Chapter 1197: Chapter 488: You Are Merely an Observer (2)

The old professor’s voice became deep:

”Peering into historical events related to high-ranking apostles, she might sense the presence of the observer and exert a reverse influence.”

”This reverse influence may involve memory tampering, personality distortion, or even direct spiritual control.”

Ron furrowed his brow.

This risk is indeed not to be underestimated.

The power essence of the Abyssal Apostle lies in the distortion and manipulation of the rules of reality.

Even when looking back over a century of history, they still have the ability to affect observers.

”However...”

Uther switched the tone of his words, carrying a sense of reassurance:

”Considering you have already established a stable connection with that more powerful apostle, and demonstrated exceptionally strong resistance to abyssal contamination, I’m not overly worried about these.”

”Nari’s protection should provide you adequate defense. Moreover, the chaos traits within you can act as a safeguard at critical moments.”

This assessment made Ron feel slightly at ease.

Although historical infiltration is still dangerous, it’s not a completely dire act.

.........

Over the following two days, under Uther’s guidance, Ron made thorough preparations.

During this time, he introspected to organize his current situation and decision logic.

In fact, he also considered that since the bloodline awakening during the Elemental Night was so successful, he should continue to stay at the elemental convergence point in the Sands of Quicksand for magic power compression cultivation?

After all, the enhancement effect of such a special environment blessed by the triple lunar eclipse on magic compression is very evident.

But the actual situation is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Firstly, Cassandra had always been waiting for him to return and advance the ”peace evolution” plan.

Although he has now chosen to withdraw, at that time he hadn’t seen the true face of Cedric’s proposal.

Back then, he indeed needed to fulfill his promise to Cassandra.

Secondly, the elemental convergence points are all located in the heartland of the Sands of Quicksand, far from the direct sphere of influence of the Sand Sea School.

In the situation where Cassandra had completely torn apart with the Life Tree School, continuing cultivation there alone posed an enormous risk.

The retaliatory actions of the Life Tree School may very well include clearing anyone associated with Cassandra.

The most important reason is that Salamanda had once told him a key piece of information:

”Having the conditions to compress magic power in the depths of the abyss is actually the most efficient.”

The chaotic energy in the abyssal environment has a unique catalytic effect on the compression and purification of magic power.

Though the danger level is higher, with guidance from experienced guides and strong protection, this environment can make the cultivation of a Moonlight Level Mage very effective.

And he currently possesses such ideal cultivation conditions.

Once he completes the historian’s career switch, he can enter the fifth level again.

By then, he will have both the special boosts from the abyssal environment and the guidance and protection from an apostle-level entity like Nari.

This is also the real reason Ron is eager to return to the observatory after finishing business in the Central Lands.

.........

At night, Ron went alone to the private meditation room deep in the observatory.

This is a sealed space surrounded by special abyss stone, with various protective arrays engraved by him on the walls.

The air is filled with a faint sulfur smell and an indescribable mysterious fragrance.

It is the unique aroma produced when abyssal energy contacts the real world.

He took out the ”Core of Contradiction” bestowed by the King of Absurdity from his storage bag.

The obsidian-like sphere emitted a subtle warmth in his palm, and its surface was smooth like a mirror where occasional ripples appeared as if a pebble were thrown into a lake.

”Another painful cultivation.”

Ron sighed lightly, began adjusting his posture to enter a meditative state.

When he initiated the meditation rhythm of the ”Star Eater’s Ravings,” the Core of Contradiction immediately started to take effect.

An unprecedented sense of oppression began to emanate from the sphere, directly acting upon the magic power within his body.

Every flow of magic power became exceptionally difficult, as if the energy coursing through his veins were viscous liquid metal instead.

Yet during this painful process, the compression effect on the magic power proved to be extraordinarily significant.

Under the special force field of the Core of Contradiction, originally loose energy particles were forcibly compressed into a tighter structure.

This compression not only increased the density of magic power but fundamentally transformed its stability and purity.

Sweat continually seeped from his forehead, with twinges of pain emanating from his temples.

But Ron gritted his teeth in perseverance, clearly feeling each compression cycle rendering him stronger.

Based on his current progress evaluation, approximately another two months are needed to reach the minimum standard required for breakthrough of double magic power compression.

If it were possible to cultivate under the boosts of the abyssal environment, this time frame could be further shortened.

.........

Having completed a round of magic power compression cultivation, Ron began deeper exploration of the Star Eater’s Ravings meditation technique.

Besides the already established connection with the ”Wisdom Triangle”—Hermit Star, Scholar Star, Observer Star—there are countless other stars in the vast sea of stars waiting to establish connections with him.

His consciousness stretched along the guiding light of the stars to the farther reaches of the cosmos.

In this vast star domain, each star emits unique energy frequencies, representing different power essences and conceptual connotations.

But tonight, when his perception touched those distant stars, he sensed some unsettling anomalies.
