Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 288: Chapter 194: Rebirth Teardrop, New Members Joining._1

As an emerging civilization, Planet Blue Star’s civilization was in its infancy.

Not only were there a lack of various material modules, but the development of technology was also quite deformed.

High rank mecha pilots could traverse the Void, crossing distances of several light-years, to establish private bases on exoplanets, and were even capable of single-handedly destroying a star.

Ordinary people couldn’t easily travel to the moon.

Thus, the knowledge modules that the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchants brought were also extremely precious to the civilization of Planet Blue Star.

Knowledge on the side of technology could enable Planet Blue Star to quickly step out of its home planet and stride towards a Galaxy Level civilization.

Knowledge on the side of magic could grant ordinary people power comparable to deities, and it played an important role in many aspects of reality as well.

Martial Arts Way, supernatural entities, anomalies, and even immortal cultivation…

Any piece of universal knowledge contained immensely vast branches and information that could serve as the backbone of a lower-level civilization or even affect the entire structure of a civilization.

Of course, this knowledge was not unrelated—

It was the knowledge and heritage gradually merged and derived by ancient civilizations based on the heritage of many abyss civilizations.

They naturally shared commonalities with the abyss.

Whether it was magic, Martial Arts Way, or immortal cultivation, anomalies,

The materials for cultivation, and device materials used, were all various abyss materials, and their foundation was the abyss atmosphere.

Their respective practices could potentially be integrated to form unique heritages.

Even Shida admitted.

“My Lord, this universal knowledge is just basic knowledge in the abyss.”

“Every ancient civilization… even the three level 8 civilizations in the Purgatory level, all possess their unique knowledge and systems.”

“If our Planet Blue Star civilization wants to develop further in the future…”

“It’s best to also find a unique path and create our own system.”

A system unique to Planet Blue Star?

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

“I understand.”

“However, Planet Blue Star’s current starting point is indeed too low.”

“We need to digest this universal knowledge before considering our own system.”

Taking into account the current digesting capability of Planet Blue Star,

Jiang Chen selected knowledge in four main categories: [Technology], [Martial Arts], [Supernatural Ability], and [Magic],

which corresponded to the four knowledge heritages that Planet Blue Star currently possessed. This was akin to an upgrade iteration.

At this point,

Jiang Chen’s buying spree was basically over.

Although the list of goods from Shida included a third category, [Special], which contained miracle resources…

Just like the qualifications for rebirth, these miracle resources had only a name; the repository did not actually contain the stock.

For actual transactions, they had to be requested from the Rebirth Civilization.

Having exchanged Planet Blue Star’s promissory notes for five rebirth qualifications, Jiang Chen was not particularly greedy for more.

It wasn’t too late to consider trading these truly precious resources when Planet Blue Star had constructed its own Civilization Wonder, capable of producing miracle resources on its own.

Through Abyss Rune trading,

the massive amount of resources quickly flowed into Jiang Chen’s repository—

In the process, Shida also brought in some special tools to expand the size of Jiang Chen’s Abyss Rune Repository to prevent it from bursting due to overcapacity.

After the trade was completed, Jiang Chen waited for a moment longer.

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant sent by the Rebirth Civilization to replace Shida finally arrived.

He brought with him the miraculous resource Jiang Chen needed.

[Rebirth Teardrop]

[Quality: Miraculous]

[Type: Item]

[Effect: Upon use, immediately enters a state of death, leaving only a trace of the true spirit. (After death, all things such as Abyss Runes, traits, Mecha, etc., will be automatically washed away; under the protection of the Rebirth Teardrop, memories remain undamaged, true spirit intact.)]

When the true spirit is infused into a new body, the true spirit’s resurrection can be completed, reawakening the Abyss Rune. (Since the true spirit remains the same, the nature of the talent does not change, the strength will vary according to the Civilization Potential.)]

[Description: Eternal true spirit, nine transformations to immortality.]

“My Lord, this is the rebirth qualification that was put together by consuming vast amounts of resources,” Shida said.

