The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

"Do you see those people over there, deep in thought with their paper and pens? Look at how much they trust the Qian Commerce Association."

Qian Duoduo pointed his chubby finger in a direction.

Following his gaze, Long Xuan indeed saw a group of people with paper and pens, some sitting on steps, others on rocks. They all wore expressions of intense concentration, some even scratching their heads in frustration, seemingly using up countless brain cells.

"If you don't have the intelligence, don't waste your brain cells. Intelligence is innate; it cannot be forced."

Seeing so many people planning to bid, Long Xuan finally believed Qian Duoduo's words and felt relieved.

When it comes to imagination, who in this world can match him? He dares to claim second place, and no one would dare claim first, even in the imaginative world of his previous life.

Confidently, Long Xuan took out his paper and pen, ready to unleash a brainstorming and secure the top bid.

Seeing Long Xuan's excited expression, Qian Duoduo secretly laughed, having successfully fooled another one. Young people today are so easy to deceive; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

He wasn't lying; the Integrity Gu indeed had an irresistible binding ability.

Qian Jinjin valued that stone king highly. In her view, this stone king might produce a peak-grade Gu insect, so only an ability equal to a peak-grade Gu insect would justify giving it away without loss.

In other words, her standard was to develop a high-quality Gu insect into a combat level comparable to a peak-grade Gu insect, which is impossible. Even a god couldn't do it.

This was a task that no one could complete, and no one would win the bid. She was just playing with people.

She never intended to give away the stone king; her standard was beyond human capability, and in the end, everyone would lose.

Qian Duoduo marveled at young lady's cunningness again, so deceitful, gaining everyone's wisdom for nothing, This was simply a free-for-all.

And it wouldn't cause dissatisfaction, making them unknowingly contribute their ideas willingly. This trick was brilliant.

Qian Duoduo grinned wickedly, seeing Long Xuan standing still, lost in thought. He added, "This bidding lasts for a month. You came at an unfortunate time; today is the last day, with less than an hour left before it ends. I hope you can come up with a good ability in such a short time."

With that, Qian Duoduo turned and left, seeking the next target. He had to repeat the same words to more people, hoping for more to come and willingly offer their ideas.

At this moment, Long Xuan, oblivious to the outside world, was experiencing an unprecedented brainstorming in his mind.

With his eyes closed, the first thing to confirm was not to go off-topic. The light Gu insect's ability is to control light, not just any light-related ability.

So, light-speed kicks, light-speed movement, and elementalization were out of the question; the light Gu insect couldn't achieve them.

Controlling light could derive many abilities, and the first thing Long Xuan thought of was a flashbang that could blind people. This is the simplest usage.

Humans see objects because light reflects off their surfaces and enters the eyes through reflection and refraction.

If light doesn't reflect, humans would be in complete darkness, seeing nothing.

Thus, controlling light could develop an ability to deprive opponents of their vision.

Extending this further, controlling the light that reflects off oneself could grant invisibility.

If one could control the light reflected from distant objects to bend into their eyes, they could see things miles away, developing a long-range vision ability.

If light on the ground didn't reflect, it would be absorbed, causing the ground to heat up, eventually forming lethal high temperatures, turning the earth into a scorching furnace—this would be a forbidden technique.

If one could alter the reflection of light, causing erroneous visuals, like seeing an enemy on the left when they're on the right, it would be a terrifying ability, causing headaches for any opponent.

This isn't even the scariest part. If the light Gu insect's growth were high enough, it could control light over a region, plunging it into eternal darkness, creating a night-walking technique.

Long Xuan's imagination ran wild, continuing to diverge...

Light can disperse into red, orange, yellow, green, blue (indigo), and violet.

It can also break down into ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, X-rays, Y-rays, and radio waves.

Infrared rays can accelerate metabolism, promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and pain, and enable thermal imaging and night vision.

Ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and Y-rays cause cancer and other hazards to humans. This could develop into a death ray ability by extracting all harmful rays from light.

The uses of radio waves are countless...

Long Xuan's mind was exploding...

He quickly thought of developing light's attack power.

Aside from lasers, consider the principle of burning paper with a convex lens.

A convex lens refracts light, converging it at one point, generating enough heat to burn paper.

Modern technology can't make large enough convex lenses, so the light converges are limited, making the destructive power negligible.

But a light-controlling Gu insect is different; it can gather as much light as desired without any tools.

When light within a hundred miles converges at one point, the destructive power would be unimaginable. Long Xuan didn't dare to think about it.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this attack power has no upper limit because light in this world is infinite.

When gathered light has no upper limit, the resulting destructive power is infinite.

Under such world-ending attack power, even lasers couldn't compare, making laser development unnecessary.

With so many ideas, when it comes to developing light abilities, even Kizaru would be no match. His creativity in this world is overwhelming.[1]

He felt that any ability he drew out would be enough to secure the top bid.

1. For those who don't know, kizaru is a one-piece character with light power.
