Chapter 714: Where Did the Explosion Occur in This World?
Garrett was very curious to know if the silver star that rose alongside him was Cirilla.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t accustomed to the high-dimensional perspective. The silver star was only a fleeting glimpse before it shot far away.
Garrett: !!!
Wait a minute!
Let me have a look!
He stretched his perception with all his might. In the high-dimensional state, the perspective was vastly different from usual—hazy, without up or down, without far or near.
Gradually, perhaps due to his inherent understanding of the world, the meditative state began to change—
Garrett vaguely felt a powerful force nearby, gathering into a cluster. High in the sky, it seemed like clouds descended, approaching the cluster of power like a dragon drawing water.
In the distance, countless lights flickered on the ground.
Every place where the lights were more concentrated and stable, the clouds high in the sky seemed to draw nearer.Like a magnet attracting iron, like a massive celestial body attracting another massive celestial body...
So, what does this world look like in its entirety?
Those clouds high above in the higher-dimensional world, are they physically distant from this world, or do they overlap with the material world in another dimension, sometimes merging, sometimes slightly apart?
Garrett didn’t know.
Even his understanding of the material world was not comprehensive.
Is it flat, or spherical? If spherical, what would the other side of the earth look like?
Garrett only knew that from the seasonal sea winds and ocean currents, from seeing ship masts first when standing on the shore, this world was likely spherical;
But, no one, not even the most curious magician, had successfully traveled around the world.
It was said that to the east, east, and further east of the Orc Kingdom were towering mountains that no one had ever crossed.
From the easternmost edge of the New World to the west was a vast ocean of turbulent waves, which no one had ever crossed...
As for the microscopic nature of this world, he knew even less.
Barely, with much effort, he saw the form of cells under a microscope; relying on archmages to unfold the meditative world, he confirmed the existence of electron flow; then, he could go no further...
What is the essence of magic and divine arts?
What is the essence of mental power?
Why, in this world, can extraordinary individuals surpass the physical limits of their past lives and drive spells with mental power?
Further research is needed! Garrett sighed. Most importantly, he needed to enhance his perception, so he wouldn’t miss things others could sense...
Taking advantage of this breakthrough, with the world’s will pouring energy into him, he had enough power to enhance himself quickly.
—Right, which organ should he enhance to boost magical perception?
Garrett was utterly confused.
In the previous breakthroughs, his bones, muscles, blood vessels, heart, nervous system, brain, internal organs, and lymphatic immune system had all been strengthened.
The only parts left unenhanced were the skin and hair—are skin and hair sensory organs?
That doesn’t make sense!
At most, the nerve endings in the skin could become more sensitive. But relying on nerve endings to sense another’s life energy and the vast amounts of life energy within, like parasites gathering...
That’s certainly impossible!
There must be something else that governs this perception!
Garrett calmed down and tried to sort through his knowledge, memories, and his teacher’s guidance, especially the memories passed down to him through the oak staff when he advanced to the fifth level. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and decided to try his luck:
On one hand, he guided energy to strengthen his skin and the nerve endings in the skin;
On the other hand, he diverted a large portion of the world’s will’s energy into his brain, particularly focusing on the pineal gland!
The legendary "third eye" that could unlock supernatural abilities!
Although, considering his spellcasting level had already reached the seventh tier, thinking about enhancing supernatural abilities now might be too late...
Garrett meditated intensely and infused energy. Gradually, he found that this infusion might actually be working:
The world "brightened" before him. By instinct, not by sensory organs, he felt the details within his body:
His heart was beating, blood was flowing. Valves opened and closed, the diaphragm rose and fell, lungs expanded and contracted. Intestines moved, muscles tightened and relaxed.
Going further, immersing his mind deeper, he even sensed minute substances filtering through semi-permeable membranes, high-energy phosphate bonds breaking down to supply energy, and lactic acid and waste being carried away by the blood...
Raising his perspective, he felt for the first time the surging energy around him. Elements were moving, rushing, flowing like tides with each breath towards him;
There were powerful life forms quietly near him;
There were vast currents carrying unimaginable energy, swirling, circulating, churning, and exuding vitality...
Maybe, this is how high-level spellcasters perceive the world? If he raised his perspective even higher, what would he see?
Garrett tried hard to adjust his angle. Perhaps due to his previous contributions—developing a rabies vaccine, heart imaging, treating congenital heart diseases, promoting cesarean sections, revealing the existence of electrons—the world’s will granted him enough permissions.
His perspective elevated unknown heights. Just when Garrett thought he had soared into the sky and was hanging among satellites, inspiration struck him:
What is that?
In the very, very distant place, what is that intense, expanding, struggling-to-explode thing?!
Such powerful energy! Even at an indescribable distance, it pricked his senses like a needle!
Under the dark, deep, calm, and immense energy body, what was that so lively it was about to burst?!
—It exploded!
The sky shook, the earth quaked, as if a blazing white pillar of light shot straight up, piercing the clouds! Then, it dispersed, dispersed, dispersed...
Garrett woke up abruptly. Beside him, the Silver Dragon bent its long neck, curiously looking at him with those shimmering silver-blue eyes.
"Garrett, what’s wrong?"
"I don’t know..." Garrett wiped his forehead with his hand, his palm full of sweat:
"I just snapped out of the meditative state... It seems, possibly, something exploded somewhere in this world..."
Judging by the scale and form, it should be a volcano, right?
It couldn’t be a mushroom cloud explosion!
