Chapter 399 Optimizing the Secret Treasure! The Second Ninth-Order Secret Technique
A bumper harvest!
After the last universe lord departed, Chen Yuan looked at the reserves on the panel with a smile: "1680 million Sources of the Great Dao. If I were to slowly absorb the chaotic energy through my primordial spirit body, it would take at least a million years!"
Even with his efficiency in plundering those undeveloped ruins, he only earned 40 over ten years, averaging just over 4 a year.
It would take more than four hundred years to accumulate 1680 million Sources of the Great Dao, and that would require all the ruins to remain undeveloped.
In reality, Chen Yuan had explored more than 3,000 complete ruins in the past ten years. According to the markings given by Ireil, there are less than 7,000 complete ruins left within 5 trillion light-years of the original universe.
In other words, it would only take him a little over twenty years to explore all of these ruins.
Next, he either needs to search for the ruins that have already been explored and are now just remnants, or he can only travel to a region five trillion light-years away to discover more hidden ruins.
But no matter which option he chooses, it will inevitably reduce his efficiency in accumulating energy.
"My strength is limited after all."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Although there are a lot of those empty ruins, it would take a lot of time to dismantle them one by one, so it's not very efficient."
"Instead of doing that, I might as well have all the powerful beings in the universe work for me. I only need to contribute a little bit of energy to collect the debris drifting in the cosmic sea and turn it into endless energy."
Compared to the original universe, the number of relics in the cosmic sea is virtually endless.
Although the Tower of Primordial Chaos acquired mostly from the primordial universe after its opening, this was essentially a one-time income, accumulated over trillions of epochs by those race alliances.
The same applies to ordinary life.
Debris and waste also need time to accumulate. Once it's used up this time, who knows when it will be needed again.
The Tower of Primordial Chaos has just opened, and it can be said that it has recycled a large portion of the useless waste accumulated throughout the universe, and will also recycle the remaining small portion in a short period of time.
By then, Chen Yuan's income will have plummeted, and only a few people will enter the Tower of Primordial Chaos to sell the remains.
After that, the main source of income for the Primordial Tower will shift from these ordinary life forms to the Cosmic Sea Relics sold by the Lords of the various universes.
Although the income at that time will certainly not be as great as it is now, it is better than a steady stream of income. After all, given the vastness of the cosmic sea, he will not have to worry about these relics and remains being cleared away for at least hundreds of thousands of epochs.
"Of course, it will take these alien races some time to clean up the ruins."
"At least for the time being, the majority of my income still comes from ordinary lives in the human territory."
Not everyone who sees the virtual trial site will go there immediately; instead, most people choose to wait and see.
This is why the Tower of Primordial Beginnings initially did not receive a large number of traders.
Basically, it wasn't until the first batch of traders left and news about the Tower of Primordial Beginning spread that a large number of traders began to flock to the Tower of Primordial Beginning.
Now, one day has passed since the Tower of Primordial Beginning opened.
These ordinary life forms are still entering the Tower of Primordial Chaos to trade, but the peak has passed, and the trading volume of the Tower of Primordial Chaos is less than half of its peak period.
According to Chen Yuan's prediction, these transaction volumes will continue to decrease over time, until they fall to a certain level and eventually stabilize.
This final stable amount is roughly the total value of waste products produced by the entire human race, since as long as the race continues to develop, all sorts of waste products will always be generated.
A month passed quickly, and just as Chen Yuan had predicted, the transaction volume of the Primordial Tower decreased, until recently it stabilized at a rate of about three thousand Great Dao Sources per day.
"That's about it."
At this moment, the energy balance on the panel has reached 3348 million Origins of the Great Dao.
If we exclude the profits from those Lords of the Universe, the income for the following month is basically the same as the income for the first day.
Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this. He didn't expect the Tower of Primordial Beginning to maintain the income from the first day indefinitely, as that would be too unrealistic.
The income from the first day—or rather, the income from the past month—was considered "windfall" in his eyes, something that couldn't be regenerated. What he really cared about was the guaranteed minimum of three thousand per day.
"Three thousand a day, one hundred thousand a year."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "This is equivalent to more than two years of hard work in the Cosmic Sea, and it doesn't require much effort at all."
With the number of traders reduced, Irele only needed to use one percent of the computing power of one core to easily handle the situation, so Chen Yuan didn't need to worry about it at all.
Even those traders at the level of universe masters can be easily summoned by him in illusory form. There are only so many universe masters in the entire universe, so they don't take up much of his energy.
