Chapter 1677: Chapter 1677: The Impossibility of Ti
Early on, when Sha Chuan left, Nie Xuan applied to the military for a Class A Instrunt he just acquired that is specifically used to detect Ti Force. As for why not look for instrunts or props that can interfere with Ti Force, it’s simple: because they can’t be found. Even if found, no one would sell them.
Ti Force itself is one of the ga’s foundations. Other than ga companies that publicly sell such instrunts and props, almost no division governnt or force they could contact has similar instrunts or props—of course, this might be due to good confidentiality asures.
However, compared to the easier-to-obtain Spatial Instrunts and Props, Ti Items and Instrunts are extrely rare. Many props and instrunts classified as ti-related don’t directly interfere with Ti Force. They are mostly ordinary props made from Secondary Stone or Prival Stone with certain effects, similarly, in the ga, those who can truly begin Ti-Directed Super Evolution are very few. The active Super Players at Level-E Wormhole Points are not Ti Evolutionaries. It’s said there is one super player in Zone 011 who has begun Ti-Directed Super Evolution, but they are very mysterious, hardly showing themselves, their traces are elusive, and truth is hard to discern.
In other words, those that can truly affect ti, be it players, props, or instrunts, are extrely rare. The instrunt Nie Xuan holds would never have been acquirable by military players if not for its rather superficial function.
Yet even an instrunt that seems so superfluous was acquired by military players at a high price after gathering information from various channels, and wouldn’t be used unless in special situations.
Now is precisely that special ti.
This suddenly appearing wandering space contains Ti, Space, and Spirit Super Evolution Powers; it’s a high-risk Super Evolution Site. While the risks are high, they hold a value worth taking a gamble. Nie Xuan is here to pave the way. The military and Special Defense Departnt have already secretly sent all the Super Evolvers they currently have, including but not limited to Psychic and Spatial Evolvers, as well as reserve Evolutionaries, outside the space, waiting for him to find a potential path for them to evolve.
However, Nie Xuan’s situation is not optimistic.
In Spatial Evolution, he is weaker than Xu Huo. The deeper he goes into the Nine Great Divine Paths, the more his perceivable Spatial Range gets compressed. Thus, when subjected to interference of Psychic Power, he lost a teammate and had to send another teammate away.
His journey is difficult, but choosing the Nine Great Divine Paths has allowed him to see a greater number of ti fragnts containing important information earlier; hence he got a glimpse of the "Divine Eye" and the city destruction event’s edges, and it was these bits of information that kept him lingering.
It is unclear whether he’s lucky or unlucky. Though he didn’t encounter Baoyu’s corpse, he was struck by a Ti Ray first, hitting precisely the right foot that had been struck by a Spatial Ray before. Of course, there’s no difference between the right and left foot; both legs now exhibit spatial characteristics.
Nie Xuan’s evolution status is one of Country X’s top secrets. Usually, besides protective clothing, his legs require special gear to prevent information leaks. But now, here, he hasn’t switched gear, letting his feet remain exposed.
His legs are no longer part of a normal human body. After being hit by Lawrence Lee’s Spatial Ray, his legs and feet began showing cracks, not actual flesh splits but lines resembling transparent hard lines growing on the skin.
Actually, these hard lines were evenly distributed within the muscles and bones, initially seeming to naturally be there, as they increased, they turned from lines to patches, once causing difficulty in Nie Xuan’s movent, requiring props and instrunts for daily life assistance. When these crystalline-like entities began growing onto the other leg, he even sniffed the scent of death.
Fortunately, misfortune turned into fortune; after suitable treatnt, his legs regained normal functionality, but those scattered crystal fragnts connected, appearing like Lawrence Lee’s Spatial Ray, becoming sothing that looked like transparent crystals made of diamond-shaped blocks.
Nie Xuan’s legs may still retain so human skin, but overall, they have actually turned into a thickened version of Spatial Ray, and of course, it’s the exclusive dazzling version owned by super player Lawrence Lee.
Regardless of the pain these rough "Crystal Legs" brought him, when faced with the Ti Ray just now, those legs saved him; also, as they were perated by the Ti Ray, small holes were left on the foot surface—these holes are hard to spot with the naked eye, but they made so diamond-shaped crystal pieces show cracks, and traces beca visible at once.
Nie Xuan can still feel faint pain, although the Ti Ray did not cause other impacts; it seems the collision between the two forces offsetting resulted in the current circumstance, but he cannot be sure whether this protection will cover his entire body, so he must use instrunts to probe the general areas, avoiding places where readings fluctuate strongly on the instrunts before moving his legs cautiously.
As he steps slowly, he doesn’t forget to check on Xu Huo’s condition. No feedback from the Special Defense Departnt there; Xu Huo himself hasn’t replied either, but earlier, there was a random movent of a Spatial Body, indicating he’s still here.
With ti ticking, Nie Xuan, who initially led the way, gradually fell behind. Not to ntion avoiding the floating Spatial Bodies, even aiming for a straight path, preliminary analysis and inching forward are not fast either, so their positions gradually shifted.
Xu Huo carries "Angel’s Eye," unlocking the Spiritual World, even allowing Ti Ray to be visualized within his spiritual power domain. Given Ti Ray itself isn’t dense, and rarely abruptly assaults, his journey is relatively relaxed.
On the segnt of the Nine Great Divine Paths, he randomly viewed so past images, but didn’t find much useful information; mostly believers and local residents expounding the prowess of the Divine Eye and Divine Envoy to the later-co curious outsiders. As for what’s great about them, it’s still the old three: healing diseases, revealing truth and falsehood, reversing aging.
Of these three effects, aside from reversing aging being sowhat challenging, the other two are not difficult for players, while the so-called reverse aging, after seeing Baoyu’s corpse, Xu Huo dared not assuredly claim it’s impossible.
After the initial shock, calming down, he gradually explored a hint of possibility that aging instantly is actually just ti advancing faster on the person. Players might enter and exit ga zones with differing ti speeds, such as Base W37 City, spending a month there equals to seven days in E27. Due to the hard rule in the ga necessitating entering an instance monthly, so instances that require prolonged completion obviously conflict, resulting in such ti changes.
But returning doesn’t an reversing aging; the ti spent on a person doesn’t change; living as long as within the instance is just that, ti rely being a asurent tool.
Yet from this perspective, to E27, when returning from Base W37 City, isn’t one suddenly older by a month? Maybe Ti Ray operates similarly.
However, reversing aging ans ti going backward, which seems impossible from any angle of understanding, but if truly achievable, perhaps it would be the ultimate pursuit for soone like Dr. Wu.
