Chapter 367 Recycling the Waste Starfield! Comprehending the Laws of Fusion!
"The loss rate has decreased!"
When Chen Yuan's mastery of the Primordial Hand exceeded 10%, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the energy loss rate during energy conversion decreased from 50% to 45%.
Similarly, the additional consumption for material creation also decreased by 5%.
"I see."
Looking at the data on the panel, Chen Yuan said with delight, "10% proficiency will reduce conversion loss by 5%, which means that when the secret technique is perfected, it can reduce conversion loss by 50%."
"This means that a perfect-level Primordial Hand can absolutely achieve a perfect transformation."
Surprise!
If that's the case, then the Primordial Hand would be extremely powerful.
Just as he had initially envisioned, there would no longer be a shortage of optimized energy and various precious materials.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the secret technique needs to be mastered to perfection.
"If the degree of energy loss during conversion is related to the proficiency of the secret technique, then apart from the first level, the subsequent levels will most likely also be consumed at the same rate."
Chen Yuan thought to himself.
In other words, even though he has perfected the first level of cultivation, he can only perfectly convert materials below the tenth rank.
As for the conversion rate of tenth-tier materials, it will most likely start from 50% again until he completes the second level of the Primordial Hand.
Similarly, the cultivation of the third, fourth, and even higher levels should be the same as that of the first level.
"If that's the case, the Primordial Hand's future cultivation will inevitably suffer from energy depletion. Although the excess energy can be digested through the Nine Nether Sea now, what about later?"
These current avatars will need to be completely unified after he breaks through to the True God realm.
When the need for the Nine Nether Sea is eliminated, what can be done with that excess energy? At most, it can be stored in a small universe.
As for its use, Chen Yuan couldn't think of any use for it at the moment.
Upgrading a miniature universe? Absolutely not, because after becoming a True God, the upgrade of a miniature universe does not require additional energy.
Because the miniature universe is a gift from the source world to cultivators, as long as cultivators continue to improve, the source world will provide the miniature universe with the energy to expand free of charge, until it reaches the level of a god-king miniature universe.
"Since losses are unavoidable when converting to higher-level substances, could we use lower-level substances to increase the proficiency of the Primordial Hand first?"
"Once your proficiency increases and the wear and tear decreases to a tolerable level, then you can use higher-level materials to provide upgrade experience."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan took out a large number of materials below the ninth rank and used the Primordial Hand to decompose them one by one, converting them into primordial energy reserves.
After a while.
"Hmm...
Chen Yuan observed the changes in primal energy and the proficiency of the secret technique. "Nearly 50 million units of primal energy were converted, but the proficiency only increased by 0.01%. The efficiency of the improvement is only one-tenth that of ninth-tier materials."
"However, it seems that the Primordial Hand treats materials of lower rank equally. Under the same energy, the proficiency gained will not decrease due to the lower rank of the material. This is good news."
In other words, as long as the materials are below the current level of the arcane technique and the energy accumulation is sufficient, then regardless of the level of the materials used, the arcane technique proficiency provided will be one-tenth.
"Wait a minute." Chen Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Since I can improve my proficiency in secret techniques by perfectly converting low-level materials, what if I use energy to convert them into low-level substances?"
"This unlimited conversion is practically equivalent to gaining free arcane skill proficiency!!"
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan soon discovered that using the Primordial Hand to create low-level materials, no matter how much energy was consumed, would not increase his proficiency in the secret technique by a single point.
He also discovered that any matter created by the Primordial Hand, if converted into energy again, would not increase its proficiency.
"Well, it seems the White Plan has failed."
Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, but in reality, he didn't have high expectations.
Because if he could continuously transform without loss, wouldn't he be able to cultivate the Primordial Hand to the highest level in a very short time?
Such a high-level secret technique would obviously not leave such a loophole. This is just a confirmation of the conjecture, so although he was disappointed, he was not discouraged.
Just then, another idea flashed through Chen Yuan's mind: "But since it works to improve proficiency by converting low-level materials, I can also endlessly acquire ordinary materials to convert."
"No, I don't even need ordinary materials; I can just collect scrap!"
