106: Chapter 105 Quantifying Strength
"A bunch of idiots, can't you think about what the highest Rank of items that has appeared in the entire Magic Sea World is?"
"Gold Tier, so what?"
"How many Gold Tier items are there?"
"Probably a dozen or twenty, if you count based on the individual merit ranking."
"Hmm? Do you realize it now?"
"..."
"Holy crap, is Fate Master not snatching food from the Magic Sea officials?!!"
"..."
After this sentence was posted, the comment section fell silent for a full three seconds.
Then, this comment was buried in an overwhelming tide of questions, discussions, and replies at a rate of a million per second.
Deep within all this clamor, inside the lounge of a three-hundred-meter-class giant ship—
Yang Hang's Divided Soul continued to keep an eye on the dynamics of the Fate Platform, while he himself was carefully studying a Gold Tier healing item, the Willow Spirit Tree, that had just been enhanced through the cauldron of entropy increase.
This was a Gold Tier item he had enhanced by combining a Silver Grade Willow Spirit leaf with a captured octopus possessing strong regenerative abilities, and a Rotten Wood Class sapling.
He felt its healing ability for a moment.
Honestly, it was quite good.
But he could also clearly feel that its upper limit was very obvious, far from reaching the level that the life spring could achieve.
In other words, its quality was at most Medium Grade among the Gold Tier.
Upon learning this effect immediately, Yang Hang was naturally dissatisfied.
Although this thing was quite good, it had no meaning to him.
So, he directly chose to output an unlimited amount of Power of Causality to the cauldron of entropy increase, attempting to enhance the Willow Spirit Tree once more.
The result was obvious: it failed.
The reason was simple: although the quality of the cauldron of entropy increase was considered high among Gold Tier curios, its enhancement limit was only medium.
Although he could have forcibly used the Power of Causality to enhance the Willow Spirit Tree's quality a bit higher, or even match the cauldron of entropy increase, the cost would be the destruction of the cauldron of entropy increase.
It was clearly not worth it.
In other words, if he wanted high-quality Gold Tier curios similar to the cauldron of entropy increase, the initial explanation of space Laws, and the Stellar Body, he could only trade one for one with the cauldron of entropy increase.
The idea he had at the time, that he could directly enhance radiation absorption into a Stellar Body, was still too optimistic.
He could actually do it.
But the cauldron of entropy increase couldn't.
Unless he could later find a Gold Tier item or even a higher-tier item capable of repairing the cauldron of entropy increase.
Otherwise, unless he was prepared to trade one for one, all the Gold Tier curios enhanced would have to stop at Medium Grade quality.
He thought for a moment.
He tried again to enhance a Rotten Wood Class water-condensing skill book directly in the direction of an ability close to the rule-based Minor Life Technique.
In the end, he only got a Gold Tier high-level water control skill book.
It was one level higher than her sister's water control talent, but obviously, it was still just the ability to control water.
It completely failed to reach the level of mastery and understanding of life energy that President Shen Qing's Minor Life Technique had.
He did not try to enhance the next Gold Tier item.
He had already invoked the Power of Causality to understand the principle behind it.
The answer was simple: the Rank of the Minor Life Technique was higher than that of the cauldron of entropy increase.
Although the Minor Life Technique was Gold Tier, it already touched upon the essence of life.
It was an existence of extremely high quality within the Gold Tier tier.
Even if it were a one-for-one trade, it couldn't be done.
Unless he chose to forcibly pull the causal thread of that skill, which could touch the essence of water and existed in the realm of the impossible, into reality.
That would be no different from having him manifest an Ability Crystal of the Gold Tier Minor Life Technique out of thin air.
It wasn't that his Power of Causality couldn't do it.
It was that his strength was not yet strong enough; the vast River of Causality within the Karmic Void Realm seemed turbulent and endless, but when truly facing matters involving higher levels, it was still a bit stretched.
If one were to make an actual measurement of his current strength or abilities.
Then it was the interference at the level of physical reality.
If it didn't involve creating things that didn't exist out of the Void Realm, he could easily handle the vast majority of it.
Controlling storms, tornadoes, sinking land, and harvesting sunlight were all things he had done before, or were just daily operations.
As for the so-called creation of things that didn't exist out of the Void Realm, for example, tech-side wormhole devices, spaceships, and life-extending potions, he couldn't create these out of thin air.
The difficulty of these things did not lie in wormhole travel, space flight, or extending life, but in achieving this through technological means.
It was difficult for him to achieve this for the time being.
Simple wormhole travel was actually space folding travel, which he could do now.
To extend life, he could directly use the Power of Causality to manifest the possibility of a person living to their physiological limit; this was very simple.
It wasn't that he couldn't achieve a lifespan beyond the physiological limit; the time and space scales of the Universe were vast and large enough, and if such a possibility existed, he could use the Power of Causality to realize it.
But a lifespan beyond the physiological limit was already considered a violation of physical Law; for every extra year of life he fabricated out of thin air, the consumption required was hundreds of times more than before.
Originally, Yang Hang's experience of synthesizing various items with the cauldron of entropy increase was purely to enjoy the thrill of synthesizing and opening blind boxes, but in the end, the experience forced a sense of crisis and urgency upon him.
Not only was the daydream he had before, about being able to get an unlimited number of high-quality Gold Tier items suitable for himself anytime and anywhere without relying on sunken sea treasure chests, impossible to realize.
He still had to rely on sunken sea treasure chests.
He even needed to become more of a workhorse to update more Fate Platform functions, so as to enhance the strength of the Yanhuang Civilization survivors and ensure the survival rate of the survivors of external civilizations.
He also had to manage the scale of this well to prevent giving external civilizations a chance to overtake them.
Yang Hang couldn't help but sigh, taking a look at the Karmic Void Realm at this moment.
The flow of the River of Causality was climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even though it was already very late, in less than twenty minutes since the Spatial Backpack went online, over 300 million Yanhuang Survivors had already activated the feature.
By tomorrow, when the Yanhuang Survivors all woke up, there would be a maintenance consumption of at least over a billion cubic meters of space per day.
This meant a stable income of over a billion karma points every day.
And the first batch of users of the enhancement System hadn't even had a chance to act yet—that would be another, even larger tide of energy.
Yang Hang now had a sense of déjà vu: the River of Causality would become full and rich amidst the endless convergence of causal energy afterwards.
But he didn't have much joy; instead, he calmed down to carefully think about the strategy for his own path planning.
First was the aspect of energy.
Perhaps there was an opportunity to take Energy mastery a step further.
The Energy Perception talent he had unlocked before was of this type, allowing him to exert greater effects on the premise that his own control amount remained unchanged.
In layman's terms, this was increasing the energy conversion rate.
He could start looking for some ability talents, skill books, or analysis manuals in this regard to see.
