Chapter 116 Lifespan Limits
"By the way, these are the fruits of the Spirit Tree. I picked some back then, and I can give them to Grobbot so he can study them."
When the topic turned to the world of Darles and the Tree of Spirits, Rhode casually took out a fruit he had collected from the Time Chamber and tossed it to Ella, while also revealing his plans.
Looking at the palm-sized fruit and recalling the effects Rhodes had mentioned, Ella couldn't help but feel a little doubtful: "This is the fruit of the Spirit Tree? Is it really that magical?"
"It's true that it can increase strength, but the increase is only so-so! That Darles has planted countless spirit trees and eaten countless fruits, but when I first met him, his combat power was only at the tens of thousands level."
The fruits of the Spirit Tree grown on Earth are more potent, each one increasing combat power by hundreds of thousands. However, the first fruit is the most effective; subsequent fruits don't provide such a significant boost.
Seeing Ella's curiosity, Rod smiled and explained how Darles had reacted after eating the fruit.
"My plan is to study this thing, figure out its principles, and then use those principles to develop techniques for fighting enemies. As for eating it, forget it. Not only does it not increase strength much, but I also don't know if there will be any unknown hidden dangers."
"That's true!"
Hearing Rod say this, Ella agreed quite a bit.
In reality, she was only curious about the effects of this product; even if she were given the chance to eat it, she wouldn't.
"After that, I went to a world where evil Namekians were causing chaos, and then I appeared in the world where those two little guys had grown up, or more precisely, the world where they had been modified."
During the conversation, Rod briefly recounted his experiences in the Slug world and the One-Armed Gohan world.
"I never imagined that the fates of the same people would differ so drastically in different parallel worlds!"
Listening to Rod recount what Number Seventeen and Number Eighteen had done after being modified, and then thinking of those two innocent little ones who were not even ten years old...
Ella couldn't connect the two at all.
After hearing Rod's words, Ella finally understood why Dr. Gero had collected the Dragon Balls and wished to change his personality before recruiting him.
However, the harm caused by such a brilliant scientist if he loses control and goes astray is truly immense.
Thinking of this, and looking at Rhodes in front of her, Ella couldn't help but think that she must have died in those other worlds too!
How have you been all these years while I was away?
After recounting his experiences, the two looked at each other, and Rod smiled as he inquired about Ella's experiences over the years.
"Nothing particularly eventful happened. I just trained, researched techniques, and lived a peaceful life. That's all."
When asked by Rhodes, Ella remained nonchalant, summarizing the past five years in a single sentence.
However, seeing how simply Ella spoke, Rhode was somewhat skeptical: "Really?"
After all, he had just returned when he witnessed a major battle.
"Of course, with my strength combined with the power of the Great Ape, what could possibly happen? It's naturally very peaceful, so peaceful it's almost boring!"
Seeing that Rhodes was somewhat skeptical, Ella quickly explained that as for the previous battle, she could have avoided it if she had wanted to.
After hearing what Ella said, and considering Ella's strength and the many methods she possessed, Rhode thought about it carefully and realized that it didn't seem to make much of a difference.
Although there are powerful beings in the universe who are no match for even us now, they generally don't pay any attention to Earth, a planet on the edge of the galaxy.
"Oh, by the way, I've also learned a lot of tricks. Do you want to learn them?"
Thinking of the many techniques he had mastered during this time travel, Rhodes couldn't help but ask Ella a question.
"certainly!"
Ella accepted these words without hesitation, but with a smile, she said, "I'll teach you the Self-Evolution Technique and the Self-Modification Technique as well."
Especially the self-transformation technique—you'll be pleasantly surprised once you learn it!
"Alright, let's begin!"
Upon hearing Ella's words, Rod did not hesitate and immediately began to humbly seek her advice.
In the days that followed, Rod and Ella began their studies and training.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Over the course of a year, under Ella's meticulous guidance, Rhodes successfully mastered the techniques of self-evolution and self-modification.
The Self-Evolution Technique is alright. Although it is somewhat similar to Self-Ease, it is at most a prototype and is still far from the true Self-Ease.
Although Rhode wasn't particularly suited to this technique, under Ella's persistent guidance, he successfully mastered it and doubled his power.
As for the effect of increasing power with fighting spirit, it will take more time to test.
The key is to learn and master self-transformation techniques.
As Ella stated, the Self-Modification Technique is a combination of restoration techniques and cell modification technology. It involves using one's ultimate control over Qi to modify one's own body and cells.
However, during the transformation process, recovery techniques were perfectly integrated to achieve the effect of giving the body abundant physical strength and super recovery ability.
The self-modification technique created by Ella was almost exactly as Rhodes had predicted. After successfully modifying herself, her body's recovery speed for injuries, stamina, and energy was greatly improved.
Besides that, what concerned Rhodes most was that the self-modification technique did indeed have the effect of maintaining youth and extending lifespan, just as he had guessed.
Dr. Gro's cell modification technology already possesses the effect of maintaining youth and extending lifespan. Although the current technology has not yet reached the level of later stages, when combined with the recovery surgery, the combined effect is stronger than the artificial human modification technology collected by Rhodes.
Having fully mastered the self-modification technique and modified himself, Rhodes could vaguely sense that his lifespan had been greatly extended, at least dozens of times longer than before.
Although Saiyans have a long adolescence, their actual lifespan is similar to that of humans on Earth, which is only about a hundred years.
However, after undergoing self-modification, Rhodes and Ella now have lifespans of several thousand years!
With a lifespan of thousands of years, there is no need to worry about the life force consumed when using the Time Chamber.
However, spiritual practice requires constantly pushing one's own limits.
During the period of rapid power enhancement, the Time Chamber can be used to reach the critical point in the shortest time. After reaching the critical point, the power enhancement begins to slow down, and simply spending time is no longer effective if you want to break through the limit.
With that in mind, Rhodes abandoned his unrealistic idea of using the Time Chamber to cultivate to invincibility in the shortest amount of time.
The self-modification technique's ability to quickly recover, provide abundant physical strength, and extend lifespan is indeed gratifying.
However, the current self-modification technique still falls short of Rhodes's envisioned effects.
First, the lifespan increase is not significant enough; second, while physical strength is plentiful, it also has its limits.
Finally, there's the recovery speed. Although it's fast now, it's only fast; it can't be called super-fast recovery, let alone instantaneous recovery.
In Rhodes's vision, the ultimate effect of this spell should be immortality, unlimited stamina, instant recovery, and even rebirth from a drop of blood.
Even more impressively, after successfully completing this surgery, one can then perform modifications on others!
