103: Origin level

Bang!

The golden threads, the instant they touched the Primordial Snap rune, let out a groan of unbearable strain.

Then, they snapped, inch by inch.

This was completely different from his experience making any other card over the past five years.

It wasn’t a flat skill imprint.

Instead, it was a living, multi-dimensional divine mountain, woven from countless rules!

Lin Yu’s spiritual power couldn’t even leave a mark on its surface before it was completely crushed by that ancient and boundless power of laws.

Not enough!

His spiritual power was far from enough!

Lin Yu didn't retreat in the slightest; instead, the ruthlessness in his bones was ignited.

His five hundred points of spiritual attribute were squeezed to their limit at this moment!

More golden threads surged wildly from his sea of consciousness, no longer tentatively coiling, but transforming into billions of the toughest steel cables, forcibly lashing into the structure of that “divine mountain” in an almost savage manner!

Om—

Lin Yu’s body trembled violently, and blood seeped from all seven of his orifices.

This was a backlash at the level of laws!

But he succeeded.

The outline of the card was finally forcibly sketched in his consciousness.

It's done!

Lin Yu’s consciousness didn't relax in the slightest; he knew this was only the first step.

He endured the agonizing pain of his soul being torn and accelerated the card-making process.

Finally, a brand-new card slowly took shape in his consciousness.

The card face was pitch black, like the deepest cosmos.

There were no ornate patterns, no complex designs.

Only a single, extremely simple action was imprinted in the very center of the card.

A hand, snapping its fingers.

Primordial Snap · Skill Card.

It's done.

Continue!!

Lin Yu didn't even have time to catch his breath before he continued his 瘋狂 behavior.

He wanted to perform another Ghost Card Amplification Cycle.

This time, what he wanted to amplify was no longer that trashy Vitality Nourishment.

Instead, it was this newly created Primordial Snap · Skill Card, which itself already contained millions of times the energy!

A million times a million!

That was... a trillion!

The mere thought of this number made Lin Yu himself feel a suffocating sensation from the depths of his soul.

This was definitely beyond his limit.

However, he didn't hesitate.

The moment this idea appeared, he had already made his choice.

Do it!

Now! Immediately! Right away!

Lin Yu closed his eyes and, once again, in his most insane act ever, activated the Ghost Card Amplification Cycle!

Ghost Card copied!

Multiplication Card amplified!

This time, the consumption of spiritual power was no longer a mere pouring out, but a bursting dam!

His vast sea of consciousness was completely depleted in just one second!

Four times.

Eight times... 1,048,576 times!

When that familiar, soul-tearing amplification reached its peak, Lin Yu’s consciousness was already blurry.

But with his last shred of obsession, he precisely locked onto that brand-new card.

Primordial Snap · Skill Card (1,048,576 times enhanced · Awaiting Release)!

Release!

Lin Yu used his last ounce of strength to issue the command in his consciousness.

He didn't even lift his hand.

Because he no longer had the strength to make any unnecessary movements.

Snap.

A soft sound.

It didn't come from the outside world, but from the depths of his soul.

That Primordial Snap · Skill Card, which stored millions of times Vitality Nourishment, was activated under another million-fold amplification.

And then.

There was no ‘then’.

No earth-shattering explosion.

No world-destroying light.

There wasn't even the slightest leakage of energy.

The trillion-fold energy, the moment it was released, followed a hidden karmic connection and, with unparalleled precision, completely backfired onto its caster, Lin Yu’s body.

Lin Yu’s body exploded in an instant.

From cells, to genes, to soul.

Everything, in that immeasurable torrent of life, was completely scoured, decomposed, and turned into the most primitive particles.

Consciousness, dissolving.

Life, ebbing away.

He died.

Completely.

As dead as could be.

However, at the exact moment Lin Yu’s flame of life was completely extinguished.

Streams of information began to furiously refresh on his skill panel.

Detected skill 'Vitality Nourishment' cast one million times, proficiency upgraded to 'Gold'!

Detected skill 'Vitality Nourishment' cast one hundred million times, proficiency upgraded to 'Red'!

Detected skill 'Vitality Nourishment' cast ten billion times, proficiency upgraded!

Detected skill 'Vitality Nourishment' cast one trillion times, proficiency upgraded!

...Inside the silent room.

Time seemed to stand still.

After an unknown duration.

A faint, extremely weak green hue quietly bloomed in the core of Lin Yu’s body, which had already turned to dust, in that void.

Immediately following, came the second, the third... countless green light points appeared out of thin air, attracting, converging, and intertwining with each other.

Flesh reorganized, bones regenerated, nerves connected, and his soul reconvened.

“Hoo!”

Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for air, and sat up from the floor.

He was still alive?

How was that possible!

He clearly remembered the moment he was blown apart by that terrifying energy, his consciousness completely dissipating.

That feeling of utterly returning to nothingness was definitely not an illusion.

Palpitations!

An unprecedented sense of palpitations seized his heart.

That was the imprint left only after truly touching death.

What exactly happened?

Lin Yu forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately activated his Eye of Analysis, looking at his body and skill panel.

Rows of brand-new data entered his vision.

Vitality Nourishment (Origin · One Trillion Times).

Skill Description: You have touched the origin of life.

Primordial Effect: Endless Life. You will gain continuous life force recovery. When recovering life, the overflowing energy will temporarily strengthen all your basic attributes until the next skill release or energy depletion.

Origin Effect: Physical Body Control (Initial Stage). You have gained absolute control over your own life form. You can consume spiritual power to reconstruct your life essence to a certain extent.

So that’s it.

Lin Yu looked at the description of the Origin Effect, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

A million multiplied by a million, a trillion casts, directly pushed this trash skill to an unbelievable level.

Origin!

It was this effect, this terrifying ability called “Physical Body Control,” that, at the moment of his death, forcibly pulled him back from nothingness!

He killed himself.

Then, he revived himself.

A complete cycle of life and death.
