Chapter 282 Peeking into the God-level, the Myriad Crystal Cores Forcefully Accelerate the Grainizat
The space of spiritual energy was shrouded in a hazy grayness and was completely silent.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the Enlightenment Tree that had just "revived".
The withered branch that had been as dry as a burning stick had completely disappeared.
Instead, a small sapling about one meter tall, its entire body a vibrant emerald green, has been planted.
It has only nine leaves, but each leaf is covered with pale golden veins, as if they were a manifestation of some kind of universal truth.
Just standing here, Lu Sheng felt his mental energy, which had become somewhat agitated due to the violent breakthrough, being soothed by a pair of gentle hands, and his thoughts were processed at an astonishing speed.
"nice one."
Lu Sheng sighed in admiration.
With a slight thought, a deep blue data panel unfolded on his retina, directly locking onto the detailed attribute section of the Enlightenment Tree.
Previously, because I was in a near-death state, a lot of information was in the form of question marks.
Now that it's alive, it's time to reveal its hand.
[Target: Divine-level Spiritual Plant - Enlightenment Tree (Seedling Stage)]
[Status: Healthy (100% Active)]
[Current bonus: Within a 10-meter radius, Comprehension is increased by 300%, and Law Affinity is increased by 200%.]
[Special Output: Enlightenment Fruit]
[Note: This is a spiritual root of heaven and earth, blooming once every three thousand years and bearing fruit once every three thousand years. After consuming the Enlightenment Fruit, mortal-level talent can directly advance to heavenly-level; heavenly-level talent can directly advance to saintly-level; saintly-level talent can directly advance to godly-level!]
[Hidden Entry: If consumed by a god-level individual, it grants access to the realm of a super god!]
Lu Sheng's pupils shrank to pinpoints in that instant.
Breathing has stopped.
My heart felt like it had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, skipping a beat.
God-level?
These three words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the fog of his understanding.
In this world, the god-level sequence is the pinnacle of the pyramid, the end point of human evolution.
Whether it's the Dao Child of Kunlun, the Saintess of Penglai, or the Dragon God sequence within him, they are all confined within this "god-level" framework.
But now, this tree is telling him that there is a path beyond the level of gods!
"Forbidden Zone..."
Lu Sheng licked his dry lips, and the ambition that had been suppressed in his eyes suddenly grew wildly like a wildfire.
If the previous efforts to become stronger were for survival, to avoid being trampled underfoot...
Now, the goal has changed.
He wants to be the god who sets the rules!
"System," Lu Sheng's voice was deep, tinged with barely suppressed fervor, "How can I get this thing to finish?"
"Don't tell me about flowers taking three thousand years to bloom and fruits taking three thousand years to bear fruit. I can't wait that long. Even if I could, those monsters outside wouldn't give me that time."
[Ding! Host request detected.]
The Enlightenment Tree has an extremely long growth cycle, but it can be "accelerated" by irrigating it with high-purity energy.
Current stage: Seedling stage.
[Advanced Requirements: 100 Top-Tier Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
[Note: Only when a plant advances to the "growth stage (adulthood)" can it develop flower buds; only when it advances to the "mature stage" can it bear fruit.]
"One hundred top-tier crystal cores..."
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and immediately turned his gaze to the corner of the storage space.
There were piles of colorful crystal cores piled up like small mountains, which were all the wealth he had accumulated on the battlefield of the East China Sea.
They seem to be incredibly wealthy.
But Lu Sheng knew very well how much of that was exaggerated.
With a wave of his hand, the data count was completed instantly.
[Top-tier Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 25]
Lu Sheng smacked his lips, looking disgusted.
"Only 25?"
"The sea monsters in the East China Sea are so poor! They killed so many level 8 drowned beings, and this is all they got?"
"But it's not a big problem."
He looked at the mountain of low-level crystal cores in his storage space, a cruel and greedy smile curving his lips.
"Since we don't have enough top-tier spirit source crystal cores, we'll make up for it with quantity."
"System, open the [Forge of All Things]."
[Ding! The furnace has been activated!]
Lu Sheng's gaze passed over the pitiful 25 top-level crystal cores and locked onto the pile of high-level crystal cores that were radiating a dazzling purple light.
[Advanced Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 15000]
This is a huge sum of money, enough to buy a small city.
But in Lu Sheng's eyes, they were just fuel.
"Smelt it all."
Lu Sheng instructed the system, "Synthesize a top-tier crystal core for me!"
[Ding! 15000 high-grade spirit source crystals have been consumed to synthesize a top-grade spirit source crystal. Confirm?]
"confirm!"
Buzz—!
Within the Spirit Source Space, a thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground.
The small mountain, composed of 15,000 high-grade crystal cores, collapsed instantly.
Countless purple streams of light were drawn into an invisible vortex, where they were compressed, collapsed, and transformed.
The light was dazzling, almost illuminating the entire dark space.
The thrill of wealth evaporating in an instant made the dragon blood in Lu Sheng's body boil.
A few seconds later, the light faded.
The small hill that once stood there has disappeared.
Instead, there are 150 deep, star-like crystals suspended in mid-air.
Each crystal seemed to contain a small energy storm.
Synthesis successful! Obtained 150 top-tier Spirit Source Crystal Cores!
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed, and the crystal cores flew into his palm like obedient fish.
Including the original 25, he now has a total of 175 top-tier crystal cores!
enough.
"eat!"
Lu Sheng didn't hesitate at all, and was even too lazy to feed him the pills one by one.
