Chapter 63: Announcing the Arrival of the Extraordinary to the World
"Over the past few days, with the research on the soul, we have achieved some results," the Heavenly Dao said.
"Oh! Impressive. Let me see the results of your research." Su Fan was somewhat surprised and stopped playing with the throwing knife.
As Su Fan's mental energy dissipated, several throwing knives fell to the ground.
Su Fan showered himself with countless emotional crystals, finally achieving some success in terms of mental strength.
For example, Su Fan can now control objects remotely using his mental power, and control flying knives by using his mental power as a link.
Su Fan originally wanted to control the sword so he could pretend to be a sword immortal who could fly on a sword, but unfortunately, he could only barely manage to control the sword.
However, if Su Fan wanted to ride the sword and fly, his current mental strength wouldn't support it. It's similar to the sixth stage of internal energy martial arts, and can be considered a different path leading to the same goal.
So Su Fan simply changed his approach and used eighteen throwing knives, which was just as cool.
Su Fan received the knowledge transmitted by the Heavenly Dao. The abilities developed by the Heavenly Dao can be roughly understood as a domain, referencing the aura of the eighth level of internal energy martial arts, and incorporating some development of the soul and emotions.
It can rapidly absorb negative emotional forces, such as violence, terror, and sadness, within a certain range.
Then it inflicts damage on the souls of creatures within the area.
"It feels a bit like a parade of a hundred demons!" Su Fan said, casually summoning dozens of hideous ghost phantoms.
Although these phantoms are fake, with this ability, people in the area only perceive them as summoned ghost phantoms launching an attack.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Fan said, "It's time for humanity to realize the power of the extraordinary. I'm going to Japan to use it as a stage to announce the arrival of the extraordinary era to the world!"
"Perhaps we could choose to lie low for a while longer? Right now, we might not be absolutely safe from human technology!" Tiandao advised.
"No problem! Even if I can't completely dominate, it'll just generate some buzz for the emergence of the extraordinary. Anyway, I have a [Protective Jade Talisman], so my safety is guaranteed if anything goes wrong," Su Fan said.
"I also want to see how strong I am. Besides, I've accumulated so many emotional crystals so I'll have some resources when I encounter problems! Don't worry! I know what I'm doing," Su Fan explained.
Japan is not a small country after all. It has hundreds of millions of people and millions of soldiers. Its national strength is among the top twenty in the world, if not the top two. If you want to cause trouble here, you should be prepared!
Su Fan's confidence mainly stemmed from the [Warning] ability of the [Protective Jade Talisman], which prevented him from being ambushed. The [Material Transfer] ability of the [Gourd Porcelain Pillow] allowed him to teleport himself to another location if danger arose.
Of course, this level of confidence alone is not enough to cause trouble, so Su Fan plans to create a few extraordinary items as his trump cards.
It's never a bad thing to have a lot of dust-level artifacts, since you'll definitely need them when you're upgrading to mountain-level artifacts.
Moreover, the advantage of a mountain-level artifact compared to a dust-level artifact is that it has no side effects. Although the abilities may change after upgrading to a mountain-level artifact, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
Su Fan still doesn't understand what's going on with the advancement of the rare item. If the advancement is the combination of five dust-level rare items, then Su Fan will be ecstatic.
But that's obviously not the case. Su Fan pondered the difference between the [Shared Dream Pillow] and other strange objects, guessing that some strange objects could be upgraded while others could not.
As for the differences, Su Fan didn't know. For example, Su Fan also tried to smash the emotion crystal with [Boundless Light], but [Boundless Light] didn't absorb the emotion crystal at all.
The first thing to consider is the issue of identity; at the very least, Su Fan can't go there with his own face on his person!
Because he joined the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, his identity file was entered into the database. Moreover, Su Fan was quite famous on Qingyu Island in the Mountain and Sea Realm. His illusionary abilities could fool those who experienced the events firsthand, but they could never fool the satellites in the sky.
So Su Fan picked up a mask he had bought at a tourist attraction. Masks are similar to the ability to hide one's identity, aren't they?
Su Fan began to skillfully add characteristics to the mask. The cost of perception was only five years of lifespan and about 20,000 emotion crystals, which was nothing to Su Fan now!
[Strange Item: Godhood Mask]
Rank: Dust Level
Feature: Concealing identity
Cost: Three years of lifespan
rule:
1. [Shaping] Users can change the shape within a certain range.
2. [Enlightenment] can enlighten a statue, granting it extraordinary abilities. The strength of these abilities is directly proportional to the power of faith contained within the statue.
3. The statue created by the [Puppet] will be controlled by the user.
cost:
1. The user's divinity gradually increases, while their humanity gradually disappears.
2. This wondrous object requires the absorption of faith power to activate.
"Hiss!" Su Fan gasped as he looked at the [Godhood Mask].
Is this artifact powerful? Of course it is, but the price is equally high. It feels like if Su Fan uses it for a long time, he will slowly become less human.
Su Fan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to use it anyway. It's just an increase in divine power, what's the big deal? At worst, he'll just seal it away after this use. As long as it's short-lived, it shouldn't have any significant impact.
Besides, people in the Mountain and Sea Realm can suppress their divinity when they interact with each other!
Su Fan put on the mask, but found that it didn't seem to have much effect. He saw on the price list that activating the artifact required absorbing the power of faith.
Fortunately, emotional crystals are a universal fuel, capable of even replacing lifespan, so they should be able to replace the power of faith as well!
Su Fan casually took out about ten emotion crystals and placed them next to the mask; they were indeed absorbed.
Now Su Fan put on the mask again, activated the [Shaping] ability, and felt as if he had turned into clay, able to become whatever he wanted.
It's basically a downgraded version of 72 Transformations, but it also has its limits. For example, the maximum height is only three meters; any taller is impossible. The minimum height is only 1.2 meters; any shorter is also not allowed.
Su Fan felt that his transformation level was roughly equivalent to that of the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West!
Upon seeing the abilities [Enlightenment] and [Puppet], Su Fan began to have ideas about his trip to Japan.
"It doesn't seem to have any effect, and it doesn't seem like I've become indifferent to humans after wearing it!" Su Fan muttered to himself, wondering if he was just scaring himself and that the price of the [Godhood Mask] wasn't as serious as he thought.
After another round of preparations, Su Fan addressed the Heavenly Dao: "Use [Material Delivery] to send me to Japan, Wuhu! In my name, announce the arrival of the extraordinary to this world!"
Su Fan subconsciously acted noisily, hoping to resist the increase in divinity and not be affected by becoming a god!
