Chapter 47: Overflow and Condensation
Arriving at the Alchemy Laboratory, Su Xiao opened the sealed container. Wisps of darkness drifted out, revealing liquid Abyss Energy inside. He tossed the [Mad Laughing Mask] into it. To fully activate this item was simply this straightforward yet dangerous.
Approaching the mixing table, he attempted several concoctions, but still failed to complete the "Sky Secret Medicine." This was one of the several top-tier potion formulas he had obtained within the Golden Library. Among them, the difficulty of concocting the "Sky Secret Medicine" was the lowest, yet after repeated attempts, he still failed.
Aside from that, Su Xiao picked up an Absolute Strong Divine Soul on the mixing table. This item was called the "Lightning Divine Soul." It was the only one among the over twenty "Absolute Strong Divine Souls" he had obtained that had successfully undergone "Principle Regression." He had never tried "Principle Regression" on an Absolute Strong Divine Soul before. This thing would actually burst apart from being unable to withstand the process, transforming into Divine Nature Essence and returning to the Star Realm.
This was not without gains. Su Xiao's luck attribute actually increased. Fortunately, the increase was not significant. After all, his luck not only had a higher lower limit but also a higher upper limit. If his luck's upper limit increased, then its lower limit would become even lower.
Never underestimate this luck increase. Su Xiao had actually never had direct contact with the Star Realm. In his view, the entire Star Realm should not have anything like a "World Consciousness." The Star Realm should operate according to some fixed rules.
Allowing "Divine Nature Essence" to return to the Star Realm evidently triggered the feedback within these rules. Following this line of thought, using [God Hunter] to turn a contaminated Divine Soul into a "Primordial Divine Soul" and then selling it was clearly not the correct approach. Moreover, the price of Divine Souls was too absurd.
It was like the Three Sisters of the Cash Machine. After they obtained a Supreme Divine Soul, what they did was not dominate the battlefield but continue mining. While this indeed reflected their love for the infinite possibilities of ores, there was also a problem. Hao Mei had personally tested it. She found an Abyss-type creature between Absolute Strong and Supreme rank. The result was that Hao Mei, of the Sky Thunder system, indeed ran fast enough.
A simpler analogy would be a level 90 life-oriented player attempting a wild PK against a level 89 combat-oriented monster.
Of course, combat-type Divine Souls were an exception. Combat-type Divine Souls could still fight. The problem was that the inheritance prerequisites, which couldn't be finished reading on a single page, would make one cheerfully and without hesitation treat this item as a material rather than a professional inheritance item.
The system of Divine Souls was not limited to combat and functional types. After hearing about the Sea Grant God, Su Xiao would not be surprised by any strange Divine Soul that appeared. Because this Sea Grant God sounded quite impressive, but the problem was that its Divine Soul ability was to cook more delicious marine creatures, meaning making seafood taste better.
The divine system of the Star Realm was truly too wonderful and fantastical. Su Xiao mainly focused on Abyss Studies and Alchemy. Therefore, after determining that the divine system was a massive system, he decided to stop at a reasonable point. Moreover, he had already confirmed that his approach to the [God Hunter] title was very, very wrong, wrong to an absurd degree.
This thing was most likely the "Perfectly Matched God-Level Title" for divine system contractors. It could, by adjudicating those evil gods whose Divine Souls had been contaminated through generations of inheritance, purify one contaminated Divine Soul after another, perform "Primitive Regression," gradually perfect one's own "Divine Soul," and ultimately use this to develop one's own Divine Soul into one of the top-tier Divine Souls in the Star Realm.
Su Xiao's problems were:
