"It has to be human."
Doehring repeated his requirements for the body he would be resurrected in.
"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley hurriedly contacted Lin Ke in the System Space. "About how many Energy Points would something like this take?"
Linley seemed a little nervous.
After all, this was to help Grandpa Doehring come back to life.
If it still required a huge number of Energy Points,
wouldn't Grandpa Doehring have to keep waiting?
"Earth Element talent and a human body?" A human figure gradually took shape in front of Lin Ke in the System Space. "No problem. This is easy, and it won't cost much. Plus, I can guarantee he'll reach Paragon High-God."
"Paragon High-God?"
Hearing Lin Ke mention another concept he'd never heard of, Linley looked puzzled.
"That's right. Above Saint-level is God-level, which is divided into Low-Gods, Mid-Gods, and High-Gods. A Paragon High-God is the emperor of the gods, truly invincible among those at God-level."
Lin Ke gave Linley a brief explanation. "I've added the new item. You can check it out yourself."
At Lin Ke's words, Linley hurriedly opened the Mall Panel.
Earth Spirit Body: 100 billion Green Energy Points
[Earth Spirit Body: A naturally humanoid Divine Beast. Upon reaching adulthood, it becomes God-level. It is attuned to the Laws of the Earth and has the potential to become a Paragon High-God.]
Reading the new item's description, Linley found himself breathing heavily.
"Well?" Doehring asked anxiously when Linley remained silent. "What did your elder say?"
"Grandpa Doehring." Linley looked up at Doehring, his face alight with excitement. "It's possible. It'll just take some time to prepare, but this body will absolutely be worth it. It can be cultivated all the way to..."
It's possible!
Doehring completely missed everything else Linley said. He heard only those three words.
He
could really have a body again and set foot on the path of cultivation once more.
Even after a lifetime of countless experiences, Doehring was momentarily stunned.
"Grandpa Doehring? Grandpa Doehring?"
Only after Linley called out several times did Doehring come back to his senses.
"I'm fine." Doehring shook his head, trying to calm himself. "Linley, does your elder have any requirements?"
"No other requirements." Linley shook his head. "Or rather, the requirement is for me."
"For you?" Doehring's expression changed. "If it's too unreasonable, then forget it. Now that I know about Laws and Profound Mysteries, I still have hope of becoming a god eventually, even without a body."
Doehring looked at Linley with all the concern of an elder.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Doehring!" Linley smiled. "It's a trial for me. As long as I kill enough Magical Beasts, my elder will rebuild your body."
"Kill enough Magical Beasts?" Doehring looked enlightened. "So your elder was the reason you insisted on coming to the Magical Beast Mountain Range this time?"
In Doehring's mind, killing Magical Beasts was simply a way for Linley's elder to put him through a trial.
Little did he know that the number of Magical Beasts Linley had to kill was an astronomical figure.
At 40 Green Energy Points per Level Three Magical Beast, he would need to kill two and a half billion to reach 100 billion Green Energy Points.
Even if he killed nothing but Seventh-Level Magical Beasts, he would still need to kill a hundred million.
"Strength." Linley clenched his fists. "I need to increase my strength as quickly as possible. Only then can I gather enough Energy Points sooner."
With that thought, Linley reopened the Mall Panel.
Purple Light Dew (Complete Version): 10,000 Green Energy Points
T-Virus (Complete Version): 10,000 Green Energy Points
Purple Light Dew: 1 Green Energy Point
T-Virus: 1 Green Energy Point
"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley looked at the Purple Light Dew and T-Virus in the Mall and asked Lin Ke, "What's the difference between the complete versions of the Purple Light Dew and the T-Virus?"
"Of course there's a difference." Lin Ke waved his hand, and all the experimental items in the System Space vanished. "One drop of the complete Purple Light Dew can increase your physique by 7,000 points and your mental strength by 3,000. The complete T-Virus can increase your mental strength by 7,000 points and your physique by 3,000. Worth the price, wouldn't you say?"
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, excitement crept into Linley's gaze as he looked at the Mall.
"The most important thing for me now is to increase my strength and gather Energy Points. Improving my physique is the fastest way for me to get stronger."
After weighing it over, Linley made his decision. "Big Brother Lin Ke, exchange nine doses of Purple Light Dew for me."
"No problem. Do you want to take them right away?" Lin Ke nodded, then added, "You can take anything exchanged from the system without any side effects. There's no need to worry about the medicinal effects being too powerful."
"I'll take them all!"
A note of determination flashed through Linley's eyes. The next moment, cool liquid appeared in his mouth.
Its sweet, refreshing taste made Linley feel as if he were drinking fruit juice.
But the changes in his body were tumultuous.
Beside him, Doehring was still lost in the wonderful thought that he would soon have a body of his own.
Then Linley's transformation jolted him out of it.
"His mental strength—Linley's mental strength is breaking through rapidly?"
Doehring stared in shock at Linley, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
In that instant, Linley's mental strength had already broken through to Level Three, and it still wasn't stopping. It continued to rise.
As a Saint-level mage, Doehring had the keenest sense for mental strength.
Yet he had never seen anyone's mental strength increase so rapidly in his life.
"Is this the might of a God-level powerhouse?" Doehring was momentarily dazed. "No wonder the High Priest and War God have so many Saint-level powerhouses under their command."
Doehring sighed.
The High Priest was much older than Doehring, so he didn't think much of it.
But the War God was only a little older than Doehring.
Doehring had always felt that if he were still alive, he might have been able to stand alongside the War God.
But now, sensing Linley's strength increase so rapidly, he finally understood. The gap between Saint-level and God-level was utterly insurmountable.
It had to be said that although Doehring had imagined the reason incorrectly, he'd reached the right conclusion.
Saint-level powerhouses, no matter how powerful, could never defeat a Low-God.
Even if that Low-God had only become a god by refining a Divine Spark.
The Purple Light Dew produced by the system didn't require such a long time to absorb.
In just a few breaths, Linley's strength had undergone a complete transformation.
"Big Brother Lin Ke, show me my current attributes."
