Chapter 692: Gamers
Chapter 692: Gamers
Before reaching this point, Lindsey had seriously pondered whether the Celestial Staircase, as hard as it was, could accommodate the Purple Vine Branch without any issues.
But the outcome was astonishing.
The moment he took out the Purple Vine Branch, he felt an inexplicable life force emanating from the branch in his hand.
This piece of wood seemed to yearn for something.
Having been taken away from the cave by Lindsey, it now wanted to take root and sprout here, reconnecting the two separated worlds.
Alice sensed this change and watched Lindsey silently.
Lindsey, too, remained silent.
With a solemn gesture, he pushed the Purple Vine Branch into the Celestial Staircase beneath his feet.
Crack!
A magical scene unfolded before their eyes.
The lifeless inorganic rock unexpectedly split open, willingly creating a gap.
The broken Celestial Staircase accepted the branch, allowing the tip of the Purple Vine Branch to be smoothly accommodated.
A deep rumble reverberated.
The ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
The sturdy black surface of the Celestial Staircase gradually faded, and this power converged on the Purple Vine Branch, aiding its rapid growth until it became a vine over ten meters long.
The vine's end extended into the void.
It tore through the surrounding chaotic void, carving out a safe path.
However, as the Celestial Staircase was already broken, it couldn't provide the vine with the power to grow fully.
Thus, this path was merely a beginning.
Witnessing this, Alice, standing beside Lindsey, couldn't conceal her astonishment:
"It's actually repairing the connection between the two worlds!"
"Lindsey, where did you get this extraordinary thing?"
"From an adventure long ago," Lindsey smiled humbly, "and it's not over yet; I still need to make it grow faster."
Lindsey extended his right hand.
The Moon Tear, which once lay on the adventurer's chest, was now attached to the Purple Vine Branch. The power from the world's origin immediately surged outward, transmitting in the form of vitality.
Whoosh—
The vine over ten meters long started to grow forward.
This time, it not only grew forward but also expanded to both sides, widening a narrow path into a grand avenue.
"..."
Undoubtedly, the road at the world's connection was being restored.
But Lindsey, who had bent down, fell silent.
He realized he couldn't move.
The surface of the Moon Tear was firmly stuck to his right hand.
This extraordinary object not only provided immense vitality to the Purple Vine Branch but was also infusing power into Lindsey's body!
"Lindsey, are you okay?"
Alice, with her keen perception, noticed the issue.
The girl exuded a dignified aura, her sword tightly gripped in her hand.
No further words were needed.
At Lindsey's slightest signal, she would unsheathe her sword without hesitation and sever his hand.
Lindsey quickly shook his head:
"No, no, no!"
"It's fine; it's helping me."
Alice's expression froze for a moment, and then she understood the truth before her eyes:
"This is... the world's power in return!"
"Because you saved it and repaired the world's connection, this power is bestowed upon you?"
Lindsey smiled back at her:
"I suppose so."
At this very moment, an immense life force was continuously flowing into Lindsey's body.
As the foundation, even surpassing the Will Essence, the Life Essence rapidly enhanced his abilities under its nourishment.
Those who possessed Life Essence typically had extremely long lifespans, requiring centuries of accumulation to upgrade it.
However, in an unexpected turn of events, Lindsay's growth stage saw his Essence break through its limits, unleashing a more powerful force from the Life Essence that flooded his body.
【Life Essence Advancement】
【Life Lineage (Growth) → (Maturity)】
The text on the panel changed, and the concept of his life force transitioned from the growth phase to maturity.
As the owner of this power, Lindsay first felt that his physical body had become extremely strong. Unlike the enhancement of Will Essence, the majority of Life Essence's power was focused on his physical body.
Lindsay's physical attributes surged by 50 points, while his agility and strength increased by 40 points each. Attributes like Will and Charm, which were not directly related to his physical body, increased by 10 points each, and Intelligence rose by a modest 5 points.
"Ah—"
The moment he completed his upgrade, Lindsay felt a sudden lightness in his hand as his connection to the Moon Tear was severed. His body leaned back, and he was caught in Alice's arms: "Lindsay, you've successfully advanced?"
Lindsay nodded, his voice filled with unbridled joy: "That's right."
Alice praised him with an approving tone: "This is the reward for a hero."
Lindsay was still catching his breath, adapting to the new power within him. The enhancement of his attributes was not the only effect of the Life Essence. Just like the Will Essence's Heaven's Ladder, which defined human and divine rights at this stage, the Life Essence's Life Lineage had its unique effects.
Lindsay's physical recovery ability was greatly enhanced, and his lifespan increased dramatically. He no longer needed to self-mutilate to confirm his condition. With a slight perception of the change in his life force, Lindsay was certain of one thing: he was now immune to most diseases in the world. Toxins could no longer affect his body, and unless his limbs were severed, he could automatically recover from severe injuries like bone fractures or muscle tears with just a week of rest.
Moreover, his lifespan had increased significantly. The explosion of Life Essence greatly extended Lindsay's lifespan limit! Without using any external means to prolong his life, he could now live for approximately 1500 years! Other Awakened, at this stage, had a lifespan limit of around 200 to 300 years, while Life Essence holders had a limit of under 1000 years. The extra 500 years Lindsay gained were a gift from the world's power! Considering he was only 23 years old, Lindsay could indeed be called a baby compared to his lifespan.
"..."
Lindsay was lost in thought for a moment. However, some things wouldn't pause due to his slow thinking. When both Life Essence and Will Essence met the requirements, his Game Player skill, which had been stuck at Phase 4 for years, finally changed.
【Game Player Upgrade】
【Ashen Player (Phase 4) → Gamer (Phase 5)】
【Module Slot: 3 → 4】
【Activated Ability: Remote Fun】
【Remote Fun: Players can spend Essence to temporarily lend modules to others for use.】
