Starting Unlimited Evolution from Grinding
Chapter 417: Everyone's Progress, The Upcoming Evolution of [Spatial Creation]Over the next two days, Lin Mo experienced a very relaxed and enjoyable life.
His current goal was simply to wait until the Elven race finished handling the aftermath, completed their statistics, and distributed the rewards for this Genius Gathering.
It wasn't just him. The many prodigies and powers who had been drawn here by this incident were also waiting to see how things would unfold.
Before that, Lin Mo couldn't really go anywhere, and he already had his next goal in mind.
So, for these two days, he had essentially nothing to do and was extremely idle. He simply stayed in the palace the Roxez Empire had prepared for him. Every day, he spent time chatting and laughing with the girls at home, and occasionally strolling through the bustling Imperial Capital to experience the local culture, customs, and specialty cuisine.
It was worth mentioning that Nuolun had not gone back on her promise regarding their agreement... but before that, she needed to return to her family first.
After all, Nuolun was the future heir of the Oxivis Family, the focus of the family's all-out cultivation efforts. For such an important figure to be following Lin Mo for a while, it naturally required some negotiation with the family.
Of course, there wouldn't actually be any resistance.
After all, the person she was about to follow was named Lin Mo.
Prior to this, Lin Mo's reputation as a prodigy had already spread across the continent. Every power wanted to build a good relationship with this young man. But, ultimately, they only regarded him as a promising junior.
Now, however, after he had displayed incomparably powerful strength in this war, the positioning of Lin Mo had completely changed.
It wasn't a matter of the future; he already possessed the immense power to stand at the top of the continent's hierarchy.
Even against a prestigious family like the Oxivis, he had the status and confidence to speak with them as an equal.
So, regarding Nuolun temporarily leaving the family to follow Lin Mo, there wouldn't be any opposition within the Oxivis Family. Or rather, even if someone was unhappy, they wouldn't dare to voice their objection.
Nuolun's trip back was essentially for handover procedures... Because she was the family heir, she had been groomed as the future head of the family and had already taken over a significant portion of the family's industries. These industries now needed to be temporarily reassigned to other family members.
According to Nuolun, she was probably in for a long, drawn-out meeting with the old fossils in the family.
Of course, it wouldn't take too long. She would likely be able to make it back before Lin Mo set off for the Serya Empire.
Nuolun had left two days ago. She was probably done with her business by now and on her way back.
Although Lin Mo had a very relaxed time these two days, he wasn't completely idle. He didn't slack off on the things he needed to do.
For instance, practicing the Life Contract skill.
After this incident, Lin Mo's strength had increased significantly, and his base attributes had received a massive boost. This also meant that the potential for improvement for the Life Contract skill had become much greater, and the benefits Ellie and the others could gain through it were also very substantial.
So, over the past few days, they had been working incredibly hard. They had even set aside their mutual grudges to cooperate and practice together.
The final results were, naturally, quite remarkable.
After an intense period of training, Ellie and the others had all reached around Level 23.
Their levels were similar, but Ellie was still the strongest among them. The advantages of her bloodline were still difficult to overcome.
Of course, that was excluding Lily. When factoring Lily in, the Violet Empire's princess was actually a bit stronger. Although her level was only two ahead of the others and she didn't have the bonus attributes provided by Ellie, Lily herself was a dual-class professional. The enhancements from her Paladin class were also quite impressive.
While Holy Light Power, a special energy, was most effective against creatures like the Dark Tide or the undead, that didn't mean it was useless when fighting other professionals. Even without a direct weakness to exploit, Holy Light Power, as a higher-tier energy, was inherently stronger than ordinary mana or Qi and Blood.
Based on their sparring sessions over the past two days, Lin Mo and the others still had a considerable distance to go before they could catch up to Lily.
Of course, with Lin Mo's help, this distance wasn't insurmountable. The premise was that, during this time, Lily hadn't received Lin Mo's "assistance."
Speaking of which, although the distance between Lin Mo and Lily had been constantly narrowing during their time together, perhaps due to her special identity, Lily had always maintained a respectful attitude towards him. This, in turn, wasn't conducive to building a closer, more intimate relationship.
Furthermore, Lily herself was quite naive about such matters. She was, in a way, a child with a serious personality and a bit of innocence.
Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry, either. He preferred to let things take their natural course. After all, he was already busy enough.
Besides practicing the Life Contract, the most important task was, naturally, to continue expanding the Portable Space.
Now that his strength had reached a certain height, the Portable Space was no longer absolutely safe.
After all, having reached Lin Mo's current power level, it wouldn't be strange to encounter opponents at the Legendary Realm level in the near future.
And any entity that reached the Legendary Realm possessed the power to break space. This was a real headache for Lin Mo.
After all, this was a space he had painstakingly carved out, pouring a tremendous amount of effort into it. If it were accidentally damaged, he would be heartbroken.
Moreover, they all lived in the Portable Space now. This space had essentially become their home.
Was there any way to make this space more stable, to the point where even a Legendary-level expert couldn't easily destroy it?
Over the past few days, Lin Mo had been constantly pondering this question.
But as of now, his grasp and understanding of Space Magic were still quite shallow. So, despite many attempts, such as compressing the outer space to form a spatial barrier or folding the inner space to try and hide the small area they called home, these measures, while possibly having some effect, were still very limited.
If they were to encounter a truly powerful enemy, these methods might protect their dwelling for a short time, but it was only temporary. It wasn't a long-term solution.
The real solution was to comprehensively strengthen the Portable Space to a level where even an average Legendary-level expert couldn't break it.
And this required Lin Mo to increase his own strength and also to raise the level of the [Spatial Creation] skill itself, or even cause it to evolve.