Chen Yuan's eyes brightened. He suddenly thought of the human race's infamous "Garbage Starfield," which was a collection of various debris and bodies generated over countless years in the outer battlefields. To the race, it was garbage that was difficult to recycle and had almost no value.
However, if one were to convert all of it into energy, it would certainly not be a small amount. After all, even the remains would be enough to fill nine star domains, and the materials would be at least of the fifth rank.
The Primordial Hand doesn't recognize remnants that are difficult for others to recycle; as long as they reach the corresponding quality, it can convert them into the corresponding primordial energy.
Normally, a fifth-tier finished item is worth 1 unit of primal energy. Materials are considered one-tenth of that, worth 0.1 units of energy. Even if the remains contain less energy, they are still worth at least 0.01 to 0.05 units of energy.
And how much of this debris is there? A full nine star systems!
It's important to know that the average size of a star field is about several million light-years, and the nine star fields combined are at least twenty to thirty million light-years apart!
Even though these remnants weren't completely crammed together, Chen Yuan had personally visited the "Wulong Starfield," one of the nine major garbage starfields, and knew that the density of garbage piled up there was quite high.
"This era of reincarnation is only a little over halfway through, less than four trillion epochs, while the four dominant races have been fighting for at least three trillion epochs!"
"Over such a long period of time, the accumulated debris is countless, and the race even needs to set aside nine star regions specifically to house it."
"In fact, these nine star regions were established gradually later. At the beginning, they probably didn't even need a single star system," Bei Chenyuan thought to himself. "Moreover, it is foreseeable that if the intensity of future inter-clan wars remains unchanged, these nine star regions will definitely be filled up again, thus forcing the creation of a tenth garbage star region."
The garbage from these nine star regions is like a chicken rib to the race—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
Because the cost of reprocessing these remains is too high, it's simply not worthwhile, but they can't be given directly to the alien race, so they have to keep them for now.
As a result, the garbage accumulated and occupied an increasingly larger area. The community didn't have any good solutions for this and could only arrange for people to keep an eye on it.
Now, Chen Yuan has his eye on this junk and is prepared to pay to buy it all.
"What?! You want to buy the nine garbage star systems?!"
In the virtual universe, the giant axe on the screen, upon hearing this news, murmured in surprise, "What do you need these star systems for?"
"No, actually I'm not interested in the star field," Chen Yuan shook his head. "I'm only interested in the accumulated debris inside."
"You want those wreckage?"
Upon hearing this, Giant Axe raised an eyebrow. "That's quite a lot, after all, it's accumulated over billions of epochs."
"It is precisely because of the sheer quantity that it is of some use to me."
"Do you have a way to reuse these remains?" Giant Axe's eyes lit up. If so many remains could be reused, the finished products could be worth no less than a dozen treasures.
"No." Chen Yuan shook his head, thought for a moment and explained, "I have a secret technique that requires a large number of remains, and there is no requirement for the quantity; I can use as many as I have."
"These remnants simply dissipate after I use them and cannot be reused, which is why I said I wanted to buy them."
"For this, I am willing to offer a supreme treasure of the pinnacle realm."
At this point, Chen Yuan smiled faintly, "After all, we can't let our people suffer losses."
"A supreme treasure of the pinnacle realm is worth far more than those remains."
Giant Axe gave Chen Yuan a deep look: "I won't let you suffer a loss. If you really want to buy, just offer a top-tier treasure, and it has to be a weapon."
"Haha, you don't need to think about saving me money." Chen Yuan laughed. "Over the years, I've practiced the art of refining treasures and produced quite a few practice pieces, and the lowest level of each is a top-tier treasure."
"If you ask me to produce a top-tier treasure, I'll have to go through the trouble of refining one myself. That's too much trouble."
"Huh—" Hearing this, even Giant Axe was speechless, and couldn't help but ask, "Just how many top-tier treasures have you forged?"
"Not many, only about a dozen pieces," Chen Yuan said truthfully.
In reality, he crafted mostly supreme treasures, and had already accumulated seven or eight finished pieces. Those peak treasures were just his initial practice pieces.
"More than a dozen top-tier treasures—" The giant axe was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll notify the higher-ups of the five major powers right away."
