Chapter 73: Development Direction
"Then listen carefully."
Next, Eileen carefully introduced the five major chains of evolutionists to Li Wei.
The so-called opening of the gene lock was the terminology of the new era. In the new era, the so-called genes were completely different from the biological genes in Li Wei's impression and the modern society he once lived in. The genes of the new era were an extraordinary power, a power hidden in the bloodline, life, and even the soul of organisms.
Among the five major gene chains, the Power Chain, as the name suggests, represented physical strength. Among the people Li Wei knew, Will was undoubtedly a person who would definitely take the path of the Power Chain in his evolutionary route. This chain would greatly enhance a person's physical strength, even forming extremely terrifying effects. Increasing strength was just the basic foundation. Like Waldo, who wielded a war hammer to strike with lightning, that was definitely the display of some kind of thunder attribute skill of the Power Chain.
The Reflex Chain represented the speed of nerve reflexes. The limit of speed, the limit of reaction ability, the limit of flexibility, and the activity of cells... all these were closely related to the Reflex Chain. Among the Clover Branch, a very famous hunter, Autumn Valley, was a typical enhancer of the Reflex Chain. His knife was extremely deadly. Facing any kind of enemy, he could always easily hit the weakest point of the opponent, causing fatal damage. And no matter what kind of attack method was used, it was extremely difficult to hit him.
The Fortitude Chain, as the name implies, would give the evolutionist under this chain the ability of fortitude. Life would be greatly strengthened, there would be no need to worry about disease invasion, it would be difficult to be killed, and one could withstand damage far beyond what ordinary evolutionists could endure. At the same time, the various abilities developed from the Fortitude Chain would further enhance various aspects of defense, including defense at the mental and spiritual levels, which were also closely related to the Fortitude Chain.
The Pivot Chain represented the strength of the spirit. With the strength of the spirit, one could directly manifest various effects in reality, forming abilities with terrifying effects, wide range, or various special uses. Judith was an outstanding example. The title of "Witch" was burned out by her with a wave of big fire. Also, those who were proficient in using telekinesis were also masters in the Pivot Chain.
The Will Chain was somewhat similar to the Pivot Chain, representing the strength of the spirit as well. However, there was a big difference between the Will Chain and the Pivot Chain. The effect of the Will Chain mainly manifested in the manipulation of external energies that did not belong to oneself. For example, the runemasters were typical examples. Also, most of those who used enhanced bullets as their main combat method belonged to the developers of the Will Chain. Low-level runed bullets could still be used temporarily, but high-level runed props required a strong enough level of the Will Chain to use.
Eileen herself was a master of the Will Chain, as was the Silver Envoy Mars, and Cai Yutong would probably follow this path in the future.
For Li Wei, he had really not thought carefully about which path he would take in the future, but now, this was something he must consider.
Thinking back on his current fighting style, which was mainly close combat with firearms as auxiliary, using the power brought by the ghost hand to enhance his strength, and using techniques like Ghost Slash, Steel Slash, and Demon Claw, he was very powerful in mid-range and close combat. At the same time, firearms also gave him means in long-range combat.
In this way, the Power Chain was very necessary for him. At the same time, the Will Chain was indispensable.
However, thinking carefully about the next step, Li Wei felt that things were not that simple.
Analyzing the abilities provided by the Book of All Laws, if Li Wei were to make a decision, he must be more careful.
The abilities provided by the Book of All Laws greatly enhanced his combat power and were his greatest reliance. However, these abilities undoubtedly all relied on his body. Whether it was opening the Sharingan, activating the power of the Devil's Left Hand, using Steel Slash, or Mage Armor, they all required the consumption of his body's energy.
The Sharingan should represent the Pivot Chain? Or maybe a bit of the Reflex Chain. The power of the Devil's Left Hand could be defined as the Power Chain, but the virtualized demon energy seemed to also have some relationship with the Pivot Chain. Mage Armor should also be the Pivot Chain, or possibly the power of the Fortitude Chain. Steel Slash was related to the Power Chain, but it might also involve some power of the Reflex Chain...
These were Li Wei's judgments based on his experience of using these abilities at present. They might not be accurate. After all, he had not opened the gene lock yet, and had not experienced what the Supernatural Chain was all about, so he could not make accurate judgments.
But even if it was not completely accurate, it was probably close.
"Does this mean I have to be versatile and develop comprehensively?" Li Wei complained in his heart.
In his ears, Eileen's voice continued, "Actually, as long as you have a general idea now, the five major chains are all useful, and no one really walks just one path to the end, that's too extreme. Like me, I mainly develop the Will Chain, but I also have a good level in the Reflex Chain and the Fortitude Chain. Judith mainly walks the Pivot Chain, but she has also learned a lot of techniques from the Fortitude Chain and the Will Chain. Like my father, he is basically involved in all five chains, and even manifested the elements of the Will Chain and the Reflex Chain."
Eileen briefly introduced her own abilities, Judith's, and even her father Mars' evolution directions. There was nothing wrong with this. Although these things were not known to everyone, there were also quite a few people in the top experts who knew about them in this aspect.
Eileen continued, "What you need to consider most now is to find a training method."
"A training method?"
"Yes, a training method. Just relying on injecting gene fluid one by one is not enough to open the gene lock chain. It can comprehensively strengthen your body and mind, but it cannot achieve the sublimation of a certain chain to bring about a qualitative change. You need to find a suitable training method to further temper your strength, accumulate enough power in one of the chains, and achieve sublimation."
"What do you think is suitable for me? Any suggestions?"
"I suggest you find a training method for the Power Chain, and also one for the Pivot Chain. This is more in line with your talent and abilities. I heard Judith say that you also want to develop in rune mastery and bullet manipulation? If you have enough energy, you can also find a training method for the Will Chain, but I suggest you treat this aspect as auxiliary."
In fact, her suggestion was not bad. Li Wei did intend to consider this.
Mainly focusing on the Power Chain and the Pivot Chain, with the Will Chain and the Fortitude Chain as supplements. After all, almost every evolutionist must be involved in the Fortitude Chain. As for the Reflex Chain, it could be considered later.
Is this the final decision? Li Wei scratched his head, feeling that something was not quite right.