"More importantly, this revenue only represents the output of the human race's territory."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Of the other races in the primordial universe, only some of their higher-ups have ever been here. As for the ordinary life forms, since they are not connected to the virtual universe network, they probably haven't even heard of the Tower of Primordial Beginning."
"Although the human race is the most powerful race, its population is probably less than one-tenth of that of the original universe, and the same is true for the other most powerful races."
In reality, the proportion of the top races in the primordial universe is not large, whether in terms of territory or population. There are far more small, unknown races!
Although each of these ethnic groups occupies a small territory, their sheer number makes up for it.
The combined territories of the six most powerful races in the primordial universe probably don't even equal the size of the lands occupied by these ordinary races.
The same applies to territory and population.
Therefore, Chen Yuan also coveted the resources of this group, hoping that one day after unifying the original universe, he could incorporate all the groups into the virtual universe system.
At that time, the existence of the Primordial Tower will be known to everyone through the GG of the virtual universe, and a large wave of new traders will join!
"The territory of just one human race has brought me more than 30 million Origins of the Great Dao. If all the life in the entire primordial universe were included in the trading scope, the income would probably be no less than one billion, and the daily guaranteed income would be at least ten times higher."
"By then, my Primordial Hand will probably be able to advance the progress of the sixth level by a significant margin."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan glanced at the panel, which displayed:
[Primordial Hand: Level 5, 78.6%]
It should be noted that before the Tower of Primordial Beginnings opened, his secret technique was still hovering on the fourth floor.
In just one month, the Primordial Hand has not only broken through to the fifth level, but has also increased its proficiency to more than 70%, directly surpassing the progress of the Primordial Eye!
Just like advancing in life level, the Primordial Hand now requires a hundredfold increase in the Source of the Great Dao for each stage it advances.
At the fourth level, the amount of Dao Source required to upgrade the secret technique is 5000, while at the fifth level, the requirement for perfection soars to 50 million!
If one were to break through to the sixth level, it would require a terrifying 50 billion Sources of the Great Dao to achieve perfection!
Of course, the fifth level, the Primordial Hand, already corresponds to the Chaos Ruler, and the sixth level corresponds to the God King stage, so it is reasonable that the improvement is huge.
"At the current rate of growth of the Source of the Great Dao, it will take no more than a hundred years for the Primordial Hand to reach the sixth level."
"At that time, the energy conversion rate of matter below the God-King level will reach perfection."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "In the Cosmic Sea, this level of Primordial Hand is more than enough, and we basically won't encounter any matter higher than the Chaos level."
Whether it's the legacy of the Broken East River or the world of Jin, there are very few items at the God-King level; only substances like Primordial Embryos can be preserved.
Because whether it's life or objects, the higher the level, the greater the resistance. Even the Mountain Dweller, who was a first-level God King in his previous life, couldn't withstand it and had to choose to reincarnate.
On the contrary, low-level matter rarely encounters any obstacles, which is why there are so many low-level relics in the Cosmic Sea, while the only high-level relic is the Duan Donghe Legacy.
Therefore, the fifth-order Primordial Hand is more than enough in the Cosmic Sea region. Chen Yuan doesn't expect to cultivate this secret technique to the sixth-order perfection in the Primordial Universe. Ultimately, 50 billion Great Dao Sources are not very realistic.
After sensing the situation at the Tower of Primordial Chaos and confirming that the upcoming transactions were on track, Chen Yuan flashed to the Cosmic Sea, ready to continue his great undertaking of exploring the ruins.
Such a massive amount of Dao Source also means that the treasures on Chen Yuan's body are more than enough for optimization at the Eternal True God stage.
After all, the optimization of an Eternal True God only consumes 100,000 to 100 Sources of the Great Dao. Even if an item is optimized from Eternal Level 1 to Eternal Level 9, the required Sources of the Great Dao are only 4.5 million.
With Chen Yuan's current energy reserves, he could optimize seven treasures to the Eternal Peak level, though that would require a lot of time.
After all, many of his treasures are still in the early stage of the Void level, and even [Heavenly Light] and [Primordial Soul] are still in the True God stage due to limited information.
"I wonder when Master Zuoshanke will be able to prepare the next stage of the treasure refining inheritance."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. He didn't know much about the "Calamity Armor" and "Original Soul Power" yet. At present, he could only optimize these two treasures to the ninth level of True God, which would only double his combat power.