With a wave of his hand, a hundred top-tier crystal cores, like a lavish meteor shower, crashed directly into the roots of the Enlightenment Tree.
boom!!!
The moment the crystal core touched the soil, an outrageously powerful torrent of energy erupted.
The Enlightenment Tree trembled violently, emitting a joyful hum that sounded like a child's cheer.
A verdant light shot into the sky, piercing directly through the dome-shaped mist of the Spirit Source Space.
Click!Click!
That's the sound of growth.
Under Lu Sheng's watchful gaze, the sapling, which was originally only one meter tall, grew wildly as if it had taken hormones.
One and a half meters... two meters... three meters!
The trunk, which was originally only as thick as a baby's arm, quickly expanded to the thickness of a thigh, and the bark showed an ancient dragon scale pattern.
New branches sprout and tender leaves unfurl.
The nine leaves became eighty-one, and the golden veins on each leaf became clearer and more intricate, as if miniature arrays were operating on their own.
[Ding! Advancement successful!]
The Enlightenment Tree has entered its growth stage (adulthood)!
[Current effect enhancement: Comprehension increased by 600%, Law Affinity increased by 400%!]
[New Feature Unlocked: Now Qualified to Nurture the "Enlightenment Bud"!]
A richer, more delicate fragrance wafted over.
Lu Sheng only took one breath, and he felt that the obscure and difficult-to-understand rules in his mind about the "metal and fire dual system" suddenly unlocked on their own.
"Six times the comprehension, four times the affability..."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
This isn't a tree! It's clearly a supercomputer hanging in its brain!
But he was not satisfied.
"It's already this strong during its growth stage, what will it be like when it reaches maturity..."
Lu Sheng looked at the system panel for the next stage of requirements.
[Advanced Requirements: 200 Top-Tier Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
"Two hundred?"
Lu Sheng glanced at the 75 crystal cores remaining in his hand.
125 more are needed.
The gap remains significant.
At this point, the advanced crystal cores had been exhausted, and the original inventory had also run out.
Lu Sheng turned around and his gaze fell on the last and largest pile of crystal cores in the corner of the storage space.
[Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 690000]
"It's just taking up space anyway."
Lu Sheng curled his lip, his expression as if he were looking at a pile of waste paper.
"If we're going to play, let's go big."
He raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air towards the towering crystal core mountain.
"System, don't hold back on me."
"Refine all 690,000 of these into top-grade spirit source crystal cores!"
"Whether it's secondary compression or tertiary purification, all I care about is the result!"
Rumble—!!!
This time, the commotion was a hundred times greater than before.
The entire spiritual space was trembling violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.
The simultaneous collapse of 690,000 crystal cores was an extremely spectacular sight.
A torrent of multicolored energy converged into a towering tornado, spinning wildly and emitting a teeth-grinding friction sound.
This is a true case of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
The numbers on the system panel were jumping wildly.
[Initial synthesis in progress... 69000 advanced crystal cores obtained!]
[Double extreme compression is in progress...]
The color of the energy tornado began to change from chaotic to pure, and finally turned into a deep, dark purple.
Lu Sheng stood in the eye of the storm, his clothes fluttering in the wind, but he did not retreat an inch.
He watched as those crystal nuclei melted, recombined, and sublimated under the high temperature and pressure of the All Things Furnace.
He was fascinated by the thrill of controlling and squandering everything.
A full five minutes passed.
The storm has subsided.
All the light was contained.
"Splash..."
A crisp and melodious sound rang out.
Six hundred and ninety top-grade spirit source crystal cores fell like a diamond rain, pattering down at Lu Sheng's feet and piling up into a small, pointed heap.
Adding to the 75 coins that were left over.
At this moment, Lu Sheng had a total of 765 top-tier crystal cores in his hands!
This is a number that would make even a Spirit King-level expert envious or even tempted to kill.
But Lu Sheng didn't even glance at it.
He bent down and, as if grabbing a handful of sand, directly picked up two hundred crystal cores.
His casual movements exuded a chilling arrogance.
"eat!"
"Keep growing!"
"Don't stop until it's fully mature!"
Lu Sheng let out a low roar and suddenly raised both hands.
Two hundred top-tier crystal cores transformed into streams of light and once again blasted into the Enlightenment Tree's body.
Buzz—!
This time, it's not about light.
It is sound waves.
A profound and resounding voice, like the grandest bell, resounded deep within Lu Sheng's soul.
The Enlightenment Tree stopped growing taller and began to grow horizontally.
The tree canopy, like a canopy, shaded this small patch of land.
The once emerald green leaves began to turn into a deep, dark green, while at the nodes of the branches, delicate, white flower buds were slowly peeking out.
Although the flower buds are small, they seem to be nurturing countless worlds.
[Ding! Advancement successful!]
The Enlightenment Tree has entered its mature stage!
The bud of enlightenment has taken shape!
[Only one step left to get the result!]
Lu Sheng looked at the swaying flower buds on the tree and exhaled a long breath.
He glanced at the remaining five hundred-plus top-tier crystal cores at his feet, then at the divine tree that was beginning to possess divine charm, and a grin spread from his lips to his ears.
"I wonder what this Enlightenment Fruit will taste like. I'm really looking forward to it..."
P.S.: Above the Dragon God - let's give it a more imposing title. Three chapters will be updated in three days. Brothers, please urge me to update more! I'll give you small gifts as a thank you.
