Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1558 - 748_2

As his gaze swept over the waters encircling the island, he keenly sensed the shift in underlying laws.

Ever since the Spirit Attribute broke through the 80-point threshold, the Inner World had undergone a reconstruction.

The island’s area expanded exponentially, the land’s borders stretched outward, and the edges were filled up with water.

Now, this was no longer a piece of land floating in the void, but a true island in every sense.

Moreover, with the infusion of torrential rain, the nascent ocean continued to expand without any sign of stopping.

Fang Cheng’s eyes slightly focused, and he descended from the sky, his toes gracefully landing on the turbulent sea.

The once raging waves, upon contact with his feet, calmed like tamed beasts.

He bent slightly, reached out his hand, and casually scooped up a handful of seawater.

The water did not slip through his fingers; instead, it rapidly gathered in his palm, forming a crystal-clear water ball, slowly rotating with his intention.

Fang Cheng’s eyes shone brightly, with a faint golden glow appearing deep in his eyes.

The vision abruptly zoomed in, instantaneously shifting to a microscopic level, capturing every detail within the water ball.

He clearly saw numerous translucent, gelatinous microorganisms stretching and wriggling in the water, in various forms.

Their numbers were far denser than in inland rivers, and they contained significantly more Life Energy.

Yet they remained at the most primitive cellular stage, far from evolving into true life forms like fish or shrimp.

"Perhaps, they lack a catalyst..."

Fang Cheng watched the water ball, rotated his wrist, and let the water disperse back into the sea.

The transformation of the Inner World clearly couldn’t be achieved solely through the accumulation of Spiritual Energy.

The richness of matter and the abundance of energy were merely fundamentals.

To elevate this world from a "phantom projection" to a "world with life cycles," a complete ecological law needed to be established.

The cycle of life and death, the flow of causality, these things touching upon the fundamental logic, were the authority a creator truly needed to master.

Currently, he was like someone who had built a complete set of intricate machinery but lacked the crucial power source to start and operate it.

Fang Cheng straightened his body, his gaze piercing through the heavy rain curtains, directed towards a mountain tens of kilometers away.

Amidst the lush mountain forest, the outlines of ancient buildings with flying eaves and corners were vaguely visible.

In front of the mottled red-painted mountain gate, two stone lions stood solemnly.

Though the plaque above the gate was somewhat old, the three large characters ’Gufeng Temple’ could still be discerned.

Indeed.

A month ago, Fang Cheng ventured into the Inner World of Ancient Locust Village, executed the Mixed Element True Domain, and used the Majestic Great Sun Heavenly Palace to suppress the King of Zombies, Jiang Chen, burning away the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

At that time, the souls of the villagers, devoured by Jiang Chen, were relieved from bondage, freed from the Magic Domain, and slipped into reincarnation.

Yet, the monks of Gufeng Temple remained, appearing in the Inner World.

His sight, guided by Fang Cheng’s intention, instantly drew near.

At this very moment, hundreds of monks maintained their lifelike states as they wandered through the temple.

Some wielded bamboo brooms, persistently sweeping fallen leaves off the bluestone slabs in the wind and rain.

Others stationed on the bell tower, were rhythmically pushing the large wooden beam, repeatedly striking the Copper Bell.

In the Great Hall, the elderly monk he saw that night remained seated cross-legged on the meditation mat.

Just as before encountering Jiang Chen, he remained motionless, his lips moving silently, reciting scriptures.

Fang Cheng had attempted to descend and communicate with them, only to find these monks appeared like clay figures, entirely unresponsive to external stimuli.

The entire Gufeng Temple seemed like an isolated copy space, where the inhabitants repeated fixed behaviors in perpetuity.

Fang Cheng speculated, given that most monks possessed Cultivation in life, their souls were far more resilient than ordinary people.

Being rescued by him, a deep karmic link formed between them, coupled with the overwhelming nature of True Sun Fire, forced them to remain in this world.

However, to truly bring them "alive" in the Inner World, with autonomous consciousness, clearly required other methods.

Fang Cheng gazed at the distant surging waves, Stone Chengyi’s detailed exposition of the Sun Path resurfacing in his mind.

The attributes of the Sun have always had two sides.

One side was to illuminate all beings, benefiting all living things with "vitality"; the other side was the "dominance" that burns away all gloom and darkness.

Destruction and rebirth, dominance and compassion, are not contradictory but coexist as one.

When the practical "action" and conscious "knowledge" fully united, the qualitative change of the Inner World was triggered.

Through thunderous tactics, Fang Cheng executed the malicious Jiang Chen, liberating the souls bound for countless years.

Before they dissipated, they harbored the purest gratitude and relief towards him, the Liberator, converging into a massive Wish Power.

This time, the earth-shattering change of the Inner World was not only triggered by the Spirit Attribute breaking through the 80-point threshold, creating a qualitative transformation effect.

But also due to the previously accumulated immense amount of Merit and Wish Power, capable of driving the evolution of the world.

Understanding this layer, Fang Cheng’s eyes brightened, vaguely sensing an epiphany emerge in his heart.

Whether bringing true life to the ocean or revitalizing the lingering souls, the core lay in the nurturing of causality and Merit Will Power.

Only by continuously practicing his own "Path" in reality, accumulating enough Wish Power, could the gears of world evolution be pried open.

Fang Cheng stretched his arms, shifted his mind, and directly dismissed the repulsion field surrounding him.

The pervasive wind and rain faced no further obstruction.

He lifted his head, letting the rain fall directly onto his body, silently feeling the endlessly pouring rain.

The raindrops didn’t wet his clothes.

Upon touching his skin, the droplets transformed into the purest Spiritual Energy, quietly merging into his body, bringing a cleansing comfort to his soul.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, silently gazing at the cloud-covered sky.

Suddenly, with a slight shift in intention, his form instantly vanished from the sea surface.

In the next moment, Fang Cheng appeared deep within the golden palace’s hall.

He walked straight to the Golden Throne, turned, and sat down, leaning his back against the chair.

Then he slowly raised his head, his gaze towards the high ceiling.

Above the dome, the vast star map slowly rotated.

Each glittering Star represented a Believer who had established a Spiritual Link with him, constantly providing him with the Spiritual Energy known as "Wish Power."

As Fang Cheng’s gaze swept across the starry sea, he keenly perceived the changes in structure.

As the number of Believers increased, these stars no longer scattered but gathered spontaneously into different constellation clusters according to their real-world affiliations.

The most radiant star group near the center belonged to the core members of the Illuminati.

A bit further away were the members of the Truth Society.

Further out, people like Ira from the Wasteland World, individual power users like Cheng Jiashu, and scattered ordinary believers each occupied a celestial track.

Suddenly, Fang Cheng’s gaze rested on the edge of the star map.

Several stars there were flashing rapidly.

That’s Ira from the Wasteland World and others; they seemed to be in some perilous situation.

Fang Cheng squinted his eyes, prepared to project his consciousness to investigate.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck in his mind, recalling his previous conception of utilizing the "Sun Heart Net."

With the star network firm, he could reverse-instill Spiritual Energy into the target’s consciousness through the link channel.

Using this as a medium, he could instantly enhance the Believer’s strength, even endow them with Special Abilities.

Previously, due to insufficient Spirit Attribute, the resistance of crossing the dimension of consciousness was too great; this conception was unrealizable.

But now, with spiritual power breaking through the 80-point threshold, the Inner World having completed its qualitative leap, everything fell into place.

Fang Cheng’s eyes flashed, his fingers slightly curled on the armrest while whispering:

"Let’s give it a try."
