Chapter 186 The Limits of the Universe
The energy contained in these crystals is very gentle, a stark contrast to the intense pain caused by the evolution agent.
Of course, the price of being gentle is that it takes longer to see results, unlike other resources which are more rapid.
It took Chen Yuan three whole days to absorb all of these resources.
As the last trace of energy merged into his body, Chen Yuan eagerly opened the panel. His gaze fell upon what it displayed:
[Life gene level: 12 times]
[Bloodline Level: Peak Realm Lord]
[Law Talent: 3]
Compared to three days ago, Chen Yuan's talent has now undergone a qualitative leap.
The improvement in the genetic level also led to the evolution of bloodline and law-based talents.
It can be said that, even within the entire universe, apart from special life forms, no individual in any large race could possess such high aptitude as Chen Yuan.
If Chen Yuan was merely a genius comparable to Bolan before, then now he is fully qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kodi and become a peerless prodigy who appears only once every tens of millions of eras!
Therefore, after improving his talent, Chen Yuan immediately tried a new round of cultivation.
After a while.
"My cultivation efficiency is amazing right now!"
Chen Yuan was shocked, because his current speed of comprehending the laws was not only three times that of before, as he had thought, but a full ten times!
The reason for this is the improvement in genetic level and bloodline. It is not just about improving the talent for laws, but also greatly improving talents that are difficult to quantify, such as thinking speed and comprehension.
The combination of multiple talents resulted in Chen Yuan's comprehension speed being ten times faster than before.
"Now, my cultivation speed will probably be even faster than it was in Chaos City."
Chen Yuan thought to himself with delight, "At this rate of comprehension, I will be able to comprehend 90 kinds of laws within three years, and I am confident that I can fully comprehend all 108 kinds of laws within ten years!"
Understanding the 108 essences of time is enough to pass through the 12-level Heavenly Bridge, and even smoothly pass through the original Heavenly Mountain.
In other words, within ten years at most, Chen Yuan would be confident of becoming a member of the Primal Secret Realm.
After confirming his current talent, Chen Yuan prepared to continue cultivating, but he stopped again not long after.
"I almost forgot about this!"
Chen Yuan patted his head, and with a thought, took out the shrunken Shiyuan Palace.
"I almost forgot, I also need to test the time flow function of the Shiyuan Palace."
Chen Yuan had been eyeing this new feature for a long time: "If it can even accelerate the comprehension of laws, I could even cross all 12 levels of the Heavenly Bridge within a year!"
So he entered the Primordial Origin Hall, where the interior space had expanded to a thousand kilometers, allowing him to cultivate at will.
We're not worried about not having enough space anymore.
"Irelia, activate the time acceleration function and gradually increase it from low to high."
Chen Yuan gave the instructions.
"Yes, Master."
As soon as Irene finished speaking, Chen Yuan keenly sensed that the flow of time in the surrounding environment had accelerated, currently by about twice as fast.
Moreover, as time goes by, the speed of time increases from 3 times to 5 times to 8 times, and soon exceeds 10 times.
However, Chen Yuan frowned slightly because he discovered that as the flow of time increased, his efficiency in comprehending the laws became lower and lower.
However, he did not interrupt the acceleration process. An hour later, when the time acceleration inside the Shiyuan Palace had reached its limit of 64 times, Chen Yuan said, "That's enough, stop now."
As the time acceleration ended, the flow of time around him instantly returned to normal, and his previously blurred perception of the laws returned.
Then Chen Yuan continued, "Irene, report on the energy consumption at each level during the time acceleration."
"OK."
Ireil said, "Master, according to statistics, energy consumption is lowest when time is accelerated by 2 times, about 0.01 cubic cosmic crystals are consumed per second. As the acceleration factor increases, the amount of reserves consumed also increases."
With Irene's explanation, Chen Yuan roughly understood the energy consumption of time acceleration.
In general, when the acceleration is less than 30 times, the energy consumption is relatively moderate. However, once it exceeds 30 times, the energy consumption will increase exponentially. For every additional doubling, the energy consumption will double!
