Chapter 305: Halfway Done
"Huh~ Time flies so fast. You've become so old now, Kombumaru." Ren Lian Lingyi teased Kombumaru who had grown a white beard.
"There's no other way. I feel like this is the only way I can do if I want to go further," Kombumaru said.
As Konbu Maru's innate Qi became filled, the traces of the longevity surgery were repaired by the innate Qi, which caused Konbu Maru's body to return to its old state.
But this is not a big deal, because the effect of the secret ritual of prolonging life is still there.
Moreover, Ren Lian Lingyi could see that Kombumaru was crossing the threshold of LV90, and the elemental organ, the Pseudo-God's Eye, in his body was maturing.
In other words, it changes from a creation of Qi and elements to a simple organ.
According to the calculations of Ren Lian Lingyi and Lei Dianying, if this organ is successfully constructed, it will really be able to break the saying that the upper limit of humans is LV90 so far.
Let humans truly step into the realm belonging to the gods' followers and top elemental creatures.
"Are you nervous?" asked Ren Lian Lingyi.
Kombumaru smiled and said, "I am not very nervous, but it seems that Master Renren is very nervous."
"After all, this is unprecedented in Teyvat." Ren Lian Lingyi also admitted that he was indeed a little nervous.
"Don't be too nervous." Kombumaru comforted Ren Lian Lingyi, "Anyway, I've lived for so many extra years, so even if I fail, it doesn't really matter."
"Are you blaming me for not making arrangements for Ah Xiang?"
"There were some at the beginning, but now there are none." Kombumaru said, "After all, I have heard about how precious some resources are."
The two chatted casually. This year, Konbumaru is over a hundred years old.
But even though his body has expelled all traces of the longevity surgery, although he cannot compare with the appearance of a middle-aged man with the effects of the longevity surgery, he still looks like an old man in his sixties, not too old.
"It seems that the life-extending effect of 'Qi' is quite good."
"...I'm ready." Following Kombumaru's words, Ren Lian Lingyi also closed his mouth and left the laboratory.
Nodding to General Lei Dian, Ren Lian Lingyi and the general looked at the data from various instruments together.
"The artificial organs have begun to intervene in the blood circulation system." Various scholars began to report on their progress.
"The degree of blood elementalization has increased."
"The artificial organ begins to connect to the blood circulation."
"The blood circulation system is functioning normally."
"Begin to connect other organs..."
"The simulated organ is functioning normally. We can start the breakthrough."
"I don't feel anything wrong, and I feel good about myself. Gaoling Konbu is applying for a level breakthrough." Kombumaru's steady voice sounded.
"Allow Gaoling Kunbu to make a level breakthrough." General Lei Dian ordered.
The elemental force in the simulated organ began to undergo a qualitative change, driving Kombumaru to evolve into an elemental creature.
A blue light flashed in Ren Lian Lingyi's eyes. This was the result of his analysis system and scanning system operating at full capacity.
The situation was similar on General Raiden's side, with purple lightning flashing in his eyes. He was fully analyzing Kombumaru's promotion. The significance of Kombumaru's promotion was enormous, as it was not only a class leap for mortals, but also represented the possibility of moving from human to god.
Suddenly General Lei Dian frowned, and then Blade Lian Lingyi also frowned.
"Prepare to activate the thunder pill." Ren Lian Lingyi ordered.
"Yes." The scholars who were helping quickly activated the thunder pill that had been prepared long ago.
Ren Lian Lingyi nodded, but it was less than ten seconds before he continued, "Activate multiple times, forget it... activate all the prepared thunder pills."
This guy's body is gradually breaking down, and he doesn't seem to feel it at all.
However, Lei Dan can also treat this situation.
The activated Lei Dan can not only heal his injuries, but also make his elementalization smoother.
The remaining eleven Thunder Dan in the laboratory were activated together, and Kombumaru's body was completely enveloped in electric light.
"The life energy level is starting to increase." Ren Lian Lingyi suddenly discovered that the life energy level index, which had been fluctuating but not increasing, finally began to increase.
So he concentrated more carefully on observing the data of the kelp pill's promotion.
The fluctuation of life energy levels is easy to understand. That's because Konbu Maru is transforming the life form from pure material life to semi-material and semi-elemental life.
I don’t know about other worlds, but in the world of Teyvat, the simple material life structure is no longer sufficient to support life forms above LV90+.
For example, one can only be promoted by transforming into an elemental life or a semi-elemental life.
Demon-level life can basically only be pure elemental life.
(Orobas the Great Snake is an exception. He is the only demon-level life form with flesh and blood among all the demons that have appeared so far.)
"Promotion successful." A scholar exclaimed in a low voice.
It turned out that Konbumaru's life energy level had surpassed the LV90+ threshold and was promoted to LV91.
"The activity of the elements is decreasing and settling."
"The life energy level has stabilized."
In the laboratory, Kombumaru opened his eyes.
Now he has become a half-demon-like being, born with the ability to control elemental forces.
His life also became very long. According to his own estimation, he could live for at least another thousand years.
"Congratulations, your promotion is complete." The experimenter put on a new set of clothes that had been prepared long ago for him.
Kombumaru walked out of the laboratory, and Renlian Lingyi and General Raiden congratulated him on his promotion.
Although he congratulated him, Ren Lian Lingyi still warned him: "Although your life energy level has been temporarily stabilized, your life form has not been completely stabilized. In the near future, you should stabilize your life form as planned long ago."
…
"General, what do you think?"
"It can only be said that it is half successful. It can only be said that it verifies that our original theory is correct." The general said, "The last part of his body has collapsed. In the end, he relied entirely on the power of Lei Dan to complete his semi-elemental transformation."
"The data collected this time is very valuable." Ren Lian Lingyi also nodded, "Next we need to thoroughly describe the promotion process."
"This aspect still needs to be left to Aying." said General Lei Dian.
"Although I am as smart as A Ying, this is ultimately A Ying's strong point."
"Then I will do my research first." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "The factors for promotion must be subdivided as much as possible. Only when they are subdivided sufficiently will it be safer when promoted."
"Then you can study it slowly. I'll go ahead."
Ren Lian Lingyi scratched his head: "Can't you take me with you? We have to fly back."
