Chapter 736 - 367: Alchemy-Modified Sage

Chapter 736: Chapter 367: Alchemy-Modified Sage

[You have raised a large amount of Transformation Science skill level to maximum value, gaining +3404 skill levels in Alchemy Transformation.]

[Your Alchemy Transformation skill level has reached Sage level.]

[You have obtained 2 special skill points.]

[You have obtained 1 Sage specialization choice.]

Baiyi wasn’t too disappointed; logically, creating a Holy Descendant and Blood Evil should warrant special skill point rewards.

However, the issue is minor. Baiyi could roughly figure out the reason. When he created the ??? level Sun Salutation, he wasn’t yet a Sage, but now he is.

Baiyi is becoming more familiar with this panel mechanism.

It always grants rewards according to the highest point on the Light Side.

Perhaps in the panel’s judgment, an Alchemy Sage was inherently supposed to create knowledge of this level for personal use?

Not dwelling on it too much, Baiyi decisively opened the specialization choices.

[You have opened 1 Sage specialization.]

[Please choose one of the three Alchemy Transformation specializations below.]

[Eye of Reshaping: You can see the flesh and blood structure of modified bodies, +20% understanding ability of any transformation knowledge.]

[Power of Flesh and Blood: Your Magic Power can charge any modified body, and quickly adapt to and understand any modified creature.]

[Transformation Ascension: Your body will undergo an evolution.]

Baiyi was taken aback. These three specializations... seem exactly the same as when he was an Alchemy Technology Sage, and the strangest thing is....

The choice for the Eye of Reshaping is normal, but the other two choices were dim gray, seemingly... in an unselectable state.

Baiyi frowned, he thought of something, insight appeared in his eyes, as though he understood something about why there are many Sages, but so few Great Sages.

This is a path choice, knowledge, energy, or body in a three-way selection.

But this is a three-way selection for Baiyi alone.

An Alchemy Sage without a panel randomly gets one of these three specializations, but when they become Dual Sages, controlling the second and third specializations is difficult, seeming related to habitual research styles and various fates intertwined choices.

This is very complicated, and the rules are hard to determine, even Great Sages do not know how they became Great Sages. Currently, the information for becoming a Great Alchemist Sage only states: acquire Triple Sage and create a Giant Statue.

But it seems now, this is not the only method, there is the implication of fate.

For example, by entering Sage through Transformation Science, there’s a high possibility of awakening the Evolutionary Body, but during his Technology Sage stage, if he can randomly achieve a second purification through Evolutionary Body, and during his Potion Making Sage stage, achieve a third evolution.

Then this Alchemy Sage has the qualification to enter Great Sage status.

As long as knowledge accumulates, even without creating a Giant Statue, one could become a Great Sage.

There is a certain rule; the panel’s specialty choices are based on the channel Baiyi gained this specialty, as well as experiences during development, and choices honed by power.

These routine accumulations, by that time, become a three-way selection among three specializations, and even those not selected might awaken over time with accumulated experience.

Very complex, yet reasonable.

After all, historical records state, on the eve of the New God’s divine war, the races of Xia coexisted, and each profession almost developed to its peak.

But during the pinnacle of the Great Alchemist Sage, there were only five.

All races combined made five.

[You have chosen Eye of Reshaping.]

The panel information flashed by, and a flicker of heat appeared in Baiyi’s eyes, before quickly fading.

Perhaps due to already having some experience, the reaction this time was significantly milder than the last.

Baiyi looked around. In his vision, the world seemed to break into frames, each containing different things.

Magic Power, Faith, Destiny, Soul, numerous higher dimensional matters appeared clearly in his eyes.

Baiyi seemed able to effortlessly perceive their movement trajectories.

There was a feeling as if everything was transparent before his eyes.

Closing his eyes, he concealed the divine sight.

Baiyi exhaled deeply and walked out of the laboratory.

