Chapter 763 - 736: Tamu’s Gaze (Part 2)
The peak where Chen Shouyi was located wasn’t Mount Everest; it was an unknown peak within the Himalayas, at an altitude of seven to eight thousand meters.
The only similarity was the climate remained harsh, where drops of water froze instantly.
It was night.
Chen Shouyi held two little beings in his arms, listening to the sounds like ghost cries and wolf howls, unable to sleep for a long time.
...
The next day, it was still dark.
Chen Shouyi had already gotten up early. After gathering some water to wash up, he practiced the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Forms before coming to the large iron ball.
The enormous iron ball, as tall as seven stories, emitted an eerie glow under the dim light.
The nuclear radiation within had reached the level of uranium mines, prompting his body to autonomously generate a field of will for defense.
Although Chen Shouyi could hammer-blast a powerful divine power into submission, his body still composed of protein and genes, was similarly susceptible to impact.
Fortunately, the nuclear radiation for Chen Shouyi was merely an influence.
He didn’t even need to actively defend, as the cells’ pure willpower could easily fend off the radiation’s intrusion without much consumption.
"Let’s begin!"
He took a deep breath and strode forward.
As he approached, the massive metal ball suddenly seemed to turn into liquid, and its surface slowly indented to form a pit.
As he stepped inside, the metal reformed, engulfing him completely.
His body buried within the metal sphere, he proceeded to the center and then sat cross-legged, closing his eyes, nurturing his spirit, and remaining motionless for a long time.
After an hour of sitting silently, he finally began to move.
He entered the Memory Virtual World.
Time seemed to rewind to an hour earlier when he had just entered the sphere.
"What must be faced must ultimately be faced."
Chen Shouyi thought silently, his heart entirely calm, and within breaths, he plunged into the deepest layer of meditation.
A glimpse of divine radiance slowly emerged from the depths of his psyche.
Upon its appearance, the consciousness, long waiting for this moment, surged toward the divinity with the ferocity of a pack of wolves devouring a tiger.
Compared to the difficult struggle during the initial dream, this time it was seamless, as the consciousness easily broke through the protective barrier outside the divinity and aggressively probed into its periphery.
The next moment,
The scene within the dream reappeared.
"Boom!"
A terrible will pierced through layer upon layer of space and projected over...
"Huff!"
His heart skipped a beat, causing him to lose concentration and to be ejected from the Memory Virtual World.
Upon regaining his senses, he couldn’t help but feel elated.
"It really works."
Despite cold sweat breaking out all over his body and feeling somewhat weak, he still restrained the delight in his heart.
This tremor was much weaker than in the dream.
If the force in the dream was ten-fold, then this time, the strength was at least halved. Undoubtedly, his setup had worked.
...
Time passed day by day.
As the divinity was continuously refined, its light gradually dimmed, and he felt increasingly at ease.
Meanwhile, his will and perception entered a peak growth phase, even reaching a pace that shocked Chen Shouyi.
On the first day, his perception grew by 0.1, and will by 0.3 points.
On the second day, perception increased by 0.1 and will by 0.2 points.
On the third day, perception grew by 0.2 and will by 0.2 points.
...
On the tenth day, perception increased by 0.4 points, and will by 0.1 points.
In just ten days, perception rose by 1.8 points, reaching 26.8 points, and will rose by 1.6, reaching 26.6 points.
Especially perception, which transformed from a weakness to the highest attribute among all, with will becoming only second to agility, the third highest attribute.
This made Chen Shouyi both pleased and amazed.
Willpower was easier to understand, as each act of refining required him to endure the pressure from the existent being, providing significant hammering and testing to his will, and its growth pattern was logical.
But perception appeared somewhat mysterious and strange.
As refining continued, its growth not only didn’t slow but even accelerated.
From initially growing 0.1 points a day to now 0.4 points a day.
As if it was... absorbing nourishment from the divinity.
He wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.
For the time being, it was undoubtedly beneficial.
He didn’t spend all his time within the sphere, as he mostly remained outside. The expansion of perception caused Chen Shouyi’s perceptual range and depth to grow exponentially.
His field of perception could now cover a range of dozens of kilometers and a depth of hundreds of meters underground.
By the fifteenth day, his perception had reached an astonishing 29.1 points, and will also reached 27.0 points. Correspondingly, the divine radiance grew increasingly dim, fading almost to a flicker like a firefly.
...
This day, the sky was gloomy.
A blizzard was imminent.
Chen Shouyi fed the two little beings well and instructed them not to run around, to avoid being blown away by the storm.
The mountains here are steep and the wind strong. The two little creatures weighed less than a few grams, so carelessness could carry them away without a trace.
He returned to the iron ball.
For some reason, since early morning, he felt vaguely unsettled, as if something was happening.
"Perhaps I’m overthinking!" He shook his head.
These days, his endurance improved and refinement quickened, capable even of barely confronting the existent being.
Though it was only in the virtual world, and on Earth, compared to before, he had made obvious progress.
"Something’s not right!" Suddenly, Chen Shouyi furrowed his brows thoughtfully.
"Considering the progress, today might be the last day of refinement; could something unexpected happen?"
An ominous shadow shrouded his heart, increasingly giving him a premonition of impending warning.
"Better safe than sorry."
Chen Shouyi decisively halted his steps, looking at the iron ball before him.
...
"Boom!"
Like the explosion of muffled thunder, the ground shook.
With a thought, a massive mountain suddenly turned to dust; countless heavy metal atoms were extracted and transformed into a black stream of matter, spanning tens of kilometers and weighing thousands of tons, like a divine cord hung in the sky, rapidly merging into the metal ball on the ground.
With 27 points of will, close to the strength of a weak divine power, and that was in the Tam World.
Half a month ago, it took him dozens of hours to dismantle a mountain, and now, it took less than 0.1 seconds.
The nearby mountains shattered one by one, and the sky was painted yellow by wind and sand.
It was an incredibly awe-inspiring scene, like a miracle unfolding on Earth.
In just over an hour, twenty-one peaks of the Himalayas disappeared forever from Earth.
At this moment, Chen Shouyi’s expression slightly changed:
"Trouble!"
The sudden loss of weight caused the plates to become unstable and the ground to tremble incessantly.
He penetrated a thousand meters underground with his will, and after pondering for 0.01 seconds, came up with a strategy, using his will to continuously nudge the plates, preparing to prematurely release the pressure within the plates.
Soon, the ground slowly rose into a bulge.
Seconds later.
A volcano emerged from the ground, spewing surging lava.
