Chapter 1585 - 1120: Rebirth and Transformation
"Waaaah—is he trying to kill the donkey after the grinding is done??" Screaming, Chiang Wei felt completely numb as Zheng Yichen prepared a bath for her.
He claimed it was expertly concocted, even though she hadn’t directly participated in the battle, the program development had optimized some of the operation mechanisms of the Firmament Wheel, making her contributions no less significant than those who did fight.
Thus, what Zheng Yichen offered now was the corresponding ’reward settlement’.
Chiang Wei was not opposed to this, as she had genuinely burned quite a few brain cells recently.
However, this ’reward settlement’ felt a bit ’inhumane’. Water under forty degrees felt like soaking in magma.
She felt like she was going to melt into the bath water.
"This is Chaotic Sea Water meticulously blended by the boss, containing Life Creation. It’s suitable for someone like you with little foundation to use."
The role of Life Creation was protection; it protected Chiang Wei from being directly dissolved by the Chaotic Sea Water. Otherwise, in her current physical condition, even diluted Chaotic Sea Water could kill her.
Now she was just enduring some hardship.
"But this is really too painful..."
Chiang Wei felt that the pain affected not only her body but also inevitably her soul, rendering any means to lose consciousness useless. She could only remain conscious to endure everything.
"Then bear it. If you want to transform completely, you have to go through this," Lilith intoned calmly, "If you can’t take it, I can help you."
"Eh? How?"
"Like this—"
Lilith walked over and pressed down on her amidst Chiang Wei’s screams.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
The screaming lasted for almost an hour. Chiang Wei numbly soaked in the tub, blowing bubbles; the pain was gone, but the experience made her feel that she could handle childbirth calmly in the future.
It was so tough.
Of course, she had already experienced the benefits. She clearly felt her physique strengthen, and the simple Cultivation Technique she practiced before was now like flying on a plane.
With a little carelessness, she advanced, whereas before, it was the Cultivation Technique that drove her enhancement. Now it’s her driving the Cultivation Technique’s enhancement.
"What level do I count as now?" Chiang Wei asked curiously. After suffering, it’s all in the past, unrelated to her current self.
If she cared too much, wouldn’t all the suffering be in vain?
"Demigod Physique, equivalent to a corporeal sanctification in some lower environment worlds. In a high environment, a lifespan exceeding a hundred thousand years, and currently in Hazy City’s environment, you maintain the status quo with a ten-thousand-year lifespan."
Lilith narrated Chiang Wei’s current physical condition; even diluted, Chaotic Sea Water is still Chaotic Sea Water.
Being able to withstand it in this water’s native world, after a complete transformation, she would be akin to ’Innate Demigods’. Even diluted Chaotic Sea Water has that characteristic, albeit much weaker.
In terms of lifespan, in the Star God World, a hundred thousand years is just a start, assuming she does nothing and lives as a slack fish.
Even so, ’at least a hundred thousand years’ applies, and with any effort, she could live much longer.
Such an existence could be considered an Everlasting Being in other worlds.
"In terms of physique, in Hazy City’s environment, conventional firearms can be ignored, and heavy weaponry can also be ignored when empowered with special powers, while the effectiveness of specialized weapons depends on the type."
This is not absolute. A regular handgun paired with special ammunition still has the potential to kill Chiang Wei, whereas regular firearms with standard ammo do not pose a threat unless she actively seeks her own demise.
"Is this so exaggerated?" Chiang Wei was stunned, not expecting this. Based on Lilith’s description, she suddenly thought she could soak for another hour.
But now, having adapted, the bath water was no longer effective.
"Without the boss’s adjustment, pouring this tub of bath water into the ocean could poison over eighty percent of the human race in this world."
Among the remaining less than twenty percent of humans, some would live worse than death, with only a small portion eventually adapting and accepting the further diluted Chaotic Sea Water, thereby transforming completely and advancing to the extraordinary level.
Chiang Wei first thought of the saying of one person achieving enlightenment while even their chickens and dogs ascend.
"I suddenly feel very motivated." She left the bath water, now turned into regular water, and moved her body, finding her current state exceedingly good.
She could sit in front of a computer for an entire year!
"Then continue your system development; anything is fine." Lilith said unceremoniously.
Chiang Wei’s health has improved, and she can now utilize more systems. Whenever she experiences bursts of inspiration, it’s an enhancement for Lilith.
"Don’t I have a vacation?" Energetic Chiang Wei suddenly felt drained. The development of some systems for the Firmament Wheel had her brain buzzing, and now that the battle was over, she needed to take a break.
