Chapter 285: Converting Soil and Water, Self-Producing Materials of Various Attributes

Jerry is very anxious now, feeling that something is clearly right before his eyes, just a hair's breadth away, yet he cannot grasp it no matter what.

What on earth is it?

Jerry looks at the scene before him, lost in deep thought.

It clearly feels like he could touch it if he reached out, but every time it is empty, and he cannot catch it.

This feeling makes his mood even more irritable; he does not want to give up, and he decides to try a little harder.

He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, calms his heart, and carefully senses everything around him.

Meteorite, planet;

Adsorption, conversion.

What exactly is missing?

Jerry racks his brain but cannot find the answer.

Suddenly, Jerry discovers something different.

Because Douluo Planet has an Isolation Belt, all soul power is converted after entering Douluo Continent.

It is converted into absorbable soul power of heaven and earth.

However, meteorite planets do not have an Isolation Belt, so active soul power is directly adsorbed.

The soul power converted by the Douluo Continent's Isolation Belt drifts between heaven and earth, and all things can absorb it, but meteorites and planets do not convert it at all, instead absorbing it directly.

Being absorbed!

That's it!

Whether it is Douluo Continent or planetary meteorites, soul power is being absorbed.

On Douluo Continent, there are animals, plants, minerals, and so on; it is too much and too complex, and all things are absorbing soul power, so the soul power is dispersed.

The earth is also absorbing soul power at every moment, but by comparison, it is not obvious, so it is hard to discover.

Meteorites and planets are very singular, which is why Jerry was able to notice it.

Jerry finally discovers the key to it.

An initiator.

Whether it is all things on Douluo Continent, or meteorites and planets, they themselves are initiators, attracting soul power.

And he himself is compressing soul power in space, but there is no initiator; even if the soul power is compressed as tightly as possible, there is no initiator to adsorb it.

The reason why Water Attribute soul power can condense into water is that there are water molecules in the air itself.

These water molecules are very small and invisible to the naked eye, so they were ignored.

But when Jerry used a sealed space to gather Water Attribute soul power, these water molecules absorbed the Water Attribute soul power, only then changing into water.

Thinking of this, Jerry is very excited.

However, whether it is exactly the situation Jerry inferred still requires experiments to test.

Subsequently, he arrives at the place where he previously conducted experiments.

It is still the Earth Gathering Array, with a Spirit Dispersing Array outside.

But this time, Jerry finds a piece of soil and places it into the array space.

Whether it can succeed depends only on the effect after the array is activated.

As the array activates, the Spirit Dispersing Array begins to evacuate other attribute soul powers from the array space, keeping the soul power within the space pure.

The speed of extraction is fast; after all, Jerry is only experimenting, and the space is not set to be large.

After other attribute soul powers are extracted, the Earth Gathering Array begins to operate, and the Earth Attribute soul power drifting between heaven and earth is rapidly gathered into the array space.

A moment later, the entire space is filled with Earth Attribute soul power.

The drifting Earth Attribute soul power, upon touching the soil inside, is directly adsorbed into the soil.

This array space is specifically for gathering earth, which is different from the natural world.

The piece of soil inside continuously absorbs Earth Attribute soul power, beginning to grow larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the soul power inside the space becomes more and more abundant and the Soul Pressure becomes greater and greater, the speed at which this piece of soil absorbs Earth Attribute soul power also becomes faster and faster, and the speed of its growth also increases sharply.

The Soul Pressure grows higher and higher; Jerry has been observing carefully, and when the Soul Pressure reaches one thousand times, the soil absorbs Earth Attribute soul power at its fastest, also reaching the limit of its speed.

Exceeding one thousand times the Soul Pressure, the absorption speed does not increase.

Therefore, Jerry adjusts the Earth Gathering Array to keep the internal Soul Pressure at one thousand times, first observing the absorption effect.

One hour later, the soil that was originally palm-sized is now so large it is almost filling the entire space.

Jerry has to stop the array.

Because this time it is an experiment, the space Jerry set is only 10x10x10 cubic meters.

The palm-sized soil can be ignored; one hour can produce 1000 cubic meters of soil, and one day can produce 24000 cubic meters of soil.

This is just one array; what if there were one hundred arrays?

The premise is that the supply of soul power between heaven and earth can keep up.

If Jerry consumes the soul power between heaven and earth excessively, it might cause a serious shortage of Earth Attribute soul power between heaven and earth.

If one type of soul power between heaven and earth decreases, the overall soul power concentration will drop, and if Jerry consumes a large amount of Earth Attribute soul power, it will be a disaster for some species that need Earth Attribute soul power.

