Chapter 775 - 36: A Rare High-Difficulty Instance Challenge
Chapter 775 - 36: A Rare High-Difficulty Instance Challenge
Sun.This massive, scorching fixed star, woven with hot plasma and magnetic fields.
It burns fiercely in outer space at all times, while emitting endless surging heat, radiating a scorching light that can illuminate the entire world, the entire star system.
It is very far away from Earth, and even a magic ship would take a day to cross this distance. However, getting too close is not necessarily a good thing. At the moment, Gu Mo is in a peculiar state of wandering beyond, like a "ghost" that doesn’t exist in the material dimension, quietly sensing the power of the blazing sun.
The distance between Earth and the Moon is an average of 380,000 kilometers. With his increasingly vast spiritual power, if concentrated to the extreme, he could cross this distance and maintain a certain level of interference.
But the Sun is still too far from both Earth and the Moon. Even if spiritual power is compressed into a single thread at its extreme, trying to cross such a vast expanse of space... even if mind power has undergone a second transformation, it is still somewhat overly forced.
However, this situation isn’t really a big problem.
After all, the existence of techniques or skills is inherently meant to be clever.
Through Possession Fusion, by controlling the divine aura of Tamamo no Mae, grasping the divinity that belongs to the Sun, and via the subtle yet clear mystic connection, Gu Mo easily projects his invisible, ghostly image back toward the Sun.
It is precisely because of this layer of connection or divine format mask, that he can take this step to project the image so close.
Because in a certain sense, after reuniting with Tamamo no Mae, he naturally possesses the psuedo-divine attribute of "Stellar Spirit of the Sun".
Otherwise, just as a ghost fearing direct sunlight, his spiritual body projection wouldn’t receive any special treatment, and being this close to the sun, would naturally be completely evaporated. It is estimated that the spiritual particles of the projected image would be burnt out in an instant, reduced to ashes.
Silence.
Soundless.
The universe is so dark and cold; in the distance lies the deathly and deep endless void.
Yet celestial bodies moving conceals their own rhythm, seemingly capable of discovering everything in that nothingness. Everything is so reasonable; everything is so simple and symmetrical, unconsciously bringing a peaceful mind, achieving a meditative state in silence.
——Observing this massive and scorching star up close...
——Sensing through mind the light and heat...
——Experiencing the Sun God’s divine format in connection with Tamamo no Mae...
In a daze, Gu Mo fell into a state like a mental daze yet fully conscious, this inexplicable profound feeling like the so-called "enlightenment" is indescribable.
Magnetic fields, interior, atmosphere, heliosphere, convection zone...
Including the structure and activities of the star itself, relevant knowledge flows through his mind in succession.
By combining scientific intelligence with mystic fields, checking each against the other, it felt as if he suddenly gained inspiration, with ideas in his thoughts constantly bursting forth, as if his vision was suddenly broadened, and the narrow world was expanding in his eyes.
Data and information continuously collide, again and again, thrown into the vast ocean of data, carrying out simulations through powerful computing power and simulated wisdom.
Of course—
There are prerequisites for this.
Currently, all clones have temporarily stopped activity, all computing power has been integrated, and the divine computing power brought by Human Intelligence Integration and the wisdom of seven billion people, this enormous mental network ocean, unveils a grand spectacle, like a raging storm being generated.
Additionally, Tamamo no Mae’s divine format divinity provides the most crucial and foundational precondition.
Without her "Stellar Spirit of the Sun" aspect, all would be just empty talk, nothing more than monkeys fishing for the moon.
"Only the power of the Sun can give the capital necessary to face it head-on..."
Gu Mo lets the inspiration and wisdom in his mind roam freely, letting them continuously collide, sparking mysterious and wondrous sparks within divine computing power, vaguely feeling a rough idea taking shape, as he has already found the exact path.
To be frank, wanting to confront and rightfully defeat Chaos head-on—
This idea is beautiful, but absolutely unrealistic, even including the entire Moon, it would still be a result where the opponent could evaporate it with a glance.
So ultimately, the strategy must be to stall for time... but even for just having the strength to contend with it in the short term, it still requires borrowing the Power of the Fixed Star. Gu Mo has no way to practically, in a short time, construct a Dyson Sphere, a superstructure on an astronomical scale.
Thus completely conquering the star and stably controlling the power of the blazing sun.
However, from a mysticism and symbolism perspective, relying on the authoritative symbol representing Sun Sovereignty, adopting a special cognitive angle, and perfectly interfacing with the material world... there is a chance to leverage part of the Sun’s mighty power. It’s just that one problem exists — this matter is extremely difficult and somewhat dangerous.
