"Of course, the level of cosmic Fallout we encountered this time was very low, which is why I didn't warn you. This level of Fallout is nothing to you."
"If you encounter extremely strong Fallout, you won't even have a chance to use Restoration Technique. It will destroy all the cells in your body in an instant, the kind of damage that even Restoration Technique can't restore."
The system remained calm. It had actually detected this small cosmic Fallout storm long ago, but since the storm posed no threat to Li Xingkong, it did not issue a warning.
Li Xingkong was somewhat shaken. Fortunately, the storm wasn't very strong. If the storm had been too intense, even with the system's warning, where could he have found shelter?
The cosmic Fallout storm has an extremely wide range. Even if Li Xingkong were to increase his speed tenfold, let alone his current speed, it would still be difficult for him to escape the range of the Fallout storm.
"Duh, so many countries on Earth Star launch satellites, and Divine Land even has a space station in space. How do they Fallout?"
Seeing that Li Xingkong was only thinking about how to escape or what kind of Fallout- defense spells he had, the system was amused by Li Xingkong.
"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about that?"
Li Xingkong slapped his forehead.
Astronauts are stationed on Divine Land's space station year-round. If they couldn't protect themselves from Fallout, how could they stay in space for so long? They must have some methods to deal with it.
I didn't specifically ask, since there should be plenty of information about this online. Although I'm currently in Earth Star's orbit, satellites are also in orbit at the same level, so they can connect to the internet.
Li Xingkong quickly found the key information: the astronauts' Fallout mainly relies on the outer layer materials of the space station. These materials have undergone multiple treatments and are made of high-precision materials that can isolate Fallout, which is why they can protect astronauts living on the space station for a long time.
After reviewing the relevant materials, Li Xingkong had found a way to protect himself from Fallout.
There's no other way; the method is right at his feet.
The pile of space debris under our feet, although it's called debris, is still something that came from space. Most of it consists of aerospace materials, and these materials already have sufficient Fallout resistance.
So all he had to do was create an opening in the sphere of trash beneath his feet when he encountered cosmic Fallout, and jump inside to hide.
After a frantic and chaotic day, I realized that the solution to the problem had always been right beside me; it was like searching high and low without finding it.
This method is indeed simpler and more effective; it's much faster than learning a new spell on the spot.
Although Li Xingkong learns magic very quickly, it still takes time. By the time he finishes learning the magic, the cosmic Fallout may have already passed.
As far as emergency preparedness is concerned, this is currently the most effective method.
Having found a solution, Li Xingkong simply made a hole the size of a person in the ball under his feet, just big enough for him to hide in.
Although this cosmic Fallout storm did not have a significant impact on him, he is currently not in a position to absorb Fallout and induce benign mutations.
The most crucial point is that he cannot determine whether the mutations caused by this Fallout are benign.
Perhaps when his cultivation level increases, he will be able to tell at a glance whether the mutation is benign or not, but he obviously can't now. If he doesn't know whether it's benign or not, then it's best to keep his body as it is.
Blindly testing without any theoretical basis is a form of gambling, and in the context of Fallout, the odds of winning are no less than buying a lottery ticket.
Li Xingkong has never liked gambling, especially gambling with his own body; it's not worth it.
He has no way of knowing whether the cosmic Fallout has passed, so the best course of action is to hide in the shelter he created and wait quietly.
You can leave a small part of your body exposed to the sun, but only an arm or a hand, or something similar.
In this way, he can determine whether the Fallout has passed by observing whether the affected area is still undergoing changes.
This will also deepen his understanding of Restoration Technique and his own body.
After all, it's a crisis, but this opportunity is also quite rare; you don't always encounter such a perfect situation.
As Li Xingkong's cultivation level increased, his understanding of himself also deepened.
Before he began his cultivation, he had achieved 100% control over his physical functions, but that was only within the limits of his existing abilities.
He can't conjure up two extra hands out of thin air, or perform a heart transplant, stomach replacement, or limb regeneration. The human body doesn't have this function, and no matter how deeply he controls it, he can't do it.
Looking back now, my understanding of the human body at that time was like controlling a game character.
Ordinary people might only use WASD to control their character's movement, or to control their character's eating and sleeping.
At that time, Li Xingkong's control ability was equivalent to having a character model placed in front of him; he could control the character's movements and actions at will, which was much stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Ultimately, however, it's impossible to fundamentally change the character's image or expand its functions.
After obtaining his first Spiritual Qi and entering the Qi Refining, he was able to develop the most rudimentary methods for modifying his body.
Now, we are exposed to Fallout, which is a way of affecting the body on a deeper level. This has led to a deeper understanding of the body and a leap forward in our control over it.
This feeling gave Li Xingkong an unparalleled sense of security.
That's right, it's about being grounded. He clearly understands the evolution of his abilities and how his control over his body is deepening step by step. All of this has reliable theories and clear, practical examples that can be replicated and learned.
This sense of continuity in knowledge made him feel very grounded. His strength was not a castle in the air, nor was it something acquired in the fog. Every bit of his strength was backed by hard work and theoretical knowledge.
The source of power gained through systems that directly grant cultivation boosts, or through killing monsters that grants several levels, is unclear. How can one feel at ease using such power?
Before he began cultivating, Li Xingkong greatly envied the protagonists in these novels, who could become stronger simply by following the missions step by step without needing to put in any other effort.
Looking at it now, if such a system existed, he would avoid it like the plague. Who knows what it's used for? Maybe it's used to accelerate the growth of pigs for meat.
Once the host grows up and reaches a certain level, he might be directly taken out and sold into captivity.
After staying in this small space for quite a while, Li Xingkong finally felt that the strange changes in his body had stopped.
He then emerged from the garbage heap and sensed the situation for a while longer. Confirming that no further changes had occurred, Li Xingkong was now certain that the Fallout had subsided.
He originally wanted to stay in space for a few more days, but he encountered such a crisis not long after. This made Li Xingkong realize that he was still just a toddler in the universe. He could come out and explore, but he couldn't stay any longer.
Fortunately, I have achieved my goal for this trip, and even gained some unexpected benefits. Returning home now, I can say that my mission has been accomplished.