As for Void-level data? He knew absolutely nothing about it. He didn't know how long it would take to study it on his own, so he could only wait for Master Zuoshanke's further instruction.
Before this, Chen Yuan did not intend to continue optimizing these two treasures. In any case, the defensive power brought by the ninth level of True God was already sufficient. In comparison, he was more looking forward to the increase in basic strength.
As long as he can gain the basic combat power of a true god, Chen Yuan immediately dares to claim that he is invincible as a true god and bring the entire universe under his control.
Even with the two holy lands, Chen Yuan was not afraid at all, since the main body of the holy land master was not there and only the divine power incarnation remained.
Subsequently, Chen Yuan sent all the other treasures except for [Heavenly Light] and [Primordial Soul] into the simulation space.
The time required for Void-level optimization missions has now been compressed to ten years, while Eternal-level missions start at a century.
In other words, if Chen Yuan is willing to pay double the optimization cost, the optimization task can be settled immediately after the simulation task ends. Then, at most two hundred years later, he will have his first eternal-level secret treasure.
In terms of the current level of treasures, the one that should reach the level fastest is the Primal Treasure, the Ring of the Origin, followed by the Azure Sky Sword.
Apart from these two treasures, other treasures will take several decades longer to achieve immortality.
"Void-level missions don't consume much energy, so there's no need to conserve energy." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. "But let's skip the Eternal-level missions. I'm not in a hurry, and there's no need to waste millions of energy."
The Void-level optimization task only requires 100 to 1000 Sources of the Great Dao, which he can accept. However, the starting point for the Eternal-level task is 100,000 Sources of the Great Dao. If all of them are accelerated, the cost of optimizing an Eternal-level 9 treasure will skyrocket to 9 million, which is beyond Chen Yuan's means, even with his wealth.
Of course, arcane arts are an exception, because the simulation cost is only one percent of the full price. Once the simulation is complete, it will also only cost one percent of the full price to speed it up.
In other words, Chen Yuan only spent 9999 units of Dao Source to optimize the virtual universe secret technique. So when the simulation process of the task ends, he can spend the same amount of energy to complete the task instantly.
"Virtual Universe Mission - 110 years until the simulation ends."
Chen Yuan glanced at the panel once and then stopped paying attention.
In fact, if the mission in the simulated space could be accelerated a second time, he would have really wanted to invest some energy to make the virtual universe secret technique end sooner.
As for now, all we can do is wait patiently.
"In the meantime—aside from those few Void Treasures—let's continue exploring the ruins. After all, you can never have too much energy."
After making the decision, Chen Yuan immediately began to continue exploring these undiscovered relics.
Time passed quietly, and twenty years went by in the blink of an eye. Chen Yuan had finally completed exploring all the hidden ruins in the five trillion light-year region surrounding the original universe.
The reason why the progress was several years faster than expected was that over the years, as he mastered more and more Void-level runes, Chen Yuan transformed them into treasure-refining runes and then extracted their essence, applying some of the runes to secret techniques.
And because these runes are all related to the attributes of time and space, Chen Yuan, after the "Extreme Point Sword Light", relied on these runes to create a second True God-level secret technique!
Furthermore, because these runes are all at the Void level, this secret technique became a ninth-order secret technique as soon as it was created, and it was only in its initial stage.
With a little further refinement, Chen Yuan can advance it to the peak of the ninth rank, making it comparable to the Extreme Sword Aura, which was also affected by the secret runes and advanced to the peak of the ninth rank.
As for the name of this secret technique, Chen Yuan named it Time-Space Blast!
As the name suggests, the effect of this secret technique is to create a miniature universe that explodes instantly, causing widespread damage.
He initially pursued the "One Thought Universe" approach, but since the One Thought Universe was ultimately the method of an Eternal True God, it was naturally difficult for a mere True God-level secret technique to replicate.
But Chen Yuan was equally certain that he would be able to do it in the future; at least his current direction was correct, and he had indeed created a miniature universe.
However, the structure of this Yu Shen is not very stable and cannot exist for a long time, so Chen Yuan can only choose to release its power instantly by exploding, forming a large-scale damage, which is exactly the opposite of the single-target penetration of the Extreme Point Sword Aura.
In reality, the spacetime blast technique was only a work in progress; Chen Yuan's true goal was to create a universe.
According to his estimation, when this secret technique breaks through to the Void level, perhaps the universe he creates can exist for a long time, and only then will the secret technique be truly complete.
