310 Initiation
With brilliant eyes of excitement and expectation, he went on, 'Unlike the common types of Energy Pathways which can't travel to every part of the body such as the head and the brain, blood vessels send blood literally to every part, denoting every corner of the human physique! The bones, brain, flesh, internal organs, etc. blood will basically flow and circulate in every part of the figure through the blood vessels… so, this way, I'll literally have even more superior Energy Pathways than the common types as it will be interconnected everywhere.'
'And… most important of all, blood vessels are the utmost natural passage you can possibly find within the human race and the human body! Which according to the 'Naturalist' Theory, since it's the most natural thing, it should also be the ultimate perfection itself!' He muttered contently before adding, 'Alright… that's it! I shall do it now! That makes me wonder though… what would the addition of the utmost superior substance ever heard of result in when it's utilized in order to create the most natural type of Energy Pathway in existence!' By the end of his pondering process, he was almost impatient to finish the creation procedure as soon as possible.
'Hmm… although the other choices are rather tempting too, I don't believe, not even for a single second, that they would come out superior when compared to my own self-designed set of Energy Pathways!' After a momentary pause at this point, he continued, 'That's my decision then, though this design can be considered as an uncharted territory with unknown risks, I like these types of rational and scientific risks, to be honest! So… let's just do it!' With his mind already set on his decision, an unfaltering wave of determination began to course through his cloud of consciousness before he added a concluding thought to his deliberation, 'It's time to activate the Art!'
'『Origin Passage Creation Art』!'
As he activated it, immediately, a rush of emotions barged into his head. Virus instantly knew it was asking him to choose between one of the options.
『Select one of the following design options for the mapping of your Energy Pathways:』
〈1.Common Human Origin Design〉
〈2. Zenith Saint Origin Design〉
〈3. Heavenly Dragon Origin Design〉
〈4. Hegemonic ***** Origin Design〉
〈5. Prodigious Asura Origin Design〉
…
〈12. Manual Origin Design〉
'I select the twelfth option! The Manual Origin Design!' He exclaimed internally.
With his selection complete, that strange emotions disappeared entirely. Next, the [Mysterious Blood of Undisclosed Origins] that was hovering in front of his consciousness this entire time started to tremble and shake non-stop.
A few seconds elapsed. All of sudden, the drop dashed into his mass of consciousness, however, the moment it entered his mass of consciousness which you could almost see-through… the dark blood vanished!
Meanwhile, in the outside world, within his left hand, in the location where 'Origin' was hidden, a drop of glowing jet-black blood came into existence.
The moment it appeared, however, it started to assimilate into his body.
Simultaneously, within his body, the moment Virus activated the art and selected the twelfth option, after the blood initiated its assimilation and fusion process, Virus gained a strange authority over his body.
This authority was not like the control a human being usually holds over his body like being able to move his hands or legs. No, it was more like he had control over his cells or a feeling similar to that. He had this delusion that whatever he desired, would be created and added into his body!
Moreover, he had a 3D omniscient picture displaying itself within his brain. He was simultaneously able to witness and gaze upon every part of his body down to the cellular level!
'What a strange yet confounding feeling… is this how a god feels? To be capable of creating whatever one desires? To be able to see everything at the same time? Damn… this feeling is so addicting and out of this world…' After marveling at the otherworldly sensation he was receiving for a while, he finally decided to put aside his sense of astonishment and begin the process.
'Hmm, I can see every single blood vessel within my body at the same time! Now it doesn't matter if it's a vein, an artery, an arteriole, a capillary, or a venule… I can practically see it all! This makes the process much easier to be truthful.' Extremely satisfied with this plus point he wasn't expecting at all, Virus uttered.
'Let's get started.' As this notion passed through his head, he utilized his comprehension over the 『Origin Passage Creation Art』 and tried commencing the construction of his Energy Pathways within one of his blood vessels.
However, the moment he had made an attempt, an odd emotional sensation transmitted into his brain, an emotion which he understood immediately without the need for him to translate it at all.
'Hmm… so it's telling me at the very maximum, I can only create nine pairs of Energy Pathways, meaning eighteen in number. And half of that needs to be 'Yin' while the other half needs to be 'Yang'.'
'A normal Energy Pathway includes six pairs of passages which amounts to twelve in number. … but this…' He went entirely quiet at the end of his words.
After what felt like a long time, he proceeded, 'Fortunately, there are no specific limitations on the length of each Energy Pathway, otherwise, accomplishing what I have in mind would've been nothing but a pipe dream!'
'As to dividing it into Yin and Yang… let's just go with adjusting the veins 'Yin' in nature and the arteries 'Yang' and the rest should be…' Afterward, he went on a long contemplation of what should be Yin and what should be Yang in nature. Of course, he also utilized his knowledge about the traditional information he had regarding Yin and Yang.
And with that, the process of the reconstruction of a new brand of Energy Pathway which the world had never seen prior to this day was initiated!
