"The Legacy of the Earth Guardian? The World Origin Force, the Pact of Guardianship, Listening to the World..."
In the laboratory atop the Nirvana Tower, Logo examined memories from Lancelot.
After entering the star core, the latter quickly received a massive amount of inherited information, much of which was extremely valuable and not even found in the database of the Aslant Civilization.
This is not surprising. In terms of strength, the Earth Guardian far surpass the Aslant Civilization, with countless God Level experts. It is just that their power is scattered throughout the Known Cosmic Sea and not concentrated enough, which is why they are not well-known to the general public.
In fact, the higher-ups of advanced civilizations are generally aware of the formidable strength of the Guardians.
Normally, this inherited knowledge cannot be shared with others due to the limitations imposed by the power of the contract. However, Logo and Gustavo are extremely special individuals to Lancelot.
They cannot be considered a single person, because they have independent personalities, bodies, and even souls, and their causes Fate do not intersect.
Yet their memories are shared, and they have virtually no secrets from each other.
Of course, if one party wants to block out some memories, it is still possible. For example, the memories of Lancelot and Zyra sparring with each other were blocked by him, so Logo and Gustavo had no way of knowing about them, and they didn't care.
It is precisely because of this peculiar relationship that Logo was able to bypass the restrictions of the inheritance contract and directly peek into the contents of the inheritance.
Among these professional lineages, he actually found a skill that he found very interesting.
[Pact of Guardianship]
A special covenant forged by the Mother of the Stars, based on the Miracle Creation [the Chaos Stele].
The Pact of Guardianship is primarily used for weapons. Weapons imbued with the Pact of Guardianship undergo a transformation under the influence of the Astral Realm rules, becoming intertwined with the Fate of their master, the Earth Guardian. They share in each other's glory and loss, and possess the ability to advance autonomously, accompanying their master as they grow.
Due to the power of the Pact of Guardianship, its quantity is destined to be limited, and it can generally only be obtained through inheritance. Lancelot's Pact of Guardianship most likely came from the broken sword, Wind of the Stars.
Logo is not Earth Guardian, so he cannot possess the Pact of Guardianship.
However, his identity as an alchemist was not just for show. With the aid of the Eye of Insight, he could easily create a high-quality replica, thereby transforming the Nirvana Tower into something similar to a guardian weapon.
"The original plan must be adjusted. With the Pact of Guardianship as a reference, I can be bolder..." A hint of madness appeared in Logo's eyes. The deep blue light reappeared in his pupils, and a massive flow of information swirled and overflowed in his eyes, colliding and converging to create a series of inspirations.
After an unknown amount of time, Logo, having completed the adjustments to the Nirvana Tower manufacturing plan, emerged from his crazed alchemist state. He took out a vial of potion to replenish his strength, and his pale complexion gradually returned to normal.
Thinking consumes as much physical energy as a major battle, if not more. If it weren't for the Eye of Insight helping him bear most of the pressure, Logo's brain would have exploded from overheating long ago, after all, he is still a living being of flesh and blood.
"However... that won't be the case for long!"
With eyes as bright as the blazing sun, Logo adjusted himself and went to a certain place in the laboratory.
In the electromagnetic confinement field, currents surged back and forth like lightning pythons, while a mechanical warhammer slowly rose and fell within it, exuding an extremely domineering aura.
[Destroyer Warhammer]
A multi-functional melee weapon with three forms, primarily used for offensive purposes.
After multiple structural adjustments and changes to the main materials, the quality of this weapon has approached the Legend limit. Logo's current goal is to completely elevate it to the Immortal.
Looking at the progress of [Power of Immortality] on the information panel, it's 99.49%. The Destroyer Warhammer is complete, and the progress will be fully maxed out.
"Let's get to work!"
With a crackling sound, golden-blue sparks flashed from his fingertips. The Fire of Birth swayed like a flower in the wind, extending thin, hair-like energy threads that burrowed into the interior of the Destroyer Warhammer and continued to split into energy lines that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
There are many styles of mechanical weapons.
The ruggedness of steam machinery, the precision of electromagnetic machinery...
The Destroyer Warhammer is clearly of the precision style. Although it looks like a large iron hammer with little technical content, the complexity of its internal structure is enough to leave most advanced Mechanics dumbfounded.
Even top-tier Mechanics would need to expend tremendous effort to create mechanical weapons of this quality, and might not even be able to complete the task. Yet, Logo remained calm and nonchalant throughout the process.
Buzz!!
As the mechanical hammer vibrated, lightning crackled and surged, and strands of golden-blue energy detached and returned to Logo's body like swallows returning to their nests.
Use the Eye of Insight to view; an information panel will appear.
The quality of the Destroyer Warhammer has clearly been upgraded.
