Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

Inside the room of ascension, the sound of flowing energy surged like a tidal wave.

Su Zhisu's consciousness hovered at the center point where the two forces converged.

On the left, a strange, dark purple power, like a gentle stream, was precisely guided and continuously poured into the Redemption pendant floating on the right.

Inside the pendant, the original flame of the Night Watcher's Heart, under the infusion of strange power, was not eroded or extinguished. Instead, it was as if new fuel had been injected into it, and the dark blue flame burned even more vigorously.

When the light of the flames shone through the pendant of the Redemption, the "order" belonging to the Night Watcher's Heart Flame and the "strange" nature of the Redemption reached a delicate balance under Su Zhisu's own integration.

It is no longer a simple confrontation or overshadowing, but has formed a new structure of stable coexistence, with the Night Watch Heartflame as the leader and the Redemption as the carrier.

A new, emerging power, imbued with a cool touch and a pure, burning image, is slowly taking shape at the core of the pendant.

Just as this balance was achieved, after Su Zhisu's perception level reached its limit, the invisible barrier that had been troubling him shattered!

An even more powerful force surged from the depths of his body, and Su Zhixu's spiritual perception spread rapidly in all directions, becoming clearer and more refined, like an ink block thrown into clear water.

The energy cocoon surrounding him suddenly contracted inward, disappearing entirely into his body and merging with the newly formed core of power.

The dazzling runic light inside the Ascension Chamber quickly dimmed, returning to its original soft glow.

The energy that had gathered around gradually subsided.

Silence returned to the room.

Su Zhisu slowly opened his eyes, a wisp of dark blue fire flashing briefly before returning to its deep gaze.

He gently grasped the Redemption pendant that was floating in front of him.

The pendant feels warm to the touch, and the faint blue flame inside burns steadily, conveying an unprecedented, intimate sense of connection.

"It's a success..."

He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the power within his body far more abundant and refined than before, as well as the deeper connection between his soul and the Redemption and the Night Watch Heart Flame.

A sense of fulfillment, a leap in the level of life, permeated my entire body.

The last trace of energy fluctuations inside the Ascension Chamber subsided.

Su Zhisu slowly stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the increased power within his body and a clearer perception at the soul level, yet also an immense sense of security.

He looked down at the Redemption pendant in his hand.

Inside the pale white bone, the faint blue heart fire burned steadily, yet it emitted a cool sensation that gave him an incomparably intimate feeling.

"This is... the core of the power of the bizarre alchemist?"

He could feel that his connection with the Redemption and the Night Watch Heartflame was stronger than ever before, as if they had truly become extensions of his own body.

With a slight thought, a wisp of pale blue flame shot out from the pendant, coiling around his fingertip like a docile pet, changing shape at will.

With another thought, the eerie bone arms appeared beside him, as if they had become extensions of his limbs.

"The connection with the Night Watch and the Redemption has become even stronger."

"Moreover, even the eerie bone arm that was previously uncontrollable when the Redemption was stowed away can now appear directly, which means..."

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the strange fishing rod materialized directly in his grasp.

"Just as I expected, this is a hidden benefit. It seems that upgrading the Redemption will also directly increase my strength in the future."

He carefully experienced the changes brought about by his new profession.

"Strange alchemy... alchemical mutation... cost waived..."

"Using the Night Watcher's Flame and bizarre powers as a foundation, to perform alchemy on items, imbuing them with strange properties?"

"This seems somewhat different from the alchemy of Hydra and Nautilus, and more in line with my personal style?"

He remembered the sanity potion he had concocted before.

"Perhaps trying to refine it again now will yield different results."

"However, this is not the place for testing."
