Chapter 369 Optimizing Void-Level Treasures! Virtual Universe Upgrade!
For the past ten years, Chen Yuan has stayed in the Wulong Star Region to process these remains and hasn't gone anywhere else.
Meanwhile, the nine star regions were constantly collecting the debris from each star region and piling up the World Rings together, waiting for Chen Yuan to receive them.
The collection efficiency in the nine star regions is basically the same. It took three years to collect one-third of the debris. Now, ten years later, all the debris in these places has been packed up by the staff.
Now, these nine star regions are empty. Chen Yuan heard that these star regions will be transformed into secret realms to provide habitats for the human race.
As for what to do about the new waste generated on future battlefields outside the region? In fact, Giant Axe had mentioned it to Chen Yuan over the past few years.
This means that since these wreckages are useful to him, all the "garbage" generated on the battlefields outside the region will be sent to him in the future, treating him as a new recycling station, and a highly efficient, clean, and pollution-free one at that.
Chen Yuan had no objection to this, and even said he would accept all comers.
Because no matter what kind of remains or the corpses of other races they are, they can all be transformed into pure primordial energy in his hands.
Of course, even if new debris is found later, its quantity and scale will certainly not be comparable to what we have now.
According to Chen Yuan's estimate, given the current intensity of the war, it might not be possible to collect enough fragments of a World Ring in an entire era, and such fragments would be negligible to him.
So although he agreed, he didn't actually have any expectations. Right now, what was most important to him was definitely all the debris from the nine star regions.
After leaving the palace prepared for him by the Wulong Starfield, Chen Yuan teleported directly to the warehouse where the remains were stored, and in the same manner, he collected all the remaining world rings.
"I'll take these wreckage with me. I need to rush to several other star systems to collect them. I'll leave the cleanup work in the Wulong Star System to you."
After exchanging a few words with the local administrator, the Demon Venerable, Chen Yuan left without looking back.
Instead of using optimized spatial teleportation, he chose to teleport away, since he had never been to the other eight junk star systems and therefore did not leave any corresponding beacons.
However, these junk star systems are adjacent to each other and not far apart, only a few million light-years apart.
Chen Yuan can easily traverse thousands of light-years with a single teleportation, and his Soul Devouring Beast clone can traverse tens of thousands of light-years in one go.
Even if you teleport hundreds of times in a row, it won't take much time at all; it's much faster than traveling through the dark universe in a spaceship.
A short while later, Chen Yuan arrived at the second garbage star field.
This time, he didn't announce his arrival in a grand manner. He simply teleported silently to the warehouse where the wreckage was stored and took all the stored world rings through his access privileges.
From entering the star field to taking the wreckage and leaving, the entire process took less than an hour, and no one sensed his presence during that time. If Chen Yuan hadn't specifically informed the star field's administrators of this matter before leaving, they probably would have thought the wreckage had been stolen.
In less than a day, Chen Yuan had traveled all over the nine star regions and taken away all the debris stored there.
After that, he returned to the original secret realm through optimized spatial teleportation. After all, it's more comfortable to cultivate in seclusion in familiar territory.
Thanks to the increased proficiency in the secret technique, the maximum range of the "milky white light cluster" in the third-level Primordial Hand has expanded considerably compared to the first level. Compared to ten years ago, the efficiency of energy conversion has almost doubled.
Therefore, with the time boost from the Primordial Palace, Chen Yuan only spent 120 years to complete the conversion of all the remnants of the nine star regions.
The reason why the efficiency was faster than expected was because the proficiency of the Primordial Hand also improved significantly during this period.
Unfortunately, for each level of the Primordial Hand, the energy required to increase the same proficiency increases a hundredfold.
Furthermore, the efficiency for converting lower-order substances is only one-tenth.
This also means that Chen Yuanguang, who is cultivating the first level of the Primordial Hand, needs 5000 billion units of primordial energy to reach perfection, while the requirement for the second level to reach perfection has risen to 50 trillion units.
As for the third tier? It requires a terrifying 5000 trillion to reach perfection!
Therefore, even though Chen Yuan accumulated nearly 30 trillion units of primordial energy over the past 120 years, he could only barely raise the Primordial Hand to about 60% of the third level.