The equipment effects have been significantly optimized, the descriptions are very clear, the durability has also increased dramatically, and the overall performance has improved by more than a notch compared to before.
What pleased Logo most was the progress of the Power of Immortality, which had finally reached 100%.
On the information panel, [Power of Immortality] shimmered with golden light, and related information appeared.
Similar to the Power of Legend, the Power of Immortality serves a simple purpose: to guarantee a minimum return.
However, the guaranteed amount provided by the Power of Legend is approximately one-fifth.
The Power of Immortality is much weaker, only 10%.
In other words, he needs to create ten Legend- quality alchemical artifacts to produce one Immortal- quality one.
The probability is halved.
But that's already incredibly amazing.
That's Immortal quality; normally, it can only be crafted through a burst of inspiration from an alchemist. Luck, skill, materials, experience... all are indispensable.
Let alone a 10% guaranteed success rate, even a 1% chance is incredibly rare.
Furthermore, the higher the level of alchemical creations, the higher their value. Consequently, the value of the two secondary talents, [Power of Legend] and [Power of Immortality], also increases. After all, as long as Logo's alchemy level keeps up, he can continuously create alchemical items of this quality.
As long as you have enough materials, making money is a piece of cake.
"The Power of Immortality is fully formed, and I can now step into the Legendary rank. The power of the Eye of Insight can also be further awakened..."
Breaking through to the Legendary level might be a huge hurdle for ordinary people, but it's nothing to Logo. The only thing he needs to be wary of is the resurgence of the power of the Eye of Insight, which may further "format" his emotions.
"The ' Thoughts of Living Beings ' is a good thing; no wonder wars have broken out repeatedly in the Divine Realm, the Abyss, and Hell, all vying for Thoughts of Living Beings."
Logo sighed inwardly.
What he calls "the Thoughts of Living Beings" is, frankly speaking, emotion.
The positive part is called "the Power of Faith," and the negative part is called "the Power of Original Sin."
Gods absorb faith.
The devil devours original sin.
As for the Demons of the Abyss, they accept everything, good or bad, because once they reach the Abyss, everything Western Capital chaotic.
Logo certainly wouldn't absorb "the Thoughts of Living Beings," nor did he intend to become a god through faith. Although there were records of this in the Aslant Civilization, it wasn't the path of an alchemist.
His need for the Thoughts of Living Beings stems primarily from a desire to anchor his emotions and prevent himself from being "regulated."
For Logo, the "Thoughts of Living Beings" is like a ship, and his emotions are the passengers on that ship.
In the vast ocean, the weather is unpredictable, and storms can come at any time. Only a ship that is big and Sturdiness enough can protect his feelings.
Therefore, Logo chose to build up his power and become the leader of the Gendaya Royal Court.
Individuals with limited Thoughts of Living Beings cannot build ships that can withstand great waves, so they can only focus on increasing quantity.
When you become the king of billions of beings, when they chant your name daily, when countless threads of cause and effect connect from all directions—each one insignificant in itself—when they converge, their power is unstoppable!
Since his ascension to the High-Rank Transcendent, the Royal Court has been promoting Logo every moment, shaping him from every angle into the rising star of the Gendaya People.
Now, he has been elevated to a god-like status.
He was fervently worshipped by countless subjects, especially those who benefited from the "New Blood Reform," who were even more fanatical followers of Logo.
You'll never understand the feeling of being pulled out of the mire without experiencing it yourself—it's redemption, it's light!
In the Second Age, why did the God of Faith prevent the development of technology and magic? Because the advancement of civilization would greatly reduce suffering.
Without suffering, there is no need for redemption, and therefore no need for gods. This fundamentally undermines the power of God of Faith.
It would be strange if war didn't break out between the two sides!
Of course, there can be no suffering in this world, nor can there be no desires. Therefore, the God of Faith and demons, theoretically, can never be eliminated, only weakened, since the day they appeared.
Because they are essentially representatives of a power, and are an integral part of the fundamental rules and order of the Astral Realm.
Without demons and gods, other races or factions representing such power will inevitably emerge in the future.
Black and white, good and evil, have always been in a state of ebb and flow, yet they are also interdependent.
That said, the "Thoughts of Living Beings" provided by the Royal Court was enormous, at least several hundred times larger than when he broke through to the High-Rank Transcendent. According to Logo's speculation, this was enough to anchor his emotions.
After forming the Power of Immortality, he quickly adjusted his state and, without hesitation, went directly to the prepared breakthrough location, the bottom floor of the Nirvana Tower.
The Elemental Pool, serving as the core of the energy source, is temporarily located here. Energy transmission pipes are scattered across the ground, through which Elemental Magical Energy is sent to various parts of the Nirvana Tower, ensuring an energy supply.
At this moment, a silver-black, pointed square tower stands above the Elemental Pool.
