Era of the transmigrating earth

As the mission was submitted, Du You's body began to disintegrate into points of light. This was not him disappearing, but rather the process of Law Formalization beginning. The first step to entering the Derived World requires changing oneself into a spiritual particle state.

Only in this way can one enter other worlds. This is the foundation of Law Formalization.

Eons ago, humans first entered the Other World without having completed Law Formalization, they suffered tremendously. In that age without Law Formalization, very few of those who entered the Derived World managed to make it back alive.

As his vision became increasingly blurry, he finally made it. If the slaying of a giant toad wasn't considered a success, Du You didn't know what else could be.

What Du You didn't expect was that when his vision restored, he wasn't inside the World Boat. Instead, he saw a vast expanse before him, with multicolored lights shimmering in the sky.

"Where am I? Has something happened at school? That's impossible. Our school is very secure, I've never heard of monster or alien beast attacks. Where did the school's buildings and everyone else go?"

Du You, slightly confused about the situation, looked curiously at the sky.

In the sky, there were many flying beasts, oh no, there were also things that weren't birds floating around. They were of various sizes, scattered everywhere. On the ground, all that could be seen were small creatures.

These creatures, too, were multicolored, like creatures made of elements, but they all took the form of small animals or insects. Seeing Du You, they dispersed, as if they saw something they disliked. Their slow speed made it quite an annoying sight.

Du You almost couldn't resist intervening and helping them. At that moment, a panel appeared before his eyes.

Mission: Touch, touch any of the Element Creatures, and complete Law Formalization.

"What? Law Formalization again? What does that mean? Could it be that Law Formalization must be performed twice?"

Du You was utterly baffled. He himself didn't know what was going on. In reality, at that moment, on the World Boat that Du You was using, the surrounding spiritual particles spinning at high speed suddenly paused in a strange manner.

Then, the light ring continued to rotate, with nobody noticing the change. Inside the World Boat, Du You's body began to radiate light, the light of Law Formalization starting up.

However, Du You was still in the Derived World, but not the one he was in before.

"I've never heard of anyone being able to go through Law Formalization twice. If there wasn't some kind of mishap I wasn't aware of, then there's only one explanation—my soul, which hasn't completely merged."

It reminded Du You of the soul in his Sea of Consciousness, which hadn't fully merged, with only half of the merging process done. His soul currently resembled a two-headed monster. Perhaps he'd been treated as two separate people by the World Boat . He didn't know whether this was good or bad. But since he was at this point, he had to continue on.

"Regardless, I've already gone all out. Even if I fail this time, it shouldn't matter."

Du You scrutinized the mission carefully and observed his surroundings. "This kind of touch mission is quite rare. Usually, whatever is touched first, it just forcibly accepts, giving no chance for regret. This is completely different from the hunting mission. Judging from the situation here, the bigger the creature, the better."

Looking around, almost all of the creatures on the ground were rather small, whereas the ones flying high in the sky were larger and more majestic. In the faraway skies, Du You saw several very distinct silhouettes.

These silhouettes seemed very similar to legendary creatures. But Du You knew these were not real creatures, they were Element Creatures. He didn't know why they had morphed into those shapes.

His practice and vision were simply insufficient. For now, he had no choice but to follow the flow.

"The best creatures here aren't many in number, and to get the best ones, I'd have to fly in the sky. Even having a bow and arrow wouldn't be enough. No wonder the majority of people give up on this type of world. It's way too hard to become an Awakener."

To achieve this, one would probably need to jump several meters to even be able to touch those relatively decent Element Creatures.

It's unknown if this place is of the Elemental Class or Magic-class or perhaps some type of Summoning Class?

"Hold on, I seem to have forgotten something." Du You suddenly brightened up. He remembered something. He had just completed a mission where he beat down an almost impossible to slay giant toad.

He didn't know how much potential Du You had, but he did pick up a universal basic skill.

"Great, a universal basic skill. I wonder if it can be used here. If it's possible, maybe I can do something. Like, having my Summoned Beast to help me capture a suitable creature."

Gazing at places several to dozens meters high up in the sky where the various creatures were flitting about, Du You seemed to see hope.

Du You had a premonition that if he gave up this time, he'd undoubtedly regret it. He wouldn't get a second chance to undergo Law Formalization again. Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity. Even if he had another chance in the future, once his soul completely merges, would this opportunity still exist? The answer was probably negative.

Du You had a thought and began to trigger his skill. Raising his hands, a streak of white light started swirling between his fingers. His hands also began to move in a strange rhythm. It seemed like he was painting something.

"This damn skill, not only is the cooldown long, but the preparation time is also lengthy. Is it meant to be summoned in advance and then used in battle?" This skill seemed utterly impractical.

While complaining, Du You didn't stop his hand movements. This was a skill acknowledged by the panel, the skill would automatically run even if he got distracted. Without interruption, failure in casting the skill was impossible.

At this moment, nobody could possibly interrupt him. Du You kept moving his hands, and a highly complex Magic Array appeared in front of him. With the emergence of this Magic Array, Du You breathed a sigh of relief.

He could use universal skills in this place. So, it was time to test his luck.

"Depending on the luck I have accrued over the years due to my good deeds, like helping old ladies without fear of being tricked, relying on the charm I brought as an otherworlder, let my luck explode!" Du You shouted loudly, then glancing around nervously. "Good, good, no one saw my silly expression." Du You muttered to himself.
