Risk

"This method is both simple and not simple."

"The key lies in the Mind Pillar originating from ancient civilization ruins, its characteristics being 'mental aggregation' and 'thought implantation'."

"Although we've always used it as an auxiliary tool for the Mind Seal, we can actually utilize its properties to enhance human mental strength."

Lin Guotao pondered, "The most common method is to simply carry it with you and meditate on it constantly. This way, you can use its 'mental aggregation' characteristic to temper your spirit. With persistence, your mental strength will naturally increase."

"Mind Pillar?"

Li Yi hadn't expected that after going in circles, they would end up involving this thing.

He had experienced the power of the Mind Pillar and knew how formidable it was.

If he were to carry it with him, it might be fine for a short period, but wouldn't it easily affect him if he carried it for too long?

"Sir, wouldn't this method carry significant risks?"

"That's right, so it's only suitable for those with sufficiently strong mental will. Anyone with weaker willpower will inevitably be interfered with, or even have their will distorted, by the Mind Pillar."

"This is also one of the reasons I chose you."

"In my many years on the Jade Pool No. 7, this is the first time I've seen someone able to resist the Mind Seal at will, forcing the Mind Pillar to take three hours to complete the imprint."

Lin Guotao's words held no hint of reservation in his admiration.

"As for the other reason, it's naturally your potential for a second breakthrough. And from what I see now, my choice was not mistaken."

"You flatter me, sir."

"No, it's not flattery; these are my sincere thoughts."

Lin Guotao smiled, "For the Deus Mech Project, we haven't had a suitable candidate on the Jade Pool No. 7 for over a decade. I had already despaired, thinking that no more promising talents would appear on the Jade Pool No. 7's route."

Li Yi had only learned in the past couple of days that each starship had a fixed patrol route, and the number of human planets visited along the way was limited.

For instance, the Jade Pool No. 7's patrol route included Mars, Jupiter Moon, Saitan Star, Nightwatch Star, and Qilin Star, among others.

Among these, the reserve mech pilot candidates supplemented by the Jade Pool No. 7 in recent years were primarily from the first three.

Nightwatch Star and Qilin Star were the main routes for the latter half of the journey.

At this point, Lin Guotao operated his personal communicator and then said, "This is a meditation method deduced by researchers based on the mysterious effects of the Mind Pillar. You can refer to it."

Ding~

Li Yi found an email had arrived on his personal communicator and immediately opened it.

Inside was a very detailed meditation method, along with descriptions of various illusions that might appear during the meditation, methods of resistance, and stage descriptions, all very thorough.

With this information, the credibility of Lin Guotao's statement increased significantly.

"Of course, this method isn't foolproof. Among the more than thirty people currently participating in this plan, over ten have not yet accumulated enough mental strength and are stuck in the accumulation phase, unable to advance to Celestial Rank. Some have also died prematurely before they could even realize the benefits of this accumulation."

"In short, risks and opportunities coexist."

"You can carefully review this document and decide whether you have the capacity to complete it before making your decision."

Li Yi nodded. Lin Guotao's words were quite earnest, which gave him a good impression of him.

"Next is your second question."

"What are the types, proportions, and planning of Divinity Radiation sequences."

"Regarding this, there is also a research document that we deciphered from a data set called the Divinity Chart. I will send it to you later for reference."

"There's a lot of content, so I'll briefly explain the conclusion."

"That is, if all sequences can be fully maximized, it is the best outcome."

"However, due to limited human resources, it is recommended to maximize the Divinity Gene share for three to five Divinity sequences. This is the most economical approach, as it doesn't waste too much time and still provides dominance at the same level."

"For example, Zhang Shengfeng has maximized his Divinity Genes for the Fire God, Thunder God, and Wind God sequences. His defense-breaking capability is exceptionally strong, allowing him to fight five opponents at Celestial Rank. He can remain in the top ten of the Federation even when he first enters the Celestial Rank and above."

"As for you, my suggestion is to combine the Celestial God, Fire God, and Thunder God sequences; this is likely to develop an ultra-long-range defense-breaking technique."

"Or, the Celestial God, Gaia God, and Gravity God sequences can also suppress opponents with overwhelming force."

"Alternatively, you could use the Celestial God sequence for all three, such as combining the power of the Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune A-class mechs, which is also a viable option."

"In any case, this is the general direction. As long as you can conceive of suitable Divinity Techniques, any combination can be considered and you don't have to be limited to these."

"The key is, if your primary sequence is at the Pluto Divinity level, your secondary sequences should not be too much weaker than the primary one."

Li Yi nodded, roughly understanding the logic of the combinations.

The key was that each Divinity Gene needed to be maximized to allow individual evolution and combat power to reach its peak.

"Then, if a person's soul is strong enough, can they use four, five, or even more Divinity Radiations?"

"Yes, but it takes too much time and the uncertainty is too high. I don't recommend it."

"Understood."

Seeing Li Yi's eager expression, Lin Guotao immediately chuckled.

"Don't be rash! Before making a decision, it's best to first think clearly about what you want for your future, and then resolutely commit to it."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll do what I can within my capabilities."

Li Yi nodded on the surface, but in his heart, he had already decided to aim for as much as possible.

His soul strength could be improved through more than one method.

Absorbing memory fragments was even more effective.

Now that he understood the pros and cons, he naturally leaned more towards composite divinity.

"Very good. I've sent you all the relevant information. Remember, this is a classified plan. Don't let anyone unauthorized know you're participating in it."

"Otherwise, it's easy to attract lurking cultists who will try to eliminate you beforehand."

"Then I'll help you secretly apply for a Mind Pillar. You'll have to wait a few days."

"Also, everyone's situation is different. When you refer to the materials, you need to combine them with your own actual circumstances to draw conclusions."

Lin Guotao was patient and meticulous, explaining every precaution in detail.

Cafeteria.

Li Yi managed to catch the last wave of high-energy Xeno-Beast Meat.

After collecting his portion, he also paid out of his own pocket to buy the last three portions.

With the rapid improvement of his mech skills and physique over the past two days, Li Yi felt a pure joy he hadn't experienced in a long time.

He planned to train even harder during this period, seizing this golden window of opportunity for a breakthrough in strength.

"Li Yi, where did you just go?"

Li Yi turned around and saw Cai Xiaodong, who had just finished eating and was holding his clean plate with the remaining oil stains.

"Just had something to do."

"Alright. Let me give you a heads-up. Zhang Xuqiang just came to find me. He even brought Qian Shengyue, who is ranked 49th, to threaten me. You should be careful these next few days and guard against any tricks they might pull."

"Threaten you?"

Li Yi rubbed his chin and asked:

"Speaking of which, among our class, how many people ranked in the top 40 have a connection or close ties with Zhang Xuqiang?"

Cai Xiaodong didn't understand his intention and thought for a moment before replying:

"There are a total of 7 people, all things considered."

"What sequences do these people primarily belong to? And which ones possess Divine Mechs of D-rank or higher?"

"Holy crap, what are you asking this for now?"

Cai Xiaodong realized something was amiss.

"Me? I'm planning to challenge them one by one, starting from the bottom and working my way up, betting on Divinity Radiation time. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Li Yi wore a harmless and kind smile.
