God of Pets

Chapter 697 The Use of Abilities

On the desk lay a map of Pengxuan Cave, marked with many areas where mysterious spirits existed, some of which were difficult even for humans to set foot in.

It's not that humans lack the ability to kill those mysterious spirits. With the power of humans in the cave heaven, even the strongest mysterious spirit would find it difficult to withstand a large-scale army encirclement and slaughter.

Those mysterious spirits that humans cannot kill generally fall into two categories. One category is that the mysterious spirits are located in a very special environment where it is difficult for human armies to carry out their methods.

Another possibility is that these mystic spirits are quite unique. Either they coexist in large numbers, or they have various means of escape, making them impossible for the human army to contain.

Chen Guan studied these things in order to prepare for his own advancement.

Although he no longer has a large amount of rare and precious resources, his creation world can now help him level up.

Whether it's rare and precious materials, various mineral veins, mysterious spirits, or even demons and humans, everything can be broken down by the creation of the world into the pure energy it needs.

Of course, Chen Guan would still subconsciously avoid the idea of ​​using people as energy.

Therefore, the best target he could choose was the Mystic.

Because rare and precious natural materials are hard to find, and various mineral veins are also not so easy to discover.

Only the Mystic Spirits are the easiest to find. Chen Guan can go to places that are inconvenient for the main army. He can also catch up with the Mystic Spirits that others have caught up with. In addition, the more Mystic Spirits there are, the better.

The secret of creating the world is not as rigid as my god, and the upper limit of the energy required is not as high as my god, but it still needs to recover slowly on its own, and Chen Guan's energy cannot replenish it.

The energy consumption of the Creation World secret is very special. You can use Creation World with 1 point of spiritual power or 100,000 points of spiritual power.

No matter how much spiritual power you use to create a world, you must wait until the lost spiritual power is restored before you can use it again.

The highest limit of the world is Chen Guan's spiritual power limit.

The more spiritual power you use, the stronger your ability to create worlds becomes. If you only have 1 point of spiritual power, you might only be able to break down a brick into pure energy.

Therefore, the more things need to be broken down, the more spiritual power is required, and creation requires more energy.

Chen Guan used all his spiritual power at once to decompose those two powerful cultivators from the Great Cave Heaven.

As for whether that much spiritual power was actually needed, Chen Guan didn't know at the time, and he would need to gradually explore the details of using the Creation World later.

Another problem with the creation world is that it directly decomposes matter into energy. Because matter completely loses its energy, the spirits killed by the creation world will not drop anything.

Pets, secret cores, inner pills, secret treasures, etc.—nothing will remain; everything will be wiped out in an instant.

Even if you control the amount of spiritual energy used to create the world, and only decompose one of the Mystic Spirit's heads, you still won't be able to create any more pets.

This characteristic is very similar to that of Sora no Ue; the secret spirits erased by Sora no Ue also leave nothing behind.

However, the Empty Leaf is even more extraordinary than the Creation World. Not only does it not explode, but it also does not convert energy. It simply disappears into thin air.

In fact, Chen Guan had been studying this problem. It is impossible for something to disappear completely out of thin air; at most, it can be transformed into another substance.

Just like water evaporates, but that doesn't mean the water completely disappears.

The things that Kong Ye erased seemed to have truly disappeared, completely severing their connection with this world.

Furthermore, the 50% probability of empty leaves is also very strange. Why would there be such a 50% probability?

Such an abstract function doesn't seem like the ability that a Heavenly Mandate Treasure should possess; it's more like a rule of secret laws.

However, Chen Guan knew very well that this was not a secret rule.

Furthermore, Chen Guan had carefully studied the information about the empty leaf. The information didn't state a fifty percent probability; it stated whether it existed or not. When the empty leaf blocked the view, the place might exist or it might not.

In actual use, the probability is indeed very close to fifty percent, which is why Chen Guan believes that using empty leaves has a fifty percent success rate.

However, after careful consideration, Chen Guan realized that if he used the empty leaf in reverse, the area blocked by his vision might contain what he wanted, or it might not.

Of course, this is on the premise that there is enough energy available.

Chen Guan now has a maximum of over two million units of vital energy. He tries to use this energy to reverse the process, imagining a sword behind a leaf.

Regardless of how much spiritual energy he invests, or how high or low the quality of the sword he requests, it does not affect the 50% success rate.

Therefore, Chen Guan wondered if it was possible that the 50% success rate didn't actually exist, but was just a mechanism of the empty leaf.

Matter cannot simply disappear into thin air, so anything that has been erased must have gone somewhere.

Is it possible that the erased matter was actually compensated for something that appeared out of nowhere?

The reason why things that appear out of thin air fail, and the spiritual power that disappears after failure, is to compensate for the disappearance of the material that needs to be dealt with in order to erase the success.

The reason for success and failure might be that when using empty leaves, it is necessary to use them in combination with positive and negative leaves to achieve a certain balance.

It's like a balance scale. If you just take chips from one side, eventually all the chips on that side will disappear, and the scale will tilt completely.

However, Chen Guan later conducted experiments and found that using the two characteristics of empty leaves alternately did not increase the probability of success.

This seems to prove Chen Guan's guess wrong, but in the process, Chen Guan discovered another interesting problem.

If he first uses the Empty Leaf to conjure something, such as a sword, then using the Empty Leaf to erase a sword of extremely similar quality and grade will have a very high success rate.

Conversely, if you remove one sword first, then conjuring another sword out of thin air will have a very high success rate.

This made Chen Guan realize that his guess wasn't entirely wrong; he just hadn't found the real key.

However, there is a problem with the Empty Leaf: it cannot conjure up an identical life form out of thin air.

Chen Guan tried using empty leaves to create flower fairies. The flower fairies that were created looked exactly the same, but they should not be the same life form.

In other words, it is impossible to revive a living being or a person using Empty Leaf.

Even if the person conjured up looks exactly like the person who wants to be resurrected, he is not that person, but merely an empty shell.

Using empty leaves to create all life forms will have this problem, and creating life forms out of thin air consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Even if Chen Guan invested all of his two million yuan of energy into Kong Ye, he could only create some life forms similar to flower fairies.

This is much more difficult than erasing them. Erasing a mysterious spirit like a flower fairy would only require a little spiritual power and could be done easily.

Therefore, even now, Chen Guan has not figured out the specific operating mechanism of the empty leaf.

However, using the mechanism he already knew, Chen Guan invented a method for using empty leaves.

If an opponent possesses a powerful secret treasure, Chen Guan can use the Empty Leaf to conjure up a similar treasure out of thin air. If successful, he can then target the opponent and directly eliminate their treasure, with a very high success rate.

However, this raises the issue of coexistence. If a treasure and a living being coexist in a place where their vision is obstructed, then the living being will affect the probability of the treasure being erased.

Therefore, it's best to use the Empty Leaf on the treasure when it exists alone, as this will increase the success rate.
