The space contains abundant light energy; from a magician's perspective, it is filled with an extremely high concentration of light elements.
Han Xiao landed with Ames on a shallow riverbank. The soil was multicolored, shiny sand, and it felt no different from a beach.
Ames crouched down, picked up a grain of light sand, and curiously observed the irregular solid. She then crushed it with a slight pressure of her fingers. The grain of light sand cracked open, turning into a thin mist of light dust that slowly rose into the air.
Looking up, a vast sea of clouds obscures the sky, composed entirely of gaseous light dust, like a dream. Every now and then, light dust rises from various places and merges into the sea of clouds. When it accumulates to a certain extent, this sea of clouds will experience rainfall, causing the light dust to fall to the earth and form new landforms, and so on in a continuous cycle.
"So beautiful," Ames exclaimed in admiration.
Han Xiao arrived at the riverbank, scooped up a handful of liquid light, and watched the golden liquid flow through his fingers. He couldn't help but mutter, "The light pollution here is terrible."
"... Do you really have to ruin the mood?" Ames helplessly.
"Just to be honest."
Han Xiao curled his lip, summoned several industrial data acquisition devices, and casually said:
"The phenomena here are very peculiar and have great research value. It's a good opportunity to collect some materials to take back and conduct experiments."
As he spoke, he anchored the coordinates of this Secondary Dimension and recorded them in the database for future visits. After thinking for a moment, he named this Secondary Dimension the Land of Light.
Having accomplished all this, Han Xiao then set up some spatial stabilizing anchors with fixed spacetime coefficients to prevent the Holy Light Particle from escaping. He then patted the Mysterious Energy Envoy and said, "Little Chaos, force the Holy Light Particle out."
The Chaos Mysterious Energy had been impatient for a long time. Upon receiving the command, it released streams of red energy without hesitation, which entered the earth and formed a huge spider web that quickly spread out.
When Han Xiao counted to two hundred and twenty-one, the Chaos Mysterious Energy finally reacted, saying with ill intent:
"I found it! It was indeed asleep. Watch me wake it up!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Han Xiao and Ames felt the ground beneath their feet suddenly tremble.
The next moment, the entire space began to shake, and the earth trembled violently.
Rumble--
Before the two could even observe, a massive fountain of light suddenly erupted from the distant earth, shooting straight into the sky and transforming into a holy, white-gold ball of light. At its core was a sphere as dazzling as a star, as if a sun had appeared in mid-air.
Within this platinum-white light cluster, there were visible Chaos Mysterious Energy, red energy, reacting violently like hot oil meeting cold water.
As the ball of light appeared, a wave of frantic and agitated mental energy instantly swept outwards.
"Mosaniel! You attacked me while I was sleeping again! I'm going to kill you today!"
"Nalusis, did you enjoy my energy? Do you miss it?" Chaos Mysterious Energy chuckled, his tone carrying a lingering sense of satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao's lips twitched.
I feel like this statement contains a lot of information, and it sounds like this isn't the first time they've done this...
Wow, the superpower world is really chaotic.
Chaos Mysterious Energy turned to Han Xiao and smiled, "This is the Holy Light Particle you mentioned. It's a bit grumpy when it wakes up; you're in charge from now on."
The Primordial Esper Ability Entity are very ancient and each has its own name. "Chaos Mysterious Energy and the Book" and "Holy Light Particle" are just the names given to them by the outside world.
The Holy Light Particle moved rapidly over and finally spotted the group. Seeing the appearance of the Mysterious Energy Envoy, their anger turned to joy, and they gloated:
"Huh? You've been turned into a puppet again? Hahaha, karma's your just desserts, serves you right!"
"Don't get cocky, you'll be next." Chaos Mysterious Energy sneered, "Little brat, you're next."
The Holy Light Particle turned to look at Han Xiao and Ames, and said with displeasure, "Hmph, you're still as despicable as ever, actually helping the enemy to take my body and trying to drag me down with you... You two little brats from the main universe, no matter how it bewitched you, I have no interest in playing with you now. Go back to the main universe and don't bother me."
Han Xiao didn't seem to care. He flipped his hand and took out a canister-like containment device, tilting his head slightly. "Are you coming in by yourself, or should I help you?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Light Particle shone brightly, unleashing a torrent of energy waves. It seemed to unleash its full power, causing the entire space to tremble slightly. Its tone was incredibly confident and arrogant.
"I'm not some weakling like Mosaniel. If you want to capture me, are you prepared?"
Thirty seconds later.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I give up!"
The once arrogant Holy Light Particle have shrunk countless times and are now contained in a container, resembling a pool of golden liquid, crackling under the electromagnetic confinement field of the containment device.
Han Xiao shook the containment device, causing the Holy Light Particle to stagger a few times.
"That's it?" Ames was speechless.
She thought the Holy Light Particle Holy Light Particle were incredibly powerful and had prepared for battle, but Han Xiao slapped them so hard they were rendered useless. That's just too weak.