To cultivate it to perfection, you would need to convert another 20 quadrillion units of primordial energy. Of course, if you were to use Void True God-level materials corresponding to the third-level secret technique, then only 200 trillion units would be needed.
"I must be crazy to think that two hundred trillion is a small amount."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. "The Primordial Hand becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as you progress. The exponential increase is terrifying."
"But the effect is really good, it completely solves the problem of insufficient optimization energy."
He opened the panel and looked at the bottom layer.
[Original Energy: 3109 trillion; Current Primordial Spirit Absorption Efficiency: 2018 billion/year]
"With so much energy, I only need 100 trillion to optimize one Void True God-level secret treasure. This is enough for me to optimize 31 of them."
Chen Yuan blinked. "However, if we only optimize one treasure, we can only upgrade it to level 11, grade 7."
"etc."
He suddenly realized, "If you calculate it this way, these 30 trillion primordial energies don't seem like much at all? They can't even be optimized into a level nine Void Treasure."
"If I wanted to wear level 9 gear from head to toe, when would I ever be able to get it?"
However, Chen Yuan thought again that he probably didn't need so many Void God level treasures in the Primordial Universe region.
Or rather, most of his equipment only needs to be optimized to level 11.
Defensive treasures like the Primordial Palace and the Heavenly Light Battle Armor, when upgraded to the eleventh level, mean they possess the ability to withstand attacks from Void Gods.
But the upper limit of the entire universe is only a true god.
Even a Beast of the Realm must reach the fifth rank or above for its peak attack to be comparable to a Void God.
This level of attack also cannot break through these defensive void treasures.
"Therefore, my next optimization will only focus on offensive Arcana items. As for defensive and other types, upgrading them to Void level will be sufficient."
Unlike defense, the need for offense is endless.
The higher the level of the offensive treasure, the greater the potential power that Chen Yuan can unleash.
"Then let's focus on optimizing the Azure Sky Sword first. With my current reserves, I can upgrade it to the eleventh tier, level seven, and still have three hundred trillion energy left."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "With the remaining energy, we can optimize it into three more Void-level treasures. Let's name them the Primordial Palace, the Ring of the Primordial Realm, and the Mirror of Polishing Light."
These three treasures are a flying palace, an primordial treasure, and a domain treasure, respectively, which can significantly enhance Chen Yuan's survivability and primordial absorption speed.
Especially the Primal Realm Ring.
This treasure is currently only at level 3 of the tenth rank, and its speed of absorbing origin is too slow.
Not only is the efficiency of absorbing optimized energy far from sufficient, but even ordinary energy cannot supply the growth of the Nine Nether Sea. "There is a hundredfold difference between the Void level and the True God level. Theoretically, the Void level Origin Realm Ring can increase the source absorption speed by a hundredfold, but that is only the theoretical limit."
"In reality, due to the limitations of my primordial spirit's strength, it's very difficult for me to reach my limit."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, "I don't expect to increase efficiency a hundredfold, I would be grateful if it could be increased tenfold."
He can only absorb 200 billion units of primordial energy per year now, and it would take him 220,000 years to optimize a level nine Void Treasure.
If the Void-level Primal Realm Ring could increase efficiency tenfold, then Chen Yuan's speed of accumulating primordial energy could barely keep up with his own improvement.
It was for this reason that he chose the Primal Realm Ring as one of the options for this optimization, instead of the Silver Sea Boots, a time-space treasure.
As for the Heavenly Armor and the Primordial Soul? Of course, it's because these two pieces of equipment also involve the 'Power of the Calamity Armor' and the 'Power of the Primordial Soul,' which are related to Chen Yuan's basic combat strength.
He wouldn't waste precious optimization attempts to upgrade these two pieces of equipment until he had thoroughly understood these technologies.
"Then it's settled. Qingxiao will be optimized to Void Level 7, and Shiyuan Palace, Yuanjie Ring, and Zhuoguang Mirror will be optimized to Void Level 1, which is exactly 3100 trillion energy."
Thanks to the Star Tower and the Nameless Sword Embryo, Chen Yuan has now deciphered some of the data of the Eternal True God level. With a huge data reserve, optimizing some Void-level treasures is a piece of cake.
Because of this information, the optimization path of Qingxiao Sword and Shiyuan Palace at the Void level has been unimpeded, and there is no fear of insufficient information even if they are optimized to the ninth level of the Void.
