Dao Fruit (48.05%).
Looking at the data on the Star Compass, Liang Ji furrowed his brow and thought, Thank goodness.
"Thank goodness I checked the Dao Fruit's depletion in advance."
For a Star Lord to keep his Natal Star running normally and avoid backlash from excessive source depletion, the Dao Fruit's value could not fall below the strength of the Spirit Vein in his Natal Star.
Otherwise, if the Star Origin fell below the strength of the Star Spirit Vein, backlash was inevitable.
At present, the Star Spirit Vein in Liang Ji's Natal Star was at Fourth Order (80%). That meant his Natal Star had refined eighty Fourth-Order Void Mirage Demon Cores. It needed only twenty more to reach the full growth of Fourth Order and seek a chance to advance to Fifth Order.
Converted into a threshold for the Dao Fruit, that figure was 48%. If his Natal Star's source were depleted too much and the Dao Fruit's power fell below 48%, Liang Ji would inevitably suffer backlash from his Natal Star again.
Now, however, the Dao Fruit's power had already fallen to 48.05%, perilously close to the threshold. Had he failed to check it beforehand and simply used his Natal Star's Star Origin to regrow his severed limb and restore his Golden Core's source, the Dao Fruit's power would have been consumed in large quantities, dropped below the threshold, and triggered backlash from his Natal Star.
"I'd better restore the Dao Fruit's power first."
Having made up his mind, Liang Ji sent his thoughts and consciousness into the Deification List within his Natal Star. He activated it to sense the Deification List projections he had left outside.
At present, he had left two projections of the Deification List outside: one in Mu Yun Star's underworld source, the other
