Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Apprehension

The higher your Race Grade was in relation to your strength Grade, the more rules within said Grade that you could "break". Though technically, this wouldn't constitute breaking rules at all.

For Sylas, who had a Dual Class Constitution, he would be able to "break" even more than the usual individual.

For some Races above D-Grade, it was even possible for them to use Mature Aether even before leveling up a single time.

This was the disparity between Races.

Now, Sylas just had to know... what was the method to use the Genesis Forge?

The last time he went in there, he felt like his life was truly on the line. This was why he hadn't even attempted to go again.

But was there a method that he was missing here?

[Why did the Genesis Forge harm me?]

[The Genesis Forge did not harm you. Breaking through the restriction of a Race by unconventional means is particularly difficult and cannot be done without persistent refinement and pain. The Genesis Forge is named as such because beneath its pressure, your body is treated no differently from any other metal. You are tempered and forged.]

Sylas took a breath when he read this, only to remember that he was deep within this pool of lava still.

It was no wonder his injuries were so odd before. He had felt like his body hurt, but he had also gone into the battle with the Glass Monkey shortly afterward. There also weren't any lingering effects.

'In that case...'

[How many sessions will this take?]

[The number is variable and also depends on comprehension. However, if taking your progress on the first as a measuring stick, it will take exactly 1 272 710 sessions with about a three-day waiting period in between to allow your body to recover and adapt.]

Sylas' lip twitched.

That was ten thousand years. He was sure that his lifespan would be extended the stronger he became, but he couldn't even fathom living that long... nor would he even if couldn't become an E-Grade Race first at the very least.

'Comprehension... is it referring to the Runes on the forge? But I couldn't even observe them for long before I was nearly crushed to death...'

[How do I improve the benefits of my sessions?]

[You will need stronger Will. But it is also inadvised to use the Genesis Forge with the current state of the Worldshard Jade. Without sufficient Aether, you are bound to receive diminishing returns.]

'Aether...'

Sylas suddenly understood. Maybe the Worldshard Jade wasn't just an extra add-on after all. In fact, maybe whoever retrieved the Genesis Forge to begin with realized that it couldn't be used as is without the support of the Worldshard Jade. Otherwise, no one would be able to successfully upgrade their Race Grade, at least not before they died.

But considering the complexity and value of the Worldshard Jade, if it was just as simple as placing it in a location with a great amount of Aether, then it would have already been filled up long ago.

[How do I saturate the Worldshard Jade with Aether?]

Sylas was a bit worried that this would cost a pretty penny. After all, information about the Worldshard Jade had stalled him for so long. But luckily the Madness Key didn't price gouge him.

And second... _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
