Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 737 - 710: New Ability: Insight

Without his sweat and effort, what use is the Book of Knowledge? It’s just a dead object.

Edison once said: Genius is 99% sweat and 1% inspiration, and his current strength is also 99% sweat plus 1% the Book of Knowledge.

Subsequently, Catherine asked some questions about life, hobbies, and family, to which Chen Shouyi responded one by one.

The interview proceeded in a friendly and harmonious manner.

When you are strong enough, the whole world will yield to you, with smiles and pleasantness. Fortunately, Chen Shouyi possesses such qualifications.

Afterwards, the busy Chen Shouyi rushed to accept interviews from the People’s Daily and Lucy News Agency; after all, he couldn’t neglect any of them, and the published reports would contribute to his Faith Value.

In fact, since last night, the explosion of Faith Value had already begun.

...

Strength: 25.7

Agility: 25.7

Constitution: 25.8

Intelligence: 25.7

Perception: 24.3

Willpower: 24.5

Energy Accumulation: 44.62

Faith Value: 12034.2

Auxiliary Abilities: Accelerated Thinking; Insight.

Talent Abilities: Self-Healing (Super): 35.01%; Giant Battle Body (Super): 99.99%; Control Atmosphere: 55.01%.

Returning to the hotel room, Chen Shouyi awakened and opened the attribute panel for the first time.

With just one glance, he was dumbfounded.

After just a nap, the attribute panel had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In just one day, the Faith Value had increased by over ten thousand; compared to the usual four or five hundred points daily, it had multiplied more than twentyfold.

This wasn’t the main point.

What surprised Chen Shouyi most was the addition of a new line on the attribute panel.

"Auxiliary Abilities: Accelerated Thinking; Insight."

Auxiliary abilities are, as the name implies, not inherent abilities; they are abilities supported by the Book of Knowledge.

"It seems absorbing the Lord of Lightning’s death curse caused the Book of Knowledge to evolve again?" Chen Shouyi felt a mix of joy and surprise, as each new change in the Book of Knowledge brought him surprise.

And this time, there were two changes at once.

But soon, Chen Shouyi realized he was overthinking.

The first, Accelerated Thinking, was simply an ’extraordinary state.’

Thinking speed was still only accelerated threefold, and the consumption of Faith Value remained the same.

The only difference was that this was previously a hidden function not shown on the attribute panel, and now it appeared.

But this Insight...

He focused his eyes on the sub-option of "Insight," and suddenly, countless information flooded into his mind.

Once he digested it, a trace of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.

This Insight was actually opening "four-dimensional vision."

As everyone knows, ordinary human vision is two-dimensional, capable only of receiving two-dimensional information.

This is because light can’t bend, and each line of light entering the eye can only carry information from the closest non-transparent point on its path, forming a two-dimensional image that transmits information to the brain.

As for why we perceive three dimensions? That’s just the brain’s interpretation based on the variations in light and shadow.

A sketch of a cube can easily deceive human eyes into generating a sense of depth in the brain.

This is true for ordinary people, but Chen Shouyi, having evolved into a sub-god, had his vision develop into three dimensions, no longer relying solely on light. He could simultaneously see every side—front, back, left, right—and inside every corner of a teacup on the table.

His field of view is several times that of an ordinary person, allowing him to see what’s behind him even when facing forward; his sight could "bend" around mountains and the curvature of Earth to view hundreds of kilometers away.

What would four dimensions be like?

Chen Shouyi’s heart pounded wildly, feeling both curious and fearful.

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional are within his understanding, but four dimensions were completely beyond the scope of his imagination.

"Should I try...?"

"Hey Giant, the little ones have been calling you several times, why didn’t you hear?" Shell Lady said loudly from the side.

Hearing this, Chen Shouyi snapped back to reality: "Forget it, there’s no hurry; I’ll try when I’m in the other world. It’s too dangerous to do it here, it would be disastrous if there were any accidents."

It’s not that he’s worried about himself being endangered, but rather concerned about collateral damage.

With his current willpower, the little ones can already rival a Barbarian God with Weak Divine Power, and his physical strength even in ordinary state can compare with a Barbarian God with Weak Divine Power. If he unconsciously emits an aura during the experiment, everything around might perish.

Chen Shouyi closed the attribute panel: "What happened?"

"The little ones are very hungry, you’re almost starving us." Shell Lady said pitifully, on the verge of tears.

"Yeah, yeah!" Red Little One nodded vigorously.

Chen Shouyi felt embarrassed upon realizing he hadn’t fed them for an entire day and night: "Alright, alright, it’s my mistake; today we’re having a feast."

...

Chen Shouyi didn’t stay long in Yan State, ignoring the enthusiastic invitations of the command center, returning early the next morning.

It’s almost the end of May.

Zhonghai City’s noon sun shone fiercely; the chill of winter had just passed, and the climate quickly turned hot.

Countless young girls, young ladies, middle-aged and older women wore short skirts, medium skirts, and long skirts... Their dazzling whiteness dazzled the eyes, leaving no time to take it all in.

Walking down the street, Chen Shouyi occasionally saw many Southeast Asians or Caucasians, most of whom were refugees streaming in from the border. Since the mutation, the focal point of human civilization began to rapidly shift eastward at an unprecedented and unstoppable pace.

Although the Great Xia Country hadn’t officially acknowledged it yet, its influence and strength had already made it the undisputed leader of humanity.

Upon returning home, Chen Shouyi found the whole family present.

Seeing him return, Mrs. Chen eagerly came forward: "Why did you take so long? Let me see if you’re hurt."

"No, no!" He, being so grown, felt shy about being examined and quickly said, "Mom, don’t worry, there’s not a scratch on me; the doctor has already checked."

"Shou Yi is already grown, he can take care of himself. Have you eaten lunch?" Chen Dawei said, patting his belly, trying to maintain the dignity of a father, yet his heart was far from calm.

His son actually killed the Lord of Lightning?

According to the newspapers, this was a Barbarian God with Powerful Divine Power, even one of the strongest Barbarian Gods in the other world.

Just last night, the president specifically took time out of his busy schedule to call and offer congratulations, chatting for a long time; he still felt dazed.

"I’ve eaten," Chen Shouyi replied.

"Brother, is what the newspaper said true?" Chen Xingyue, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn’t resist asking.

"Just a more powerful Barbarian God; it’s not the first I’ve killed." Chen Shouyi said matter-of-factly, paused, and then casually asked, "Did the newspaper publish it? Let me see."

"I’ll go get it for you right away." Chen Xingyue, extremely obedient, ran off to fetch the newspaper.
