mine!"

However, rashly adding other materials, even branches of the World Tree or the blood of a Dragon King, would absolutely be a surefire way to court death.

External objects won't work, but things that belong to Su Ming in every sense certainly will!

After some consideration, Su Ming focused his attention on three aspects: skills, talents, and authorities.

With a goal, Mental Imagery Deduction finally had a place to be put to use.

Little mental avatars branched out, and deep within the sea of the mind, the Heart Dimension Heavenly Palace busily began an experiment that would seem extremely insane to outsiders.

The conceptual existence of metaphysical entities was extracted through Gathering, including his own authorities, mastered skills, awakened talents, as well as Creation and Gathering, which he regarded as core skills.

Yes, even the Collection Skill itself was extracted.

Paradoxes that could never occur in the material world could coexist without contradiction in the realm of idealism.

Each little mental avatar even nested another layer of paradox on top of this, attempting to reorganize itself through the method of Creation!

The process of Mental Imagery Deduction was not smooth sailing; difficulties were merely commonplace.

Spontaneous explosions, flesh turning to mud, minds turning to ash, and souls being annihilated were the norm!

But in the end, by relying on infinite trial and error, one incorrect path after another was eliminated.

Holding high the banner of "Long Live the Brute-Force Method," Su Ming finally grasped the hope of success amidst a massive amount of errors.

Thus, Qi was born!

It was a type of primordial energy that condensed everything about his current self and carried a few high-dimensional traits.

Aside from naming it Qi, it was difficult for Su Ming to use other terms to explain this primordial energy.

After hearing Su Ming's explanation, Zhixin retorted in an indescribable tone, "You've gone so crazy that you're treating yourself as an object to be reforged by Creation, and you still say you're not mad! No, wait, I'm so frustrated by you, kid, that I'm confused!"

"I just want to ask, you went through all that trouble to pull this off."

"Risking becoming a lifeless object yourself, even if you successfully created this so-called high-dimensional energy called Qi, what is the use of it in the end?"

Moyi nodded repeatedly, expressing deep agreement.

On the surface, Su Ming was no different from before. He was still at the level where a single God-Killing Armor-Piercing Bullet would require desperate rescue efforts. If one had to name a difference... uh, does a slightly more harmonious temperament count?

Su Ming, however, was unhappy; how could Qi be useless?

Snap! With a snap of his fingers, a small phosphorus-iron ore vein ten kilometers away vanished in an instant, transforming into elemental substances and piling up in Su Ming's inventory.

It wasn't until Su Ming cleared his throat leisurely and took out the elemental phosphorus-iron to display it that the rumbling sound from afar slowly drifted over!

"In, interference from a distance?" Zhixin, the entire angel, was nearly shattered, "Wait, what about the process? Even if it's interference from a distance, there has to be a process, right?"

Spreading his hands, Su Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "A process? Hah, Gathering that acts directly on the atoms of the matter itself has no process!"

Hiss! Moyi gasped, saying with a hint of horror, "So you mean, you can even bypass all defenses, including flesh and skin, to directly remove the internal organs of a living being?"

His face darkened slightly! That sounded a bit too... much. It definitely had a vibe of those "heart-ripping and lung-tearing" stories from Northern Myanmar.

However, Su Ming shook his head and denied Moyi's conjecture, "It's not that easy. It's barely doable for mindless beasts, but for life forms with sound intelligence and subjective will, I have no way to do it."

Idealism also has its limits. If his idealism cannot penetrate the target, Su Ming's idealism cannot directly take effect inside the target. Even if the target is just a common mortal.

However, Su Ming's demonstration was not over. With a flick of his finger, that wisp of Qi, which seemed to exist yet not exist, and flickered in and out of form, turned into a wisp of holy light in the blink of an eye.

With the corner of her eye twitching slightly, Zhixin said in a tone of utter despair, "Holy Light? Hah, forget it, let everything be destroyed! Physics has completely ceased to exist!"

Moyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Su Ming was also struggling to hold back his laughter, "Yes, it is Holy Light, but it is also not just Holy Light..."

While speaking, the ethereal and unstable Qi at his fingertips flickered and took on another appearance. Holy Light! Mana! Rage! Fel Energy! Nature's Power! Even the dark energy most characteristic of angels. In just a few breaths, it changed more than a dozen times in succession!

"That's outrageous. Not only is the conversion natural and rapid, but there also seems to be no energy loss during the process!" Moyi marveled, "We never imagined that such a versatile energy could exist in the world."

But Su Ming shook his head and sighed softly, expressing with full helplessness, "It's not as mystical as you imagine. The current Qi has a major flaw... I can only synthesize it temporarily, but I cannot possess it long-term!"

"The reason?" "The level of Creation is insufficient!"

Upon hearing this, Zhixin's expression was complex. She didn't know whether to be relieved or to feel sorry for Su Ming.

But regardless, Zhixin still couldn't accept Su Ming's "sky-rocketing" cheat-like growth. It completely shattered her worldview.

But Su Ming had his own side of the story. Given the atmosphere of the Heavens, if you don't use cheats, you'd be too embarrassed to go out!

What does he have? Just a semi-finished Qi. The multiverse Heavenly Dao of the Imaginary Tree next door is even more unreasonable; by aligning with concepts and achieving unity of knowledge and action, even a bug can carve out a Path and instantly achieve the realm of an Aeon!

Furthermore, even with a semi-finished Qi, if he gets hit by a God-Killing Armor-Piercing Bullet, he's still going to die if he gets hit!

The successful derivation of Qi changed many things. For instance...

"Come! Zhixin! Let me show you something good." Holding the Tome of Scholars, Su Ming smirked and, ignoring the girl's complex expression, forcibly shoved a pile of formulas into Zhixin's brain.

"These formulas..." Although she had expected it, Zhixin was still shocked to the point of scalp numbness by the rigorous, neat formulas in her mind that carried a sense of mathematical beauty.

"That's right, this is the Ultimate Axiom—the unique solution for maximizing the utilization of cosmic dark energy!"

Rubbing his temples, whether it was truly the unique solution remained debatable. But... was a 99.88% utilization rate truly the limit of the universe? No... it should be said that 99.88% utilization alone could already surpass the angels' current limits by two orders of magnitude!

Despite feeling a little bit disappointed, Zhixin still raised a smiling face, "Thank you, Su Ming, you've helped a lot!"

Su Ming waved his hand generously, "No need. I just used Qi to simulate the conversion process of cosmic dark energy; it was just a side task."

Pfft! What the hell was that sound? Oh! It turned out to be the sound of being stabbed in the heart. Then it's fine!

Hee hee! Watching little Zhixin gradually turn grayscale and nearly crumble into dust, Su Ming returned to the master bedroom to sleep, feeling refreshed.
