Chapter 503: The Stripped Away Protagonist Aura
Chapter 503: The Stripped Away Protagonist Aura
"It's been stripped out. It's been about a month. What is this thing?"
In the Endless Abyss, Qin Muye finally managed to strip away the protagonist aura from Wang Ao using a remotely controlled thread.
In his hand was something akin to a cloud of ominous mist, neither solid nor gaseous, but rather a peculiar substance.
"I don't think the protagonist aura should normally be like this. It's probably because of the excessive negative luck."
A normal protagonist aura should not be associated with anything ominous. The current state is primarily due to the extensive misfortune Wang Ao has experienced.
"Fortunately, the Good Fortune deity's role was somewhat useful. Otherwise, I might not have been able to successfully extract it."
To Qin Muye, this cloud-like protagonist aura was not substantial but rather ethereal. Without his modifications to the Good Fortune deity's role, he might not have been able to capture it. Once it escaped, it would have been impossible to observe further.
This special energy is very unique, capable of granting a person a protagonist-like progression, almost like destiny itself.
It satisfies various needs for growth to a certain extent, but it also comes with a certain responsibility.
Why is it called a protagonist? Because everything in your life is part of a dramatic destiny, and those with a protagonist aura are the main characters in this drama. Without them, the story cannot proceed. It may seem prestigious, but in reality, they are merely puppets controlled by fate.
The similar talents of Heavenly Mandate Child and Fate Child should also be in the same situation. It's not impossible to break free, as Ji Shan did.
In most cases, one cannot break free on their own and must rely on external forces.
The Heavenly Mandate Child restriction on Ji Shan was not broken by Qin Muye, but by the Great Emperor of Demonic Machinery. Previously, there was a chance he might have been led back into the protagonist's path, but now, as a world prototype, he cannot be influenced by such destinies or heavenly wills.
He has completely broken free from the constraints.
"Ah, this is indeed a big pitfall."
Qin Muye felt somewhat helpless. He had initially thought about giving himself a protagonist aura, but after researching its essence, he found it to be too weak.
Moreover, the protagonist aura is not omnipotent. Even without his temporary skill enhancements, Qin Muye could still defeat a protagonist.
The protagonist's good luck is undeniable, but what use is good luck when the entire world is being destroyed?
Furthermore, with the Shared Fate domain trait, the protagonist aura has no effect on Qin Muye. If the protagonist's luck could shake the entire Endless Abyss, it would mean that the protagonist possesses great strength, not just great luck.
Luck is part of strength. When someone's luck reaches an extreme, it can no longer be called luck but rather genuine strength.
"This thing will definitely provide some fun, but I've worked hard to become a supporting character. If I use it, I'll become the protagonist, no, I need the protagonist aura of a third-generation protagonist. The one I have might not even be a protagonist aura anymore."
Qin Muye complained. The protagonist aura he had, while still a protagonist aura, was not a positive one.
If he were to absorb it, he might inherit the negative luck of over two thousand points.
Like before, after Qin Muye stripped away the protagonist aura, Wang Ao died. According to Qin Muye's autopsy, the cause of death was a heart attack.
Fortunately, the cause of death was not the autopsy, otherwise, Qin Muye might have laughed out loud.
"So, I can only refine it into a protagonist radar for now. After all, the protagonist is just a vessel, and the protagonist aura is the essence."
Qin Muye was not interested in becoming a second-generation protagonist and could only wait for the third generation.
However, it is unknown how long it will take to generate a third-generation protagonist. The key point, the Tower of Heaven, has already closed. This world cannot directly influence the Tower of Heaven to appear again. The Tower of Heaven is essentially a rigid program, and altering it would make it a one-time use item.
From what he can see, the Great Cataclysm does not have the ability to destroy the world, at most it can reset civilization.
It cannot even affect the Tower of Heaven, the Firewall, and other program devices. Therefore, Qin Muye suspects that even standing still, he might not be buried by the spiritual calamity, as this so-called Great Cataclysm only targets intelligent life forms.
Even if one experiences a lot, it's uncertain when resistance will form.
Such a thing is not impossible, as people are always evolving. If one were to be really serious, cultivation is essentially a form of evolution.
"The spirit calamity mud in the Spirit Land, although it hasn't overflowed, it will definitely take at least ten years, at most three to five years."
"Without the Tower of Heaven, the protagonist's development will definitely be restricted."
Qin Muye knew a bit; no matter how heaven-defying the protagonist's early stage is, the Tower of Heaven cannot be bypassed. The specific mechanism he hasn't figured out yet, but he suspects that the Tower of Heaven might be similar to the relationship between the Root Mother Goddess and the Mental Network. Of course, it's just a similarity.
Therefore, for the protagonist to further meet the spirit calamity's requirements, they need to get the Tower of Heaven's Luck MAX + 10 enhancement.
Back in the day, the people who made the Tower of Heaven and the Spirit Land firewall might have relied on this opportunity to establish the entire system for dealing with the spirit calamity mud, which was a mutual game of tactics between both parties.
The protagonist aura is like obtaining a large amount of data from world big data, then performing calculations based on the host, and finally forming various outcomes.
Unfortunately, the data on this protagonist aura in Qin Muye's hands is too heavily encumbered, meaning it has turned negative. Otherwise, using it to improve data reception would have been very effective.
This thing has extremely high compatibility and versatility, estimated only a small portion of the worlds would be incompatible or unable to use it. Most worlds would only need parameter adjustments to adapt to it.
"Perhaps this thing is essentially something akin to the world's origin or the world's core derivative, so it possesses a certain degree of versatility."
"Hope the third-generation protagonist appears soon, although the protagonist aura is lagging, its essence is not lagging. If it can be successfully researched, the Endless Abyss will greatly accelerate the world's progress."
Although devouring enough of the world can also make the Endless Abyss evolve toward the world, it still has significant limitations, such as the Lord Era.
In the past, the transformation of the territory did not involve the core of the territory. Even if the Mage Tower was transformed into a floating city and then into the Endless Abyss, it was still centered around the original Mage Tower.
That is to say, no matter what, the Mage Tower still exists, it's just that the territory's determination has expanded in scope.
If the Endless Abyss is to evolve toward the world, it is not the expansion of the territory, but the direct alteration of the Lord Era’s determination.
Just like after devouring the world, the floating city continent of the main body does not have any growth, while layers of the abyss, dreamlands, and the like will grow, because the floating city continent of the main body is limited by the permissions of the Lord Era.
Therefore, since gradual means are ineffective, Qin Muye can only think of ways to take action himself.
Because he knows that if he really waits for himself to obtain the authority of the Endless Abyss, it will take a very long time.
Now, he has only 25%, and one-fourth still relies on a large amount of artificial territory traits for interference. As the territory traits increase, the authority obtained through this means will gradually decrease. He estimates that after reaching 30%, it will only be able to purely increase the territory's strength and will not be able to obtain such extensive authority anymore.
This is not his conjecture but is based on substantial evidence. It is estimated that the share of territory traits is only these much, and no more can be occupied.
Fortunately, after Qin Muye obtained 25% of the authority, in researching the troop buildings, this thing can probably occupy about 30%, and the rest should be in the troops and heroes.
As for treasures, they are actually already included in the territory traits.
So, this is a long-term project. Qin Muye wants to achieve 100% control, it is impossible without a thousand years, and he cannot wait for a thousand years to make substantial development to the territory.
"Okay, I'll start by creating the protagonist radar, then figure out a way to trigger the world's major catastrophe. Otherwise, I might complete the mission and miss out on the benefits of the time loop in this instance."
