Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 758

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: A New Development Direction for the Mother Body!
Sterl briefly considered the idea, but then dismissed it.

Though he wasn’t a particularly good person, he couldn’t bring himself to slaughter countless living beings just for a bit of soul power. Doing so would be no different from the mysterious void force or the impending great calamity that was about to descend.

Back in Hell, he had only absorbed the souls taken by the mother body—he hadn’t actively hunted them.

Moreover, he was now the ruler of the Alpha 8 world, wielding the Sword of the World and holding the title of World Overlord.

If he truly chose to slaughter living beings for soul power, he might risk losing the Sword of the World, and would certainly face rejection and hatred from all the worlds.

Having experienced the immense power of the Sword of the World, Sterl didn’t want this valuable artifact to slip away from him, so this method held no real merit.

Even assuming he did choose to slaughter living beings at any cost, the potential souls of a single world would be limited.

Perhaps killing the beings of an entire world would provide a large amount of soul power, enhancing his strength significantly, but eventually, the souls of a single world would only amount to a drop in the ocean.

Such a self-destructive method was far too foolish.

“Aside from divine authority, body, and soul, Dream Power might be another new path.”

Sterl pushed aside his distracting thoughts and refocused on his main train of thought.

He had some understanding of Dream Power. This mysterious yet powerful force must be of a very high tier.

It might even have reached the level of rules. After all, transforming the illusory into something real was truly unfathomable, and even powerful gods couldn’t touch such a level of power.

As for the great gods, he hadn’t witnessed one himself yet, but given the foundation of the Orichalcum nation, even though a second great god hadn’t arisen since the first founder’s disappearance, their power should still be formidable.

At the very least, they must have plenty of great divine-level artifacts and treasures.

Even so, the Orichalcum nation didn’t dare to overly pry into or explore the powers of Dreamland, which spoke volumes about how terrifying it truly was.

If not for the existence of the Dream Orb, he certainly wouldn’t have chosen to venture into Dreamland.

Next, he immersed his consciousness in Purgatory Space, where the ten mother bodies were still continuously nurturing new souls.

After four days of accumulation, the number of high-tier soul puppets had reached eighty thousand again.

Without hesitation, Sterl directly refined all the high-tier soul power. In total, he had gathered eight thousand high-tier soul power, equivalent to the total amount refined from the souls of sixteen upper-tier divine authority beings.

With a thought, the eight thousand high-tier soul power was quickly divided into ten parts and injected into the souls of the mother bodies.

Suddenly, as before, all the mother bodies seemed to be stimulated, starting to go into a frenzy!

This “frenzy” was not from pain but from excitement, greed, and actions driven by their soul’s primal instincts.

The puppets, which were supposed to have lost their autonomy, exhibited an instinctual desire, crazily absorbing the high-tier soul power pouring into them as if they had encountered some sort of great nourishment.

Sterl’s gaze remained calm. This change in the mother bodies wasn’t the first time he had witnessed it. After controlling the speed at which the soul power entered, he quietly waited.

After absorbing the high-tier soul power, the bodies of the soul puppets began to visibly grow and expand at an accelerating rate.

The terrifying eyeballs on the surface of the mother bodies continuously blinked, and the fur covering their bodies subtly trembled, as though they were relishing this transformation.

Time passed second by second, and the size of the mother bodies continued to increase.

At this moment, Sterl connected his mind to the ten mother bodies and immediately issued a command.

That was to fully develop towards enhancing the efficiency of nurturing ordinary soul power.

Upon receiving this command, all the mother body souls paused for a moment, then their increasingly solidified bodies began to expand at an even faster rate.

Watching the changes in the mother bodies, a hint of surprise and joy appeared on Sterl’s face. These ten mother bodies were merely puppets created through Purgatory Space.

He had originally only intended to test it out, but he hadn’t expected that he could actually direct the development of the mother bodies. With this, the production of ordinary soul power might really be greatly improved.

The ten mother bodies grew larger and larger, their appearance no longer as refined as before, becoming more grotesque and rugged.

By the time all eight thousand points of high-tier soul power were absorbed, the volume of the mother bodies had expanded to about three times its original size!

It should be noted that last time, Sterl had injected eight thousand five hundred points of high-tier soul power, more than this time, but in terms of size alone, the effect of the eight thousand points this time far exceeded the previous results!

Of course, this didn’t necessarily mean that this development was better than before, just that it was more in line with Sterl’s current needs.

If one day, he no longer needed ordinary soul power, he could also direct these mother bodies to change their development direction. However, this would require spending some soul power as the cost.

