Chapter 54: Energy Distribution Room
After returning from the Storm Isles, Leon didn't stay long in his own space. He quickly exited and hurried to the shadow-attribute space he had rented at Sun City High School.
Once he arrived in the space, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. The seed that had been coiled around his hand, constantly absorbing his shadow energy, automatically detached and floated before him.
At this moment, Leon had the chance to carefully examine the seed. Since sprouting, the seed had noticeably shrunk. Apart from the small main vine and two leaves growing from the top, three purple roots had also sprouted from the bottom of the seed.
According to the books Vine Growth and Energy Conduction and Seven Knights IV Experimental Records - Greenvine, the energy conduction direction of the vine's roots and vine can be controlled, but the main direction cannot be adjusted. The primary direction must be set before the seed is planted.
Generally, there are two choices for vine energy conduction. One is the normal way: energy is absorbed through the roots and then conducted through the vine to the designated location.
The other is the opposite: energy is absorbed through the leaves on the vine and then conducted through the roots to the designated location.
Under normal circumstances, most people would choose the first method since, as long as the vine is on the ground, there would be sufficient energy available.
However, for Leon, the second method was more suitable. He also knew that the seed might need further adjustments.
Fortunately, with the support of books like Vine Growth and Energy Conduction and Seven Knights IV Experimental Records - Greenvine, and having studied relevant materials beforehand, Leon already had a plan for handling the vine.
After the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed detached from his hand, Leon guided it toward the heart of the sea dragon.
Leon had previously transformed the sea dragon's heart into an energy distribution room shaped like a temple, though he had no intention of making the heart into a temple. At that time, Leon had just begun studying architecture, with limited knowledge of various structures. He had only a few blueprints for energy distribution rooms, and the current one was the most visually pleasing to him.
From the present situation, it seemed to be the best choice. Leon had left a low pool-like space under the heart.
With a wave of his hand, the space opened, and Leon directly guided the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed into it.
At the moment the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed was guided in, an electronic screen appeared before Leon, displaying a floor plan of the energy distribution room with three empty spaces.
In the center space was written 'Energy Storage Center,' which now displayed the shadow of the heart temple, along with a data entry (0/1000).
Below the energy storage center was a space labeled 'Energy Transfer Hub,' which had been replaced by the shadow of the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed. Unlike the heart temple's shadow, the vine seed's shadow had a faint golden Lv3 mark.
The uppermost space was labeled 'Energy Conversion System,' which was still empty.
However, Leon didn't intend to leave it that way. He raised his hand, and a faint golden card appeared in his palm.
This card was none other than the Great Urn. After taking it out, Leon simply released his grip, and a massive urn, taller than himself, appeared before him.
The urn was large enough for three people to embrace. Its body was a deep red, as if soaked in blood, and simple patterns were carved on its surface.
As soon as it appeared, Leon sent it to the center of the heart temple's hall. The moment the urn descended.
The last empty space on the energy distribution room's floor plan was filled. Like the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed, the shadow of the Great Urn also had a faint golden Lv3 mark.
After completing all this, Leon quickly retreated, stopping about twenty meters from the heart temple. Only then did he select a combination button on the screen, initiating the formal combination of the energy distribution room.
On the screen, the combination involved the shadows of the Great Urn, the Heart Temple, and the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed swirling around each other. But twenty meters away from Leon, the reality was quite different.
In the space beneath the temple, the Shadow-Sprouted Vine Seed seemed to have been stimulated, sprouting rapidly. The purple roots expanded and lengthened, growing from under the temple and splitting into seven parts. The vine itself followed suit, with seven thick vines breaking through the walls around the temple, covering its exterior.
Almost instantly, the exterior of the temple was filled with palm-sized purple leaves, making the entire structure appear purple.
However, what was truly astonishing was that when the seven vines approached the top of the temple, they all branched out. The main branches hung from the temple's roof, draping down into the hall and wrapping around the great urn.
The moment the vines wrapped around the urn, the fine white hairs on the underside of the leaves fused the vines and the urn together. Just like when the vine had absorbed the shadow energy from Leon's body, it now forcibly absorbed energy from the urn.
The urn contained the blood of a goddess, and although the vine could only extract a small amount of energy, that small amount was enough.
The shadow energy in the urn, tainted by the goddess's blood, had taken on a faint golden hue. This gold slowly traveled along the vines, entering the space below the temple and then being transmitted outward through the roots.
However, since the roots had not yet connected to any other structures, the energy could not be transmitted out and remained stored in the space beneath the temple.
But this was not the final transformation. The ground of the temple hall had begun to slightly bulge. Three roots grew upward, spiraling around the urn and eventually disappearing into the mouth of the urn. The energy that had just been absorbed was now being transferred into the urn.
It could be seen that the entire process—from the fine hairs on the vines forcibly extracting energy from the urn, to the energy finally returning to the urn—took about ten minutes.
After two cycles of energy transfer, Leon finally received a notification.
[Energy Distribution Room]
[Quality: Lv2 (Faint Gold) - Upgradable] (Downgraded from Lv3, can be upgraded back to Lv3 through certain methods)
[Function: Shadow Energy Conversion] (Converts all energy into shadow energy)
[Function: Divine Blood Corrosion (0.01%)] (Due to the large amount of goddess blood in the urn, for every 10,000 units of shadow energy converted, one unit of divine energy is produced. This energy primarily strengthens components of the energy distribution room)
[Storage Capacity: 0/5000]
