Chapter 230

Dozens of thick plasma streams erupted from its outer shell, each powerful enough to vaporize the planet.

If this step was just like that of a normal star, then in the next moment, the plasma streams began to twist and converge, forming huge tentacles made of energy that swept towards Wen Jing like a tidal wave!

Wen Jing showed no intention of avoiding the situation.

A faint light, imperceptible to the naked eye, emanated from her body; it was a manifestation of the powerful nuclear force being compressed to its limit.

At this moment, the distance between the nuclei of every atom on her body surface is forcibly locked, forming the theoretically most indestructible form of matter.

"Boom!"

The plasma tentacles crashed down!

The billions of degrees Celsius, enough to melt stars, were forcibly deflected and diverted upon contact with that faint light.

The energy, like water crashing against rocks, exploded into a shower of light around Wen Jing, yet it couldn't harm her in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jing's basic force changed again.

The weak nuclear force is activated, and the originally stable plasma state instantly enters a super-fast decay cycle.

The energy at a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees began to dissipate uncontrollably, Extreme Speed cooled, transformed into ordinary gaseous dust, and ultimately returned to nothingness.

The plasma inside the Stellar Beast vibrated, like a creature letting out a deafening roar.

But Wen Jing was no longer there.

Her figure transformed into thousands of lightning bolts, Extreme Speed traversing the various key energy nodes of the Stellar Beast.

After the energy node was hit, the smooth energy cycle of the Stellar Beast was cut off, the core fusion reaction began to become unstable, and the plasma body became disordered.

The speed was so fast that the life or death of the Stellar Beast was at stake.

Then, the 'sun' began to shrink.

A plasma sphere with a diameter of 100 kilometers was compressed to less than 10 kilometers in just a few seconds.

This results in an exponential surge in density and temperature... a gravity well is formed!

The powerful gravity pulled the dark alien insect downwards.

You want to devour me?

Wen Jing laughed, "Isn't this just a coincidence?"

The next moment, a black hole appeared above the star.

The heat source in the sky, which always spread endless scorching pollution, visibly shrank until it disappeared completely.

The Scorching Thirst World welcomed its first overcast day.

[Gained the trait ' Extreme Heat ']

The Extreme Cold cools down, while the Extreme Heat naturally heats up.

This characteristic allows Wen Jing to heat a target to the Threshold of fusion, reaching the level of 'igniting a star,' and also to heat an enemy's energy attack beyond its control.

Furthermore, she can now switch between hot and cold without consuming any extra energy, meaning she is immune to all temperature-related damage!

"However, we've already come this far..."

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jing had an idea and spent 30,000 Skill Points to upgrade and fuse these two traits, which were top-tier in A-level.

The last time she did this, she combined Isolation Layer with Mimicry, evolving into Basic Invisibility.

[The direction of evolution has been determined...]

[Consumption points...]

[Skill Points: 984112 → 954112]

[Evolution complete]

[Acquired Property: Entropy Change]

Chapter 230

[Entropy Change] is the third rule-level characteristic that Wen Jing has acquired, in addition to [Information Touch] and [Gestalt Consciousness].

The four basic force characteristics can also reach S-level, but they are enhanced by Information Touch. The current [Entropy Change] itself is at this level, and there is no additional consumption when using it.

Once it reaches the rule level, this characteristic transcends the control of temperature and goes a step further, reaching the ability to touch and manipulate 'entropy,' the fundamental rule of the universe.

The Wen Jing can accelerate the entropy increase of a system, such as an enemy's body, weapons, or energy, causing it to rapidly decay and collapse.

Conversely, she can also impose entropy reduction on a system, leading to a reorganization of order that violates the second law of thermodynamics. Specifically, this can manifest as a damaged structure undergoing 'reverse time' repair.

There are also various other extended uses.

For example, creating a lasting brand would cause the enemy to consume far more energy than normal in any action, including thinking.

For example, creating an 'entropy quiescence region' where all energy is evenly distributed would render all energy attacks ineffective, as entering this region would instantly dissipate into useless heat energy.

Of course, the most groundbreaking thing is --

The next moment, Wen Jing extended its forelimb and gently tapped it.

The previously empty void ahead began to distort, and a glimmer of light appeared out of nowhere.

This is a single photon formed by forcibly extracting energy from the quantum fluctuations of the surrounding space.

Although it was just a single photon, and the consumption was disproportionate to the result, she still managed to create something from nothing within the framework of the three-dimensional world.

From nothingness, existence was created.

In the Federation, the three major academies serve as the activity centers for the Awakened on each habitable planet.

On the Empire's habitable planets, the training of Awakened is scattered across various training camps, while the places for containment of out-of-control activities and team exploration of Ancient Wilderness are the ' Awakened Guild '.

