Chapter 1014 – 96% Fusion Rate

System: Congratulations! Your Concentration has reached the Tier 7 standard. Rewarding Level +1 and 100 Free Legacy Skill Points.

Following the system notification, a purple-gold light enveloped Shi Feng as his level increased from 239 to 240.

However, this supposedly monumental achievement did not draw Shi Feng’s attention, as he focused entirely on his mental state.

Are these the benefits of having Tier 7 Concentration?

Shi Feng had difficulty believing the changes brought about by the improvement of his Concentration.

His perception range increasing from 1,000 yards to 100,000 yards in the Primordial Abyssal God’s Promotion Land was only the tip of the iceberg. Compared to the improvements to his control over mana, the improvement to his perception was insignificant.

With a flick of his wrist, Shi Feng controlled the mana within a 100,000-yard radius as if it were an extension of himself, creating seven mana vortices in the blink of an eye. Each of these mana vortices gathered one of the seven magic elements—earth, water, wind, fire, time, illusion, and space—as they orbited him, eventually forming seven independent Law Projections.

With another flick of his wrist, Shi Feng merged all seven magic elements to create a Miniature Abyssal World that covered a 100,000-yard radius. Immediately, all the Chaos Creatures drawn by his fight with the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon and caught within his Miniature Abyssal World were heavily suppressed, their Basic Attributes reduced by 50% or more.

No wonder Enos can promise to double my chances of getting promoted. With such incredible mana control, I can probably create a World from scratch if given enough time, let alone replicate a Chaos Creature’s World. When Shi Feng saw how effortlessly he had constructed the Miniature Abyssal World, he suddenly understood why Enos had placed so much faith in the Abyssal Fruit.

Even the difference between Tier 7 Concentration and Pseudo-Tier 7 Concentration was utterly staggering, let alone between Tier 7 Concentration and Tier 6 Limit Concentration. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were entirely different things.

If he still needed to use his hands before to manipulate magic elements, those magic elements were now his hands; he could move them with just a thought.

With such incredible mana control, he could have these magic elements reproduce World Laws as easily as having his body perform various actions. Compared to before, when it felt like he was manipulating a puppet with strings, the difficulty was drastically lower.

After Shi Feng familiarized himself with his improved Concentration, he promptly accepted the World Structure of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World.

This place is too close to the core area. I should find a safer place to study the World Structure. When Shi Feng sensed over a dozen Chaos Creatures within 100,000 yards of him, he promptly traveled to the Promotion Land’s outer area with the War Goddesses and Kalisha’s phantom.

With Kalisha’s phantom dealing with the Chaos Creatures in their way and the War Goddesses protecting him, Shi Feng arrived at the outer area in less than two hours. Then, he found a safe location and studied the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World.

As expected of an Advanced World. Its complexity is truly astounding. If my Concentration hadn’t reached the Tier 7 standard, I might not be able to replicate even 30% of it in a year.

After spending half an hour accepting all the information recorded in the Taboo Nucleus, Shi Feng better understood how difficult it was to reach Tier 7.

Although he had known that constructing a World would be difficult, only after seeing the World Structure of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World did he understand why he had never heard of any player from the human race’s Greater God’s Domain successfully advancing to Tier 7.

The Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World comprised 1,000 Basic Laws and 36 Advanced Laws centered around the Law of Destruction. These World Laws intertwined and operated around one another, and only when all of them were positioned correctly could they form a complete World.

In the human race’s Greater God’s Domain, most Tier 6 players would be fortunate if they could even replicate a Basic Law and get it to function properly. As for experts among Tier 6 players, they struggled to even get an Advanced Law to function properly.

Yet, to construct a World, players needed to simultaneously operate over a thousand World Laws, some of which were Advanced Laws. Even Mortal Gods capable of Manifold Execution would likely find it impossible to accomplish such a feat.

Although the difficulty is high, I should be able to replicate the Advanced World with my Tier 7 Concentration. The only problem now is modifying it.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Feng began his first attempt at replicating the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World.

The real challenge in constructing a World was establishing a functioning framework of World Laws, also known as a World Structure. In a situation where he already had a functioning World Structure, he could simply copy it as if copying a magic array and skip this challenging step entirely.

