Chapter 574 -352: Is the Cyber World’s Moon Dead?
After examining the free-floating Spiritual Particles and those emitted by Extraordinary Materials, Lin Qi finally turned his attention to the Extraordinary Items.
Even before beginning his in-depth observation, Lin Qi already had a theory.
According to Lin Qi’s “Puzzle Mosaic” theory, the Spiritual Particles within Extraordinary Items should be more “complete” than those in Extraordinary Materials, formed from a greater number of “Phase States” combined into a more complex structure.
His gaze locked onto a Tier One Extraordinary Item.
Lin Qi began his in-depth observation.
What he “saw” was almost exactly as he had imagined.
Previously, with his Spiritual Vision, he could only see complete Spiritual Particles of a higher concentration.
But from his current perspective, Lin Qi saw interlocking Spiritual Particles with a far more complex structure.
Like pieces of a puzzle, they interlocked at the correct angles to form a relatively complete pattern.
‘This must be why Extraordinary Items can act as catalysts for S-Class Potions. They guide more Spiritual Particles to complete the mosaic in the correct formation.’
With this, Lin Qi grasped more of the fundamental nature of S-Class Pharmacy.
By observing with his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi was perhaps one of the few people in the entire Cyber World who truly understood the nature of Potions.
The reason he wasn’t the *only* one was because Lin Qi knew of a legendary Pharmaceutical Researcher in the European Administrative Region. That individual was said to be one of the second-generation founders and was currently the only X-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher in the Cyber World.
‘Until I become an X-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher, I can’t dare call myself the strongest.’
Slowly retracting his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi mulled over his latest discovery.
His next step was clear. Lin Qi needed to find a way to use instruments to directly analyze the “Phase State” of the Spiritual Particles within Extraordinary Materials and render the data visually.
He needed to think about a plan, and Lin Qi lost himself in thought.
…
Before he knew it, the time was 4:40 AM on April 13, 2089.
The Door’s cooldown was complete. Without hesitation, Lin Qi traveled to the Doomsday World.
By taking advantage of the time dilation in the Doomsday World, Lin Qi could think things through without being rushed.
Including the time in the Doomsday World, Lin Qi had nearly twenty-eight hours to formulate a preliminary plan and send his requirements to Liu Xuan.
‘Although Meditation slows my thinking, strength is what matters most. Otherwise, even if I possessed the Ability to revolutionize the entire Pharmacy industry, I might not have enough power to protect it.’
‘I can leverage the Eastern Alliance and borrow strength from the Lin Family, but that’s all external power. The Liu Clan’s near-collapse is a cautionary tale. Only the power you command yourself can be trusted.’
Lin Qi focused on increasing his power, prioritizing Meditation. Only after that did he spare some mental energy to devise a solution.
While he was thinking, a new idea occurred to Lin Qi.
‘Are the Spiritual Particles in the Cyber World and the Doomsday World really identical?’
‘Perhaps… not.’
He quietly activated an enhanced version of his Spiritual Vision, locking onto the free-floating Spiritual Particles of the Doomsday World.
As his focus sharpened, the true nature of the Doomsday World’s Spiritual Particles began to reveal itself to him.
‘They’re almost identical to the free-floating Spiritual Particles in the Cyber World. They are ordinary Spiritual Particles and have a universal compatibility for interlocking with Exotic Spiritual Particles.’
‘However, compared to the Spiritual Particles of the Cyber World, the ‘Phase State’ of these particles seems to be ‘active’.’
Lin Qi came up with a rather abstract analogy.
If an ordinary Spiritual Particle from the Cyber World was a puzzle piece with interlocking notches on all its edges, then a Spiritual Particle from the Doomsday World was a puzzle piece that could change its shape.
Observed as a snapshot in time, the two appeared identical. But from a dynamic perspective, the Spiritual Particles of the Doomsday World were in a constant state of flux.
It was as if the Spiritual Particles of the Cyber World were “dead,” while those of the Doomsday World were “alive.”
Lin Qi wanted to observe more closely, so he poured more and more of his Spiritual Power into his Spiritual Vision Ability.
Just as the infusion of Spiritual Power reached a certain limit…
Lin Qi’s eyes suddenly snapped open, his eyelids stretched wide. His eyeballs trembled at a high frequency as his pupils rapidly shifted focus.
Goosebumps erupted all over his skin, and every hair on his body stood on end.
He completely held his breath.
An immense pressure bore down on him.
At that moment, the passive observational aspect of his Spiritual Vision was pushed to its absolute limit.
Lin Qi felt as if countless gazes from all directions had landed on him.
Almost half of these gazes were filled with malice.
The owners of these gazes seemed to be perpetually nursing a single craving.
To devour!
It was as if they wanted to devour Lin Qi.
Lin Qi immediately retracted his Spiritual Vision.
As he retracted his Spiritual Vision, the horrifying sensation of being watched vanished with it.
Only then did Lin Qi start breathing again, slumping into his chair and gasping for air.
‘Holy… shit! You really can’t go looking for trouble in the Doomsday World. That feeling of being watched was too terrifying. The power of whatever was looking at me is far beyond my own, greater than any Extraordinary I’ve ever met.’
‘That gaze might have come from…’
Lin Qi did not dare to raise his head.
In Lin Qi’s mind, there was only one such powerful creature in the Doomsday World.
The Blood Moon, hanging high in the sky!
‘No, that’s not right. Besides the Blood Moon, there seems to be another, similarly terrifying existence on Earth in the Doomsday World. The heaven-piercing pillar of Spiritual Particles that suppressed the Spiritual Particle tide back then originated from it.’
