In the secret chamber.
Lu Li attempts to construct an "energy black hole" within his body.
Strands of energy are mobilized, gathering into his limbs and bones, forming a galaxy-like shape.
Immediately, he forcefully compresses and squeezes this energy.
With the energy’s compression and squeeze, he feels a tremendous pressure building up inside, as if it’s about to explode at any moment.
"No, directly compressing the energy might make my physical body burst apart instantly."
Lu Li quickly slowed down his actions.
He wasn’t afraid of his body exploding; as long as his "will" remains, he could reform his body a thousand times over.
Lu Li fears that once his body explodes, it would cause an energy outburst.
By then, the full force of forty-five stars would erupt, not only destroying Earth, but also blasting the solar system apart.
"Haste makes waste. I need to compress the energy bit by bit, not squeeze it all at once."
Lu Li slowed down, allowing the energy to compress bit by bit.
Compressing energy isn’t the end goal; his real aim is to change the way energy is generated within him.
To achieve this, he must first let the energy undergo a qualitative change, and then use the transformed energy to construct an "energy black hole."
He concentrates wholeheartedly on compressing the energy.
Finally, a portion of the energy is compressed into a rather dense mass.
At this moment, Lu Li focuses his control as much as possible on the compressed energy.
Then he diverts his attention to mobilize other uncompressed energy, repeating the previous operation.
Time passes bit by bit.
About an hour later.
He has completed the compression of the energy of one star.
The speed isn’t fast, but it’s stable.
Lu Li is in no hurry and continues to repeat the previous steps.
Gradually, another hour passes.
He completes the compression of the energy of another star.
By now, Lu Li has compressed the energy of two stars.
The "density" of this energy is so high that if he’s not careful, it will burst forth, so he must focus more on control to prevent accidents.
Three stars worth of energy.
Ten stars worth of energy.
After twenty-four hours, he completes the compression of the energy of twenty-four stars.
Though it’s his first time initiating qualitative change in energy, he had simulated the process before and knew roughly what to do, so the qualitative change happened without any mishaps.
At this point, Lu Li’s control over the compressed energy is nearly at its limit.
"No, I can’t continue compressing energy. If I keep adding high-density energy, I might lose control and create a terrible catastrophe."
Lu Li now faces a dilemma: either abandon the remaining twenty-one or two stars’ worth of energy in his physical body and use just the current compressed energy to construct the "energy black hole," or risk compressing the remaining energy, which could mean pulling the solar system into destruction if anything goes wrong.
Well, only the solar system would be destroyed; he himself wouldn’t be harmed.
At most, his current body would explode, and his "will" would absorb energy to reform his body anew.
"Although my physical body isn’t precious, my family and friends all live within the solar system. I cannot be so selfish as to endanger them."
Lu Li takes a deep breath and ultimately decides to forgo the remaining twenty-one or two stars’ worth of energy in his body, opting to construct the "energy black hole" with the compressed twenty-four stars’ worth of energy he has.
With this in mind, he unhesitatingly uses his "Yang Spirit" avatar skill.
Three "Yang Spirit" avatars materialize instantly, each taking away the energy of seven stars.
Once the uncompressed energy is expelled from his body, he begins to mobilize the densely compressed energy, attempting to construct a black hole shape.
A black hole’s typical form consists of an event horizon and an accretion disk.
The event horizon is a spherical spatial region from which light cannot escape.
Thus, visually, a black hole appears as a black disk.
The immense gravity of a black hole causes surrounding matter to form an accretion disk.
This accretion disk forms a high-temperature disk-shaped object around the black hole, emitting thermal radiation outward.
Normally, a black hole forms first, followed by the emergence of an event horizon and accretion disk.
Lu Li, constructing an "energy black hole" within himself, follows a different course than a natural celestial phenomenon.
He must use his energy to construct the "event horizon" and "accretion disk."
Once these two "devices" are in place, he can construct a true "energy black hole."
He had simulated how to construct the "event horizon" and "accretion disk" before, so he knows what he needs to do.
Lu Li mobilizes some energy to create a spherical spatial region.
This region within his body is considered "absolute vacuum."
Though the process is simple, it consumes a lot of energy.
Lu Li uses up roughly three stars’ worth of energy to construct the "event horizon."
After constructing the "event horizon," he gathers energy once again to gradually construct the "accretion disk."
This step is challenging because the "accretion disk" is not the "flat disk" observed by humans.
Its appearance is due to the strong gravitational effects of the black hole bending light, causing the far side of the disk to be lifted up, creating the look of a "hat" on the black hole.
The hardest part for Lu Li in constructing an "energy black hole" inside his body is the "accretion disk."
Normally, a black hole forms first, then the "accretion disk" forms naturally; he, however, must do the opposite - create the "accretion disk," then draw in the remaining energy for final compression, allowing him to possibly generate a "micro black hole" level "energy black hole" within himself.