The nine garbage star regions are jointly managed by representatives from the five major powers, and there are many important positions involved, including no fewer than ten cosmic venerables who are in charge.
Now that Chen Yuan is about to take over these star regions, the five major powers naturally have to make arrangements for the placement of their staff and the reassignment of their management.
"Oh, and while you're at it, have them arrange for people to pack up and collect all the wreckage."
Chen Yuan added, "The starry sky spans tens of millions of light-years; it would take me forever to clean it all up by myself."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Giant Axe nodded. He was joking. After all, they had paid the price of a top-tier domain treasure, so of course he had to provide excellent service. As soon as the highest-ranking member of the human race gave the order, the universe lords of the five major powers received the news: the Primordial Lord was willing to offer a top-tier domain treasure to purchase all the remnants of the nine garbage star regions!
This is insane!
None of the higher-ups expected that this useless, worthless star region would actually be sold, and for such a high price, in the virtual universe of Thunder Island.
"Chen Yuan, you want to buy up all the garbage star regions?"
The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City arrived at Chen Yuan's residence immediately, wanting to ask him why he did this.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, exchanging a supreme treasure from the pinnacle of the realm for some seemingly useless remnants is simply the act of a madman.
In response, Chen Yuan used the same excuse as before, and then said with a smile, "Teacher, Senior Uncle, please rest assured, when have you ever seen me do a losing business?"
"The remnants of these garbage star systems are of little use to others, but in my hands, they are worth at least several supreme treasures."
He smiled at the two of them: "In this way, it's equivalent to the clan exchanging these useless remains for a supreme treasure of the peak realm, and I will also gain dozens of times the benefit. No one loses out."
In fact, he was understating his words. After all, his teachers had limited experience, and saying too much would only make them less understanding. The value of a few supreme treasures was already enough to shock them.
After listening to their disciple's explanation, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "Understood. I will go and arrange the matters concerning the Garbage Starfield for you."
"By the way, once the wreckage is collected, will it be delivered directly to you, or will you go and pick it up yourself?"
"I'll just go directly there; it'll be faster that way." Chen Yuan shook his head. "By the time it takes to collect all these people and send them over, decades might have passed."
"I will go to the nine star regions one by one to collect those remains. Teachers, you can just have the staff collect them and then wait."
"understood."
After the meeting, Chen Yuan did not immediately head to the garbage star field. After all, the five major forces had only just received the news, and even if they wanted to inform others and arrange for people to collect the remains for him, it would take some time.
Within the Divine Realm, the Nether Sea Avatar did not cease cultivating the Primordial Hand, since he still had plenty of ordinary materials.
Anyway, the energy consumed won't be wasted; it can even help the Nine Nether Sea transform into a divine body.
After Chen Yuan threw all these materials into the divine kingdom, the Abyss Whale clone, which was practicing the treasure refining technique in the real world, naturally stopped practicing because it had no materials on hand.
However, this does not mean that the Abyss Whale clone can be idle. In fact, Chen Yuan has already prepared the next cultivation task for the Abyss Whale clone.
That is to comprehend the Dao of Law Fusion through innate secret techniques!
Indeed, Chen Yuan has now comprehended nine of the ten laws, with only the law of space remaining unmastered. However, he can now begin the path of law fusion.
His arrangement for the Abyssal Whale clone was very simple.
Since his innate secret technique, "Nine Hua Abyss Light," can fuse laws in pairs, Chen Yuan can use this technique to study the ways in which different laws can be fused together.
As for the method of research, it is naturally to analyze this innate secret technique and gain complete control over it.
This step was not difficult for Chen Yuan, because the grade of the Nine Hua Abyss Light was not high, at most equivalent to the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.
Now that he can analyze even the strongest talent secret techniques, how could he be stumped by a mere ultimate secret technique?
Even after the Nine Hua Abyss Light was fully analyzed, he could still optimize the secret technique through the optimization system, making it more capable of incorporating more laws.
In this way, Chen Yuan can quickly master the way of law fusion by studying this secret method, and even learn the fusion of three laws and four laws.
Until the Ten Laws are successfully integrated!
