Anxious Enough to Cry
"The chapters were uninteresting and lacked substance; they had some clever touches, but they weren't very helpful to me."
Lan Cijiu, who didn't even know where Su Luo, thought for a moment and decided to hide first.
This Scholar is terrifying. The final value might not be high, but the startup is fucking fast. By the first day, the Attribute is probably already at 23.
What Lan Cijiu was not Su Luo herself.
There was some kind of eerie thing following him, and that was actually the scariest thing.
"That's a bit pitiful, being targeted by some ghost."
Lan Cijiu looked around, then jumped straight from the edge of the floating island into the sea of clouds, heading towards the [miasma] below the world.
Based on the pattern of the previous two eras, the most dangerous places were actually the safest. In the end, the whole world was dragged into Chaos, and the Demon Insects that stayed in the Black Nest beneath the world were actually the last creatures to die.
There's no need for the Third Era to engage in direct conflict; simply boosting their World Influence is sufficient.
Lan Cijiu very clearly.
This Dungeon has two gameplay modes.
One is to actively enter the fray in every era, striving to enhance its own global adaptability and influence, rapidly rebuilding and iterating with the help of changing times, crushing its peers and surpassing the strong, and Suppression the entire field with absolute strength.
However, there is one downside: most Survivors believe that this Large Dungeon will eventually lead to Essence free-for-all and a chaotic battle.
If we stumble and lose sight of the Essence at some point in the middle, thus affecting the final battle, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Therefore, Survivor are truly confident in their own Essence have another option:
In the early and middle periods, they remained low-key Hibernation, avoiding war and merely surviving. They did not compete for resources, did not vie for rankings, and did not engage in confrontations, thus preserving their essential Essence intact.
When the final era arrives, the Essence of the entire game will be fully unlocked, the rules will be completely lifted, and the combat power will be completely unleashed. Then, it will suddenly emerge, sweeping across the entire game and reaping all the benefits of the era.
To ensure a safe outcome, players can even actively hunt down other Survivors. After all, the Dungeon rules clearly state that if 150 Survivors remain, everyone can clear the dungeon and obtain the final qualification.
However, there are still Essence problems such as slow unlocking and the uncertainty of reaching the final era. Moreover, these Survivors have already been actively hunted down by various Survivor factions twice!
The decision to Lan Cijiu and remain Hibernation throughout the Third Era, avoiding the risks of conflict and eliminating any possibility of damage to its Essence, is to accumulate strength and wait for the Endgame, so as to compete for the ultimate victory in the competition for the perfect Essence.
How can Essence in their early 28s possibly compete with Essence?
This Large Dungeon ultimately belongs to the world of Rainbow Badge.
Even though the changing times and iterations have leveled the playing field for everyone, putting all Survivors on a seemingly equal starting line, the peak figures at the finish line have already been fixed.
All the ups and downs, the fierce competition and battles in between, are merely insignificant preludes.
During the fall, Lan Cijiu closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then murmured:
"It's really not a big deal; there are plenty of spots available. Not all Survivors have a strong sense of [Exclusion]; cooperation and mutual benefit are entirely possible."
"Ugh, how can this Goushi Silk Mana and garbage era be so wicked!"
"Su Luo, whose Source Essence Circulation Technique couldn't be activated, cried in despair!"
Su Luo glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, who was still talking non-stop in mid-air.
"Shut up."
Yun Xiaoxiao sensed that Su Luo's Attribute points had exceeded 20, so she remained silent.
Su Luo held a lava meteor-shaped Spell with a power level of approximately Ninth Rings in her hand, examining it closely.
The higher the energy level, the more complex the model, the more refined the Mana, the more powerful the elements, and the more powerful the Spells.
The so-called energy affinity and advanced energy control Essence have only two core aspects in Mana Side: one is the in-depth analysis of microscopic Mana scale, and the other is the attraction and gathering of macroscopic Mana of heaven and earth.
It's like the strong and the weak fighting over a ladle of water. The weak try to scoop up the water and carry it away, while the strong can precisely grasp every single water molecule and snatch it all away without missing a single drop.
Therefore, the stronger Mana system is, the more powerful their Spells are, and the deeper their microscopic control over Mana; the deeper their microscopic control over Mana is, the more powerful their Spells are, and these are complementary.
Mana theory has a minimum unit, equivalent to the Planck length string in String Theory, but the reasoning process is more rigorous and the result is more straightforward.
However, Su Luo observed that the finer Silk Mana was not like this under high-energy conditions. At the subatomic level, the Primordial Mana would only be a Chaos mass, but the Silk Mana was different.
Under high-precision observation, it appears neither as a particle nor a wave, but as clumps of extremely fine threads, like spun fibers. Normal Primordial Mana is a Chaos fluid, but this thing seems to be in bundles.
This is the principle of encryption: artificially and forcibly constructing a form from the Primordial Mana that was not originally constructed at this scale.
This is equivalent to altering the microstructure, affecting macroscopic properties.
Su Luo has been using this principle all along, modifying molecules and atoms to create materials that can withstand temperatures exceeding hundreds of thousands of degrees and alloys with incredible strength.
The previous blueprint synthesis for the [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer] also involved this enhancement.
But the technology of Silk Mana is equivalent to directly altering the atomic nucleus at the subatomic level... which may not be that difficult.
For example, shaping the nuclei of all atoms in the world into a stylized form could influence atomic composition and macroscopic properties, thus "styling" the world.
"What the hell is this? What level of technology is this?"
Su Luo showed the data to Yun Xiaoxiao, who asked as if she were surprised.
The comparison between the micro and macro levels is extremely difficult; many people don't even know what this concept is, but she knows it perfectly well, which seems utterly hopeless.
The difficulty of splitting a three-kilometer-long mountain range in one stroke is far, far less than the difficulty of splitting an atomic nucleus in one stroke.
"I don't know, but it's very interesting, isn't it?"
Su Luo quelled the Spell, then collected some samples into the System Space, temporarily halted the experiment, and began to inquire about the important matters.
What are the corresponding Rituals of this era?
The first era was the [Awakening Ritual], the Second Era was the [Qi Awakening Ritual], so there's no reason why this era shouldn't exist.
Similarly, if the first era was [calamity] and the Second Era was [demonic], then this era also has a corresponding cataclysmic crisis.
Silk Woman was probably not born in a place like that again.
"Information about the Ritual is still not stored online; there are only some coded messages and administrative arrangements. I've compiled them here, and it roughly means that—a Seven-Ring Weave Mage, Grand Archmage, or someone of similar or higher status is required to guarantee eligibility."
"The content of the Ritual is not difficult to deduce. The Silk Mana of this world originates from the Demon Realm, and the purpose of the Ritual should be to bring us closer to the Demon Realm."
