Chapter 154: Ji Yu's Level Three State

No one knew, and no one could discover.

Inside a tiny room, a human body was undergoing a bizarre and colossal transformation.

A human form faded from existence to nothingness, and then reformed from nothingness into being. The entire process was accompanied by light and anomalies, yet it appeared exceptionally tranquil within the room.

At this moment, Ji Yu had not detached his consciousness from the fawn's body; he had merely opened the personal data panel belonging to his own human form.

[Player Status]
[Optimal]
[Life Tier: 3 (Legendary)]
[Constitution: 98 (Cap: 200)]
[Height: 1.82 / 16.18 meters (Cap: 25 meters)]
(1.82 is the disguised height; 16.18 is the current limit of the true form)
[Age: 26 years old (Cap: 1000 years)]
[Trait ①: Consciousness Enhancement (Medium)]
[Trait ②: Vigor (Medium)]
[Trait ③: Natural Affinity (High)]
[Trait ④: High Explosive Strength (High)]
[Trait ⑤: Water Mimicry (Medium)]
[Trait ⑥: Life Grafting (High)]
[Trait ⑦: Cellular Memory (High)]
[Trait ⑧: Airflow Manipulation (Medium)]
[Newly Acquired Trait ①: Elemental Transformation (Special)] (The physical form is no longer restricted to pure flesh and blood; elemental transformation greatly mitigates physical damage.)
[Newly Acquired Trait ②: Hydrogen Mastery (Special)] (Ultimate control over the hydrogen element. Hydrogen properties can be utilized to make oneself float, and compressed hydrogen can be ignited with a spark, producing massive explosive and combustion effects.)

[Compensation Rewards]
[Compensation ①: Spatial Teleportation]
(Utilizing the connection between the main body and avatars, one can perform relative spatial teleportation between them, strengthening the bond among avatars and with the player.)
(Limited to three uses per day, single-direction transfer; a round trip counts as two uses.)
[Compensation ②: Among the player's traits, Consciousness Enhancement, Vigor, Water Mimicry, and Airflow Manipulation—four low-potential traits—will be stripped away, simultaneously granting one random Special-tier trait reward. Do you wish to proceed with this operation?]
[Compensation ③: The Cellular Memory trait shares certain commonalities with the Elemental Transformation trait. The Cellular Memory trait can now be stripped and randomly replaced with another Special-tier trait. Do you wish to proceed with this operation?]

When Ji Yu gazed at his attributes panel, he fell into a brief contemplation.

This time, Ji Yu's personal breakthrough had been extremely abrupt, occurring entirely without any conscious sensation on his part. Such a breakthrough was most likely a boon bestowed by the planetary will, or perhaps the feedback from the fawn's breakthrough echoing back to him.

Regardless of which it was, Ji Yu had indeed reaped a massive harvest.

First was the Elemental Transformation trait. It was not hard to guess that this was a trait amplification fed back to his main body after the fawn broke through to Tier 3.

As for Hydrogen Mastery, it seemed somewhat baffling.

Yet Ji Yu could roughly surmise that it was a physiological reaction manifesting in his body following his breakthrough to Tier 3.

Hydrogen Mastery? The ability to both make oneself float and control fire?

Such an ability could hardly be considered weak, and it served as a powerful means akin to spellcasting. Ji Yu found himself taking a great interest in it.

Aside from these two traits, the three compensation rewards granted by the game were also exceptionally high-quality.

The benefits of Spatial Teleportation were unquestionable.

With it, Ji Yu could instantly transport the fawn to the location of the olm, allowing the olm to rapidly approach the Tier 2 limit.

At the same time, Ji Yu could enable the fawn to indirectly assist both the olm and the oak tree in achieving Tier 3 breakthroughs.

That is to say, helping the olm's vassal aquatic species undergo extreme enhancement, quickly giving rise to more Tier 2 aquatic beings to complete the guide quest for the olm's Tier 3 breakthrough. The oak tree would benefit similarly.

Furthermore, Spatial Teleportation could be simultaneously used for evacuation. In short, the advantages of Spatial Teleportation were truly obvious and formidable.

As for this compensation, Ji Yu was naturally extremely satisfied, even though it was limited to three times a day.

And the game's compensation did not stop at Spatial Teleportation.

Looking over the second and third compensation reward options, Ji Yu pondered only briefly before immediately choosing to accept.

The four low-potential traits held little real utility for him; exchanging them for a Special-tier trait was a clear profit no matter how one looked at it.

As for Cellular Memory—had Ji Yu lacked the Elemental Transformation trait, Cellular Memory would undoubtedly have been a divine skill.

Yet, given that he now possessed Elemental Transformation, the scale of his body and even his life form had undergone a qualitative shift. Cellular Memory now appeared somewhat superfluous.

Thus, if he could swap it for another trait that enhanced his being, Ji Yu was a hundred times willing.

Therefore, after only a brief evaluation, Ji Yu chose to accept.

[Congratulations to the player for acquiring the trait: Optical Camouflage (Special)]
[Trait: Optical Camouflage (Special)] (Due to the Elemental Transformation trait, the body can strongly absorb electromagnetic waves, making it undetectable by radar. Simultaneously, the body can generate negative refraction to distort light phenomena, achieving three-hundred-and-sixty-degree blind-spot-free invisibility, undetectable by the naked eye.)

[Congratulations to the player for acquiring the trait: Ultra-Gigantification (Special)]
[Trait: Ultra-Gigantification (Special)] (During elemental transformation, the current physical posture can manifest at up to one hundred times its normal size. While in the hundred-fold size state, mental energy consumption is extreme, and the duration of maintenance is directly proportional to the player's mental state.)

