LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 3: The Spirituality and Reincarnation of History
“New modules, new features, and a costume? What is this all about?”
Looking at the costume named “Sect Leader of the Qingxu Sect,” Chen Xiyi was a bit skeptical about life. He could connect the dots for the first two things, but this costume named “Sect Leader of the Qingxu Sect” made it hard for him to understand.
“You can’t say that this newborn Otherworldly Devil is the Sect Leader of the Qingxu Sect, right?
【Costume: Sect Leader of the Qingxu Sect】
【Charm +10】
“As always, simplicity. And what is this Charm thing?” Chen Xiyi looked at the increased attribute but didn’t pay much attention to it. He directly equipped it.
After a simple glance at his own character panel, he indeed looked like someone with an Immortal-like Demeanor. Even though he considered himself average-looking, with this costume on, his overall aura immediately elevated several times.
However, Chen Xiyi didn’t quite like it. It was nice, but the problem was it was too nice – it attracted too much attention. After looking at it for more than ten seconds, he decisively closed it.
In a world where no one was around, looking good wouldn’t put food on the table.
He then shifted his focus to the newly added modules and features beneath the panel.
【Module: Spirituality of History (Inactive)】
【Feature: Reincarnation】
Chen Xiyi wasn’t quite clear about the Spirituality of History, but he knew about reincarnation. Judging from the name, it was probably about rebirth or transmigration. What else could it be?
【Module: Spirituality of History】
【Upon activation, it can awaken the spirituality of historical legacy items and transform them into fairies】
“Spirituality? Fairies?”
This made Chen Xiyi feel a bit strange, and he promptly activated it.
【You Obtained: Fairy Enclosure Blueprint】
【You Obtained: Complete Fairy Recipe Collection】
【You Obtained: Fairy Breeding Manual】
【You Obtained: Spiritualize】
“Spiritualize is a skill?” Chen Xiyi looked at the skill that appeared. This skill was used to awaken the spirituality within historical legacy items and transform them into fairies.
The Fairy Enclosure Blueprint provided Chen Xiyi with designs for the living spaces of fairies, each type of fairy having its corresponding enclosure.
The Complete Fairy Recipe Collection was used to prepare the food necessary for fairies. Of course, if he obtained a fairy specializing in cooking, such as one awakened from certain pots or knives, they could also assist in cooking.
As for the Fairy Breeding Manual, it was exactly what its name implied – a guide for breeding fairies.
“This Spirituality of History module seems quite powerful.”
Chen Xiyi couldn’t help but exclaim. For instance, if he awakened a fairy from an ax, that fairy could help him chop wood. If he awakened one from a pickaxe, it could help him mine stones.
Even from a series of items like a furnace, fishing rod, hoe, or water tank, awakening fairies meant he could devote himself to enjoying life without having to do everything himself.
If he awakened fairies from weapons in the future, when facing Otherworldly Devils, there would be helpers to team up and fight.
More importantly, he would have someone to chat with in the future.
Therefore, Chen Xiyi eagerly picked up a wooden spear to awaken.
【Fairy awakening failed, there is no spirituality in this item’s historical legacy】
The failed use of the Spiritualize skill poured cold water on Chen Xiyi. The spirituality in historical legacy items was really hard to come by.
At the very least, it required long existence coupled with significant experiences.
The former being history and the latter being legacy, only then could the spirituality be awakened and transformed into fairies.
For example, items such as Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy, the First Emperor’s Tai’a Sword, Zhang Heng’s seismograph, and so on.
“Fame, time, experience, these three elements constitute spirituality,” Chen Xiyi felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The first two are fine, but the experience afterwards is a bit problematic.
If he encounters an item with historical significance and wishes to obtain it, he must purchase it properly or receive it as a gift. If obtained through improper means, the item’s final experience will have flaws.
As for subsequent transactions, that’s not his concern. The key point for flaws lies in how he acquires it, whether through legitimate purchase or gift, rather than considering all events, which affect the abilities and types of fairies, not defects.
Due to malicious acquisition, the awakened fairy may exhibit negative character traits like rebelliousness, greed, and even deceitful behavior.
After all, this is part of the item’s experience.
However, if obtained through legitimate means like a positive gift or purchase, it will exhibit positive tendencies.
As he raised it himself, Chen Xiyi naturally hoped for obedient and loving fairies instead of troublesome rebellious ones.
“My possessions lack historical significance, so if I want to obtain fairies, I can only rely on reincarnation.”
【Function: Reincarnation】
【Enter a random world, followed by a cooldown period with varying duration】
Reincarnation doesn’t mean being reborn but rather traveling to a random world, which makes Chen Xiyi think this newborn otherworldly demon is a good person.
In this way, his historical spirituality finally had a purpose.
But with it came a new issue, that of safety.
“I need to prepare well for many things I overlooked before,” Chen Xiyi muttered to himself.
“In a new world, it means I can gather a large amount of non-renewable resources, allowing me to transition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, as long as I have enough resources, I can quickly progress and become stronger.”
Since stone, iron ore, and more are non-renewable resources, all of Chen Xiyi’s progress is based on wood. Items like wooden armor, weapons, and structures rely on wood.
In his original homeland, these non-renewable resources were nearly depleted as they were used to make furnaces, workbenches, feed making machines, and other essential facilities.
By the time he realized these resources were running out, it was too late, and he would have to rely on wood going forward.
Fortunately, the difference between wooden and stone/iron tools is just some data; he can still use them, though many items can’t be made due to resource depletion.
It’s a good thing he made those essential facilities; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to create many items he currently uses. He had to rely on the sandbox game’s various functions.
Essentially, he selects materials to craft and waits for the crafting progress bar to complete.
“Weapons, armor, tools, food. I need to prepare quickly; after waiting for ten years, I can finally go out and explore.”
Excitement lit up Chen Xiyi’s face, far more than when he killed his first monster, as this represented an end to his lonely days of self-talk.
