Chapter 1977: Mathematical Bliss (33)
A system that was already a generation out of date, and had clearly been obsolete for a long time.
It hadn't taken much effort for Fu Qian to identify the third most active umbilical cord.
By comparison, it was already visibly withered. The network attached behind it was in the same state, and the special fluid welling from within was practically nonexistent.
It was clear that it hadn't been very active even before, which was why it hadn't taken over after the second umbilical cord was pulled out, sparing him the effort of another round of work.
Of course, even if it had taken over, it wouldn't have changed anything.
Now that he had a second successful case, Fu Qian had no qualms about cutting them all the way through.
The question was: if the first umbilical cord had originally been attached to him, how had the second one taken its place?
Given that its taste matched the "bliss" he had found exactly, he could confirm that the first one had been the original.
On that basis, it seemed possible to imagine that his "cutting" in the Realm of Ultimate Bliss corresponded to pulling out an umbilical cord in this higher heaven.
Once it was pulled out and the supply of bliss cut off, he would eventually wake up in this world and complete another ascension to a higher heaven.
But during the process, the second umbilical cord had seamlessly taken over. Under the influence of another kind of pleasure, he hadn't woken up right away—and had even fallen into another kind of illusion.
Where was the world in which the White-Headed Holy See was absent and he had fallen to the ground?
Considering all these umbilical cords and everything he had experienced along
