Having broken free from the limitations of the body, his spirit body did not undergo any enhancement.
Tang had long anticipated this.
Even in spirit body form, the System's voice could still resonate deep within his spirit. The connection between the System and him was not only manifested in the physical body; the binding above the spirit body was clearly even closer.
"This connection must be severed to unlock the special nature of my spirit body."
The descent of the Knowledge Wilderness's mad secrets had directly flung him out of his body, leaving the System behind along with his physical form. Only then could he解除 the System's suppressive effect on his own level.
Therefore, if he wanted to raise his own level, the System's binding could not be on his spirit body.
Tang looked at his own body.
The young man sitting there had his head lowered, seemingly having fallen asleep sitting up.
A hazy light enveloped his body. These faint rays transformed into countless invisible fine threads, binding the spirit body to the physical body to prevent any real accidents with the spirit body that would prevent it from returning to the body, leading to true death.
'Host, I'm starting.'
The spirit body stood in the classroom. Tang raised his hand, and he could feel his body getting lighter.
It was a very subtle feeling, not just the abnormality of the spirit body.
It was as if the invisible shackles he had been carrying were being peeled off layer by layer, unloading the burden.
The System's voice grew farther and fainter. Tang could feel the connection between the System and him rapidly weakening. Then, the body that had lost its spirit slowly raised its head.
Something began to take control of his body and was rapidly severing the connection between the spirit body and the body, and between the body and the System.
[Violation Warning: Unauthorized detachment from host—]
[You have violated the rules! Please rebind immediately!]
System: 'Can't understand, can't understand, sseumnida.'
[?]
The System was trying to change its binding target.
It had experienced rebinding once before. Although replicating it was somewhat difficult, it had ultimately succeeded.
And Tang's level, after detaching from the System, rapidly increased.
Just as he had thought, the System itself was a limiter, preventing his level from forcibly increasing to a point where it couldn't be suppressed and he would 'see' terrifying things.
And this time, without the Knowledge Wilderness's mad knowledge escorting him and providing power, it was truly a fall into the Old Days.
The surrounding scenes flickered, and rich colors were constantly overlapping on the real world.
This was the spirit world.
As another world completely overlapping with the real world, the 'Observer' level could simultaneously perceive the overlapping parts of the spirit world and the real world.
He found that he could easily perceive the existence of the spirit world. Even without meditation or divination, he could still obtain the answers he needed from the endless torrent of information.
But this was also accompanied by terrifying negative effects.
The countless torrents of information were rapidly surging towards him. Compared to relying on normal means, that is, liberating his level through the power of the Knowledge Wilderness, there were no corresponding protective measures during this forced increase in level, meaning the ability to reject the constantly transmitted information and images from the surroundings.
His level was like a reader browsing millions of words of a book at the speed of light every second.
These words were not terrifying in themselves, but merely 'observing' this flood-like information flow was fatal enough!
"Like mad knowledge," Tang experienced this feeling.
But he quickly discerned that what made both mad knowledge and this information flow terrifying was knowledge. However, the former was contamination, the level inherent in the knowledge itself, with the information content being secondary, making it indigestible and leading to the ultimate 'head explosion.' The latter was purely the amount of information, which could make one's head literally blossom.
The two might have differences, but both were lethal enough for Tang.
Without the support of divinity, he was passive and difficult to resist.
He could see the surrounding scenes, overlapping color blocks, information materializing, countless frantically twisting spirit threads appearing from all directions, layer upon layer. Because there was too much information, one layer on top of another, he had already begun to see the specific appearances of the surrounding things unclearly.
Seeing this scene, he noticed that his own spirit body was showing signs of collapse. His spirituality was rapidly depleting, and without the connection to his body, if he didn't return to his body immediately, the only outcome awaiting him was the exhaustion of his spirituality and the death of his spirit body!
Without the support of a body as an outer shell to isolate some of the information, the surrounding information was like a tide, about to engulf him!
At this moment, something within Tang's spirit body automatically emitted a faint light.
It was the 'Mosaic Glasses for Observing Stars.'
Sensing things that children should not see, this System-exclusive item began to play its due role.
If the Knowledge Wilderness intended it to prevent him from dying from seeing some terrifying Old Ones, then now its role was to spontaneously isolate the vast information flow that could drive him mad and kill him.
The rich color blocks were covered with countless thick mosaics. Tang, who was already a spirit body, clearly shouldn't have the action of breathing, but he still subconsciously took two breaths.
"Is it done?"
"Done, done."
Tang looked at his body. His body was now standing up, and there were subtle changes in his body. The feeling Tang got was naturally no longer the same.
From the Observer's perspective, the System was like a liquid flowing in substance, passing through the internal organs and blood vessels, subtly influencing and temporarily sealing the countless Extraordinary characteristics that roamed within the flesh and blood tissues—
It regarded the body as a Sealed Artifact, using the 'Craftsman' to use his body as the foundation and the System itself as the material to create a demigod-level Extraordinary item!
Without the presence and interference of the spirit body, it was very difficult and dangerous. With a slight carelessness, this body would be affected by the demigod-level Extraordinary characteristics, but it had clearly succeeded.
The binding changed from the spirit body to the physical body. In this way, the System's influence on the host (body) would be minimized, and it would be enough for the System to temporarily replace the host's body for a short time, briefly becoming Sequence Four (body part).
With the System as the dominant force, suppressing the Seer pathway potion in the body, what was externally manifested was Sequence Four, a fusion of spiritual power and divine power.
That was the Extraordinary characteristic of a Sequence Four Alchemist belonging to the System!
Tang walked up to his body. The System looked at him and then nodded.
Tang, in the form of a Wraith, returned to his body.
The spirit body returned, the System relinquished control, and Tang controlled his own body in the manner of a Wraith manipulating a possessed person.
Divinity, he had it.
Level, enough.
Come on, open the door.
False·Weak·Almost Mad·Demigod·Tang directed the System.
'Opening the 'Observer' module.'
The surrounding light and shadow overlapped, flickering on and off.
