Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 350 Substitutes and Clones.

"Is this the brother that Boom Boom was talking about?" Casey (Mewtwo's clone) looked at Lu Li curiously.

"Ok?"

Casey quickly realized something was wrong.

This human is strange! How can this human have so much divine aura?
As a newly born deity, Mewtwo did not receive much inheritance and could not even recognize all the deities, but it knew what deities were like.

He also knows the form of divine power. Of course, right now He is just an avatar, and a weak one at that, but His vision is still there.

He immediately noticed the complex divine aura surrounding Lu Li.

Normal type, Ground type, Fire type, Steel type, Grass type, Psychic type...

Humans are such a mixed bunch!

Mewtwo was very curious about how this human managed to get involved with so many gods.

However, right now He was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless Casey, so He could only look at Lu Li with curiosity.

Lu Li skillfully picked up Bao Bao.

Bao Bao is already a 12-year-old girl. Because of her superpowers, Bao Bao's physique is not as good as her peers, and even her mental development is not as good.

This doesn't mean Bao Bao is mentally challenged; quite the opposite, the reason Bao Bao is immature is precisely because his IQ is too high.

The amplification brought about by terrifying superpowers is usually reflected in the brain. Melo previously said that she was the most outstanding woman in the world.

Lu Li didn't believe a word of it, because he knew the woman was bragging.

When it comes to excellence, whether it's talent or genes, Lu Li has never seen anyone in the real world more outrageous than Boom. Even considering those superpowered characters in anime, Boom is undoubtedly number one.

Lu Li asked, "Has anything changed at home recently?"

"No! But I have a new partner." Bao Bao happily pointed to "Casey" and introduced, "He's my new partner. Don't be fooled by his squinty eyes and listless appearance, he's really good at video games."

Lu Li nodded.

The Alakazam clan is known for its high intelligence; they're just good at video games. If it weren't for the world's rules, Lu Li even suspected that Alakazam could cosplay as a trainer.

A short while later, Wei also rushed back.

Seeing Bao Bao clinging to Lu Li, Wei was speechless.

Bao Bao is getting older, but she still likes to cling to Lu Li so much. What will happen to her in the future?

Wei smiled and said, "Lu Li, welcome back."

Lu Li nodded: "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"It's not hard at all," Wei quickly shook her head to indicate that it wasn't hard.

After all, the real work was done by the elves and the orphans of the Wildfire Gang; she mainly just talked and spent most of her time training.

"During the few days I was away, did anything unexpected happen at home?" Lu Li asked again.

Wei replied, "There haven't been any accidents at home, but there's been quite a commotion in the Three Monkeys area."

"Is that so?"

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't understand where this super energy came from, since nothing was wrong at home, then there was no problem.

Lu Li asked, "How is apprentice Xiong?"

Hearing this, Freya looked at Vi curiously.

She remembered that when she left, Xiong's apprentice seemed to have already reached the champion level, and now, a few days later, Xiong's apprentice must be even stronger.

Wei replied dejectedly, "He's already at the peak of the champion level, but no matter how hard Xiong tries, he can't break through to the master level."

Lu Li analyzed, "The most important thing for a master is to comprehend the power of laws, and Xiong's apprentice is probably lacking in this comprehension."

He had never broken through to the Master level, nor did he have much experience in doing so, but he had received the knowledge inheritance of the God of a Thousand Faces and knew roughly what the God's Realm was all about.

"Furthermore, I suspect that if Xiong's disciple wants to break through, he needs to comprehend something else, such as the true meaning of martial arts," Lu Li continued.

"Sigh!" Wei sighed in frustration.

She couldn't help with any of what Lu Li said.

Suddenly, Bao Bao asked curiously, "By the way, brother, did you win the championship in the Victory Tournament?"

"How did you know?" Lu Li looked at Bao Bao in surprise.

Bao Bao explained, "Last night I dreamt that you became the champion."

Lu Li asked casually, "Bao Bao's dream was really accurate. Did you dream about anything else?"

This isn't a dream, this is clearly a premonition of the future!

