Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 653 627: Countermeasures (Part 1)

The surroundings were incredibly quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Chen Shouyi felt as if he had come back to life.

The pressure just now was truly terrifying, like facing death directly, making one's whole body cold, as if falling into an ice cellar.

Powerful Divine Power?

Or... an even more frightening presence!

"Creak..."

Chen Shouyi heard a noise, suddenly turned his head, and was shocked to see the surface of the indestructible ruins behind him beginning to crack extensively, with countless rocks tumbling down.

With a "boom".

A corner of it collapsed.

"Hiss!"

Chen Shouyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression ugly.

It wasn't just that the ruins were damaged, but he discovered that the "texture" of the space here had also undergone subtle changes.

With his high intelligence of 22.2, as long as he saw, even if there were a few ants on the ground, the specific shape and texture of each leaf, he could remember clearly, completely photographic memory.

But at this moment, he became a little uncertain.

It's really baffling, completely beyond his imagination.

Power so strong that it can alter space, not even powerful Divine Power can do that, right?

Chen Shouyi suddenly realized that this Forbidden Land might be a hundred times more dangerous than he imagined, no wonder it was the Forbidden Land of the Tamu gods, the God of Conspiracy dreaded it like a tiger.

Of course, perhaps even He didn't know.

Just those wicked creatures on the periphery were enough to make a weak Divine Power like Him tremble with fear.

"But why does such an existence stay reclusive in the Forbidden Land?" A hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

At this time he couldn't help but think of that absurd corpse:

"Perhaps... the other party is accustomed to a space affinity opposite to the outside world!"

Chen Shouyi's mood gradually calmed down, and he sighed.

He didn't know if he was relieved or somewhat regretful.

If such an existence were to emerge into the world, the entire Tamu would be thrown into chaos, needless to say, but for humanity, it would also be unclear whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

Chen Shouyi summoned Little Dot No. 2 to come out, decisively retreated immediately along the original path.

He initially wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to delve deeper into the Forbidden Land and try his luck, but now that the entire space had changed, he was worried about unexpected incidents on the road.

A small change in space can often trigger a chain reaction throughout the area.

A butterfly flapping its wings a few times in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America can cause a tornado in Texas, United States, two weeks later.

This is the butterfly effect.

And in terms of space, it similarly applies; creating a few Kleinian bottle-like traps that reverse space affinity is quite normal, not paying attention could lead to a fatal incident.

He couldn't help but touch the center of his eyebrows, still able to feel the small pit, the wound had long healed, but the dissolved bone was still repairing, at this moment he felt the center of his brow was both itchy and stinging.

He found that his self-healing ability was very slow at repairing bones, after half an hour it was still slowly mending.

He didn't know when it would return to normal.

The two little ones huddled in his arms, like two frightened little quails, trembling all over.

After the previous pressure, the whole forest seemed quite quiet, even the usual insect chirping and bird singing were gone, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated the air.

Chen Shouyi proceeded carefully and quickly along the marks he had left.

In fact, slight space distortions are usually not terrible.

While within it, you don't feel much of anything.

Your body, your mind, your senses, all change with it, even if one day the space of the entire Solar System is shrunk or flattened by an entity,

you would feel nothing unusual because you are also changing along with it.

What's terrifying is the internal and external inversion, as if one's entire being is turned "inside out", with all blood and body fluids losing restraint, yet you remain unaware, a truly terrifying ordeal.

Unfortunately, Chen Shouyi only had three-dimensional vision, lacking four-dimensional vision, facing space distortion, he could only faintly sense it, unable to truly see through it, not much better than a blind person.

Fortunately, signs emerge once stepping into these traps.

For instance... inexplicably bleeding from your body.

During this period, Chen Shouyi encountered it once, hastily backing away.

He circled around in the forest for a large loop, spending all of four days and nights, narrowly finding his path again, almost getting lost in the Forbidden Land.

Ten days later, Chen Shouyi finally left the area of space distortion along the route, chose a direction, and immediately took off into rapid flight, reaching peak speed, only when completely away from the Forbidden Land did he stop, exhaling a long breath of relief.

"I wonder how things are at home?" Chen Shouyi was a little worried that things might have changed.

After all, prophecy is just prophecy.

No matter how accurate the prophecy, once made, everything begins to change.

He glanced at the massive Divine Stone hanging from his chest, even though he wasn't cultivating, he still absorbed energy slowly, but the efficiency was extremely low, after more than ten days, his attributes hadn't increased by even 0.1 points.

"However, it's not too late for these few days, it's better to focus on enhancing my strength now."

With his current power, he might be able to contend with a medium Divine Power Barbarian God, but against the powerful Divine Power God of Lightning, he was on a path to death.

He chose a mountain peak and carved out a cave.

In the following days, Chen Shouyi began closed-door cultivation day and night, his body gradually growing powerful, increasingly widening the gap between perception and will, these two secondary attributes.

The exuberant vital energy in his body boiled, surging, his five viscera shining brightly, pristine and flawless, his bones crystalline like jade, brilliantly radiant.

Chen Shouyi secluded himself for seven days, emerging from the cave three days early.

Strength: 22.7

Agility: 22.7

Physique: 22.7

Intelligence: 22.5

Perception: 21.7

Will: 21.5

Energy Accumulation: 43.23

Faith Value: 25577.2

He glanced at his attribute panel, sighing inwardly: "Time is still not enough!"

The whole Divine Stone had only consumed about one-third.

Then he looked at the substantial Faith Value he had accumulated over this period amounting to more than 25,000, hesitating for a while, he added 20,000 of it to atmospheric control.

"The God of Lightning is undoubtedly a Barbarian God with authority over lightning, facing such a deity, no matter how strong the body, as long as struck by lightning, even if not dead, it would be paralyzed for a while, to battle such, one can only rely on control of the atmosphere."

Electric current needs a medium for transmission, lightning propagates through the air because high voltage ionizes the air, creating free-moving charges that conduct electricity.

As long as a vacuum is created around the body, with no material present, the current naturally can't conduct.

"Boom!"

Torrential heat flowed through his body, an ant-biting pain tingling all over.

Chen Shouyi swiftly flew towards the opposite mountain peak, halfway in the air, a sky-reaching tornado spontaneously formed, countless trees along the path were swept up, enveloped into the storm.
