Chapter 709 – Life Origin Essence
Translated by: Berrrybunz
Edited by: TN and DeAndreR
The Golden Steel Gravel was around the size of a piece of gravel in any river. Quietly lying inside the golden weaved bag, it’s dark gray color made it look extremely unremarkable. Tang Tian carefully lifted one up, and used his finger to rub on it, its texture was very strong, stronger than the black iron rocks.
A spark of interest grew.
Normally, any hard object would be heavy, but the Golden Steel Gravel were as light as feathers. He raised theGolden Steel Gravel to eye level and scrutinized it, before he noticed it. The Golden Steel Gravel’s bodies were intruth transparent, but inside it was an extremely tiny grey vortex, making it appear to look gray. What made TangTian feel even more shock was that the tiny grey vortex was actually spinning very slowly.
~Interesting.~
Tang Tian guessed that the Golden Steel Gravel characteristics was most probably because of the tiny grey vortex.He had not grasped the use of the vortex, but as a tyrant who had seen various types of treasures, he could tell thatthe Golden Steel Gravel were not ordinary objects.
“Then I’ll take it.”
Tang Tian kept the golden bag casually.
Xiao Yao heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, she had an uncertain feeling dealing with Tang Tian. His manner ofdoing things was always out of expectation, he was difficult to understand, thus Xiao Yao did not dare assure thatshe could complete the task.
After completing the task, she could return to report to Ming Zhu, and she need not worry about any other things.Whether or not Tang Tian could complete it, would be a reward or punishment, and that Ming Zhu’s decision.
“Then I will head off first, three days later, the people will come to collect the food for the silkworms.” Xiao Yaosmiled at Tang Tian.
“Yes yes yes.” Tang Tian who was fixated on the Golden Steel Gravel no longer cared to reply properly.
After Xiao Yao took the people and left, Tang Tian immediately took the gravel out and started to examine it again.
This time, Tang Tian scrutinized it even further, inside the transparent gravel, the grey vortex rotated very slowly,and occasionally there would be a flicker of silver light.
~To find out what the gray vortex inside is, the simplest method is to break it open!~
Without saying a word, Tang Tian used all of his strength, all of his muscles, putting everything he had to his twofingers and squeezing the Golden Steel Gravel. But no matter what Tang Tian did, it would not even budge.
Tang Tian was shocked, his current strength was extremely powerful, compared to last time, it had multiplied a fewfolds. Even if a silver grade star treasure from Heaven’s Road would be easily broken apart in his hands.
But, even with all of his might, he was helpless against this tiny Golden Steel Gravel.
Tang Tian did not believe it, he tried multiple methods, but he could not even cause a wound in this tiny Golden Steelgravel.
~How do i break it open?~

Tang Tian suddenly realised that he was somewhat unable to do anything.
All of a sudden, his mind shook, he thought of something, Laws!
He instantly thought about Spatial laws, the laws obtained from the Ping Family Stealth techniques, were just onebranch of the many in the spatial laws. But they were hailed as one of the three great laws, even if it was just onebranch, it had extraordinary might.
To Tang Tian, the Ping Family Stealth Technique’s strongest aspect was its ability to split open space. In Heaven’s Road, the only one whom Tang Tian saw could achieve a bit of it was Little Fool when he summoned the Saint Sword Ocean Prison.
Splitting space was an extremely powerful feature.
Tang Tian did not immediately test it out, but sat down and started to plan.
Time slowly crept past, suddenly, Tang Tian who sat as still as a statue moved.
The power of the physique in his body started to move, a strange law thread grew quickly along his fingernail. In theblink of an eye, it was over 30 cm, and started to wave around in the air.
His body suddenly became blurry, his dull eyes resembled the reflection of the stars on a water surface, the lightauras faintly rippling.
This law thread did not have any brilliance at all, it was the Ping Family’s Stealth Technique’s law thread, one of thethreads of the Spatial Laws. Inside the dimension of blurriness, Tang Tian’s eyes erupted with light, his mind fixed onthat particular law thread.
Tang Tian had some admiration towards Ping Xiao Shan’s ancestor, the law thread’s grade was definitely not low,and, its aura was extremely weak, if not for it slipping out from Tang Tian’s finger, he would not have been able tosense it. Even now, as it continued to wriggle on Tang Tian’s fingertip, he still had difficulty completely catching it.On one sense, it was because of its extremely faint aura, and on the other, it was because it could move throughspace. One end of it was stuck on Tang Tian’s fingertip, while the other seemed to be flickering, disappearing andreappearing. Imagine, if it was swimming in the air, with its strange manners, catching it would be extremelydifficult!
But it was a pity, although they had grasped on a powerful law thread, they actually chose a wrong path, and did nottruly expand on the potential of the law thread.
This pity swept past in Tang Tian’s mind for a short moment.
Tang Tian could clearly feel and see the law thread, regardless of how it kept on disappearing and appearing, it wasas black as ink, and thinner than a strand of hair, appearing in the air. Upon appearing, it produced an extremely faintripple with it as a center, resonating outwards.
This ripple made Tang Tian feel an indescribable palpitation, he could clearly feel the space around him rippling.
An unstable space was the most terrifying bomb, an intense sense of danger caused all the hairs on Tang Tian tostand.