However, given Bao Bao's talent, it's not surprising that the other party can predict the future; in fact, it's quite normal.

"What else did you dream about?" Bao Bao asked, gnawing on his fingernails as he tried to recall.

Then she said, "I also dreamed of a special humanoid elf. It stood in the sky above our manor, watching us. It was an elf I had never seen before, like a god from legend, but it also felt very familiar."

"Sigh~"

Lu Li gasped; he seemed to know what this meant. What exactly was this "excessive superpower energy"?

To verify his guess, Lu Li quickly asked, "Does it resemble a humanoid creature or a feline, and is entirely silver-white?"

"what!"

"Brother, how did you know?" Bao Bao looked at Lu Li in surprise.

She hadn't even said anything, yet her brother already knew. Had he also seen that elf? Or had they had the same dream?

"Just guessing," Lu Li replied with a smile.

This confirms it: the sudden surge in super energy in this place is very likely because Mewtwo stayed here for a period of time.

Thinking of this, Lu Li felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, Mewtwo wasn't in a berserk state, and fortunately, it wasn't interested in this place, otherwise things would have been really messed up.

…………

In the spiritual world.

"It's a clone? You didn't do this, did you?" Groudon looked at Talebagos with suspicion.

“Not entirely.” Talebagos shook his head.

Although He did connect the fate of that new god with Lu Li and the others, it was only a rough outline. He really didn't expect that the other party would deliberately leave an avatar here, and such a weak avatar at that.

Groudon had no doubt about this; Talebagos' ability was indeed like that.

"Luckily you didn't mess up this time," Groudon mocked.

Talebagos nodded in deep agreement, saying with relief, "Fortunately, this new god still has some sense." "Don't be too happy yet. The opponent left an avatar here instead of its main body. It's estimated that the opponent hasn't fully mastered the power of the rules yet, which is not good news for us."

For established gods like themselves, a new god who hasn't yet mastered the power of the rules in the real world is a ticking time bomb.

Who knows, the bomb might explode one day, and the real world will be finished. Then we'll probably have to restart the world, and restarting the world isn't as easy as it used to be.

"This era is quite lively, I wonder if it's your fault." Groudon glared at Talebagos with extreme disdain.

The duty of the god of fate is to safeguard the river of destiny, preventing the world and the times from spiraling out of control.

Because this thing messed things up, the era has gone completely mad, with all sorts of outrageous humans crowding into the same time, and this scene has even been replicated in the gods.

This era is absolutely the most chaotic era since the birth of the world, without exception.

"This is a calamity. If we survive, the world will ascend to a higher dimension, and everyone will be fine. If we don't, we can just start over." Talebagos had already begun to give up on himself.

Anyway, He has done His best to help this world "overcome the tribulation," so if it really can't, then He can't be entirely blamed.

"Should we make contact with this new god?" Groudon asked.

Talebagos shook his head: "Forget it, it's unnecessary. It's just a clone."

He did not want these new gods to see his weakness as the old god, so he rejected Groudon's offer without hesitation.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep now." Groudon said and then dozed off on the spot.

He wasn't very interested in the new gods, since they weren't of the same nature.

Talebagos shook his head and also chose to continue sleeping.

On one hand, he was bored, and on the other hand, he could watch the river of time while sleeping and recover his strength.

…………

After dinner, Lu Li went to the basement alone.

After taking out the Thorn Cone (the divine object that sealed Melmetta), Lu Li carefully poured out a small amount of metallic fluid.

He needed to study and analyze these substances, and then deduce the Merotan candy. The reason he had no clue before was because he had not yet gained the power to win.

The power of victory is special, even somewhat similar to digitizing reality, although it is only superficial, but he has benefited greatly from it.

After studying until midnight, Lu Li sighed softly.

It seems to be taking shape, but I can't quite grasp it.

With a sigh, Lu Li decided to use the magic of spirit transformation. As he had more and more things to do, Lu Li felt increasingly overwhelmed.

Among the knowledge of cultivation arts acquired, there are actually quite a few spells, but those spells are not offensive techniques, but rather auxiliary techniques for cultivation.

