"Let me see how far the fusion between my body and will has progressed during this time. Lately, I've been consciously using my will to control my body. That should help speed up the fusion."

As Lin Qingyu spoke, an irregular "plane," not particularly large in his eyes, abruptly appeared before him.

Although using the word plane to describe an object within three-dimensional space was indeed somewhat inappropriate, it was difficult to find any other term that could accurately describe it.

Because no matter what angle it was viewed from, the thing was an irregular black plane.

And although this "plane" clearly appeared to Lin Qingyu as a two-dimensional image, he had no way to use any figure or image to depict its shape. It was not because the black plane's shape was constantly changing, but because Lin Qingyu truly could not accurately perceive this not-so-large "plane."

Lin Qingyu could subjectively describe it as "an irregular black two-dimensional plane that is not particularly large." But he could not say at all how large it actually was or what shape it specifically had.

Moreover, after trying, he found that among everyone he had encountered, he was the only one who could perceive this "plane."

Lin Qingyu named this "plane," which only he could observe and control, the Will Space.

The reason Lin Qingyu could perceive and even control this Will Space was because it could be considered an "inheritance" left behind from his previous life.

Lin Qingyu was a transmigrator, and his transmigration had not simply been a matter of his soul crossing over.

He found the exact process difficult to describe, but he knew that what had arrived in the world of Swallowed Star was not merely his soul and consciousness. It also included his body, and even a vast stretch of space surrounding the body he had possessed before transmigrating.

Whether it was his former body or the space containing it, both were fundamentally different in terms of laws from the Primal Chaos Dimension where Swallowed Star existed.

This was a difference on the level of "worldviews."

Under the clash between worldviews, nearly everything in that space brought over from his previous life had been destroyed and completely erased. Even the space itself had changed from ordinary four-dimensional spacetime into an indescribable two-dimensional plane.

Fortunately, because the space that had crossed over was simply too weak, the conflict ended in an instant.

After the clash of worldviews ended, the only things that remained and adapted to the laws of the Primal Chaos Dimension were his self-will and this "plane," which had fused with and carried that self-will.

That was also why Lin Qingyu had named this "plane" the Will Space.

Not only that, the surviving will and Will Space had not merely adapted to the rules of the Swallowed Star worldview—or rather, the Primal Chaos Dimension. They had also gained three incredible abilities.

Lin Qingyu named these three abilities: Void Conception, Absolute Record, and True Deduction.

Void Conception, as its name implied, could generate will from nothingness.

The Will Space carrying Lin Qingyu's consciousness contained not a trace of matter or energy, much less a body or soul capable of supporting thought. Yet Lin Qingyu's thoughts could still continuously emerge from this empty Will Space out of thin air. That was Void Conception.

That was also why Lin Qingyu had initially not cared much about his body. At that time, his will had mainly come from the Will Space.

Of course, after his previous struggles, Lin Qingyu had also discovered the rules and limitations of this ability.

Although Void Conception was powerful, if the newly generated will within the Will Space was continuously depleted, he could still run into trouble.

Just like when he had interfered with his own body before, his will had been affected by the Life Imprint of the same origin and continuously consumed in the process of fusing with his flesh. At the very beginning, Lin Qingyu's will had been so weak that he could not spare even a sliver of excess will to control his body.

If he had infinite time, the total amount of will Void Conception could produce might be infinite. But within a fixed period of time, the will it could output was limited. That limit depended on the strength of his own will.

The second ability was Absolute Record. Lin Qingyu had also spent quite some time figuring this ability out.

This plane could not contain any matter or energy, but it could store information. After all, human thoughts and will also contained information.

Absolute Record used this plane as its medium to completely record the information of a certain object or event.

The reason this ability was named "Absolute Record" was because Lin Qingyu had yet to find its upper limit.

After understanding this ability, Lin Qingyu had even used it to record the process by which Earth affected the souls of living creatures on Earth. This was a method left behind by Zuo Shank, one that even Universe Masters who controlled spacetime could not discover. That was why he had become so inflated.

The third ability, True Deduction, was built upon the previous one.

Information recorded within the "plane" could be preserved indefinitely, but it could also be actively changed.

Because every piece of information recorded by Absolute Record was accurate, deductions based on that recorded information were also real.

For example, if information on two chemical substances was recorded within the Will Space, then the information of those two substances was allowed to react within the Will Space, the result of that reaction would inevitably be exactly the same as the result of those substances reacting in reality.

Moreover, as long as Lin Qingyu's will could withstand it, the precision with which he observed the information recorded by the Will Space had no upper limit.

In theory, if he wished, he could even directly observe changes in microscopic particle information within the Will Space.

Of course, Lin Qingyu's willpower was limited, and the speed of his mental calculations was also limited. Therefore, this power of observation was still restricted by his own capabilities.

But even so, it was extraordinarily powerful. After all, there were treasures in the Universe that even Universe Masters capable of controlling spacetime could not completely see through. Yet by using this Will Space, Lin Qingyu could analyze the structure of such treasures and even deduce their weaknesses.

"Perhaps in the future, I might even be able to refine an Ultimate Supreme Treasure during the era of the Original Universe." While holding such beautiful hopes for the future, Lin Qingyu used the Will Space to record his current physical condition.

After a brief analysis, he roughly understood the state of his body.

There were roughly three days left before his will and flesh completely fused. Three days later, he would be completely free!

And if Lin Qingyu's speculation was correct, the benefits brought to him by those fifteen years of torment were not limited to the fusion of his body and will.

Due to the physical changes brought about by the transformation of his Life Imprint, his Gene Level should also be considerably higher than that of ordinary humans.