Han Xiao wasn't surprised at all. Primordial Esper Ability Entity n't cause any trouble in front of Peak Beyond Grade A. He was just wondering where the Holy Light Particle got their confidence.
Seeing his old buddy in trouble, Chaos Mysterious Energy was now gloating. He moved closer to the containment device and chuckled, "Welcome to keep me company, then I won't be lonely."
"Mosaniel! I'll kill you sooner or later!" Holy Light Particle cried out in grief and rage.
Not only did she suffer misfortune herself, but she also dragged him down with her; she's a prime example of someone who made a terrible choice of friends.
At this moment, Han Xiao tapped the glass of the containment device with his finger and interjected, "You'll have plenty of time to talk later. First, answer my question: what are your abilities?"
The Holy Light Particle roared furiously, "Let me tell you, I'm not as easily subdued as Mosaniel. Even if you torture me, I will..."
Thirty seconds later.
The Holy Light Particle, rendered limp by the Chaos Mysterious Energy, lay obediently at the bottom of the containment device, trembling as they introduced their abilities:
"My most basic abilities are enhancing physical strength, supersonic flight, and dimensional travel. I can also bestow the power of holy light upon others. I am also offensive; the host can use me to punish evil. There are two criteria for judging evil: one depends on the host's own beliefs, and the other is based on the target's internal understanding of the crime committed. The more serious the target's crime, the stronger the punishment... In addition, I can purify impurities, help the target dispel related negative statuses, and heal injuries to a certain extent..."
The Holy Light Particle spilled out their secrets like beans from a bamboo tube.
Han Xiao nodded as he listened, secretly despising the Holy Light Particle. Just from the name, he thought this guy was pure and innocent, but he didn't expect him to behave after a beating. Just like the Chaos Mysterious Energy, he had no morals. Is this what happens when you live too long?
The ability to judge evil and purify malevolent forces, along with the power of the Holy Light Particle in the Tu Shu, does indeed have a "sacred" style. However, its standards are rather idealistic, and it can only unleash its full power when it encounters a righteous person with unwavering faith as its host.
More than these things, Han Xiao was more concerned about the ability of the Holy Light Particle to bestow holy light upon others. After inquiring carefully, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Holy Light is a type of multidimensional energy and is not a rare phenomenon. High-level mechanics and mages can wield it, and it possesses the characteristics of spiritual power. However, while Holy Light is not rare, it is not something ordinary people can use.
Holy Light Particle can bestow a "Holy Light Seed" upon any intelligent life form. As long as the target trains on their own, nourishes the seed with faith and belief, and allows it to blossom and bear fruit, they can master Holy Light energy and strengthen it through training. This means that Holy Light Particle can provide an additional growth system, allowing ordinary people to possess power from scratch, and even superhumans can obtain this ability.
However, since the prerequisite is obtaining the "Holy Light Seed," and the energy bestowed upon it can be recovered by Holy Light Particle, its universality is limited. It does not belong to the Five Superpower Systems that can be awakened on their own, and is more like a secondary profession.
Han Xiao learned from the Holy Light Particle that when the Holy Light Particle followed its host, it used this method to enhance the host's strength in reverse—by taking back the "Holy Light Seed" cultivated and matured by others, it could enhance itself. This was equivalent to taking away the fruits of others' labor and making others work for it for free.
After hearing its story, Han Xiao's gaze towards the Holy Light Particle immediately became much more affectionate.
--Hey kid, I didn't expect you to be a fellow investor in the world of "leeks" (investors who prey on inexperienced investors).
Han Xiao believed in seeing is believing, so he reluctantly allowed the Holy Light Particle to use this ability on him. A warm, golden light surged into his body, and the panel immediately displayed a notification.
[You have gained a new skill, [Holy Light Seed]]
[[Holy Light Seed]: Passive ability, the foundation of the power of Holy Light, requires the nourishment of faith. Upon maturity, it can awaken the secondary profession [Holy Light Envoy], requiring a faith value of 0/5000 (faith value can be increased through meditation, sacrifice, mental training, killing criminals, etc.)]
"I see... This ability is of great strategic significance. If we don't take it back, we can train many ordinary people without superhuman aptitude into warriors who wield holy light. In this way, the legion's grassroots combat strength will be greatly enhanced."
Han Xiao pondered silently.
This is an unexpected bonus; perhaps this opportunity can be sold to players, as it seems to have a good market.
However, Evans didn't reveal this ability in his previous life, probably because there were some limitations.
After some questioning, Han Xiao got the answer.
As expected, each Holy Light Seed is the primordial essence shared by Holy Light Particle. However, the Source Force recovers very slowly. If too much is used, it will severely damage one's vitality, causing the host to suffer from kidney deficiency as well. At that point, forcibly extracting more will be useless, and there will truly be no drops left.
