104: Redemption of Light!

Lin Yu slowly raised his hand, spread his fingers, then abruptly clenched them.

An unprecedented, pure, and powerful sense of strength filled his limbs and bones.

This was the temporary attribute boost brought by Primordial Effect.

But what he cared about more was that feeling.

That absolute sense of control, knowing every cell and every wisp of life energy in his body like the back of his hand.

However, deeper than this sense of control, a chilling incongruity lurked.

A cold, dead, quality that did not belong to the realm of 'life'.

He was alive.

But it was as if he wasn't completely alive.

It was as if his state of existence was stuck in a superposition between life and death.

A wraith cloaked in vibrant flesh.

A layer of cold sweat seeped from Lin Yu's back.

If it weren't for the extraordinary perception brought by Source Effect: Physical Body Control, he himself wouldn't have been able to detect this bizarre change.

This time, the method was too extreme.

Trillions of Vitality Nourishment, while pulling him back from the abyss of death, also caused an undeniable damage to his life source.

He gambled and won, obtaining a skill of the Source tier.

He also gambled and lost, almost truly falling into eternal damnation.

This feeling of dancing madly on a knife's edge made him feel a long-lost trepidation.

He must calm down.

Lin Yu closed his eyes, quietly reflecting on his recent frantic actions.

He was still too hasty.

His craving for power made him subconsciously overlook the immense risks involved.

A million-fold amplification was already the limit his mental strength could bear.

And a million times a million, a trillion-fold energy backlash, completely exceeded the carrying capacity of his current life level.

Even with Physical Body Control, next time, he might not be so lucky.

Lin Yu silently felt the Everlasting effect of Vitality Nourishment within his body.

Streams of gentle life energy, like trickling rivulets, continuously nourished his damaged life source.

The repair process was slow, but it was effective.

Before his life source was completely healed, he absolutely could not easily attempt such suicidal operations as 'a million times a million' again.

However... Lin Yu's mind could never completely settle down.

A million times a million won't work, so... what if he slightly lowered the specifications?

For example, first use Ghost Card Amplification Cycle to strengthen a skill eight or sixteen times, then store it in a snap, creating a Skill Card.

Then, amplify this card, which stores eight or sixteen portions of energy, by a million times.

Eight million times, sixteen million times... could he withstand such intensity?

Or, what if he didn't rush, and stored it just once?

Primordial Snap.

Store.

Instant Cast!

That's right!

The core value of Primordial Snap was not in strengthening instant-cast skills at all.

But in... turning all non-instant-cast skills into instant-cast ones!

That way, he could grind proficiency in the most formulaic way!

Lin Yu's mind became active again.

He thought of another brilliant idea.

Anyway, he's already nested things this much.

Primordial Snap can store skills.

So, is Primordial Snap itself considered a skill?

If he stored the skill Primordial Snap into Primordial Snap's slot... would this mean he could, with one snap, unleash another snap that had a skill stored within it?

Infinite nesting, infinite possibilities.

Lin Yu immediately began to try.

He mobilized his mental energy, attempting to drag the skill rune of Primordial Snap into its own storage slot.

However, the skill panel showed no reaction.

That ethereal slot displayed an absolute repulsion towards its own Main unit.

It really didn't work.

As expected.

However, it didn't matter.

Lin Yu quickly dismissed this failed attempt from his mind.

Lin Yu opened the room's built-in paid skill learning system.

A light screen unfolded before him.

It listed densely packed general skills available for paid learning.

Explosion, priced at thirty thousand.

Ice Peak Slash, priced at thirty thousand.

Wind's Lament, priced at thirty thousand.

These were the most basic elemental attack skills: instant cast, low cost, low power, and standard for most new professionals.

Lin Yu's gaze swept past them.

He didn't want these common items.

His gaze continued downwards, past those rare skills costing hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Finally, it stopped at the very bottom of the skill list.

A skill priced as high as eight million.

Light's Redemption

Skill Tier: Gold Epic

Skill Type: Healing Blessing

Learning Conditions: 200 Spirit, 200 Constitution

Skill Description: Guide the holy power of light to perform a thorough life baptism on the target. Can purify most negative statuses, repair moderate injuries, and provide a continuous recovery 'Blessing' effect for the target for one hour afterward.

Casting Time: Ten seconds.

Cooldown Time: Ten minutes.

This was it.

A typical skill, powerful but with extremely strict casting conditions.

Of course, most importantly, it was the most expensive skill this room could provide.

Lin Yu was too lazy to pick it himself; his time was precious.

For ordinary professionals, this was a skill with extremely low cost-effectiveness.

But for Lin Yu, none of this was a problem.

The money he had now was duplicated out of thin air, so he didn't feel bad spending any amount.

And the lengthy casting time and cooldown time would all vanish before Primordial Snap.

"Purchase."

Lin Yu confirmed the payment.

Eight million was instantly debited from his account.

The next second, a massive stream of information surged into his mind.

It was an incredibly complex skill rune, filled with a sacred and solemn aura.

Countless rune details, construction methods, and energy circulation routes slowly unfolded in his sea of consciousness.

If it were an ordinary person, simply understanding and mastering this skill would probably take several weeks.

But Lin Yu was different.

His five hundred points of Spirit attribute allowed him to completely grasp this Gold Epic-tier skill in less than three seconds.

Done.

Lin Yu raised his hand, attempting to cast it once according to the normal procedure.

From his mouth, ancient and convoluted syllables began to be chanted.

Light elements in the air began to gather at his fingertips.

However, he stopped after completing only the first syllable.

Too slow.

It was simply too slow.

Completely unbearable.

Lin Yu's thought stirred.

Primordial Snap, activated!

His will precisely locked onto the brand new Light's Redemption skill rune in his mind.

"Store!"
