It feels like I've had a very long, long dream.
His consciousness was drifting sowhat drowsily, and the world in the dream seed to be one completely unrelated to him. It didn't feel like he was dreaming; it felt more like he had accidentally entered so sort of dreamscape—
Unable to distinguish up from down.
Not knowing where the end is.
Suddenly, he found himself seemingly drifting in a night with no atmosphere. In the extre distance was a star emitting light and heat. Then, as if drawn by sothing, he instinctively looked downward at the familiar, beautiful planet radiating a blue luminescence.
A dull echo was coming from deep within the Earth.
Then, he distinctly saw... the mory of the planet.
From the formation and evolution of celestial bodies, it was like a whirlwind history of billions of years swept past him, with myriad forms and complexities; he could not understand this torrent of history rolling like roaring waves, as though he rembered sothing and yet rembered nothing.
And in this dream, he couldn't think, as if his thoughts were frozen.
In feeling, it seed to have been an extrely long ti, or perhaps only a few brief monts, when another peculiar gravitational pull appeared, drawing his consciousness and causing his perception to soar, skimming through the night devoid of atmosphere.
The azure beautiful planet rapidly receded, while another celestial body appeared in the pitch-black void of space, quickly revealing its form.
Silent, ethereal, and ancient...
Yet possessed an indescribable mystery.
The so-called moon, in this world, was not rely Earth's natural satellite, but had quite a special significance of its own.
......
...
The iridescent glow finally dissipated completely; the high-purity magic power crystal known as the Holy Grail completed its mission.
Unlike the previous usage by Gilgash, employing the Holy Grail's power to summon a Servant to counter Demon Beasts and protect Uruk or similar actions... Such usage barely tapped into the Grail's magic power, akin to scraping the surface.
However, now it was precisely commanded by its holder to fulfill a wish.
So, this magic power crystal naturally exhausted itself in this process.
Amidst the afterglow of the iridescent rays completely fading, the person suspended in mid-air slowly descended to the ground while gradually opening their eyes, their long hair cascading down like a waterfall, draping over the cyan Daoist robe. Even in the dim cave, one could faintly discern its general outline.
Nothing seed to have changed, yet everything seed vastly different.
"..."
"..."
A silence enveloped the scene.
As his eyes opened and closed, it seed as though lunar radiance flowed within his bright pupils. Gu Mo, still appearing rather dazed, stood within the cave and slowly raised his hands to closely examine his palms.
It felt as if he had just awoken from a very long dream, where everything in the dream was blurry and indistinct, yet he could vaguely sense the grand perspective, like experiencing ti from a celestial vantage point... Though he hadn't retained much impression, he couldn't help but feel as if an eternity had passed.
While he hadn't forgotten everything, at this very mont upon awakening, there certainly was a sense of erging from a different era, although he quickly recalled events prior to his awakening concerning Uruk, the incineration of human history, the late Divine Era, etcetera, yet it always seed like those were mories from long, long ago.
Smoothing down those peculiar emotions bit by bit, Gu Mo gazed at his hands, carefully sensing his current body, which was the Undying Body, the Immortal Body that he had pursued.
A body like glass, clear inside and out, pure and without blemish.
It was no longer purely a flesh and blood body but entirely composed of the "True Ether" from the Fifth Truth elents, possessing a corporeal strength surpassing the material plane, yet without apparent weaknesses or vital points. Regardless of the injury inflicted, as long as it wasn't utterly annihilated, the body could easily be reconstructed.
Unlike the previous sense of discord, there seed to be no significant barrier between the spirit and the flesh now. A strong soul nourished the physical body while the robust body shielded the soul, and the ntal wavelength seed to perate every cell, ensuring absolute command over the body.
Never had it felt so good...
Moreover, the darkness surging around in the dim cave, as well as his mastery over the Power of Lies, seed to beco incredibly smooth and effortless, as though controlling them as naturally as moving one's arm or finger.
Gently clenching his fist, Gu Mo closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the solid feeling of the earth beneath his feet. He discovered that he could still sense the planet's vibrant vitality and perceive distant auras through the earth.
Because he had transford into an Immortal Body in this world and referenced the living samples like Akai Hinako as a Fusang Tree Spirit Elf Species, he now considered himself a natural extension of an elf. Could his perception spread further through the touch of nature?
Such a thought flashed in his mind, and Gu Mo squinted his eyes.
