Chapter 71: Chapter 68: The Function of [Universal Phenomena]

“Crack, crack, crack, crack~!”

The Red Lotus, formed by Myriad Phenomena, spiraled into the air, hovering above the palm of the game character.

[Hint: The Divine Machine Myriad Phenomena wishes to recognize you as its master. Do you agree?]

[Yes], [No].

“Ah, is it that humanized? Asking for consent before recognizing a master?”

Lin Qianxuan’s expression was somewhat subtle, then he clicked [Yes].

In an instant, Myriad Phenomena turned into a red light, rushing straight to the game character’s forehead, then dispersing upon collision.

[Hint: Myriad Phenomena has successfully recognized its master.]

[Hint: You can view the Myriad Phenomena summary attributes through your thoughts.]

“View with thoughts?”

Lin Qianxuan skeptically typed a line.

(View Myriad Phenomena attributes.)

Name: Myriad Phenomena.

Type: Divine Machine.

Function: [Swallowing Filth: Absorb filthy energy and convert it into Spiritual Essence.]

Function: [Myriad Phenomena: Consume Spiritual Essence to simulate the appearance and function of a Divine Machine. The more complex the Divine Machine, the more Spiritual Essence is consumed. Only one Illusionary Artifact form can be maintained at a time, but Divine Machine effects can be simultaneously possessed.]

Function: [Rebirth: Consume Spiritual Essence to reinforce the functions of Myriad Phenomena’s Divine Machine.]

Function: [Collaboration: Upon formally recognizing a master, Myriad Phenomena will bind with the user’s Primordial Spirit, sharing life and death, with mutual understanding, and may enter and be stored in the Purple Mansion.]

Spiritual Essence: None.

[Current Illusionary Artifact: None.]

Looking at this summary, Lin Qianxuan pondered deeply.

So, the Myriad Phenomena Divine Machine can simulate and transform all Divine Machines?

[Gongsun Ying (looking at you): Sir Lin, what happened? Are you alright?]

Her first concern was not the disappearance of the Myriad Phenomena Divine Machine, but whether the game character would be injured because of it.

The characteristic of maxed-out affection was directly evident.

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking head): It’s alright, but I think I know how to use Myriad Phenomena now.]

[Gongsun Ying (confused): Sir Lin, did you activate Myriad Phenomena?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Yes, it has recognized me as its master. Can I ask Miss Ying to let me see your sword?]

[Gongsun Ying (nodding, handing you the sword): Sir Lin, what do you intend to do? Does it involve Myriad Phenomena?]

The game character took Gongsun Ying’s sword.

This was a long blade resembling a Miao Blade, with a narrow and long blade, allowing a wider attack range.

Lin Qianxuan typed a line accordingly.

(Let Myriad Phenomena simulate the sword.)

[You tried to use Myriad Phenomena to simulate Gongsun Ying’s Divine Machine, but it failed due to the lack of Spiritual Essence.]

“Tsk, unclear input commands can only execute single commands.” Lin Qianxuan said somewhat helplessly.

Although he let the game character control Myriad Phenomena to simulate this Divine Machine, he also wanted him to use Myriad Phenomena to absorb filthy energy to obtain Spiritual Essence first.

(Control Myriad Phenomena to absorb filthy energy and convert it to Spiritual Essence.)

Now the command began to execute.

The game character stood in place, as a vast amount of filthy energy around began to gather and was absorbed.

This scene caused everyone’s expressions to drastically change.

The members of the Rebel Army were about to step forward, but Gongsun Ying stopped them.

[Gongsun Ying (reaching out to stop everyone): Sir Lin is using the Myriad Phenomena Divine Machine to purify the filthy energy.]

Although not entirely accurate, it was generally correct.

[After absorbing a certain amount of filthy energy, the Myriad Phenomena Divine Machine has converted it into one Spiritual Essence.]

[The Myriad Phenomena converted one Spiritual Essence.]

