Chen Yi's Choice for His First Clone, an Astounding Passive Skill!

A targeted draw.

Naturally, nothing went wrong.

An "Origin Core" slipped out of the Cloud Raising Mirror. A flash of white light reflected from its surface and drew out a strand of Chen Yi's Soul Will, merging it into the Origin Core.

The process was extremely quick.

There was no pain at all...

"This..." Chen Yi could sense the Origin Core. Now... it had become his true core.

He was just like a humanoid Golden Horned Beast.

Golden runes radiated from the Origin Core. In that instant, Chen Yi's perception of the Law of Metal became countless times clearer. Within the Origin Core was also an Internal World.

"An Internal World... this Origin Core has an Internal World too."

Chen Yi thought about it. A Golden Horned Beast did need an Internal World to gestate a Clone, after all.

"Now that things are like this..."

"If a powerful expert could peer inside my body, they'd probably think I'd also taken over a Golden Horned Beast's body, except that I put the Origin Core in a human body..."

Luo Feng had also finished taking over the body.

He was now getting it under control and receiving the inherited memories.

Chen Yi was already preparing to create his first Clone. His idea was to spend "points" to feed the mirror and create it.

He could set the Clone's innate abilities himself. As long as they were reasonable and he had enough points, he could create it. He had studied many kinds of Clones over the past few days.

He now had a full 55,000 universal points!

As for ordinary points, after the past six months... he still had 16,000, for a total of 71,000 points. That was more than enough to create a genetic sample from a suitable exotic life-form and gestate a fully formed Clone!

"The Clone plan I came up with before was worth 50,000 points. I didn't expect to gather enough all at once."

Chen Yi's points plan was simple.

It was:

"Passive skills"!

"Cloud Raising Mirror, create the Clone I planned out before." Chen Yi gave the Cloud Raising Mirror its orders.

[The item previously designed by the "Mirror Master" has been selected.]

[The corresponding universal points have been deducted. The item is being designed and created according to the requirements...]

[The item has been created successfully.]

[Feeding item: "Starry Firmament Hibernation One-skin fragment"!]

[Starry Firmament Hibernation One: an illusory insect. Weak in strength, with low aptitude for laws and a tiny body, it is pitifully frail...]

[Innate Secret Technique-Hibernation: upon use, the Starry Firmament Hibernation One enters a dormant slumber. Its body falls completely asleep, leaving it unable to move or attack, with no awareness of the outside world. It takes time to awaken, and in this state, it is at anyone's mercy.]

[However, while dormant, the Starry Firmament Hibernation One's comprehension and thinking double compared to their normal state, reaching the limit permitted by the Primal Universe for comprehension-type Innate Secret Techniques!]

[In the Mirror Master's current state, this Clone can be successfully gestated using the innate secret technique.]

[Price: 50,400 points!]

That was Chen Yi's idea.

According to the setting of Devouring World... Clones did not need to be strong, but they had to offer powerful functionality when combined.

Take the original plot, for example.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast had an aptitude for the Law of Metal, his Demon Killer Clan Clone had an aptitude for the Law of Space as well as stealth and infiltration, and his Nine Nether Sea Clone had an enormous divine body and a talent for creation.

Together, they made a well-rounded combination.

A lower law, a higher law, infiltration and reconnaissance, an enormous divine body, and a talent for creation that could also help him follow the Divine Power Path.

But for Chen Yi,

Aptitude for laws could be drawn, and so could Gene Level.

The Demon Killer Clan's copying talent could also be drawn. In the future, he could draw a talent that granted an enormous divine body, such as the Nine Nether Sea's "Sea Transformation."

Besides, an enormous divine body was not particularly useful at this early stage of cultivation.

In the future, with numerous Innate Secret Techniques at his disposal, his original human body would be powerful enough. He could simply have a Clone use the Sea Transformation talent later.

So, apart from the powerful talents he did not yet know about, he naturally had to add something to help him along...

Such as:

The "Starry Firmament Hibernation One."

According to the Cloud Raising Mirror, an Innate Secret Technique that doubled comprehension was already the limit of what the Primal Universe could grant.

As for its other traits-its frailty, tiny divine body, and inability to move while asleep... all of those were there to keep the points price down and make it possible to gestate this powerful Clone.

None of those issues really mattered.

As long as it could serve as a trump card, the "Starry Firmament Hibernation One" could hold the "Origin Core" if his original human body died.

That was enough to keep him alive.

He would have to keep this Clone hidden anyway.

