The fire mage from the game world

Even before entering the Wasteland world, Chen Yi had already sensed that he had climbed to the summit, and there was no road ahead.

The next step was to transform himself into a new mountain.

However, without experiencing the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, one could not achieve the Origin.

Even after comprehending the spell structure and perfecting all the spells,

he only managed to improve all the spells by about 15% based on their original foundation.

This isn't to say that the improvement was small.

Improving a 100-meter sprint time from 20 seconds by 15% is completely different from improving a 100-meter sprint time from 5 seconds by 15%.

Rather, it means that it couldn't bring about a qualitative change for Chen Yi.

Now, if Chen Yi disregarded the cost, he could indeed do what his other self did:

Bestow the concept of combustion upon a physical phenomenon that has no concept of combustion, and then ignite it.

But this is meaningless because it can't kill anyone; it's purely a display of skill.

Those qualified to fight Chen Yi are basically at the level of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

They have already grasped the Spiritual Body in the process of transcending the Decay Tribulation.

The invisible force field formed by the Spiritual Body usually has little sense of existence, but it is an incomparably solid wall.

The time limit for Time Stop will be shortened due to the existence of the force field.

Invisible curses will be weakened due to the existence of the force field.

The added concept of combustion will also be resisted.

When stepping into the 7th Order, with the support of real attributes, it will be even more difficult to influence.

Instead of adding the concept of combustion to the enemy, it is better to strengthen the flame and the burning of the flame.

It is also for this reason that the bodiless Grey Wolf · Aidu would be so fragile.

However, Grey Wolf · Aidu allowed Chen Yi to see a new direction.

In the [Time and Space Cabin], Chen Yi muttered to himself: "Life?"

A large number of phantoms appeared, extending Chen Yi's thoughts.

It wasn't just the defeated side that gained enlightenment; the victorious side also saw different possibilities.

Don't think that Grey Wolf · Aidu is useless in Chen Yi's eyes just because he was defeated.

On the contrary, Chen Yi values the other party's research very much.

This is a different path from the mainstream, and it has a natural advantage compared to other mages.

It saves the element enhancement!

As long as Grey Wolf · Aidu comprehends the Origin and steps into the 7th Order, then the True Fire of Life will naturally step into the Holy Spirit level, because this flame is transformed from Grey Wolf · Aidu's life.

After Grey Wolf · Aidu's life leaps, the rank of the flame will naturally leap as well.

Don't think that element enhancement is a powerful weapon for mages; it is merely a helpless move for high-level mages.

The spell structure is indeed the cornerstone of spells, but the elements that make up the cornerstone are elemental particles.

For Chen Yi, who uses Heart Fire, the cornerstone is Heart Fire.

But you can't form a cannonball with tofu.

So, the concept of element enhancement only appears in the 7th Order.

Because normal elemental particles and flames can no longer bear the attacks of the 7th Order.

Element enhancement does not raise the upper limit of attack for the 7th Order.

Rather, it restores the attack to the level that the 7th Order should have, and may even reduce it to a certain extent.

Chen Yi already knew this when he was in the Dungeon World.

Element enhancement is the enhancement of low-level elements by high-quality energy sources.

It is not because element enhancement allows elements to break through space.

But because there is a power to break through space, the elements are enhanced to the point where they can break through space.

If Holy Spirit-level elements are used to carry the attack, there is no need for the enhancement process. Among mages of the same order, one is naturally superior.

Therefore, 'life' is a feasible direction in Chen Yi's eyes.

Burning life!

Don't misunderstand. As Chen Yi's other self said, Chen Yi doesn't think that what needs to be burned in the next stage is the enemy's life.

But burning one's own life.

In the Wasteland world, Chen Yi once explored why spells like burning HP and mana could improve one's own strength.

Although he was later delayed by various things, 'Chen Yi' didn't stop his research in this area.

He conducted tens of thousands of biological experiments using monsters in the Mirror World.

During the final battle, he also synchronized the skills Chen Yi exchanged in the Commander Authority Shop, as well as Chen Yi's research data and ideas.

There is already a lot of data to support this;

The so-called burning of these skills, in addition to a small part that increases consumption for improvement, most of them are not real burning, but more like a ritual.

Sacrificing oneself in exchange for stronger power.

The objects of sacrifice are different; some are the world, and some are unknown existences.

After the sacrifice, it is possible to obtain a higher level of energy than oneself, or a temporary buff, or a certain magical organ.

Then a question arises.

For high-level existences, all things of low level, even including the soul, are useless.

So what are they after?

Finally, 'Chen Yi' focused his attention on the ritual itself.

Changing the formula of the ritual, increasing the sublimation part, adjusting the direction of sacrifice...

But whether it is sacrificing mana, HP, or the power of the soul to oneself, it will not bring any change.

This led to 'Chen Yi's' research being stuck.

Since 'Chen Yi' has not yet found a way to anchor a more powerful isolation point, Chen Yi has in turn received 'Chen Yi's' research results.

"Mana, HP, and the power of the soul are, after all, just a kind of energy. Only by sacrificing life can one sublimate through the ritual."

Essence, Qi, and Spirit are only a part of life.

The unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit is life itself.

"Grey Wolf · Aidu can form elemental creatures, which should have a certain relationship with the characteristics of the True Fire of Life. It is difficult to complete by relying solely on spells."

"What he considers to be fire is life, and even he himself has transformed into fire. The True Fire of Life itself must be a product of the unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

The essence of the Spiritual Body is also the unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, commanded by will.

"The ritual process of sacrifice can be achieved through burning."

Then Chen Yi also thought of the information about Primal Reversion brought by the Pokémon world.

Chen Yi had a premonition that when his research was completed,

this would be a more powerful technique than [Burning Mimicry].

Even after breaking through the 7th Order, it would still be useful.

Then... Chen Yi's research was also stuck.

The more he researched, the more he felt that Grey Wolf · Aidu was a genius.

Life can be seen as birth.

So what is birth?

Birth and death are opposites.

The Essence, Qi, and Spirit represented by mana, HP, and the power of the soul are, after all, just some energy; they are inanimate objects.

They have no consciousness and no life.

So why can these three energies represent birth?

Even if the three energies are combined, they cannot form a representation of birth, at most forming a more advanced energy.

But it is still an inanimate object!

Chen Yi also tried to fuse the Origin Heart Fire formed by the power of the soul with ordinary Heart Fire.

The result was still no change.

All of Chen Yi's research is telling him that this is a dead end.

But Grey Wolf · Aidu's existence does indeed prove that this is not a dead end.

Why?

Why can the True Fire of Life, which burns the enemy, form the True Fire of Life that represents life?