Gazing at the two newly appeared traits on the data panel, Ji Yu felt a rather peculiar sensation.

Optical Camouflage? Could even this count as a Special-tier trait?

Yet, considering the ultimate effect of invisibility, Ji Yu accepted it. After all, this effect was vastly superior to the olm's aquatic mimicry.

As for the Ultra-Gigantification trait—

It left Ji Yu somewhat speechless.

The trait itself was excellent, but it inevitably brought to mind Ultraman and Pocket Monsters.

What could he say? He could only remark that the "Avatar of All Things" game truly lived up to its name, featuring traits capable of eliciting such speechlessness. Impressive.

Of course, complaints aside, the Ultra-Gigantification trait was indeed quite good.

At the very least, his physical strength would undoubtedly increase due to gigantification. Such an effect was considered quite decent.

With this in mind, viewing his current data panel offered Ji Yu a measure of comfort.

The fawn had gained the planet's recognition, acquired a plane, and even become a candidate for a planetary god.

And himself? Because he was a game player, was he somehow spurned by Blue Star in this regard?

Whether Blue Star disdained him, Ji Yu could not say for sure, but it was undoubtedly tied to the existence of the Avatar of All Things game.

Yet, if one were to stubbornly compare the benefits brought by the game versus gaining Blue Star's recognition to see which was better—

Though Ji Yu's understanding of the transcendent was limited, he still felt that the boons bestowed by the game were far greater.

Setting aside how the game had granted his consumptive-ridden body a new lease on life, just the fact that the game enabled his fawn avatar to successfully break through to a Tier 3 life form, using that as a catalyst to spark Blue Star's resurgence, led Ji Yu to believe that the game's existence might far surpass Blue Star in stature.

The miracles brought by the Avatar of All Things were already powerful enough, and the fawn's breakthrough had indirectly triggered Blue Star's revival. No matter how he looked at it, Ji Yu felt that the game was the fundamental bedrock upon which he stood in this world.

What the game was, and where it came from, Ji Yu had no desire to dwell upon.

Because everything he currently possessed was bestowed by the game.

Rather than speculating on conspiracies, Ji Yu felt his life was already worthwhile, for his own efforts constituted only a tiny, negligible fraction. Without the game, he would merely have been an ordinary person.

The kind who could be tossed into a sea of humanity without even raising a ripple.

Looking at his personal data panel, Ji Yu felt quite pleased with himself at the moment.

With his own breakthrough achieved and various trait abilities manifested, Ji Yu naturally felt a strong urge to immediately test his current powers.

However, before that, Ji Yu needed to understand one particular situation.

That was, what manner of specialness did the plane bestowed upon the fawn by Blue Star possess?

Furthermore, he was quite curious about the internal environment of that plane which had vanished into the night sky to become a star.

With these thoughts, Ji Yu immediately refocused his attention on reality, intending to immediately take control of the fawn and enter its plane.

Yet, right at that moment, an unexpected anomaly suddenly occurred.

Blue Star's revival and the fawn's breakthrough ought to have been a joyous occasion.

However, for a certain malice, this very moment of Blue Star's resurgence began to align with it on a fundamental rule-based level.

Precisely because of this, abruptly, the instant the fawn raised its head to gaze at the sky—

A purple moon appeared without the slightest warning.

Beneath the clear night skies, the purple moon hung conspicuously in the heavens, visually appearing closer to Blue Star than before.

Because, at this moment, the purple moon appeared larger in the fawn's eyes.

Yes, it had grown larger, measuring twice the size it had been during its previous appearance.

Such a transformation was undoubtedly shocking.

Simultaneously, it filled Ji Yu with an ominous foreboding.

Ji Yu's intuition was not mistaken.

For the very instant this purple moon emerged, every existing domain across the entire world abruptly underwent violent changes.

——————

The desert military camp where Sector 1 of the Ryan Federation was located.

Stationed here at this moment were four modern mechanized legions, totaling nearly one hundred and thirty thousand personnel.

Most of these hundred and thirty thousand soldiers and officers had yet to recover their composure.

For these individuals were still recalling and marveling at the image of the divine deer that had appeared in their minds, alongside the countless strands of colorful radiance that had previously manifested in the sky and then vanished.

They speculated and discussed, clearly astounded by the miraculous spectacle they had just witnessed.

Yet, before these soldiers could spend more time discussing it, the purple moon abruptly materializing in the sky instantly dragged everyone back from their wonder and awe to reality.

Furthermore, at that exact moment, right in front of the camp where these two legions were stationed, the moment the purple moon appeared, the Black Sea of Sector 1 manifested once more within the wasteland.

This time, the instant the Black Sea appeared, everyone beheld the dense, countless ghost ships floating upon its surface.

Nor was that all, for the instant the Black Sea domain appeared, it rapidly expanded once again.

Previously, the Black Sea domain had already spanned over a hundred square kilometers, but this time, its expansion was even faster and more violent.

Along the boundaries of the Black Sea domain, towering waves surged to nearly a hundred meters in height.

Black tidal waves came crashing down, instantly encroaching upon the surrounding normal desert.

In a flash, the Black Sea expanded once more, growing to roughly three hundred square kilometers.

The four military forces stationed around the Black Sea domain were deployed five kilometers away from its perimeter, so fortunately, they suffered no casualties from this sudden expansion.

Even so, a Black Sea spanning over three hundred square kilometers was immense.

It was now equivalent to the size of three Ryan Federation capital airports.

Upon the vast Black Sea, ghost ships were packed densely together, and monsters emerged one after another in rapid succession. At that very moment, combat alarms shrieked across the entire encampment of the Black Sea garrison legion.
