Chapter 1508: Bloodline Advancement, Entrusting to Heaven and Earth

Seventon, Arcane Union.

During this period, because the project was paused, Xia Duo had originally planned to privately think about countermeasures regarding the Elf Monitoring Divine Art and the subsequent impact of this matter, and wait for the shielding research over at the Seven Towers to make progress before continuing to wrap up the Independent Arcane Fire Device project.

Yet he did not expect the accident to come so suddenly, catching him off guard.

That night, just as Xia Duo fell asleep, he felt a throb originating from the depths of his bloodline; he immediately realized something and wanted to take action, but it was already a bit too late.

The next moment, he entered the magical dream he had entered many times before.

This time, Xia Duo's experience was slightly different compared to before; in every previous Bloodline Awakening dream, he had first transformed into a drop of water in a mountain stream at the source of the Yangtze River.

Then, as the stream flowed continuously, his perceivable form and consciousness would also grow, eventually transforming into the water of heaven and earth, and even thunder, clouds, wind, and the myriad phenomena of weather.

But this time, the process of first entering the dream was very unusual; in the past, he had always entered without knowing or feeling, but this time, he felt a very obvious omen.

After entering the dream, the first thing he perceived was not a water drop like before, but a bolt of thunder produced by the churning of wind and clouds.

The moment it was born, it suddenly vanished, and then the next moment it was born again and vanished again, while Xia Duo's consciousness kept Yaoyue back and forth between the thunder and lightning.

At the beginning, he was not quite used to each transition of his consciousness carrier, but after countless times, his consciousness transcended the thunder and lightning, combined with the water of heaven and earth, and returned to the starting point of his bloodline.

Afterward, it was like the climax of previous Bloodline Awakening dreams; in the dream, Xia Duo transformed into the water of heaven and earth, his breathing became storms, his trembling became thunder, one thought raised clouds, one thought stopped rain, as if he were the master of weather.

As clouds formed and rain fell, his consciousness also gradually filled the space between heaven and earth, and grew increasingly stronger.

Unlike the previous few awakening dreams, where the consciousness would cycle back to the initial state of a water drop after growing to a certain extent.

This dream revealed its unusual nature from the very beginning, and no cycling occurred afterward; Xia Duo's consciousness just grew endlessly like this.

This feeling was very wonderful; the further it went, the more he felt that he was not just the master of weather, but the master of heaven and earth, to the point that he developed an illusion that as long as he was willing, he could immediately overturn heaven and earth.

However, he ultimately did not do so, because this dream was vastly different from the past; previously, he could only drift with the current in the dream and could change nothing, but this time, he had the illusion that he could change things.

He was not sure if this was an illusion, and if it were not an illusion, and this dream world had a tangible effect related to him, would he not regret it deeply if he destroyed it by mistake?

Moreover, he also really wanted to see what would happen if this consciousness grew to its limit.

Thus, Xia Duo waited patiently; as his consciousness continued to grow, his control over heaven and earth became increasingly profound.

At the same time, the evolution of the myriad phenomena of weather between heaven and earth did not stop, but compared to the randomness and naturalness of before, it now had a bit more order and sophistication.

……

He did not know how much time had passed, the dream had not yet ended, and the growth of Xia Duo's consciousness had not paused for a moment; gradually, he developed an intuition—

This Bloodline Awakening was likely the last one he could achieve through ordinary means!

As for the gains of the Bloodline Awakening, he also had expectations; if nothing went wrong, this time he would at least be able to acquire the abilities of 【Thunder Control】 and 【Call Wind and Rain】.

In fact, he had already been able to do the latter to some extent before this Bloodline Awakening, but the range was small and it had little practical value.

As the dream continued, Xia Duo familiarized himself with the various characteristics of his bloodline amidst the evolution of the myriad phenomena of weather, while strengthening his control over heaven and earth as his consciousness gradually grew.

Until his consciousness grew to an incredible extent, he finally caught a glimpse of the truth regarding this heaven and earth within the dream.

The next moment, Xia Duo's consciousness rushed out of this heaven and earth in the dream and returned to the real world; at this moment, he was formless and imageless, his consciousness filling the bedroom, incomparable to the gaseous form from before.

"How should I restore my original body?"

As this thought arose, wind and clouds suddenly surged within the bedroom, and a strong, healthy body, as if belonging to a god, slowly emerged from the void amidst thunder and lightning.

The process was extremely dreamlike; Xia Duo realized that his body was no longer the same as before, appearing to be connected with the weather of this heaven and earth, capable of being born out of thin air from heaven and earth.

At this instant, a term that had previously only existed in hypothesis squeezed into his mind—

Entrusting to Heaven and Earth!

With the body Entrusting to Heaven and Earth, existing Between Existence and Non-existence, one thought creates existence, one thought creates non-existence; does this mean that in the future, there will be no need for clones when resurrecting?

Even the soul would not be needed; as long as the consciousness returns, a body can be immediately derived from heaven and earth, and the soul would be born along with it?

With this thought, Xia Duo's heartbeat could not help but accelerate, *thump-thump*, and in this bedroom—which was not small—configured for him by the Arcane Union, he could even hear some Echo.

Of course, this was an illusion, but it was undeniable that his body had undergone a qualitative improvement compared to before.

Regarding things like consciousness resurrection, Xia Duo did not dare to try easily, but for other aspects, he had no such qualms.

However, before checking his body, he had to reply to Niya first; he had just received messages from both Niya and Saville almost simultaneously, several of them, the gist of which was that Xifu had come looking for him and had even left behind a badge that was completely different from before.

Xia Duo immediately realized that there was likely a problem with Xifu's identity; he had suspected it before, and this situation only deepened his suspicion, but as for the specifics, he would have to wait until he returned to Nan Jing.

"I'll probably be back tomorrow or the day after!"

In fact, Xia Duo also wanted to return immediately, but his current appearance had changed greatly from before, and he did not want to make a big fuss about his Bloodline Awakening.

It is no exaggeration to say that his whole person was glowing right now!

Aside from the change in his Magic Aura, a visible radiance was also faintly seeping out from the surface of his skin; if Netheril had newspapers, he would definitely be the front-page headline tomorrow if he walked out in this state.

Regarding how to "restore" his original appearance, Xia Duo already had some ideas; it was nothing more than starting from his bloodline—if he could restrain it himself, that would be best, and if he could not, he would have to use some Spell to disguise it.

……

Inside the bedroom.

Xia Duo first checked the Protective Spell he had set up before going to sleep last night, and only after confirming that the anti-Scrying part was intact did he relax and begin to examine his physical state after the Bloodline Awakening.

Although he had not yet performed any strenuous activity, Xia Duo could already confirm that his physique and strength had significantly improved compared to before.

It was not easy to quantify the physique, but his strength had at least doubled compared to before; basically, he could hold 200 or 300 pounds of weight in his hand as if it were nothing.

And he had a feeling that this strength was still growing vigorously and had not reached its physiological limit.