As Shi Feng expected, his Tier 7 Concentration allowed him to fully reconstruct the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World in under three hours. It even operated normally, albeit with some minor problems here and there.

System: Congratulations! Your replicated Advanced World has achieved a 45% Fusion Rate.

System: Congratulations! Your replicated Advanced World has achieved a 46% Fusion Rate.

System: Congratulations! Your replicated Advanced World has achieved a 61% Fusion Rate.

As Shi Feng ironed out the problems in the Advanced World’s operations, the Advanced World’s Fusion Rate also increased. Finally, 28 hours after Shi Feng accepted the World Structure of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World, he achieved a 69% Fusion Rate. He was just 1% short of meeting the requirement to advance to Tier 7.

Sure enough, the system won’t let me achieve a 70% Fusion Rate simply by making a perfect copy. Shi Feng frowned when he saw no more imperfections in the Advanced World he had constructed within his Divine Body.

With his Tier 7 Concentration, perfectly replicating the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World was simple. Even so, this simple task had taken him over 20 hours to complete. As there were only 48 hours in one natural day in God’s Domain, he had just 20 hours to modify the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World and increase its compatibility with him…

The Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World had 1,000 Basic Laws that could be altered in various ways. Even if he made only one modification to each of these Basic Laws, he would end up with a thousand different combinations. If he were to try every possible combination, it could take him years to find the right one.

With the time I have left, going down the less volatile route of modifying Basic Laws is out of the question. If I want to increase the compatibility of this Advanced World quickly, modifying its Advanced Laws that serve as its core should be the way to go. After mentally glancing at the miniature world he had created within his Divine Body, Shi Feng gritted his teeth and decided to modify the Advanced World’s Advanced Laws.

On his first attempt, Shi Feng modified the position of only one Advanced Law. Nonetheless, the change had destabilized the World Structure so much that the Advanced World collapsed on the spot…

However, after his first failed attempt, Shi Feng quickly reconstructed the Advanced World and modified a different Advanced Law, having no intentions of stopping.

Unfortunately, his second attempt still failed.

Third attempt…

Fourth attempt…

Nearly 20 hours and 4,345 attempts later, Shi Feng sat on the ground with a pale complexion and sweat pouring down his head.

Of the thousands of attempts I’ve tried, only two didn’t fail catastrophically. Moreover, neither of these successful attempts achieved anything close to a 70% Fusion Rate. Have I mistaken my approach this whole time? Shi Feng grew extremely irritated when he saw what little time he had left.

Modifying the Advanced World’s World Structure was much more challenging than he expected. He only succeeded in producing two stable World Structures out of his 4,345 attempts. Furthermore, both successful attempts yielded Fusion Rates so pitiful he nearly cried when he saw them. One yielded a 26% Fusion Rate, while the other yielded a depressing 9%. They were such terrible results that he never even thought of improving them.

Wait, there’s still another way! As Shi Feng stared at the system notification informing him that he had five minutes remaining, an idea he had never considered occurred to him.

The World Structure of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World centered around the Law of Destruction. Because of this, Shi Feng never dared to touch it. After all, it was the most important foundation of the Advanced World.

However, he had already tried modifying the other Advanced Laws and achieved little to no success. Only the Law of Destruction remained untouched. It was also his last opportunity at success.

It’s all or nothing! When Shi Feng saw less than four minutes remaining, he stopped hesitating and tried replacing the Law of Destruction with the Miniature Abyssal World.

The Miniature Abyssal World was a miniature world the Primordial Abyssal God created after much time and research. Serving as the core of this miniature world was the Law of Abyss, an ultimate World Law that surpassed even the Law of Destruction. More specifically, the Law of Destruction was only one part of the Law of Abyss. Hence, the Miniature Abyssal World should be able to replace the Law of Destruction as the core of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World.

As soon as Shi Feng replaced the Law of Destruction, a system notification rang in his ears.

System: Congratulations! Your replicated Advanced World has achieved a 96% Fusion Rate. You have met the requirement for fusion. Do you wish to proceed with the fusion?
