Chapter 363

Just as Luo En was focusing on the creation of the magic sword, Nari was not idle either.

She extended dozens of branch tentacles, reaching deep into every corner of the Twisted Jungle like exploring seaweed.

As an ancient existence that had lived in the abyss for thousands of years, she knew every inch of land here like the back of her hand.

"My child needs the tears of a nascent beast..."

Nari recalled in her heart the information obtained through the consciousness link:

"Those little things are hard to catch, and even harder to preserve... but for Mom, nothing is impossible."

The nascent beast was one of the most mysterious creatures in the fourth layer of the abyss.

They were shaped like young children, but their entire bodies were covered with skin as transparent as crystal, and the internal organs were clearly visible.

Most special were their eyes, as pure as liquid gems, and the tears contained extremely precious mental purification factors.

But these creatures were extremely timid; sensing any danger, they would immediately escape into space cracks.

Even professional institutions like the observation station found it difficult to obtain sufficient stock of nascent beast tears.

"Found them..."

Nari's tentacles discovered two sleeping nascent beasts in a hidden cave.

They were curled up together, their transparent bodies emitting a faint light in the dimness.

But the moment the tentacles approached, the nascent beasts immediately woke up, their eyes full of innocent fear.

They emitted crisp calls like wind chimes, and their body surfaces began to emit spatial fluctuations, preparing to escape.

"Don't be afraid, little ones... Mom won't hurt you..."

Nari soothed them gently while releasing a special chaos force field.

This force field was not aggressive, but a gentle transformation that temporarily disabled the nascent beasts' escape ability.

"Mom just needs some of your tears... in exchange, Mom will give you more powerful strength..."

Under the influence of the chaos power, the nascent beasts began to undergo wonderful changes.

Their bodies became more stable and were no longer so easily frightened.

At the same time, the efficiency of tear production was greatly improved, each drop containing purer mental essence.

"This way they can provide the materials needed by my child for a long time..."

Nari satisfiedly placed the transformed nascent beasts into a specially made vesicle, where the environment completely simulated their original habitat.

During the continued search, another of her tentacles discovered a metal wreckage half-buried in the flesh jungle.

"This is... that little robot?"

The "Explorer No. 1" golem was severely damaged, most of its outer armor had fallen off, and the internal magic circuits were broken in many places.

But the core control system remained intact and was even still operating weakly.

"Poor little thing... lost in Mom's storm..."

Nari carefully dug the golem out of the ground and began to check the extent of the damage:

"But it can still be saved... Mom has a way to repair you..."

She released a wisp of chaos power and began to perform a deep transformation on the golem.

The damaged armor was replaced by newly born biological metal, and the broken magic circuits were connected by active nerve fibers.

Most importantly, the golem's control system was strengthened by the chaos power, gaining a higher level of intelligence and adaptability.

"Now you are not just a tool, but a real assistant..."

The transformed "Explorer No. 1" was brand new.

The appearance was more streamlined, and the surface was covered with adaptive armor that changed according to the environment.

Most striking were its "eyes"—two wisdom cores emitting a faint blue light.

"Thank you, great Lady Nari."

The golem emitted a voice more fluent than before, which even carried grateful emotions:

"I can feel the new abilities you have bestowed upon me... I will strive to serve the master."

………………

"Now we can proceed to the third step, the magic amplification crystal, and the integration of one's own bloodline."

This was the most dangerous step in the entire process.

If the different energy sources contained in the crystal were not handled properly, a catastrophic explosion could occur.

Luo En carefully brought the crystal close to the soul steel and immediately felt the intense repulsion between the two.

There was a fundamental conflict between the life attribute of the soul steel and the artificial nature of the crystal.

"The coordination mechanism in the middle is the creator's own bloodline origin..."

He took out a small bottle of deep red liquid from his storage bag.

This was his own blood, but after special treatment, it contained all the characteristic information of his bloodline.

Under the vision of "Extraordinary Identification," this blood slowly writhed like a living thing, with dark gold energy patterns flowing inside.

"The magic sword needs to establish bloodline resonance with the creator... but the substitute puppet itself is an extension of my consciousness, and this resonance exists naturally..."

