The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5065

Not all universes were created equal.

According to the body cultivation method that his mother originally showed to him, it was impossible to create an entirely new internal space in one's body just by wishing for it really hard.

If imagination enabled any cultivator to become inextinguishable and all-power, then the cosmos would have been crawling with trillions of True Gods by this time!

Everything had a price. Even cultivation could not escape this fundamental rule.

Most life forms did not possess powerful minds and spirits from the start.

Their mental and spiritual energies could not possibly support the creation of a construct as absurd as a miniature internal space!

The creation of exceptionally powerful and reality-defying artistic conceptions imposed such high demands that cultivators needed to borrow external assistance.

It was actually quite simple to understand. If the cultivator's own ability to manipulate the power of heaven and earth was not enough to produce the desired result, then he could leverage the condensed spiritual attributes of powerful objects in order to meet the massive energy demand!

Ves thought it was no different from a mech pilot defeating a powerful opponent by hopping into the cockpit of a mech.

The key here was that not every resource that was rich with high quality energies fit a specific cultivation method.

A cultivator trying to become the ultimate flame that could burn the heavens or whatever would likely not be able to gain as much if he obtained a chunk of exotic ice.

Unless the cultivation method was sophisticated enough to deal with opposing or incompatible elements in an internally consistent manner, the use of inappropriate resources would only contaminate the practitioner's spirituality and ruin his artistic conception!

Fortunately, the body cultivation method that Ves took a lot of inspiration from took all of this messy stuff into account.

It was flexible and versatile enough to be able to work with nearly any sort of potent resource!

The only demand was that it possessed a large enough quantity of high-grade energies.

The overall element and nature of the exotic resource largely influenced what kind of universe could be born with its energies.

A purple flame might cause most of the stars in the universe to burn purple.

A piece of ore with an unusual high density might cause all of the stellar objects to be 10 times heavier than normal.

A bottle of mystical water could cause most planets in the internal universe to be covered by water!

All sorts of odd phenomena might occur. The key takeaway from these possibilities was that the laws of nature of the new internal universe could be substantially different from the main universe.

This was why Ves possessed a certain amount of confidence that it was possible to have Blinky form a completely imaginary universe.

He did not forget that it was best to double-check his work with his mother before he started to cultivate his own work.

In any case, Ves first needed to get his hands on a high-energy material or object to open up the new internal universe!

This was why he descended from the mountain top until he reached the clearing where the Wishing Fountain awaited his arrival.

He already held a radiant lottery ticket in his hand.

The function of the Wishing Fountain gave him a bit of confidence in his upcoming lottery draw.

Unlike the completely random lottery draws from the past, Ves had the option of specifying the category of possible prizes in the pool!

While the Wishing Fountain did not permit Ves to be too specific in his demands, he could at least ensure his ticket did not produce anything irrelevant such as a random mech or a useless alien sculpture.

As Ves raised the ticket to his face and thought hard on his desired wish.

"Please give me an object or material that is extremely dense and packed with high-grade energies. It needs to possess enough powerful energies to support the birth of a new universe."

He could feel the Wishing Fountain responding to his demand. His wish had primed it in the right direction, or at least Ves assumed this was the case.

After he firmly settled his mind on what kind of prize he wanted to obtain, he decisively tossed the ticket into the fountain!

The water contained in the pool began to light up in rainbow colors as the radiant lottery ticket dissolved in an instant.

Waves of energy escaped from the Wishing Fountain as it became more and more active.

Once the light show had reached its peak, a tall pillar rose from the chromatic pool of water!

The pillar made out of a golden material continued to rise and rise until it had reached a height of approximately 200 meters!

Ves widened his eyes in astonishment as his head tilted further and further upwards.

His evolved vision enabled him to detect small markings that were evenly spread along the length of the golden pillar.

He figured that each of them represented a different prize.

"Let me guess. The most valuable prizes are at the top, am I correct?"

How was he supposed to draw his prize?

It wasn't until a square platform emerged in front of the pillar that Ves had a good idea what the Wishing Fountain came up with this time.

"You want me... to hit this giant button?"

The entire imagery of this spectacle reminded him of those old-fashioned strength tester attractions that were common in fairs and amusement parks.

No matter the era, there were always people out there that wanted to test their might in public and boast about their prodigious strength in front of their family and friends!

Ves looked confused. These gadgets were primarily a test of strength and skill. Chance had little to do with the results. It made little sense to use this to draw a specific prize.

"That is unless the best and most desirable prizes are situated at specific heights."

Ves had no idea how much force he needed to deliver in order to make this strength tester reach a certain height.

He could only judge according to his intuition.

Right now, he could vaguely guess that his physical strength was far from enough to reach the top.

"I feel my limit should be around 160 to 180 meters." He vaguely guessed.

Ever since his recent sublimation that somehow turned him into a phase lord, his physical strength had increased by a significant margin. Phasewater shenanigans somehow increased the real size of his body by a modest margin, but kept his physical dimensions constant.

In fact, Veronica had grown a lot larger and thicker than her original cat-sized form due to her substantially higher phasewater concentration!
