Chapter 156

The first release of his [Origin] in three days.

If Sieh Mother-in-law found out about this, she would probably fall ill from anger.

The extraordinary powers in the Flame World were actually extremely weak. Every single person who could obtain extraordinary powers would either have extraordinary courage, a strong will, a great opportunity, or a special trait that was different from ordinary people. They were especially suitable to be inoculated with some external powers.

As a Witch of the Flame world, Sieh Mother-in-law had been a young and beautiful aristocratic girl since she found her ancestor's witchcraft notes in her own storage room at the age of 16. It took her over 10 years to successfully release her [Origin] for the first time and become a qualified Witch.

For the next several dozen years, she had been stuck at the first release of her [Origin]. To obtain the resources to release her [Origin] a second time, she had spent many years planning and plotting countless schemes, only to fail in the end.

And now, the people of the Disaster world only needed to be stimulated by Disasforce to release their [Origin] for the first time in three days, and according to Negri's calculations, it would take at most a month for someone to release their [Origin] for the second time to appear.

The [Spiritual Inception] germs were one of the foundations of their cultivation, so as they continued to practice [Spiritual Inception], the soul germs contained within them would infect these cultivators. Unknowingly, the souls of these cultivators would be infected by Negri's soul germs and become a part of Negri.

This way, when there was a certain number of people who had released their [Origin] for the second time, Negri would be able to use them as a foundation to upgrade his own soul and break through that impossible limit.

The first person to release their [Origin] wasn't Chen Di Xi, whom Negri favored, but someone else. It wasn't that Chen Di Xi was slow, he was actively suppressing the progress of his [Spiritual Inception], otherwise, he might not have been able to obtain the Disasforce weapon.

To create his Biomass Gear, he first hunted a certain number of zombies, endured the nausea, extracted the mutated germs from the zombies' bodies, then poured the black germs on himself.

Breathing in the branch of [Spiritual Inception] that Negri granted him, the layer of black liquid enveloped Chen Di Xi like a living creature, seeped into his body, corroded his flesh, and quickly assimilated his body. At the same time, an intense will to devour and plunder assaulted Chen Di Xi's mind.

"Damn it, that person didn't say it would be this uncomfortable" Chen Di Xi hugged his head and collapsed to the ground, enduring the impact of the germs' collective consciousness.

It wasn't that easy to create Biomass Gear. If one only needed to collect a certain amount of mutated germs and modify them with a branch of Spiritual Inception, then Biomass Gear was simply too cheap.

The true difficulty of completing Biomass Gear was in dealing with the combined consciousness of the germs, and the main purpose of Spiritual Inception was to link the two consciousnesses together.

Under such circumstances, there could only be three possible outcomes. First, the germs' collective consciousness would contribute to the host's consciousness and completely devour him. The mutated germs would most likely mutate once again and become a powerful monster.

Secondly, if a person's willpower was strong enough, they would be able to destroy the germs' collective consciousness, using their own willpower to take control of the germs. This way, they would be able to control these germs and form a perfect Biomass Gear.

Third, the consciousness of the two will complete a half-fusion symbiosis, and the two will influence each other. As for who will influence who more, it will be decided by the individual's will.

In the end, Chen Di Xi was still a bit too impatient. His willpower couldn't completely destroy the germs' collective consciousness, but as a person recognized by Negri as someone with potential, his willpower wasn't weak enough to be destroyed by the germs' collective consciousness.

Because of that, during the confrontation, the two consciousnesses began to half-fuse, finally completing a symbiosis.

When Chen Di Xi stood up, his body was already covered in a black skin-tight jumpsuit. To facilitate the use of Spiritual Inception, his face had turned into a mask, making him look like a demon from afar.

After completing the symbiosis, Chen Di Xi also obtained his Biomass Gear. Moreover, his Biomass Gear had an extremely strong devouring ability. By devouring other creatures, it could replenish the vitality of the host. At the same time, by devouring the genes of other creatures, it could obtain a certain amount of evolution. However, while devouring, it would also affect the host.

But if he could perfectly destroy the germs' collective consciousness, even though the germs would lose their devouring ability, they would still be able to perfectly fuse with his body, even being able to cooperate with his [Origin] ability in the future.

The symbiosis mode was similar to the demonic path, it allowed one to progress quickly, but had a side effect that could easily affect one's willpower. The [Domination] mode had greater growth potential, and it was safer, so it was hard to say which of the two was better.

It was because of entering the symbiosis mode that Chen Di Xi wasted so much time. By the time he reached the location of the Disasforce weapon Negri gave him, he found that someone else had already taken it.

Because he had completed the symbiosis with the germs' collective consciousness, Chen Di Xi's human consciousness had become much more indifferent, at the same time, his invasive nature had also become much stronger. If this was in the past, he might have just considered himself unlucky and went to look for other Disasforce weapons. After all, even if he knew that there was a Disasforce weapon here, that didn't necessarily mean that it was his.

However, now that he had entered a symbiosis with the germs' collective consciousness, as soon as he found out that someone else had taken the Disasforce weapon, his first thought was to find that person and steal the weapon back.

Chen Di Xi also noticed this change in his consciousness, but he didn't care too much about it. In this chaotic world, perhaps this type of personality would allow him to survive longer and achieve greater success.

As he stroked an extinguished campfire with his finger, he could still feel a bit of warmth. The other party hadn't been gone for too long, most likely, they had already released their [Origin] here after obtaining the Disasforce weapon, so there was still time to give chase.

While wearing Biomass Gear, Chen Di Xi used it in conjunction with Spiritual Inception to obtain the senses unique to mutated zombies. He could sense the [Spiritual Inception] germs in his respiratory tract, as well as faintly sense the presence of other people with [Spiritual Inception] germs.

"You stole my stuff and still want to run?" following his senses, Chen Di Xi chased after the other party.

Three Sectors away from here, a middle-aged man was holding a standard-issue longsword made from unique materials in one hand while holding a 12-year-old girl in the other, cautiously walking through the city.

As he stroked the standard-issued Longsword with his finger, the feeling of being connected to his soul made him feel a bit more at ease. His Spiritual Inception progress could be considered quite fast, and then he accidentally discovered this Disasforce weapon, which allowed him to achieve the first release of his [Origin].

"Lanshan." The middle-aged man murmured his daughter's name and lowered his head to look at his daughter's puzzled eyes. He said firmly, "I will definitely protect you."