One of these spells is called the Clone Technique, which is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique in the Naruto world.

After all, if chakra can do it, there's no reason why spiritual power can't.

The difference between the clone technique and the shadow clone technique lies in the control of will. The shadow clone created by the latter is a temporary independent individual. They even have their own thoughts and sometimes even rebel against the heavenly order.

But the clone technique is different. The essence of the clone technique is actually multitasking. The clones are not temporary independent individuals, but rather multiple bodies within one mind.

For Lu Li, the most troublesome aspect of the clone technique is actually its "localization".

For any spell to be localized, there is a prerequisite: it must have a reference skill, which is a limitation imposed by the rules of the world.

For example, the fertility-inducing technique and growth, the rain-making technique and rain-summoning technique.

In the world of elves, the technique of creating clones also has a reference point.

However, it is not a shadow clone, but a stand-in.

Enhancement Effect: Creates a Stand using your maximum HP and Energy, equal to the Stand's HP and Energy. It can block some damage and effects from attacks. The Stand will disappear if you leave the battle.

However, none of his Pokémon can use Substitute, but Freya's Natu can, as can Natu's Great.

As the best tool spirit, the Great Natural Bird doesn't need to rest; to be precise, its rest time depends on Lu Li's rest time.

After waking up the giant bird, Lu Li explained his requirements.

"substitute?"

He was quite familiar with this skill; it was this skill that allowed it to survive in such a dangerous secret realm.

“I know this well.” After saying that, the Great Natural Bird immediately demonstrated the Stand skill.

The Substitute skill is actually quite useful, whether in the wild or on the battlefield. It's a pretty good skill, and if a Pokémon that knows Substitute can also become invisible, it's an even more amazing skill.

However, Stands also have an absolute and unsolvable flaw, which can even ignore the difference in level.

That means no matter how powerful a Pokémon is, it can only use Substitute three times in battle, unless the opponent's health and energy recover very quickly, like extremely fast. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to use it more than four times.

Lu Li kept taking notes in his notebook. After the Great Natural Bird used its substitute three times, Lu Li thoughtfully put away his notebook.

"Thank you for your trouble. You can go and rest now." Lu Li fully demonstrated what it means to be ruthless when putting down one's pen.

The giant bird didn't mind, nodded, and then teleported away.

After the giant natural bird left, Lu Li resumed his research.

Early the next morning, Lu Li summoned the mother and daughter birds directly. After draining their life force and energy, Lu Li reluctantly let them leave.

Lu Li discovered that the Substitute was truly a divine skill, especially after he combined the Substitute from the Pokémon world with the Clone Technique. This Clone Technique would become a miracle among miracles.

Lu Li, who was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat, finally completed the initial localization of the clone technique on the second night.

This was all thanks to the selfless dedication of the mother and daughter Pokémon. In less than two days, the two Pokémon used Substitute no less than 30 times, averaging 15 times per Pokémon.

However, the results were still gratifying.

First of all, the fairy-like clone technique has become a true clone technique. The normal clone technique will explode if touched, and it may even explode if you do some heavy work.

The clone technique after becoming an elf is different. First of all, all the above-mentioned defects are gone. The clone technique after becoming an elf can even cast spells.

However, the downside is also obvious: it takes a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, this world has the concept of the origin of life. As long as the origin of life is not damaged, the consumed life energy can be replenished.

Even if a human consumes life energy, they can restore it through replenishment, let alone since he is a master alchemist.

Cultivators in this world have countless ways to restore their life energy.

After carefully putting away the notebook, Lu Li immediately used a clone technique. As one-quarter of his maximum life energy and spiritual power were consumed, a clone that looked exactly like Lu Li appeared in front of him.

Lu Li was able to experience two perspectives, or rather, two bodies, in a novel way.

Lu Li somewhat awkwardly controlled his clone to perform some simple actions. After gradually getting used to it, Lu Li let out a heavy breath.

As a cultivator, multitasking is not difficult for him, after all, divine sense is the greatest cheat.

P.S.: The clones are only used for research and the purpose is to accelerate the growth of the main characters.
