Chapter 28

Du Nan, upon hearing this, felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

If I can fuse with the Thunder Core, will I no longer have to live in secrecy? Unlucky guy, listen carefully. You might not believe it, but you'll understand after you try. After fusing with the Thunder Core, it will become the foundation of your body. Moreover, it will awaken the four great elemental powers: wind, fire, water, and earth. Got it, unlucky guy? This means you can possess 'two elemental powers.' The Thunder Core will conceal the Thunder Power, and you can still fuse with one of the four elemental powers—wind, fire, water, or earth. Hahaha...

As the Thunder Emperor laughed maniacally, Du Nan felt a slight movement of ice power in his body, and his heart was stirred.

Very funny, right? The four revolutionary clans have always insisted that one person cannot fuse with two elemental powers, but... hahaha, the Thunder Core has this miraculous effect, hahaha. Unlucky guy, listen up. If you want to live well, you must fuse with one of the elemental powers. You can only choose one, as the four elemental powers cannot coexist in one body. With a new power, I suggest you infiltrate the revolutionary clans. Although they are still a group of rebels, I see potential in them. One day, they will gain dominance.

The four elemental powers?

Is he talking about the four royal families? Could it be that during the Thunder Emperor's time, the four royal families that ruled the entire starry sky were merely revolutionary forces?

Then, who ruled the starry sky during the Thunder Emperor's time?

"There's a rumor you should hear, though I don't know if it's true. According to the rumor, the four revolutionary clans are searching for the 'Four Origin Cores.' They don't believe that Thunder Power has an origin core, but they do believe that the four elemental powers do. They are called the 'Vacuum Core,' 'Primordial Water Core,' 'Heavenly Fire Core,' and 'Star Core.' I don't know if it's true, and it might just be propaganda from the revolutionary clans. If they do exist, they should have the same transformative effect as the Thunder Core. If you can find one, you can fuse with a new elemental power... hahaha, one person with three elemental powers... hahaha..."

From the tone of the Thunder Emperor, he didn't believe that the four elemental powers had origin cores. In his mind, Thunder Power was the strongest, and only it deserved to have an origin core, a special existence... the four elemental powers, go play somewhere else.

Du Nan's heart became clearer upon hearing this.

The Zero-Star Core, it turns out, is a 'foundation' type of thing.

It either hides deeply or becomes the foundation... in any case, once you fuse with a Zero-Star Core, this power will lie dormant in your body. For example, if I fuse with a water elemental power, the Thunder and Water powers don't conflict. The Thunder Power hides, and the Water Power becomes the surface manifestation of my body. They don't know about each other, so there's no rejection.

According to the Thunder Emperor,

If I can find the 'Primordial Water Core,' the water elemental power can also be hidden. I can then fuse with a third elemental power without worrying about rejection. In that case, the Origin Core is the best core.

"Hahaha. Done laughing? Let's get serious. As an old-timer, I'll leave something for you, unlucky guy... oh, I forgot to tell you something good. If you can fuse with an Origin Core, there's another special benefit. Normally, you must advance one star at a time. Like you, an unlucky guy... you probably only fused with a one-star core, right? Then, you need to fuse with a two-star core, then a three-star core... you'll understand as you go, but let me explain: if you can fuse with an Origin Core, you're lucky. You don't have to advance step by step. Even if you have a nine-star core, you can fuse with it immediately."

Upon hearing this, Du Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew about the order of advancement from one star to two stars, and from two stars to three stars.

Earlier,

I suddenly fused with a Thunder Core of at least five stars, and Du Nan was worried for a long time, thinking there was something wrong with his body. Now, after hearing the Thunder Emperor's explanation, he understood that it was due to fusing with the Zero-Star Thunder Core.

"Don't get too excited yet. With your weak power, only one-star Thunder Power, if you really fuse with a nine-star core, you'll definitely overcapacity and die. Even if you're lucky, you might end up with a disability or a missing limb. I'm warning you, the Origin Core has this miraculous effect, but don't take too big a step... hehe, excited, right? Hahaha, you can want it, but you have to find it first, see if you can resist the temptation."

The Thunder Emperor teased, and Du Nan was speechless, thinking this guy must have found the Thunder Core but didn't find the Origin Core.

Now he's just deliberately annoying others.