The Life Evolution Device, commonly known as the Energy-Gathering Obelisk, can gather enormous energy to help life levels break through.
The technology from the Aslant Civilization is absolutely stable and reliable, and it is one of the many Immortal- quality equipment that Logo has created in recent times.
With it, the probability of a life form breaking through to the Legendary can be increased by 15%-21%, which is terrifying.
As a result, Logo dared not reveal this thing to anyone, let alone sell it.
Once the major empires learn that he possesses this game-changing black technology, it is foreseeable that they will seize it by force.
After forcibly seizing the property, it seems highly probable that, to prevent this genius alchemist from becoming jealous and causing him to Destruction and eliminated completely, the most likely outcome would be...
Don't underestimate the ruthlessness of these countries.
Between nations, there are only interests, not emotions.
Of course, these are just Logo's personal speculations, and the outcome might be quite good.
But then you have to leave it to fate!
Unfortunately, gambling on luck is not in Logo's nature; he prefers to keep everything under control, and caution is always his first principle in action.
As the mechanical hatch opened, Logo entered the Energy-Gathering Obelisk. After sitting down, metal conduits, which were embedded in the energy circuits, emerged from all directions, their tips connecting to various parts of his body.
[Checking your health status]
[Detection complete, life force resonance in progress...]
[Resonance complete, energy frequency locked, initiating the first wave of energy input...]
[Countdown begins, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Buzz!!
Logo's expression tightened as he felt an immense energy completely envelop him, followed by a tearing pain. Then, his consciousness blurred, and he found himself above an endless black ocean. The water swayed gently, and his body sank deeper and deeper, growing colder and colder...
And it is in this coldness and darkness that the resilience inherent in life itself is fully unleashed.
The Energy-Gathering Obelisk is also gradually gaining momentum.
The vast Magical Energy accumulated in the Elemental Pool below was rapidly extracted by the Energy-Gathering Obelisk and transformed into energy suitable for Logo's absorption. This energy resonated with a frequency that matched the fluctuations of his life force, allowing his body to absorb energy to a near-perfect degree.
At the same time, Logo's physical body was also undergoing a rapid transformation, which spread to the level of his soul.
Life is being elevated!
An invisible pressure slowly emanated from the obelisk.
Golden-blue flames appeared out of thin air, burning fiercely, but they did not destroy anything. They simply spread on their own until they enveloped the entire Nirvana Tower, as if they were placing it in a furnace to be reforged.
Stimulated by the alchemist's unique energy, the runes on the Nirvana Tower shone brighter than ever before, forming various patterns.
The fiery bird poised to take flight, the illusory Gate of Space, and various patterns such as rings, prismatic crystals, and majestic mountains—all these are external manifestations of a powerful Rune Array. In the past few months, Logo has almost completed the framework of the basic Rune System of the Nirvana Tower, and the entire Rune Array has been inscribed.
With these resources, plus the energy supplied by the Elemental Pool, even though the construction of the Nirvana Tower is still in its early stages, it can still unleash considerable power. At least it can easily suppress a Legendary life form!
Time passed slowly, and the flames burning on the Nirvana Tower grew more and more intense, attracting the attention of more and more people, who speculated about what kind of big experiment Earl Campbell was conducting this time, making such a commotion.
Only a select few in the know understand that Logo is advancing to the Legendary rank.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The Nirvana Tower trembled violently, the color of the Fire of Birth deepened, and it suddenly contracted back into the tower. The conspicuous patterns of the external Rune Array also disappeared, and the entire tower became as ancient as before.
"Boss has succeeded in breaking through!" Crassus was overjoyed, and the anxiety he had been feeling finally subsided.
Caesar glanced at Crassus and said irritably, "What's so strange about that? The boss's success rate in breaking through is 100%, and you actually doubt his abilities!"
"Oh..." Crassus squinted, glanced down at Caesar's fists, which were clenched tightly in obvious tension, and sneered, "Before you say that, straighten your claws."
"..."
Caesar silently placed his hands behind his back, his eyes becoming unfocused. He'd been too hasty; next time he'd compose himself before mocking this foolish tiger.
On the other side.
Inside the Energy-Gathering Obelisk, the energy tide slowly receded, Logo felt his body lighten, as if he had been freed from constraints and was floating on air.
This is no illusion. After becoming Legendary, one's life magnetic field undergoes a transformation, forming one's own Sanctuary, connected to heaven and earth. One can easily escape the gravity of planets, and flying and escaping become instinctive.
With the help of the Sanctuary, one can refine all sorts of chaotic energies, travel to many harsh environments, and maintain abundant energy, greatly increase lifespan, and undergo soul transformation even after years without food or water...
All of these factors form a thick barrier, separating the Legendary from the Ninth-Rank Transcendent.