Relying on the conversion of the Isolation Belt above Douluo Planet, plus the conversion of Jerry's clone, he calculated that it can support at most ten thousand such arrays.

Ten thousand such arrays would also seriously affect the entire continent.

To avoid this situation from occurring, he can only go into the universe.

On the Moon, he previously set up many Barriers to convert water.

Now he only needs to renovate them.

These Barriers do not need people to live in them, so the Pillar Supporting the Sky inside the Barriers only needs to convert single-attribute soul power.

Jerry arrives at the Moon and sees the Fairy Queen still converting water on the Moon.

Oh no, after the World Advancement, I forgot to notify the Fairy Queen that she could stop temporarily.

Jerry couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

However, during this period, quite a lot of Conversion Water has been converted.

Jerry calmed his awkward emotions and chose to let the mistake continue.

"Fairy Queen, we need to divide the work now. You convert the water, and my clones will convert the soil."

Afterwards, Jerry and the Fairy Queen discussed the conditions required for the World Advancement.

Jerry's original plan was to first gather enough water and soil for the next World Advancement, but the Fairy Queen said that energy also takes a long time to absorb, so it would be better to proceed with all three aspects simultaneously.

This method is indeed good; it would be even better if there were three people.

Previously, the World Consciousness had absorbed a total of fourteen Secret Realms; although the World Consciousness didn't say it, the energy aspect was already ahead.

Jerry wanted to convert water and soil first, and talk about it only after the three conditions reached a balance.

If all three aspects are carried out simultaneously, it will undoubtedly require splitting off some clones to convert energy, which will seriously slow down the time for converting water and soil.

Moreover, Jerry has a guess in his heart: if, during the third World Advancement, the water and soil in the Douluo Continent far exceed the amount required for the third advancement, then the energy of the third advancement will not be enough to support all the water and soil, and in that case, the commotion will be relatively small.

If you want to create earth-shattering changes, sorry, there isn't enough energy.

This is just a guess of Jerry's, but Jerry feels it is worth a try.

Afterwards, he told the Fairy Queen his thoughts, and Jerry quietly told the Fairy Queen one thing: the World Consciousness seems to be a bit wary of him.

He doesn't know if it's his own illusion, but that is how it feels.

Jerry thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason.

In fact, the World Consciousness is influenced by what Jerry said earlier about the revival of the Dragon God.

Although it was decided before that if that day really comes, between Jerry and the Dragon God, it would choose Jerry, but who is willing to be controlled by others?

The World Consciousness itself is also unwilling, so the World Consciousness has also begun to guard against Jerry.

After all, Jerry once said that if the world advances to the level of the Dragon God's original world, he would be able to mutually check and balance the Dragon God.

The World Consciousness has seen all of Jerry's growth; if it really reached that point, it would definitely not be a so-called mutual check and balance, but a direct suppression of the Dragon God.

After all, the World Consciousness knows that there is a trace of Dragon Breath in Jerry's soul, and through the Silver Dragon King's previous reaction, it understands that this trace of Dragon Breath was left by an existence even more powerful than the Dragon God.

Therefore, the World Consciousness has also begun to guard against Jerry, and many things were not told to Jerry.

The World Consciousness absorbed the energy of ten Small Worlds last time, which was already far beyond the standard for World Advancement, and later it absorbed fourteen more Secret Realms.

Does the Douluo Continent only have fourteen Secret Realms?

Of course not; these fourteen were only found with Jerry's help.

There are other Secret Realms where no Teleportation Array was set up at all, and even the external Teleportation Arrays were completely damaged long ago, with nothing left.

The World Consciousness directly absorbed all the Secret Realms it discovered; it did not tell Jerry about this.

The World Consciousness only wants to advance quickly now; every advancement brings a huge improvement to the World Consciousness.

Jerry said to advance to the same level as the Dragon God's original world, but the World Consciousness wants to advance to an even higher level.

In that case, it could suppress both the Dragon God and Jerry.

Then no one would be able to control it again.

Jerry does not know the thoughts of the World Consciousness; he only slightly senses that the World Consciousness seems to be a bit wary of him.

Jerry cannot leave this world right now, and it is not the time to have a falling out with the World Consciousness.

As it stands, he still needs to help the World Consciousness advance so that he can have a higher breakthrough.

Only with strength can he better grasp his own destiny in the future.

The Fairy Queen herself stands on Jerry's side, so in the end, she still did as Jerry said.

Besides her main body, the Fairy Queen has 107 clones responsible for converting water.

Besides his main body, Jerry has one acting as the Pillar Supporting the Sky in Wuhun City, one converting soul power in the Moon Small Courtyard, and eight clones returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to act as biological storage, leaving only ninety-seven clones responsible for converting soil.