"I forgot two things. If you really find an Origin Core, don't forget to collect more Thunder Seeds. Besides unlimited fusion, they have another benefit: no matter how poor your talent, as long as you have Thunder Seeds, you can definitely fuse successfully. If your talent is too poor, it might take longer, but don't give up, it will definitely succeed. Second, even if you fuse with a nine-star core, you won't miss out on seven-star or five-star cores. Lower-level cores won't greatly increase your power, but they have new and unique abilities. For example, the Thunder Sound Core and Thunder Fire Core are both five-star cores. If you fuse with both, you'll definitely have two elemental abilities."

Upon hearing this, Du Nan fell into deep thought.

The cultivation of the four elemental powers has many restrictions. First, there are no training methods, and you can only improve through practical combat. Second, you must advance step by step. From one to two, from two to three, each level cannot be skipped. Third, you cannot fuse with the same star-level source core repeatedly. For example, if I fuse with a Pure Water Core, I cannot fuse with a one-star Slow Flow Core or a Water Pattern Core; I must fuse with a two-star Rapid Flow Core or a Turbulent Wave Core to reach the two-star Bronze stage.

After fusing with a two-star core,

You cannot fuse with another two-star core; you must fuse with a three-star core.

"One Origin Core breaks all the rules. Unlimited constitution, universal fusion... is this what 'freedom' means?" Du Nan thought about his fusion, which meant: in the future, if I find a Thunder source core, I can fuse with it without any problems? And the Thunder Emperor said it would never fail. This foundation is... too good.

Unfortunately,

It's still a dangerous item.

"I said I'd leave you something good." The Thunder Emperor continued his final words, transmitting some star maps: "These are the maps of the Thunder Seeds I privately collected. Whether anyone has found and taken them is up to your luck. I left them, but whether you can find them depends on your fate. The number isn't large, maybe a dozen or so, you'll have to make do... but before that, you need to find the Origin Core, hahaha... I can imagine your frustration, unlucky guy, life isn't that easy."

Du Nan received the map and locked the viewing permissions to the 'Wind Walker' account.

To the Thunder Emperor... you can keep laughing, I'll just listen without speaking. I already ate the Thunder Core. You're just a dead man, a dead man trying to trick a living person, how ridiculous.

I'll take these maps for now.

"The other maps are of some mechs, all of which I personally crafted. Don't misuse them if you find them; they are very precious. Breaking them would waste my efforts. Use them when your strength improves, otherwise, it would be a waste of my craftsmanship."

The Thunder Emperor transmitted some mech data.

Moreover, he transmitted some related technical data: "Hahaha, unlucky guy, you probably can't understand. Those who can cultivate elemental powers are usually illiterate. My advanced technical data, you won't understand. I'll let you see it now, just to make you angry, for not studying earlier, hahaha... don't sell this technology, or I can't guarantee your safety. Someone might use this technology to find clues about Thunder Power, so think about the consequences."

Downloading...

Du Nan twitched his ears and gave a light mocking expression to the Thunder Emperor, silently thanking him.

He casually thought: Sorry, Thunder Emperor, you like to trick people and want to anger this academic genius... you're still a few miles short. I can understand these technical data, although it will take some time to figure out. With enough materials, recreating these ancient mechs won't be too difficult.

"Last thing, no, two things." The Thunder Emperor continued in a proud and teasing tone: "Unlucky guy, have you heard of the Star Body Cultivation Technique? Practice it, go practice it, and don't give up. Even if you have other elemental powers, don't stop practicing. There's something called a Divine Artifact Fragment. After absorbing it, you'll understand why you need to practice the Star Body Cultivation Technique. These fragments are usually in nine pieces, and they are universal. Once you collect and absorb all nine pieces... ta-da... I won't tell you what they do, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Du Nan clenched his fists.

If the Thunder Emperor were in front of him, he would definitely give him a good punch: Damn it, bastard, this is what I wanted to hear the most.

"Hahaha. Alright, alright, you'll know what the Divine Artifact Fragments do when you find them, I won't say more. The last thing is: I left other messages, but the settings are high. You need to reach the seven, eight, or nine-star stage to receive them. Practice well, no, first, stay alive, unlucky guy. If you have the chance to advance, come to the Magic Network to receive my real final message. By the way, the Magic Network is absolutely safe. Practice Thunder Power there. Don't fight real people, or it will be discovered. Yes, that's it, unlucky guy, if you can reach the seven-star stage, I'll play with you again."
