In the pitch-black, icy void of the cosmic starry sky, a figure enveloped in a crimson glow swiftly moved.
With an interference value of thirteen hundred trillion, the game character easily achieved a movement speed of a thousand times the speed of sound.
Exactly how fast this speed was, even he found it a bit hard to estimate.
This was somewhat different from Lin Qianxuan's expectations.
Along the way, the game character would occasionally evolve new superpowers.
The cosmic environment was also considered a harsh one, with the superpowers the game character acquired being at least Tier Four, which was a modest but significant improvement.
Lin Qianxuan fast-forwarded, and within just nine days, the game character had already reached close to a star.
The searing heat had little effect on him; the might of this physical body had surpassed even his wildest imagination.
The only thing that affected him was the terrifying gravitational force.
The game character's form was being pulled by gravity, energy quickly depleting to counteract this force.
Even so, the game character's body was rapidly deteriorating and getting injured.
Though Lin Qianxuan had previewed the outcome through the Destiny Mark, he couldn't help but frown.
It's a bit too forcing.
This environment was not one where the game character could currently survive.
At most, he could ensure not dying for a certain period, and even that immortality comes with a percentage-based health drain.
"Just hang in there for a bit longer!"
The first superpower was acquired by the game character after ten minutes.
[In this long period, you have adapted to the current environment, and your evolutionary body has undergone a new evolution. It will grant you a new superpower to help you better survive in the current environment.]
[Please choose one of the following three superpowers to load onto the evolutionary body.]
[Gravity Resistance (Tier Nine): You can release a field that weakens the effects of gravity. (Forgo evolution to gain Tier Nine Superpower Origin *167.)]
[Cell Reinforcement (Tier Nine): Your cell structure has changed, significantly increasing in strength and greatly enhancing resistance to gravity. (Forgo evolution to gain Tier Nine Superpower Origin *125.)]
[Gravity Control (Tier Nine): By expending your own energy, you can generate and control gravity to a certain extent. (Forgo evolution to gain Tier Nine Superpower Origin *144.)]
Tier Nine superpowers!!
Lin Qianxuan initially thought Tier Eight was the limit, never expecting that in this environment, Tier Nine superpowers could be directly acquired.
According to the standards of the Supreme Star, a Tier Nine superpower's interference value is at least ten trillion.
That's a hundred trillion interference value, the Sound of Destiny multiplied by ten.
This one superpower is one hundred trillion interference value.
Even if he strengthens the game character, slowing its adaptation speed.
But no matter how low it gets, with the Sound of Destiny backing it, an hour should still be maintainable, right?
With this calculation, a day at least draws a two to three thousand trillion increase in interference value, and in a month, that's ninety thousand trillion.
Based on the last action by the Planetary Spirit, he has a remaining sixty days.
Reserve twelve days for the return journey, leaving forty-eight days.
Could this result in obtaining fourteen million trillion interference value?
That's a conservative estimate.
If he finds the balance point, allowing the game character to cultivate here without getting injured.
Perhaps a superpower could be acquired every half an hour, and the strength of the superpowers varies—some are more, some are less; with good luck, the values could rise even further.
Lin Qianxuan pondered while making his choice.
Abandon evolution and use the acquired Superpower Origin to enhance the game character's innate [Body Enhancement] superpower.
Instantly, the game character gained more than a hundred trillion in interference value. Although it's still challenging, the environment's lethality toward him has significantly reduced, allowing his self-repair ability to help him endure a while longer.
Time passed, and three hours later, Lin Qianxuan selected nine superpowers in total, adding more than a thousand trillion in interference value to the game character. Although still unable to withstand it, the character shifted from being severely injured and on the brink of death to sustaining minor injuries with constant health depletion.
He felt increasingly at ease.
Another two hours passed, and everything remained in balance.
The game character's self-healing ability balanced with the current harsh environment.
Now he acquired one superpower on average every fifty minutes.
Roughly calculated by Lin Qianxuan, as long as he maintains continually avoiding evolution and not enhancing game character abilities for the next forty-eight days, even at the lowest level, there would be at least fourteen or fifteen million trillion interference value.
Indeed, the String of Destiny has no dead ends; it depends on whether you know how to use its gifts to change destiny.
After Lin Qianxuan input the commands, he let the game character operate autonomously and sped up the passage of time.
This repetitive training didn't require him to consume time observing.
A few details could be reviewed later slightly.
Thus, Lin Qianxuan watched the game screen change rapidly.
Although the game character had abandoned evolution, all Superpower Origins were retained. Without enhancing the character itself, everything maintained a state of balance.
This way, he could acquire as much interference value as possible.
As time ticked by, even though the game character had not enhanced its own superpowers, its body still naturally gained enhancement, reducing the efficiency of superpower acquisition. But it still remained around the hour mark of balance.
This was the improvement brought by the True Flame within his body, and it could also be understood as the boon granted by the Dragon Bloodline.
In fact, after breaking through the Dao Realm, as long as the True Flame continued to burn, both his physical and spiritual strength would naturally increase, and the efficiency wasn't actually slow.
It's just that compared to the game character enhancing its superpowers for self-improvement, the data increase felt a bit less noticeable.
