Keep up the good work author, see you for an other month.
See this! I just gifted the story: Ice cola
The context and usage of a resources I should have said**
You’re underestimating people stupidity and greed here. We have multiple alternative ressources that could replace oil and others in part or in totality but aren’t due to interests. Classifying something as "inferior" according to efficiency and availability is a bit biased when those criteria are influenced by adopting said resources in the first place. Something is made efficient and available, not naturally as is.
What is your definition of karma here as a law/concept? Because in fantasy/xianxia novels it can range from good/bad with some level of morality criteria to being more transactional and closer to causality "accounting" with link/interaction between entities. Because even in novel where it’s based on morality, there’s a trope of evil bouddhist sect we can see where they brainwash people to convert to Buddhism and still being able to gain karma/merit. Or somebody ascending to a higher world needed to "pay" his karma in term of resources he cost the realm to cultivate or a mortal dying because a powerful cultivator bowed to thank them because they can’t bear the karma. So there’s nothing stopping it to exist depending on how you frame it.
That’s only for their getting stepped on phase. How can they faceslap people during their revenge plot if they are concealed?
Other idea btw author if Eleanore continue research. Now it’s a treatment for full transformation, but in the future, it could also serve as a simpler purification pill/potion. Like a cultivation pill either blocking the absorbing itself during meditation or being able to slow/reverse the accumulated corruption. Just better than already existing solutions. That would only be for professional and since the cultivation gene is not out of control affecting the body, the fighting back of the beserk energy could be less pronounced so cheap and slow acting stuff would still work.
I have a slightly devious idea author for the spread of the method. Instead of targeting Gu Mo divinity, why don’t you make it so it rejects all divinity? 😈 or at least a severe backlash/allergic reaction when the patient is healed by a priest and not magic healing/formations. So the temples won’t be able to claim the method. But it also risks the temples coming way harder on this in addition to manipulating the population to frame it as heretic and suppressing it instead of stealing it depending on how you want to handle it. Secondly, an even more devious plan is to make this addition delayed. If talking about sabotaging the formation itself, it’s doable but I don’t know how it would be possible to do with the alchemy treatment itself at low cost. So instead of healing formation + treatment, you would have treatment + activating formation + formation/priest healing. You would need to modify the treatment a bit and introduce a "missing link" but this activation formation would be acting like a key making the treatment work replacing that slight alteration in the treatment. (She already need to make the treatment mass producible anyway) That small formation would be more mass producible. (And obviously sold expensively) Then you add something like a hidden circuit in the activation formation making priest healing possible/not possible that will wear down faster the reusability of the activation formation. After x number of use, it will interfere with priest healing or the best would be something remotely activable by Alex but it would require continent wide connectivity. Maybe use the connection Omnirune has with all rune-tech to ban a specific circuit that was talked in the past about rune-tech encryption. So after it becomes public, you trigger it to corner the dieties with the lie or usable far into the future when Alex will be in the open vs the gods where public opinion will matter a lot.
An origin flame was described as condensed providence in the early chapters in special environment. Special in term of linked with a type of providence and probably a lot of mana/natural energy across a long period of time.(And whatever special process it needs to form from the physical medium) Here it says that emotional energy is one of the carrier of providence and inversely need providence to move. And the sunheart bloom is also born of providence. Of kindness iirc. So it means they fuse and empower each other nicely. So it means that if a flame needs providence, a physical medium + energy and some kind of transformation for it to be born as "ingredient", you can use pure emotional energy to fuel said reaction. Now you just lack the actual natural transformation process. But since it can be born of a lot of stuff, it should be too picky. So take a bit of aetherkindle to prime the sunheartbloom to replicate the unknown transformation process and then inject it with pure emotional energy to create an independant new flame. A special array and plot armour will do the rest.
Yeah would have been a fun face slapping moment but not too good for the plot. The moment I read "poison beast curse" couple of chapters ago I knew that MF was gonna wiggle his way throught.