~Eh, this method isn’t bad at all!~
Tang Tian became excited, but he did not dare to test it out, Han Bing Ning was still immersed in her meditation inthe darkness, if he startled her, it would be terrible. Furthermore, Tang Tian was not sure what would happen if thespace exploded.

Tang Tian secretly remembered this idea for a future opportunity to test it out.
~But for now, the most important thing to do is to break open this Golden Steel Gravel.~
One Golden Steel Gravel floated in front of him, Tang Tian concentrated with all of his attention to control the lawthread. The pitch black law became extremely straight and like a blade, it cut the Golden Steel Gravel.
The transparent outer shell broke effortlessly.
The black law thread, upon cutting through the shell, attacked the gray vortex.
Bang!
Tang Tian only felt a thunder erupting in his mind, his entire body trembled, a violent power surged through his bodyas though he got hit. That power suddenly scattered within, causing Tang Tian to groan, and blood to drip out fromthe corner of his mouth.
Tang Tian did not even bother about the blood, he was too focused onto his front.
The Law Thread crumbled inch by inch and disappeared, while the gray vortex transformed into a fine and thin mist.Inside the mist, the silver lights flickered continuously, like countless of silver stars rumbling inside the mist. Butafter that, the silver stars in the mist became brighter and brighter, and very quickly, the entire mist hadtransformed into a silver color.
The silver mist was dense and beautiful, but its transformation had not ended, as gold lights started to blossom inthe silver mist. Not long later, the gold lights started flickering in the silver mist, like gold granules being mixed intoit.
This change was so fast and beautiful, it was a feast for Tang Tian’s eyes.
The gold stars and silver mist rose in spirals in the air, like a vast star river body.
The mist emitted a foreign aura and an indescribable sense of elation surged out from Tang Tian’s body. Tang Tianwas startled, it was as though every muscle in his body was crying out in joy.
It was Tang Tian’s first time witnessing such a thing.
~This is…..~
Tang Tian’s mind flashed with a thought, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
~This aura, it is pure vitality force!~
~This is Life Origin Essence!~
Tang Tian’s mouth was wide opened, he stared at the scene in front of him like a foolish man.
Tang Tian’s power of the physique had already reached a bottleneck. The powerful Whirlpool Sword Storm hadrefined his body to an extremely high level, and his Zero Energy Body was by itself extremely powerful. Afterfighting Ben Sen, his complete exhaustion of physical strength resulted in him having a law tempered body, and hisfleshly body had been refined to an unimaginable level.
Just with his tyrannical degree of body strength, even the strongest blood saint was unable to compare to him.
(TN: Blood Saints are the Onyx Soul 3 blood saints of the past that were briefly mentioned)
In terms of training, Tang Tian was having trouble improving, thus he placed all of his attention on laws, when hiscomprehension of laws reached a profound level, it would allow his strength to improve.
But the Life Origin Essence in front of him made Tang Tian see a new light. Life Origin Essence was an immensenourishment to any living being, it could greatly increase the vitality of the body.
Vitality is something that cannot be seen but truly exists. In every living being, the composition of the body would long be stable, all the so called tempering and refinement of the body was to remove the impurities in the body, allowing the person’s physical state to be even stronger, but never able to raise the upper threshold of Vitality.
Given Tang Tian’s body as an example, his muscle strength exceeded that of steel, his bones comparable to star treasures, even his ability to make blood from the bone marrow, his capability of gaining more muscles are much stronger than saints. But such tempering of the body isn’t limitless. His current body had been refined to close to perfection, and it was extremely difficult to improve further, and that was dictated and set the moment he was born. At this step, to want to improve further, he could only rely on Life Origin Essence.
The gray mist inside the Golden Steel Gravel was actually Life Origin Essence!
Breaking open the Golden Steel Gravel, the entire process of the gray mist changing was like a phoenix goingthrough nirvana, it was beautiful and splendid, and brimming with the throbbing of life.
Although the strand of Life Origin Essence was weak, but its value was incomparable. Tang Tian had previouslyplaced his eyes on Laws because compared to enlightenment of laws, raising the vitality was not as feasible.
Life Origin Essence would allow Tang Tian to improve much more substantially than anything else. Tang Tian’s bodyhad already been refined to almost perfection, there were no impurities, and thus he would be able to absorb vitalityvery well.
After regaining his senses, without saying a word, he reached out for the Life Origin Essence.
Sssi!
A warm flow entered Tang Tian’s body, which was like a dried riverbed under a pouring rain, which sucked andabsorbed all the rain cleanly.
Tang Tian closed his eyes and carefully observed the changes to his body. After a moment, he opened his eyes, filledwith a desire to continue. The strand of Life Origin Essence was definitely good stuff, but it was too little. It wasunable to induce a substantial change to his body.
Thinking about the Golden Steel Gravel in the bag, Tang Tian immediately became excited.
Without saying a word, he decided to repeat the process, but what he did not expect was, he was unable to congealthe Law Thread!
Tang Tian jumped in fright, but quickly found the reason, revealing a bitter smile on his face. The cut with the lawthread previously actually consumed all the power of the physique in his body, and the remaining power of thephysique was unable to allow him to concentrate to congeal out the law thread.
The strand of Life Origin Essence was actually able to nourish his body, but was unable to help him recover from thefatigue.
Thinking about all the Life Origin Essence that he was unable to absorb, he became very dejected.
Tang Tian who was feeling upset turned towards the pile of Black Iron Stones.
The smile on his face became even more bitter.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