The energy consumption for a 30x acceleration is approximately 25000 cosmic crystals per day, which is equivalent to 2500 million cosmic coins per day.
However, when time is accelerated to 64 times, the consumption reaches a terrifying 4.3 trillion cosmic coins per day, which means that 43000 Chaos Units are consumed for every day of acceleration.
With Chen Yuan's current wealth, even if he could afford it, there's no need for such consumption; the cost-effectiveness is too low.
Ireil then explained the reason: the current level of the Primordial Palace makes it difficult to support excessively high time flow rates.
Therefore, a 30x acceleration is within the limit of energy consumption, but exceeding this value will cause overload, requiring more energy to be invested, and it will be an exponential increase.
Having understood this, Chen Yuan then tested other effects of time acceleration.
A few minutes later, he fully understood the effect of time acceleration.
Overall, this ability did not accelerate the speed of comprehending the laws as Chen Yuan had expected, and it could not even speed up the system's optimization time.
Indeed, Chen Yuan also tested whether the time acceleration effect could be applied to the system's optimization tasks. Unfortunately, the system's time did not accelerate accordingly and remained at the same time as the external time.
"But I also optimized items during my time in Chaos City, so how could the system be affected?"
Chen Yuan was very puzzled by this. He thought for a moment and said, "There is only one explanation: the system's time is synchronized with the current universe's time. Chaos City is in the initial universe, independent of the original universe, so the system's time has also been synchronized with the past."
"It seems that the idea of saving primordial energy by accelerating time is not feasible."
Chen Yuan shook his head, somewhat regretfully.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Since the original energy is so precious, how could it be so easily saved from being consumed?
Moreover, the system's essence is extremely high; even the primordial universe could not detect its existence. If it could be affected by such a simple means, Chen Yuan would be worried.
However, the time acceleration function of the Primordial Palace is not entirely useless. At least when Chen Yuan is cultivating secret techniques or digesting certain resources, he can use the acceleration effect of the Primordial Palace to complete the task quickly.
"Well, come to the Primordial Origin Palace whenever you need to cultivate secret techniques or digest resources. As for comprehending the laws, you should do it outside."
Chen Yuan then left the Shiyuan Hall and began to continue comprehending the laws.
A month passed quickly. On this day, Chen Yuan ended his seclusion, opened the panel, took out the four optimized Blood Crystals, and put in new Blood Crystals to continue optimization.
In the training room, Chen Yuan took out a Blood Crystal, his eyes filled with excitement: "I have now refined 7 Blood Crystals, and with these 4 more, I will be able to become a Black Warrior."
"With my current 12-fold genetic level, plus the amplification from the Black Warrior, wouldn't I reach 120 times the genetic potential, comparable to a special life form?!"
With this expectation in mind, Chen Yuan began to refine the Blood Crystal.
Thirty minutes later, all four Blood Crystals had been refined, and Chen Yuan felt that he still had a lot of energy left, enough to refine at least five or six more.
However, none of that mattered. At this moment, Chen Yuan had only one thought: to test the limits of his genes!
Driven by the power of Bloodlust, intricate patterns appeared on Chen Yuan's skin, and his entire skin glowed with a faint golden light.
At the same time, with the support of the Blood Luo power, his genetic level began to rise steadily until it reached its limit.
"Um?"
Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, frowning slightly: "It only went up to 100 times before stopping?"
Yes, Chen Yuan's current genetic level is 100 times higher, not the expected 120 times higher.
"Furthermore, I clearly feel that the Blood Luo power within my body hasn't reached its limit yet. Theoretically, it should increase my gene multiplier by 120 times or even higher, because I've fused with 11 Blood Luo crystals!"
"That's strange, Luo Feng never encountered this situation in the original story."
Chen Yuan was utterly puzzled and quickly recalled the original plot.
Suddenly, he discovered a blind spot.
"I see."
Chen Yuan opened his eyes and suddenly realized, "No wonder it couldn't improve beyond a hundredfold, so that's why—"
"A hundredfold increase in genetic level is the limit of the universe!"
