In the dead of night, Li Mo sat cross-legged on his bed with hands on his dantian in the shape of a sphere. In the center of his hands once could see the blue, gray, and white spiritual energy ball swirling.
Sss~
Strands of blue and gray energy drifted out from time to time, and the spiritual energy ball shrunk little by little, while its color turned whiter.
“Clang!”
When the last thread of gray energy flew out, the white spiritual energy solidified into a two inch long white jade and fell on the bed.
Li Mo opened his eyes and checked the time to be 8 a.m.
“Using Blood Boil Technique to break down spiritual energy is too disadvantageous, too inefficient. Just refining this low grade spiritual root took me all night.”
Starscape was never a game ever to begin with. Fifty years ago, humanity found a device to log into the stars. Its true name was spiritual root, an uncommon material made from condensing spiritual energy. Using it would arouse a living being’s potential, enabling one to be assimilated into the God Realm.
In truth, the world, or better yet, that world, through the use of spiritual root, opened a door within the original world. It worked on the same principle as a credit card and a password.
A spiritual root needed to be used just once and it would form a Life Origin Spiritual Root inside the user’s body, that kept on growing for all eternity, never to be broken. The spiritual root would generate a Spiritual Source. As long as one comprehended how to use its energy, he would be able to make use of the most basic Spiritual Source ability in the God Realm, Transfer.
If one had not entered the God Realm, he’d be incapable of using Transfer. And wanting to leave Earth and visit other inhabitable planets was wishful thinking without it. That was a distance of millions of light-years. Even the universe’s most scientifically developed Erland race’s spacecraft was incapable of traveling the universe as it wished.
The Spiritual Roots were of different quality. The higher it was the farther and accurate it could Transfer you. The opposite was also true.
The God Realm covered the whole universe. And this vast universe contained no less than a hundred million inhabitable planets. Some planets held strong living beings while others had weaker races, each planet fell into one of the ten tiers. The first to third tiers were inferior planets, fourth to sixth tier were intermediate, and seventh to ninth were advanced planets. As for the tenth tier, it represented the peak of inhabitable planets.
Unranked inhabitable planets were a bit different. These planets had the lowest danger rating, even weaker than 1st tier planets. Of course, this wasn’t absolute as some hadn’t been completely explored yet and committed to record. Just how Earth’s people entered the God Realm for the first time, Earth was classified as a 1st tier planet. After a few hundred years passed, among the people of Earth, two imperial figures emerged. Widening the eyes of tens of thousands of races in the universe.
Li Mo held the spiritual root and just when he was about to swallow it, his cellphone rang.
Di-di-di…
The name Uncle Zeng appeared on the screen.
Li Mo answered.
“Young master…”
Li Mo listened calmly. If it was the past Li Mo, he would’ve hung up the phone at those words, refusing to listen any longer.
“Although what happened that year… is master’s mistake, you are of his own flesh and blood. Is there a father in this world who doesn’t love his children?”
“Uncle Zeng, is there any other reason for calling me? If you called me just to remind me of this matter, it’s best if we stop here.”
“Cough, there is another reason. Grand-sir’s 90th birthday is coming up. Over the past few days he has always been talking about you. I believe this is a great chance. Young master, as long as you come to the grand-sir’s birthday, you will be able to return to the Li clan.”
Li Mo replied, “Uncle Zeng, if I wanted to come back to the Li clan, I would’ve done it by now. It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I won’t.”
“I know, but…”
Li Mo was silent for a bit before replying, “I will definitely come to grandfather’s birthday.”
“R-really?” Li Zeng was beyond surprised.
“I am a man of my word. But before that, I do not want anyone to know of my coming.”
“I know, I understand.”
Li Mo hanged up.
Shenjing Province’s Li clan. If one took the entire province into consideration, it was led by a top influential clan. And Li Mo drew itself from this clan. But in Feng City, he was the only one that knew this.
In his past life, Li Mo didn’t attend Li clan’s grand-sir, Li Xuanyu’s ninetieth birthday. Not long after that, Li clan’s grand-sir passed away. Li Mo wasn’t too fond of his father, but cared deeply for his grandfather, Li Xuanyu. He took care of Li Mo for three years when he was a child.
Because of his stubborn nature in his past life, Li Mo never got to see his grandfather one last time. This was also a regret he had. But now that he came back, he never wanted to have any regrets and decided to attend Li Xuanyu’s birthday!
Li Mo placed the phone down and swallowed the spiritual root.
Eating it was the right way of using the spiritual root.
Whoosh.
In a flash of light, the spiritual root vanished and Li Mo was still sitting on the bed, without a change.
Transfer, unranked planet. “
Once Li Mo’s light tone fell, he turned into a ray of white light and faded away…