Leaving the room, Chiang Wei returned to her bedroom and looked at herself in the mirror: "So beautiful."
She couldn’t find any flaws on herself, and thinking of something, she asked Doris to assist her with a new examination.
Soon, she discovered the uniqueness of her current physique. Even if she does nothing, her body’s surface has a special biological force field.
This layer of biological force field isn’t strong, but it prevents bacteria, dust, and the like from affecting her.
Moreover, her vision has enhanced to a meticulous level. If she doesn’t focus, her vision is already exceptional by conventional standards.
When she does concentrate, her vision increases significantly. Thinking about it, Chiang Wei felt a bit numbed as she understood the world seen by transcendents.
"So, me cleaning myself thoroughly every day looks just average in the eyes of a transcendent?" Chiang Wei muttered, then gently patted her face. Well, now she didn’t need to worry about such things.
Humming a tune happily, she left her room, got into a vehicle, and headed to the city inside the Firmament Wheel.
The time here synced with the outside, and it was nighttime. The Firmament Wheel’s sky was filled with stars.
The stars circulating above the Firmament Wheel operated using the Group of Stars System she created.
Each star was a Star Core of the Star God, and there were 11,077 of them. These stars were part of the night view for the people here, and a new energy source for the Firmament Wheel.
The arrangement and power of the Star Cores can gather the strength of the stars, thus slowly strengthening. After all, a Star Core is the most important existence for a Star God, even if excavated, it retains growth potential.
However, in the Star God World, besides Star Gods, there were no other stars. Yet in the normal world, stars are numerous.
Attracting starlight to gather power isn’t difficult... hmm, Chiang Wei wasn’t good at this, she was merely improving the Group of Stars System according to Lilith’s big plan.
Moreover, there were many areas in the Group of Stars System worth optimizing, and for the foreseeable future, her work would involve this significantly.
Lilith would provide her with a vast amount of related information, and she would make optimizations based on those materials.
If the inside of the Firmament Wheel could be perfected like a world, it would definitely be due to her contributions.
"Hehe, this is much more interesting than staying home." After enjoying the night view for a while, Chiang Wei left the Firmament Wheel.
She knew the situation inside. Most of the people living here were entities from the Virtual World, even if they could interact normally here.
Knowing more brought corresponding worries, so during non-combat periods, Chiang Wei preferred to engage in normal activities outside.
"Your body has no issues, some special aspects can’t even be detected by the best equipment."
After Chiang Wei left the Firmament Wheel, Ahn Ke also helped Zheng Yichen complete a body checkup. With a refreshed body status, some parts of Zheng Yichen remained the same, but appeared more optimized.
And some parts couldn’t be checked with normal methods at all.
Zheng Yichen was still human, but increasingly less like one.
But Ahn Ke didn’t mind, the body was Zheng Yichen’s, and if he didn’t change, his identity was still the one he acknowledged for himself.
"That’s good, we can do other checkups slowly later, let’s go out to eat." Giving Ahn Ke a pat, Zheng Yichen got up, draping the cat spirit cloak over himself, a garment covering his body.
The two had already undergone a body checkup for over three hours here.
This wasn’t their limit, but they couldn’t stay here indefinitely. Zheng Yichen didn’t have much to do now, but Ahn Ke had many ongoing projects.
The project of developing new Celestial Being’s Serum around Chaotic Sea Water had just begun, and she needed support in all aspects.
In the last world, Ahn Ke proposed that when Zheng Yichen dealt with the Star God, she could try creating a temporary army of Synthetic Humans.
These Synthetic Humans possessed celestial traits, and they wouldn’t exist long. They didn’t need to, and if they could take down some of the Star Gods, it would suffice.
But the plan ultimately failed due to the interference of the Boundary Breaker.
The Star Gods were still in a scattered state, so creating an army of Synthetic Humans wasn’t a problem. But once the Star Cluster Defense Line appeared, the Synthetic Human army became meaningless.
Facing the Star Cluster Defense Line, except for strong individuals like Zheng Yichen who could charge in directly, no number of Synthetic Humans could push into the Star Cluster Defense Line.
Even if Zheng Yichen sent the Synthetic Human army in, the outcome wouldn’t be much better.
However, Ahn Ke didn’t plan on giving up this plan, as Zheng Yichen had the Ark of Life.
Such a power shouldn’t only be used on himself; it has great development potential that naturally needed to be thoroughly explored. She couldn’t help Zheng Yichen strengthen his physical body but could enhance his ability extensions.