“However, I’m currently still a member of the Rebirth Civilization. As long as I’m submerged in the Rebirth Pool, I will automatically cleanse the mortal body, leaving only the true spirit…”

“I don’t need to expend such precious resources.”

“Please wait a moment longer and return with my true spirit.”

Jiang Chen readily agreed and watched Shida detach from the luminous giant and leave the Purgatory level.

After a while, another luminous being hurried over and traded Jiang Chen another item.

[True Spirit Teardrop]

[Type: Special]

[Description: Contains the true spirit of a mecha pilot, which, once infused into a new body, will immediately be reborn.]

Is this the process of rebirth?

Only a trace of the true spirit remains, turning into a pearl.

It’s quite vulnerable to manipulation.

However, upon close consideration, transitioning from a powerful mecha pilot to a helpless child really wasn’t much different than turning into a pearl.

“Let’s help him complete the rebirth first…”

Jiang Chen cast aside his complicated thoughts and directly left the Purgatory level.

…

On Planet Blue Star, at the Star Base,

Since Jiang Chen had invited Shida to join Planet Blue Star’s civilization, he naturally prioritized this matter.

After returning to Planet Blue Star, he immediately took out the materials he had just obtained and referenced the blueprints in his mind to try to build rebirth equipment—

[Life Cultivator]

This was one of the pieces of knowledge and items gifted by the Rebirth Civilization.

It was able to cultivate a fully developed, soulless new body in a relatively short time for the reborn individual to inhabit.

However, the equipment provided by the Rebirth Civilization was only rudimentary.

Jiang Chen had to adjust the cultivator appropriately, in line with Planet Blue Star’s conditions and the local human genes.

Only by doing this could he create a body suitable for a Planet Blue Star native.

The technical principles were explained meticulously, making them not difficult to digest.

With Jiang Chen’s computational power, he quickly absorbed all this knowledge and created a rudimentary Life Cultivator.

Next, a genetic sequence was needed as the seed of life.

If it was an internal rebirth for Blue Star natives, they could use their own genetic sequences.

Shida was an outsider, so naturally, this approach was not possible.

Jiang Chen did not plan on using his own genetic sequence either…

Having absorbed so much Mecha power, his genes had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even just a fragment of his genes, the super ability gene serum crafted from it, was not something an ordinary person could easily absorb; it had to be injected in stages.

It was only suitable for later-stage transformation and not for use as the seed of life.

Therefore, after pondering,

Jiang Chen gave Li Xiao a call, asking him if he wanted a child, and brought back some cells.

“This is the gene sequence of the number one person on Planet Blue Star.”

“I’ve treated you quite well.”

With the seed of life, he then placed a True Spirit Teardrop within.

The Life Force Incubator finally started to operate.

Cells, embryo, toddler…

A new body was rapidly growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Just a few minutes later, a teenager with black hair appeared in the nutrient solution of the incubator.

An inky pattern of an eye silently emerged on the teenager’s shoulder.

Almost at the instant the Abyss Rune was born, he also opened his eyes.

The incubator reached its time limit, the liquid was drained, the teenager fell, and the outer shell opened.

He stepped out, respectfully bowing.

“Shida has seen the master.”

Jiang Chen handed him a piece of clothing, his gaze sweeping over Shida’s face, somewhat curious.

“The seed of life I provided comes from boss Li Xiao, with an identical gene sequence…”

“According to reason, you should be considered his clone.”

“Why does your appearance differ so much from his when he was young?”

“…Appearance stems from the heart.”

Shida, now dressed, began to explain.

“As for the gene sequence of the life seed, it will undergo slight changes with the divine spirit of the reincarnation.”

“Regardless of whose gene sequence is used, the appearance and gender of the reincarnated remain the same as before reincarnation.”

Rebirth doesn’t change appearance, nor does it alter the essence of talent, and it allows for swift awakening of the Abyss Rune…

It’s essentially like restarting with a clean slate.

Jiang Chen marveled inwardly and asked,

“What about your talent, how is it now?”