Zero, attached to his retina, projected information on Giant Statue construction.

Upon revisiting these materials, Baiyi’s understanding was completely different.

Originally, it was like an elementary school student reading high school knowledge; recognizing the words without understanding the whole.

Now, it felt like that student had reached high school; although the knowledge remained esoteric, it was no longer beyond comprehension.

Space ripples flashed around Baiyi as he entered a layer of special light film.

When his sight became clear again, a Mechanical Castle appeared before him.

This was the first underground level of Celestial City, all had a metallic hue.

Greening was still underway on the surface of Celestial City, simultaneous improvements were unnecessary in Baiyi’s view as sometimes senses could be deceived.

Issuing some commands, the surrounding colors abruptly changed.

Earth appeared on the metallic ground, blades of grass burst forth.

In nearly an instant, green and stone slabs filled the entire view.

Immediately, the fragrance of grass and the scent of fruit trees permeated this space layer.

These were small programs added when Baiyi created Celestial City; this earth and such were false, the smell was from an air purification system, even the touch was simulated.

The sophistication lies in how these fakes are tangible; without using Extraordinary Power, virtually nobody could discern the difference.

This area could even mimic seasons. If real soil were brought in, it’d be indistinguishable from the real earth.

And due to seasonal adjustments and Gathering Spirit influences, it surpassed the outside world in suitability for growing Extraordinary Materials.

Power of Dimensions surged forth.

Buzz~

The surrounding ground emitted a humming sound.

A giant arm and an enormous head appeared.

"Woo~ woo~"

Soft whispers arose.

Baiyi glanced back; at the gate of the Mechanical Castle, a Hellhound with clear eyes and a robot holding its leash came into view.

During his participation in Eugene’s Devil Game, Baiyi casually contracted the Hellhound Sireon; now with abundant resources, it too was a Golden Lower Tier.

Its purpose here was merely for alerting.

Even though Celestial City’s defenses were comprehensive, unexpected incidents were possible.

Having a guard dog like this wasn’t bad...

It was also because Ao Xi disapproved of the dog, unwilling to use its Hellfire for material forging.

Ignoring Sireon, Baiyi procured stones and various materials from the Demon Realm, preparing to repair the Giant Statue.

When noticing the Sea God’s [Illusory Treasure].

Baiyi paused briefly.

This item manifested part of a Mighty Divine Power’s spirit, capable of simulating all worldly materials and substances.

Power of the Bizarre and Source of the World shared similar effects.

However, this item was more precious than the others due to its ability to transform into corresponding items merely through the user’s spirit guidance.

To put it simply, the others were raw materials, while this was a semi-finished product.

After some thinking, Baiyi decided to aim high.

[Sun Salutation: Lava, Earth Core, Fierce Sun, God] had once exploded and shattered a small world, prompting him to activate the Demon Soul Blood, almost killing a god.

What about the final version?

That is, the [Sun Praise: Lava, Earth Core, Fierce Sun, God, and Embers] version.

While the Lava version’s power rated at ten, Earth Core + Lava reached 15~16.

With the addition of a Sun Fragment, if power could reach 20, it’s assumed that even those of Middle Divine Power in peak state might perish instantly.

The only issue is a high probability of explosion during its creation; even Demon Soul Blood seems hard-pressed to withstand it.

Yet, in a 3.0 trailer, there was a scene of Baiyi tossing this updated Sun Salutation.

He replayed the trailer once more.

Reevaluating the final outcome.

It seemed to be a new variant, not the envisioned mega-weapon.

Pondering this, Baiyi still planned a venture into the Underworld.

Earth Core Deposits and Magma Core could never be excessive for Baiyi.

Moreover, it was time to test the Mythical Armor and Holy Descendant.

Hoping they wouldn’t let him down.

Issuing a summons, Baiyi began manufacturing certain devices, as the Holy Descendant needed time to adapt to new powers and combat modes.
