Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 633 607: Another Supernatural Talent

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was a crimson red, signaling the approach of dusk.

From the factories on both sides of the road, a large number of scantily-clad female workers poured out, chattering away. Despite their tired faces, they were full of laughter and joy, completely unaware that the last glimmer of human civilization was on the brink of collapse.

Chen Shouyi pushed his bicycle into the garage and walked to the living room.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Why are you so late today?" Mrs. Chen said.

"I got held up on the road. Mom, I'll be entering closed practice starting tomorrow, so I won't be home at night," Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said. At home, apart from meditating and refining himself, he couldn't train the Thirty-Six Styles of Horizontal Training, resulting in a lot of wasted time.

"Your main affairs are important, be safe!" Mrs. Chen quickly said. To her, closed-door practice was always a good thing; the stronger her son was, the safer he would be in case of danger. She then asked, "Has something happened recently?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Shouyi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"We've had two air raid drills this week alone."

"Well, maybe," Chen Shouyi said ambiguously. "Just pay attention to it."

...

After dinner, Chen Shouyi picked up today's newspaper and returned to his room.

After giving Shell Lady a bath, he went to the bathroom to take a shower himself, changed his clothes, and then began to read.

"According to the Agricultural and Rural Department's crop report, a major summer grain harvest is nearly certain this year. With the adoption of new seeds and the domestic situation becoming relatively stable, the grain output is expected to double this year..."

"The President warmly welcomed the visiting Prime Minister of Rising Sun Country, and the two had a friendly and amiable conversation. In the afternoon's meeting, the two parties signed a joint defense agreement, according to which Great Xia Country will dispatch a strategic missile unit to Rising Sun Country to jointly resist the threat of the Barbarian God..."

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a delegation to Tai Buddha Country and Ah Qiong Khan, where they were warmly welcomed by both countries. These delegations will help strengthen relations with other countries, establish a military mutual trust mechanism, and maintain regional stability..."

The so-called "neighboring countries" are, in fact, fallen territories controlled by the God of Conspiracy and the God of Power.

While these news reports appear calm on the surface, internally, there are undercurrents brimming, as if a storm is brewing.

These days, Chen Shouyi felt increasingly oppressed.

The fall of the United States dealt a devastating blow to human morale and confidence. Even after the anomaly, with all countries returning to the starting line, none dared to confidently claim they were stronger than the United States.

If even the United States fell in such a short time, what hope was there for other countries?

Chen Shouyi closed the newspaper and walked to the window.

After a large number of people and factories from Hedong City moved to this new area, it had become increasingly lively, making him momentarily feel like he was in a Safe Zone.

He checked the attribute panel:

Strength: 21.3

Agility: 21.3

Constitution: 21.4

Intelligence: 21.2

Perception: 21.1

Will: 20.8

Energy Accumulation: 27.28

Faith Value: 378.5

Since his transformation, it felt like he had broken the shackles of his body. His progress was rapid, with most of his attributes having increased by more than five layers in less than three months.

At this moment, he had a thought and burned some Faith Value.

Intelligence quickly became 21.2+2.8.

Then he swiftly canceled it.

"If the intelligence level of a medium-grade Divine Power is 27 points, then my current level is certainly not a match for a medium-grade Divine Power," Chen Shouyi contemplated.

"A difference of three points is equivalent to a 3.3 times gap. This difference is too large, and even with the Divine Artifact Armor, it cannot be compensated for."

"There are only two solutions now. One is to continue enhancing Giant Transformation, using overwhelming power and defense to make up for it. A slow-moving elephant, no matter how agile a cheetah is, would not dare to challenge it. Even if it cannot kill, it can still remain invincible."

"The other is to enhance atmospheric control, limiting the opponent's speed and agility!"

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly:

"Forget it, I'll first upgrade atmospheric control to super level. It only costs about three thousand Faith Value. Let's see the effects first and then decide. At the current growth rate of Faith Value, it will only take about ten days."

...

Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi purchased a batch of supplies and headed for closed practice in another world.

Where he stayed was very close to the passage. If something happened and someone came to the other world to find him, he could be aware in time.

...

Ten days later.

Atop a mountain peak.

The sky was gloomy.

The fierce wind howled, and a terrifying tornado hundreds of meters high seemed to connect the sky and earth, rotating wildly. Countless ice layers and rocks were easily torn apart, swept up into the sky, intermittently lighting up with flashes of lightning.

"Ah!"

Inside the eye of the tornado.

Chen Shouyi, naked, knelt on the ground and roared loudly. His whole body was a fiery red as if it were burning, and the intense heat was almost melting his body. His genes were undergoing a dramatic transformation, and his bloodline was transitioning.

He suddenly hammered the ground.

"Boom!"

The mountains and rocks shattered, and then were swept up and engulfed by the surrounding tornado.

His body gradually floated upwards, his hair flying, like a terrifying Wind God. Not only was the air being drawn by an invisible force, but even the surrounding Original Force was converted into a terrifying hurricane.

All the creatures in the icefield seemed to feel the coming of a natural disaster, fleeing frantically without looking back, wishing they had more legs.

Shell Lady squatted on another mountain top, cast a disdainful glance at the fleeing "Giant Beasts," silently mocking them. She, the little one, was not afraid of the good Giant, then glanced at the good Giant again, her small mouth forming an "(⊙o⊙)" shape.

The high temperature inside his body lasted for a full ten seconds before slowly subsiding.

Suspended in mid-air, Chen Shouyi, with a thought, instantly stopped the violent wind, and everything became calm and peaceful.

He looked at the attribute panel.

"Atmospheric Control (Super): 0.01%"

It's finally done!

He lightly stamped the solidified air underfoot, feeling a slight solid texture.

"At this strength, ordinary human legendary power might not be much better than being glued in glue." Chen Shouyi mused, "I just wonder how effective it will be against medium-grade Divine Power entities?"

A trace of fierceness flashed across his face.

The God of Flames...

He hadn't forgotten that humiliation.

It's etched in his heart.

"Whoosh"

Shell Lady swiftly flew over like a bullet, landing on his shoulder in the blink of an eye, her face flushed with excitement, her childish voice exclaimed, "Good Giant, you're amazing, you scared all the 'Giant Beasts' away."

The coldness on Chen Shouyi's face faded: "You're amazing too! Come on, let's go back!"

Flattered, Shell Lady beamed and began chattering non-stop.

Chen Shouyi nodded and responded from time to time.

These days, if it weren't for the little one accompanying him, he would have found it hard to endure such solitude.

In less than a minute, he had already returned to the original place, walking into the ice cave with Shell Lady.

The ice cave was already lined with thick furs. Creatures living in extreme cold mostly had dense fur, which was very warm. In addition, the place was sheltered from the wind, so although it looked cold, the actual temperature was only around zero degrees.
