Chapter 405: Blessing for All (Part 2)
And the SR Quasi-Elephant King is an outstanding figure emerging from thousands of Elephant Levels.
"If our positions were switched, you would be trampled under my feet!"
Rui Jun roared deeply, with a commanding presence like Athena, the goddess of victory, stepping over the corpses of his opponents to advance to the second round.
He seemed refined and elegant, his appearance beautiful, but once in battle, he became fiercely aggressive.
At the moment, flames engulfed his whole body, and a blazing white aura shot into the sky.
He was called Jade Qilin, referring to his beauty, but in reality, he was a wild raging fire.
As a former supernova, he, like Tai Sui, was once pursued relentlessly with no escape.
Fighting his way to become a Quasi-Elephant King, he defeated numerous Hidden Dragons and even Sub-dragons, eventually compromising with a patron to survive.
One could say that the Quasi-Elephant Kings are the most awkward group on the island, neither here nor there.
Brilliantly talented, yet unable to become the ruling class, doomed to bow before the Dragon Level.
Like Yamaguchi Yoshio, who, relying on his bloodline, is sooner or later bound to become a True Dragon, making it unattainable for Quasi-Elephant Kings who struggle their entire lives seeking progress.
Such resentment and despair were originally unbreakable iron laws.
But it was Tai Sui who shattered this iron rule, completely igniting the stunning talents of the Quasi-Elephant Kings.
"This might be the fiercest Elephant King Conference ever." Gao Xin sighed.
Quinn said beside him, "No need to worry, it is indeed the fiercest edition."
"Tai Sui, you've ignited a flame."
Gao Xin's lips curled up, "There have always been flames in the world, omnipresent."
His existence elevated this Elephant King Conference, with self-determined rewards, making it seem as though he was the host.
Who says only the champion wins it all? The official tournament system is too dull, countless people can only accompany the race.
Such situations not only occur in-game but are even more evident outside the game, fostering the island's culture of extremity, madness, and violence.
Gao Xin could only do his best, making changes step by step.
Quinn looked at him, "Do you want to be God?"
Gao Xin said calmly, "Humans are originally Gods."
Quinn smiled, "Why do you always seriously say such jokes?"
Gao Xin solemnly said, "This is no joke; humans evolved from God, but we've forgotten that, only to look back and think of God as unreachable."
Quinn was speechless, not knowing what he was talking about.
Gao Xin became somber; having divinity, demon nature, and humanity, his understanding of life became more profound.
Initially, he believed humans and all living beings were tools created by the Great Holy Spirit, split from Him.
But now he discovered it wasn't so; humans are the Great Holy Spirit. They were merely divided into multiple parts to experience different lives.
All the divine capabilities of the Great Holy Spirit were created by humans, just aggregated there.
The initial universe was dead and hollow; the Great Holy Spirit was just an object, akin to a 'celestial body' of a higher dimension, meaningless until She mutated, evolving movement instincts to descend into three-dimensional reality.
Thus, She evolved from God to countless individuals.
Yes, it is a form of evolution because a soul was born, creating more settings and natural phenomena, growing ever richer, more lively, and unpredictable.
If one sees all living beings and the Great Holy Spirit as a whole, then before the birth of the Rain of Rebirth, everything was hollow and monotonous, as simple as a unicellular organism.
Now, however, it has become a multicellular organism, endowed with meaning of existence.
The emergence of humankind holds immense significance for the entire universe, equivalent to the birth of the universe itself.
Just unsure if aliens exist; Gao Xin has not yet observed any high-dimensional information about extraterrestrial life.
Where are the aliens? Gao Xin's current confusion is just like Fermi's.
Forget it, he can't even leave the island, what's the point of worrying about aliens.
"Next match, Leo versus Tai Sui."
After ten hours, it's Tai Sui's turn again.
He stood up, his massive physique darkening the field with his shadow as he stepped in!
Seated with crossed legs, his lower half resembled aged tree roots, transforming into a plant, visibly growing.
Leo from Milan State was shocked, "Demon Tree Transformation? Tai Sui... are you personally going to fight me?"
He had heard of the legend of Demon Tree Transformation, thinking Tai Sui was preparing a grand attack to obliterate him.
However, Gao Xin only transformed his lower half into a tree, at the moment appearing as a giant tree-man, half silhouette forest array.
This was his limit for maintaining human plantification; any more, and his instinct would suppress his self.
Thanks to the boost from plantification, Gao Xin silently cultivated, developing over a dozen hours, reaching a weight of 800 tons and a height of 18 meters.
This development speed was startling.
Wan Kai took four days to reach this level using a plant form.
While Gao Xin managed it in only a dozen hours.
As his Heart Power grew stronger, and with his digestion reaching True Dragon, the effects of imaginative training were becoming increasingly terrifying.
Moreover, as his body grew larger, the base for growth expanded as well; with unrestricted material intake, his body mass increased by approximately twenty percent each hour.
This efficiency was terrifying; if he converted non-stop for 24 hours, within another day, he could reach a body mass of 63,000 tons.
In two more days, he could reach a body mass of 5 million tons, exponential growth!
Of course, he couldn't forgo sleep as it would exhaust his Heart Power and melt his mind.
So, discounting eight hours of sleep a day, he needed three continuous days of intensive development to succeed.
Five million tons was his baseline; it would be best to break 10 million tons, but such free development opportunities were rare, and he had to strive to make the match last longer.
Yet, the Elephant King Conference had too small a scale and fiercely contested, with over a hundred people finishing in ten hours; the rounds of 32, 16, and 8 would only get faster.
Basically, everything would finish in a day.
So Gao Xin stared at Leo, "No need to be afraid; I will stay rooted here to plant a tree."
Gao Xin's body extended with branches, sprouting numerous blood-colored crystals, roughly dozens of them.
Then he plucked a section and planted it into the ground.
The crowd was puzzled, and Leo asked, "What does it mean?"
Gao Xin said calmly, "As a return for collectively eliminating all SSRs, in all upcoming duels, as long as neither party uses any modules, the victor will be free to take a share of Taixui Blood from the field."
Upon hearing this, the audience was in an uproar.
Wow, the rules have been upgraded!
Even those who didn't draw Tai Sui could get Taixui Blood.
The condition was that neither side uses any modules.
That's feasible, mere competition of physical combat and biological fields!
Modules created differences, some had special modules, or serendipitously had SSR modules.
Now, they're all prohibited, moving to pure technical duels.
Leo's golden hair fluttered, his eyebrows were full of excitement, "Wonderful, Tai Sui!"
At once, with a Quasi-Elephant King's mentality, he thought it was truly a great thing.
But then his expression slightly changed, "Wouldn't it be even tougher for me? I have to defeat your three doubles..."
Gao Xin frowned, "But you have the opportunity to gain Legendary Battle Technique and Super Boundary Technique, transforming into a dragon with a legendary presence, potentially becoming a T1 Quasi-Dragon King in the future."
"Do you not even have that bit of belief? Then it would be better to surrender early."
"No!" Leo's gaze became fierce.
He focused, "Understood, Tai Sui, thank you for the opportunity."
"I will give it my all, to win everything."
Gao Xin smiled, "So, who do you want to fight?"
...