The guild of the capital star is located on the outermost edge of the Imperial Government's public district. It is an important department within the district and occupies an entire city block.

The building itself is a huge arched dome structure, with an outer layer of dark metal and stone spliced together, and inlaid with a large number of tiny light-sensing devices that gleam faintly in the sunlight.

Coincidentally, the temples and other buildings associated with the empire and the Alaya Race are all white and gold, while the various government departments are mostly dark-colored.

Wen Jing returned to the material universe from the Ancient Wilderness and landed in the square, where his teammates also arrived.

"Weiluo, thank you so much this time!"

"Yes, if it weren't for your gravitational pull, we would have been in danger this time."

The other four teammates who had just teamed up with her to explore a world looked lingering fear on their faces and expressed their gratitude to her.

"It was nothing, we're all teammates," Wen Jing said dismissively.

"Hahaha... It's nothing for you, but it's a lifesaver for us!" The team leader immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Next time I discover something valuable, I'll definitely let you know first, and you'll get the lion's share of all the spoils!"

"Yes, yes, we have no objections," the other teammates immediately echoed.

Wen Jing didn't agree immediately, but simply smiled and said, "We'll see."

Undeterred by the lack of a definite answer, the four exchanged a few more pleasantries with her before leaving.

They were all fully Awakened had joined the Virid Family. In fact, although the four of them were polite to Wen Jing on the surface, they were not convinced in secret. They only regarded teaming up with her as a task that had to be completed.

After all, the 'Star Wilderness Body ' is highly valued by the Alaya Race, and the Matter Transformation Faction only hopes that Wen Jing can safely and fully awaken.

If it weren't for the scarcity of resources required to increase the compatibility of A-level Awakened, and the unavoidable need for Ancient Wilderness Traversal, Panxi would have loved to simply push her compatibility to 100%.

Therefore, the teammates Wen Jing team up with for the next exploration were all carefully arranged by the Virid Family. The depth of the world they chose was precisely at the point where she could demonstrate her strength, and her teammates were all high-level fully Awakened.

Unexpectedly, in the actual exploration, she not only did not hold back, but was also Calmness and reliable, and played a key role in the unexpected crisis this time.

Strength is always the primary qualification, no matter where you are.

This time, even the team members who initially disliked her were completely convinced and all asked to join her team.

However, Wen Jing clearly did not want to.

This kind of team exploration, in which she had to suppress her strength throughout, was a world that was an 'appetizer' for her, but a thrilling and exciting adventure in the eyes of her teammates.

However, the atmosphere in the Empire is different from that in the Federation. With the existence of second-generation Awakened, more people choose to team up when exploring the Ancient Wilderness.

Wen Jing needs to maintain her persona while also showcasing a reasonable 'growth process,' so she can't always go it alone and can only occasionally join a team.

She put all her effort into cultivating an arrogant persona, yet she still inexplicably became a 'heartthrob'.

Because it wasn't just the Virid Family that wanted to control her growth, the other five factions also actively sent their own Awakened to team up with her, hoping to indirectly obtain information about her Wilderness Body.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Wen Jing walked out of the plaza and entered the guild's front hall.

A flood of noisy information rushed into her consciousness.

The Awakened active in the hall—their Wilderness Body, abilities, interpersonal relationships, the depths of the Ancient Wilderness they had traversed before... all sorts of information intertwined, like countless rivers flowing into the same ocean.

At the center is a huge circular service desk, where more than a dozen guild staff are handling various matters. Behind it, a whole wall of holographic screens scrolls through various information in real time: team invitations, buying and selling rare items, issuing quests, and so on.

Wen Jing would also gather information here and fabricate some rare materials that could reasonably 'improve' her compatibility.

Along the way, people would nod and greet her from time to time.

She recently earned another Trial Medal, making her a celebrity throughout the entire Awakened Empire community.

Suddenly, Wen Jing, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.

Her gaze fell on a corner.

There stood four Awakened. The one with the strongest aura was a man, whose badge on his chest indicated that he was a member of the Heinrich Family. He was smiling and communicating with the other three next to him through Mental Link.

This kind of 'group chat' is inaccessible to other Awakened, but it plays like subtitles in Wen Jing's Information Perception.

The man said, "You've already seen those rare treasures; they're extremely rare and have miraculous effects on enhancing mental abilities."

"But you were the only one who returned successfully from the last expedition." The person next to him hesitated slightly.

The man looked helpless. "We were careless last time and encountered danger in the core area, but we also discovered the most dangerous areas then. Now that we've eliminated those areas, it means we have a relatively safe path..."