With this Clone,

No matter what realm Chen Yi reached, as long as he had not yet reached the True God level and the Clone had not yet returned, he could comprehend things with twice the comprehension and thinking ability.

That was exactly what he needed most right now.

And it was a super Clone that would never become obsolete!

Time ticked by. Luo Feng was still trying to get his body under control, while Chen Yi was already preparing to gestate his first Clone.

In the Internal World within Chen Yi's Origin Core,

He used the Clone Talent's innate secret technique on the "Starry Firmament Hibernation One" he had just obtained through feeding. Then... energy gathered, forming an oval golden egg.

The Clone had been successfully gestated!

The Starry Firmament Hibernation One Clone began to develop.

Once it finished developing... its comprehension and thinking would double when it used its "Hibernation" talent. However he looked at it, that was far better than a race like the Golden Horned Beast, which only had some enhancement from its Gene Level and Innate Secret Techniques.

From this point on... Chen Yi felt that he was about to soar, and Luo Feng would most likely be unable to keep up with his cultivation progress.

At this moment,

The Cloud Raising Mirror's advantages were becoming increasingly apparent.

"Gestating the 'Starry Firmament Hibernation One' will actually take only half a year."

Chen Yi checked.

Perhaps it was because he was already at Star Level First Stage. This Starry Firmament Hibernation One's skin fragment was only at Planetary Level First Stage, and the Starry Firmament Hibernation One itself was very small, only a few centimeters in size.

However,

Chen Yi still intended to create some items to speed up the gestation process, as planned. Most importantly, he also had to help Luo Feng speed up the gestation of his Earthling Clone.

He now had the Golden Horned Beast's aptitude for the Law of Metal, as well as the "Starry Firmament Hibernation One's" doubled comprehension.

He should be able to earn a place in the Genius Battle.

But overtaking Bolan was another matter. In the original plot, even with the Demon Killer Clan Clone's understanding of the Law of Space, Luo Feng had still been far behind Bolan.

So naturally, he could not waste crucial time gestating a Clone. He had to secure more time for efficient cultivation-that was the way to go!

The pace required for the Genius Battle was worth chasing.

The days passed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by. Luo Feng had gained control of the Golden Horned Beast's body and had begun gestating his Earthling Clone.

In the chat channel,

"Senior Yun" took the opportunity to speak:

"Luo Feng, I'll give you some items to speed up the gestation of your Earthling Clone shortly. It's time I told you and Chen Yi more."

"While observing the future, I discovered two important things."

"First, your planet may attract the attention of some Universe Level little fellows in the future. Their family is called the 'Nuolanshan Family.'"

"Second, the universe's Genius Battle is about to begin in your part of the universe. I think that, with my guidance, you and Chen Yi have a chance to compete for first and second place. Your greatest opponent is called 'Bolan'..."

Chen Yi thought it over bit by bit.

He explained the latest information and arrangements to Luo Feng. All that remained was to wait for the Clones to finish gestating before formally entering the universe.

When that time came and they encountered more geniuses and powerful experts,

The Cloud Raising Mirror's drawing ability would grow even stronger!

February 2058.

After six months,

Luo Feng's Earthling Clone had also finished gestating.

At this moment... in a place unknown to anyone, Chen Yi's "Starry Firmament Hibernation One" Clone had already finished gestating months ago.

His doubled comprehension and thinking

Had allowed Chen Yi to progress at astonishing speed... His improvements had completely surpassed Luo Feng's, and the Cloud Raising Mirror's powerful abilities were truly beginning to show.

With the "Star Torch Body-Burning Record" also assisting his research into mastering domains ahead of time,

He had comprehended the Metal Domain as well.

It had even far surpassed his Wood Domain, coming from behind to take the lead. It was now a Third-Stage Domain!

Hongning Base City.

Today, Hong smiled in his private cultivation chamber.

A flash of golden light burst forth.

He had officially mastered a Second-Stage Domain. He had just sparred with Thunder God and defeated him easily. A Second-Stage Domain could utterly crush a First-Stage Domain!

In his eyes, his progress was already quite astonishing.

He had completed the task assigned by the system, after all.

This was a realm he had finally reached with the aid of the Divine Light Liquid and Meteorite Ink Star's warrior inheritance, and after cultivating for such a long time.

"Now..."

"My cultivation progress should have overtaken Chen Yi and Luo Feng's, right?"

"After all, aptitude for laws is so hard to improve, but I can rely on the treasures the system gave me..." Hong smiled.

Then he contacted Chen Yi.

He felt a spar with Chen Yi would be more worthwhile. His second brother, Thunder God... was too weak now.
