Chapter 5: Extremely Low Sense of Presence"Fate… Reversal Heavenly Demon?" the Snow Empress repeated the name, feeling a hint of ominousness and domineeringness within it."Yes," Dai Youheng continued to explain, "The core effect of the pill is indeed enhancement, but it seems to produce extremely specific changes based on the attached spirit ring. Moreover, according to the information from my Spirit, if the attached spirit ring reaches a hundred thousand years or more, each spirit ring will grant two Spirit Abilities. The first Spirit Ability will definitely be some kind of enhancement pill, while the second Spirit Ability will produce completely different effects based on the type and characteristics of the absorbed Spirit Beast. This is no longer limited to enhancement; it could be healing, attack, or other special effects.""That is, one enhancement pill plus one special effect pill."He paused, focusing his consciousness on that seven hundred thousand year spirit ring, sensing it carefully. "For example, your seven hundred thousand year spirit ring grants me two Spirit Abilities...""Spirit Ability One: Enhancement Pill, snow soul condensing ice pill." Above Dai Youheng's palm, beside the illusion of the black pill, an illusion of an ice-blue, flawlessly transparent pill, within which seemed to swirl wind and snow, appeared to condense. "Refining this pill grants the user a'Snow Soul Ice Muscle' state. The effect is extreme immunity to physical attacks and ice-type damage, while greatly enhancing control over ice elements, temporarily gaining the attribute of Ultimate Ice."The Snow Empress nodded slightly upon hearing this. This effect was already quite powerful, a top-tier single-target defense and amplification enhancement, especially with the addition of the Ultimate Ice attribute. For any Spirit Master, it was invaluable; this pill could temporarily enhance any Spirit Master into an Ultimate attribute Spirit Master.Dai Youheng then continued, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief, "Spirit Ability Two: Special Effect Pill, Ice Sky Snow Maiden Sacred Heart Pill."As he spoke, the illusion of another pill emerged. This pill was not perfectly round, but rather like a flawless, exquisite snowflake, emanating a soft yet pure cold light of life, as if it gathered the essence of extreme cold and extreme life from heaven and earth into one."This pill contains the energy source of the core life you, Ice Sky Snow Maiden, absorbed from the Extreme North Land. Its effect is..." Dai Youheng took a deep breath and slowly enunciated, "To be given to any severely wounded, critically ill, or even recently deceased target. The pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, immediately releasing the purest life-sustaining cold energy, perfectly 'freezing' the user's entire life state, including soul fluctuations, physical damage, and energy dissipation, at the exact moment the pill is taken!""This is an absolute protective freeze, forcibly locking the last shred of life, preventing its complete dissipation between heaven and earth. Subsequently, the essence of the ice and snow Spirits' life contained within the pill, as well as the hundred thousand year snow lotus heart you absorbed, begin to take effect. It acts like the World's most precise carving knife, using Ultimate Ice as its material and the laws of life as its mold, rapidly reconstructing the damaged body from the most microscopic cellular level, repairing all injuries, reattaching severed limbs, and purifying all toxins and foreign energies. Theoretically, as long as the soul has not completely dissipated, it can pull them back from the brink of death and reshape their body!""How is this possible?" Even the Snow Empress, who had lived for nearly seven hundred thousand years and witnessed countless storms, was now utterly astonished, her soul fluctuations rising and falling violently. "In short... this is a divine pill with the power to revive the dead! No wonder... no wonder this Spirit is named fate reversal heavenly demon pill; it truly is a demonic pill that defies heaven and changes fate, going against all common sense!"This effect had completely exceeded the limits of her imagination; this was simply not something an ordinary food system Spirit Master could achieve. This was a miracle!"Of course, this second Spirit Ability, the Ice Sky Snow Maiden Sacred Heart Pill, also has limitations." Dai Youheng recovered his composure from the shock and added, "Firstly, it can only revive beings at the same life level as me. In other words, I am currently a mortal life, so it has no effect whatsoever on beings that have reached the God level, unless I also reach the God level and allow this Spirit Ability to evolve into a divine ability. Secondly, it is extremely difficult to refine, and only one can be refined every two years. However, it can be stacked.""Ineffective against God-level beings, that's fine; where are there any God-level powerhouses on this continent? As for one every two years, stackable?" The