"If it's about quickly restoring the original essence, I seem to have a way..." Han Xiao said thoughtfully.
He had a vague idea, but now was not the time to test it, so he had to put away the containment device.
Han Xiao also had the Holy Light Particle remove the Holy Light Seed from his body; he was just testing it out and didn't actually need this secondary profession.
His original plan was to turn the Holy Light Particle into Mysterious Energy Envoy, but now it seems that turning them into Mysterious Energy Envoy tools might not be the best choice.
Han Xiao checked the panel; the quest "[Chaos Mysterious Energy's Archenemy]" was now complete.
I gained 24e experience points and also received two character cards. As expected, they were Chaos Mysterious Energy and Holy Light Particle. Their abilities were nothing special: one was to extract star core energy, and the other was Holy Flame Judgment. With the main character in hand, these two character cards were better than nothing.
Han Xiao was more concerned about the new milestone mission that would unlock: [The Primordial Esper Ability Collector].
[[Primordial Esper Ability Collector (Not Activated)]: Activation Requirements -- Possess at least 4 Primordial Esper Ability Entity, currently 2/4]
[Ability: When you fight against superhumans, all your attributes increase slightly, and the damage dealt to you by superhumans is reduced by 12~20%]
[Reward: [Third Sanctum] Skill Fragment x1]
Han Xiao was slightly startled.
The Third Sanctum? What is that? I remember the skill fragment I have is from the First Sanctum? Could there be some connection between them?
"What on earth is this thing...?"
Han Xiao muttered to himself.
This problem had been bothering him for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't find a single clue.
He suppressed his curiosity and looked at the milestone ability. Its effects were targeted, specifically designed to counter those with superpowers, so it was still somewhat useful.
"The mission requires four Primordial Esper Ability Entity, meaning we're still two short. It's quite difficult, mainly because finding the targets is hard. Just give it your best..."
Just as expected, dealing with the Holy Light Particle was not difficult. After finishing their business, Han Xiao accompanied Ames on a tour of the Land of Light. After collecting enough sample materials, the two left this Secondary Dimension and headed to their next stop, the Land of Dead Silence.
With a flash of light, the Chaos Mysterious Energy, following the coordinates given by Kirkmond, led Han Xiao and his companion to the Land of Dead Silence.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Han Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, this place is really scary."
This Secondary Dimension was a deep, somber place, its spatial walls riddled with holes. Berserk spatial turbulence constantly invaded and ravaged the area. The sky was filled with endless spatial storms, shimmering with blue and purple light. Below lay a black desert, though many places had been swallowed up by the spatial turbulence and turned into nothingness. This land had been torn apart, becoming fragmented floating islands.
Han Xiao's eyes flickered, and he took out the resurrection coin he always wore close to his body. He found that the resurrection coin was heating up and was indeed reacting.
"So, the Land of Dead Silence are indeed connected to Hila..."
Han Xiao unleashed his senses, searching the entire Secondary Dimension, but found nothing; he couldn't sense anything special.
Just as Kirkmond said, this Secondary Dimension of extinction; there is nothing there.
At this moment, Ames shook her head and said, "It seems only Hila herself can discover the clues."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao nodded in agreement, estimating that Hila's abilities could resonate with the Land of Dead Silence and activate certain special events. Although his strength was greater, he clearly did not meet the requirements.
"At least I've paved the way for her, making it easier for her to come next time." Han Xiao anchored the coordinates of this dimension in the database.
Just as the two were about to leave, suddenly, a powerful energy source of life appeared out of thin air and entered their perception range.
The two turned their heads and saw a figure covered in wounds fall out of a spatial turbulence and land right in a hole in the spatial wall of the Land of Dead Silence.
Ames blinked, looking puzzled.
"Hmm, this person looks familiar..."
at the same time.
"Your Excellencies, the Cross-Plane Detection Radar has locked onto the target!"
In the spaceship's command center, Luo and Fei hurriedly checked the map.
"Isn't this the person we met before?"
"No, he's in another Secondary Dimension, and what he's detecting now is the second Peak Beyond Grade A signal."
After confirming there was no mistake, Luo decisively gave the order:
"Alright, new target locked, full speed ahead!"
On the other side, Fel Energy Aggregation.
The spatial barrier, subjected to some unknown brutal treatment, cracked from the inside like an inflated balloon, leaving this Secondary Dimension without any protection. The once vibrant purplish-green fel energy seemed to have lost all its vitality, and along with all the corpses here, it was swept away by the spatial turbulence and vanished without a trace.
This special Secondary Dimension, from which life was born, has become a wrecked remains, utterly silent, and is rapidly fading away.
Clottey crushed the head of the last Beyond Grade A aid, looked up at the raging spatial storm around him, frowned, and was somewhat dissatisfied with his performance.
"Having not fought for too long, I've definitely regressed. I accidentally used too much force, and he managed to escape using the spatial turbulence."
