Chapter 430: Scheming and Infighting Before Anything Else
"The concept of the sun cannot be downgraded into solar energy, perhaps due to cross-dimensional reasons; at least I must go to the so-called Demon Realm to achieve it."
"The concept of the moon, downgraded into lunar energy..."
Gu Shanhai looked at this primal lunar energy with a hint of helplessness in his expression; he couldn't use it effectively, and it was extremely resistant to him.
The reason was incompatibility.
This thing only accepted young, beautiful women with good looks. Yes, it was a strict requirement, not subject to change.
It was almost embedded in the base logic.
Gu Shanhai suspected that the universe of the Moon Star Girl might not only be connected to the universe of the sun concept but also have intersections with universes related to concepts such as women and beauty; otherwise, how could such a strange thing exist?
"Luckily, I don't plan to fuse it directly, but use it as a flower; otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss?"
The resistance of the primal lunar energy didn't bother him; once inside him, no matter how much resistance there was, it wouldn't rebel. By then, using primal spiritual energy and primal ghost energy to suppress it would suffice.
"But speaking of which, how can primal lunar energy be enhanced, by moonlight?" Gu Shanhai looked up at the sky; the satellite of this planet had long been dismantled, so there was no moon."
The primal ghost energy and primal spiritual energy could provide him with secondary breath through virtual reality and digital life technology, a small but continuous supply.
But he really didn't have many ideas on how to enhance primal lunar energy.
"I have to find a way to transform it."
Theoretically, ghost energy, spiritual energy, and lunar energy, these three special downgraded energies had been cultivated by him into the same entity, thus allowing the transformation of ghost energy and spiritual energy into lunar energy to promote the growth of primal lunar energy.
"If there were more, I might be able to become a complete world during the Magic Awakening Stage."
Gu Shanhai naturally wouldn't choose to cultivate a useless thing with resources for no reason; it had considerable benefits.
According to his estimates, with a few more concepts as stepping-stones, he wouldn't need to break through to the Peeping Dao Stage to truly become a world.
Originally thinking he'd have to wait for the next world, he unexpectedly encountered a world cluster, and that brought great profit.
As for what to do after the Peeping Dao Stage, that could be dealt with later.
Anyway, for Gu Shanhai, it's not the first time this realm has been overturned; next time, he would simply deduce another change to the Peeping Dao Stage without much concern.
"Life and death, sun and moon, if there were a star, or even gender, it would also be fine."
"Stars are probably lower, but the concepts of masculine and feminine are a bit higher."
The special standards formed by the primal lunar energy from the Moon Star Girl are likely related to the concept of femininity; he didn't have too many requirements regarding gender, mainly because these things are related and affected by each other; obtaining more would allow him to see more worlds.
"But with more worlds, I seem to develop decision-making difficulty."
Currently, for his breakthrough, he needs to devour two worlds as nutrients to avoid dying from malnutrition during his breakthrough; previously, he chose the cancer universe focused on life and death and the Navia Universe.
Now two more worlds have emerged, making him unsure of which is better to consume.
Of course, he was more inclined towards the original two, but the taste of the two other universes seemed slightly better, as they hadn't been disturbed by him.
"Forget it, I'll still consume the old ones; I'm a person who clings to nostalgia."
Gu Shanhai sighed.
"The issue of enhancing primal lunar energy shouldn't be a problem; after all, it's just a material."
Indeed, the Dao Fruit materials for Gu Shanhai's breakthrough to the Magic Awakening Stage turned into this Multi-Life Flower, but the creation of Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise didn't cease; in any case, only a part was used, not all."
"The data of the two companion spirits has been completed; only a little help is needed for them to be born."
Gu Shanhai's "little help" naturally referred to Emperor Navia and the Eternal Sleep Giant, who were themselves representatives of life and death."
The Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise were representatives of south and north, with Southern Dipper denoting life and Beidou denoting death; the help he mentioned referred to these two entities."
One must admit, they were truly unlucky; directly transitioning from breakthrough materials to spirit materials, it was clear plans couldn't keep up with changes."
"It's just about whether they've reached my expected standards."
Gu Shanhai wanted to harvest them but felt that given their constant attempts to tunnel through, they probably hadn't fully matured."
Not to mention the rest, had the Eternal Sleep Giant fully merged with all cancerous life forms? Had Emperor Navia progressed further?
If the materials weren't mature and he went for them now, even if Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise were born, they'd be premature and likely need unknown years of nurturing within the Nine States Instrument."
Although they could still be used, they wouldn't reach optimal efficiency or be fully released."
That would simply waste his time."
"This matter is not urgent; let them slowly tunnel, and I'll deal with it when they come through." Gu Shanhai ultimately chose not to proceed."
Instead, he focused on himself, recognizing that strengthening himself was essential; even if other worlds didn't offer ideal materials for Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, Gu Shanhai could substitute them with other materials; if necessary, he could deal with it when the others delivered themselves to him, anyway, he could raise premature Vermilion Birds and Black Tortoises."
