Speaking of the resources consumed to condense Heavy Water, Guan Ning thought of something else.
Generally speaking, a Psychic Master's Spiritual Force was stronger than their Genetic Origin Energy. For example, when the Nolanshan Family discovered Earth in the original story, Luo Feng's Genetic Origin Energy had broken through to Planetary Level Seven at a critical moment, while his Spiritual Force had risen to Stellar Level One.
Of course, that was because of Luo Feng's special Planetary Level ability, "Diamond Body," which greatly increased his body's resilience, allowing it to withstand the pressure of a three-level gap. Normally, the difference was two levels.
After the collision between the fragment of the Jade of Creation and the Origin Will of the Primordial Universe, the stability of his mindscape had greatly increased, allowing it to withstand a higher level of soul strength. Guan Ning was currently at Planetary Level One, but his soul strength could reach Stellar Level One.
One thing needed to be clarified: soul strength did not represent the strength of Spiritual Force. It was reflected at the level of consciousness.
