Yaoyao shook her head. "No, it won't work. Ordinary items are fine, but things like life and cosmic treasures are unique. Once you get one, you won't get another."
Leo pondered Yaoyao's words repeatedly, trying to deeply understand the rules of the Shadow World. Although he didn't fully understand them yet, Yaoyao's ability was simply too abnormal.
Today he can bind to a cosmic-level Metal Module, and he can bind to Hundred-Page World; tomorrow he will be able to bind to even more things.
As long as he knows the exact location of these treasures, he can use his shadow to lasso them precisely.
What he's holding isn't just a cosmic treasure; it's the key to collecting all the treasures!
Even the Supreme Lord could take away the Tower of Elements Supreme Lord's hands to it?
Leo also really likes the Sword of Winter can slice through planets. He witnessed that sword being used when he was still in the Homo Sapiens World. Should he also tie a shadow to it?
Isn't it just about using shadows as ropes?
There aren't many other things now, just lots of shadows—1941 shadows...
It's 1942. The shadow that just bound the black cube module has returned, bringing Leo's shadow count to 1942.
With so many shadows, producing dozens of them would be no problem at all.
With these cosmic treasures at his disposal, who in this world could possibly be his match?
No wonder Little Bookworm 007 said that Leo's strongest ability was Yaoyao; it really is too powerful.
Compared to Yaoyao, Leo's other abilities are completely incomparable!
It could even be said that Leo had never seen anyone stronger than Yaoyao!
"The idea is wonderful, but with your current strength, you can only throw out the rope twice more to bind two more treasures?" Yaoyao shattered Leo's dream.
"Why?"
Yaoyao pointed to the statue modeled after him and Leo, "Look, in the Shadow World, the shadows left by those treasures are bound together using our soul power as anchors. At level two, you can only bind to one cosmic-level Metal Module, and at level three, you bind to Hundred-Page World."
"Now that we're advancing to level four, we can get one more chance, but the Metal Module has already been brought over, so we only get two more chances."
"Once these number of times are exceeded, our souls will become unstable, and there is a high probability that the power of these treasures will pull us back to other time periods in the Shadow World."
"Furthermore, we can't determine the weight of the treasures we're binding. If they're all like the Hundred-Page World, we can only watch helplessly."
"Look at these solidified shadows; their state is what we'll look like after we lose control."
Leo looked at the statues of himself and Yaoyao. These were the anchor points for his soul in the Shadow World, and also the anchor points for binding those treasures. The most crucial point was not how many shadows he had, but his strength.
Leo felt that the black cube module in his hand was no longer appealing. It turned out that it could only be bound once at level one, and could not be bound randomly. His idea of collecting treasures from the entire universe was shattered.
"However, there is another way to use it."
"In what way?"
Yaoyao pointed to the solidified shadows, "These shadows are all beings that have existed in the past. Their strength varies. You can use the shadows as fishing hooks to cast them out and fish them out. They will then become your helpers and slaves."
"You can do that?"
Leo looked around and saw bizarre and fantastical shadows everywhere. He hadn't paid much attention to this place before, but now he realized it was a treasure trove waiting to be discovered!
If he manages to lure out someone with the Supreme Lord, who would he be afraid of?
However, the probability is extremely low. Even if this place contains all the shadows from the beginning of the real world, the probability of fishing out an ordinary life form is the highest. If you want to fish out someone with even a little bit of strength, you might not be able to do it even if you exhaust all your shadows.
"I've told you everything. There's nothing I've hidden from you anymore. With your current strength, you can travel within a small area of Shadow World on your own, and even go to nearby worlds without any problem," Yaoyao continued.
Leo knew what Yaoyao was talking about; it was the function of the Godslaying Set, which allowed for short-distance jumps using the Shadow World.
Leo was only at level three before, and a close-range jump almost killed him.
A short jump in the Shadow World is a hundred times more terrifying than a long jump in the real world!
Since then, he has never used this ability again, not because the ability was weak, but because he could not bear the consequences.
Now that they've advanced to the Stigmata Wizard level, their resilience is greater, and theoretically, the side effects should be fewer when jumping through the Shadow World.
However, Leo thought it best not to try it yet. He should first figure out the Dark Cube module and the changes in the Shadow Space.
Before he could even properly observe the Shadow Space, Yaoyao brought him into the Shadow World. He was still unaware of the specific changes that had occurred after the Shadow Space evolved.