This was exactly what he had been doing these past few days. Apart from training the Life Contract, resting, and occasional meditation, he spent the vast majority of his time developing the Portable Space.
Perhaps because Lin Mo's strength had increased so much during the previous war, and his mana attributes had also risen significantly, the progress of developing the Portable Space this time was very smooth, with substantial improvements.
Previously, the size of the Portable Space was 2000×4000×4000. After two days of development, it had now increased to 4000×6000×6000. Most importantly, Lin Mo could genuinely feel that as he continued to develop the space, its stability was noticeably higher than before. This also confirmed that his previous ideas were correct. As long as he continued to develop this skill, the spatial strength of the Portable Space would increase accordingly, eventually reaching a point where an average Legendary-level expert couldn't break it.
This undoubtedly boosted Lin Mo's motivation significantly. He seized every moment, continuing to invest his energy into it.
Soon, he would be entering the SS-ranked Secret Realm that the Association had mentioned. If everything went as expected and it was just an SS-ranked Secret Realm, then the magical creatures inside shouldn't pose much of a threat to Lin Mo at his current level. But the problem was, was it truly confirmed to be an SS-ranked Secret Realm?
On this point, even the Association couldn't make a definitive judgment.
When the Vice Chairman had introduced it earlier, he had used the phrase, "based on the current situation to infer."
That is to say, what could be confirmed about this Secret Realm was that it was at least SS-ranked, but that didn't necessarily mean it was only SS-ranked.
Lin Mo had a vague premonition that this trip to the Secret Realm wouldn't be simple or smooth.
He had to be prepared to face opponents stronger than those at the Peak of the Heroic Realm—in other words, magical creatures approaching, or even having reached, the Legendary Realm.
As for his previous speculation... the guess about the Ice Dragon King's daughter...
To be honest, after calming down and thinking it over, the possibility didn't seem very high.
Ah, forget it. He'd think about these things when the time came.
Shaking his head, his rest time over, Lin Mo closed his eyes again, sinking his consciousness into the Portable Space to continue its development.
It was worth mentioning that the [Spatial Creation] skill was now getting very close to Level 9, which was the maximum level for an Epic-Level skill.
But this also meant that Lin Mo had to temporarily stop developing this skill.
The reason was simple. His current Base Mana Attribute had already reached a value teetering on the verge of breaking through to the Heroic Realm. If the Spatial Creation skill were to complete its evolution, he would gain base mana attributes, and both his Mage and Priest classes would also advance to the Heroic Realm.
That would be... rather bad.
So, he had to stop there for now.
This made Lin Mo, who had been getting a bit addicted to "farming," feel somewhat frustrated. But there was no helping it. Compared to a single skill, something as important as breaking through to the Heroic Realm took priority.
When he broke through to the Transcendent Level before, choosing to promote all classes simultaneously had indeed been effective, granting him a new profession. This time, Lin Mo naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity.
Who knew? Maybe he'd get another special profession?
The bonuses from every special profession were considerable, and they became increasingly so.
Previously, the attribute enhancement provided by the Level 1 Spellsword wasn't all that exaggerated. But the second time, when he promoted it last time, the attributes granted by the Level 2 special profession were already very impressive.
So what about this time?
Soon, when he officially promoted to the Heroic Realm, how many attributes would his Level 3 special profession provide?
Lin Mo was already looking forward to it.
Soon. It would be soon…
During the journey into the Snowfield Secret Realm, he would surely successfully promote to the Heroic Realm. By then, Lin Mo's true strength would probably be close to the Legendary Realm.
Actually, to be honest, by that point, Lin Mo's attributes might not be much weaker than a freshly advanced Legendary-level expert's. They could very well be very close, or even on par.
But there was still a considerable gap between his actual combat strength and a true Legendary Realm expert…
Yes, the gap lay in the domain.
This ability, unique to Legendary-level experts, was simply too powerful in battle.
This kind of difference was hard to describe with mere numbers. If two Legendary-level experts fought, the clash of their domains might depend on the quality and quantity of their energy. But the difference between having a domain and not having one was very difficult to overcome, even with much higher stats.
Unless his stats were truly overwhelming, but reaching that level of attributes would likely be very difficult for Lin Mo.
Not unless his level was close to the Legendary Realm, but that was clearly a long way off.
In short, based on Lin Mo's current speculation, if a fight were to break out between him and a Legendary-level expert at that point, it would most likely end in a stalemate, with neither able to do anything to the other…
He might be able to gain the upper hand, but defeating his opponent would be very difficult.
Of course, this wasn't set in stone.
After all, a domain was essentially just a special, unique exclusive skill that was different for everyone.
Even though this skill's mechanics were extremely powerful, and it could almost only be countered by an equal domain, that didn't mean it was absolute.
Some particularly powerful or uniquely effective skills might very well be able to contend with a domain, or even break through it.
For example… Time and Space skills.
It was just that the Time and Space skills Lin Mo currently possessed weren't strong enough. To contend with a domain, he would need more powerful Time and Space skills.
"Master."
Sherfilia suddenly pushed open the door, bringing a message: "The Elven race has finished their cleanup. The situation at the Elven Royal Court has stabilized. At the same time, regarding the Genius Gathering held earlier, all statistics and information have been confirmed. The Elven Queen has arrived at the Imperial Capital with Princess Vericia. They will announce the results this evening and distribute the rewards."
Finally here?
Lin Mo's spirits lifted immediately, casting aside his earlier scattered thoughts.
He was very much looking forward to the Elven race's rewards.
After all… the first prize was becoming the Elven race's Honorary Prince, Princess Vericia's husband.
And besides that, there was at least another major reward, something comparable…
A Legendary-Level piece of equipment!
