Having decided to use the Abyss Power as the core driving force for the second advancement of the Nirvana Tower to Miracle quality, the next logical step is to explore how to obtain the Abyss Power.

Logo had a contingency plan for this.

In fact, compared to the primal forces of other planes, the Abyss Power is the easiest to obtain. This is because the Abyss, as a super plane, occupies a completely different ecological niche in the Astral Realm compared to other planes.

Chaos inherently symbolizes fluidity and change, and once things start moving, they will naturally reveal their flaws, and the Abyss is no exception.

There are four main known methods to obtain Abyss Power in the Astral Realm.

First, extract the Abyss Power from the bodies of the demon race.

The demons mentioned here refer to pure-blooded demons, that is, demons born from the "Abyss Demonic Sea," regardless of their strength.

A powerful being like Dark Moon Gelaxius, who possesses demonic blood, is not a pure demon and does not have the Abyss Power within him. Unless he completely falls into the Abyss and completes the dual transformation of his spirit and body to become a pure demon, he will not possess the Abyss Power within him.

Second, the initiative of the Abyss Will.

Unlike the Plane Will, the Abyss Will is extremely active and even possesses some characteristics of intelligent life, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

The Abyss Will can even mobilize its power to directly attack a living being, something unimaginable in other planes.

Therefore, gaining the favor or dislike of the Abyss Will is much simpler than in normal dimensions.

The advancement of the demon race also mainly depends on the bestowal of the Abyss Will.

In short, by frantically Slaughter, devouring, and committing all sorts of evil deeds in the Abyss, one can please the Abyss Will, receive the infusion of Abyss Power, and thus increase one's strength.

Demons love Slaughter and Destruction, partly due to their chaotic nature, but also largely due to the encouragement and instigation of the Abyss Will.

Third, various resources unique to the Abyss, such as [Abyss Crystal] and [Dark Agate], which are well-known resources.

As mentioned earlier, the Abyss Power is prone to leakage due to the chaotic nature of the Abyss itself.

When this leaked Abyss Power is integrated with natural materials such as plants, rocks, and mountains, it creates unique Abyss resources.

Abyss Power can be extracted from these Abyss resources.

Fourth, theft.

Dharma Form of obtaining Abyss Power, the fourth method is significantly less common, but the profits are indeed enormous. The most typical example is that in the early Second Era, the Lord of Hell used the treasure [Hand of Hell] to steal a massive amount of Abyss Power, and based on this, he created the Nine Hells.

This also marked the beginning of an Endless war between the Devil Clan and the Demon Race.

Of the four methods, Logo first ruled out the fourth.

There's no other reason than that the technology required is too advanced and the strength needed is too great. With Logo's small frame, daring to steal the Abyss Power, there's only one outcome: he'll be crushed to death on the spot by the giant claw of the Abyss descending from the sky.

Hiding in Higher-Dimensional Information Space is useless. An attack of that level would inevitably target Logo's entire causal existence, completely erasing Logo from the Astral Realm. Apart from some peak powerhouses who are unaffected, even Lancelot and Gustavo would forget him, unless they grow to a certain level in the future and then remember Logo's existence again.

If we eliminate one, three remain.

After thinking about it, I ruled out the second option as well.

To receive the blessing of the Abyss Will, one must first become a demon, a goal that Logo has no immediate plans for.

As for controlling some demons, pleasing the Abyss Will to obtain the Abyss Power, and then slaughtering them, it seems a bit like taking off your pants to fart. With that effort, it would be better to just slaughter the existing demons and obtain their corpses.

In any case, the Abyss is boundless and the number of demons living in it is countless. As long as the Abyss exists and its Abyss Will does not perish, there is no need to worry about killing the demons to extinction.

After removing the second and fourth methods, only the first and third methods remain.

Logo's choice was, "I want them all."

We must adopt a two-pronged approach to quickly acquire a sufficient amount of Abyss Power to meet the requirements for the Nirvana Tower to advance to Five-Star Miracle quality.

However, while a two-pronged approach is fast, the difficulties are also obvious.

The prerequisite for extracting Abyss Power from pure-blooded demons is obtaining a sufficient number of pure-blooded demon corpses.

The quickest way to obtain Abyss resources is to pay money.

The former requires force, the latter requires financial resources; both are troublesome matters.

After a simple calculation, Logo discovered that if he wanted to upgrade Nirvana Tower to Five-Star Miracle, the price he would need to pay would be at least a hundred times higher than Lancelot's.

This made Logo envious of Lancelot; the Earth Guardian class had an incredibly easy time advancing to the next level in terms of main weapon upgrades.

Destruction a mere City of Freedom would easily upgrade the Steel Feather Cloak to Five-Star Miracle, and the extra Primeval Stone would be worth tens of thousands.

While these Primeval Stone weren't enough to elevate the Steel Feather Cloak to a six-star Miracle quality, they ensured that Lancelot wouldn't have to worry about resources before advancing to God Level, and that the Steel Feather Cloak could smoothly reach the six-star level.

Looking back, the sheer volume of things Logo had to do to upgrade Nirvana Tower to Five-Star Miracle... it's incomparable.

Taking a deep breath, Logo retrieved some information from his mind.

Most of this information is about how to open up the Abyss passage and some coordinates of the shallow layers of the Abyss.

As the Son of Truth of the Alchemist Association, possessing access to the Aslant Civilization Database, and having connections with Pureblood Human Race, Logo is truly not lacking in knowledge.

Even if someone else knew how to obtain the Abyss Power, it would be like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without ingredients.

Because he simply cannot open a passage to the Abyss.

Or rather, even if they could open it up, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.

If, by some accident, one were to poke a hole deep into the Abyss, attracting the demon lord, or even the demon king, not only would the demon lord himself likely perish, but the Elven Plane might also be dragged into the Bottomless Abyss, becoming a part of Abyss.

Logo didn't have this concern.

Firstly, his status as an alchemy master and the existence of the Eye of Insight ensured that he could successfully open the Abyss Passage.

Secondly, Logo possessed too many coordinates of the Abyss layers of the abyss.

Locating these coordinates ensures that the opened Abyss passage won't attract too powerful a demon, thus bringing disaster upon ourselves.

With these two guarantees, Logo dared to do this momentous thing, something that would make the Plane Will scream.
