Master of Monster Synthesis

The light and dark energy in the palm of Qin Shou danced excitedly, transforming effortlessly according to his will, without the slightest strain.

Recalling the various experiences in his dream, Qin Shou felt that the Light and Dark River was far more than just a simple combination of light and dark energy.

Perhaps...

Qin Shou's eyes suddenly sparkled.

It's spiritual power!

Spiritual power is the key factor in controlling the transformation of light and dark energy.

The inability to control the two forces within his body at first had been due to insufficient spiritual strength.

After all, compared to Star Power or other types of talent energy, light and dark energy are far harder to wield.

Since the Light and Dark Elves combined with Constant Star Energy Crystals could create mysterious energy to aid his breakthrough...

The principle behind using High-level Monster to create breakthrough potions actually stemmed from the fact that these beings, with their advanced intelligence and superior brain development, provided sufficient spiritual power to leverage Constant Star Energy Crystals and form mysterious energy, thereby facilitating breakthroughs for humanity.

Hence, the true determinant of human growth potential lies in the strength of one's spiritual power!

Having understood all this, Qin Shou remembered Qin Long's words from before.

To develop spiritual power to some extent at the Vajra Realm stage hinted at the possibility of Earth producing its fifth Supreme Strong.

Yet, Leng Xinlan's "Sword Control Technique" was also an application of spiritual power, but the principal of the Mechanical Main City had not paid extra attention to Leng Xinlan.

The likely reason was that Leng Xinlan awakened this ability at the Unbreakable Realm, merely possessing the qualification to advance to the Demigod Realm.

Qualification was just that—qualification—it didn't necessarily represent a high likelihood of success.

Every year, Earth saw several seemingly spiritual-power-developing Unbreakable Realm experts emerge, yet none had successfully become Earth's fifth Supreme Strong.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Over time, no one harbored excessive hope anymore and simply took things as they came.

In an instant, Qin Shou thought of many things.

He had a very clear understanding of himself. Without external aids, he wouldn't even be able to break through the Unbreakable Realm—he might still be struggling in the Vajra Realm stage.

To break through to the Demigod Realm, the Light and Dark River was the most critical key.

No, Qin Shou's aim was not the Demigod Realm.

The Spine Gu had previously mentioned that Qin Long and others' breakthroughs to the Demigod Realm were acts of desperation, carrying too many drawbacks and possibly sacrificing future potential, halting their cultivation path at the Demigod Realm.

The real beginning was the God Realm!

Becoming a god!

At this moment, a mysterious figure of Elder Long inexplicably surfaced in Qin Shou's mind.

...

Time passed, and soon, the three-month deadline "arrived as promised."

At the peak of the Light Tower, an elderly man in a white robe held a Light Energy Crystal Stone, sensing the messages transmitted from within it, and his aged, serene face suddenly contorted into a sinister grin.

"Crack crack crack..."

The Light Energy Devouring Spine Gu crawled up the tall tower as the elder laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha, it's finally here! Relay my orders: mobilize all Giant Stone Statues and head to the deepest part of the Black Demon Sea in the Dark Country. Destroy the Void, interrupt the final experiment for the Perfect Spine-eating Gu!"

"Yes!"

The Light Energy Devouring Spine Gu's grotesque exoskeleton contracted instantly, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the sky.

The elder looked to the heavens and laughed, "The Perfect Spine-eating Gu, the Dark Giant Stone Statue—I will have them both!"

...

An hour later.

Black Demon Sea.

Above a deserted island, scarce dark energy spread through the skies. A mysterious platform had long been erected at the island's center, and a seemingly ordinary young man was tied to the platform, bound tightly, with countless transparent pipes piercing into his body.

Sika led the Royal Palace Guards, defending the island. She observed as the gloomy sky abruptly lit up. Several dozen beams of extreme radiance, akin to small suns, illuminated the land as they sped toward the island.

"It's finally here!"

Standing atop a mountain on the desolate island, Sika gracefully flicked her gilded sleeve robe. Her previously serene face now bore icy contempt and fierce hostility.

"Dalram, Hitler, pass down the order: repel the forces of the Land of Light at all costs. Ensure they never leave Lu Lu Ye!"

Lu Lu Ye—that was the name Qin Shou had given this deserted island.

"Yes!"

Dalram and Hitler responded loudly, each withdrawing their Dark Devices, their figures vanishing in flashes of black light as they moved into the guard ranks.

"By the decree of Her Highness the Princess: annihilate the enemies of the Land of Light!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, everyone simultaneously drew their Dark Devices. The dark energy in the sky surged dramatically; the once scarce dark energy rapidly condensed, transforming into an incomparably deep black cloud that enveloped the heavens, locked in confrontation with the brilliant light beams speeding toward them.

"Buzz!!!"

Immediately after, several dozen streams of dark energy soared skyward, with silhouettes of Dark Giants spreading across the skies.

At the same time, within a sea of dazzling brilliance, several dozen Light Giants burst forth, each seeking a Dark Giant for fierce combat.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Boom rumble rumble..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The deafening sounds of the clash filled the skies as energy erupted. Streams of light intertwined with black flashes, the collision of Light Energy and Dark Energy causing towering waves to churn across the sea.

The massive waves submerged countless islands but stopped short of approaching "Lu Lu Ye," where an energy barrier surrounded the small island, sealing out all external forces.

Above the island, a dark golden giant wielded an energy whip, standing alone against twelve colossal Spine Gu phantoms spanning the skies.

In the forefront of the twelve Spine Gu phantoms, a white-robed elder wore a kindly smile.

"Princess of the Dark Country, it's not too late to abandon darkness and embrace the light."

Sika lashed her whip, causing the void to tremble.

She sneered coldly, "Abandon darkness and embrace the light? Is such self-confidence a trademark of your Devouring Spine Gu Clan?"

With these words, the expressions of the twelve hidden faces beneath the white robes shifted dramatically.

The elder's smile narrowed. "How do you know this?"

As soon as his voice fell, the void beside Sika rippled violently. A familiar yet strange aura caused the entire group of Spine Gu to pale in shock.