Chaos can completely seize the energy of a star, allowing it to burn quietly within Him and transform into His power core, a perfect and complete mastery without any instability or uncontrollable factors. If necessary, it can explosively deplete the star’s energy, even accelerating its aging...
But Gu Mo is different. He wants to directly control the light and heat of the star with the body of biological evolution, and remain invincible and indestructible —
This really isn’t as simple as just a challenge.
Fortunately, he only needs to slightly leverage the Sun’s power for a very short time, which naturally reduces the difficulty of achieving this. Coupled with his thorough preparation and the crucial factors of his available resources and starting point, this becomes an important reason.
After all, nothing is impossible in this world if you’re willing to give up.
If he didn’t feel at least a bit confident, he would have simply exited the scenario, naturally avoiding any trouble. Does Chaos have the ability to chase him?
Although it’s a sudden hassle, it’s also a rare challenge. Gu Mo is indeed somewhat excited, feeling slightly eager to try. He wants to personally experience that level of power and law, even though he is sure it will hurt a lot...
Such high difficulty challenges are hard to come by. Missing this chance would mean missing it forever.
Because in some sense, Chaos is undoubtedly the best choice—the enemy with such a high stature is at the end of their strength, unable to exert full power, limited in interfering with the physical universe, and only able to strike once...
Such opponents are truly hard to find, making them the best sparring partner.
...
...
The Atlantic Anomaly Zone.
The Storm Wall stands at the world’s edge, enveloping this anomaly domain. From the outside, it looks like a giant cyclone, a storm cloud system. But from within, it presents a totally different scene, a distinct otherworldly domain within the storm.
It might be very vast, or very bizarre.
Because, essentially, the Imaginary Trees act as wedges, linking to the severed anomaly history, allowing this pruned history to reemerge... Therefore, inside the Storm Wall, it’s often a recreation of another world’s "IF" line, like a Chapter from another book, torn out and pasted on a paper-white Earth.
However, it’s only a part.
Thus it seems so abrupt, so eerie, so out of place.
Because only parts of the Chapters are torn out and pasted on the planet’s surface. If the Imaginary Tree eventually grows fully and completely outputs that history to the surface, allowing the anomaly domain to cover the entire surface, then there would naturally be no feeling of abruptness.
The anomaly domain will reclaim the prominence of human rationality, completely replacing the execution of Pan-Human History along this world line.
Before that happens, the anomaly domains remain relatively independent, making them difficult to observe externally. Branches of the Imaginary Tree growing from the surface form a membrane covering the planet at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, creating a huge canopy above the troposphere’s surface.
Electromagnetic waves can pass through the canopy, but matter cannot penetrate it, sealing everything inside and creating a wide, unobservable domain.
This was why, back on the moon, someone couldn’t immediately confirm what remained of the anomaly domain, and what they had replaced... Observing from outside Earth’s troposphere naturally resulted in seeing nothing.
And the advancing Servants have also arrived near the Atlantic Anomaly Zone.
The white storm rages, forming a barrier like a dimensional rift, almost impossible to penetrate by any conventional means, except for the fleets slowly moving across the ocean. They are steel ferries, appearing quite ordinary.
However, the essence of these ironclad ships is magic ships, belonging to the type that can take off directly and fly into space.
Originally designed to voyage between the Crystal Wall System and the Sea of Burnable Element, these magic ships have been refined and evolved through the Ascension Era, naturally receiving an upgraded version of their performance, and also possessing relatively stable imaginary space navigation capabilities...
However, this world line future-based simulation also has its limits. It’s only possible because Gu Mo, like Tiamat, theoretically possesses the ability to enter and exit imaginary space, providing the premise to support adding such parameters for simulation upgrades.
The fleet approaches the Storm Wall, entering the mode of imaginary space navigation.
Upon exiting this navigation mode, the fleet has already crossed the endless cloud wall of the storm, entering the internal domain of the Atlantic Anomaly Zone.
The Lion King, standing on the forecastle deck, squints his eyes.
The world before him is boundless, the ocean vast, seemingly very calm and natural, with the sky and sea blending into one. It fills one with a sense of infinite openness.
Is this the Atlantic Anomaly Zone that even that Master feared? Why does it seem so unspecial—not just the first impression from sight and sound, but also the feedback from what she glimpsed of the future with her Thousand-Mile Eye suggests the same, appearing nothing unique.
No danger.
No threat.
Only tranquility and stillness, as if the whole world had died.
