Reverend Insanity: The Gacha System

Li Tian took a slow, measured breath, his expression shifting into one of calm determination. "Now, we proceed to the final step," he murmured, his voice low but resolute. "First, let's get out of here. Kang Jun, remove the Silent Formation."

Kang Jun bowed slightly and swiftly did as instructed. He opened his Blessed Land, a shimmering portal of swirling energies, and sent Li Tian and the Lock Gu inside. On the outside, he deactivated the formation, dispelling the silent confinement that had shielded them.

With precision, Kang Jun activated a killer move Qi Wave using a combination of Rank 8 Immortal Gu—Sword Qi and Sword Wave Gu, augmented with several mortal Gu.

The air shimmered with lethal energy as the move propelled him forward at incredible speed, his figure vanishing into thin air. In less than a second, he had covered 600 kilometers, leaving the Spirit Affinity House Sect far behind.

He flew erratically for some time, taking a convoluted route to ensure he wasn't being tracked. His path cut through valleys, rivers, and mountain ranges before he finally descended into an unmarked forest.

The canopy was dense, the trees towering with vibrant green leaves that rustled gently in the breeze. The air was rich with the scent of earth and foliage, a serene contrast to the chaos left behind.

Once he landed, Kang Jun carefully released his Grotto Heaven. The ethereal structure unfolded from his aperture, absorbing the abundant Heaven and Earth Qi in the area.

As the Grotto Heaven stabilized, its vast expanse shimmered into existence, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Kang Jun stepped inside, moving purposefully toward Li Tian, who now stood before the Lock Gu.

Inside the shimmering sphere of golden light, Yue Shiyin and the Love Gu were confined together, their auras faint but detectable.

A third figure approached—Lu Nan, a clone of Li Tian created through advanced techniques, radiating the aura of a Creation Path Gu Immortal. His expression was calm and focused as he awaited instructions.

"Lu Nan, use the Creation Gu and Merge Gu on both of them," Li Tian commanded, stepping back to observe. His voice was steady, yet his eyes betrayed a flicker of anticipation.

Lu Nan nodded silently, retrieving the two Immortal Gu from his aperture. The Creation Gu was shaped like a miniature crystalline tree, its translucent branches pulsing with vibrant energy as if brimming with the essence of life itself. The Merge Gu, in contrast, was a dark metallic orb with faintly glowing runes etched across its surface, exuding an aura of stability and control. The Creation Gu was a pinnacle of the Creation Path, capable of crafting and intertwining life forces, while the Merge Gu, rooted in the Rule Path, specialized in seamlessly fusing disparate entities into a unified whole.

Lu Nan channeled his Immortal Essence into both Gu, activating the killer move Merge and Create. A radiant beam of light shot forth from the combined energy, enveloping the Lock Gu. As the Merge Gu took action, its essence formed a shimmering cocoon around both the Love Gu and Yue Shiyin, attempting to fuse their energies into a harmonious state. However, the Love Gu, being a Rank 9 Gu, resisted fiercely, its superior energy clashing violently with the Merge Gu's stabilizing force.

Just as the resistance threatened to disrupt the entire process, another Gu worm was summoned—Balance Gu. This Rank 8 Gu, shaped like a perfect yin-yang symbol, radiated a profound aura of equilibrium. Despite being a Rank 8 Gu, its unique power allowed it to suppress disparities between entities, momentarily balancing their auras. The Love Gu's overwhelming Rank 9 aura was temporarily suppressed to that of a Rank 8, creating a fragile yet manageable equilibrium.

The Balance Gu emitted waves of stabilizing energy, calming the chaotic interactions within the Lock Gu. Yet, the adjustment came with a strict limitation: the Balance Gu's effects would only last for a mere hundred breaths. After that, the Love Gu's true strength would return, potentially undoing the progress achieved.

Sweat beaded on Lu Nan's brow as he focused intently, guiding the energy flow with precision. The golden light within the Lock Gu pulsed rhythmically, a testament to the tenuous balance maintained by the combined efforts of the Merge Gu and Balance Gu.

Lu Nan carefully utilized almost twenty Immortal beads, their shimmering energy radiating brilliant hues as they dissolved into the process. Each bead was a condensed form of immense resources and energy, essential for attempting to merge a Rank 9 Gu of such magnitude.

The sheer complexity of the operation was evident in the intricate patterns of energy that formed around the Lock Gu, pulsating with a mix of gold and crimson light.

As the process advanced, the Love Gu began to yield its power, the overwhelming energy it radiated being meticulously extracted and dispersed into smaller, manageable streams. Slowly, the dao marks embedded within the Love Gu's form started to detach, their glowing strands weaving themselves into Yue Shiyin's essence.

The transformation was extraordinary. Yue Shiyin, enveloped in an ethereal cocoon of radiant light, seemed to become one with the energy. Her form was no longer visible to the naked eye, replaced by a luminous figure that resembled a living star.

The intensity of the light obscured every detail, ensuring that her physical appearance remained hidden from view, offering an almost divine sense of modesty amidst the powerful forces at work.

Lu Nan's movements were precise, his control over the Creation and Merge Gu unwavering as he guided the delicate process. In a few breaths the process reached the final step, now that the Gu and body merged togather the only thing left is the creating it.

As the killer move remained active, the creation essence detected the completion of the merging process, initiating the next stage of transformation. The luminous figure of light began to shift, its ethereal glow contracting as it slowly took form. The radiant brilliance pulsed rhythmically, signaling the emergence of a new entity.

Li Tian stepped forward, standing beside Lu Nan with a calm yet anticipatory demeanor. From his aperture, he retrieved four Gu worms—one a 500-year lifespan Gu and the others 750-year lifespan Gu. Each Gu glowed faintly, their life essence brimming with vitality. With practiced precision, he infused them into the body of light. As the lifespan Gu dissolved, waves of life essence surged through the shimmering figure, accelerating the process of creation.

The transformation unfolded rapidly. Streams of energy coalesced into tangible matter, cells forming and multiplying with astonishing speed.

Bones emerged first, their structure intricate and perfect, followed by muscles and organs, all coming together in a harmonious symphony of life.

Finally, a delicate layer of skin enveloped the form, its texture smooth and radiant, exuding an almost divine aura.

In just ten breaths, the process concluded, revealing a stunningly beautiful female figure. Her long, flowing hair shimmered with a soft pink hue, cascading like silk down her back.

Her skin was ethereal, glowing faintly with an otherworldly white radiance, and her eyes bore the unmistakable symbol of a pink heart, their gaze captivating and profound.

Though she stood without clothing, her modesty seemed irrelevant, overshadowed by the grace and purity emanating from her presence. She stepped forward with poise, her movements fluid and elegant, before bowing deeply to Li Tian. Her voice, soft yet resolute, broke the silence.

"Hello, master."