After arranging the matters on the Moon, Jerry prepared to go back to do the previous experiment.

It is still the Earth Gathering Array; this time, he adjusted the Soul Pressure to 1,100 times.

Although the speed of the soil absorption did not change, under 1,100 times the Soul Pressure, the structure of the soil began to change.

Until the entire soil structure was completely converted, what appeared before Jerry was a piece of Metal Attribute material.

Sure enough.

Jerry had been wondering before how the attribute materials of the Douluo Continent came to be.

Moreover, the areas where most attribute materials are located are very special.

For example, most Earth Attribute materials and Metal Attribute materials are underground.

So Jerry thought, were these attribute materials born because they were underground, compressed by soil for years, and absorbed enough energy?

The current experiment proves that it is indeed the case.

Jerry began to continue the experiment; this time, the Soul Pressure was adjusted to 1,200 times.

It also gave birth to a type of Earth Attribute material.

After testing, 1,100 times the Soul Pressure formed a first-level attribute material; 1,200 times the Soul Pressure formed a second-level attribute material;

Whether it follows this pattern, Jerry still needs to continue the experiments.

1,300 times the Soul Pressure, third-level attribute material;

1,400 times the Soul Pressure, fourth-level attribute material;

……

1,800 times the Soul Pressure, eighth-level attribute material;

At 1,800 times, the Array space was shaking a bit, but he risked it.

Jerry continued to increase the Soul Pressure, finally reaching 1,900 times.

At this moment, the entire Array space was shaking violently, as if it could explode at any time.

Yet it was precisely on the verge of exploding; at this time, Jerry sensed that if he continued to increase it, even by just another fold, this Array space would definitely explode.

The result of this explosion might be even more powerful than the bombs Jerry had created.

While the Array space was wobbling, the Earth Attribute materials inside began to change once again.

After all the changes were complete, Jerry immediately stopped the Array space.

He tested the materials: Level 9 Earth Attribute materials.

The upper limit for materials in this world is Level 9.

Materials that can be rated as Level 9 are very rare and also very difficult to collect.

Previously, when making a Spirit Guidance Device, he needed the Level 9 material Deep Sea Sunken Silver, and he had collected for a long time without gathering enough.

Deep Sea Sunken Silver is only found at the bottom of the sea at a depth of a thousand meters; it is difficult for ordinary people to dive below a thousand meters, and the water pressure there is something even an average Title Douluo probably could not withstand.

However, now that Jerry has discovered the method for creating attribute materials, things will be easier in the future.

After all, attribute materials are too scarce; previously, the world consciousness had told him the locations of many minerals, but that could not satisfy the consumption rate of Wuhun City.

Take the Floating Small Courtyard for example; if there were enough materials, Jerry would directly build a Sky City.

Compared to a Sky City, one courtyard after another is simply like a dwarf standing before a giant.

Subsequently, Jerry began to attempt to create materials of other attributes.

Each attribute requires a primer.

For a Metal Attribute primer, a piece of metal is sufficient; for a Wood Attribute primer, a twig is enough.

The primer for Fire Attribute, however, is slightly different.

In this world, there are no purely Fire Attribute materials; the commonly used Flowing Fire Stone, Red Flame Fire Stone, Flame Iron Stone, etc., are all products of the combination of Fire Attribute and other attributes.

He adjusted the Array, gathered Fire Attribute and Metal Attribute soul power, and placed an iron block inside as a primer.

At the beginning, the iron block was absorbing Metal Attribute soul power, but as the Fire Attribute soul power nearby increased, it slowly began to absorb Fire Attribute soul power as well.

Under 1,100 times the Soul Pressure, a Level 1 Fire Attribute material, Flame Iron Stone, was formed.

Composite attribute materials—in this way, whatever materials he needs, whether it is a single attribute or multiple attributes, he can create them himself.

Thinking of this, Jerry was very excited; he had originally thought about going to other planets to mine for materials, but now he can create them himself according to the total demand, so why would he need to go through such trouble?

Subsequently, Jerry began to create various common attribute materials, deducing them one by one, and finally found the creation methods for all three thousand-plus common attribute materials.

Although the creation methods for common materials were found, there were still some rare materials that Jerry did not have on hand; he would need to collect them and then deduce which soul power attributes the rare materials were composed of before he could create them.

As for developing new materials, that still requires slow experimentation.

Jerry thought of a Space Attribute material, the Empty Nether Stone.

However, this material was mentioned in novels he read in his past life, specifically for refining Space Attribute items.

If he could deduce how to create it, then the space limit of Soul Guidance Rings could be broken.

After all, using a Level 9 Storage Spirit Tool to transport water and soil is too troublesome.
