Soul Trigger

Chapter 519 Promotion
His vision suddenly shut down like a monitor screen going off, and darkness invaded him——

Ascension Protocol?!
Ji Li's consciousness did not disappear, nor was he in a coma, he just could not perceive anything except himself.

In the past, when he was in Murphy's megastructure, this situation would only occur when he closed all the neural connection ports of the brain in the tank and performed a full-body prosthetic inspection.

Something is wrong. How can the Ascension Protocol react to the "Ouroboros Power"? ?

The last time the Ascension Protocol unlocked a function was when he first absorbed alien crystals, and that was far from the current situation.

Since coming to this world, the Ascension Protocol has been in a strange quantum state for him.

According to Murphy's law of megastructure, the hardware capable of carrying the ascension protocol no longer exists, so Ji Li has always thought that this guy is running in his current physical brain.

But as he learned more about the spiritual essence system, Ji Li felt that things might not be that simple, not to mention that there was something wrong with his memory.

It's surprising, but it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Ji Li was thinking about the reason for the reaction between the Ouroboros power and the Ascension Protocol, which made him link his thoughts to the Alien Crystal.

Both of these things are related to the other world, so is it possible that the reason for my lost memory is also somehow related to the other world?

More mysteries emerged, but Ji Li was now in a vegetative state. He had to wait until the neural connection of the Ascension Protocol was restarted and completed to see what the newly added [Loop Calculation] function said.

Ji Li gradually calmed down and tried to call up the ascension protocol panel first.

There was no problem in the process. The Ascension Protocol, which had entered the restart state, responded to itself, but there were only logical boxes and simple text, but no voice.

This is a simplified operating method for most functions in the restart state.

Since he was able to call up the panel of the Ascension Protocol, it meant that he was actually in the soul space at the moment, but because of the restart of the Ascension Protocol, it became dark.

After sensing his current spiritual essence, Ji Li called up the current four-dimensional panel: -
Name: Ji Li

Soul Core: Odin

Will: 283
Super sense: 107.2
Creation: 78.9
Affinity: 349.1
[Personality Entity: Death Star]

[Echoing Spiritual Veins: A Sprouting Layer]

[Corruption Curse Pattern: Second Pattern Extension]

[Soul Quality: Immortal/Double Scar]

[Spiritual: Disdainful Echo, Rainbow Gaze, Star Color]

【characteristic:
All attributes amplified level 6

Willpower Amplification Level 6
Affinity Mastery Level 1

Super Sense Amplification Level 4
Creative Amplification Level 2...】

【Cognitive Index: 1093】

[Arrogance Index: 374]
-
The cognitive index is over a thousand. Ji Li had never accumulated this number when he was in Silla.

But he was vaguely aware that after reaching the immortal stage, the demand for these two indexes would probably become greater and greater, far beyond the dominance level.

As for the numerous characteristics and abilities, Ji Li briefly skipped over them.

The personality entity has naturally become a death star, which is the result of multiple integration after completing the immortality of the self.

Compared with the four dimensions in the domination stage, the value has increased dramatically.

The three columns worth noting are [Echoing Spiritual Veins], [Corrupted Spell Runes], and [Spiritual Grid].

Needless to say, spirituality is the core ability of the immortal stage of self-nature, and the focus is on the other two.

Echoing Spiritual Veins is a special level under the Recalling Immortal Stage, with a total of six levels.

Each time you break through a level, you can add additional special abilities to your spiritual power, but no new spiritual power will be generated.

For example, Little Daddy can't change from setting fire to spitting ice, and Ji Li can't change from summoning dragon fireflies to summoning something else.

But fire can become hotter, can burn dimensions, and even lead to various extensions that ignite emotions, but fire can only be fire.

According to Little Daddy, the spiritual meridian is the result of the continuous solidification of self-nature during the resonance stage.

This represents a further recognition and extension of one's own will.

At the end of the extension, after breaking through the sixth layer, the spirit core and self-nature will burst out with dark light.

The Dark Light is completely condensed from the Self-Nature, spreading out, covering the dimensions and allowing the entire world to practice its own will.

When this goal is finally achieved, it becomes a paradox.

These are the original words of the old man, which are a bit exaggerated.

The systems derived from different doctrines may have different interpretations and extensions, but the core is this.

As for the [Corruption Rune], it is a similar thing, which allows a Dead Apostle in the second-runner state to enter the level of a complete Dead Apostle.

It’s just that the principles are very different from the human spirit.

If the human spirit is to influence the world through oneself and to practice one's own will to achieve paradox, then the curse pattern is the absolute sublimation of the evil self.

Continuously solidifying itself, each rune is a force of malicious curse, eventually becoming corrupted and becoming the [Cursed One].

These are also original words from Tombstone.

Ji Li’s current level is the second line. To reach a complete Dead Apostle like Tombstone, he needs to reach the seventh line to achieve [Complete Form].

Regardless of whether it is a human spirit or a dead disciple, these things at the spiritual cultivation level, when implemented from the ascension agreement to Ji Li himself, I am afraid that different variants will appear.

After all, Ji Li has three spiritual powers.

"If what I think is correct, the cognitive index..."