Of course, given Chen Yuan's current energy reserves, he couldn't afford such a luxurious act.
After placing all the optimization tasks for these four treasures into the simulation space (a temporary task bar can be opened by consuming energy), Chen Yuan first notified the administrators of the Primal Secret Realm to remove all the World Rings that had previously stored the debris from the Garbage Starfield.
Well, considering that rings from such advanced worlds are not easy to manufacture, he didn't refine them. After all, these rings are only fifth-tier items, and they don't have much energy in total.
However, the production of World Rings is quite complicated. The ones Chen Yuan has are even temporarily transferred from the five major powers, occupying a lot of inventory. If he destroys them all, he can at least increase the price of World Rings several times in the future.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not keep the rings, but handed them over to the secret realm management personnel, trusting that they would know how to handle them.
After doing all this, Chen Yuan had a thought and arrived in the virtual universe—his own.
"Irene!"
"Master, I'm here."
Hearing the call, Irele quickly appeared, blinked, and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"
"I have optimized the virtual universe secret technique to the level of a Void True God, and now I am preparing to upgrade the virtual universe according to the new secret technique."
Chen Yuan said, "I need to perfect the origin of the virtual universe and restructure the virtual world. Can you help me?"
"A Void-level arcane technique?!" Ireil's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "No problem, what does Master need me to do?"
"Your computing power is needed to perfect the origin of the virtual universe."
Chen Yuan said, "At the same time, I will input the new architecture into the source code. After you learn it, you can start modifying the existing architecture."
"The work of processing the primordial universe data can be put on hold for now. Both you and I need 100% computing power to complete the virtual universe upgrade in a short period of time."
"Once the secret technique is upgraded, you can deal with the backlog of data."
"Understood." Irele nodded. "I have reclaimed all computing power and granted the master full access to computing power."
"Let's begin then."
Chen Yuan directly merged into the origin of the virtual universe. He first transmitted the contents of the Void-level secret technique into the origin, and then began to modify the existing origin according to the requirements of the secret technique.
This is a long process, after all, it involves upgrading the origin of a true god to the void level, and the workload is definitely not small.
Fortunately, with the support of Irene's computing power, Chen Yuan was able to adjust the origin of the universe at an extremely fast speed, with a thinking speed hundreds of thousands of times faster.
Meanwhile, Ireil also readjusted the architecture of the virtual universe according to the secret method. This was also a tedious task, but with the support of all the computing power she had regained, Ireil was still making adjustments at an extremely fast speed.
Time flies, and 150 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Yuan has completed most of his work, but Irene has already completed the adjustment of the universe structure ahead of him.
"Master, my mission is complete. I'm transferring the excess computing power to you."
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded, feeling his thoughts double again, and began to adjust the origin of the universe more efficiently. Finally, fifty years later, he completed the upgrade of the origin of the universe.
Today's virtual universe, combined with a brand-new cosmic architecture, has reached a new level of quality compared to before.
"It's done."
Chen Yuan exited the state of merging with the origin and couldn't help but rub his head. Working continuously at this high-intensity mental speed for two hundred years had taken a toll on his soul.
After regaining his composure, he instructed, "Irele, sense the current virtual universe and see if there are any changes."
"Yes, Master."
Irene closed her eyes and began a comprehensive scan of the virtual universe.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her face beaming with joy: "Master, the virtual universe has indeed changed quite a bit."
"Tell me about it," Chen Yuan asked with great interest.
"Compared to the secret techniques of true gods, the current virtual universe has undergone three changes."
Irene held up three fingers: "First, the growth rate has increased. The upgrade speed of the virtual universe has now reached ten times that of before."
"But correspondingly, the proficiency level of the secret technique has dropped back to the 'beginner' stage, and it needs to be upgraded again."
At this point, she added, "Of course, even the beginner level is stronger than the previous 'proficient' level, because the strength of our virtual universe has not degenerated, but its upper limit has been raised."
"I understand," Chen Yuan nodded. "Go on."
"Secondly, my autonomous evolution speed has been accelerated, and this acceleration is a hundred times faster than before!"
Ireil blinked. "Master, at my current rate of evolution, I should be able to break through to the level of a Universe Lord in about five hundred years at most."
"At that time, my computing power will increase a hundredfold, and the evolution speed of the virtual universe will also skyrocket."