However, it seems like for True Flame to improve, it requires burning incredibly high-quality kindling.
The more extraordinary the fuel burned, the richer and more intense the essence the True Flame returned to its master.
The game character can only burn some Divine Energy to enhance himself, and this efficiency is already quite fast.
The images in the game flashed by quickly, and forty-eight days had completely disappeared.
The screen froze, and Lin Qianxuan was also preparing to enhance him.
(Put all the preserved Superpower Origins into the [Body Enhancement] superpower.)
The command was executed, and the game character swiftly complied.
A crimson glow shone brightly, and subtle changes were occurring on the game character, his body's structure becoming increasingly harmonious. The gravitational pull from the Great Sun became ever weaker, and the scorching heat couldn't cause his flesh the slightest harm.
[Body Enhancement (Tier Thirteen): Your physique will be greatly enhanced. (Interference Value: 168,542 trillion.)]
This is the superpower strength of the fully enhanced game character.
A terrifying Tier Thirteen superpower.
To such an extent that it has never been recorded in the entire history of the Supreme Star.
Even theorists wouldn't dare to imagine this level.
After all, humans have their limits, and excessively powerful superpowers require a sufficiently strong foundation to bear it.
The game character simply loads it without any reasoning.
Acquiring the superpower simultaneously bestowed the necessary foundation, with both physical and spiritual enhancements following suit.
"Planet Essence, prepare to meet your end!"
Lin Qianxuan's lips curled up as he had the game character prepare to return.
The command was entered, and the game character prepared to break free from the star's gravity and leave this place.
The game character's power gathered in his legs, then exploded with force.
"Boom~!"
The immense force impacted the star's surface, causing a storm of hot waves to spread over tens of thousands of kilometers.
The game character's figure shot out directly, reaching an extreme speed.
Lin Qianxuan had reserved twelve days for the return trip because he thought it might take time to break free from gravity and there might be unforeseen events.
But the facts proved he was overthinking it.
160 million kilometers, the game character took less than a day.
Specifically, within twenty hours.
Such speed combined with his powerful physique makes punching through a star not a dream.
Is this truly planet-level combat power?
Even Lin Qianxuan was a bit surprised.
This was still only the seventy-eighth day of the game character's journey.
The Planet Essence had not yet made a move on Zhang Juan, and the new Supreme this time was Holland, not Ira.
It seemed to be the influence of the butterfly effect.
Holland did not, as the first playthrough narrated, return the Supreme Crystal Stone to Li Zi Star but instead stayed on the Supreme Star, indulging in her power.
Lin Qianxuan felt she had been possessed by the Planet Essence, but she might not even be aware of it yet.
After all, using a mind superpower to interfere with her cognition wouldn't be difficult for the Planet Essence.
There was no rush to find the Planet Essence for a life-and-death battle.
Before that, Lin Qianxuan decided to learn from the experts in Upper City of the Supreme Star.
They have at least summarized countless years of techniques; learning a bit could better let the game character exert his power.
Thus, the game character and Zhang Juan arrived at the Holy City.
Lin Qianxuan wasn't familiar with the other experts; he only knew from the first Supreme Battle that Nari was a relatively approachable senator, and he also possessed body enhancement superpowers. Coincidentally, Zhang Juan seemed to know him and had reportedly received tacit help from him before.
Thus, they sought out Nari.
At this time, Nari was still cultivating inside the reactor.
This Supreme Battle, he ranked second and ultimately lost to Holland in the final battle.
His power was tightly restrained by Holanke, unable to break through the defense.
Upon hearing that the game characters were visiting, Nari immediately ended his cultivation.
[Nari (surprised): A rare guest indeed, the renowned Witch, the uncrowned king of the Lower City District. You've come to find me, how surprising. Do you also need help from us Upper City people?]
[Zhang Juan (unamused): Don't be sarcastic. I appreciate your past leniency, but at that time I had to kill those law enforcement officers; if I hadn't, I would be the one dissected for research on an operating table right now!]
[Nari (shaking his head): Okay! I understand you, but we don't have unresolved contradictions. I still suggest you join Upper City; it's much more suitable for you here.....]
[Zhang Juan (interrupting, pointing at you): We're not here to discuss this. I'm here for my brother.]
[Nari (looking at you in surprise, then at Zhang Juan): You have a brother?]
[Zhang Juan (laughing): Of course, a childhood-friend-like brother! You single dogs wouldn't understand!!]
[Nari (speechless): Congratulations on having a beloved one. So, this so-called brother, what do you plan to do by finding me?]
The latter half of the sentence was directed at the game character, giving Lin Qianxuan a chance to interject.
[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Nari): Senator Nari, I hope you can guide me on superpower development. In exchange, I can join Upper City and become one of you.]
Whether to join or not is just a matter of this playthrough, it will be reconsidered afterward.
Using this as a bargaining chip, Lin Qianxuan felt no pressure.
[Nari (looking at you): Oh? Why did you choose me?]
[Lin Qianxuan (explaining): Because I also have the body enhancement type of superpower.]
[Nari (a bit curious): Another legendary Enhancement System? And you're also into body enhancement? Interesting!]
