Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 577 Primordial Life Law, Perpetual Motion Machine?

In the following time, Chen Yuan optimized "World Life Form" and "Calamity of Annihilation" respectively, which consumed energy worth 200 million cosmic sands. In other words, the optimization task at the peak of the first level of God King was worth 100 million cosmic sands.

"The progress from the Chaos Realm to the God King Realm is actually so significant."

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised, knowing that even the optimization at the peak of Chaos only consumed 100 billion Sources of the Great Dao, equivalent to 1,000 Universe Sands.

From one thousand to one hundred million, the consumption increased by a full ten thousand times!

"No, I optimized the peak level of the first level of the God King quest, not the bottom line of the God King quest."

With a sudden thought, he randomly selected an ordinary inheritance to optimize. He only optimized it to the initial stage of the first realm, and found that the energy consumed had become ten million cosmic sands.

In other words, the starting price for a God-King level mission is equivalent to ten thousand times that of a Chaos Realm mission.

"But—this is only the first level of the mission."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly. If he was right, the optimization tasks for the next two realms and the ultimate realm would require even more resources.

As expected, after numerous experiments, he finally figured out the optimized resource consumption for God-King level missions, and even thoroughly tested the God-Emperor level missions.

The optimization cost for the first level of God King Realm is 1000 million to 1 million cosmic sands.

二重境消耗：1亿宇宙沙~10亿宇宙沙究极境消耗：100亿宇宙沙~1000亿宇宙沙（1浑源单位）

It is quite obvious that the energy consumption for the mission from the first to the second level of the God King realm did not show a significant increase. Only when reaching the ultimate realm did the energy consumption increase tenfold compared to the peak of the second level.

"No wonder there are so few Ultimate Realm cultivators. You can't find many Ultimate Realm cultivators with normal comprehension in the entire Origin Continent. Most of them have only reached the combat power of the Ultimate Realm."

Chen Yuan let out a soft breath, then a hint of worry appeared on his face: "But—compared to God Emperor-level missions, the scope of God King-level missions is relatively good."

His current optimization limit is the mid-stage of God Emperor, so he just tested the consumption of this part of the task, and the result shocked him.

Because the initial optimization consumption of the God Emperor reached 100 Chaos Origin Units, while the consumption in the middle stage of the God Emperor reached 1 Chaos Origin Units!

"Although the optimization of the late-stage and perfect God Emperor has not been tested, based on this pattern, the optimization of the late-stage God Emperor will probably require at least 100 million Chaos Origin units."

"And the God Emperor at the Perfection stage starts at 100 million, with peak missions potentially reaching 1 billion."

One billion Hunyuan units!

It should be noted that at this moment he has already anchored the value of the system's energy; one unit of Hunyuan is equivalent to one Hunyuan crystal in the outside world.

In other words, if he wants to optimize the God Emperor Perfection mission in the future, he will need to spend one billion Chaos Origin Crystals each time!

"hiss"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but gasp: "Now we're completely connected to the outside world. I just wonder if it's easy to make money outside."

He didn't know if it was profitable or not, but he was very clear that even a perfect God Emperor level secret treasure could only sell for a few million Chaos Origin Crystals in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm!

If he wanted to upgrade all his secret treasures to the level of a God Emperor, he could probably buy hundreds of other secret treasures of the same level!

Of course, he has one fundamental difference from other life forms, and that is the Primordial Hand.

He has now cultivated this secret technique to the eighth level, which can convert 100% of God Emperor-level materials into energy. Therefore, as long as Chen Yuan can go outside the cage, his money-making speed will definitely be unmatched by those cultivators.

The thought of the exorbitant optimization costs still gave Chen Yuan a headache, because this was only the God Emperor level, and there were still two more major ranks to come.

At this rate of improvement, it's estimated that even trillions of Hunyuan units might not be enough for a single optimization.

"Forget it, I'll leave this problem to my future self. Hopefully, by then I'll be able to make enough money to cover these expenses."

Chen Yuan shook his head. He wouldn't consider the God Emperor level for the time being. With his energy reserves, optimizing to the God King level would be a piece of cake, even if it was the ultimate God King level.

However, he did not directly optimize the Ultimate Realm Secret Technique, mainly because he had not yet purchased the subsequent chapters, in addition to saving energy.

not to mention----

[Energy Reserve: 33.68 Hunyuan Units]

"My energy reserves are not yet sufficient to squander on God-King level optimizations."

