Chapter 827: Risks & Limitations



The primal essences of virgin witches could be said to be sources of incredibly concentrated energy in their own right. Furthermore, they would only accumulate with time until they were reaped or lost.

As such, Vaan believed there had to be more potent uses for the primal essences than to develop Specialized Magic and Divine Power.

After all, compared to Fourth Dream's primal essence, which had accumulated energy for thousands of years, the dream-attribute divine mana he collected from their dual cultivation would only be considered chump change.

More importantly, Specialized Magic and Divine Power weren't useful to him at present. As he reached higher levels, they would become even less useful.

Furthermore, they were also tedious to acquire.

He could just comprehend the relevant laws to develop the desired abilities and divine power.

As such, consuming primal essences to acquire Specialized Magic or Divine Power didn't seem to be the ideal way of using primal essences- at least for him, that was. His limitless potential allowed him to be this picky.

'System, primal essence is also a source of energy. It is illogical that it cannot be utilized for self-improvement like mana and only has a singular use,' Vaan willed to the system.

<The Divine-rank primal essence has been re-evaluated>

<A new list of options for the Divine-rank primal essence has been discovered>

<Option 1: Reinforce your soul with the Divine-rank primal essence and advance your soul force by 2500 points>

<Option 2: Reinforce your mana core with the Divine-rank primal essence and advance your mana cultivation to the Mid-stage Transcendent Warlock rank>

<Option 3: Feed the Divine-rank primal essence to Heaven-Swallowing Space and expand its current subspace by 300%>

<Option 4: Use the Divine-rank primal essence to open the Lower Dantian and initiate your energy cultivation...>

After all, killing a witch would rob their entire cultivation's worth of mana for self- improvement. On the other hand, subjugating a witch would only farm the mana they should have absorbed from the atmosphere.

The difference was quite clear.

Suddenly, Vaan frowned as he recalled the strange visions of killing Astoria and countless

other witches.

In those visions, they all died at his hands. However, the 'him' in those visions also seemed like a completely different person. Despite inhabiting the same body, they walked completely

different paths.

To date, he still couldn't quite figure out why he received such visions.

Given the uniqueness of his soul and its past exposure to Fourth Dimensional Energy, it might be possible for him to have an unawakened ability capable of perceiving his alternative selves

in parallel timelines.

However, he also felt that possibility was quite unlikely. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.

It was like some force was purposely confusing him to prevent him from uncovering the truth.

Nevertheless, even if Vaan had discovered the method to upgrade the system sooner, it wouldn't have been possible for him to accomplish it anyway.

He had neither the strength, reason, or numbers to kill so many high-level witches. 'Although I found out the method to upgrade the system, I lack the conditions to carry it out. On the other hand...' Vaan thought about the second solution and frowned.

It was impossible for him to follow through on the second solution.

He might consider the first solution if circumstances called for it in the future. However, he would never agree to the second solution.

The Witch Hunter System was something he had yet to fully understand, not to mention it was incomplete. Far too many risk factors and limitations were involved in fusing his soul

with it.

Even now, Vaan already felt the limitations of having the system bound to his soul.

After all, he was no longer dependent on the system like he was in the past. He could refine the Divine-rank primal essence himself if he had it.

However, the Divine-rank primal essence automatically fell into the system's private storage. Moreover, the system was refusing to cough it up.

That point alone was enough reason for Vaan to reject the second solution.

'Dual cultivation with Fourth Dream netted great gains, but my choices are far more limited

than I had hoped... Am I getting greedy for results?' Vaan wondered. Shortly after, he returned his attention to the dream-attribute divine mana.

Although it was a potent resource for reinforcing his soul and mana core, he didn't want

either of them to be contaminated with the dream aspect.

Thus, he eventually settled for the third option-feeding it to the Heaven-Swallowing Space

to expand his storage space by 30%.