“…It should have weakened.”

Shida said.

“The Rebirth Civilization has immense potential, and being a member of the civilization, my talent was also greatly enhanced.”

“Now that I’m on Planet Blue Star, without the enhancement of Civilization Potential, my mecha pilot talent will certainly weaken significantly…”

Since Shida had agreed to come to Planet Blue Star Civilization, he was naturally prepared for the weakening.

As he spoke, he touched the Abyss Rune and looked at his personal information.

“My current talent strength has only about a hundredfold left over…”

Shida stopped mid-sentence.

He stared at the personal interface, disbelievingly saying,

“Wait, a hundredfold??”

Although a hundredfold talent enhancement still could not match his talent strength in the Rebirth Civilization,

Planet Blue Star Civilization was just a Level 3 fledgling civilization!

By comparison, one would know-

Ying Tian, the divine prodigy as a Divine Lord Civilization’s hope candidate, had a talent strength enhancement of around eightyfold.

A hope candidate from a Level 8 Civilization had a talent weaker than his from a Level 3 Civilization mecha pilot?

“Don’t be so surprised, take a look at the Civilization Trait.”

Upon hearing this, Shida confusedly switched interfaces to check the Civilization Trait.

After seeing the [Protector] trait effect, he suddenly realized.

It was just a temporary enhancement.

That made more sense—

Although a fivefold temporary enhancement was extremely exaggerated, its narrow scope of effect balanced out the actual strength.

Now, with Jiang Chen’s talent being so strong, creating a gap with the entire civilization, it seemed very impressive.

However, if the development reached the level of a Rebirth Civilization,

The pace of civilization’s progress gradually stalling, and a new generation rising,

At that point, this kind of Civilization Trait could only offer a little growth speed, its effect almost nonexistent.

“However, what Planet Blue Star Civilization lacks now is the growth speed.”

“By using the Protector trait to enhance the members’ strength, combined with the construction of wonders…”

“When the future arrives and the Protector trait is no longer effective, the many wonders that the civilization possesses should be enough to offset the loss of one trait.”

Shida was quite delighted.

Having moved over, discovering the potential of Planet Blue Star better than he had anticipated, he was naturally very pleased.

“Without the Protector trait, my base talent strength is around twentyfold.”

“The current Civilization Potential of Planet Blue Star is 180, which also provides a significant boost to my talent…”

“…Not bad.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

The Rebirth Civilization had recruited many geniuses; it wouldn’t miss one more.

But on Planet Blue Star, with Shida’s talent, he was able to be the genius second only to boss Li Xiao.

He could be considered an SSR indeed.

However…

“Although I promised you, to let you become a hope candidate,”

“Right now, the hope candidate positions of Planet Blue Star are already full.”

“It will be some time before, waiting until Planet Blue Star Civilization advances to Level 4 Authority, you can become a hope candidate.”

“No problem!”

Shida replied briskly.

“The hope trial can increase Civilization Potential.”

“In that case, I’ll just pass the basic trial first, and wait for the promotion after becoming a hope candidate.”

“Hmm… Our civilization is currently constructing wonders, right?”

“I have studied the history related to the construction of wonders in the Rebirth Civilization, and I am familiar with this area of knowledge.”

“I can be of a little help.”

“If you, my lord, have any questions, you can also come to me for inquiries!”

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, Planet Blue Star already had him and boss Li Xiao, so one more slightly weaker genius wouldn’t make a big impact.

However, aside from his own talent, Shida’s most extraordinary aspect was in [Knowledge].

Even if he wasn’t a core member of the Rebirth Civilization, the amount of information he held far surpassed many civilizations’ figures of hope.

Moreover, he had served as an Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant for many years, had experienced numerous abyss levels, and had exceptional insights.

It perfectly compensated for Planet Blue Star’s lack of information.

“Later, I’ll take you to see boss Li Xiao.”

“You’ll first stay by his side, assisting him in building the Planet Blue Star Civilization.”