Even if the latter acquires Legendary combat power through certain means, the gap in their life level cannot be bridged. This is a fundamental difference, clearly dividing them into two worlds.
The Transcendent are like birds in a cage; the Legendary are like eagles soaring in the sky.
Open the information panel, and all your body data will be displayed intuitively.
First, there are physical attributes.
The main attributes, Spirit and Energy, both reached 91 points, and the corresponding Attribute Talent were awakened.
The corresponding Attribute Talent for the spirit is [Soul Protection], a passive ability. Simply put, it uses the excess spiritual energy that overflows in daily life to form a protective barrier, which can defend against soul attacks.
Because it's a passive ability, it doesn't require you to actively trigger it; it's a normal form of defense, adding another means of defense.
The corresponding Attribute Talent for energy is [Gloom Barrier], an active skill and a defensive talent. After activation, the body's energy will form an eggshell-shaped barrier layer about one meter outside the body, resisting attacks from all directions without any blind spots.
Apart from that, the other attributes haven't changed much.
With only 81 points in Constitution, there's still a long way to go before awakening Attribute Talent. Charm, Mystery, and Luck are even less relevant, as they aren't primary attributes and their improvement rate is even slower.
Of course, for Logo, attributes are important, but they are not fundamental.
Ultimately, he was an alchemist; knowledge was everything.
Because of the Fire of Birth, the advancement of knowledge also signifies the enhancement of power.
Currently, [Mechanics], [Bloodline], and [Pharmacology] have all reached level 31.
The levels of basic disciplines such as [Spellology] and [Spatial Studies] have long since exceeded those levels.
Because these disciplines improved so rapidly, it was extremely difficult for Logo to suppress the advancement of his own life rank, and there were many times when his Power of Immortality almost failed.
Fortunately, he pulled through.
[Power of Miracle] is different from [Power of Legend] and [Power of Immortality]. It doesn't necessarily have to be formed at the top alchemist stage. As long as you create a piece of equipment of Miracle quality, or concoct a potion of Miracle quality, or any other alchemical creation of Miracle quality at this stage, it will work!
One item is all you need.
The main purpose is to serve as a catalyst. With this medium, the success rate of creating each Miracle Creation will increase until this secondary talent is formed.
Otherwise, if one were to truly max out the progress of [Power of Miracle] at the top alchemist stage, it would be billions of times harder than an ordinary person ascending to heaven, making it simply impossible to complete.
Of course, for 99.99999999% of the alchemists in the Astral Realm, [Power of Legend] is a luxury, [Power of Immortality] is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of, and [Power of Miracle] is an even more unattainable dream.
Let alone creating alchemical items of Miracle quality, most alchemists have never even seen one.
However, Logo already had a plan.
Throughout his journey, all his actions were not impulsive, but rather planned and methodical.
The Miracle quality creation required for the Power of Miracle is the Nirvana Tower.
This alchemy tower was something Logo had been preparing since his early days Lower Transcendent being.
Once it's upgraded to Miracle quality, [Power of Miracle] will have a foundation, and you can proceed step by step from now on.
Attention shifts from the physical attributes information panel to a particular talent.
[Soul Informatization] Passive/Active -- Your soul form undergoes tremendous changes under the influence of Space-Time travel and the Eye of Insight, acquiring information life characteristics. You will be able to transform between information life and a normal soul.
Note: In the information life form, you will be immune to all physical and soul damage, but you will also be affected by the information flow.
Note: You can copy and store your own physical information. If your physical body Destruction, you can reshape your body using substances with the same properties.
The guess was correct; after advancing to Legendary, the [Soul Informatization] talent finally revealed its power.
Logo had been pondering this before. How could the talent that accompanied the Eye of Insight only reduce soul damage by 50%? The power of [Truth Analysis] was undeniable. With just one talent, Logo had become a super alchemical genius.
While [Soul Informatization] may not be as good as [Truth Analysis], it shouldn't be this bad.
Therefore, he speculated that this talent might have failed to reveal its full potential for some reason.
For example, life rank, comprehension of laws, soul strength, and so on.
As expected, after advancing to Legendary and fulfilling certain implicit conditions, [Soul Informatization] instantly soared to Fenghuang, transforming from a single passive ability into a talent combining active and passive abilities.
In an active state, he can freely transform his soul form.
It may transform into a complete informational life form, or it may remain in a soul state.
The former is immune to most attacks and possesses the abilities of all intelligent life forms (information life forms), such as traversing quantum space, Fantasy Dimension, and infiltrating various communication networks as a stream of information.
The latter is the same as before, except that it has lost the ability to be immune to attacks and has completely transformed into a normal soul form. It can launch soul attacks, perform normal meditation, and cultivate any Transcendent abilities related to the soul.
And this is just the basics.
Based on the current strength of [Soul Informatization]'s capabilities, Logo had a bold idea.
