The moment the superpower took effect, Bai Yi was instantly delighted, but then her expression changed drastically.
The good news was that her conjecture was correct; the creation indeed successfully affected the force within Ryan’s body, starting to create an entirely new soul within that force.
But the bad news was that the depletion this time was significant!
A large amount of magic power was siphoned by the superpower, like a magic power black hole.
However, fortunately, when her magic power was nearly exhausted, the siphoning finally slowed down and eventually stopped, and a brand new soul had been born under Bai Yi’s witness.
"Fortunately, if needed a bit more, I would have had to reveal some abilities and extract a magic power crystal to recover..."
Bai Yi thought to herself, breathing a sigh of relief.
Although performing an anomaly theoretically wouldn’t be suspected since she was saving a life, it’s still preferable to minimize unexpected incidents.
After concluding the creation, Bai Yi did not pause her superpower, maintaining the special effects pretending to continue the healing process.
In the perspective of soul vision, a new soul had already emerged within Ryan’s body.
This creation differed from last week’s which used the body of a big demon as a basis and instead targeted the energy cluster within.
Thus, the soul created was strictly speaking not Ryan’s body’s soul and certainly wouldn’t seize control of Ryan’s body.
Now, under Bai Yi’s control, it wasn’t stirring trouble inside but rather quietly gathering its own strength.
"Not bad, this method can actually create an energy-based lifeform, what is it ultimately based on for survival?
Even inanimate objects have a physical foundation, but this has nothing.
Is this considered an energy lifeform or a field lifeform? Perhaps it can be in the same category as Elemental Elves?
If it counts as a kind of life, then it...
Can it have its ’genes’ extracted?"
Faced with brand-new life, Bai Yi was extremely curious.
The closest organisms she had encountered before were the Undead Clan; they were a similar type of life, lacking physical form but reliant on corpses.
But even they require a corpse as a foundation, otherwise they quickly consume themselves and eventually dissipate...
Upon thinking this, Bai Yi’s expression suddenly became stern.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten about the Undead Clan all along? I must remember to cultivate them this time back...
Well, let’s hope I remember this time." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ nοvelfire.net
Temporarily setting aside thoughts about the Undead Clan, Bai Yi began contemplating the possibility of gene extraction anew.
She was already aware that her current superpower had greatly diverged from her understanding, with gene extraction no longer limited to organisms and not even limited to "genes."
Even souls can be directly extracted, so theoretically energy-based lifeforms shouldn’t pose a problem.
The simplest way to validate her idea, naturally, was to directly attempt it.
Using the superpower as a bridge, Bai Yi gestured with her hand.
The newly born soul, like a newborn baby, with no network connection for rapid growth, had Bai Yi as its entire world.
Upon receiving Bai Yi’s indication, it eagerly detached from its body, wanting to approach its "mother."
From Torri’s perspective as a bystander, Bai Yi somehow employed a method causing his friend Ryan to quickly fall into slumber again; after exerting his superpower to the fullest, she gestured and summoned a wave of dull magic power from Ryan’s body.
This dull power, upon entering the outside world, seemed to instantly plunge the previously lively magic power in the room into a time field, all turning gradually stagnant and quiet.
No need for recall or contemplation, Torri immediately recognized it as the same force that had harmed his old friend!
Miss Fan Mao actually extracted it directly!
Therefore, does this mean Old Ryan is healed?!
Envisioning this result, Torri’s eyes widened with excitement, but he held back the joy, patiently waiting for the force to be completely extracted from Ryan’s body bit by bit.
And as the orchestrator, Bai Yi managed the extraction progress with precise control.
Feeling the last trace of energy being detached, the energy-based lifeform promptly threw itself towards Bai Yi, landing in her hands, seeking closeness.
Sensing the superpower taking effect on it, Bai Yi’s face revealed a satisfied smile.
"Unexpectedly, such gains right after arriving at the fortress.
Beyond acquiring a pseudo-9th tier entity of this world, I also gained such a unique lifeform and the corresponding genes..."
Upon acquiring the energy-based lifeform, Bai Yi instantly used gene extraction; during her brief rest, her magic power had recovered to a sufficient level.
Though this extraction posed serious "overvaluation" due to its non-life nature, she still bore it calmly, completing the "gene" extraction.
A total of three major gene entries, each one is a treasure!
Two seemed unique to energy-based lifeforms: one was energy control, primarily maintaining the body’s form, granting powerful control over one’s energy along with a 50% damage increase.
The other, called energy assimilation, could convert free magic power into the same type of power as itself, replenishing consumption to sustain its existence.
Even picked individually, these entries were an incredibly potent talent; once enhanced, they could definitely become a universal gene!
However, these two entries weren’t the highlight of this gain; the core was the essence ability of the force or rather the abnormal object’s essence capability it belonged to.