"Go back first. There's been a lot of information these past few days; I need to process it all."
Leo's brain can now process information faster than a computer, but it's still not quite enough to keep up with the constant stream of exciting connections.
A cosmic treasure, Yaoyao's abilities, the ability to generate Shadow Space with the Power of Laws, the rules of the Shadow World, and the ability to fish out other creatures from the Shadow World...
For any Stigmata Wizard, even just one such thing would be an event of ecstatic joy.
As a result, Leo now has all of them. He's happy and excited, so excited that he doesn't know where to begin his research.
Too many things happened, and they happened too suddenly, leaving Leo's mind in a complete mess.
Ultimately, Leo decided to return to the demiplane first and study the changes in the Shadow Space.
The black cube module is, after all, a cosmic-level treasure. He needs some time to study and develop it carefully, and ideally, to maximize its capabilities.
He had never come into contact with cosmic treasures before, so he needed to do a lot of preparation work to figure out how to begin.
Such a treasure cannot be taken and used immediately; that would be irresponsible towards one's own life!
A shadow appeared in front of Leo as he pointed his foot.
Leo reached out and placed the black cube module into the shadow's body. The shadow, which could only hold nuclear fission and the Planetary Core, perfectly placed the black cube module into its belly without any sense of rejection.
Led by Yaoyao, Leo returned to the Stigmata Wizard demiplane and, after sensing the passage of time, discovered that ten days had already passed.
Leo felt like he had only been in the Shadow World for an hour, but ten days had passed in the real world!
"That's normal. I went to get you a gift a year ago. Time is like that there; it's hard to say when it will go fast or slow," Yaoyao explained.
Leo didn't think much of it. He didn't understand the rules of the Shadow World at all; he only knew a little information from Yaoyao.
Ignoring everything else, he directly tore open the Shadow Space.
Looking at his Shadow Space again, if it weren't for the clear connection between it and himself, no one would be able to associate the Shadow Space with a storage space. It was clearly a demiplane!
Leo stretched out his foot and stepped into the Shadow Space. This was the first time Leo had entered. Before, it was a static space that could not contain living life. Now, the rules had changed, and there was air, which allowed living life to survive here.
The Gravity was still very weak, giving Leo a feeling of lightness as a feather.
With an area of 2,500 square kilometers, an altitude of 15,000 meters, and a soil thickness of ten meters, it has abundant air. If it weren't for the lack of sunlight and the absence of starlight, it could easily support a large population.
The Shadow Space is not a demiplane in the true sense; it is an interlayered space between the real world and the Shadow World.
It can be said that the Shadow Space opened up a completely new demiplane within the Chaotic Space!
The changes in the Shadow Space and the shadows all stemmed from Leo's Shadow Talent ability to manipulate shadows. Walking in the Shadow Space, Leo felt no sense of unfamiliarity; on the contrary, he felt incredibly at ease, as if it were his own arm.
"It seems I can change the rules here at will."
"For example, like this,"
Leo pointed to the ground, and a piece of ice crystal immediately appeared.
This wasn't created by Leo using witchcraft, nor was it created by condensing energy from the space; there wasn't even any energy fluctuation in the air.
It simply changed the rules of this area, causing the temperature to drop by 100 degrees Celsius.
The finger pointed at the ice crystal again, and with a 'bang,' the ice crystal shattered into countless pieces, turning into ice shards scattered all over the ground.
This wasn't caused by Leo's attack, but rather by altering the Gravity rules of this area, causing the Gravity to suddenly increase thirtyfold, directly crushing the ice crystals.
"Then aren't you a god here?" Yaoyao exclaimed, watching Leo manipulate clouds and rain with a flick of his hand in the Shadow Space.
This completely alters the rules of the entire plane; how could Stigmata Level wizard possibly wield such power?
Stigmata Wizard only study their own specific rules; they are nothing like Leo, who can directly and arbitrarily adjust the seven rules in a plane!
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a god, after all, the creators of various worlds are only at this level."
Leo raised his palm and grabbed into the space. Instantly, a strong wind arose, and all the energy in the space converged into Leo 'Leo palm, instantly forming an energy ball in his hand.
This is how the Energy Absorption Domain is used after being regularized in the Shadow Space. It can concentrate all the energy in one place, which means that Leo can instantly create an energy-free zone.
Within this Shadow Space, he could indeed be described as omnipotent, a being even more powerful than a god. If a god could be born here, it would be with Leo's permission!
