Fully trusting that Flor and the rest would deal with the town, Liu Shu focused on her system page and started planning. 'Do I go slowly, or do I spend everything and then control the energies?'
Liu Shu pondered, and as she thought, she remembered the book Verdantia gave her about <Cores>. 'Hm... The main reason that people usually fail in creating their <Core> is the lack of the big burst of stats they receive through the <Second Energy Cycle> breakthrough.'
The book didn't say this explicitly. Still, after reading it and analyzing it for a while, Liu Shu managed to guess what the problem was with creating <Ternary Cores> before Level 25. It was a solution that many overlooked because of how rare it was to fulfill. Even if someone suggested it in the past, they would've probably been either ignored or silenced, as it would make the creation of <Ternary Cores> unavailable for the grand majority of people.
Still, Liu Shu was not held back by those thought limitations or even in the same situation. She was a World Tree, full of energy and with incredibly profound reserves. 'If that's the case... I should be able to create the <Ternary Cores> with my current stat burst. I doubt it will be as big as the <Second Energy Cycle>. However, it should be large enough to let me compress my <Ternary Shards> into <Ternary Cores>.'
With that in mind, the World Tree chose to make a burst Level Up.
Accumulated Experience: 158,485
Level: 14 [0/19,950] -> [19,950/19,950]
Accumulated Experience: 138,535
Level: 15 [0/22,710] -> [22,710/22,710]
Accumulated Experience: 115,825
Level: 16 [0/25,630] -> [25,630/25,630]
Accumulated Experience: 90,195
Level: 17 [0/28,720] -> [28,720/28,720]
Accumulated Experience: 61,475
Level: 18 [0/31,970] -> [31,970/31,970]
Accumulated Experience: 29,505
Level 19: [0/35,380]
Liu Shu eventually poured almost everything she had into her Level, nearly reaching Level 20. What followed was a surge of energy comparable to what Liu Shu felt during the <Initial Cycle>.
Having already felt this surge, she was not overwhelmed. Instead, she cut most of her connection with the outside and focused her entire being on the torrents of energy rushing at her.
Instead of absorbing them as she usually did when the ternary essence from other Level Ups arrived, she tried to gain control over them. The stream of Phoer, Anima, and Aether rushed through her roots and made Liu Shu feel bloated. 'Ugh, I feel like my trunk is going to burst.'
However, she didn't give up and remembered the information that Verdantia gathered about <Ternary Cores>.
'To create a <Ternary Core>, I need to use the energy and focus it on a single point. Squeeze everything as if I was trying to concentrate it to a dot!'
The World Tree's aura surged, and she increased her spiritual pressure on the gathering energies. The aura around her body was heavy enough to be felt all around the Town, leaving many residents in awe during the time that it lasted.
Some people even climbed on top of the tree houses to look over them with reverent eyes. Powerful trees could usually manipulate such large energy quantities that they looked like superior entities to the rest of the creatures.
