Free Web NovelChapter 77: Chapter 77: Tadpole Script on the Blood-Colored Mucous Membrane
"The core of the Bloody Clan has two key locations. One is the heart, which serves as the source of power. Through a specific method, it can produce an Extraordinary energy called Blood Force."
"The second is the brain. It’s not just the central control organ for the Blood Force, but also the region where the complete legacy is sealed away."
"However, because the brain needs to coordinate with the Spirit, it can only be considered half of the equation. The other half resides within the Spirit."
After adapting to the Viral Bloodline Armament module, Qi Suian began dissecting Yu Qing, quickly grasping the fundamental principles of his talent.
"Because the source of power is the heart, the origin of the Blood Force is the blood itself, and it can travel throughout the entire body via the blood vessels."
"This is why Yu Qing could so easily control the Blood Force. Additionally, each time the Blood Force circulates through his blood vessels, it slightly strengthens his physique."
"As for the enhancement of his Spirit, that’s a result of the Blood Force strengthening his brain."
’So, what is it that I need?’ freewebnøvel.coɱ
Qi Suian definitely wasn’t after the Blood Force. That stuff would be useless even if he transplanted the other man’s heart into his own body.
It had to be used in conjunction with the brain and its corresponding legacy.
If he were to turn it into a module, that might be possible. Perhaps Qi Suian could enable the Tai Sui God to acquire Blood Force, but the problem was that not only was it unnecessary, it would do more harm than good.
The Blood Force conflicted with the Profound Virus in his body. And his Tai Sui God was already equipped with two Profound Virus-related modules: the Seal of the Profound Dominator and the Viral Bloodline Armament.
If he really tried to load Blood Force on top of that, it was unlikely to strengthen him and would instead just drag him down.
"That rules out the heart, so it must be the brain." Qi Suian’s gaze fell upon Yu Qing’s brain. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The cerebral cortex was protected by a layer of blood-colored mucus, and from time to time, strange, tadpole-like glyphs would surface on it.
He couldn’t make heads or tails of them, anyway.
And it was this blood-colored mucus and these tadpole-like glyphs that protected Yu Qing’s brain.
’It probably isn’t just for protecting the brain. Its main function should be to prevent the legacy from leaking out.’
’Yu Qing couldn’t voluntarily reveal the legacy to others, either. The protective layer isn’t just for protection; it’s also a restriction.’
’Could this special protective layer be what I need?’
As for the legacy within the man’s brain, it was completely useless to Qi Suian. Without Blood Force, what good was a legacy?
It was just like the F-grade skill, Lowest-Tier Enchantment: Poison, that Qi Suian had acquired before. He had the knowledge, but without the corresponding Extraordinary energy and materials, it was still just useless junk.
So, his focus could only be on this protective layer.
’Is it meant for me to directly seal the consciousness hidden within Celestial Fate: Profound... No, that’s the wrong way to use it.’
’Aside from protection and restriction, if a more powerful entity tried to forcibly extract the legacy from the brain, this special protective layer would immediately self-destruct.’
’And that self-destruction would take the brain, Spirit, and other related derivatives along with it, not just the legacy.’
’So the real use is to wrap this protective layer around the consciousness hidden in Celestial Fate: Profound, then deliberately trigger its self-destruct. The layer, in its attempt to protect the "secret," would take the consciousness from Celestial Fate: Profound with it to the grave.’
’If the one who knows the secret is dead, then the secret can’t be leaked.’
’A very logical application.’
Qi Suian had never imagined that a restrictive seal, like the ones in fantasy or cultivation stories used to prevent Cultivation Techniques and secret manuals from being leaked, could also be used as a weapon.
Its original purpose was for security, but he was going to use it as a bomb.
’The idea is pretty good, but the question is... how do I study it?’
When it came to the protective layer in the man’s brain, Qi Suian couldn’t say he knew nothing, but it was certainly something he had never seen before.
’Even if I figure out the principles, how do I apply it?’
’That "protagonist halo" thing is as ethereal as luck—you can’t see it, you can’t touch it, and there’s no way to interact with it.’
’Unless...’
Qi Suian looked at the Tai Sui God.
’If I’m not mistaken, I turn it into a module?’
An SSS-grade module was certainly no match for the X-grade talent, Celestial Fate: Profound. But Qi Suian wasn’t fighting Celestial Fate: Profound itself, but rather the consciousness hidden within it.
The two couldn’t be lumped together.
If one were to name the master of this talent, it should be Qi Suian. The consciousness was merely a remnant of a bygone era.
So with his cooperation, the chances of success were not small, especially since Celestial Fate: Profound was still helping him.
If he didn’t turn it into a module, even if he managed to figure it out, he would have no chance of success.
After all, how could he attack an enemy whose location he didn’t even know?
’I’ll have to take a gamble. The situation is already what it is.’ Qi Suian didn’t really have many other solutions.
’Ever since the Blood Moon started gearing up for an Earth-Moon impact, it’s just been one trouble after another.’
He still hadn’t figured out a solution for the Blood Moon Shadow on him.
It was just that its priority was less urgent than dealing with his Celestial Fate: Profound first.
After all, as long as he left this world, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Blood Moon.
But as long as the problem with Celestial Fate: Profound remained unresolved, it would be a permanent hidden danger.
’Protagonists really do get special treatment, their luck maxed out, but blessings and curses go hand in hand...’
’You get a free lunch, and you pay for it with the most vicious of schemes.’
Qi Suian felt he had seen through it all. He just hoped that after leaving this world, without this world’s support, his Celestial Fate: Profound wouldn’t cause him so much trouble.
As for the Blood Moon crashing into the planet’s surface before the final day, Qi Suian wasn’t too worried about that.
Given the moon’s mass, without external interference, it wouldn’t smash the entire planet to bits. So, as long as he reached the opposite hemisphere from the impact point before the collision, surviving for a day wouldn’t be a problem.
Even if the planet was smashed to pieces, the Tai Sui God’s expedition-grade ecological circulation system could ensure Qi Suian’s survival in space.
And if that didn’t work, it would just be a cycle of death and resurrection until time ran out.
Therefore, aside from the consciousness within Celestial Fate: Profound, the Blood Moon Shadow was his biggest problem.
That’s why Qi Suian almost hoped the Blood Moon would shatter the planet he was on. Then all the other survivors would have to die.
For Qi Suian, this would be a fantastic turn of events.
’Wait a minute... the Blood Moon has come alive, right?’
’Does that mean it has corresponding emotions and desires? If I find a way to provoke it, could I maybe get it to put in a little extra effort and shatter the entire planet?’
Qi Suian’s thoughts immediately began to run wild.
[Deviation in thought process detected. Initiating deactivation command...]
The moment he had that thought, the AI directly initiated his deactivation, and he died on the spot.
After Qi Suian revived, he instantly understood that this was not something he should be thinking about right now.
It seemed he had pushed the consciousness within Celestial Fate: Profound too far, which was why it had "lowered his intelligence."
And "lowering intelligence" had more uses than just reducing one’s IQ.
