Chapter 2502: Ability Cheating

Xia Duo's bloodline has undergone multiple awakenings and has long since entered an inconceivable realm; not to mention the most basic aspect of lifespan, even Xia Duo himself does not know where his limit lies now, though a conservative estimate would have to be counted in the thousands.

Beyond lifespan, there are various miraculous traits that can be intuitively displayed, from the earliest 【Physical Enhancement】 and 【Water Control】, to the later 【Wind Control】, 【Darkvision】, 【Cloud-Treading】, 【Majesty】, and 【Magic Resistance】, as well as the 【Thunder Control】 and 【Call Wind and Rain】 obtained in the most recent awakening.

This is merely the miraculous nature of his body; his soul also possesses inconceivable aspects. His soul could transition to the Outer Planes very early on; at first, he could not return on his own, but later he could.

Not to mention the small space around his soul that manifests, stimulated by Belief Power, reflecting a village in the boundless wilderness of the Outer Planes, which is practically a Shenguo Chu Xing.

And during his most recent bloodline awakening, in addition to 【Thunder Control】 and 【Call Wind and Rain】, he also gained a special ability, which is 【Embodying Heaven and Earth】.

Whether it is his body or soul, both can dissipate entirely, leaving only his consciousness to merge with space, as if he were the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, transcendent and beyond material things.

If he wishes to recover, it is also very simple; as soon as a thought arises, the void will churn with wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, and his body will naturally emerge from this phenomenon of heaven and earth.

However, ever since awakening this ability, Xia Duo has rarely used it; after all, he was born with a physical body and is very unaccustomed to this formless and imageless state of Void, often worrying that if he couldn't change back, he would be finished.

Previously, in order to solidify his identity as a victim, he had his soul leave his body, leaving behind that original physical form, but when he tried to recover his body according to the bloodline instinct of 【Embodying Heaven and Earth】, a brand-new body, almost indistinguishable from the original, actually emerged from the void.

Looking at the body itself, even he could not distinguish any difference between this new body and the previous one, but there was a difference: the degree of bloodline awakening.

Although the new body retained all the bloodline abilities of the original, it was as if it had just awakened, with strength far inferior to before; however, Xia Duo felt that as time passed, this new body of his was gradually becoming identical to the previous one.

Additionally, he had another feeling: it seemed that as long as he dissolved the original body he had turned into a statue, this new body would immediately return to its original state, and the reverse should be true as well.

Xia Duo speculated that perhaps it was because the so-called bloodline origin was dispersed that such a manifestation occurred, and this manifestation also reminded him of the Heavenly Immortal from the legends of his hometown—gathering to form a shape, dispersing to become Qi.

It is just that what he disperses into is not "Qi," but Void, or rather, this heaven and earth itself, and this "gathering to form a shape" of his is also limited to his own body and cannot be changed at will.

It can be said that he now possesses the initial abilities of the legendary Heavenly Immortal.

Theoretically, the 【Embodying Heaven and Earth】 ability allows him to recover with just his consciousness, but the realm of the soul is ultimately too mysterious, and research into resurrection has only remained on the surface, never having delved into the essence.

He was not sure if there would be any drawbacks to recovering using only his consciousness, so in the previous "performance," although the Saint Form Avatar struck as hard as possible, it did not actually destroy his soul in front of everyone; instead, it was like a sleight of hand—the attack happened, but in reality, his soul had escaped on its own.

……

Xia Duo explained the special nature of his bloodline to Niya briefly; Niya's eyes were full of surprise, and at the same time, there was deep worry, "Then are you still a body of flesh and blood now?"

"Of course it is a body of flesh and blood!"

To verify this, Xia Duo casually took out an Adamantine Knife, then suppressed the protective power naturally emerging from his skin and sliced hard across his palm.

The next moment, a wound deep enough to see flesh appeared on Xia Duo's palm, and bright red blood emerged from between the flesh almost instantly.

"Look, doesn't this count as a body of flesh and blood?"

However, Xia Duo also had some regrets; although his physical fitness had long surpassed that of ordinary people after multiple bloodline awakenings, he still did not possess the ability of Drop of Blood Rebirth.

Even the wound he had just left on his palm was only healing at a speed slightly faster than an ordinary person's, and it was far from being visible to the naked eye.

However, he could also use other bloodline abilities to cheat; for example, by turning a part of his hand into a stream of water, the wound would be gone when he restored it.

Of course, besides bloodline abilities, Magic can also achieve physical regeneration, such as the 【Arcane Form】 developed early on in 【Projection Plane: Evereska Independent】.

Even if only half of his body remained, as long as he could transform into the Arcane Form, he could easily recover completely, and after transforming back into a body of flesh and blood, he would truly be restored.

When Xia Duo entered that Projection Plane for the second time, he encountered an Elf Arcanist who was being hunted and had recovered to health through such means.

However, Niya was not satisfied with this explanation and instead said to herself in a low voice, "I am worried that it is because of this that I cannot conceive."

"Huh?" Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, feeling that the two of them were not on the same channel at all.

He was explaining the bloodline abilities of his body, while Niya was thinking about the reason why the two of them could not have offspring; however, the issue of offspring did indeed need to be considered.

Xia Duo himself did not have a very strong desire for children, but if Niya wanted them, he would respect Niya's choice.

Niya had mentioned this issue more than once, but the two of them were indeed unable to conceive offspring through normal means; in the past, Xia Duo had brought back spells from the Elves used to assist with reproduction from the Projection Plane.

Those spells had been studied by him and were theoretically effective, but the actual situation was somewhat different: after Xia Duo's bloodline essence entered Niya's body, it would not react with Niya at all, even when stimulated by spells.

He could even take that bloodline essence back if he wanted to, just like how he had sliced his palm to demonstrate his flesh and blood body, and the blood had flowed out.

In this situation, normally, the blood that flowed out would no longer belong to him, right? But when he used the bloodline ability 【Water Control】 to turn his palm into flowing water, that portion of blood that had flowed out was also controlled by him and turned into water droplets!

It was as if his will had permeated every part of his body; those detached blood or bloodline essences appeared to be separated from the main body, but in reality, they were still one with the main body.

In this situation, how could Niya's wish to conceive possibly be realized?

However, Xia Duo was not without any solutions; he said his will permeated his flesh and blood, but he was not sure what the actual situation was—perhaps it was just a natural tendency for his flesh and blood to aggregate.

Then perhaps he could separate a portion of his bloodline essence in advance and then isolate it at the Plane level until it completely became an ordinary object not controlled by Xia Duo, and then inject it into Niya's body.

However, this method of conception was bizarre; Xia Duo, who came from modern society, naturally did not think there was anything wrong with it—on Earth, there was more than just in vitro fertilization as a way to assist reproduction.

But Niya might not accept it, and whether this method was feasible was another matter; Xia Duo did not have the energy to study it for the time being, only researching it occasionally. Anyway, both of their lifespans were still long, so this matter had been dragged out until now.
