183: Doppelganger
The skill Lin Ye most wanted to create was an Avatar.
The Avatar skill was too important for a diligent cultivator; the main body diligently cultivated, while the Avatar handled all sorts of miscellaneous tasks, which was truly wonderful.
Lin Ye had had this thought countless times in his past and present lives.
"My teacher seems to have an Avatar skill; I must ask him about it," Lin Ye thought to himself.
It was no secret that the Galaxy Lord left an Avatar in the Galaxy Realm; all his disciples knew about it. The Galaxy Lord couldn't possibly handle tasks like lecturing, managing, and supervising in person.
While a Dominator Level being has infinite lifespan, they also have higher pursuits. It was already quite generous for him to spare some energy.
Lin Ye arrived at his teacher's residence and stated his needs.
"That's a very good idea, but for an Avatar skill to reach that level, it requires a lot of energy. Are you sure you want to create an Avatar first?" the Galaxy Lord inquired.
Lin Ye nodded, "Yes, the Avatar skill can greatly reduce the impact of trivial matters on cultivation, so it's a skill I must create."
The Galaxy Lord smiled with satisfaction.
Most disciples create skills for power and lethality, and few have Lin Ye's idea of creating a skill to serve cultivation.
Of course, it was also because the Avatar skill was difficult to create.
A typical Avatar skill, like Lin Ye's Star Avatar, could only play a role in combat. If it moved too far away, it would dissipate and couldn't solve trivial matters at all.
Moreover, this type of Avatar had no self-awareness and required the main body's control, thus failing to serve the purpose of aiding cultivation.
A truly advanced Avatar would not dissipate no matter how far it went, and it would have self-awareness, capable of handling many things. It could even serve as cannon fodder, making it the most cost-effective labor.
Lin Ye naturally wanted to create an Avatar of this caliber.
"To create the Avatar you desire, it's not easy. Either you reach the Dominator Level, or you cleverly use a treasure," the Galaxy Lord said.
Under the Galaxy Lord's explanation, Lin Ye clearly understood how difficult it was to have an Avatar with self-awareness.
Either one reaches the Galaxy Lord's realm, using the power of laws and the Dominator's indestructible nature to create a Dominator Level Avatar skill.
Or one cleverly uses a treasure, shaping an extra body with the treasure to carry and nourish a sub-Soul, transforming it into an Avatar.
The former was impossible for Lin Ye to achieve, but the latter held some hope.
"However, even the latter is very difficult. It requires deducing the Avatar skill to the Stellar River Level, which is not that simple," the Galaxy Lord said.
Lin Ye knew the difficulty of creating skills across realms, but now he had to face the challenge.
The Star Domain Level was not as easy to break through as the Star System Level; this level required too much energy accumulation. Moreover, a very important goal had to be achieved: breaking through the body's limit.
Why could Cadillac compete with Lin Ye in physical strength despite his inherent amplitude being inferior to Lin Ye's? It was because of his size.
An ant's strength is a hundred times its own weight, which is incredible, right? But how much can it lift? While War Beast and Titan, these colossal beings, can possess astonishing power.
Indeed, this was the importance of body size.
The Star Domain Level was precisely the level that broke through this bodily restriction.
Some races are naturally small, and at this level, they can compensate for their shortcomings.
As for those naturally huge races, this level was a smooth sailing for them.
Of course, these giants also found early cultivation more difficult than average races, given their sheer size.
Therefore, to forge a perfect body, Lin Ye decided to patiently refine himself at this realm, compensating for the human race's inherent flaws.
An Avatar was very necessary, after all, once the thousand-year period was up, the Galaxy Lord would no longer let them freeload; they would have to earn their own resources.
And as a major resource consumer, Lin Ye needed countless resources.
Next, the Galaxy Lord began to meticulously guide Lin Ye. As for the treasure, he bestowed one upon Lin Ye.
He valued Lin Ye greatly, believing him to be potentially his strongest disciple ever, so he casually bestowed the valuable treasure for creating an Avatar.
One should know that even a Stellar River Level being would fight tooth and nail for such a treasure, and even Dominator Level beings would feel a slight stir of desire.
The Galaxy Lord himself had an Avatar, and although it cultivated different laws from Lin Ye, he could still provide a great deal of knowledge.
Lin Ye absorbed this knowledge like a sponge; what he lacked most was foundation. As long as he had enough foundation, he could quickly perfect his skills with skill points.
One year, Star System Level Avatar, completed.
Five years, Star Domain Level Avatar, completed.
But in the end, when he tried to create a Stellar River Level Avatar, he got stuck. It was incredibly difficult; the difficulty of creating a skill across realms was too great, like a small horse pulling a large cart.
Lin Ye was a bit troubled.
But the Galaxy Lord was already numb with shock.
Lin Ye's speed in creating skills was too fast. To create a suitable skill for oneself, a typical Star Domain Level being would take hundreds of years, but Lin Ye seemed not to need that much time.
Lin Ye had only broken through to the Star Domain Level less than six years ago, yet he had deduced his cultivation method to the Star Domain Level and possessed a Star Domain Level Avatar skill, which was simply outrageous.
Lin Ye naturally didn't know the Galaxy Lord's inner thoughts, and even if he did, he would just laugh it off and say it was luck.
The panel was his most important secret, and he wouldn't reveal it to anyone.
As for why his cultivation method was deduced to the Star Domain Level, it was naturally because he deduced the cultivation method along with the Avatar.
The difficulty of deducing a cultivation method was many times harder than a typical skill, but with the Dream skill and the Original Universe, Lin Ye's deduction difficulty wasn't high.
In this long deduction process, fifty years passed.
Lin Ye looked at the panel in surprise; the Star Avatar had already become Stellar River Level, but its completion was still very low.
"Panel, add points!" Lin Ye excitedly roared internally.
As the hundreds of years' worth of accumulated skill points were invested, the Star Avatar's completion began to increase significantly.
In Lin Ye's mind, countless pieces of Avatar knowledge began to arrange and combine, repeatedly deducing and improving the Star Avatar's completion.
Skill point allocation couldn't come out of thin air; for example, he couldn't add points to laws or law Fusion. These required continuous learning and creation.
But using existing knowledge to improve skill completion or adding points to ability proficiency was possible.
As the skill points ran out, Lin Ye's Stellar River Level Avatar skill was completed.
When the Galaxy Lord learned of this news, he valued Lin Ye even more.
"For the next period, use the treasure to carefully create your Avatar," the Galaxy Lord instructed.
Lin Ye nodded.
The Galaxy Lord took out a pulsating heart and began to guide Lin Ye in creating his Avatar.
Under the effect of the Avatar skill and the treasure, another Lin Ye slowly took shape, and Lin Ye entrusted a portion of his Soul into it.
Various treasures and potions were continuously used to nurture Lin Ye's Avatar.