After the ten mother bodies had fully enhanced, they immediately began to move quickly.

Each one opened its mouth, absorbing the power from the unknown space, then continuously merging and nurturing within their bodies. About ten minutes later, a total of five million souls were spewed out from the cracks in their bodies!

“Hiss~”

Sterl sucked in a sharp breath, looking at the countless ordinary souls scattered around, his face filled with joy and excitement.

Previously, the mother bodies produced a total of two million ordinary souls in ten minutes, but now, the increase was so substantial!

Though these souls were only one percent the size of a normal living being’s soul, the quantity more than made up for it.

With this, the amount of ordinary soul power that could be harvested per day had jumped from 20,000 points to 50,000 points.

This amount was still a drop in the bucket for Sterl, but it was only the beginning. With the subsequent large input of soul power, the output from the mother bodies would continue to rise. It wouldn’t be long before his body and soul would continue to improve under the refinement of the vast amounts of soul power.

Of course, as with any gain, there would be a loss. Sterl then instructed the mother bodies to begin condensing high-tier souls.

He watched as the mother bodies devoured large amounts of ordinary souls again. After a long period of condensation, they regurgitated the high-tier souls.

Compared to before, the speed at which they condensed the high-tier souls was much slower.

“Good, it’s still within acceptable range.”

Sterl let out a slight sigh of relief. The speed had indeed slowed considerably, but it was still within an acceptable range.

On the contrary, from the current situation, the output of high-tier soul power was actually higher than before, increasing by about fifty percent.

After all, with more ordinary souls, naturally, more high-tier souls could be condensed—there was no shortage of materials.

Of course, this was just a temporary gain. As the production of ordinary souls continued to increase, the speed of condensing high-tier souls would inevitably slow down.

This was an unavoidable situation.

But for Sterl, at this stage, he was still far from his third breakthrough. So, the effect of high-tier soul power wasn’t very significant yet.

As for converting it into Power of Star-Bone, ordinary soul power could accomplish that as well.

In comparison, ordinary soul power was much more useful for Sterl at this stage, so it naturally took priority in his development.

After successfully altering the development direction of the mother bodies, Sterl continued to instruct them to focus on producing high-tier souls. This way, in addition to accumulating 3,000 points of high-tier soul power per day, he could also gather 20,000 ordinary soul power, making it a huge profit.

Once enough high-tier soul power had been accumulated, he would inject it all at once into the mother bodies, greatly enhancing their ability to nurture ordinary souls!

During the time he was waiting for the soul power to accumulate and for the cheat to refresh, Sterl remained in the cultivation space, stationed in the royal castle. He didn’t go out to indulge in pleasures.

This time, he had fully declared war on the upper realms’ forces, and he had to remain on high alert at all times. In comparison, the pleasures of the flesh were merely occasional releases and indulgences.

Moreover, the methods of those powerful beings were unpredictable and diverse. There was no telling when they might strike again. If, at that moment, he were lost in leisure, the consequences could be disastrous.

Additionally, he didn’t want to rely too heavily on the cheat and Soul Devourer Sphere, so during this period, he focused on developing and integrating Law Power.

His soul was incredibly resilient, able to support the perfect fusion of the Laws before. This was one of his unique advantages.

Furthermore, from the title “God of All Laws,” he vaguely sensed that mastering a large number of Laws could potentially trigger some kind of transformation, granting him incredibly powerful abilities.

Of course, this still needed verification. Compared to the myriad of Laws, the few hundred Laws he had mastered were still insignificant.

Days passed, and by the third day, the high-tier soul power had accumulated to 9,000 points. The Dream Orb had also undergone its fifth evolution, reaching its peak.

On the fourth day, the capacity of Illusory Dream increased to twenty times its original limit. Each increase in capacity caused significant transformations.

Although a 20x increase in Dream Power seemed only slightly different from a 15x increase, the actual explosion of power was on an entirely different level.

When 20x Dream Power was fully unleashed, it would be enough to crush any upper-tier divine authority.

On the platform, Sterl held a multicolored orb of light in his hand. The orb appeared ordinary, but it radiated a sense of immense danger.

Soon, more and more Laws flowed into the orb, causing the energy within it to become increasingly chaotic.

Logically speaking, with such a massive, chaotic amount of power, the orb should have exploded in the next moment.

Yet, under a vast wave of energy, it remained in a stable balance.

Sterl extended his hand and lightly tapped the orb. The orb began to stretch and change, transforming into a gentler energy.

As it gradually morphed into a complex structure, Sterl suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the orb out of his hand.