At this mont, the world in his eyes was entirely different. His basic sensory perceptions such as vision and hearing had been greatly enhanced, allowing him to directly perceive light waves, magnetic fields, heat... His sensory abilities seed to have undergone so qualitative leap, as if he had many more forms of perception compared to ordinary people.
This was the most direct change he had experienced since awakening.
Gently stretching his arms, the newly reborn immortal released the restraint on the body's instincts, which he had subconsciously held out of caution since waking up.
In an instant, it was as if a vacuum suddenly appeared here. The dense and pure magic power in the air from the Divine Era rushed towards this huge vortex, like a mighty whale drinking water, gathering into a stream and flowing in the sa direction.
He could endlessly absorb magic power from the outside world, sharing energy with the entire natural world. The capacity of his newly transford True Body to accommodate magic far surpassed that of his previous human body. The mont he released the restraint, such a scene unfolded.
If he only had the characteristics of Akai Hinako, there would be no need to store magic power within himself. However, he referenced more than just Akai Hinako.
By the way, the Demonic Power had already disappeared—
Or rather, it had completely transford into another kind of special energy with his transformation, no longer bearing the previous nature of Demonic Power. Gu Mo was also ntally prepared for this change; after all, the appearance of Demonic Power originally resulted from his repeated deep Demonized states.
A normal human body would not generate Demonic Power; repeated Demonizations gradually inclined his constitution towards demonic bloodlines. Now that he had undergone Mortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension, refining a True Body, his genes and bloodline had been thoroughly purified. Such a result was unsurprising.
The majestic magic power flowed from the Great Source of the outside world. His entire body was like an extrely efficient conversion circuit, with even each strand of hair seemingly turned into so-called magic circuits, rapidly absorbing the Great Source outside, and then...
Converting it into the form of energy that fitted his nature most and was most convenient to use.
Despite the greatly increased capacity of his body, the magic environnt of the Divine Era was indeed too intense, so the efficiency was not slow. In just a short ti, everything gradually returned to tranquility. Gu Mo opened his eyes and felt an unprecedented power within himself.
Beyond the physical layer of bodily strength, self-regeneration ability as a True Person of the Immortal Realm...
The ability to endlessly absorb magic power from the outside world, perception and detection capabilities unimaginable to humans...
And the true mastery of the Power of Authority, able to wield it as easily as if commanding one's own arm, without the previous sluggishness...
And so on.
These are the changes and extraordinary traits brought by his current True Body. There are also many hidden changes and extraordinary traits that cannot be sensed imdiately. Gu Mo had an instinctual, intuitive feeling that this was the case.
He gently stretched out his hand, his fingertips pointed at the air in front, and waves, like ripples in water, spread outward from that point, causing the air to ripple like it was in water.
Then, his silhouette and appearance were clearly reflected.
Nimbly opening the system panel, selecting the upgrade page, Gu Mo saw at a glance "Life Level-LV15", "Professional Level-LV5", adding up to a total level of 20, unchanged from before the transformation, but the entire attribute panel had many changes.
As previously speculated, bloodline enhancent was also a rapid way to increase ability points.
Although he was not undergoing bloodline enhancent now, the essential transformation of life form was no different. According to this world's understanding, this body had beco the so-called pinnacle of human existence. This kind of transformation was akin to a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, bringing not only extraordinary traits but also necessarily enhancing core ability values across the board.
——Power 18, Agility 18, Constitution 20, Intelligence 18, Spirit 25, Perception 18.
This was his current basic attribute panel, and these were all real ability values. Besides the Spiritual Attribute Value, which had no additional enhancent, all other basic attributes had significantly strengthened, with Constitution reaching exactly 20 points.
The Four Souls Fragnt he equipped had been removed and fused with the small piece of jade Kikyo held, so now its enhancent to Physical Strength triads was unavailable.
But what about the "all attributes 1" effect from the White Viper Aura?
Gu Mo found that his attribute panel only displayed real values. Frowning, he opened the Guardian Spirit page, where the first option was the illustration of a fox-eared girl, changed from a Nine-tailed Demon Fox to this form, and the second option was a giant White Snake God's illustration.
He clicked into the second one and opened the equipnt page.
He found that the "all attributes 1" trait from that dried persimmon had lost its effect on him. According to the explanation in the annotation, it was because one of his basic attribute's real values had reached 25 points, and so the trait could no longer be effective unless the quality of the equipnt was improved.
Does this an there are limits to this as well??
However, thinking carefully, it also seems reasonable.
