Abyss Sequence-Chapter 372 - 29: Similarity
If the Evil God’s Mark is treated as an automatically responsive program, this result can be easily obtained.
Input ’slaughter’, output ’power’, what is the transformation process?
Yan Luo believes it may be a remnant spirit of the Evil God.
The Evil God’s Mark is something created by a powerful civilization that manufactured the abyss; they probably modified the residual spirit of the Evil God after its death to create an automatically responsive program.
The Evil God’s Mark on Yan Luo comes from an Evil God known as ’Frenzy’. As long as ’slaughter behavior’ is inputted, the remaining spirit of the Evil God will command the magic power to output the result of ’strength’ to Yan Luo’s body.
This is a rough, uncontrolled transformation process, so it directly converts the magic power obtained from slaughtering demons into Yan Luo’s strength.
If magic power is truly governed by will, then could he also create something similar to the Evil God’s mark?
Before that, he must first learn how to partition his own spirit.
Shaking his head, throwing these complicated thoughts aside, Yan Luo resumed his meal.
When he had eaten one-third of the giant rakshasa beast he sat upon, this city-breaking-level demon painfully succumbed to death.
However, Yan Luo could clearly feel its death, yet its body did not disappear.
This situation made Yan Luo’s heart sink.
The materialization of the abyss was becoming more serious; the demon’s corpse did not dissolve into magic power after death.
Yan Luo knew very well that what he was witnessing was merely an exception, a coincidence.
After other demons die, their corpses still dissolve into magic power.
But once there’s one instance, there will be more.
Sooner or later, the abyss will be fully materialized, and when that time comes, who knows what will happen to Blue Star.
Yan Luo silently consumed the entire giant rakshasa beast, even though it took considerable time, and his body even showed slight symptoms of demon intoxication.
He was still too weak, to be demon-intoxicated after eating an entire city-breaking-level demon!
He must become stronger so that he can eat an entire city-breaking-level demon without showing symptoms of demon intoxication. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
......
Nine days after extracting all the nanomachines from her body via surgery, Yulia regained full mobility, able to run and jump.
On this same day, she completed the construction of her first imprint.
"It actually works..."
Detecting an imprint reaction within her body, Yulia opened her eyes in astonishment.
She seemed to have returned to over seventy years ago when she first condensed an imprint,
Yulia’s first imprint was [Power], and now, the imprint reconstructed within her body is also [Power].
Yulia realized it was the effect of the ’Soul Seed’.
Because of the inherent ’imprint instinct’ in her body, when using meditation to ’imagine’ an imprint appearing within, she naturally condensed her first imprint.
The method envisioned by Helena and the others truly exists, perhaps ancient engravers used this method to engrave themselves.
No wonder there are many depictions of sitting meditation, breathing exercises, and meditative practices in ancient texts!
At this moment, Yulia realized that constructing an imprint with nanomachines wasn’t a completely wrong approach, at least after constructing the imprint once, she could quickly use the Soul Seed to conduct a second engraving.
After discovering the imprint reaction within her, Yulia was unable to calm her mind and continue meditating, so she left the room to breathe some fresh air outdoors.
Standing in the hallway, leaning against the window looking at the sun, Yulia sent a message to Helena to prevent that young girl from continuing to worry and guilt.
[Wonderful! Congratulations, Ms. Bilukova!]
Even in just text, Yulia could sense Helena’s joy and excitement.
Seeing this, Yulia’s lips subtly curled upwards.
A breeze came, and Yulia felt like the whole world was blessing her rebirth.
......
"What? It actually succeeded?"
When he heard the news about Yulia restoring her first imprint, Wu Zechuan looked up in shock and headed to the office’s large floor-to-ceiling window.
From the president’s office window, the hospital is visible, and currently, Yulia is residing in the VIP ward of the hospital.
The method proposed by Helena and the others may actually have some validity, although Wu Zechuan didn’t quite believe it.
Even though he himself didn’t quite believe it, because Yulia insisted on extracting the imprint anyway, Wu Zechuan helped her.
Upon hearing this news, Wu Zechuan was stunned for a while and then sent a message to Lan Cuifu.
Lan Cuifu had already returned to Lingquan City by now, very worried about Yulia before she left.
After all, Yulia is Blue Star’s most powerful engraver, drawing the attention of countless individuals. If she died or lost all her strength because of this, the blame would certainly fall on Lan Cuifu, who performed the surgery, risking the loss of her job.
Even so, Lan Cuifu willingly came to assist Wu Zechuan.
Now that Yulia has recondensed the imprint without using nanomachines but instead employing sitting meditation and ancient methods, using her willpower to guide nerve growth and form the imprint within her body.
After hearing this news, Lan Cuifu could finally relax a bit.
After informing his fiancée of the news, Wu Zechuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling streetscape, his reflection in the glass showing a fluctuation of moods.
It turns out that Blue Star can now support engravers using ’ancient methods’ for practice, without relying on the power of nanomachines.
Yulia successfully restored her first imprint, and who knows if she can restore all her imprints afterward.
Wu Zechuan has realized that the ’Imprint Interference Device’ doesn’t interfere with magic power but disrupts the operation of nanomachines within engravers, preventing them from activating their imprints.
Imprints constructed with nanomachines have hidden dangers, meaning that if the United Government wanted to deal with engravers, it would be very easy.
However, after extracting nanomachines from the body, there is a vacuum period for personal strength...
Wu Zechuan fell into contemplation, thinking about learning from Yulia and extracting nanomachines from his body, considering the plan to use ancient methods to practice engraving.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Zechuan made his decision.
He decided not to extract the nanomachines from his body for the short term, because although they have hidden dangers, they are undoubtedly convenient.
Moreover, he is now in the Second Rank, needing disaster-level demon hunting or acquiring spirituality from the Master of the Abyss to grow...
"No, that’s not right!"
Wu Zechuan suddenly remembered something.
After Sasa returned, she told him that their souls actually have growth potential.
Perhaps if they practice according to ancient methods, it can drive the growth of soul capacity without needing to hunt disaster-level demons or acquire spirituality from the Master of the Abyss.
This is merely Sasa’s own conjecture, yet the foundation of this conjecture is obtained from the knowledge in Elf Race texts.
Currently, Wu Zechuan is the president of the Scarlet No. 2 Hunter’s Guild; it’s not easy for him to leave, with limited opportunities to hunt disaster-level demons or the Master of the Abyss.
If that’s the case, practicing according to ancient methods, using meditation to increase one’s spirituality, seems more fitting.
Upon thinking this, Wu Zechuan made a decision.
"Cuifu, do you have time? Arrange a surgery to extract an imprint for me."
Wu Zechuan made a phone call to his fiancée, hoping she could help arrange an imprint extraction surgery.
Lan Cuifu need not perform the surgery herself; it’s adequate if other doctors undertake it.
Wu Zechuan has also consumed Saint’s Blood and marrow; referencing Yulia’s recovery speed, he estimated he might only need around ten days to restore his first imprint.
Lan Cuifu did not immediately agree to Wu Zechuan’s request, instead gradually softening under his gentle persuasion, eventually consenting.
After finishing the call, Wu Zechuan began arranging the subsequent work.
Since he planned to be away for at least ten days, enough time for extensive work to pile up, he must make some preparations in advance to minimize his workload upon return.
Simultaneously, Wu Zechuan shared the information with everyone around him.
Chen Shan, You Yifeng, and others all learned about the ’Ancient Method for Imprints’, plunging them into contemplation.
They are all on the brink of becoming Second Rank; is undertaking imprint extraction surgery during this period wasteful?
