13 years huh..."
It's not a short time and it's not a long time either. If Del was able to use Qi then he would definitely reach the Nascent Soul realm within 15 years.
However, right now there was no Qi in this world and Del was unable to use the new energy he had sensed. He didn't know why this was happening, supposedly the way energy was used would be the same even though the energies were different.
Only the dragon prana specially made for asuras had a different way to use it. But that's because the Asura race were the enemies of the world, they were created to destroy this world and were bound by the chain of creation and destruction.
"System, why can't I use the energy of this world?"
[Searching for information...]
[Information found... 13,456 points will be taken, Host has insufficient points. Does Host wish to exchange information?]
Del returned to trading martial arts for points but the more martial art techniques he exchanged the fewer points he got. Until it got to the point where one martial art technique was only worth 13 points.
Del's brow furrowed, he had expected this to happen.
Unlike the information about the Cultivation World, mortal humans, Lower Realms plant and animal, martial art techniques could easily be deduced by Gaia if he knew the basics. For this reason, it was only natural that the price of martial arts would continue to decrease the more Del exchanged it for points.
If it wasn't like that then Del with his very strong comprehension could create thousands of martial art techniques in a few minutes and continue to exchange martial arts for points.
Del finally exchanged all the martial arts he had, considering that if he waited longer then the price would decrease as Gaia's deduction deepened.
Right now he was thinking hard about what information he would exchange next. He didn't want to exchange information that was too important or could be deduced by Gaia easily.
Originally he wanted to exchange information about demon beasts, but this information was quite important considering that all strong demons used to be demon beasts until they evolved when their Golden Cores were formed. Therefore if Del gave Gaia information about demon beasts then there was a chance she would be able to deduce about demon evolution.
"Hmm... Exchange the Sunlight art for points"
The Sunlight art was a cultivation art he discovered in the lower realm before ascending to the upper realm. This cultivation art only allowed the user to reach the Qi Gathering realm. Del had tried to deduce this cultivation art in order to reach the Foundation Establishment realm but he had never been successful.
If it turns out that Gaia was able to deduce the Sunlight art into a Foundation Establishment cultivation art or more, then he could only surrender and acknowledge Gaia's greatness.
[Mana is the energy that comes from the Twin World universe essence. When the merging phase occurs, Mana will seep into the Substance part and join the Main inhabitants of the Planet. So Mana can only be used by the natives of the Gaia Universe.
During the process of forming the Host's body, there was a disturbance caused by Ayam Cemani Body. To overcome this, Universe's Law decided to shape the Host's body directly so that it would match the Ayam Cemani Body.
Consequently, Host's current body is not a body made by Gaia so the Host is not a native of the Gaia Universe. So when the Host tries to control Mana which is come from the Essence part of Gaia Universe, Host's body will reject it.]
"Fuck! So that's what happened!"
Del was frustrated, if his failure to control mana was the result of Gaia's actions then he could still negotiate. After all, Del was currently a guest at someone's house, if he only ate and slept without even washing the dishes then it was only natural that the host would be angry.
But in reality, all of this was not caused by Gaia, instead, it was caused by his own body. Del didn't expect Ayam Cemani Body to be so strong that it was able to force Universe's Law directly to make his body.
Ayam Cemani Body was so mysterious that even Gorda, the commander of the asura army, couldn't even figure out this physique.
Del massaged his wrinkled forehead making him look like a debt-ridden office worker with a baby body.
"Okay... If Ayam Cemani Body is strong enough to coerce the Universe's Law then if I am able to use its strength properly, it will probably exceed what cultivation arts can provide."
Del returned to thinking positively. He would not continue thinking about the problems he had, if he was unable to think of a solution then he wouldn't fuss about it. This is what kept Del from going crazy after hundreds of millions of years of failing to heal his cock.
"Hmm.. Ayam Cemani Body.... I don't have any information about the Ayam Cemani Body but according to Groda, Ayam Cemani is a creature born from a black hole that hatches."
