Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
First absorption 2 A faint black wisp leaves a slain mantis and enters Chen Lin’s body unnoticed.
Identified as Death Energy 3 Chen Lin observes that black light emerges whenever creatures die and is uniquely drawn to him.
System-recognized resource 6 A mass of black gas from dead beasts reaches the absorption threshold and awakens the Main God Inheritance Coffin.
32 points retained 7 The Guide explains that the coffin consumes 1 point daily and will erase its host if the balance becomes negative.
127 points retained 8 Completion of the Novice Trial Mission unlocks the Item Exchange System, allowing points to be spent on items.
1,541 points accumulated 13 Chen Lin’s increasingly efficient hunting after mastering the Shattering Nirvana Finger greatly improves collection.
8,114 points accumulated 17 Deaths during the Blood Pool Cleansing Ceremony produce a major influx; ordinary participating beasts yield at least 30 points, while Xiantian beasts yield up to 200.
Over 7,000 points remaining 20 Chen Lin spends 1,000 points on a deduction of the Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation, reducing an approximately 8,000-point reserve.
5,307 points retained 26 The Buddha Relic main quest threatens a 30,000-point penalty for failure.
8,937 points accumulated 36 Twelve ghosts yield 3,261 points in one encounter; early Xiantian ghosts provide over 230 points each, while peak Houtian ghosts provide over 50.
20,798 points accumulated 38 The death of a Sea-Opening Realm Yin Corpse grants roughly 20,000 points.
Over 50,000 points retained 49 Chen Lin maintains a large reserve but continues conserving it because unexpected quests can impose lethal penalties.

Background / History

Death Energy first manifests as a faint black radiance released from dead creatures. Chen Lin discovers that it appears even when he merely observes beasts killing one another; surviving beasts cannot perceive it, but it invariably enters Chen Lin when he approaches. He initially identifies it only by its resemblance to the oppressive aura of death he sensed on battlefields in his previous life 2 3.

The resource becomes central to Chen Lin’s survival after the Main God Inheritance Coffin awakens when a large amount of black gas rises from corpses inside a giant python. The Guide later identifies it as the foundation for the coffin’s operation and its various functions 6 7.

Functions

Main God Coffin fuel

Death Energy sustains the Main God Coffin at a fixed cost of 1 point per day. A negative balance triggers the coffin’s deletion command against its host 7.

  • The resource is required to prevent Chen Lin’s erasure.
  • Main- and side-quest failures may impose major point deductions.
  • Penalties include 1,000 points for failing to reach the Innate Realm, 30,000 points for failing the Buddha Relic quest, and 20,000 points for failing to obtain Yang Qianqian’s bloodline talent 8 26 29.

Exchange currency

The Item Exchange System permits Chen Lin to exchange Death Energy for bloodlines, cultivation resources, techniques, and items from other worlds 8.

  • Technique modification — 200 points modify the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art into the Dragon-Elephant Nirvana Art 11.
  • Technique exchange and modification — Chen Lin purchases the Formless Tribulation Finger for 200 points and spends 130 more to create the Shattering Nirvana Finger 12.
  • Technique deduction — 1,000 points reveal the risks of the Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation 20.
  • Bloodline acquisition — Chen Lin redeems the Bruce Banner bloodline for 100 points and spends another 100 to undergo controlled Gamma Bomb modification 44.
  • Emergency conversion — The system can convert points into spirit stones, though Chen Lin considers this an undesirable use of the resource 30.

Mission objective and reward condition

The Main God Coffin directly uses Death Energy collection to measure mission progress.

  • The Novice Trial Mission requires Chen Lin to absorb 100 points from Postnatal Realm beasts 7.
  • Death Energy accumulation is tied to the strength of the slain creature; early Postnatal beasts yield 1–2 points, mid-stage beasts 3–5, late-stage beasts 5–10, and stronger creatures 15 or more 8.
  • The deaths of powerful beasts, ghosts, and Yin Corpses provide substantially larger returns 16 36 38.

Sources

Source Yield / Notes
Ordinary living beasts Death Energy appears as black light or gas following death; stronger beasts provide more points 3 8.
Blood Pool Cleansing casualties Beasts killed during the ceremony yield at least 30 points each; Xiantian beasts yield up to 200 16.
Ghosts Ghosts contain considerably more Death Energy than living creatures of comparable realm 35 36.
Sea-Opening Realm Yin Corpses A Sea-Opening Yin Corpse provides approximately 20,000 points 38.

Limitations

  • Death Energy is generated only through death, making Chen Lin’s continued killing and exposure to dangerous areas essential to maintaining his reserve 7 9.
  • Its value is constrained by the coffin’s high exchange prices; powerful bloodlines can require hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of millions of points 8 44.
  • Even a large reserve can be endangered by sudden quest penalties, causing Chen Lin to avoid unnecessary spending 26 49.

Trivia

  • Chen Lin alone appears able to perceive the black radiance released by death before the Main God Coffin formally identifies it 3.
  • The detailed passages alternate between the terms Death Energy and Death Qi for the same resource 16.
  • Ghosts are especially efficient sources because their bodies are described as saturated with Death Energy 36.
