Chapter 2005 - The Great Cycle Buzz! A few seconds later, my sword buzzed, and it began to melt before it transformed into silver-red molten metal, and I am getting a pull from it; it is demanding the resources for its upgrade. Seeing that, I tried to summon my storage ring, and to my shock, my storage ring had appeared on my finger. The ring is not fake; The thing I materialized with my imagination but a real thing. I could feel it real and could see things inside it. Basic Inheritance Core could not do this; they can not bring real-world things into the core until it reaches a high level and creates a real dimension inside it, but for something like that to happen, the core needed to reach the very advanced level. Even having a creation material, if I were to give my answer for it, then it had likely happened due to the combination of things. Like the creation material, rule-bending power, time and space resources, and even stardust of remdon. It is an interesting topic, and I would love to dwell on it more, but now, my totem artifact is hungering for the resources, and I have to give the resources to it. I did not waste any time and summoned out resources; there are a huge number of resources, especially metals and ores. I have paid special attention to metals in my adventures and collected every scrap; I have found it useful; in case I have needed it for the advancements of my totem artifact. I began to take out all the scrap I had and started to throw it at the swirl, which is taking it all. I am quite surprised at the sheer volume of the resources the swirl is consuming. From having a diameter of less than half a meter, it had turned into a huge blob that has a radius of more than ten meters, and it is still growing as it continues to swallow more and more resources. Its size is not the only thing that had changed, its color had also changed from having a silver-red color to turning entirely back, and now it looked quite scary as it swallowed one resource after another. Soon, its size has reached the sixteen-meter diameter, and it had stopped swallowing the metals; though it still has its hunger, it just now is hungering for something different. Thankfully I have what it needs and started to throw away herbal resources at it. I started with low-level resources before moving to high-level ones; even the lowest level resources I had thrown at it was Tyrant grade, and regular unranked Tyrants would fight to the death for it. The herbal essences had not changed their size, but they had changed their color, from black; it had turned to brown. Buzz! Finally, after six minutes, I had stopped throwing the herbal resources on it. Its hunger has been satiated, and it buzzed as violet runes began to appear on it. Within a minute, the violet runes have covered every inch of the blob. The blob started spinning slowly, and as it spun, its size began to shrink slowly. Thick polluted smoke begins to release from it as it spins, which is quickly absorbed by the pink clouds above; they begin to thicken as they absorb the thick brown smoke released from it. Three minutes passed by, and in these three minutes, the size of the blob had reduced to a third of what it was, and it had stopped releasing the dense smoke. Its color had also changed, and now it had turned white, though it is still shrinking with every spin. Crackle Crackle Crackle Suddenly, a crackling sound began to ring out from clouds above; they felt like a real cloud and made them sound like the real clouds make before they bring down the rain. Pata Pata Pata I had just thought that when the rain started falling and to my surprise, the train looked just like the normal rain but it was anything but normal rainfall. Each drop of rain is filled with high-density energy, and when it fell on the ground, I felt the quality of the earth improve by a tiny fraction; not only that, I felt the quality of the energy in the island increse by a fraction. The rain had only lasted for a minute, but it had brought a significant change. Seeing what just happened, I am in awe of my core; what it had just done is beyond amazing. It had taken the impurities released by blob and converted it into something meaningful. It is akin to what the real world does, and we have a term for it, 'The Great Cycle.' Thud Thud Thud Two more minutes had passed when another change occurred in the blob; it started to release a white-colored turd which people like my teacher called peerless mold. The turd it releases impurities are a very precious mold for other people, and it is kept releasing one after another, and with each release, its size would shrink. It releases the turd for about one and half a minute, releasing about forty-nine pieces, and by that time, its size shrunk to half a meter radius, and it had turned completely colorless. Hun! I thought now my sword would take a shape, as it had happened in the past, but something entirely different happened. Buzz! One-forth part of the blob tore itself and fell down; it had directly fallen on the shield before seeping inside it while the formation on the main blob buzzed and lighted up so brightly that I could not see what was happening inside. My eyes couldn't help but be excited seeing that, soon, my totem artifact would reveal itself, and I couldn't help but wonder about the new advancements it would have. Till now, whenever my totem artifact upgraded, it had always given me great surprise with its advancements, and this time would be no different.