Below the Ultimate Realm, it's manageable. But for any optimization of the Ultimate Realm, Chen Yuan must be extremely cautious. He doesn't intend to optimize any non-perfect-level secret techniques to the God King Ultimate Realm.

Yes, whether it's the superior inheritance "The Calamity of Annihilation" or the special inheritance "World Life Form", he can only optimize it to the second level of God King at most.

In any case, by then, his willpower will definitely be comparable to that of a God Emperor, meeting the requirements of any perfect inheritance.

Since it's all about cultivation, he naturally wants to choose the best.

"However, equipment is also a crucial part of improving my strength, and it's indispensable in this regard."

Anyway, the optimization of secret treasures needs to be done step by step, and there is no way to reach the sky in one step. Chen Yuan temporarily put his set of Chaos Peak-level secret treasures into the optimization column and optimize them to the second level of God King first.

After doing all that, Chen Yuan turned his gaze to a certain spot on the panel, which had been flashing continuously since earlier.

The Primordial Key!

"The fourth chapter of the Primordial Law of Life, representing the stage of the Eternal God —"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "I'm afraid even the system didn't expect that I would directly skip the Eternal True God realm and become the Chaos Ruler in one step."

With a thought, he lightly tapped the Primordial Key, and a torrent of information flooded into his mind.

The sheer volume of information was enough to crash the minds of even a true god-level intelligent life form, but for Chen Yuan, who had cultivated his Primordial Brain to the fifth level, it only took him a few seconds to easily digest this torrent of information.

Then, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "The effect of the fourth chapter of the Primordial Life Law is actually the Primordial Heart!"

That's the name of this chapter.

This secret technique is very special. Unlike the previous three chapters, which have effects that can be applied to Chen Yuan himself, this secret technique is entirely applied to the system!

Its effect is singular: to become the heart of the system and continuously drive its evolution!

Just as a person can grow freely if they have the will, the same applies to a system.

When a rigid system is given a heart, it comes alive and can grow autonomously like a person, instead of rigidly adhering to its original limits and remaining unchanged for eternity.

"I didn't expect that the problem I was just worried about would be solved so quickly. Could it be that the existence of the system that gave me this system foresaw this all along?"

Regardless, Chen Yuan is overjoyed because, according to the information he obtained from the secret method, as long as he continues to cultivate the Primordial Heart, the system will undergo a comprehensive evolution.

As long as the system is strong enough, the two problems he was worried about earlier—the ever-decreasing optimization limit and the increasingly heavy energy consumption—can be solved!

"According to the secret method, as long as I advance the Primordial Heart to the seventh level, representing the God Emperor, then the system can break through the limits of its shackles and advance its essence to the semi-primordial level," which is the God Emperor's perfection!

"Upon advancing to the eighth level, the system's essence can be elevated to 'World-Class Peak of Chaos Origin'!"

"In this way, as long as the Primordial Heart reaches the threshold of a certain realm, the essence of the system will directly soar to the peak of that realm."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed. As long as the system's essence was strong enough, its optimization costs would continue to decrease, and eventually even be optimized with zero costs!

Because in addition to energy reserves, the system now has another energy source—the heart!

For some less strenuous tasks, the heart can recover naturally on its own, without requiring any additional functions.

Of course, for those extremely demanding tasks, the system still needs external support. After all, even real living beings need to be fed before they can do any work.

However, cultivating the Primordial Heart can reduce the system's energy consumption, which means reducing resource consumption.

According to the secret method, if you optimize it to be one level lower than the level of the Primordial Heart, you will reduce energy consumption by 90%. If you optimize it to be two levels lower, you can directly perform tasks without energy consumption!

For example, if Chen Yuan cultivates the Primordial Heart to the seventh level, comparable to a God Emperor, then any God King-level optimization he performs will only require 10% of the energy.

If one cultivates to the eighth level, then the God-King level optimization will not consume any energy at all.

"Wait, does that mean I can step on my right foot with my left?"

Chen Yuan suddenly thought of the Primordial Hand. If he could optimize it without any cost through the Primordial Heart and then have the Primordial Hand decompose it, wouldn't he be able to produce as much energy as he wanted?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow hard: "If that were really possible, why would I need to save any energy? I could become a perpetual motion machine myself!"

So the question is, how do we improve the Primordial Heart?
