Chapter 3430 Ionizing Radiation
The law of conservation of matter and energy runs through billions of planes in the star realm.
Spellcasters regard the rules of balance as the most basic rules of the star realm.
This is the basis of the astral realm, and without the rules of balance, the astral realm would cease to exist.
Including ninth-level creatures, they have no ability to break the balance.
All most living things can do is adapt to balance.
What the spellcasters in the wizarding world pursue is to master balance.
It is impossible for the gray reptile creature to push its passive evolution to that level out of thin air. If you get something, you will naturally have to give it.
Lilith guessed that the fact that this guy could reach this point in just over 600 years was not only due to the fact that it consumed a lot of lifespan and life source, but also related to the 'food' and other energy substances it absorbed in this world.
With this spirit of exploration and decryption, Lilith hopes that Locke can take her to see outside the surface.
Based on Locke's mental temperament, he would rather go out after another half month until it is completely safe.
But then he thought about it, even a fifth-level creature like Gege Skull had the guts to go out, so there was no reason for him to be afraid.
Moreover, I and others still don’t know how long they will stay and survive in this world in the future. Knowing more about this world will also help their next plan.
...
Beyond the surface.
When Locke walked out of the underground crack, what appeared in front of him was a vast, lonely and declining world filled with gray and yellow sand.
He finally understood why the Hungry Wasteland looked like a cracked land. The environmental status of the Hungry Wasteland was inseparable from the horrific storm that had just ended.
It is strange to say that the energy elements in the Land of Despair are obviously extremely low, and there is always a pull on the power of elements in the air, but how can such a terrifying energy storm be generated.
And this doubt is also one of the main problems that Locke, Lilith and others will solve when they live in this world. (first published by Zongheng)
Translucent shadows of light appeared in some deep trench areas after the storm left. Because the soil in the Land of Despair is extremely hard, there are not many deep trenches and depressions.
These translucent shimmering shadows were clearly one of the regular phenomena left behind after the energy storm left just now. They were still filled with extremely strong chaotic elemental particles, but this guy Gegeguan ran over excitedly.
Not caring that there were Locke and others watching nearby, after arriving near the dim shadows, Gegeguan jumped directly into them and lay down on the ground, letting the dim light shine on its skin as much as possible.
Under the dim light, the skin on Gegeguan's body actually showed a touch of silvery gray with a metallic color.
A series of tiny blue veins appeared faintly in the subcutaneous tissue of the skull, and the unbearable look of pain on this guy's face at this time was simply two extremes from its previous excited expression.
"What is he doing?" Locke asked curiously.
As a sixth-level peak knight who has also reached a very high level of achievement in the field of passive evolution, Locke could see that the guy Gegegulan seemed to be undergoing some kind of physical strengthening process, but this strange practice was something he had never heard of before.
"It is absorbing the remaining elemental particles after the storm left." Lilith said with a solemn expression.
"No wonder the elemental concentration in this world is so low, but it can still maintain the fifth level of life for a creature like Grigon."
The evolution of living things is often inseparable from the dual effects of matter and energy.
Including knights like Locke, they need a lot of fighting spirit energy to supplement when they advance.
And elemental life forms like the Purple Diamond King, even though their bodies are frighteningly hard, they cannot lack the nourishment of energy elements.
If there is not enough energy, the creatures living in this desolate world will eventually be forcibly downgraded like Lilith and Phantom Reel.
Perhaps these downgrades are temporary in the short term.
But if the energy cannot be replenished for a long time, the downgrade and life level drop will be irreversible!
Although this method of directly absorbing the remaining elemental particles of the storm is extremely dangerous in Lilith's opinion, a weak spellcaster like her must not copy it.
But if they are physically strong creatures that mainly rely on passive evolution, it is a good way for them to replenish their body's energy.
The Grid Skull absorbs the remaining energy element particles very quickly. After all, its physique is extremely abnormal, and it is enough to cause injury to ordinary fifth-level creatures. It was a shimmering shadow, but it finally gritted its teeth and persisted.
What troubles Gegeguan is not that it can't absorb it, but that there isn't much time left for it to absorb it.
This gray world also has a strong attraction for energy element particles. According to Gu Gegeguan himself, the remaining element particles and regular phenomena after these storms leave will only last for half a month at most.
Half a month later, this area will turn into the low-demon, barren world that Locke and others were exposed to before.
A large-scale energy storm like this would only occur every two to three years in the Hungry Wasteland.
If you miss this time, Gegeguan will have to wait three years.
During this period, Gege Skull, whose energy cannot be adequately replenished, is likely to become 'prey' in the eyes of other struggling survivors in the hungry wasteland.
Locke's actions of absorbing energy were seen by Locke, and he understood why the cortical tissue of this gray reptile was so hard.
Wizarding World
In the world of knight circles, there are also some methods of stimulating the evolution of skin and flesh by applying potions or external blows.
But those methods pale in comparison to the methods of Ge Geguan in front of him.
After all, the residual elemental particles of the energy storm endured by Gegeguan at this time can have a great destructive effect on the bodies of ordinary fifth-level creatures.
Locke can fully imagine that when the skeleton first began to absorb these free energies hundreds of years ago, the process would be accompanied by pain from the skin to the flesh and even the annihilation of the bones.
"Do you want to try this passive evolution method?" Lilith suddenly asked Locke beside her.
Before Locke could reply, Lilith said to herself, "If my calculations are correct, the passive evolution efficiency of Grid Skull has reached between 20 and 30 times the normal efficiency."
"And I am confident that I can improve this process, which may allow you to achieve 50 times the efficiency of normal passive evolution." Lilith said with a strange light in her eyes.
"Uh..." Faced with Lilith's proposal, Locke didn't know how to answer for a while.
It was also at this time that there was a new movement on the side of Grid Calvary, as if it had discovered the so-called 'food'.
--------------------------
There are only three updates today. On the one hand, I am tired, and on the other hand, I am slightly stuck.
I plan to calm down and write about this world in detail, because after this world comes out, Locke will be almost level seven, and he will be in unparalleled mode.
I also talked with a few veterans in the leader group yesterday. I don’t plan to write more after level 7, because Locke is already invincible by that time and there is really no story to write, so now is the time to elaborate.
Of course, the protagonist will reach level 9, there is no doubt about it. Our goal is to finish the book around October to December 2021. Of course, it may be earlier. We can’t wait until 2022...