[The Myriad Phenomena converted one Spiritual Essence.]

…..

After the same hint appeared about a hundred times, Lin Qianxuan began new operation commands.

(Use Myriad Phenomena to simulate Gongsun Ying’s sword.)

[You tried to use Myriad Phenomena to simulate Gongsun Ying’s Divine Machine, but it failed due to the lack of Spiritual Essence.]

“Ah, a hundred Spiritual Essences are still not enough? How many are needed then?”

Lin Qianxuan was puzzled.

Fortunately, apart from some possibilities, the amount of filthy energy was almost inexhaustible here.

So Lin Qianxuan let Myriad Phenomena convert another hundred Spiritual Essences.

The result was still insufficient.

He continued.

Repeated operations until, with eight hundred Spiritual Essences, the game character successfully executed the simulation.

[You consumed seven hundred fifty-five Spiritual Essences and simulated Gongsun Ying’s sword [Glorious Light].]

At this moment, an additional sword appeared in the hands of the game character.

The sword was almost identical in shape to Gongsun Ying’s sword, but hers was the normal color of a sword, while the game character’s sword was red.

(View Myriad Phenomena attributes.)

In an instant, the attributes of Myriad Phenomena were revealed.

Among them, the number of Spiritual Essences changed to [Forty-Five].

And the current Illusionary Artifact section changed to [Glorious Light].

Current Illusionary Artifact: Glorious Light.

Function: [Qi Condensation: Gather and release the divine energy injected within.]

“So, is this the function of Gongsun Ying’s Divine Machine Weapon? No wonder her sword qi feels so strong,” Lin Qianxuan murmured.

Speaking of which, he had seen quite a few Divine Machines along the way.

Whether it was [Shared Lifespan] which brought game characters into this world, Gongsun Yue’s [Rebirth], Prince Purple Bamboo’s [Bamboo Crane], and that [War God Armor Body], the various Divine Machines within the Divine Strategy Tower, or Xiong De’s Water-Drop Meteor Hammer…

However, among those Divine Machines, only the [War God Armor Body] piqued Lin Qianxuan’s interest a bit, but it was too large to carry around, and it also had the function of automatically attacking enemies, making it quite unusable.

Among other Divine Machines, only Gongsun Yue’s [Rebirth] had some auxiliary function that might be helpful.

Aside from that, even Xiong De’s Water-Drop Meteor Hammer was useless.

It was too cumbersome, and before use, one had to shake it to accumulate energy, which was far less convenient than game characters’ pure water stream condensation.

Moreover, Lin Qianxuan wasn’t accustomed to the combat system of the Divine Machines.

This was also the reason Lin Qianxuan hadn’t let the game characters use Divine Machines during his journey.

But now things were different.

With unlimited divine energy and having Myriad Phenomena to enhance these Divine Machines’ functions,

what remained was just a matter of wielding immense force.

Lin Qianxuan issued a command, instructing the game character to use the Myriad Phenomena Illusion’s radiance to strike the open ground with all its might.

The game character infused a large amount of divine energy into the weapon in hand, adding a tinge of red glow.

The character then slashed down fiercely, releasing a massive, concentrated sword qi that flew towards the sky and vanished without a trace.

This sword qi was far more powerful than the sword qi of Gongsun Ying in a bursting qi state.

The degree of its concentration and intensity was visibly stronger.

[Gongsun Ying (astonished): Young Master Lin, is this the function of Myriad Phenomena?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Yes, it has the ability to simulate all kinds of Divine Machines, but it requires absorbing filth to do so.]

[Gongsun Ying (realizing): No wonder Professor Wang calls it Myriad Phenomena; it’s aptly named indeed.]

Subsequently, Lin Qianxuan had the game character return [Radiance] to Gongsun Ying and continued to manipulate Myriad Phenomena to absorb filth.