As Ji Li's thoughts turned, his cognitive index began to jump at a high speed, and his [Echoing Spiritual Network] column also began to blur rapidly.

An illusion of "growth" burst out from the depths of his soul. When Ji Li came to his senses, the more than 1,000 cognitive indexes had returned to zero.

Looking at the Echoing Spiritual Vein again, it has turned into [Second Level Divergence].

It should be just a little bit away from breaking through to the third level:

Willpower: 323 (+40)

Super sense: 119.2 (+12)

Creation: 84.9 (+6)

Affinity: 349.1
The four-dimensional panel also changed, but there was no increase in affinity.

Is there a random situation?
Because he was in the soul space, Ji Li simulated and summoned a sky full of dragon fireflies.

He could sense that there were some changes in the dragon firefly as well, but he needed to experiment to find out what exactly they were.

As the number of dragon fireflies increased, Ji Li could feel the obvious effort.

Finally, he felt completely out of control, and the dragon fireflies he summoned kept disappearing into the air. He knew that this was his current limit.

Looking at the metal storm in the sky, Ji Li pinched the group of dragon fireflies together and turned them into a huge cube.

Through the calculation function of the Ascension Protocol, this cube that is several stories high is the total number of dragon fireflies that Ji Li can now control.

In the real dimension, these are all transformed by transforming spiritual pressure and arrogant emotions.

By further piecing together and compressing the volume, the huge cube can be compressed to a level two times higher, with a higher density and higher precision, and can be transformed into a more sophisticated mechanical body with better quality and lethality.

But further compression is not possible and further promotion is required.

If it continues to advance at this level, I'm afraid the size of the dragon firefly will be enough to shrink to the true nano level.

According to the calculations of the Ascension Protocol, compared to the first level, the total number of dragon fireflies he can control now has increased by 24%-38%.

The spiritual ability [Color of Stars] allows the dragon fireflies to be continuously stacked on itself, constantly improving its abilities.

Ji Li has not fully utilized this ability yet. He only used it with all his strength when he burst into speed against Li Jiangxing.

The specific effect still needs more actual combat to test, but the total number of dragon fireflies is naturally the more the better.

As Death Star is continuously added to oneself, its quality, power, and spiritual output capacity will become higher, and its size will also become larger.

By [compressing] the dragon fireflies, they can reduce their size and make the structure of the Death Star more sophisticated, further increasing the mass density.

However, controlling such a large group of dragon fireflies poses a considerable challenge to the environment and the total amount of spiritual energy.

At present, it seems that this time the improvement of the spiritual network ability has increased the upper limit of the number of dragon fireflies.

After injecting all the arrogance index into the spell pattern, Ji Li's spell pattern also reached the level of [Three Patterns Germination].

The manifestation of the curse is the change in his eyes when he uses spiritual essence.

There were two spell patterns before, but now there are three.

The change in abilities is also reflected in the dragon fireflies.

Unlike the increase in the number of spiritual channels, the functions of dragon fireflies have been extended:

Ji Li summoned a dragon firefly, and its tiny mechanical body exploded finely, emitting a small beam of iridescent light:
"Floating cannon."

The four-dimensional changes this time are:
Will: 323
Super sense: 123.4 (+4.2)

Creation: 96.9 (+12)

Affinity: 387.1 (+38)

No willpower was increased, but affinity, another main attribute of Ji Li, was significantly increased.

One improves the quality of the dragon firefly itself, and the other extends the ability and use of the dragon firefly.

Spiritual veins are the extension of a person's spirit around the ability to awaken aura, while curse patterns are the extension of more malicious abilities. There is a difference between the two.

But Ji Li felt that it was probably because he had not awakened the true spiritual core ability, that is, awakened the spiritual light.

Therefore, whether it is the promotion of the spell pattern or the promotion of the spiritual meridian, it feels a bit like winning a prize for him.

In any case, the improvement in stats and abilities is obvious, and that's enough.

As for spiritual power, it still needs to be tested in the real dimension.

However, as Ji Li's level increases, the effects of the two abilities [Disdainful Echo] and [Rainbow Gaze] will become stronger and stronger, and they can affect more and more people.

Gradually, a prompt indicating that the Ascension Protocol had been restarted popped up in front of him, and the complete Ascension Protocol panel also appeared in front of him.

The darkness around was also expanding rapidly, transforming into a museum of soul space again.

Ji Li quickly began to search for the content that kept popping up:

[Neural connection restart completed, important data decryption completed, binary code completed...]

[The protocol block has been completed, and a new protocol function has been added: loop calculation. ]

[According to the content of the agreement, we will start showing you the new features of the Ascension Protocol——]

Densely packed logical boxes popped up in front of Ji Li's eyes, flowing like a waterfall.

His eyes flickered continuously, and finally he fell into a brief moment of absent-mindedness:——
Circular Algorithm: An expanded function of the binary encoder, designed to simulate some of the capabilities of the power code, observably pre-decoding all matter and existence and shattering it.

Brief: Observe a predetermined future that is about to happen to oneself, decode it and completely shatter it, temporarily changing its direction.

The current decoding limit is 3 seconds.
-
These descriptions are a bit complicated, but if Ji Li understands them correctly, they mean:
Predict what will happen in three seconds and erase the event itself.
