Chapter 161: Void Fragment Level 1
Moments after Ram finished examining the plants, a series of system logs flickered in his field of vision, but most of them quickly vanished, leaving just three prompts floating in front of him.
[
Do you wish to retain the 'Source Power Collector' skill X200, classified 'D' Grade skill, at the cost of 2,000 points of Spiritual Power?
]
[Yes/No]
[
Do you wish to retain the 'Resilient Structure' skill X200, classified 'E' Grade skill, at the cost of 200 points of Spiritual Power?
]
[Yes/No]
[
Do you wish to retain the 'Growth Adaptability - Minor Healing Aura' skill X200, classified 'E' Grade skill, at the cost of 200 points of Spiritual Power?
]
[Yes/No]
Ram couldn't help but smile as he considered the prompts.
Back when he was still at Tier 1, retaining even a single skill would have cost him tens of thousands of spiritual power points.
Now, thanks to his evolution and the continuous refinement of his Spiritual power and Life energy, saving a D-grade skill was as simple as spending just ten points of spiritual power per instance.
And E-grade skills? that needed a thousand points per instance—now only need one point of Spiritual power.
Though D-grade and E-grade skills weren't individually powerful, being able to collect over two hundred of each skill opened up countless possibilities.
With enough of these skills saved and stored, he could infuse them into other creatures or even create two hundred more plants capable of collecting source power with the skill Source Power Collector.
"Hmm... I might even be able to collect more seeds from the new plants to continue generating plants with Source Power Collector skills." He thought as he looked at his remaining spiritual power to save both Source Power Collector and Growth Adaptability - Minor Healing Aura.
Soon he lost another two thousand two hundred points of spiritual power and saved all those skills, and the next thing was to find suitable spiritual plants or wood spirits to infuse them.
"I should go back and meet up with the others," Ram murmured, feeling all the time, he spent after he entered the new space, and went to the Lord's city and from there to Red River Domain.
Calculating it all, it had been too long since he'd left the Void Space, and he knew it was time to return to the Cyber Core District.
Closing his eyes, he focused his Divine consciousness, reaching out to the faint Space mark he had placed when he first entered the Void Space.
The mark pulsed softly, with his intent to return back, he disappeared from the Sylvan Soul Kingdom, and the surroundings warped and faded into a hazy void.
The moment he reappeared, Ram noticed he wasn't in the stone house where he first entered the space, but instead found himself hundreds of meters away, standing on a rocky plateau not far from the cavemen's tribe.
He took a moment to orient himself, scanning around, there was no immediate threat in sight, "Off..." he sighed releasing his tension.
Drawing a deep breath, Ram activated the mental link he shared with his wood spirits and the evolved Half-Drow cavemen he transformed. "Hey, everyone, I need you all here," he called everyone through the connection.
Moments later, Ram sensed a familiar presence approaching. Nyra arrived first, with Korrin and a wave of cavemen trailing behind her—over seventy of them gathering quickly.
Then he noticed Ling'er, Groot, Thorny, and Ming Yue following close behind, each eager to meet him.
Nyra reached him first, wrapping her arms around his right hand with a grin. "Finally, you're back! I was beginning to think you'd forgotten all about us," she teased, her eyes gleaming with warmth.
Thorny and Ming Yue floated up to his face, each one taking turns nudging his cheeks in a show of affection.
Ming Yue's gentle nudges were calming, while Thorny was more playful, a bit rough in its own way. Ram chuckled at their attention, lifting his hand to pet both of them.
Ling'er settled onto his left shoulder with a haughty look on her face, crossing her tiny hands in front of her. She glanced around at the other creatures as if to say, "Remember, I'm the first spirit Ram chose."
Korrin approached with his usual calm but attentive demeanor, stopping a few steps away and nodding in respect. The other cavemen gathered around, their gazes fixed on Ram, waiting for his instructions.
"Now that all the mechanical soldiers already left, it's time for us to leave," Ram said, smiling at all the creatures that gathered around him. "I already found a place for all the cavemen to stay, however..."
As Ram spoke to his companions, he pulled up his Lord's panel, hoping to add everyone in front of him to his territory.
Adding the wood spirits was straightforward; they joined his territory without any resistance, with the total territorial population increasing by another 4.
But when he attempted to add Korrin and the other Half-Drow cavemen, a prompt flashed up, blocking him.
[System Note:
Unable to recruit. The selected subject is non-recruitable.
]
Ram already guessed this before, he didn't frown or get disappointed.
Despite this message, he could still sense his ability to bring them into his Void Space easily enough.
It was as if, as long as the Half-Drow didn't resist, he could transport them to his space without any issues—much like with the Beeman from before.
Just then, something clicked in his mind. "Wait… I haven't really looked over my own attribute panel in detail," he realized.
Curious, he navigated back to his attribute panel, this time noticing a new set of entries labeled as details about the Sylvan Soul Kingdom.
His gaze lingered on the new information displayed:
[ Name:
Sylvan Soul Kingdom
]
[ Type:
Void Fragment
]
[ Level:
Level 1
]
(Ten levels)
[ Upgrade conditions:
Need to devour more fragments or need to use space expansion items.
]
[ Special Features:
None
]
Reading over the information, Ram couldn't help but feel intrigued.
"So, that's how it was..." he immediately understood, although the Sylvan Soul Kingdom was transformed into his own territory, it's still considered as a small Void fragment, with its own potential to grow.
"Even though the upgrade conditions are quite straightforward, does this apply to the unknown quality upgrade requirement shown on the Lord's panel?" Ram wondered as he examined further.
"It appears the void fragment has ten more levels to go. I wonder how big it will expand once it reaches Level 10."
Noticing his shift in mood, Nyra nudged him with a curious smile. "Master, did something happen?"
"Nope, everything is fine," Ram replied with a quick, reassuring smile. But he could see the curiosity in Korrin's eyes, the same in Nyra's and a few of the other cavemen.
Deciding it was time to lay out his plans, he continued, "Actually… there's something important I want to discuss with all of you."
Korrin stepped closer, arms folded, his sharp gaze focused on Ram.
Ram inhaled deeply and spoke again, "It's simple, I've developed a new ability that enables me to transform creatures into Wood Spirits."
"I intend to convert most of the cavemen into Wood Spirits to enhance their potential."