Being at the core of the filth outbreak, Myriad Phenomena absorbed the filth with ease.

In no time, Myriad Phenomena had absorbed and transformed more than a thousand spiritual essences.

Lin Qianxuan let the game character find the three squad commanders.

He intended to simulate their weapons using these thousands of spiritual essences.

Liu Qingqing’s Divine Machine Weapon was the easiest to simulate; her weapon was called [White Snake], a long whip, with Myriad Phenomena consuming two hundred and sixty-five spiritual essences to simulate.

It could transform into a white python about as thick as an adult’s neck to bite people.

Current Illusionary Artifact: White Snake.

Function: [Poisonous Bite: When divine energy is injected, the white snake whip can transform into a white snake to bite enemies, causing them to be poisoned and bleed incessantly.]

Next was Shen Hongshan’s Divine Machine Weapon.

His weapon was called [Celestial Wolf], a large blade, consuming five hundred and forty-two spiritual essences in simulation.

In use, it could summon a gigantic wolf, about two zhangs* long, covered in flames, to attack the target.

Current Illusionary Artifact: Celestial Wolf.

Function: [Wolf Bite: Summon a flame wolf to devour the target.]

Shen Hongshan’s strength was the strongest among the three squad commanders.

Lastly, Lou Zheng.

During the simulation of Lou Zheng’s weapon, spiritual essences were running low, so Lin Qianxuan had the game character use Myriad Phenomena to absorb more filth and transform it into spiritual essences.

Only then did they simulate Lou Zheng’s weapon.

Lou Zheng’s Divine Machine Weapon was called [Hidden Blade], a knife, consuming very little in simulation, just two hundred and forty-two spiritual essences.

Yet its function was deemed most suitable for the game character by Lin Qianxuan.

Current Illusionary Artifact: Hidden Blade.

Function: [Qi Nourishing: Inject divine energy to store within the blade, with a limit being the maximum the Divine Machine can bear, transforming into a qi blade for a full release on use.]

The divine energy that Lou Zheng’s weapon could bear was surely very limited, given its material, estimated to be just a third-rate Divine Machine.

Moreover, he also needed to cultivate himself, so it was impossible for him to inject all his divine energy into the weapon, given the frequent battles he encountered, the “Qi Nourishing” function for him was probably just a trump card.

But the game character was different.

Their divine energy was almost limitless.

Moreover, the material of Myriad Phenomena was the Emperor’s Armor from the days of Emperor Shenwu, and its [Hidden Blade] transformation’s divine energy capacity far exceeded imagination.

Didn’t it take non-stop divine energy input from Gongsun Ying for a year just to activate this Divine Machine?

Even without enhancements, the increase in the game character’s combat power was extraordinarily remarkable.

This made Lin Qianxuan understand a principle.

A seemingly weak Divine Machine may well produce excellent results with Myriad Phenomena.

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan continued to let the game character manipulate Myriad Phenomena to absorb filth and simulate the effects of other Divine Machines possessed by the Rebel Army.

Among them were long-range weapons like bows and arrows, and melee weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds.

Even Armor Bodies could be simulated included.

Myriad Phenomena added more than a hundred functions in one go.

Although most of these functions belonged to weapon reinforcement and increasing sharpness attributes, which were common effects, some proved to be quite useful.

For example, Lou Zheng’s bow called [Falling Goose].

This bow could condense divine energy into arrows, allowing them to track targets within a certain range.

Current Illusionary Artifact: Falling Goose.

Function: [Tracking: Once a target is locked, the arrows will track the target within a certain range until kinetic energy is exhausted.]

Lin Qianxuan pondered whether the “Tracking” function, combined with the “Qi Nourishing” function, could directly release an ultimate tracking arrow.

If possible, Myriad Phenomena as a Divine Machine would be unimaginably powerful.

If functions coordinated well, the effect wasn’t simply a sum of one plus one but could result in a qualitative transformation!