If his words were heard by scientists in this world, Del would be burned alive but he was sure that Groda was not lying to him.
"Black Holes... Black Holes..."
Del reviewed all his knowledge about that majestic celestial body. Based on the estimates of researchers for hundreds of years, Black Holes are created as a result of the occurrence of a supernova from the explosion of a very large star.
"Star... Supernova... Hmm... Point Star? Do I have to blow up my body?"
Del has again swept away in his deep comprehension. He then slowly started to understand the ups and downs of the knowledge he had.
"No... It was said that at the beginning of this world, there was nothing or nothingness... What is nothingness?"
Del imagined it as a very dark room without light, but wasn't that dark room a 'thing'? So in that way, 'nothingness' will not exist if there is no 'a thing'.
So 'nothingness' is not the absence of nothing but a description of the start of something. A series of numbers never start from 0 but instead, it starts from 1.
One is the start and end.
"The One"
Blood flowed out of Del's nostrils when he reached this part of his thought. Del wiped his blood and realized that he had just touched something that could have killed him.
As Groda said: some knowledge is better unknown than known.
Del sealed all his thoughts about The One with his soul power. He didn't want to die young after becoming a complete man again. He forgot the entire 'nothingness' thing and started thinking from the point something appeared in the world.
"The Universe is made from a single point... and that single point becomes everything..."
Just as the Dao is made up of one and one forms three and three forms the universe.
"Then... Mass Cloud... Stellar Nebula... Point Start"
After the occurrence of events or what can be called the Big Bang, the entire universe was filled with clouds consisting of various particles, but the most numerous were Hydrogen and Helium. As a result of a very strong gravitational pull, that massive cloud gathers and forms a single unit, which can be a planet or a star.
Del focused his mind to look inside himself, and there he saw a small dot like white ink on black paper. That point was the Point Star, a point that can start everything.
He understands that his destiny was to become an Ayam Cemani, but in order to do that he had to go through various stages which all start from this small point. He didn't have to destroy his body and rebuild it he simply had to destroy his Point Star.
It didn't take long for Del to decide to give it a try, using the energy in his body Del hit the Point Star with all his might. However, what happened was that the Point Star didn't budge at all. It was as if a hard wall was hit by a splash of water.
Del realized that the Point Star's outer shell was so powerful that he needed energy that was billions of times stronger than what he currently had. He also had a hunch that if he destroyed the Point Star from the outside then he would destroy his foundations.
For this reason, Del made the Point Star absorb his energy; he assumed that if he filled the Point Star with energy, it would explode from within. And the assumption was correct, the Point Star absorbed Del's energy very greedily but along with that Del's body gradually got weaker.
He was forced to stop draining his energy before the Point Star began to drain his lifespan.
"Huft... huft... huft... Shit... I will die before the Point Star breaks"
Del went back to meditating to restore his energy as well as searching for a solution to this new problem. He couldn't use Qi nor Mana, the only energy he could use was the energy in his own body.
"Hah... hah... It looks like there is only one way to do it hah... hah..." Del panted heavily.
"Martial Arts"
By training his body like a mortal do, he would be able to use internal energy. But this requires a long time and hard training, of course, this was not a problem for Del. However, martial arts also required resources to practice.
He is just a baby, Del did not have the opportunity to gather resources for training, and now in this world, the resources for training martial arts were so scarce and expensive. With all of these obstacles, it would take Del decades to reach the minimum energy to make the Point Star explode.
"Ugh… Where can I easily obtain resources that are available even for a baby?"
"Del, have you already woken up?.. What happened? Why are you so pale?! Del, are you sick? Come on, let's check your body before it gets worse"
Chika who came suddenly panicked when she saw Del's pale face. Without waiting for confirmation she immediately hugged Del and took him to the orphanage infirmary.
"One and the other... I hate this child's body"