Snow Empress immediately understood the implications. This meant that this Spirit Ability would automatically refresh its usage count every two years, but if the pill refined that year was not used, it would not disappear and could accumulate! After ten years, one could possess five heaven-defying divine pills with the effect of reviving the dead!Although there were limitations, this effect was enough to drive any force or any powerhouse mad!The Snow Empress seemed to see infinite hope; this young man named Dai Youheng, his potential and future were absolutely unfathomable! Her sacrifice might truly have turned a misfortune into a blessing, stumbling upon an immense opportunity!Since the Spirit Beasts completely ignored Dai Youheng, their journey became exceptionally smooth. Soon, they passed through the core and outer regions of the Extreme North Land and arrived at the area of human activity.The outline of a seemingly sturdy town, built against a mountain range, appeared in the distance.Although it was said to be the town closest to the Extreme North Land, it was actually hundreds of miles away. After all, apart from places like Shrek City where monsters gathered, ordinary towns would never dare to be built near Spirit Beast gathering places; a small beast tide would be enough to flatten them.However, just as Dai Youheng was preparing to enter this town named "North Wind Town" with the sparse flow of people, something even stranger happened.The guards at the city gate leaned against the gate, yawning lazily, indifferent to the people entering and exiting, but occasionally scanning the crowd.But when Dai Youheng walked past them, the two guards' gazes seemed to pass directly through him, landing on an old farmer pushing a cart behind him, and they impatiently urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!"People came and went on the town streets, peddlers hawked their wares, and pedestrians hurried along.Dai Youheng walked among the crowd, yet he felt as if he was watching a silent movie.No one looked at him, no one cast curious glances at his unfamiliar face, and even people walking towards him would very naturally walk around him, as if he were just a human-shaped mass of air. The entire process was incredibly smooth, and the other party didn't even have any subconscious evasive reaction."Am I... invisible?" A ridiculous thought arose in Dai Youheng's mind. He tried waving his hand in front of a vendor selling dried meat, but the vendor showed no reaction. He simply walked to the center of the street and stood there.As a result, a bizarre scene unfolded.All pedestrians, upon approaching him, altered their path with an almost instinctive, imperceptible curve, perfectly avoiding him, yet not a single person realized why they were doing so, nor did anyone look up at him. He was like an invisible reef; the flow of people automatically separated and then rejoined.He finally couldn't help himself.Seeing a well-dressed businessman-like person walking with his head down looking at a piece of parchment, Dai Youheng took a deep breath. As the man walked in front of him, he suddenly shouted, "Hey!""Whoa!" The businessman jumped, startled, and the parchment in his hand fell to the ground. Still shaken, he looked up and finally saw Dai Youheng standing in front of him. Immediately, he became furious, pointing at Dai Youheng's nose and cursing, "What are you doing? Popping out and yelling like a ghost! Are you crazy! You scared me to death!"After cursing, he sullenly picked up the parchment, muttering "how unlucky," and quickly walked away.Dai Youheng stood rooted to the spot, stunned.The other party could see him, hear him, and touch him; he was not invisible!But why? As long as he didn't actively and strongly try to attract others' attention, everyone would subconsciously and completely ignore his existence?It was as if his sense of presence was incredibly low!"So that's how it is!" Dai Youheng murmured to himself, his face showing not frustration, but a strange and enlightened smile. He recalled certain works he had seen in his previous life.Like Mai Sakurajima's Adolescence Syndrome, or Kuroko from Kuroko's Basketball.The Snow Empress in his mind finally understood at this moment. Her voice was filled with unprecedented surprise and a hint of exasperation, "It seems you've noticed too! I finally understand, Youheng, you're not invisible, and the reason others don't notice you is because your'sense of presence' is almost nonexistent!""I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years and seen all kinds of beings, Spirit Beasts, humans, and even human-beast hybrids, but I have never seen anyone with such a low sense of presence as you! This is almost a rule-level oversight."Perhaps, even the Snow Empress wouldn't have noticed him originally.But the way he descended into this World was too grand, a meteor falling from the sky directly smashing a Titled Douluo. It would have been difficult for the perceptive Snow Empress, who was so close, not to notice him.