He began to carve bloodline runes on the key parts of the puppet.

"The harmonizing characteristic of the Chimera bloodline... and the dragon blood purification power after the addition of the Sunday incarnation..."

The blood slowly permeated along the rune patterns, and the internal structure of the puppet began to undergo fundamental changes.

The originally rigid material became flexible and elastic, and subtle textures similar to living organisms began to appear on the surface.

But the truly difficult part was yet to come.

"Mental force guidance... this is the link that tests technique the most."

Luo En took a deep breath and activated "Whispers of the Star Eater," letting his consciousness enter the state most suitable for precision operations.

He needed to use mental force to guide the flow of bloodline essence within the puppet's body.

Let it establish a perfect connection with every rune node and every energy channel.

This process was like performing an extremely precise surgery; any slight deviation could lead to the collapse of the entire structure.

Mental force extended into the interior of the puppet like countless fine threads, guiding the bloodline energy to flow along the preset path.

During this process, Luo En could clearly feel every change the puppet was experiencing:

The rune network began to fuse with the bloodline essence, producing a new energy circulation mode;

The material structure rearranged at the molecular level, gaining stronger flexibility and magic conductivity;

Most importantly, a complex network similar to a nervous system began to form within the puppet's body...

"Success... bloodline fusion complete."

Luo En wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling the brand-new feedback from the puppet.

It was no longer a simple alchemical creation, but a composite existence with certain life characteristics.

With the injection of power, the repulsion between the soul steel and the crystal began to ease.

Two completely different substances began to produce subtle resonance under the harmonizing effect of the bloodline's clear orientation.

But the most critical step was still at the end—soul splitting and sealing.

This was the most dangerous and important link in making the Master Sword.

"Must split out a portion of soul fragments and seal them in the sword core... let the weapon gain an independent will..."

Luo En stared at the magic amplification crystal on the puppet's chest, which would become the container for the soul fragments.

He remembered the state of Edric and Morgan at the final moment, that determination to leave a part of themselves in the weapon forever.

"Their experiences have already pointed the way for me... now it is time to surpass the predecessors..."

He closed his eyes, his consciousness diving deep into the deepest layer of his soul.

"My situation is different from those magic swordsmen... the substitute puppet itself is an extension of my consciousness... this splitting is more like... reintegration."

Deep in his consciousness, he could feel his soul as vast and complex as a galaxy, with various starlight and colorful magic streams converging in one place.

"Which part to choose?"

After careful weighing, Luo En decided to split out the parts related to "exploration" and "adaptation."

These traits were most suitable for a weapon that needed to fight in various environments, and they also best fit his pragmatic principles.

The process of soul splitting was accompanied by violent mental shocks.

He felt his consciousness being cut by a sharp blade, and a part of his self was being stripped away.

For himself, who possessed a "dual soul," this part was relatively less difficult, and the splitting process could be considered smooth.

And the moment the splitting was completed, a miracle happened.

The interior of the magic amplification crystal suddenly erupted with intense light.

The soul fragments fused perfectly with the crystal structure, creating a brand-new core.

The puppet began to breathe on its own.

Its chest rose and fell rhythmically, and the runes on the surface brightened and dimmed with the "heartbeat."

Luo En stared at his masterpiece, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment surging in his heart.

"Success..."

He looked at the strange creation emitting the light of life in front of him, a huge sense of accomplishment surging in his heart:

"This material possesses the life affinity of soul steel and also has the energy conversion capability of the crystal."

With the complete fusion of consciousness, the material began to undergo its final morphological change.

It was no longer a static block of metal, but began to flow, like liquid with life.

Under Luo En's conscious guidance through the soul fragments, the material began to take shape.

Hilt, guard, blade... every part took shape under precise control.

What was finally presented in front of him was a strange weapon never seen before.

The blade presented a flowing luster like mercury, and the rune network on the surface pulsed like blood vessels.

The hilt part retained some characteristics of the puppet, warm as jade, with an excellent feel.

Most striking was an "eye" in the center of the blade, which was the core part of the magic amplification crystal.

This eye would change color according to the user's mood, and it was currently emitting a gentle blue light.
